Revealed a uniformed U.S. Army whistleblower briefed him on alien-human hybrid breeding programs at 6-12 secret locations.

Stated plainly that the U.S. military has reverse-engineered non-terrestrial technology through defense contractors.
What is more dangerous to have on your LinkedIn right now? IRGC general or UFO scientist? You could go missing at any time with those on your LinkedIn bio right now.
Said he's consulted homicide detectives who confirmed the pattern of UAP scientist deaths warrants investigation. Called for witness protection.
UAPs in and around the sensitive airspaces of U.S. military installations pose a threat to the security of the armed forces and their readiness. The American people deserve to know the truth.

I think they're demons. I really do. I've got three years of the very tippy-top of the classification, and I'm going to get to the bottom of it.
Told Benny Johnson he believes UFOs are 'probably demons.' Said he has top-level classification access and plans to investigate.
I've been to locations that I can't disclose. David Grusch has been helping us identify where to look. There's one location overseas – it's too big to move. They couldn't hide it if they wanted to.

We've got our people working on it right now.
Confirmed Pentagon is complying with Trump's UFO disclosure executive order. AARO caseload has exceeded 2,000 active cases.

This is good news, and I am encouraged to see the president lend his support to this effort. There is still more to be done.

They're real, but I haven't seen them.
When asked 'Are aliens real?' in a podcast lightning round, Obama said 'They're real' – then walked it back the next day saying he meant statistically.
We've had repeated instances of something operating in the airspace over restricted nuclear facilities – and it's not ours. This keeps me up at night.
Revealed that UAPs have been repeatedly observed over restricted nuclear facilities – and the White House was kept uninformed for decades.
The White House has been kept uninformed for decades about secret government projects to reverse-engineer UFOs.
Claimed even presidents have been kept in the dark about secret government programs to reverse-engineer UFOs.
There are some things that we can't explain out there. Our intent was to make sure that there wasn't an assumption by folks that we were trying to hide anything. If there's any of that out there, then let's disclose it.
Confirmed plans to reintroduce the UAP Disclosure Act with Schumer. Said 'non-human intelligence' language was included to ensure nothing was hidden.
There is evidence that suggests interdimensional beings that can move outside of time and space in ways that don't align with our current understanding of physics.
Suggested UAP evidence points to interdimensional beings that move 'outside of time and space.'
For far too long, critical information about UAPs has been either classified or ignored. Quite frankly, there's been things that have been kept secret that is old enough that there is no reason it shouldn't be released.

Claimed she reviewed classified photographs at Eglin Air Force Base showing aircraft not made by humans.
The NASA independent study team did not find any evidence that UAP have an extraterrestrial origin, but we don't know what these UAP are. The mission of NASA is to find out the unknown. There is a lot more to learn.

They're either angels or man-made. I use the term 'angels' as synonymous with an extradimensional being.

Framed the UAP issue not as an alien question but as a government accountability question.
I was speechless. It's one thing for him to go on and do an interview in the media, but this is a former intelligence officer, a retired colonel, and someone who under oath has to answer our questions.

There are a lot more sightings than have been made public. We are talking about objects that have been seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery, that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain – movements that are hard to replicate, that we don't have the technology for, or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.
As former DNI, revealed that the number of UAP sightings far exceeds what has been made public. Described objects that defy known technology.
