Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,460 --> 00:00:03,735
Mysterious orbs of light...
2
00:00:03,820 --> 00:00:06,005
Reagan says, "I just saw a UFO."
3
00:00:06,089 --> 00:00:08,049
He's not just being crazy.
4
00:00:08,133 --> 00:00:10,260
He knows exactly what it is.
5
00:00:10,344 --> 00:00:12,595
...strange visions...
6
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:16,224
George
Washington sees this glowing,
7
00:00:16,308 --> 00:00:18,768
beautiful creature who describes
8
00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:22,105
the future history
of the United States.
9
00:00:22,189 --> 00:00:24,941
...and glowing humanoid figures,
10
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:29,445
all reported by presidents
of the United States.
11
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:33,283
We have an
extraordinary series of stories.
12
00:00:33,367 --> 00:00:36,578
President after president
after president
13
00:00:36,662 --> 00:00:39,289
being associated
with a sighting.
14
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:40,748
For decades,
15
00:00:40,832 --> 00:00:42,375
the White House has denied
16
00:00:42,459 --> 00:00:45,712
having any knowledge
of alien craft visiting Earth.
17
00:00:45,796 --> 00:00:47,922
Even discussing UFOs tends
18
00:00:48,006 --> 00:00:49,466
to be viewed as a career‐ender.
19
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:52,427
But is it
possible that extraterrestrials
20
00:00:52,511 --> 00:00:53,970
have been monitoring
21
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:57,724
and even influencing
America's presidents?
22
00:00:57,808 --> 00:00:59,642
It's really hard for
people to wrap their heads around the fact
23
00:00:59,726 --> 00:01:02,353
that there was
all this E. T. contact going on.
24
00:01:02,437 --> 00:01:05,315
There's a line,
"You shall know the truth,
25
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:07,818
and the truth
shall set you free."
26
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:11,988
There is a doorway
27
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:14,782
in the universe.
28
00:01:14,866 --> 00:01:17,869
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
29
00:01:19,371 --> 00:01:21,498
It demands
we question everything
30
00:01:21,582 --> 00:01:23,833
we have ever been taught.
31
00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:28,129
The evidence is all around us.
32
00:01:28,213 --> 00:01:31,591
The future is
right before our eyes.
33
00:01:31,675 --> 00:01:34,260
We are not alone.
34
00:01:34,344 --> 00:01:37,848
We have never been alone.
35
00:01:51,570 --> 00:01:53,863
In a wide‐ranging interview,
36
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:57,408
Fox News commentator
Tucker Carlson asks
37
00:01:57,492 --> 00:02:01,329
President Donald Trump
his thoughts about UFOs.
38
00:02:01,413 --> 00:02:02,538
You gave an interview
the other day
39
00:02:02,622 --> 00:02:03,706
in which you said
you've been briefed
40
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:05,708
on unidentified flying objects.
41
00:02:05,792 --> 00:02:07,210
Are they‐‐ are they real?
42
00:02:07,294 --> 00:02:09,170
Personally, I tend to doubt it.
43
00:02:09,254 --> 00:02:12,423
We have had people saying
that they've seen things.
44
00:02:12,507 --> 00:02:14,050
I don't assume
it's correct, but,
45
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:16,511
you know,
I have an open mind, Tucker.
46
00:02:16,595 --> 00:02:19,264
To UFO experts,
47
00:02:19,348 --> 00:02:22,517
the president's response
raises a key question.
48
00:02:22,601 --> 00:02:24,727
If U. S. intelligence officials
49
00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:27,564
have secret knowledge
of alien visitations,
50
00:02:27,648 --> 00:02:31,776
are American presidents informed
or kept in the dark?
51
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:34,612
In August 2019,
52
00:02:34,696 --> 00:02:37,574
former British Ministry
of Defense UFO investigator
53
00:02:37,658 --> 00:02:41,745
Nick Pope posed this question
to Tucker Carlson.
54
00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:45,707
Do you think he knows more
than he's letting on?
55
00:02:45,791 --> 00:02:47,250
Or do you think,
as some people say,
56
00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:48,334
even the president doesn't know?
57
00:02:48,418 --> 00:02:50,712
My impression was
58
00:02:50,796 --> 00:02:54,966
that the president
does know more than he said.
59
00:02:55,050 --> 00:02:57,385
Once in office,
60
00:02:57,469 --> 00:03:00,221
every president
has become mum on the subject.
61
00:03:00,305 --> 00:03:02,682
And what it tells you is
62
00:03:02,766 --> 00:03:04,517
they likely know something
63
00:03:04,601 --> 00:03:07,395
that they've decided
to keep from the public.
64
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:09,564
Look, I don't know
what they know.
65
00:03:09,648 --> 00:03:10,940
And so perhaps they have
a good reason
66
00:03:11,024 --> 00:03:12,442
to lie to the public about it,
67
00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:14,611
but... I doubt it.
68
00:03:14,695 --> 00:03:16,112
Months later,
69
00:03:16,196 --> 00:03:19,449
as the 2020 election year
begins to heat up,
70
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:22,327
several of Donald Trump's
presidential challengers
71
00:03:22,411 --> 00:03:25,330
are asked by New Hampshire‐based
reporter Daymond Steer
72
00:03:25,414 --> 00:03:27,290
of The Conway Daily Sun
73
00:03:27,374 --> 00:03:31,210
about where he or she stands
on the issue of UFOs
74
00:03:31,294 --> 00:03:33,254
and government disclosure.
75
00:03:33,338 --> 00:03:36,090
It's very unlikely that
we're alone in the universe.
76
00:03:36,174 --> 00:03:38,092
I think one of the things
a president could do
77
00:03:38,176 --> 00:03:40,470
is to look into what's there,
78
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:43,681
uh, in terms of what's the‐‐
what does the science say,
79
00:03:43,765 --> 00:03:45,266
what does our military say.
80
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:46,809
Of course,
we have to explore that
81
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:48,603
and look at that,
if it is true.
82
00:03:48,687 --> 00:03:51,814
Many people
would be surprised to discover
83
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:55,151
that 36% of all U. S. presidents
84
00:03:55,235 --> 00:03:57,445
have had encounters
with unidentified
85
00:03:57,529 --> 00:04:00,281
or unexplained UFO phenomena.
86
00:04:00,365 --> 00:04:02,909
This,
according to a recent poll,
87
00:04:02,993 --> 00:04:05,286
is a full 20 points higher
88
00:04:05,370 --> 00:04:07,663
than the number of
similar encounters experienced
89
00:04:07,747 --> 00:04:09,874
by average Americans.
90
00:04:09,958 --> 00:04:14,379
We have an extraordinary series
of stories.
91
00:04:14,463 --> 00:04:17,340
President after president
after president
92
00:04:17,424 --> 00:04:19,675
either seeing a UFO,
93
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:21,844
commenting on a UFO,
94
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:24,389
being associated
with a sighting.
95
00:04:24,473 --> 00:04:26,808
It's not
something that just flashed
96
00:04:26,892 --> 00:04:29,185
in American culture briefly.
97
00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:31,020
We can date it back to 1800.
98
00:04:31,104 --> 00:04:33,022
We can date it earlier
than that.
99
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:36,192
This is not a new phenomenon.
100
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:38,820
Presidents throughout history
have been encountering this
101
00:04:38,904 --> 00:04:42,865
during almost the entire history
of the American nation.
102
00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:46,703
Could aliens be
trying to steer the destiny of America
103
00:04:46,787 --> 00:04:49,372
by influencing its presidents?
104
00:04:49,456 --> 00:04:52,125
Perhaps the answer can be found
105
00:04:52,209 --> 00:04:55,002
by examining the very first
presidential encounter
106
00:04:55,086 --> 00:04:56,379
on record.
107
00:05:05,806 --> 00:05:08,099
Amid freezing conditions,
108
00:05:08,183 --> 00:05:10,184
epidemic disease
109
00:05:10,268 --> 00:05:13,187
and shortages of food,
clothing and supplies,
110
00:05:13,271 --> 00:05:16,107
General George Washington's
Continental Army
111
00:05:16,191 --> 00:05:18,025
faces possible destruction.
112
00:05:18,109 --> 00:05:20,403
In late 1777,
113
00:05:20,487 --> 00:05:23,072
George Washington
was kind of at his lowest point.
114
00:05:23,156 --> 00:05:25,658
The Continental Army
had been driven out
115
00:05:25,742 --> 00:05:27,869
of the national capital
of Philadelphia
116
00:05:27,953 --> 00:05:31,247
to a winter encampment
at Valley Forge.
