Incredible accounts
of U.S. presidents

receiving visitors
from beyond Earth.

President Eisenhower
and Richard Nixon

are contacted by an E.T.

Stories of alien ambassadors

reaching out to
the British Royal Family.

This is the top royal aide

who's been introduced

to a mysterious individual
from another planet.

And shocking claims

that Earth belongs
to a galactic federation.

I found the spreadsheet.

It was actually
titled in the column

"Non-terrestrial Officers."

Could there be
certain people on Earth

who not only have knowledge
of extraterrestrial visitors

but are even
in contact with them?

When it becomes
accepted knowledge that,

not only are we not alone today
but we never have been alone,

that'll be the most
profound conclusion

in the history of humanity.

There is a doorway

in the universe.

Beyond it is
the promise of truth.

It demands
we question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is
right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

In the first month
of the new year,

it is announced that
a new spending bill

will require
the U.S. Defense Department

to review UFO sightings
dating to 1945.

Another major headline
involves controversial claims

by a U.S. congressman
of a huge UFO coverup,

and yet another
claims that a UFO

was shot down
by the Russian military.

In today's world, UFO reports

are no longer a fringe curiosity

but part of
the daily news cycle.

Finally, in the 21st century,

you got the whole world curious.

Everybody's looking
for real UFOs.

Headlines in
every newspaper, everywhere.

Every television,

every radio,

every cell phone.

Things like,
"NASA Announces Unidentified

Aerial Phenomena Study."

The big headline
in The New York Times

having to do with UFOs doing
remarkable demonstrations

in front of military pilots.

It's suddenly respectable
for these topics

to be discussed in the open.

The level of official interest,

the level of scientific interest

and media interest
is to the point

where now we can
look at evidence

that's been sitting
around for decades

that hasn't been scrutinized.

And finally,
it's getting some scrutiny.

It's getting attention.

That is a sea change.

And because
of the media interest,

the topic became
acceptable for Congress.

There's political cover
for them to go ahead

and ask questions.

In May 2022,

there was an unprecedented
congressional hearing

from one of the subcommittees

of the House
Intelligence Committee...

a lot of it in public...

and some absolutely

fascinating information
was disclosed.

I mean, effectively, this was

an admission
that the phenomenon was real.

We know that our service
members have encountered

unidentified aerial phenomena,

and because UAPs pose
potential flight safety

and general security risk,
we are committed

to a focused effort
to determine their origins.

Here was Congress paying
serious attention to it,

that these objects
are undoubtedly real,

they're not, uh, figments
of the imagination,

they're not hoaxes.

There are objects up there
that are legitimate mysteries.

Considering the recent
explosion of UFO reports,

is it possible that there is,

in fact, an extraterrestrial
presence on Earth?

And if so,
have there been encounters

not only with strange
objects in the sky

but also with alien entities?

Now we're kind of saying,

well, UFOs are real,
these craft are real.

The next logical question is:

Have people engaged entities,

intelligences that
operate these craft,

whether it be biological
or artificial intelligence,

or some sort of marriage
between the two?

Dr. Travis Taylor,

who was hired
as the chief scientist

for the U.S. government's
UAP Task Force in 2019,

says that in his experience,

while UFO sightings
are no longer scoffed at,

the same cannot be said
for reports

of much closer encounters.

If an F-18 pilot came to you

and said, "We chased"

"a UAP in the sky
with our fighter plane

and couldn't catch it,"

you're gonna listen to that guy.

But if the same
fighter pilot came and said,

"I was flying along in my F-18,

"and a UAP came down
and abducted me

"from my cockpit, took me off,

"did something to me
and brought me back

"and put me right back
in my cockpit

as though I'd never been gone,"

you would think he's crazy. Why?

Why is that any more fantastic

than there being something
we can't explain what it is,

that we can't catch with
a modern-day fighter plane?

I think each are
equally fantastic

and should
at least be considered.

