Hey, guys, and welcome to my
inaugural episode of WTBD,
What's the Big Deal.
Today's topic is UFO disclosure.
Now, a lot of us are
fans of science fiction
but what if it weren't fiction?
And actually, belief in
UFOs is a lot more common
than you might think.
In fact, when I asked you guys
whether you believed in life
in outer space, about
half of you said yes,
saying that the
universe is so huge,
it's hard to imagine
that there isn't.
But have they actually
made contact with us?
Well, the consensus on that
was a little bit less clear.
To find out more though, I
went to UFO CON in San Jose.
This was a two-day conference
of researchers, activists,
and experiencers who insist
that alien life not only exists
but has made frequent
contact with us.
And almost all the attendees
had a first-person experience
to share-- some
describing actual crafts.
Where a ship materialized
and appeared in front of us.
It was a direct,
communicated contact.
And what did the ship look like?
The ship was a bright,
orange, glowing orb.
And others, visitations
by spooky figures,
not unlikes those grayliens
that we know from pop culture.
One was about four feet tall.
One was about three, three
and a half feet tall.
The big one had his hand on
the shoulder of the little one.
They looked at me.
I looked at them, and the
next thing I was doing
was I was running.
But it turns out that
UFO CON is a lot more
than just a support
group for experiencers.
For others, like the
historian Douglas Dietrich,
evidence of UFOs are just one of
many events willfully withheld
from the public.
If people were to get the
disclosure that he demanding,
if that were ever to be
honestly and fully given,
what would shock
the American public
would be the fact
that the situation
is so much more
complicated than what
Americans like to perceive it.
The "he" that he's referring
to is Stephen Bassett
who is a political activist
and registered lobbyist
working on the disclosure issue.
The Disclosure Event, as
is defined in the advocacy
movement, is an event.
It's not a process.
It's not small "d".
It's capital "D" Disclosure.
And that is when the
world's heads of state
go in front of their
people and acknowledge
that there is a non-human
intelligence presence here.
And back in April, Bassett
organize the citizens hearing
on disclosure in DC where
dozens of witnesses,
among them former military
or agency workers,
gave testimony on
the subject of UFOs.
The first call is to report
unidentified, lighted objects
flying above the facility.
Minutes later, the FSC
phoned again and reported,
in a very agitated
state, that there
was a large, oval-shaped object
hovering above the front gate.
Presiding over the event were
six former members of Congress
and also attending
was Paul Hellyer,
former Canadian
Defense Minister who
has publicly stated
his belief in ETs.
But has anyone currently in
office expressed support?
Publicly?
No.
Even privately, no.
There have been a few in
the past but very rare,
and almost none have
engaged the issue.
But a few have.
Despite this,
Bassett is optimistic
that now is the
right time to engage
the government and the
public on the issue of
whether or not there's
life outside of Earth.
You need to hold
hearings on this.
If those hearings were
held, the truth embargo
will be over in 60 days or less.
It definitely sounds
like many of you
guys are willing to
entertain the issue,
but do you think that
governments should or need
to address the question of alien
life or life outside of Earth?
Let me know what you think
on Twitter at @AnnieGaus
or on Facebook-- also at Annie
Gaus-- where you can also
send me any of your story
ideas, feedback about the show.
More to come, along with,
eventually, a new set.
So thanks for tuning in
and I hope to see you soon.
Bye.