117
00:05:31,331 --> 00:05:33,875
There was an optimism that
they would eventually be able
118
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:37,044
to push the British out
of Philadelphia.
119
00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:40,089
But that optimism
was dim and bleak
120
00:05:40,173 --> 00:05:43,676
in December 1777
at Valley Forge.
121
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,428
Years later,
122
00:05:45,512 --> 00:05:49,766
an aide to General Washington
revealed what happened next.
123
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:54,771
Washington went out
into the woods at Valley Forge to pray.
124
00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:57,732
And he saw this image
125
00:05:57,816 --> 00:06:00,943
of this spirit garbed in white
126
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:03,946
that assured him,
"You will win this war."
127
00:06:04,030 --> 00:06:06,908
And the spirit laid out
for Washington
128
00:06:06,992 --> 00:06:10,787
the history of what would be
the United States of America.
129
00:06:10,871 --> 00:06:12,622
After this meeting,
130
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:14,957
Washington was‐was invigorated.
131
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:16,626
He was inspired.
132
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:20,296
And he realized
this is divine fate,
133
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:22,673
for the United States to exist.
134
00:06:22,757 --> 00:06:25,802
But he first had to defeat
the British, which he did.
135
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:29,222
Could George
Washington really have had
136
00:06:29,306 --> 00:06:32,642
an otherworldly visitation
at Valley Forge?
137
00:06:32,726 --> 00:06:36,103
If so, he isn't
the only Founding Father
138
00:06:36,187 --> 00:06:38,815
associated
with an alien encounter.
139
00:06:39,858 --> 00:06:41,651
In 1801,
140
00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:43,152
Thomas Jefferson filed
141
00:06:43,236 --> 00:06:45,822
one of the country's first
official UFO reports
142
00:06:45,906 --> 00:06:48,658
after astronomer William Dunbar
told him
143
00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:50,660
about an unexplained
aerial sighting
144
00:06:50,744 --> 00:06:53,037
at Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
145
00:06:53,121 --> 00:06:54,830
In his report,
146
00:06:54,914 --> 00:06:58,000
Jefferson wrote of
a fast‐moving, luminous object
147
00:06:58,084 --> 00:07:00,336
about 70 to 80 feet long
148
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:04,840
that flew by at about 200 yards
above the ground.
149
00:07:04,924 --> 00:07:07,843
After it disappeared
over the horizon,
150
00:07:07,927 --> 00:07:12,306
the witnesses heard a tremendous
impact in a nearby forest.
151
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:14,267
Upon investigating,
152
00:07:14,351 --> 00:07:15,810
they found a crash site
153
00:07:15,894 --> 00:07:18,729
where everything
had been burned and scorched.
154
00:07:18,813 --> 00:07:22,066
Thomas Jefferson,
when he was vice president,
155
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:24,527
wrote up an official report
156
00:07:24,611 --> 00:07:28,364
of a UFO sighting that
had happened in Baton Rouge.
157
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:32,868
He wrote it up for the American
Philosophical Association.
158
00:07:32,952 --> 00:07:35,538
So that, arguably,
is the first case
159
00:07:35,622 --> 00:07:37,748
where someone
who would go on to be president
160
00:07:37,832 --> 00:07:41,002
made an official UFO report.
161
00:07:41,086 --> 00:07:44,213
The American
Philosophical Society
162
00:07:44,297 --> 00:07:46,507
was founded
by Benjamin Franklin,
163
00:07:46,591 --> 00:07:48,342
who, like Thomas Jefferson,
164
00:07:48,426 --> 00:07:50,177
openly expressed his belief
165
00:07:50,261 --> 00:07:54,307
in the existence of intelligent
extraterrestrial life.
166
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:56,475
The Founding Fathers' worldview
167
00:07:56,559 --> 00:07:59,895
accommodated the idea that there
would be people in other worlds.
168
00:07:59,979 --> 00:08:01,856
And that was principled
upon this idea
169
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:06,319
that you cannot limit
God's creativity
170
00:08:06,403 --> 00:08:09,238
just to the world
that you observe.
171
00:08:09,322 --> 00:08:10,698
They literally had a vision
172
00:08:10,782 --> 00:08:13,200
of not just the world
where we live
173
00:08:13,284 --> 00:08:14,702
but the world beyond it.
174
00:08:14,786 --> 00:08:17,705
And that‐that world
beyond theirs,
175
00:08:17,789 --> 00:08:21,209
um, was populated
by extraterrestrials.
176
00:08:22,961 --> 00:08:25,379
Could the
Founding Fathers have been aware
177
00:08:25,463 --> 00:08:28,257
of an otherworldly presence
that was helping to ensure
178
00:08:28,341 --> 00:08:31,552
the success
of the American experiment?
179
00:08:31,636 --> 00:08:34,513
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
180
00:08:34,597 --> 00:08:38,225
and suggest that so, too,
was the man who took office
181
00:08:38,309 --> 00:08:41,354
at another crucial moment
in the nation's history,
182
00:08:41,438 --> 00:08:44,899
Abraham Lincoln.
183
00:08:44,983 --> 00:08:48,444
On April 14, 1865,
184
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:50,947
just hours before he would be
assassinated,
185
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:53,616
President Lincoln made
a shocking admission
186
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:57,453
to General Ulysses S. Grant.
187
00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:58,829
Lincoln met with Grant,
188
00:08:58,913 --> 00:09:01,707
who was awaiting news
from General Sherman
189
00:09:01,791 --> 00:09:03,751
about a battle
in North Carolina,
190
00:09:03,835 --> 00:09:05,628
and Lincoln assured
General Grant
191
00:09:05,712 --> 00:09:08,214
that news would come
and it would be positive.
192
00:09:08,298 --> 00:09:11,258
And Lincoln told him that, on
the eve of every great battle‐‐
193
00:09:11,342 --> 00:09:13,761
Antietam, Gettysburg, Bull Run‐‐
194
00:09:13,845 --> 00:09:15,596
he had the same dream.
195
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:19,475
He was in some kind
of indescribable vessel
196
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,812
that he was sailing
at a very rapid pace
197
00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:26,148
and that this, in fact,
led him to understand
198
00:09:26,232 --> 00:09:29,860
that this would be a positive
outcome for the Union forces
199
00:09:29,944 --> 00:09:32,363
and lead to the doom
of the Confederacy.
200
00:09:32,447 --> 00:09:34,323
It's almost as if,
201
00:09:34,407 --> 00:09:38,619
at these pivotal turning points
in human history,
202
00:09:38,703 --> 00:09:41,497
the president
is shown how the United States
203
00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:43,874
will ultimately triumph.
204
00:09:43,958 --> 00:09:48,337
It's a sort of
galactic manifest destiny.
205
00:09:48,421 --> 00:09:50,339
For many,
206
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:53,175
UFO sightings
and strange encounters reported
207
00:09:53,259 --> 00:09:55,344
by U. S. presidents may seem
208
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:57,638
like little more
than frivolous trivia.
209
00:09:57,722 --> 00:10:00,182
But could such events indicate
210
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:01,934
that there is an unseen hand
211
00:10:02,018 --> 00:10:03,978
guiding the course
of the nation?
212
00:10:04,062 --> 00:10:08,108
And if so,
where is it leading us?
213
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:23,914
At the estate
of Theodore Roosevelt,
214
00:10:23,998 --> 00:10:26,751
the 26th president
of the United States,
215
00:10:26,835 --> 00:10:30,755
a giant orb of light is
witnessed by dozens of neighbors
216
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:34,175
hovering in the sky
for nearly two hours.
217
00:10:34,259 --> 00:10:36,177
In 1907,
218
00:10:36,261 --> 00:10:38,888
there was
a spectacular UFO sighting
219
00:10:38,972 --> 00:10:40,765
over Sagamore Hill,
220
00:10:40,849 --> 00:10:44,935
one of the residences
of President Teddy Roosevelt.
221
00:10:45,019 --> 00:10:47,730
Now, Roosevelt, at the time,
222
00:10:47,814 --> 00:10:52,193
was working on
a critically important speech,
223
00:10:52,277 --> 00:10:57,531
and in this speech, he would
set out a strategic vision
224
00:10:57,615 --> 00:11:02,495
for the United States
to develop a truly modern navy
225
00:11:02,579 --> 00:11:04,997
that would propel
the United States
226
00:11:05,081 --> 00:11:07,333
into the position
of a global superpower.
