UFOs with extraordinary
capabilities are present in our skies,

according to a team of former
US Government insiders.

This program features
military eyewitnesses

describing these unidentified
craft for the first time.

On Unidentified.

We had
been hearing rumors

that there was a
senior Navy official

in the Italian government

who may be interesting
in speaking with us.

In Sicily, a craft appeared...

it shoot...

a ray.

This is nuts.

These are all their,

Tom.

Yeah.

These are all
their events.

This is it.

This is the briefing.

This has just now
crossed the line

to a true national
security threat.

This is a
worldwide phenomenon.

Is it
interdimensional?

Is it from another planet?

It's a
whole fleet of them.

Oh, my gosh.

For eight years,

Lue Elizondo ran a
secret UFO investigation

for the US military.

But in 2017, he quit in protest.

I put my entire
future on the line

because I believe in
what I believe in.

Now he
joined an elite group

of former government insiders.

Their mission, reveal what they
see is the truth about UFOs.

This is real,

and we're gonna get
to the bottom of it.

For the past
year, Elizondo's investigation

has produced
shocking revelations

from military eye witnesses.

That is something
I have never seen.

Two Navy
fighter pilots told him

they came face to face with
a Tic-Tac-shaped UFO in 2004.

High G, rapid
velocity, rapid acceleration.

How could I possibly fight this?

And a Navy
radar operator said

he tracked an entire fleet
of the unidentified craft

flying over the Pacific.

I had these objects
raining out of the sky,

If these things are
hostile, then we're screwed.

But these stories
were just the beginning.

They're up there
when we take off.

And then we land, and my buddy
that takes off an hour later

had seen the same things.

Lou
Elizondo discovered

a different class of UFOs.

There's a
whole fleet of 'em.

Allegedly
stalked Navy fighter pilots

off the East Coast in 2015

It seemed like they're
aware of our presence

because they would
actively move around us.

And they
even followed the pilots

to the Middle East.

We really have no idea
what we're dealing with.

But
there's one thing

his investigation
has never found,

until now.

I don't know
if it was a journey

more or less than an odyssey
that hasn't finished yet.

It was probably one of the
most difficult decisions

I ever made in my life,
with the ramifications

that it could be
potentially disastrous.

You know, it's not just
me I gotta worry about.

I gotta worry about my
wife, my two daughters.

I gave it all up to do
what I thought was right.

Half the people that I
know think I'm crazy.

The other half of the people
I know don't understand.

At the end of the day,
I hope that people

a lot smarter than me will
come out of the shadows

and tell the government
what they know.

I did this because I needed
our leadership and government

to finally take notice.

The only way I
could fix the system

was to fix it from the outside.

Lue Elizondo
and his partner, Tom DeLonge

are on their way to Rome, Italy.

When I was
in the government,

I just couldn't go
to France or Italy

and have a conversation
about UFOs

with their national
defense apparatus.

They've been
invited to a private meeting

with senior Italian
military officials

concerned about UFO encounters.

Yeah, I'd been
hearing for a while

rumors that there was
a potential attack

on an Italian aircraft.

This is the first time that
myself, even being in AATIP,

was ever aware of an
actual hostile act.

Italy is
one of the few nations

that openly investigates UFOs.

When Tom and myself
first came to Italy,

it was made very clear to us

that this is not an
Italian phenomenon.

It's not an American phenomenon.

It is indeed a
global phenomenon.

We believe that
investigating

and communicating
the subject can help

pull people of all
nations together.

Every government want to keep

extremely secret any information

Clarbruno
Verdruccio is a scientist

and a commander in an elite
unit of the Italian Navy.

For the past 15
years, he's been investigating

unidentified craft with
a team of researchers.

So I know several information.

But my government don't want to know.

Because if my government know...

They must do something.

Absolutely.

I would like to
see what you have.

That's what I'd like to see
Oh, yeah.

If I tell you something that is restricted,

you must give us something restricted.

Well, that's...

We are not Russian.

We are brothers.

You have to give me something
of the same weight.

I still have
to be cognizant

of the security
clearance I hold.

So please do not confuse

my speaking in generalities

as trying to avoid a question.

During our time in
the AATIP program,

we were focused on only
two primary objectives.

Those two objectives: What
is it, and how does it work?

We still don't
know what they are,

but we have a much
better understanding now

of how they work.

