Longtime UFO researcher and former Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer passes away
MYSTERY WIRE ^ | Aug 9, 2021

Hellyer was also a member of the Canadian Parliament for several years and served in various government roles for almost 40 years. He served as Defence Minister from 1963 to 1967.

He became well known in the UFO research community in 2005 when he told an audience at the Toronto Symposium on UFO Disclosure and Planetary Directions at the University of Toronto’s Convocation Hall, “UFOs are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head. That is my unequivocal conclusion.”

Viggiani writes that “as Minister of Defence, (Hellyer) oversaw the drastic and controversial integration and unification of the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army, and the Royal Canadian Air Force into a single organization, the Canadian Forces.”

Let’s see if the science of ufology moves forward one funeral at a time, per Planck’s observation.

The best book ever written about flying saucers is “Intercept UFO” by Renato Vesco. It outlines how these things are purely terrestrial secret weapons.

So just like most of our politicians, he never had a real job.

He has absolutely no first-hand knowledge of UFO’s. He is just passing along what UFO researchers tell him or books he has read. I’ve heard him Interviewed dozens of times. I think it likely he has been used by US and perhaps other intelligence agencies.

Had a friend who went off the deep end looking for UFOs. He started with crop circles, believing they were a sign from UFOs. At one point he had no contact with another human for almost a year. Don’t know where he is now, but definitely not sane.

Not a lot of call in the private sector for "Professional UFO Researcher."

Given what he did to the RCN and RCAF in 1968, under Prime Mistake Rocky Waterhole (translation to French: Pierre Trudeau), I’m sure that there are more than a few vets who are toasting his demise.

UFOs (alien contact) is a fascinating subject and true brain teasers.

Probably 90% of it is pure garbage.

Another 5% or so is government disinformation to cover up secret projects.

But, imho, 5% of it is the real deal.

Good luck separating the third category from the first two...many brilliant folks have tried and failed.

I finished it this weekend on hulu. And then I asked google about the next season.

Google replied, “People of earth has been cancelled.”

Sounds ominous.