227
00:11:07,417 --> 00:11:09,543
As a part of his vision,
228
00:11:09,627 --> 00:11:11,545
Roosevelt wanted to develop
Pearl Harbor.
229
00:11:11,629 --> 00:11:14,757
It could be said that
were it not for Roosevelt
230
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:17,593
realizing that vision
for the future of the nation,
231
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:20,054
that American intervention
in the First World War
232
00:11:20,138 --> 00:11:23,557
might not have been
as significant as it was.
233
00:11:23,641 --> 00:11:25,559
So...
234
00:11:25,643 --> 00:11:29,730
were the UFOs, were the strange
lights over Sagamore Hill,
235
00:11:29,814 --> 00:11:32,608
at the same time
Theodore Roosevelt was coming up
236
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:36,445
with this vision of
a world consortium of nations,
237
00:11:36,529 --> 00:11:38,573
are they somehow linked?
238
00:11:39,949 --> 00:11:42,701
Researchers find
this incident compelling,
239
00:11:42,785 --> 00:11:45,204
not only because it is connected
with a U. S. president
240
00:11:45,288 --> 00:11:49,458
at a critical moment in history,
but also because reports
241
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:51,961
of UFO sightings
were incredibly rare
242
00:11:52,045 --> 00:11:54,755
at the beginning
of the 20th century.
243
00:11:54,839 --> 00:11:58,467
After World War II, however,
this was no longer the case.
244
00:11:58,551 --> 00:12:00,469
And it happened under the watch
245
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:02,972
of the country's 33rd president,
246
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:04,723
Harry S. Truman.
247
00:12:04,807 --> 00:12:07,101
The Truman Administration
248
00:12:07,185 --> 00:12:09,145
was really the golden years
249
00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:12,815
of flying saucers,
as they were known then.
250
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:16,318
You had
Kenneth Arnold's sighting.
251
00:12:16,402 --> 00:12:17,486
You had Roswell.
252
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:21,157
But then the great incident was
253
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:24,827
the great Washington
merry‐go‐round,
254
00:12:24,911 --> 00:12:29,206
where, in two weekends
in July 1952,
255
00:12:29,290 --> 00:12:32,001
Washington D. C. was overrun
256
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:35,504
with strange objects
that were tracked
257
00:12:35,588 --> 00:12:38,465
by the radar at National Airport
258
00:12:38,549 --> 00:12:41,510
and radar
at Andrews Air Force Base.
259
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:44,180
This is David Brinkley
in the radar room
260
00:12:44,264 --> 00:12:47,016
at Washington National Airport.
261
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:50,352
On these radar screens
last Saturday,
262
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:52,479
they saw
something strange and unusual
263
00:12:52,563 --> 00:12:54,481
and, at the moment,
unexplainable.
264
00:12:54,565 --> 00:12:56,901
It was not an airplane.
It was not a cloud.
265
00:12:56,985 --> 00:12:58,778
Nobody knows what it was.
266
00:13:00,196 --> 00:13:02,782
The second weekend,
jets were scrambled...
267
00:13:05,702 --> 00:13:10,080
...and one pilot called
and said,
268
00:13:10,164 --> 00:13:12,292
"What should I do?"
Meaning, should I fire on them?
269
00:13:13,501 --> 00:13:15,419
And the strange objects
270
00:13:15,503 --> 00:13:18,839
all of a sudden backed off
and disappeared.
271
00:13:18,923 --> 00:13:21,550
When President Truman
was questioned
272
00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:25,387
about UFO incidents, like
the Washington D. C. sightings,
273
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:30,059
he remarkably did not deny the
possibility of flying saucers.
274
00:13:31,602 --> 00:13:34,230
Oh, yes, we discussed it
at every conference
275
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:36,982
that we had with the military,
and they never had been...
276
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:39,902
never were able to make me
a concrete report on...
277
00:13:39,986 --> 00:13:44,239
There's always things like that
going on, uh, flying saucers.
278
00:13:44,323 --> 00:13:46,408
Many researchers point out
279
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:48,744
that it was at this point
in history‐‐
280
00:13:48,828 --> 00:13:52,748
the dawn of the Cold War‐‐
that Truman established a policy
281
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:54,917
of government secrecy
that has come to be known
282
00:13:55,001 --> 00:13:57,544
as the National Security State.
283
00:13:57,628 --> 00:14:00,255
President Truman
really sends us down the path
284
00:14:00,339 --> 00:14:01,924
to the modern security state,
285
00:14:02,008 --> 00:14:05,094
with the National
Security Act of 1947.
286
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:09,098
It created
the National Security Council,
287
00:14:09,182 --> 00:14:11,600
and it created
the Central Intelligence Agency.
288
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:16,105
Truman is responding to what
is now the oncoming Cold War,
289
00:14:16,189 --> 00:14:19,775
this new conflict that will
dominate our global politics
290
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:22,111
for the next five decades.
291
00:14:22,195 --> 00:14:24,905
Whatever Truman's motivation
292
00:14:24,989 --> 00:14:27,241
for drastically increasing
government secrecy,
293
00:14:27,325 --> 00:14:31,203
the topic of UFOs
was caught in the web.
294
00:14:31,287 --> 00:14:34,123
UFOs were something
that people were experiencing,
295
00:14:34,207 --> 00:14:36,959
and right at the moment when
it appears that that activity
296
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:39,795
is kind of reaching a head,
suddenly we have the creation
297
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:41,797
of the modern
National Security State.
298
00:14:41,881 --> 00:14:45,509
Truman clamps down on the
open discussion of such things.
299
00:14:45,593 --> 00:14:48,637
That's
a critical moment in history.
300
00:14:48,721 --> 00:14:51,098
Truman made a decision
that was fateful,
301
00:14:51,182 --> 00:14:53,100
and had he gone a different way,
302
00:14:53,184 --> 00:14:55,978
it would have changed
the entire 20th century.
303
00:14:56,062 --> 00:15:00,816
When we look at the relationship
between presidents and UFOs,
304
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:04,153
we can split this
into two categories.
305
00:15:04,237 --> 00:15:07,322
The historic sightings
and encounters.
306
00:15:07,406 --> 00:15:10,659
Washington, Lincoln,
Teddy Roosevelt.
307
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:14,163
We can say that there's almost
a benign element here.
308
00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:16,123
It's almost
as if the United States
309
00:15:16,207 --> 00:15:19,251
is being guided and helped.
310
00:15:19,335 --> 00:15:23,881
But then the development
of atomic weapons seemed to be
311
00:15:23,965 --> 00:15:26,634
the ultimate game changer.
312
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:39,188
Harry Truman's successor,
313
00:15:39,272 --> 00:15:41,356
President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
314
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,983
is on a golfing vacation
315
00:15:43,067 --> 00:15:46,278
when he fails to show up
for a scheduled public dinner.
316
00:15:46,362 --> 00:15:49,239
The press corps
is given no explanation
317
00:15:49,323 --> 00:15:53,160
until the president
finally reappears the next day,
318
00:15:53,244 --> 00:15:54,870
at which time
his staff announces
319
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:57,372
that he had been at
an emergency dentist appointment
320
00:15:57,456 --> 00:15:59,333
for a chipped tooth.
321
00:15:59,417 --> 00:16:03,253
But curiously, Eisenhower's
medical and dental records
322
00:16:03,337 --> 00:16:07,382
contain no reference
to this dentist visit.
323
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:10,719
Eisenhower goes to Palm Springs,
324
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:12,554
and he actually disappears.
325
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:15,849
There's no doubt about this
from the presidential records.
326
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:18,393
It's really an astounding story.
327
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:21,355
He's secreted out
to this Air Force base
328
00:16:21,439 --> 00:16:23,315
where he meets with aliens.
329
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:26,401
And he and the aliens
strike up a treaty.
330
00:16:26,485 --> 00:16:28,278
And here's the treaty:
331
00:16:28,362 --> 00:16:31,532
"You can stay in our skies,
surveil us.
332
00:16:31,616 --> 00:16:33,534
"You can study us.
333
00:16:33,618 --> 00:16:35,577
"In return,
334
00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:38,288
"we want all of your technology,
335
00:16:38,372 --> 00:16:42,626
and we agree
not to disclose your existence."
336
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:44,419
Why?
337
00:16:44,503 --> 00:16:47,214
Because this is
after the 1952 invasion
338
00:16:47,298 --> 00:16:49,258
of the UFOs over Washington,
339
00:16:49,342 --> 00:16:51,260
so there's an urgency
to Eisenhower
340
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:53,137
striking a treaty with them.
