Hillary, UFOs and government secrets

The Bee recently published a New York Times article about Hillary Clinton’s interest in UFOs. The article’s appearance in the Times the day before drew 596 responses until the comments section was closed.

Predictably, most letters were dismissive – plenty of stale jokes about “little green men” – and many readers ridiculed The Times and Clinton for wasting people’s time over a trivial “non-issue.”

I’ve never seen a UFO, much less an “extraterrestrial biological entity,” but I am aware that hundreds of top-ranking military and intelligence personnel, veteran commercial airline pilots and even retired astronauts are on record describing personal experience with craft and, yes – beings –whom they are convinced did not originate on planet Earth.

Dozens of these men and women can be seen on YouTube under the heading “Disclosure Project Witness Testimony.” Many of them discuss why and how secrets are kept from the American public.