We assembled more than 13,000 cases.

During the last 70 years.

And we have a database.

The
Italians have accumulated

one of the world's largest
collections of data

on unidentified aerial
phenomenon or UAP.

Unfortunately, if this is not shared

with other people outside of Italy.

It is useless.

We now have eyewitnesses,

from a broad range
of individuals

who have top secret clearances

who are trained observers

who are trusted to fly
live munitions over cities

and fight wars and win
them on our behalf.

For the first time
we are gonna be,

be guests of the
Italian government

and we are gonna be working
with those individuals

to see what they're
willing to share with us.

We'd like to get into an
information sharing agreement

with them, of course at
the unclassified level but

see what they're
willing to share

and see if anything
that they share with us

happens to match some
of the same profiles

we're seeing over here.

There are increasing number of
people in the United States,

and the government

that are beginning to take this
conversation very seriously.

I submit to you,

if any of these vehicles

had a foreign adversary
flag on the tail,

or identification number,

and they could come into our
airspace without impunity,

it would be a national
security issue.

There's one
incident in particular,

the officials want to discuss.

In 2004, in Sicily, a craft appeared...

a few hundred meters...

behind a copter tail.

It shoot a ray...

that destroyed the helicopter wings.

I can show you the photographs.

This was the only
helicopter in the air space

on a secret mission to
actually investigate

the UAP phenomenon off
the coast of that island,

and it gets zapped.

And there are several pictures
from different cameras

on the island of the
same helicopter

and a UAP following it.

Coming
up on Unidentified.

So this was deliberate.

You believe that it
was a deliberate...

Absolutely.

I hate to say it, but they
may have more information

than we do even in the US.

At this point,

these things are coming
up close and personal.

We are being forced
to address it.

I thought it was an important
thing for our country.

I think people who run from
this are absolutely wrong.

In 2004, in Sicily, a craft appeared...

a few hundred meters...

behind a copter tail.

It shoot a ray...

that destroyed the helicopter wings.

I can show you the photographs.

Oh, yeah.
That's what I'd like to see.

Clarbruno
Verdruccio is a commander

in the Italian military's
equivalent of the US Navy SEALs.

He's describing a
harrowing 2004 encounter

between one of his military
helicopters and a UFO.

We can't use missiles.

against this device.

We can't launch missile

or the missile will be sent back.

So this was deliberate.

You believe that it
was a deliberate--

Absolutely.

In 2004, a
series of spontaneous fires

broke out across
Northern Sicily,

destroying homes and
forcing evacuations.

The situation at Via Mare
in Canneto Di Caronia

is getting worse.

This morning, a episode

occurred with a house
literally destroyed by fire.

The
Italian military

sent a helicopter
to investigate.

Officials say the copter was
chased by a saucer-shaped UFO

that shot a powerful
electromagnetic beam

at its rotor.

The helicopter was severely
damaged but able to land.

The incident was photographed
by a local resident.

Locals had also reported

seeing mysterious
lights over the sea.

For months, the military
investigators were baffled,

but they were able to piece
together a few key details.

This signal was absoutely directional.

It was a beam.

We discovered we could see them

on a certain band of frequencies.

Then we discovered when
they use their energy weapons...

They must go outside...

the stealth mode.

Only in that moment, can we hit them...

with depleted uranium weapons.

And now, what you say to me?

Militaries
around the world

have electromagnetic
pulse weapons that produce

quick bursts of energy that
can destroy electrical systems.

But the Italians claim the
pulse fired in the attack

on their helicopter
destroyed its rotor.

No known military
has that capability.

They were very pointed

and matter of fact
that these things

have been kind of plaguing
them for some time.

One individual in particular

provided some very, very
detailed information

to include some
analysis on frequency.

I hate to say it, but they
may have more information

than we do even in
the US potentially.

The Italians
say the spontaneous fires

in Northern Sicily
were also caused

by an electromagnetic beam

which they say came
from the ocean.

So the target was found

at a distance of
around 80 kilometers.

The source was in the open sea.

Do we have an altitude?

It was not visible.

Because it was in the bottom of the sea.

Elizondo
has heard reports of UFOs

in the ocean before.

We all
very quickly realized

that there was
something in the water.

Lights that are under the water.

And suddenly it stuck
itself into the water.

In the water.

You could use the same frequency

to provide a radio beacon.

