But one part did catch the attention of people who’ve never followed this topic before: a claim that George Bush Sr. knew about aliens.
And today a lot of news outlets have jumped on it.
According to the film, the late president told a federal official that aliens made contact with humans at a secret New Mexico air base in 1964. The claim comes from Eric Davis — an astrophysicist and former scientific advisor to the now-defunct Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program… Davis says Bush personally confirmed the story to him in a private conversation.
Here’s what Davis says Bush told him: Three spacecraft were seen approaching the base … One of them landed. A non-human entity emerged and had a face-to-face meeting with military and CIA officials.
The entity then returned to the craft and departed.
And here’s the frustrating part: when Davis pressed Bush Sr. for more details, he was told he “did not have the need to know.”
Even a former president gets the classic UFO brick wall.
Presidents and UFOs have always had some weird flirtation with the topic. Bill Clinton, Obama, and George W. Bush all joked — usually on late-night shows — that they “know more than we do” but aren’t going to spill anything. It’s always tongue-in-cheek, but always there. Jimmy Carter even say he saw a UFO and supposedly got a phone call never to talk about it again. So we are told..
And of course, we can’t forget the long-standing rumors about Dwight Eisenhower allegedly meeting with aliens and giving away some of our sovereignty in exchange for “experiments.”
I guess those anal probes are the price we pay for liking Ike.
So that’s the big takeaway from Age of Disclosure. It’s a headline-grabber for newcomers, even though many longtime UFO folks have heard pieces of this story before.
For everyone just joining the UFO world — welcome aboard the craft. We don’t know much, but we sure know the rumors and the innuendo.
