Going from memory: When Dr. Hynek mentioned out loud the possibility that the intelligence behind the UFO phenomenon might stop a nuclear war by reprogramming nuclear warheads. He did not mention the Malmstrom events directly, yet he still caught hell from the debunker community.

I worked at a daily newspaper in the early 1990s. The people I met and the stories they told are amazing. They were truthful in reporting what they remembered experiencing. A few feared their bosses in the federal government for just talking to a reporter.

The secret government types really want a lid on the subject. More suspicious minds might think it's to play cough gatekeep cough operate cough profit as the middleman. All should be in favor of Podesta helping Big Brother come clean.

ETA:

Jacques Vallee is the Man when it comes to UFOs.



"I don’t think there is such a thing as “the flying saucer phenomenon.” I think it has three components and we have to deal with them in different ways.

First, there is a physical object. That may be a flying saucer or it may be a projection or it may be something entirely different. All we know about it is that it represents a tremendous quantity of electromagnetic energy in a small volume. I say that based upon the evidence gathered from traces, from electromagnetic and radar detection and from perturbations of the electromagnetic fields such as Dr. Claude Poher, the French space scientist, has recorded.

Second, there’s the phenomenon the witnesses perceive. What they tell us is that they’ve seen a flying saucer. Now they may have seen that or they may have seen an image of a flying saucer or they may have hallucinated it under the influence of microwave radiation, or any of a number of things may have happened. The fact is that the witnesses were exposed to an event and as a result they experienced a highly complex alteration of perception which caused them to describe the object or objects that figure in their testimony.

Beyond those — the physical phenomenon and the perception phenomenon — we have the third component, the social phenomenon. That’s what happens when the reports are submitted to society and enter the cultural arena. That’s the part which I find most interesting."