To fall them

First

To attract them.

To show them that we have
understood their technology.

Yeah.
Communication.

This was next level.

One of our international friends

may have even figured
out a way to communicate.

We didn't get that far at
AATIP, that's for damn sure.

Have you ever tried to contact those

who are supposedly piloting these devices?

I can't answer that question.

Of course, it's quite classified.

I cannot speak on
behalf of if other efforts

had existed within
the US government.

In Russia, and now, even in China,

there is a tendency to organize

at a government level

in order to study such phenomena...

and to find pursuits from these studies.

You are aware of this?

I am.

Okay.

I think we're all
in the same boat.

So my hope is with the help
of you all and everybody else,

we can move this topic forward.

This affects humanity.

This doesn't affect
just one country.

And so, the question is, in which way

our association can help you?

As the
meeting winds down,

Elizondo, DeLonge and
the Italian officials

agree to form a
global partnership.

If their governments won't
take the threat seriously,

they'll work together
outside the system.

The last moment of the
last hour of our engagement

with the Italian government,
we were afforded a thumb drive,

a thumb drive that has a
tremendous amount of data on it

about UAPs and here
particularly in Italy.

These are all their,

Tom.

Yeah.

These are all their events.

I've got the whole thing here.

These are all the events
since 1901 here in Italy.

All the reports?

All of them, the
entire spreadsheet,

lat, longs and everything.

Oh, look at these.

Look at these historical ones.

This is nuts.

Look, they got some analysis.

Oh, man, this is the incident
that happened down in Sicily.

There it is.

Look at that.

That is incredible.

This is it.

This is where they
had the helicopters.

Son of a bitch, this
is the briefing.

There it is right
behind it, right?

And then when you
come over here,

this is the actual top secret
investigation they did.

Here's the rotors,
and here's a closeup.

Had any foreign adversary
attacked a military helicopter

of another nation, that
could be a sign of aggression

for sure and maybe
potentially an act of war.

So, that's a big deal.

Coming
up on Unidentified.

What will your feelings
be if it turns out

that it is not a US capability?

Then it's something else.

We're at step four,

and these things are
at step 30 or 300.

It is incumbent
upon any government

to protect its people.

And if there's any
military aircraft

that is interfered with,

that could be a sign
of vulnerabilities,

and that's a huge issue.

Hey, what's up?

Lue Elizondo
is back from Italy.

He's meeting up with his
partner, Steve Justice.

Justice is the former
director of advanced systems

for Lockheed Martin's
legendary Skunk Works division.

Here's the bottom line.

There's three options.

It's a foreign technology.

The second option is
it's our technology,

something that we had
managed to keep under wraps

for a super long time.

The third option is that
this is something else.

Where does that leave us?

Over the past year,

Elizondo and Justice have met

to explore possible explanations
for the incredible accounts

of the US military
encounters with UFOs.

Yeah, got it!

They discussed
whether UFOs could actually be

top secret American
military test aircraft

and the pilots they interview

were merely unwitting
test subjects.

I can't completely
eliminate the fact

that those type of
velocities potentially,

potentially achievable with
certain technologies we have.

It's possible.

It could be because, you know,
it was an operational test.

You know, not everybody
gets to know everything.

They also
consider whether these UFOs

could be advanced aircraft
from a foreign adversary.

A foreign adversary,
they would have to send in

something that's super
sophisticated, fast,

that can get in, look at
what it is we're doing,

and then get back out, right?

My greatest fear is that an
adversary did figure it out

and we are just way, way,
way, way, way behind.

The third and
most controversial theory

is that these unidentified
craft are not of this world.

These things that we're
seeing, they don't have wings.

They don't have tails.

They don't really have any
cockpits that we can see.

They don't have anything that
we would normally associate

with a traditional aircraft.

Right.

We can create systems that
do pieces of each of these

and not a single system
that does all of these.

Precisely.

When we were at AATIP, we
had some really smart people.

These were scientists, academics

who had put a lot
of time and effort

into trying to figure
out the physics of this.

Look at this thing!

We were looking at
what are these things

and what will it
take to explain them

and then to exploit them
and be able to build them.

Although we were focused
on the nuts and bolts,

we were trying to look at
all potential possibilities

and options of
what this could be.

Part of that was a
commissioning of several studies

that has now become
quite public, 37 studies.