341
00:16:53,221 --> 00:16:56,598
Numerous
whistleblowers later came forward
342
00:16:56,682 --> 00:16:59,935
claiming that Eisenhower met
with extraterrestrial beings
343
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:04,189
not just once but three times.
344
00:17:04,273 --> 00:17:06,567
And many who have researched
these events,
345
00:17:06,651 --> 00:17:10,279
including Eisenhower's
own great‐granddaughter,
346
00:17:10,363 --> 00:17:13,073
are convinced
a treaty was actually signed.
347
00:17:13,157 --> 00:17:16,076
I just feel like
I was just born into this family
348
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,745
to be the one willing to tackle
it, willing to give it a voice,
349
00:17:18,829 --> 00:17:20,789
willing to...
kind of disseminate it.
350
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:24,418
And I know it's really hard
for people to wrap their heads
351
00:17:24,502 --> 00:17:26,628
around the fact that, during
Eisenhower's administration,
352
00:17:26,712 --> 00:17:28,505
there was all this contact
going on.
353
00:17:28,589 --> 00:17:29,756
And it's gotten to the point
354
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,675
where there's
so much information about it
355
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:34,053
that it‐it
really can't be denied.
356
00:17:35,137 --> 00:17:36,305
Is it possible
357
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:37,973
that, after World War II
358
00:17:38,057 --> 00:17:41,310
and humankind's development
of atomic weapons,
359
00:17:41,394 --> 00:17:44,188
alien visitors
communicated directly
360
00:17:44,272 --> 00:17:47,816
with officials within
the United States government,
361
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:52,654
perhaps even Presidents Harry
Truman and Dwight Eisenhower?
362
00:17:52,738 --> 00:17:55,991
Ufologists say yes
363
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:58,452
and suggest further evidence
of communication
364
00:17:58,536 --> 00:18:01,079
between extraterrestrials
and the White House
365
00:18:01,163 --> 00:18:04,166
can be found by examining
a strange incident
366
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:06,793
that involved
President Richard Nixon
367
00:18:06,877 --> 00:18:08,504
and an alien body.
368
00:18:18,889 --> 00:18:22,434
37th President of
the United States Richard Nixon
369
00:18:22,518 --> 00:18:24,686
is entering
his fifth year in office,
370
00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:27,189
mired
in a seemingly never‐ending
371
00:18:27,273 --> 00:18:29,316
military conflict
in Southeast Asia.
372
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,569
Richard Nixon was
under a great deal of pressure by 1973.
373
00:18:32,653 --> 00:18:35,531
He was heralded into office
with the recognition
374
00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:37,366
that he would be our savior
from Vietnam.
375
00:18:37,450 --> 00:18:40,118
He gets into office basically
promising the American people,
376
00:18:40,202 --> 00:18:41,578
"I'm gonna get you out of that."
377
00:18:41,662 --> 00:18:43,914
But I do promise action,
378
00:18:43,998 --> 00:18:45,749
a new policy for peace abroad,
379
00:18:45,833 --> 00:18:47,626
a new policy
for peace and progress
380
00:18:47,710 --> 00:18:50,504
and justice at home.
381
00:18:50,588 --> 00:18:53,507
And then what does
he do when he gets into office?
382
00:18:53,591 --> 00:18:56,677
He expands
the military mission in Vietnam.
383
00:18:56,761 --> 00:19:00,556
To escape the daily
rigors of his tumultuous presidency,
384
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,351
Nixon schedules a golf outing
with his friend Jackie Gleason,
385
00:19:04,435 --> 00:19:07,271
the famous actor and comedian
who starred
386
00:19:07,355 --> 00:19:10,691
in the 1950s hit TV series
The Honeymooners.
387
00:19:10,775 --> 00:19:12,776
Nixon and‐and Jackie Gleason‐‐
388
00:19:12,860 --> 00:19:14,653
they were very good friends
389
00:19:14,737 --> 00:19:17,322
and frequently played
golf together,
390
00:19:17,406 --> 00:19:19,575
in Florida, usually.
391
00:19:19,659 --> 00:19:23,245
And Nixon knew that
Jackie Gleason was known to be
392
00:19:23,329 --> 00:19:25,414
a very, uh, big UFO buff.
393
00:19:25,498 --> 00:19:27,708
He had probably one
of the largest libraries
394
00:19:27,792 --> 00:19:30,419
on the subject in the world
at that time.
395
00:19:32,088 --> 00:19:36,174
His house
was designed to look like a‐a UFO
396
00:19:36,258 --> 00:19:37,718
and same with his guesthouse.
397
00:19:37,802 --> 00:19:39,761
He was always asking,
you know, Nixon questions,
398
00:19:39,845 --> 00:19:41,806
and Nixon, you know,
disclosed a lot to him.
399
00:19:44,183 --> 00:19:47,269
According to an
article written by Beverly Gleason,
400
00:19:47,353 --> 00:19:49,771
who was Jackie Gleason's wife
at the time,
401
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:51,982
the actor's golf outing
with the president
402
00:19:52,066 --> 00:19:54,527
led
to an extraordinary experience.
403
00:19:55,903 --> 00:19:58,322
Hours after Gleason
returned home,
404
00:19:58,406 --> 00:20:00,991
a limousine arrived unannounced.
405
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:04,536
Who's in the car?
406
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:06,538
It's President Richard Nixon.
407
00:20:06,622 --> 00:20:09,207
And, by the way,
there's no Secret Service.
408
00:20:09,291 --> 00:20:11,710
He tells Gleason to climb in.
409
00:20:11,794 --> 00:20:13,545
"This is your dream."
410
00:20:13,629 --> 00:20:17,382
They drive
to an Air Force base in Florida.
411
00:20:17,466 --> 00:20:20,552
And what does Nixon show
Gleason?
412
00:20:20,636 --> 00:20:25,432
He shows him alien artifacts,
413
00:20:25,516 --> 00:20:28,185
pieces of a UFO
414
00:20:28,269 --> 00:20:31,939
and a dead alien
in cold storage.
415
00:20:33,858 --> 00:20:36,568
When he got home,
he told his wife all about it‐‐
416
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:38,487
what he had seen
417
00:20:38,571 --> 00:20:40,656
and how Nixon
had taken him there.
418
00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:43,075
And he told other people.
419
00:20:43,159 --> 00:20:46,328
I actually got the interview
with Beverly Gleason.
420
00:20:46,412 --> 00:20:47,954
We actually interviewed her.
421
00:20:48,038 --> 00:20:49,581
She stayed to the story.
422
00:20:49,665 --> 00:20:52,459
Jackie was very shaken up when
he came home after this thing.
423
00:20:52,543 --> 00:20:55,212
And he was very angry
when she made public
424
00:20:55,296 --> 00:20:57,839
the fact that he had seen
these bodies.
425
00:20:57,923 --> 00:20:59,216
This is extremely important,
426
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:02,052
because it indicates
that, almost certainly,
427
00:21:02,136 --> 00:21:05,681
Nixon was fully briefed
on the E. T. issue.
428
00:21:05,765 --> 00:21:07,891
And if the president wants
to go see an E. T. body,
429
00:21:07,975 --> 00:21:10,227
by God,
he's gonna get to see one.
430
00:21:10,311 --> 00:21:12,938
And if he's got Jackie Gleason
with him, fine.
431
00:21:13,022 --> 00:21:17,776
When his ex‐wife's
story was published in 1983,
432
00:21:17,860 --> 00:21:21,780
67‐year‐old Gleason
remained silent about it.
433
00:21:21,864 --> 00:21:24,491
So, too, did Nixon.
434
00:21:24,575 --> 00:21:28,286
Is it possible that
the incredible story is true?
435
00:21:28,370 --> 00:21:30,997
UFO historians suggest
436
00:21:31,081 --> 00:21:33,625
that Nixon's actions
led to a clampdown
437
00:21:33,709 --> 00:21:35,877
on the information shared
with future presidents
438
00:21:35,961 --> 00:21:39,131
and what they were allowed
to say publicly.
439
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:53,186
Attendees
of a local Lions Club meeting
440
00:21:53,270 --> 00:21:57,357
spot a mysterious object
hovering in the night sky.
441
00:21:57,441 --> 00:21:59,401
Among the witnesses
442
00:21:59,485 --> 00:22:03,071
is future President of
the United States Jimmy Carter.