One of the first people
to suggest

that reports of close encounters
with extraterrestrials

should be taken seriously

was the man who held
Travis Taylor's position

more than 60 years prior:

astrophysicist J. Allen Hynek.

In 1952, Hynek was
the scientific consultant

for Project Blue Book,

the U.S. government's
first public investigation

into the UFO phenomenon.

According to
J. Allen Hynek's son Paul,

one of the cases
his father found

most compelling
involved an encounter

with alien entities.

My father didn't talk that much

about individual cases,

but there were some cases
that really stood out to him.

One was the case
of Lonnie Zamora

in 1964 in New Mexico.

Lonnie Zamora was a policeman,

and he saw some kind of
craft in the sky land.

It was an egg-shaped craft.

He saw some humanoids come out,

a fairly brief encounter,
and they took off.

Lonnie Zamora had not
been active in UFOs

or flying saucers before that.

My father thought
he was very credible.

And it was the case

that was maybe the straw
that broke the camel's back

on my father
being more comfortable

talking publicly about
abduction cases and humanoids.

Of the 12,618 sightings

reported to Project Blue Book,

701 were left unexplained,

including the case of
policeman Lonnie Zamora.

Yet, despite the hundreds
of unsolved close encounters,

the government shut down
Project Blue Book in 1969.

But not before J. Allen Hynek

made arguably
his most famous contribution

to the UFO phenomenon.

My father, being a scientist,

decided that UFOs needed to have
a classification system.

So, he came up
with a close encounters

of the first,
second and third kind.

A close encounter
of the first kind

is a visual sighting
within 500 feet or so.

A close encounter
of the second kind

is where there is
some kind of physical evidence:

a sunburned face,

broken tree branches,
radar sighting, etcetera.

And a close encounter
of the third kind

is where you actually see
some type of creature.

Following the demise
of Project Blue Book,

claims of even more
bizarre alien encounters

started being reported
across the globe,

and two more categories

of close encounters
were identified.

A close encounter of
the fourth kind indicates

an alien abduction.

And a close encounter
of the fifth kind

involves communication
and interaction

with an alien entity.

Close encounters
of the fifth kind

are essentially
human interactions

with extraterrestrials.

It's not just seeing.

It's being a participant
in an event.

There is often, for example,
direct communication,

either verbal or telepathic.

And this is
particularly interesting,

because what we get is not just
description and perceptions

but often information,

messages are sometimes given

in this two-way
interactive communication.

And that's fascinating
because it gives us

perhaps our best insight

into extraterrestrial
motivation.

Accounts of close encounters
of the fifth kind

are often regarded as
too sensational to be true.

But according to
ancient astronaut theorists,

such face-to-face interactions
with extraterrestrials

can be found
throughout recorded history.

Throughout the history
of humankind,

cultures from
all continents of the world

described someone
descending from the sky

and imparting knowledge.

And instead of attributing
these stories to pure fantasy,

the ancient astronaut
theory proposes

that contact between
physical extraterrestrials

and our human ancestors

happened face-to-face.

Could it be that the designation

"close encounters
of the fifth kind"

is not merely terminology

for potential alien encounters
in the distant future

but describes interactions
that have been

happening on Earth
for thousands of years?

Perhaps clues can be
found by examining

claims of such encounters
within the highest levels

of the United States government.

At 5:05 AM,

one of a series of nuclear tests

under the umbrella code-named
Upshot-Knothole is set off.

Within seconds of the blast,

a disc-shaped object is seen
rapidly descending from the sky

headed south toward Las Vegas,

then disappearing
into the mountains.

Just two days after this event,

government officials secretly
gather a team of scientists

for a curious assignment.

They were to
investigate the crash

of an unidentified flying object

on the outskirts
of Kingman, Arizona,

a city 175 miles south
of the nuclear test site.

There were 40 engineers
that boarded a bus,

and they took a long,
three-and-a-half-hour ride

from Phoenix to Kingman.

