Clinton campaign chair: 'The American people can handle the truth' on UFOs

Clinton herself pledged in January to "get to the bottom" of whether rumors of U.S. contact with extraterrestrial life were true.
In regard to Area 51, Podesta echoed Clinton's call, saying, "What I've talked to the secretary about, and what she's said now in public, is that if she's elected president, when she gets into office, she'll ask for as many records as the United States federal government has to be declassified, and I think that's a commitment that she intends to keep and that I intend to hold her to."

Blockbuster announcement on the news: "Yes, alien beings etc. etc. blah blah whatever!"

I immediately join every other Earthling and run out into the street running in circles screaming with my arms waving around over my head.

As in the light years of distance between Point A and Point B.

Physics is physics, and unless some life form has figured out a warp drive, I don't see how you ever close the distance between us and them.

UFO? That's something else. Could be swamp gas for all we know.