443
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:04,740
At the time,
444
00:22:04,824 --> 00:22:08,076
Jimmy Carter was standing
outside with a group of men,
445
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,079
and they saw a great orb,
446
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,749
uh, in the sky.
447
00:22:13,833 --> 00:22:16,585
Something very unusual
that changed color
448
00:22:16,669 --> 00:22:20,380
from orange to a bluish color
and back again
449
00:22:20,464 --> 00:22:23,133
and‐and grew in size.
450
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:26,219
Nearly four years later,
451
00:22:26,303 --> 00:22:29,139
Carter remained so intrigued
by what he witnessed
452
00:22:29,223 --> 00:22:31,558
that he filed an official report
453
00:22:31,642 --> 00:22:34,978
with the National Investigation
Committee on Aerial Phenomena,
454
00:22:35,062 --> 00:22:37,105
or NICAP.
455
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:38,482
Jimmy Carter,
456
00:22:38,566 --> 00:22:41,234
when he was running
for president,
457
00:22:41,318 --> 00:22:43,236
he had made the promise,
"If I become president,
458
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,071
I will release all the files."
459
00:22:45,155 --> 00:22:47,073
What happened?
460
00:22:47,157 --> 00:22:49,075
He was elected president
461
00:22:49,159 --> 00:22:52,078
and then he walked it back
and he said,
462
00:22:52,162 --> 00:22:56,041
"Well, maybe there are
some UFO sightings that have
463
00:22:56,125 --> 00:22:58,251
"national security implications,
464
00:22:58,335 --> 00:23:01,463
and perhaps not everything
can be released."
465
00:23:01,547 --> 00:23:03,173
The question is,
466
00:23:03,257 --> 00:23:05,342
what role have presidents played
467
00:23:05,426 --> 00:23:07,719
in maintaining
this truth embargo,
468
00:23:07,803 --> 00:23:09,429
authorizing it and so forth?
469
00:23:09,513 --> 00:23:11,765
Well, that's somewhat dependent
470
00:23:11,849 --> 00:23:13,809
upon whether they were briefed
or not.
471
00:23:13,893 --> 00:23:16,603
Truman was briefed on everything
that happened at Roswell
472
00:23:16,687 --> 00:23:19,189
and anything else E. T.‐related.
473
00:23:19,273 --> 00:23:22,526
Eisenhower absolutely would
have been briefed in full.
474
00:23:22,610 --> 00:23:24,027
Kennedy, maybe not.
475
00:23:24,111 --> 00:23:26,071
Nixon, we think, was briefed.
476
00:23:26,155 --> 00:23:29,032
Carter, stonewalled
and so forth.
477
00:23:29,116 --> 00:23:30,575
One of the stories
that's been floating
478
00:23:30,659 --> 00:23:33,829
around the UFO community
is that the Democrats don't get
479
00:23:33,913 --> 00:23:36,665
a proper briefing because
they don't have the connection
480
00:23:36,749 --> 00:23:38,375
to the military
the way the Republicans‐‐
481
00:23:38,459 --> 00:23:39,709
The Republicans know more.
482
00:23:39,793 --> 00:23:40,961
So, the story has always been
483
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:42,546
that Jimmy Carter
didn't get told anything.
484
00:23:42,630 --> 00:23:44,214
Bill Clinton
didn't get told anything.
485
00:23:44,298 --> 00:23:48,802
But Ford, Reagan and Bush
all knew what was going on.
486
00:23:51,138 --> 00:23:53,557
Is it possible
that there is a party bias
487
00:23:53,641 --> 00:23:56,434
when it comes to what
an incoming president is told
488
00:23:56,518 --> 00:23:58,770
about the UFO phenomenon?
489
00:23:58,854 --> 00:24:01,773
Or could Jimmy Carter
have been denied access
490
00:24:01,857 --> 00:24:03,567
to government UFO files
491
00:24:03,651 --> 00:24:05,944
because he had promised
to release them to the public
492
00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:08,196
during his campaign?
493
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,116
Perhaps further clues
can be found
494
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,411
by examining what happened
to a presidential candidate
495
00:24:14,495 --> 00:24:17,789
after he admitted
to his own UFO sighting.
496
00:24:17,873 --> 00:24:21,251
Did you see a UFO?
497
00:24:31,178 --> 00:24:35,599
During the Democratic primary
debate at Drexel University,
498
00:24:35,683 --> 00:24:37,851
moderator Tim Russert turns
499
00:24:37,935 --> 00:24:41,354
and addresses presidential
candidate Dennis Kucinich.
500
00:24:41,438 --> 00:24:43,315
Congressman Kucinich,
a serious question.
501
00:24:43,399 --> 00:24:46,443
Shirley MacLaine
writes in her new book
502
00:24:46,527 --> 00:24:48,820
that you sighted a UFO
503
00:24:48,904 --> 00:24:51,114
‐over her home in Washington State,
‐
504
00:24:51,198 --> 00:24:54,326
that you found
the encounter extremely moving,
505
00:24:54,410 --> 00:24:56,620
that it was a triangular craft.
506
00:24:56,704 --> 00:24:59,664
Now, did you see a UFO?
507
00:24:59,748 --> 00:25:01,458
Uh, I‐I did.
508
00:25:01,542 --> 00:25:02,959
‐And, uh,
the rest of the account... ‐
509
00:25:03,043 --> 00:25:04,419
Hold‐‐ I‐I didn't‐‐ I‐‐
510
00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:06,421
It was an unidentified
flying object, okay?
511
00:25:06,505 --> 00:25:08,173
It's like‐‐ It's unidentified.
512
00:25:08,257 --> 00:25:09,758
I saw something. Now...
513
00:25:09,842 --> 00:25:11,801
And, also, you have
to keep in mind that more‐‐
514
00:25:11,885 --> 00:25:14,179
that Jimmy Carter saw a UFO
515
00:25:14,263 --> 00:25:16,932
and also that more people
in this country,
516
00:25:17,016 --> 00:25:19,517
uh, uh, have seen UFOs
517
00:25:19,601 --> 00:25:22,354
than I think approve
of George Bush's presidency.
518
00:25:22,438 --> 00:25:25,607
The debate
moment made national headlines.
519
00:25:25,691 --> 00:25:28,610
Many political commentators
speculated
520
00:25:28,694 --> 00:25:31,821
that this admission
damaged his campaign.
521
00:25:31,905 --> 00:25:33,823
I think, uh,
for most people, it's been
522
00:25:33,907 --> 00:25:38,328
the‐the notion that you
are even discussing UFOs
523
00:25:38,412 --> 00:25:39,996
tends to be viewed
as a career‐ender.
524
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,791
You know, people think you're
a little bit wacky if you're‐‐
525
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:46,211
if you're, uh,
taking the phenomena seriously.
526
00:25:46,295 --> 00:25:50,883
But just what
did Dennis Kucinich experience?
527
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,980
Former British
Ministry of Defense
528
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:07,357
UFO investigator Nick Pope
529
00:26:07,441 --> 00:26:10,318
has arranged to meet with
Dennis Kucinich at the location
530
00:26:10,402 --> 00:26:12,737
of his 1982 UFO encounter,
531
00:26:12,821 --> 00:26:14,239
the former home
532
00:26:14,323 --> 00:26:18,368
of Academy Award‐winning actress
Shirley MacLaine.
533
00:26:18,452 --> 00:26:20,662
The home,
which has since been sold,
534
00:26:20,746 --> 00:26:22,998
overlooks Mount Rainier,
535
00:26:23,082 --> 00:26:26,960
the site of the infamous Kenneth
Arnold flying saucer incident
536
00:26:27,044 --> 00:26:30,088
that ignited the UFO craze
in 1947.
537
00:26:30,172 --> 00:26:32,882
‐Hey there! Welcome! ‐Hi. ‐Hi.
538
00:26:32,966 --> 00:26:35,552
The current owner
agreed to allow Nick and Dennis
539
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:37,554
to take a look around.
540
00:26:37,638 --> 00:26:39,556
‐Come on in. ‐Go
ahead. ‐Thank you.
541
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:40,932
Wow.
542
00:26:41,016 --> 00:26:43,685
‐Yeah, really.
‐
543
00:26:43,769 --> 00:26:44,728
What a fabulous view.
544
00:26:44,812 --> 00:26:47,439
Oh, look,
there's nothing like this.
545
00:26:47,523 --> 00:26:51,359
This is, of course, the location
where you had your UFO sighting.