When they got there,
it was nighttime.

There were MPs
on all corners of the craft.

It's about a 40-foot diameter
disc shaped craft

that was perfectly intact.

There wasn't a scratch on it.

There were four beings
associated with this craft,

and they shipped it
to Groom Lake.

Groom Lake is
the Area 51 region in Nevada.

When Area 51
was just bare bones,

they took the craft
and the aliens

out to that location
in the middle

of the Nevada desert,
because it was so remote.

And around that,
they built Area 51.

Hidden within
a ring of mountains

deep in the Nevada desert,

Area 51 is a top secret
military installation

that has long been rumored

to hold evidence
of alien technology.

And there are even stories

that a special facility
at Area 51

once held a survivor

of the 1953 Kingman UFO crash.

An alien entity known as J-Rod.

J-Rod is an alien
who allegedly worked

at Area 51
over a period of years.

And it was
J-Rod's mission or duty

to help reverse engineer
technology

that was apparently from

the 1953 Kingman UFO crash.

J-Rod was one of
the crash survivors

and worked directly
with our own government.

Captain Bill Uhouse,
a former Navy pilot

who later worked
for the U.S. Air Force

performing experimental testing
on aircraft,

was assigned to Area 51
in the mid-1960s,

and he claims that
he not only studied the craft

that allegedly crashed
in Kingman, Arizona,

but also had direct contact
with J-Rod.

We had a long period of
introduction into meeting,

you know, an alien.

And I-I called him J-Rod.

That's the name
that the linguists gave him.

And he talked, he would talk,

but he'd sound just like...

If you spoke,
he'd sound like you.

You know, he's, like
one of these, ah, a parrot.

But he'd try and
answer your question, you know?

Basically, it was
only engineering advice

or science advice.

There's also
another whistleblower

by the name of Dan Burisch.

And Dan Burisch
said that he was hired

as a microbiologist
to basically care for J-Rod,

ensuring that
he remained healthy.

And, uh, this went on
for years and years and years.

According to Dan Burisch
and Bill Uhouse,

J-Rod was housed

in a special underground chamber
at Area 51.

And there have been
numerous other accounts

of extraterrestrials
working with

the United States government.

There's a lot of stories

that we worked with
the aliens at Area 51.

Or, uh, some say,
at a base nearby,

kind of in the desert out there.

And we've been working with them

in underground labs,

and they have been
sharing information

for us to enhance
our technologies.

Is it possible that
the United States government

has met with, and worked with,

entities like J-Rod
and other alien visitors

since at least the 1950s?

According to UFO researchers,

there is evidence
that extraterrestrials

have not only been held
at secret military bases

but have even met face-to-face
with the Commander in Chief

inside the walls
of the Pentagon.

One of the most
detailed accounts

of a presidential
close encounter

is the story of
an otherworldly visitor

named Valiant Thor.

The story of Valiant Thor

comes from a gentleman
by the name of Frank Stranges,

who's a chaplain,

and apparently held
a top secret clearance.

As the story goes,

in 1957,

a UFO landed in Virginia

very close to Washington, D.C.

Police officers
were called to the scene,

and out stepped
a human-looking gentleman

who wanted to visit
with then President Eisenhower.

He was taken directly
to the Pentagon

and was able
to arrange a meeting

with President Eisenhower.

In this meeting,
he basically stated

that he was very much concerned

about our use
of nuclear weapons.

Just as another country
would post an ambassador

to the United States,
the theory was that Valiant Thor

was the ambassador
from the extraterrestrials.

And he was,
from time to time, advising

President Eisenhower
and the U.S. government

on policy issues.

This idea that an actual,

physical,
extraterrestrial visitor

could potentially be influencing

the course of the world

is a possibility.

I am sure
there's envoys out there

that do the same thing,

not just on a planet

but in entire planetary systems.

Could it be
that the United States

has had diplomatic relations
with otherworldly beings?

