BU’s Joshua Semeter on a former Pentagon employee’s eye-popping claims
It’s enough to make a conspiracy theorist’s head explode: an alleged deep-state cover-up of retrieved extraterrestrial craft—and corpses of their pilots. The allegation comes not from an outside crank, but a respected former intelligence officer who had occasion to work with the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), charged with identifying unidentified objects near military assets. And some of the usual media suspects (the Washington Post, Politico) passed on the initial story, which found a home instead on the science and defense site The Debrief.
Yet Vox and a New York Times podcast have since covered the claims of whistleblower David Grusch, who admits he hasn’t seen the supposedly in-hand detritus of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), the official rechristening of UFOs. Nor does he have any firsthand evidence of them; he says he is repeating what other, as-yet-unnamed, people told him. Still, he was willing to give about 11 hours of classified testimony to congressional investigators.
“Nobody at the level of a David Grusch, who has been to Congress, has ever talked about” the often-alleged ET cover-up by the feds, Leslie Kean, one of the Debrief cowriters, told Times podcaster Ezra Klein. Grusch’s defenders believe that his holding back more details is to be expected, Vox reports, as such information “would be classified, so it would be illegal to release specifics. They A former Canadian defence minister, who has accused world powers of concealing the presence of aliens on earth, is calling on the government to release what he believes is hidden information about UFOs. Paul Hellyer, who served as Canada’s defence minister in the Sixties, was among speakers who urged the government to publicly disclose any such documents, during an event at the University of Calgary on Saturday. Delivering the keynote speech during the Disclosure Canada Tour at the institution, Mr Hellyer told a strong crowd that “much of the media won’t touch it [the documents]”, CTV Calgary reported. He continued: “So you just have to keep working away and hope that someday you get a critical mass, and they will say, in one way or another, 'Mr. President or Mr. Prime Minister we want the truth and we want it now because it affects our lives.'” Over the course of the tour, Mr Hellyer and other speakers appeared in Montreal. Toronot, Calgary and Vancouver in events organised by a group known as Modern Knowledge. On its website, the group describes itself as a “grassroots platform that assists in creating awareness about important and though provoking subject matter that is not normally discussed in the mainstream." It goes on to explain that the group uses a blend of “ancient wisdom” and “modern scientific knowledge” to explain and discuss “cutting edge, and sometimes controversial information.” Mr Hellyer, 91, first spoke out about his belief that governments are concealing an alien presence back in , when he said that UFOs are as prevalent as airplanes in our skies.Former Canadian defence secretary Paul Hellyer calls on governments to reveal UFO information