546
00:26:51,443 --> 00:26:53,069
Can you tell me about it?
547
00:26:53,153 --> 00:26:54,904
Well, uh, Nick, I was seated
548
00:26:54,988 --> 00:26:58,533
at a dinner table
with myself and two friends.
549
00:26:58,617 --> 00:27:01,619
And I noticed a light
in the distance.
550
00:27:01,703 --> 00:27:03,079
Came from the hill
directly over the house.
551
00:27:03,163 --> 00:27:05,249
‐Come on. Let me show you, okay?
‐Okay.
552
00:27:07,209 --> 00:27:09,502
‐Wow. Fabulous.
‐So, I was standing out here.
553
00:27:09,586 --> 00:27:11,004
The‐the scope was here.
554
00:27:11,088 --> 00:27:13,590
I‐I brought it up here...
555
00:27:15,092 --> 00:27:18,261
...so that I could get a look
at the light.
556
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:20,889
And when I looked at it, I saw
it wasn't just, uh, one light.
557
00:27:20,973 --> 00:27:23,224
It was a series of lights,
like a grid,
558
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:25,435
one stacked on another.
559
00:27:25,519 --> 00:27:26,895
I went back and I looked
560
00:27:26,979 --> 00:27:29,773
and then I saw something
that was extraordinary.
561
00:27:29,857 --> 00:27:32,609
I‐I said
the lights were separating.
562
00:27:32,693 --> 00:27:34,235
They were definitely moving
in this direction.
563
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:36,446
So, at that point,
I came right to the edge here,
564
00:27:36,530 --> 00:27:39,908
and I looked out into the hills
to watch
565
00:27:39,992 --> 00:27:43,411
what proved to be three crafts
moving in this direction.
566
00:27:43,495 --> 00:27:45,079
Just to be clear,
567
00:27:45,163 --> 00:27:46,456
first seen over there
568
00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:49,417
‐to directly over the house.
‐Right.
569
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:51,920
Right in the hills
in the distance
570
00:27:52,004 --> 00:27:54,672
and then in a straight line.
571
00:27:54,756 --> 00:27:59,010
That straight line would just go
right overhead here
572
00:27:59,094 --> 00:28:02,430
and then above the house
and then‐‐
573
00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:06,267
‐and then quickly accelerating out
of sight. ‐Right. And then whoosh.
574
00:28:06,351 --> 00:28:08,102
Just like that, gone.
575
00:28:08,186 --> 00:28:10,188
‐And that was the last you
saw of them? ‐Oh, yeah.
576
00:28:11,315 --> 00:28:12,941
The next day,
577
00:28:13,025 --> 00:28:16,486
Kucinich described the
experience to Shirley MacLaine.
578
00:28:16,570 --> 00:28:21,491
He would say nothing more
about it for 26 years.
579
00:28:21,575 --> 00:28:25,578
And then, when running for the
Democratic nomination in 2008,
580
00:28:25,662 --> 00:28:29,541
his private UFO sighting
would become a public event,
581
00:28:29,625 --> 00:28:33,670
affecting presidential politics
in a most unexpected way.
582
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:37,090
When the question was asked,
583
00:28:37,174 --> 00:28:41,052
I‐I think there was mention of,
you know, feeling almost a...
584
00:28:41,136 --> 00:28:43,012
an emotional connection,
585
00:28:43,096 --> 00:28:44,597
that it spoke to you.
586
00:28:44,681 --> 00:28:47,267
I mean, not in a literal sense
but feelings.
587
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:50,019
I don't know that I ever
communicated that to anyone.
588
00:28:50,103 --> 00:28:51,187
But I will tell you this,
589
00:28:51,271 --> 00:28:53,606
that it‐it was extraordinary.
590
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:54,691
It was exciting.
591
00:28:54,775 --> 00:28:56,568
How could it not be?
592
00:28:56,652 --> 00:28:58,820
I mean, anybody who would see
anything like that
593
00:28:58,904 --> 00:29:00,196
would have to be excited.
594
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,322
And was I?
595
00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:02,741
Uh, yeah.
596
00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:06,160
After the debate,
597
00:29:06,244 --> 00:29:08,746
commentators like Chris Matthews
questioned
598
00:29:08,830 --> 00:29:12,166
whether Kucinich's admission
had, in effect, disqualified him
599
00:29:12,250 --> 00:29:14,002
from the presidential race.
600
00:29:14,086 --> 00:29:17,839
But he was surprised by the
reaction of another candidate,
601
00:29:17,923 --> 00:29:20,842
New Mexico Governor
Bill Richardson.
602
00:29:20,926 --> 00:29:23,386
Is that disqualifying
for a presidential candidate,
603
00:29:23,470 --> 00:29:25,763
‐to say you've seen UFOs?
‐
604
00:29:25,847 --> 00:29:27,557
You know, I've never seen one.
605
00:29:27,641 --> 00:29:31,019
Uh, you know, Roswell, New
Mexico, is the hotbed of UFOs,
606
00:29:31,103 --> 00:29:33,980
‐and I promote Roswell
as a tourism issue. ‐I know.
607
00:29:34,064 --> 00:29:37,191
The federal government has not
come clean on all that issue,
608
00:29:37,275 --> 00:29:39,485
and it should.
But, no, I've never seen one.
609
00:29:39,569 --> 00:29:41,571
‐It's an incredible...
‐Wait a minute! Stop the music!
610
00:29:41,655 --> 00:29:43,323
‐
‐Stop the music, Governor.
611
00:29:43,407 --> 00:29:46,159
Did you say the United States
government is covering up
612
00:29:46,243 --> 00:29:49,329
a history of the UFO sighting
in your state?
613
00:29:49,413 --> 00:29:51,956
‐You said the government hasn't cleared
this up yet. ‐Well, the answer there is...
614
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,792
‐What are they hiding, that you
say about a UFO? ‐No, they haven't.
615
00:29:54,876 --> 00:29:57,629
Well, they‐they don't produce
documents, Chris.
616
00:29:57,713 --> 00:29:59,422
They should just get it all out.
617
00:29:59,506 --> 00:30:01,674
‐And there's a known
history about this. ‐What...
618
00:30:01,758 --> 00:30:03,301
‐What is the conspir‐‐ What is your belief that
they're hiding? ‐I think if they came clean,
619
00:30:03,385 --> 00:30:05,595
if they released all documents‐‐
620
00:30:05,679 --> 00:30:07,680
Look, I don't believe
there are UFOs,
621
00:30:07,764 --> 00:30:09,599
but the government
has not handled this well
622
00:30:09,683 --> 00:30:11,684
over the years.
That's a historical fact.
623
00:30:11,768 --> 00:30:14,812
Three months
after Kucinich's admission,
624
00:30:14,896 --> 00:30:17,273
he withdrew
from the Democratic race,
625
00:30:17,357 --> 00:30:21,778
but he remains committed
to a policy of disclosure.
626
00:30:21,862 --> 00:30:26,240
Information ought
to be open for people to see
627
00:30:26,324 --> 00:30:28,743
so we know what our government's
actually about.
628
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:31,162
Let the people know.
Let the people know
629
00:30:31,246 --> 00:30:35,375
what's going on with
unexplained aerial phenomenon.
630
00:30:35,459 --> 00:30:38,044
If extraterrestrials
have been monitoring
631
00:30:38,128 --> 00:30:40,964
and perhaps guiding
the course of the United States
632
00:30:41,048 --> 00:30:43,591
since the time
of George Washington,
633
00:30:43,675 --> 00:30:46,177
where is it all leading?
634
00:30:46,261 --> 00:30:49,764
Perhaps the answer can be found
by examining the president
635
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:52,350
who was most vocal
when it came to speculating
636
00:30:52,434 --> 00:30:54,644
about an alien invasion,
637
00:30:54,728 --> 00:30:57,189
Ronald Reagan.
638
00:31:08,408 --> 00:31:11,119
California Governor
Ronald Reagan,
639
00:31:11,203 --> 00:31:12,996
along with his security detail,
640
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,249
boards a Cessna aircraft bound
for a fundraising event
641
00:31:16,333 --> 00:31:17,834
in Bakersfield.
642
00:31:17,918 --> 00:31:22,130
As the aircraft reaches
an altitude of 35,000 feet,
643
00:31:22,214 --> 00:31:25,466
Governor Reagan is startled
by a mysterious orb of light,
644
00:31:25,550 --> 00:31:28,803
which appears to be flying
alongside his plane.