And if so,
do they continue even today?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

and suggest there is evidence
that extraterrestrials

have also attempted
to make contact

with the British monarchy.

Across the United Kingdom,

people gather
to pay their respects

to Queen Elizabeth's
husband Prince Philip,

the Duke of Edinburgh,

who passed away
at the age of 99.

In the months after his death,
reports begin to surface

that Prince Philip
spent more than half his life

investigating claims
of alien close encounters.

In the process,
he allegedly amassed

a trove of secret evidence

that's been coined
the "Royal X-Files,"

and that has never been
viewed by the public.

Prince Philip had
a lifelong fascination...

And I would even
say more than fascination.

I would say
a serious interest in UFOs.

He read all the books.

He was actually secretly

going to the media and saying,

"Hey, the Americans are
writing these great books.

You guys need
to serialize these."

And he-he convinced them
to do that.

This was not generally
known, of course,

because it would have caused
something of a-a scandal.

The irony being that
Ministry of Defence policy

was to play down
the subject of UFOs,

but here were our royal bosses,
absolutely fascinated by it.

In order to escape
public ridicule

and provide cover
for the royal family,

Prince Philip
enlisted the service

of the former Commander
of the Royal Air Force,

Sir Peter Horsley,
to secretly investigate

reported sightings
and encounters.

Prince Philip charged
Sir Peter Horsley,

to contact the MOD,
the Ministry of Defence,

and provide firsthand reports

of UFO encounters,
UAP encounters.

And not only that,
his other assistant

brought in firsthand witnesses

to talk face-to-face

with Prince Philip about UFOs.

In his autobiography titled

Sounds from Another Room,

Sir Peter Horsley recounts
meeting a bizarre individual

during his investigations

on behalf of
the Prince of Edinburgh.

In this memoir, he talks about

meeting an individual
by the name of Mr. Janus.

He met face-to-face
with this gentleman,

who was entirely human-looking,

but it became very clear
to him from the beginning

that this was not
a normal person.

For one thing,
he seemed to be able

to read
Sir Peter Horsley's mind.

He apparently had
telepathic abilities.

And not only that, he began
to talk about subjects

such as UFOs,

space travel, even time travel.

And I think
the thing that impressed

Sir Peter Horsley most

was that this individual,
Mr. Janus,

knew all of
Britain's nuclear secrets.

He knew all about
where materials were being kept

and all the activity
that was going on.

He seemed to know all of it.

Mr. Janus says,
"Well, I-I need to have

a meeting with Prince Philip."

And Horsley, he's like, "Well,

you don't just walk in and
have a meeting with the prince."

Horsley was a very
sophisticated, intelligent man.

But Horsley walked out
of that room convinced...

convinced that this was
an extraterrestrial.

And he apparently talked about

some sort of galactic council,

and there being interest
in planet Earth,

but there was a genuine prospect
of nuclear war,

and apparently that was
of concern to Mr. Janus.

Much like
Peter Horsley's account

of his meeting with Mr. Janus,

Frank Stranges claimed that
Valiant Thor came to Earth

to warn President Eisenhower
about the dangers

of nuclear proliferation.

Many researchers also believe

that the reported 1953 UFO crash

in Kingman, Arizona,
was caused by a nuclear test.

And, perhaps not coincidentally,

the number of
modern-day UFO sightings

increased exponentially
after World War II.

In the late 1940s,

1947, in particular,

it was absolutely undeniable
that something was going on.

This is when we started
first exploding nuclear bombs,

and in 1947, there
was a huge super-wave

of UFO sightings

which swept across
the United States and the world.

And this was
not one or two sightings.

This was hundreds upon hundreds.

You've got claim
after claim of people

from the 1950s onward,

some of them say, "I met
these human-looking beings, uh",

"who said they were
from another planet,

"and they-they have
said to us, uh,

"'Your nuclear technology
is dangerous.

Uh, you-you need to be
more peaceful.'"