Right.

This
declassified list of studies

Elizondo's secret UFO
program commissioned

was released to
the public in 2019

thanks to the efforts of the
late senator John McCain.

I'm gonna pull up real
quick here, this is a letter...

Oh, this is the McCain...

Yeah so,

I think it's important
we put this into context.

This is the response by DIA to
the late senator John McCain.

Senator McCain has
been there, done that,

fought for this country.

For him to take the
time to do this,

I think it's very telling.

And at this point in time,

he knew what his
fate was as well.

And so it's clear he wanted
to accomplish some things.

In July 2018,
Senator McCain sent a request

to the Defense
Intelligence Agency

for all non-classified
documents from Elizondo's

secret program to be
released to the public.

Now that the list of
studies has been released

by the US government, we
really weren't looking

at aircraft 40
years in the future.

We were looking at a
paradigm-changing technology

to try to help explain
the phenomenon.

Correct.

The biggest obstacle these
things have to overcome

is a lot of these

were typically classified
as pseudoscience.

Right.

The studies
explored complex

theoretical topics

like invisibility,
wormholes and antigravity,

subjects many believe
to be science fiction.

This technology is,

for all intents and
purposes, magic.

So, you know we would like
to get it.

Whoever cracks the code and
figures this stuff out first

would have a
tremendous advantage

over our other adversaries.

What will your feelings
be if it turns out

that it is not a foreign
technology capability

and it's not a US capability?

Then what?

Then it's something else

because it's hard to
say it's not there.

The studies
examined cutting edge theories,

but they did not
address the question

that has shadowed the UFO
community for decades,

the possibility that
intelligent life

from another solar system
has arrived on Earth.

The question has been
debated for decades

with no hard proof.

The
question of whether or not

there's extraterrestrial
life is certainly

a scientific question that
deserves investigation.

Matthew
Kleban is a leading

theoretical physicist
at New York University.

We now know that our own
galaxy contains of order

a hundred billion stars,
and there are of order

10 or a hundred bullion other
galaxies that we can observe

within the observable
part of our universe.

So you multiply those
two numbers together

and it's a staggeringly
huge figure.

With the help
of deep space telescopes,

astrophysicists
estimate that not only

do billions of solar systems

exist in our
observable universe.

Up to one in four contain a
planet that can sustain life.

It would be naive to
think that we could be

the only ones out
there, and I get that.

What I'm always fearful of

is in people focusing
in on aliens.

Now you start going
down the roads of,

you know, is it
from another planet,

is it interdimensional,

you know, is it spiritual.

What is those things?

And it opens up so many
cans of worms that I just,

I just don't allow myself
to go down that path.

I mean, I think
it's disingenuous

to say it's not an option.

It's so unknown that
we really have no idea

what we're dealing with.

Busy morning so far,
lots going on actually.

Lots of phone calls and
emails on our favorite subject.

So, things are hopping

very ah, very much looking
forward to seeing the Senator.

Former Deputy
Assistant Secretary of Defense

for Intelligence, Chris
Mellon is on his way

to meet with a powerful
ally in his mission

to get the government to take
the UFO threat seriously,

former Senate Majority
Leader, Harry Reid.

Harry Reid was convinced by
doing his own research

that this was something
as an elected official

he should probably care about.

And he clearly convinced
some of his colleagues

in the Senate that it was
important enough to look into

and that's how this
Pentagon program

got started in the first place.

Senator Reid
was the driving force

behind the creation of the
Pentagon's secret UFO unit,

known as ATIP.

Reid retired from
the Senate in 2017

but he's still working
behind the scenes

to push the U.S. government
to study what he believes

is a clear and present
danger to national security.

There's a lot of very
profound, very deep issues

that an individual like Harry
Reid is acutely aware of

that he's been
deeply involved with.

And for him to devote
time to this issue

in the twilight of his
career is fascinating.

We've been in a quandary,
we have these very, very

proficient best trained
pilots in the world

and they see these
strange occurrences

and in the past they've
been afraid to say anything

to anyone for fear
they would be looked at

as a little strange,
a little weird.

So, for decades nothing has been
done about these instances.

What I wanted to
do today initially

is provide an update.

Mellon wants Reid

to know about the increasingly
dangerous military encounters

with UFO's his
team has uncovered.