645
00:31:28,887 --> 00:31:32,140
Ronald Reagan
was flying in an airplane
646
00:31:32,224 --> 00:31:36,019
and had an encounter with
an unidentified flying object.
647
00:31:38,063 --> 00:31:39,772
He asked the pilot to follow it.
648
00:31:39,856 --> 00:31:42,608
They followed it
for a period of time.
649
00:31:42,692 --> 00:31:45,987
Reagan is enthusiastic
about this.
650
00:31:46,071 --> 00:31:47,280
When he lands,
651
00:31:47,364 --> 00:31:50,074
he says, "I just saw a UFO."
652
00:31:50,158 --> 00:31:52,410
He's not just being crazy.
653
00:31:52,494 --> 00:31:55,288
He saw the UFO.
654
00:31:55,372 --> 00:31:57,331
He knows exactly what it is.
655
00:31:57,415 --> 00:32:00,168
The pilot that
corroborated Reagan's sighting
656
00:32:00,252 --> 00:32:02,712
was Air Force Colonel
Bill Paynter,
657
00:32:02,796 --> 00:32:05,465
who claimed that the UFO
appeared to elongate
658
00:32:05,549 --> 00:32:08,134
and then rapidly shoot up
into the sky.
659
00:32:08,218 --> 00:32:10,178
Some years later,
660
00:32:10,262 --> 00:32:11,929
the pilot was asked,
661
00:32:12,013 --> 00:32:16,476
did he really think
that Reagan believed in UFOs?
662
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,937
And the pilot said,
"After what we saw
663
00:32:20,021 --> 00:32:22,315
"in the sky that night,
664
00:32:22,399 --> 00:32:25,109
how could anybody not believe
in them?"
665
00:32:25,193 --> 00:32:28,029
According to historians,
666
00:32:28,113 --> 00:32:29,530
it was this incident
667
00:32:29,614 --> 00:32:31,824
that sparked Ronald Reagan's
lifelong interest
668
00:32:31,908 --> 00:32:34,035
and belief in UFOs.
669
00:32:34,119 --> 00:32:36,162
But unlike other politicians
670
00:32:36,246 --> 00:32:38,206
who suffered ridicule
for such beliefs,
671
00:32:38,290 --> 00:32:41,709
Reagan did not,
and for a very simple reason.
672
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:45,546
His closest aides kept him
from speaking publicly
673
00:32:45,630 --> 00:32:47,340
about his UFO experience
674
00:32:47,424 --> 00:32:50,676
and his belief
in extraterrestrials.
675
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,596
The people
that worked for him really tried
676
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,266
to keep Reagan under control,
so to speak,
677
00:32:57,350 --> 00:32:59,894
because they knew
that he was very interested
678
00:32:59,978 --> 00:33:03,189
in this subject and wanted
to talk about it publicly.
679
00:33:03,273 --> 00:33:08,402
So they had to kind of keep
the lid on it, if you will.
680
00:33:08,486 --> 00:33:10,488
But did the UFO sighting
681
00:33:10,572 --> 00:33:12,907
influence
Ronald Reagan's policies
682
00:33:12,991 --> 00:33:16,661
after he became the 40th
president of the United States?
683
00:33:16,745 --> 00:33:20,248
And, if so,
could this have also been due
684
00:33:20,332 --> 00:33:22,250
to the fact that, once elected,
685
00:33:22,334 --> 00:33:24,377
he was given even more
direct knowledge
686
00:33:24,461 --> 00:33:27,380
of an extraterrestrial presence
here on Earth?
687
00:33:27,464 --> 00:33:31,425
Ancient astronaut theorists
say "yes," and for proof,
688
00:33:31,509 --> 00:33:37,140
they point to a mysterious
document that surfaced in 2005.
689
00:33:37,224 --> 00:33:39,308
I became exposed
690
00:33:39,392 --> 00:33:41,936
to a very,
very important document
691
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:47,900
that March 6 to 8, 1981,
692
00:33:47,984 --> 00:33:50,820
then brand‐new
President Ronald Reagan
693
00:33:50,904 --> 00:33:53,948
was taken
by his new CIA director,
694
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:55,908
William Casey, to Camp David.
695
00:33:55,992 --> 00:34:01,122
With them were analysts
from the CIA, the NSA, DIA.
696
00:34:01,206 --> 00:34:05,543
And this briefing boiled down
to an introduction
697
00:34:05,627 --> 00:34:09,130
to Ronald Reagan
of extraterrestrial species
698
00:34:09,214 --> 00:34:12,133
that William Casey was saying,
"Sir, you need to understand
699
00:34:12,217 --> 00:34:16,470
that we are dealing
with others on this planet."
700
00:34:16,554 --> 00:34:19,140
Curiously,
701
00:34:19,224 --> 00:34:20,892
throughout his presidency,
702
00:34:20,976 --> 00:34:23,269
Ronald Reagan brought up
the subject of what would happen
703
00:34:23,353 --> 00:34:25,479
in the case of an alien invasion
704
00:34:25,563 --> 00:34:29,150
most famously in 1987,
when addressing
705
00:34:29,234 --> 00:34:32,278
the United Nations
General Assembly in New York.
706
00:34:32,362 --> 00:34:35,823
Perhaps we need
some outside universal threat
707
00:34:35,907 --> 00:34:39,160
to make us recognize
this common bound.
708
00:34:39,244 --> 00:34:40,745
I occasionally think,
709
00:34:40,829 --> 00:34:46,167
how quickly our differences
worldwide would vanish
710
00:34:46,251 --> 00:34:50,171
if we were facing an alien
threat from outside this world.
711
00:34:50,255 --> 00:34:53,174
And yet, I ask you,
712
00:34:53,258 --> 00:34:56,511
is not an alien force
already among us?
713
00:34:58,138 --> 00:34:59,805
Reagan was the first one
714
00:34:59,889 --> 00:35:01,682
who said publicly,
715
00:35:01,766 --> 00:35:05,019
"It just needs one
extraterrestrial threat,
716
00:35:05,103 --> 00:35:08,856
and that would bring together
the entire planet."
717
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:11,025
So, you have
to ask yourself the question,
718
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:13,361
"Did he know something?"
719
00:35:13,445 --> 00:35:15,738
Both in discussions
720
00:35:15,822 --> 00:35:20,326
with the Soviet premier,
Mikhail Gorbachev,
721
00:35:20,410 --> 00:35:24,330
Reagan alluded
to an alien presence.
722
00:35:24,414 --> 00:35:26,707
And Gorbachev says
723
00:35:26,791 --> 00:35:30,836
he was quite taken aback
when Reagan said this to him
724
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,297
at the critically‐important
point of
725
00:35:33,381 --> 00:35:35,841
pivotal arms negotiations.
726
00:35:35,925 --> 00:35:38,386
And‐and suddenly,
Ronald Reagan starts talking
727
00:35:38,470 --> 00:35:40,304
about extraterrestrials.
728
00:35:40,388 --> 00:35:43,057
Years later, during a symposium
729
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:46,811
in New York, President Gorbachev
recounted the incident.
730
00:36:12,587 --> 00:36:14,505
Is it possible
731
00:36:14,589 --> 00:36:16,507
that Ronald Reagan knew
the truth
732
00:36:16,591 --> 00:36:19,093
about extraterrestrial activity
on Earth,
733
00:36:19,177 --> 00:36:21,304
and then kept the facts a secret
734
00:36:21,388 --> 00:36:24,140
for fear
of creating a global panic?
735
00:36:24,224 --> 00:36:27,018
As far as many researchers
are concerned,
736
00:36:27,102 --> 00:36:29,478
further evidence that
President Reagan had knowledge
737
00:36:29,562 --> 00:36:32,607
of an alien presence
can be found
738
00:36:32,691 --> 00:36:34,567
by examining
one of his most high‐profile
739
00:36:34,651 --> 00:36:38,530
and controversial initiatives‐‐
Star Wars.
740
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:47,663
On March 23, 1983,
741
00:36:47,747 --> 00:36:49,665
U.S. President Ronald Reagan
742
00:36:49,749 --> 00:36:52,335
launches the Strategic
Defense Initiative.
743
00:36:52,419 --> 00:36:55,588
Nicknamed "Star Wars,"
its stated purpose is
744
00:36:55,672 --> 00:36:57,340
to deter a Soviet attack
745
00:36:57,424 --> 00:37:00,051
by basing defensive weapons
in outer space.