There have also been
a high number

of UFO sightings at
nuclear weapons facilities,

including the Hanford nuclear
site in Washington state,

Vandenberg Air Force Base
in California,

Kapustin Yar in Russia,

and the Malmstrom nuclear
missile facility in Montana.

There's tremendous amount of
conflict here on planet Earth,

and that would be one reason
why the extraterrestrials

would want to contact

leaders from around the world
to try to stop

some terrible nuclear war
from happening.

Could it be that
extraterrestrials

who have been monitoring Earth

for thousands of years
have approached world leaders

to deter them from
nuclear proliferation?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,

and they contend

that such encounters
of the fifth kind

don't just happen
to prominent political figures.

They can happen to people
from all walks of life,

who are then
often compelled to share

such warnings with the world.

Desert Center, California.

November 20, 1952.

Photographer and amateur
astronomer George Adamski

is hiking with friends

along the rocky sands
of the Colorado desert

when he sees a large
saucer-shaped craft in the sky.

According to Adamski,

a voice from the spaceship
speaks to him,

telling him to
walk off the main road.

Allegedly, uh, the four of them

saw a craft, uh, land

farther out in the desert.

George Adamski, by himself,

then walked over this hill
and to the craft,

where he claimed he met
with an extraterrestrial.

That extraterrestrial
invited, uh, Adamski

ultimately to go on
one of the craft at some point.

He claimed they took him
in a spaceship

out into space
and toured other planets,

and along the way,
he is educated or schooled

by a thousand-year-old being

he refers to as "the master."

He believed that they were

enlightened, advanced beings

who were keeping an eye
on our development

and were concerned about some of

the turns that
the human journey had taken:

pollution of the environment,

development of nuclear weapons.

And so Adamski then went on

to spread his message
around the world

because he felt that
this was a mission for him.

Adamski wrote
a number of books about this,

and his photos are
still famous photos

that he took of
cylindrical cigar-shaped ships

and of flying saucers.

He actually traveled
around the world

as a special ambassador.

He even met with
the Queen of Holland

and other world leaders.

He was greeted often as

some kind of ambassador
from the extraterrestrials.

Most of these contactees
will say

they're lectured to
in some fashion

about technology and
their place in the universe.

It's a message
that they're given

to take to other people.

Do extraterrestrials
select certain people

to deliver information
to humanity?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

and suggest there may even be
physical evidence to prove it.

Ulster County, New York.

December 26, 1985.

Best-selling author
Whitley Strieber

is celebrating Christmas
with his wife and young son

at their cabin.

In the middle of the night,

he is awoken
by a disturbing feeling.

I felt that there was
something around me.

In other words,
there was movement

that shouldn't have been there.

And I opened my eyes,

and I saw these big, black eyes
staring at me.

And I had no idea where I was.

It was a little round room.

And I began to scream.

This automatic voice
turned on, saying,

"What can we do to help you
stop screaming?"

There were these other figures,

dark blue little figures
darting around,

and they assaulted me,
basically.

It was not easy.

It was a very
terrifying experience.

To process the traumatic event,

Whitley wrote about
his close encounter,

which became the basis of his
best-selling memoir Communion.

He hoped the experience
was behind him.

But in May of 1989,

Whitley had another strange
nocturnal encounter.

I'm on my side,
on my right side,

and there's a hand pressing
down on my left temple,

pressing it into the pillow
in like waves, like this.

And I can't struggle.
I can't move a muscle.

I can't see anything.

I am completely immobilized.

After a few seconds, that ends.

And I think, "Was it a dream?"

Then, the next day or the day
after, my ear started hurting.

I reach up and I feel
this bump here on my ear.

And I thought,
"Oh, my God, it's an implant."

Ooh, that looks like
a little white thing.

There was
an attempt to remove it.

It failed because
the implant went from here

right down into here on its own.

And the doctor pulled out.

Two days later,
it went from my ear lobe

back up to where it is
to this day.