We've learned that
beginning in 2015,

there were scores of
encounters off the east coast

of the United States

with U.S. Naval fighters and
unidentified flying objects

of different kinds.

And this was within minutes
of a flying distance

from the nation's capital.

This is still unresolved and
this is still continuing.

And active duty pilots
have approached us

and shared these
stories with us.

Where ever we were
they were there.

So that could mean two
things that could mean

they were already there

or they were following
the strike group.

Really the extraordinary
things we learned

from these pilots is that when

they're carrier battle group
deployed across the Atlantic

they continue to
encounter these things

all the way across the Atlantic

into the Middle East
and even over Syria.

We hear so much about
off the coast of Florida

and especially Virginia, people
think that's the only place

these unusual things have
happened, it's not true.

It's all over the world
where we have battle groups.

So this isn't anything
that just is limited

to the United States, it's
a worldwide phenomenon.

But we're finding in
both these legislative

and executive branch this
still lingering concern

about a stigma.

But I never hid from
it, I acknowledge it.

I thought it was an important
thing for our country.

And I think people who run
from this are absolutely wrong.

Senator
Reid secured funding

for the Pentagon's secret
UFO program in part

because he and others had come

to believe America's adversaries
were gaining the advantage.

Since I got interested
in this, has been

KGB Putin.

He was head of the KGB
and I guarantee you

that he's got a lot
of information on this

and I would bet that
Russia is ahead of us

in looking into
this scientifically.

I don't know if this
might look familiar.

This was a briefing slide,
a set of briefing charts

prepared for the Deputy
Secretary of Defense

in advance of a meeting with you

and I wanted to, since you
mentioned Vladimir Putin,

this was 2009 and
so a decade ago.

It says, quote, "According
to Putin in the near future,

Russia will have weapon systems

which no other country in the
world has at the given time.

The new technical
systems will be capable

of destroying targets at
intercontinental distance

with hypersonic
speed and precision

and with extreme maneuverability
in altitude and course.

And I repeat that
is 10 years old.

Correct.

Think of the progresses
made since that.

And what have we
been doing, not much.

Yes, sir and we absolutely
share your concern and...

and one of the things that
is very frustrating to me

is as a former defense
department official myself,

it's not even being examined,

it's sitting on
computer servers.

You know why they're
not looking at it,

they don't want to,
it's another issue

that they're trying to ignore.

And that's what's
happened over the years

and that's too bad.

We now have the technology
of what else is going on

in space, that
information is coming in,

it's all stored someplace
in a computer bank

and it can be pulled up.

We're in an
environment right now

where there's sort of
unprecedented distrust

of our government.

Do you have any
reason to believe

that there is a government
coverup with UFOs

that behind the
scenes the government

actually really does know
the answers and has a...

I think the government
doesn't know the answers

but over the decades rather
than try to find the answers,

they've tried to cover up
what the answers might be.

In an
effort to find answers

we brought in aerospace
entrepreneur Bob Bigelow.

And Bob Bigelow has
been very open about his views

that he believes there
are intelligent beings

from some other place
that have visited here.

Bigelow was one
of the few high profile people

involved in the
Pentagon secret program

to say he believes
the unidentified craft

are from another world.

Bob Bigelow recently
said on national TV

that he absolutely believes
not only that alien life exists

but that aliens are here, that
aliens are visiting earth.

Do you share that view?

I feel it would be from
a congressional standpoint,

it would affect my credibility

if I started talking
about everything I know.

Coming
up on Unidentified.

These are
individuals that have

to remain very,
very much protected.

Right before the meeting
concluded I was pulled aside

Okay, so it's a
huge week for us.

This is a really big moment so
talk to me a little bit about

today and the people
we're meeting.

I'll be introducing
you to an individual

that worked with me
when I was with ATIP.

Lue Elizondo and
Tom DeLonge

are in Washington D.C.

for a series of secret meetings
with government officials.

The reason for this meeting
is to basically deconflict

and coordinate where
are some of the areas

that we can continue help
informing and push the cause.

And they're gonna
also let us know

what they're doing on their end.

We wanna make sure we don't
step on each other's toes

and we can help each other out.

Since
he left the Pentagon,

Elizondo has been working
to convince the military

to create a formal process
for pilots and others

to report their
encounters with UFOs.

