“Of course UFOs are real, and they are interplanetary. The cumulative evidence for the existence of UFOs is quite overwhelming and I accept the fact of their existence.”
“More than 10,000 sightings have been reported, the majority of which cannot be accounted for by any ‘scientific’ explanation, e.g. that they are hallucinations, the effects of light refraction, meteors, wheels falling from aeroplanes and the like. They have been tracked on radar screens and the observed speeds have been as great as 9,000 mph.
I am convinced that these objects do exist and they are not manufactured by any nation on earth.
I can therefore see no alternative to accepting the theory that they come from an extraterrestrial source.”
Air Chief Marshall Lord Hugh Dowding
Commanding Officer of the Royal Air Force during WWII.

“Something is going on in the skies that we do not understand.
If all the airline pilots and Air Force pilots who have seen UFOs - and sometimes chased them - have been the victims of hallucinations, then an awful lot of pilots should be taken off and forbidden to fly.”

“We must insist upon full access to discs recovered. In the LA case the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination.”

Monsignor Corrado Balducci

“Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe that unknown flying objects are nonsense.”
Roscoe Hillenkoetter
Former CIA Director in a public statement, 1960.

“My own present opinion, based on two years of careful study, is that UFOs are probably extraterrestrial devices engaged in something that might very tentatively be termed ‘surveillance’.”

“I know other astronauts share my feelings.... And we know the government is sitting on hard evidence of UFOs.”

Don’t forget Reagans speech where he talked about the “Outside visitor coming and the world coming together” Or something to that fact.. Really interesting how many people actually have talked about it.