Could extraterrestrials
have really implanted

some kind of device inside
Whitley Strieber's ear?

And if so, why?

According to Whitley,
whatever the implant is,

it has had
a profound effect on him.

In 2015,

I noticed a slit
opened up in my right eye,

and you could see words
racing through it.

But they were like someone was
typing very quickly and racing.

And it had something
to do with my writing,

because, at the same time,

my ability to do research

changed dramatically
and weirdly.

I found that if I just thought
about something I needed,

no matter how obscure,

one way or another,
it would come to me.

Since receiving
the alleged implant,

Strieber claims to have
had regular interaction

with otherworldly beings.

The visitors are
a part of my life now,

very much so.

Uh, I don't think

I would be comfortable working

without knowing
that there was...

using the implant,
that there was a connection.

Now, what do they want from us?

That is a very big
unanswered question.

Humans have been
interacting with

these beings,
wherever they're from,

for eons
throughout human history.

I think that,
uh, this intelligence,

instead of revealing itself
on a global scale,

they've been engaging
with people one-on-one.

Maybe they put us on the path
where we are now.

Don't know.

They seem to have
an ongoing interest in us.

They take direct involvement

with certain bloodlines
and certain people.

And the dramatic transformations

that have taken place
after people

have had these claimed contacts
is very real.

If close encounters
of the fifth kind

are, in fact, taking place,

are alien entities
making contact for our benefit

or for theirs?

According to
ancient astronaut theorists,

both could be true.

Because they say
there is evidence

that Earth is being visited

by multiple alien species.

Shortly after 8:00 a.m.,

the National
High Tech Crime Unit

arrives at the home

of 36-year-old Scottish
computer engineer Gary McKinnon.

They are there
to arrest him on behalf

of the United States
Justice Department

for hacking into
top secret computers

at NASA and the Pentagon.

McKinnon not only admits
to the crime

but claims he uncovered evidence
that the U.S. government

was working with
extraterrestrial beings.

I was obsessed with UFOs.

I was dying to find out
the information.

The Internet was a real enabler

for finding out information, um,

by going to places
you shouldn't be in,

um, because they were so open.

There were a lot of text files

that had lists of
places, installations,

military bases, Air Force bases,
Navy sites, NASA sites.

So, there was
a lot to go through.

But I did find
a gold mine of information.

According to McKinnon,

he unearthed a secret
U.S. military program

that existed entirely in space.

- I found the spreadsheet.
- It was actually titled

in the column,
"Non-terrestrial Officers."

As well as officers' names,
it had ship names.

None of these were
ocean-going ships.

It was astounding.

They're not Navy.
They're not in the Army.

And not even Air Force.

So, to me, I was thinking

there must be
an off-planet space force,

or space fleet, at least.

After McKinnon's arrest,

he was told the U.S. government

intended to sentence him
to 70 years in prison.

At the time, I thought

six months community service

was all you'd do for a
Computer Misuse Act in Britain.

We fought extradition
for ten years,

and we actually won the case.

But, unfortunately, today,

the arrest warrant
is still live,

and I'm still on
the Interpol Red list,

so I can't travel.

Could it be

that Gary McKinnon's account
of what he saw

when he hacked into computers

at the Pentagon
and NASA is genuine?

Is the U.S. government
engaged in secret operations

beyond Earth?

I think Gary McKinnon
is truthful

in that he did see files
on secret space programs

and UFO-related material.

Whether that information
was legit

or was just sitting there
somewhere, we can't say.

But there's no question
that he did

what he claimed to have done.

While there are
many who question

the authenticity of
Gary McKinnon's account,

other more notable figures

have since come forward
with similar claims.

In 2013, former Canadian
Minister of National Defence

Paul Hellyer declared that
the United States government

and other governments
around the world,

are working with organized
groups of extraterrestrials.

Why do you say
that UFOs are as real

as the airplanes
flying over our heads?

Well, because
I know that they are.

And they've been visiting this
planet for thousands of years.