Just a year ago if I
wanted to have a conversation

in the halls of the
Pentagon about this,

I had to go into a vault that
was located beside a schiff,

I had to shut the door,
turn on noisemakers

and then I had to whisper
in a very quiet voice

because of the nature and the
sensitivity and the stigma

that was associated
with this portfolio.

And I think that's important

because I think the
conversation about this

requires transparency,
requires collaboration

and it requires honesty.

When you come across a
game changing technology

it's very, very important
that you report that up

through the chain of command.

The
Department of Defense

that was Elizondo's
secret UFO program

officially shut down in 2012

but Elizondo says the
investigation continues.

In the DOD, there's
two things that occur

when you have an organization,
there's paperwork

when you start a program
and there's paperwork

when you end a program.

You won't find any
paperwork that ended ATIP.

Over the past year,

he's been communicating
behind the scenes

with a new team of Pentagon
intelligence officers

who are studying UFOs.

ATIP is no longer
run by a single office,

there's now several
offices that are engaged

in this effort.

We meet with people regularly
involved in this effort.

And that's about all I can say.

Let's roll.

Elizondo and
DeLonge head to a meeting

with three military
intelligence officers.

These are individuals
that have to remain very,

very much protected.

There are extremely qualified
people whom I trust,

whom I personally know that
are still running this effort.

And it is being run
with official blessing

and that is what
I'm prepared to say,

I cannot go into
anymore than that.

The meeting
lasts for over an hour.

Right before the meeting
concluded I was pulled aside

and shared some
private information

that there is still
some degree of animosity

regarding my departure.

I didn't ask for this portfolio,

it was given to me and
I committed myself to it

from day one.

You're given a mission
that you believe in

and your job is to
finish that mission.

Since he
went public,

Elizondo has been able to bring
military eyewitnesses

out of the shadows
and on the record.

We finally have people
having conversations

about this enigma.

When I get a
call to go to the Pentagon

and provide a now
serious debrief,

it's a little surreal.

People have
testified before Congress,

these are active duty
military personnel.

Other people have
had this issue as well,

so it's not a one off with me.

They have
informed Congress,

we have the executive
department engaged.

So far,

this group of individuals
have made more progress

in getting this issue
into the mainstream

and taken seriously
than anybody has

in a very, very
long time if ever.

There's a growing awareness
in Congress about this

but I don't anticipate
that any time soon

we're gonna have UFO
hearings on Capitol Hill.

It really goes against
my DNA to have gone,

quote, unquote
"public" with this.

Do I think it was
a right decision,

it think it was
the only decision

because otherwise we'd still
be where we were

a year ago

which is nowhere.

Something
unexplained is happening

in the skies above the
United States

even the U.S. Navy isn't
certain what is going on.

In April
2019, the U.S. Navy

made an unprecedented
announcement,

it's creating a new
protocol for pilots

to report UFO sightings.

For Chris Mellon, the
announcement is a major victory.

Chris Mellon is
a former Pentagon official.

Chris, thanks very
much for coming on.

Thank you Tucker, it's an
extraordinary turn around

and it's really the
result of an interaction

between Congress and the Navy

and the fact that this has
gotten on Congress's radar

began some discussions
which elevated an issue

that before this time
had been smothered

and kept at low levels
of the bureaucracy.

This is probably
single handedly one

of the greatest things
that the Navy could do

for this country.

For Lou
Elizondo, the new Navy policy

is confirmation of
everything he's worked for

over the past year.

It's also an admission
the UFO phenomenon is real

and needs to be studied.

They're writing policy that,

rather than keeping people quiet

will encourage people
to come forward.

Keep in mind that
the topic of UAP's

just a year and a half
ago, people were snickering

and laughing, right,
that was relegated

to B Hollywood movies
and to TV shows

and now people are having
a real conversation.

The
Navy's new UFO policy

was first reported by
Politico's Brian Bender.

Lue Elizondo, Chris
Mellon and others

have come forward to try and
get the Pentagon leadership

to do more about this,

to apply real resources
to try and figure out,

is it real, is it an adversary,
is it something else?

Where that will lead I
think remains to be seen.

Hello there.
Howdy, Jess, how are you?

Hate to break up the party.

But Tom I normally
wouldn't do this

but if you got a couple
of minutes I need

to give you a quick update
on a recent development.

Let's do it.

