S. intelligence officials 50 00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:27,647 have secret knowledge of alien visitations, 51 00:02:27,648 --> 00:02:31,859 are American presidents informed or kept in the dark? 52 00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:34,695 In August 2019, 53 00:02:34,696 --> 00:02:37,657 former British Ministry of Defense UFO investigator 54 00:02:37,658 --> 00:02:41,745 Nick Pope posed this question to Tucker Carlson. 55 00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:45,790 Do you think he knows more than he's letting on? 56 00:02:45,791 --> 00:02:47,333 Or do you think, as some people say, 57 00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:48,417 even the president doesn't know? 58 00:02:48,418 --> 00:02:50,795 My impression was 59 00:02:50,796 --> 00:02:55,049 that the president does know more than he said. 60 00:02:55,050 --> 00:02:57,468 Once in office, 61 00:02:57,469 --> 00:03:00,304 every president has become mum on the subject. 62 00:03:00,305 --> 00:03:02,765 And what it tells you is 63 00:03:02,766 --> 00:03:04,600 they likely know something 64 00:03:04,601 --> 00:03:07,478 that they've decided to keep from the public. 65 00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:09,647 Look, I don't know what they know. 66 00:03:09,648 --> 00:03:11,023 And so perhaps they have a good reason 67 00:03:11,024 --> 00:03:12,525 to lie to the public about it, 68 00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:14,694 but...

105 00:04:49,456 --> 00:04:52,208 Perhaps the answer can be found 106 00:04:52,209 --> 00:04:55,085 by examining the very first presidential encounter 107 00:04:55,086 --> 00:04:56,379 on record. 108 00:05:05,806 --> 00:05:08,182 Amid freezing conditions, 109 00:05:08,183 --> 00:05:10,267 epidemic disease 110 00:05:10,268 --> 00:05:13,270 and shortages of food, clothing and supplies, 111 00:05:13,271 --> 00:05:16,190 General George Washington's Continental Army 112 00:05:16,191 --> 00:05:18,108 faces possible destruction. 113 00:05:18,109 --> 00:05:20,486 In late 1777, 114 00:05:20,487 --> 00:05:23,155 George Washington was kind of at his lowest point. 115 00:05:23,156 --> 00:05:25,741 The Continental Army had been driven out 116 00:05:25,742 --> 00:05:27,952 of the national capital of Philadelphia 117 00:05:27,953 --> 00:05:31,330 to a winter encampment at Valley Forge. 118 00:05:31,331 --> 00:05:33,958 There was an optimism that they would eventually be able 119 00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:37,127 to push the British out of Philadelphia. 120 00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:40,172 But that optimism was dim and bleak 121 00:05:40,173 --> 00:05:43,759 in December 1777 at Valley Forge. 122 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,511 Years later, 123 00:05:45,512 --> 00:05:49,849 an aide to General Washington revealed what happened next. 124 00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:54,854 Washington went out into the woods at Valley Forge to pray. 125 00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:57,815 And he saw this image 126 00:05:57,816 --> 00:06:01,026 of this spirit garbed in white 127 00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:04,029 that assured him, "You will win this war." 128 00:06:04,030 --> 00:06:06,991 And the spirit laid out for Washington 129 00:06:06,992 --> 00:06:10,870 the history of what would be the United States of America. 130 00:06:10,871 --> 00:06:12,705 After this meeting, 131 00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:15,040 Washington was-was invigorated. 132 00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:16,709 He was inspired. 133 00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:20,379 And he realized this is divine fate, 134 00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:22,756 for the United States to exist. 135 00:06:22,757 --> 00:06:25,885 But he first had to defeat the British, which he did. 136 00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:29,305 Could George Washington really have had 137 00:06:29,306 --> 00:06:32,725 an otherworldly visitation at Valley Forge? 138 00:06:32,726 --> 00:06:36,186 If so, he isn't the only Founding Father 139 00:06:36,187 --> 00:06:38,815 associated with an alien encounter. 140 00:06:39,858 --> 00:06:41,734 In 1801, 141 00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:43,235 Thomas Jefferson filed 142 00:06:43,236 --> 00:06:45,905 one of the country's first official UFO reports 143 00:06:45,906 --> 00:06:48,741 after astronomer William Dunbar told him 144 00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:50,743 about an unexplained aerial sighting 145 00:06:50,744 --> 00:06:53,120 at Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 146 00:06:53,121 --> 00:06:54,913 In his report, 147 00:06:54,914 --> 00:06:58,083 Jefferson wrote of a fast-moving, luminous object 148 00:06:58,084 --> 00:07:00,419 about 70 to 80 feet long 149 00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:04,923 that flew by at about 200 yards above the ground. 150 00:07:04,924 --> 00:07:07,926 After it disappeared over the horizon, 151 00:07:07,927 --> 00:07:12,389 the witnesses heard a tremendous impact in a nearby forest. 152 00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:14,350 Upon investigating, 153 00:07:14,351 --> 00:07:15,893 they found a crash site 154 00:07:15,894 --> 00:07:18,812 where everything had been burned and scorched. 155 00:07:18,813 --> 00:07:22,149 Thomas Jefferson, when he was vice president, 156 00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:24,610 wrote up an official report 157 00:07:24,611 --> 00:07:28,447 of a UFO sighting that had happened in Baton Rouge. 158 00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:32,951 He wrote it up for the American Philosophical Association. 159 00:07:32,952 --> 00:07:35,621 So that, arguably, is the first case 160 00:07:35,622 --> 00:07:37,831 where someone who would go on to be president 161 00:07:37,832 --> 00:07:41,085 made an official UFO report. 162 00:07:41,086 --> 00:07:44,296 The American Philosophical Society 163 00:07:44,297 --> 00:07:46,590 was founded by Benjamin Franklin, 164 00:07:46,591 --> 00:07:48,425 who, like Thomas Jefferson, 165 00:07:48,426 --> 00:07:50,260 openly expressed his belief 166 00:07:50,261 --> 00:07:54,390 in the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. 167 00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:56,558 The Founding Fathers' worldview 168 00:07:56,559 --> 00:07:59,978 accommodated the idea that there would be people in other worlds. 169 00:07:59,979 --> 00:08:01,939 And that was principled upon this idea 170 00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:06,402 that you cannot limit God's creativity 171 00:08:06,403 --> 00:08:09,321 just to the world that you observe. 172 00:08:09,322 --> 00:08:10,781 They literally had a vision 173 00:08:10,782 --> 00:08:13,283 of not just the world where we live 174 00:08:13,284 --> 00:08:14,785 but the world beyond it. 175 00:08:14,786 --> 00:08:17,788 And that-that world beyond theirs, 176 00:08:17,789 --> 00:08:21,209 um, was populated by extraterrestrials. 177 00:08:22,961 --> 00:08:25,462 Could the Founding Fathers have been aware 178 00:08:25,463 --> 00:08:28,340 of an otherworldly presence that was helping to ensure 179 00:08:28,341 --> 00:08:31,635 the success of the American experiment?