And there is what is
called a federation

of these people,
and they have rules.

Paul Hellyer was a former
Deputy Prime Minister of Canada

and a former
Minister of Defence of Canada.

He was able to talk to
a lot of important people

within the U.S.
and Canadian system,

and it was his opinion,

based on the sources
that he had,

that there are many groups
that are here visiting us.

Paul Hellyer is not
the only government official

to come forward
with alleged knowledge

of a federation of
extraterrestrial races.

Recently the former Israeli
chief of space security,

Haim Eshed,
came out and said that

there is a galactic federation,

and that indeed
many world leaders

know of and are in talks with

delegates of
the galactic federation.

I don't know
what to make of that claim.

But when you have enough
of them, a pattern emerges,

and it starts to take on
a bit more gravitas

in functioning
as bona fide evidence.

Dr. Haim Eshed claimed

that the extraterrestrials
in this galactic federation

were in contact

with governments
around the world.

It's a fascinating idea

and one that may well be true.

Should the sensational claims
made by Paul Hellyer

and Haim Eshed be believed?

That close encounters of
the fifth kind are occurring

at the highest levels
of government around the world

and with entire factions
of extraterrestrial beings.

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

and argue that recent
revelations from world leaders

may be preparing mankind
for a groundbreaking event:

full disclosure.

In today's world,

where cell phones are equipped

with high-definition cameras

and the Internet
makes it possible

to share videos in an instant,

average citizens have become
frontline reporters

on the UFO phenomenon.

New images and accounts
of unidentified phenomena

are posted online
nearly every day,

and UFO researchers

say the proof
that extraterrestrials

are visiting Earth
is right before our eyes.

But they also suggest the
evidence that's been accumulated

by the public
pales in comparison

to what
the United States government

has had in its possession
for decades.

Technology has changed
so much over the past 30,

40 years that now it's possible

for regular Joe citizens to be
part of this investigation.

The flip side of that
is our military

has incredible sensors that
watch everything that happens

on and around the Earth.

There's a gigantic storehouse
of information somewhere

that the public has
never been allowed to see.

World leaders and
the governments think

that we, the people,
cannot handle the truth.

But in 2017,
when The New York Times

talked about the idea
that the U.S. government

actually is investigating
UAPs and UFOs,

you know, that story came,

and people went about
their daily lives. Why?

Just because you understand

that you're not alone
in the universe

does not change the fact
that you have to go to work,

you have to put food
on the table.

And the idea to be afraid
of extraterrestrials...

There's nothing
we can do anyway,

so why be afraid?

We should not be afraid

because they would have
eliminated us

hundreds of years ago,

before we invented
nuclear weapons.

While there has been
much speculation

as to whether there are people
within the U.S. government

covering up the truth
about Earth's interactions

with alien visitors,

some researchers
have proposed that

there may be another authority
controlling the narrative.

It isn't humans
that are holding it back.

It's the extraterrestrial
biological entities

who said humans are not ready

for the introduction yet.

And that's what Haim Eshed said,

even in television interviews.

They have said,

"Keep the information down

"until we decide

"that you are
technologically advanced enough

to be introduced to us."

But many UFO researchers believe

that the truth is becoming
harder to hide,

and the day may be
rapidly approaching

when the public
will be introduced

to a profound new reality.

These public hearings

mark a U-turn
in U.S. government policy.

We've had decades of
debunking and denying

and playing
the whole thing down,

and now it's as if
they're putting it out there

in front of us all.

And one wonders,

are they preparing us
for something?

Are they laying the groundwork

for some big reveal
or some huge global event?

It is a one day at a time
to walk towards

what ultimately will be
complete disclosure.

Are we on the verge
of discovering

that close encounters
of the fifth kind

are not hypothetical

but have already taken place?

Will we soon learn,
once and for all,

that we are not alone?

Perhaps one day soon,
the truth will be revealed,

not through a government agency

but by the extraterrestrials
themselves.
