Capt.Edgar Mitchell
Apollo 14 Astronaut
I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real. It has been covered up by governments for quite some time now.
General Nathan Twinning
Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff 1955-58
The phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious. (Sept. 23, 1947)
Air Chief Marshall Lord Dowding
Commander-in-Chief Royal Air Force Fighter Command WW II
I am convinced that these objects exist and that they are not manufactured by any nation on Earth.
Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter
First Director, U.S. Central Intelligence Agency 1947-1950
Unknown objects are operating under intelligent control... It is imperative that we learn where UFOs come from and what their purpose is.
Senator Barry Goldwater
U.S. Senator from 1953 to 1965 and 1969 to 1987
I made an effort to find out what was in the building at Wright Patterson Air Force Base where the information was stored.... I was understandably denied this request. It is still classified above top secret.
Whitley Strieber
Novelist and author of the non-fiction book, “Communication”
Why were my visitors so secretive, hiding themselves behind my consciousness. I could only conclude that they were using me and did not want me to know why … What if they were dangerous? Then I was terribly dangerous because I was playing a role in acclimatizing people to them.
USAF Intelligence Officer David Grusch
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency/Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force
I was informed in the course of my official duties of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program to which I was denied access. (Testimony to a U.S. House of Representatives Hearing, 2023.)
Ronald Reagan
President, United States of America, to the United Nations, 1987
Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us?
Ben Rich
Director of Lockheed's Skunk Works from 1975 to 1991
There are two types of UFOs – the ones we build and the ones ‘they’ build.
David Fravor
Former commander F/A-18F fighter squadron, USS Nimitz
The technology that we faced is far superior to anything we had. And there's nothing we could do about it, nothing. (Testimony to a U.S. House of Representatives Hearing, 2023)
Wilbert B. Smith
Secret 1950 memo to Controller of Telecommunications, Department of Transport, Canada
I made discreet enquiries through the Canadian embassy staff in Washington who were able to
obtain for me the following information: (a) The matter is the most highly classified subject in the
United States Government, rating higher even than the H-bomb. (b) Flying saucers exist.
Luis Elizondo
Former director of the U.S. Dept. of Defense Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (ATTIP)
Imagine a technology that can do 6-to-700 g-forces, that can fly at 13,000 miles an hour, that can evade radar and that can fly through air and water and possibly space. And oh, by the way, has no obvious signs of propulsion, no wings, no control surfaces and yet still can defy the natural effects of Earth's gravity. That's precisely what we're seeing.
Hermann Oberth
German physicist and rocket pioneer
We cannot take credit for our record advancement in certain scientific fields alone. We have been helped, and we have been helped by the people of other worlds.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Leader of the Soviet Union, 1985-1991.
The phenomenon of UFOs does exist, and it must be treated seriously.
Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter
First Director of the CIA, 1947 to 1950
I know that neither Russia nor this country has anything even approaching such high speeds and maneuvers. Behind the scenes, high-ranking officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs, but through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.
J. Edgar Hoover
Director of the FBI, Memo July 10, 1947
We must insist on full access to the disks recovered. In the La. case the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination.
Harry Reid
Former U.S. Senator, 1987-2017.
The UFO phenomenon is real, and the government knows it.