So, Tom this
just hit the wire,

this is a Politico article,

the title is U.S. Navy
Drafting New Guidelines

for Reporting UFO's.

Can you read the subtitle?

That's insane.

The fact that they're
coming out now

and they're saying
that this is real

and there's incursions
over our sensitive sites,

we're putting together a
national security policy

to track them,

it's like insane to me. That's to
report them. So you're absolutely right.

I think you can break
it down to three things.

My heart's beating
fast insane to me.

It's crazy.

I'm pretty energized.

There's three pieces to
this article that I find

most captivating, A: that the
Navy is taking this seriously,

B: it's establishing an
official reporting mechanism

and C:, that they have been
talking with members of Congress

and their staff.

And that only vindicates
a lot of the hard work

that's been going
on behind the scenes

but also I think it's
a testament

to the brave men and women

in the U.S. Navy who
want to figure out

what these things are.

I mean, Tom, this has
been the culmination

of all my personally,
all my effort,

you know I never
did this for fame

or status or damn
sure not a paycheck,

I'm doing this
because I was trying

to fix a broken system, right

and as I've told people before
the only thing I managed

to accomplish in my entire
new career moving forward

is getting a reporting
mechanism established

so people can report these
things without fear of any type

of retribution or any type of
consequences professionally,

losing their security clearance

or losing their flight status,
right, all the things that

were bottle necking me before,

from having reports come out.

That is the only thing I
ever truly what,

that was mission success for me

and here we are literally
a year and a half later

of you coming on stage and
telling the world you're going

to do this, it happened.

It's absolutely
wild, exciting stuff.

Hey man, hug.

An Air Force interest
in this problem

has been due to our
feeling of an obligation

to identify and analyze
to the best of our ability

anything in the air that
may have the possibility

of threats or menace
to the United States.

At this point, these
things are coming up close

and personal.

We are being forced
to address it.

We don't have the luxury to
sit back anymore as a country

and say, oh let's not
pay attention to that,

we have to pay attention to it.

Because now it
appears to be stalking

some of our duty assets.

At base, these are
reports from pilots,

from military pilots
in the Navy today

or very recently in the Navy
that have seen these phenomenon

and reported them.

I was a witness to something,

it's something that I
happened to encounter,

I don't know what it was.

People ask me, what
do you think it was?

Do you think it
was of this earth,

do you think it was the aliens?

If these things are out
there we know they're out there

there's enough credible
that says there's things

that we don't understand.

I can tell you that the other
people that were involved

all feel the same way.

Not everyone is talking,
some of them are still

on active duty but we
all would love to know

what it is, I mean, I wanna
know, I would love to fly it.

What a hell is that thing?

This is the story
of the millennia,

this is changing
the world stuff.

This really is in my heart
like I am a part of something,

I created something
that has an opportunity

to change the world
and I really feel that,

that is why I'm doing this.

For the first time in the
history of our country

and in the history
of this subject

the stigma and the
taboo nature about it

just got shattered to a
thousand pieces in the wind.

We have an intelligence
collection apparatus

that is global in nature and
exquisite from 22,500 miles

above the earth's surface to
virtually the deepest levels

of the ocean that may
already have answers

to many of the
questions that we have.

My hope is that
members of Congress

will simply ask the
right questions.

They have an opportunity when
this information is provided

to them to respond
to it and act on it.

I occasionally
think how quickly

our differences worldwide

would vanish if we were
facing an alien threat

from outside this world.

The day will come
when this occurs to you

that it's real, that's there's
some other intelligence here.

That it's far more
advanced than us.

That it could do
whatever it wants to us

and we'd be
powerless against it.

At the end of the day I
don't care if you believe it,

I know what I've seen.

This stands as a reminder
for everything that we do

and how important it is, the
job of every man and woman

and civilian, sailor, soldier,
airman in the military.

We do what we do because of this

and this is a reminder
of that sacrifice.

I'm extremely optimistic
that in a very short period

of time, we're gonna
finally have answers

and resolution to some
long standing questions.

We have access to people, to
efforts like never before,

to places we could
never go before,

maybe we could even
build some things.

I think we're gonna
have new events

that America has never
been made aware of.

We're gonna build
this case so airtight

that not only is it a beyond
reasonable doubt situation,

it will be irrefutable.

I think we're upon a precipice.

I think the time
has finally come.

One
last question:

do you think the public
can handle the truth?
