As a long-time subscriber to Gaia TV, I’ve enjoyed watching episodes of Cosmic Disclosure, Ancient Aliens, Open Minds interviews with Regina Meredith, Dr. Steven Greer, and, lest we forget, George Noory’s Beyond Belief. I’ve taken it all with a grain of salt, but the idea that our planet is regularly visited by extraterrestrials is old news to me. Yet, the culture of ridicule runs so deeply in the US, I’ve only engaged in hushed discussions with “safe” people about subjects like UFO’s and other worldly visitations. There’s been talk of “slow disclosure” for the past couple of years. The Feds have sparingly released old UFO documents. But, the sense of stonewalling by the US government hasn’t changed, until now.

The National Geographic channel on Disney+ six-part series entitled UFO: Investigating The Unknown featuring journalist investigator Leslie Kean blew me away. It’s a highly credible compilation of historical information of UFO events since the 1940’s. Though Gaia interviews speak of Dr. J. Allen Hynek and his work on Project Blue and beyond, the National Geographic series has access to television footage interviews to see Hynek in action.

The major UFO events in Stephenville, Texas in 2008; the 1967 Malmstrom, Montana nuclear base disruption; and the 1997 Phoenix Lights sightings are covered in detail. The US policy of whitewashing, ridicule, and secrecy becomes obvious. Especially revealing are the commanders at Malmstrom who were forced to sign non-disclosure agreements and knew their careers would be over if they spoke to anyone about the incident. They waited 40 years to break their silence.

But times are changing. The series also features prominent government disclosure advocates like Leon Panetta, Senator Harry Reid, and Senator Kristen Gillibrand who believe the American public can handle the revelations without running wild in the streets with fear. After all, this is now a nation of Trekkies and Star Wars fanatics.

This week got even more real with Congressional hearings with Ryan Graves, executive director of Americans for Safe Aerospace, retired Air Force Maj. David Grusch and retired Navy Cmdr. David Fravor testifying before the subcommittee on UFO’s. When NPR (National Public Radio) runs a story, you know it has the powers-that-be stamp of approval.

Disclosure is definitely happening. The rationale seems to be safety for aircraft that has to deal with UAPs (Unknown Anomalous Phenomena). Personally, I’m skeptical that it’s a ruse for furthering the military industrial complex. Hopefully, this isn’t another excuse for war, but, rather a path to peaceful co-existence with highly intelligent civilizations that have been watching human development since the dawn of man.
