"I think it's time to open the books on questions that have remained in the dark on the question of government investigations of UFOs," said Podesta. "It's time to find out what the truth really is that's out there. We ought to do it because it's right, we ought to do it because the American people, quite frankly, can handle the truth and we ought to do it because it's the law." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9ttSXYwZsg)
However, his enthusiasm for the release of UFO files doesnt make Podesta a believer in alien life. In an interview with the Las Vegas Journal, Podesta said that he was "skeptical that there is extraterrestrial life."
Lawyer Stephen Bassett of the Paradigm Research Group (PRG) is now spearheading a national political campaign, the Million Fax on Washington campaign, to pressure Obama to release UFO files and "end the UFO Truth Embargo." Bassett, in an interview this week on the George Noory radio show, expressed strong optimism about the possibility of the opening of long-hidden UFO documents under an Obama administration, particularly when an advocate of UFO document disclosure like John Podesta is heading his transition team.
"The United States has a new President Elect and PRG is notifying the political media to be on alert for a large quantity of faxes and emails heading for the senatorial office of Barrack Obama and later the Transition Office," according to a news release from Bassett's group on November 5.......

I doubt if the “truth” files would ever be released. Why would the government do it? It would divert public attention away from the all-knowing, all-important government, to the aliens. They are never going to give up that power.

In all likelihood, intelligent life probably does exist somewhere else.
The problem, however, is that it probably isn't anywhere close to us.
Play with the Drake equation, but never forget the Fermi paradox.
Martians aren't visiting earth to 'probe' farmers, but intelligent life probably does exist somewhere else in our galaxy.

Pablum for the masses. We are alone in the universe. Get used to it. Focus on what this administration's going to do to your liberties.

The problem with UFOs is: if they get photographed as distant blobs so often, how come they aren’t seen close up all the time? Far away from somebody is usually near somebody else.

Obama is an elitist. There is no chance he will tell us the truth about the UFOs.

Thanks JPB.
John Podesta, chief of Obama's transition team and Clintonâs Chief of Staff from 1998 to 2001, has been a longtime advocate of openness in government and a strong supporter of the release of UFO documents by the U.S. In a ground breaking news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. with investigative reporter Leslie Kean in 2002, he urged the federal government to "open the books" on government UFO investigations.
Seems like a perfect time for such ET secrets (if any actually exist) to be released, because no one will believe anything the Sock Puppet says anyway.
There are basically two reasons why any such revelation would be unlikely, if not outright impossible; one is, there is such a nasty, mean-spirited rejection of the very notion that any President would be finishing off his or her career and credibility with one fairly brief televised presentation, and number two, if believed, putting the government imprimatur on such information would literally destroy whatever is left of society's foundations.
