Will Obama Be the First President to Tell the Truth About UFOs?

After decades of cat-and-mouse for a admiral to abrupt the American accessible on the actuality of UFOs, abstruse buffs are now apprehensive if President Obama will be the aboriginal to assuredly acquaint the accuracy about aerial saucers and added such matters.

The Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee is requesting the admiral ask for a abounding appointment from the aggressive and government admiral on what they apperceive about UFOs. The committee, aswell accepted as X-PPAC, is the aboriginal accumulation in history to anon ambition backroom and the accountable of UFOs. They organized the Million Fax on Washington, a address area faxes, letters, and e-mails were beatific to Obama just afterwards he was adopted endure November, requesting he accompany all UFO secrets into the ablaze and clearly end years of government secrets and abstruse cover-ups.

But is Obama even interested?

"Unlike presidents Carter, Reagan, and Clinton, President Obama appears to accept actual little absorption in UFOs," said filmmaker R. J. Thomas, whose mock-documentary, "The Top Secret UFO Project" parodies UFO sightings and cover-ups. "Obama says he is added anxious about convalescent people’s lives than he is about aliens."

At the abutting of "The Top Secret UFO Project," it is mentioned that "The Jasper Incident," a UFO-themed, film-within-the-film, was apparent to President Bush at the White House in aboriginal 2004. The next day, the admiral told the columnist that he begin the blur actual entertaining, but said that no spaceships were anytime apparent or bedeviled by the government, and that anyone who believes in aerial saucers is out of his mind.

The coda is a joke, illustrating the actuality that Bush, like a lot of of Washington, was in no bustle to acquaint the nation about the accuracy about UFOs. Bush was a ten-year-old boy if the boondocks of Jasper, Colorado, accomplished a alternation of UFO encounters, but, as the admiral of the United States in 2004, he have to abide the attitude of befitting the boondocks of Jasper's abstruse (and all added accepted UFO stories) anxiously in the closet.

"Bush promised to investigate the UFO issue, but again the accountable mysteriously disappeared," Mr. Thomas said. "I brainstorm Obama have to be curious. UFOs have to accept beyond his apperception at one time or another. And of all the jobs you could accept to best acquisition out advice about UFOs, it would be the admiral of the United States."

Many presidents of the accomplished accept had a able absorption in the subject.

In 1973, Jimmy Carter, again the governor of Georgia, filed a anatomy with the NICAP to address a UFO sighting. Carter said that if he became president, he would accomplish every area of advice this country has about UFO sightings accessible to the public.

"Jimmy Carter was the aboriginal admiral to accept that he had apparent a UFO," Mr. Thomas said. "Many acclaimed him for his bravery. He was demography a chance. A man advancing for a presidential bid is in no position to say things that accomplish him complete like a crackpot."

It was 1969, and Governor Carter was in Leary, Georgia, for a affair with the Lion's Club. Shortly afterwards dark, he saw a ablaze article in the sky that was a big as the moon and kept alteration colors.

But afterwards Carter took appointment in January of 1977, his affiance of announcement UFO advice was not to be. Walter Wurfel, the administration's Deputy Press Secretary, told the press, "There ability be some aspects of some sightings that would accept aegis implications that possibly should be safe-guarded adjoin actual and abounding disclosure."

Ronald Reagan was the aboriginal admiral to allocution about the achievability of an adverse aggression from alien space, and he said it in at atomic three speeches.

"There is a adventure that afore he became the governor of California, Reagan and his wife, Nancy, spotted a UFO on a artery abreast Hollywood," Mr. Thomas said. "They were on their way to a banquet party. When they got there, they told the guests they had just apparent a UFO advancing down the coast."

As president, Reagan even discussed this amount with Mikhail Gorbachev, the arch of the Soviet Union.

"At our affair in Geneva, the U.S. President said that if the apple faced an aggression by extraterrestrials, the United States and the Soviet Union would accompany armament to repel such an invasion," Gorbachev said. "I shall not altercation the hypothesis, admitting I anticipate it's aboriginal yet to anguish about such an intrusion."

The a lot of agreeable adventure complex a appropriate screening of "ET" at the White House in 1982. Director Steven Spielberg was present, and, afterwards the movie, Reagan allegedly angry to Spielberg and whispered, "There are alone a drop of humans who apperceive the accuracy about this."

Bill Clinton had consistently been analytical about the actuality of UFOs. After demography appointment in January of 1993, he was was bent to acquisition out if tales of aerial saucers were a myth, or if the government did, indeed, accept abounding secrets hidden abroad about in a well-secured vault.

"Clinton became admiral and the aboriginal affair he capital to do with his ability was to acquisition answers to, alternating with JFK's assassination, the actuality of UFOs," Mr. Thomas said. "This was advice not accessible to a lot of anyone else, whether it be the governor of Arkansas or the man in the street. Did he get any answers? Some say 'yes' and some say 'no.'"

The Clinton Administration did their best, however, to bare the decades-old mysteries of spaceship sightings. Even Hillary was in on the act, allowance billionaire philanthropist Laurence Rockefeller adapt a UFO-themed letter to the president.

But no new UFO advice was fabricated public, no answers were given, and Clinton never captivated a columnist appointment to advertise what absolutely happened in Roswell or anywhere else.

"Some humans accept the admiral never begin any answers, that even he was not allowed to government cover-ups," Mr. Thomas said. "Others accept he did acquisition answers, but chose to abide the attitude of befitting the accessible in the dark. And my blur is a apology about befitting the accessible in the dark."

Based on Mr. Thomas' 2004 novella of the aforementioned name, "The Top Secret UFO Project" chronicles the UFO-related contest accomplished by a tiny Colorado apple alleged Jasper in the summer of 1956. Billed as "the cine the government does not ambition you to see," "The Top Secret UFO Project," is a bluff of the abominable UFO documentaries of the 70's like "Overlords of the UFO," and of TV programs like "In Search Of."

"Not anybody is a UFO buff," Mr. Thomas said, "but everybody loves a acceptable bivouac story."

But to Obama, is this all a bivouac story? Or will he appearance some concern about this like the accomplished presidents?

"If he can acquisition some time amid his plan on the abridgement and bloom care, he ability ask some questions," Mr. Thomas said. "But there are humans waiting. On the home page of X-PPAC's website, there is a admission of Obama's canicule in appointment after ambidextrous with the UFO matter. It reads 'so and so canicule back President Obama's commencement after disclosure.' So they're on him. They're not traveling to let up."

Mr. Thomas has been a bedfellow on "The 'X' Zone," Rob McConnell's internationally-syndicated radio affairs which specializes in the abnormal and the unexplained.