746
00:37:00,135 --> 00:37:03,638
I have approved a research
program to find, if we can,
747
00:37:03,722 --> 00:37:06,932
a security shield that will
destroy nuclear missiles
748
00:37:07,016 --> 00:37:08,768
before they reach their target.
749
00:37:08,852 --> 00:37:10,728
Isn't it interesting
750
00:37:10,812 --> 00:37:13,522
that this man
who had this encounter in 1974
751
00:37:13,606 --> 00:37:16,484
is the man who then,
less than a decade later,
752
00:37:16,568 --> 00:37:18,819
authorizes the Strategic
Defense Initiative,
753
00:37:18,903 --> 00:37:20,946
also known as "Star Wars"?
754
00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:23,157
If you will pardon
my stealing a film line,
755
00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:25,326
"The force is with us."
756
00:37:25,410 --> 00:37:27,328
But was
defending the United States
757
00:37:27,412 --> 00:37:29,372
against Soviet
nuclear aggression
758
00:37:29,456 --> 00:37:32,333
Ronald Reagan's only motivation?
759
00:37:32,417 --> 00:37:35,961
Some believe
that the real purpose
760
00:37:36,045 --> 00:37:41,008
of the Star Wars campaign was
to fight extraterrestrials.
761
00:37:41,092 --> 00:37:44,762
It's all about arming
planet Earth so that
762
00:37:44,846 --> 00:37:47,515
if the extraterrestrial presence
763
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:50,434
suddenly turns hostile,
764
00:37:50,518 --> 00:37:54,063
we have the military hardware
to resist.
765
00:37:56,107 --> 00:37:57,983
While Ronald Reagan's
766
00:37:58,067 --> 00:38:01,195
Star Wars program was dissolved
in 1993,
767
00:38:01,279 --> 00:38:04,907
some researchers believe
it set the nation on a course
768
00:38:04,991 --> 00:38:07,201
for taking the next crucial step
769
00:38:07,285 --> 00:38:09,662
towards connecting
with other intelligences.
770
00:38:18,546 --> 00:38:22,425
President Donald Trump reveals
the official logo
771
00:38:22,509 --> 00:38:26,262
for the newest branch of the
armed services‐‐ Space Force.
772
00:38:26,346 --> 00:38:28,806
With my signature today,
773
00:38:28,890 --> 00:38:32,518
you will witness the birth
of the Space Force.
774
00:38:32,602 --> 00:38:36,647
And that will be now
officially the sixth branch
775
00:38:36,731 --> 00:38:38,607
of the United States
armed forces.
776
00:38:38,691 --> 00:38:40,234
That is something
really incredible.
777
00:38:42,237 --> 00:38:43,988
The USSF,
778
00:38:44,072 --> 00:38:45,781
an offshoot of the Air Force,
779
00:38:45,865 --> 00:38:48,325
was established
by the Trump administration
780
00:38:48,409 --> 00:38:52,538
to oversee military operations
beyond the Earth's atmosphere.
781
00:38:52,622 --> 00:38:54,123
One of President Trump's
782
00:38:54,207 --> 00:38:58,085
most famous initiatives relates
to the Space Force.
783
00:38:58,169 --> 00:39:02,256
Inevitably,
the UFO community have said,
784
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:03,632
"Well, this is
about the aliens."
785
00:39:03,716 --> 00:39:08,888
This is almost a carbon copy
786
00:39:08,972 --> 00:39:12,808
of what happened under Reagan's
presidency with Star Wars.
787
00:39:12,892 --> 00:39:14,477
Trump's announcement
788
00:39:14,561 --> 00:39:16,604
that the United States is going
to have a Space Force
789
00:39:16,688 --> 00:39:20,191
says something important
about what he knows
790
00:39:20,275 --> 00:39:21,984
as the president
of the United States.
791
00:39:22,068 --> 00:39:24,653
There have been disclosures
since he became president
792
00:39:24,737 --> 00:39:27,364
that seem to suggest
that his move
793
00:39:27,448 --> 00:39:31,827
in‐in establishing
a Space Force has merit.
794
00:39:31,911 --> 00:39:34,330
Space.
795
00:39:34,414 --> 00:39:37,833
There'll be a lot of things
happening in space.
796
00:39:37,917 --> 00:39:41,962
Because space is the world's
newest war‐fighting domain.
797
00:39:42,046 --> 00:39:44,757
The final
push to create a Space Force
798
00:39:44,841 --> 00:39:47,968
came just months after
three leaked military videos
799
00:39:48,052 --> 00:39:53,057
of unidentified aerial phenomena
became widely circulated online.
800
00:39:55,101 --> 00:39:58,062
The Navy goes in
and shows Trump three videos‐‐
801
00:39:58,146 --> 00:40:01,148
the Go Fast, the Gimbal,
and the Tic Tac video,
802
00:40:01,232 --> 00:40:02,775
and basically give him
the video.
803
00:40:02,859 --> 00:40:05,444
So what is Trump gonna say?
"So what is it?"
804
00:40:05,528 --> 00:40:08,489
And they had to have said,
"We don't know, Mr. President.
805
00:40:08,573 --> 00:40:10,115
"We're working on it.
We're working on it.
806
00:40:10,199 --> 00:40:11,909
We don't know.
We know it's for real."
807
00:40:11,993 --> 00:40:15,704
Could the
formation of Space Force indicate
808
00:40:15,788 --> 00:40:17,373
that we are nearing the point
809
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,750
when an American president
will finally reveal
810
00:40:19,834 --> 00:40:22,920
to the world
that aliens are among us?
811
00:40:23,004 --> 00:40:25,339
The escalation of the UFO
812
00:40:25,423 --> 00:40:28,092
presence has stimulated
the awareness of the world,
813
00:40:28,176 --> 00:40:30,511
driving the process forward
814
00:40:30,595 --> 00:40:32,263
towards an announcement
or confirmation
815
00:40:32,347 --> 00:40:33,889
by government,
which I call disclosure.
816
00:40:33,973 --> 00:40:36,725
One of the fundamental purposes
of the modern era is
817
00:40:36,809 --> 00:40:39,520
to get the world to the point
where it will confirm
818
00:40:39,604 --> 00:40:41,814
the presence
of these extraterrestrials.
819
00:40:41,898 --> 00:40:43,399
Once the world has had some time
820
00:40:43,483 --> 00:40:46,151
to adjust to that new,
profound information,
821
00:40:46,235 --> 00:40:50,364
open contact then becomes
not particularly dramatic.
822
00:40:50,448 --> 00:40:53,576
In 2019 onward,
823
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:55,619
I think we're not in disclosure.
824
00:40:55,703 --> 00:40:58,247
I think we're in confirmation.
825
00:40:58,331 --> 00:41:01,709
Donald Trump, as president
of the United States,
826
00:41:01,793 --> 00:41:04,795
is admitting
that we've got some of our best
827
00:41:04,879 --> 00:41:07,631
military pilots
who are reporting UFOs,
828
00:41:07,715 --> 00:41:11,051
and he in the White House
and the Department of Defense‐‐
829
00:41:11,135 --> 00:41:15,431
they are watching what
the Navy pilots are reporting.
830
00:41:15,515 --> 00:41:20,603
The human race is now more ready
than ever to accept the reality
831
00:41:20,687 --> 00:41:22,855
of extraterrestrial involvement
in human affairs.
832
00:41:22,939 --> 00:41:24,773
And I think this is ultimately
833
00:41:24,857 --> 00:41:27,109
the end game
of the extraterrestrial plan.
834
00:41:27,193 --> 00:41:29,862
And they're here
to guide us, to assist us
835
00:41:29,946 --> 00:41:34,283
and to help us to manifest
a new future for humanity.
836
00:41:34,367 --> 00:41:38,829
George Washington
encountering a glowing being,
837
00:41:38,913 --> 00:41:41,790
Ronald Reagan witnessing
838
00:41:41,874 --> 00:41:44,585
an orb of light
through an airplane window.
839
00:41:44,669 --> 00:41:47,713
Is it possible that America's
presidents have known
840
00:41:47,797 --> 00:41:49,256
for centuries the truth
841
00:41:49,340 --> 00:41:51,800
about
an extraterrestrial agenda?
842
00:41:51,884 --> 00:41:56,055
If so, then perhaps we are
on the threshold of learning,
843
00:41:56,139 --> 00:41:58,849
not only the full history
of the United States,
844
00:41:58,933 --> 00:42:03,339
but also the hidden facts
about an alien presence
845
00:42:03,424 --> 00:42:05,495
right here on Earth.
