The Honorable Paul Hellyer, who was a member of parliament and served as Minister of National Defence, has publicly voiced his beliefs regarding extraterrestrials for years. He recently testified at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure in Washington, DC that took place in May. The goal of this mock hearing was to “accomplish what the U. S. Congress had failed to do for forty-five years – seek out the facts surrounding the most important issue of this or any other time – evidence pointing toward an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.” Five former members of U.S. congress and one former U.S. senator listened to more than thirty hours of testimony from government officials, military personnel, researchers, and witnesses.
Huffington Post Canada describes that, as part of his testimony, Hellyer stated that “aliens are living among us and that it is likely at least two of them are working with the U.S. government.” More specifically, Hellyer announced that at least four species of extraterrestrials have been visiting Earth for thousands of years. According to Huffington Post Canada, he also stated that some extraterrestrials originate from the “Zeta Reticuli, the Pleiades, Orion, Andromeda, and Altair star systems” and “may have different agendas.”

Hellyer has publicly commented about UFOs and extraterrestrials since 2005. In February 2007, he told the Ottawa Citizen that “climate change is the number one problem facing the world today,” and he believes alien technology could ameliorate the situation. According to the paper, he called for “a public disclosure of alien technology obtained during alleged UFO crashes — such as the mysterious 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico — because he believes alien species can provide humanity with a viable alternative to fossil fuels.”
Hellyer has delivered presentations at several UFO conferences, including the International UFO Congress (IUFOC) in Fountain Hills, Arizona. Watch his entire presentation from the IUFOC at the top of this post. The DVD of Paul Hellyer’s IUFOC presentation is also available for purchase.

We recently interviewed Stephen Bassett, organizer of the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure, to get his thoughts on how well he felt the event went, whether it met his expectations, and what his upcoming plans are to continue his efforts for ET disclosure.
In the interview, Bassett says he will be taking this issue to the United Nations. Today his Paradigm Research Group sent out a press release with the details of a statement calling for the United Nations to sponsor “a world conference addressing the possible evidence for an extraterrestrial presence engaging this planet.” The statement was signed by four of the six former congress members who made up the committee that heard five days of testimony from UFO witnesses and researchers last week during the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure at the National Press Club in Washington D.C.
The statement says the signers pledge support for the effort, and was signed by Congresswoman Carolyn Kilpatrick, Senator Mike Gravel, Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, and Congressman Merrill Cook. According to the statement, Congresswoman Darlene Hooley and Congressman Roscoe Bartlett were, “Unable to sign due to post-employment restrictions on Congressional Members and officers.”
Bassett says they intend to approach several member countries of the United Nations to move their idea forward. The proposal states:
Whereas: given the unfolding scientific understanding of the number of potentially life supporting planets within Earth’s home galaxy, it would be the height of arrogance to assert that humans are the only sentient beings within that galaxy;
Whereas: given that credible witnesses have brought forth overwhelming scientific evidence documenting the current presence of unidentified and unexplained aerial craft that many believe to reflect an extraterrestrial intelligence;
And Whereas: given the enormous global implications if these craft are, indeed, of extraterrestrial origin, such an issue is a matter for the General Assembly of the United Nations;
Therefore, we the undersigned request the Citizen Hearing Foundation use its offices to organize interested parties and raise the funds necessary to pursue a global campaign to convince one or more nations to propose a resolution within the General Assembly calling for United Nations sponsorship of a world conference addressing the possible evidence for an extraterrestrial presence engaging this planet.
Witnesses from several countries were present at the Citizen Hearing, including those whose governments are more open to the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. Bassett hopes it is one or more of these countries that step forward to sponsor the proposal.

While not all of the congress members who participated in the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure are convinced we are being visited by extraterrestrials, they do appear unanimous in the opinion that the testimony was impressive. Most of them are now convinced this is a topic that the government should investigate further, and one is not only seeking a resolution from the UN to investigate UFOs, he has gone on camera with ABC News proclaiming the conspiracy to cover all of this up goes straight to the White House.
The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure YouTube page has posted videos with the closing thoughts from all of the former congress members making up the committee in the mock-congressional hearing last week. Most of the responses were very positive. The most lukewarm comes from former congresswoman Darlene Hooley who said, “When I decided I would do this, I honestly knew very little about the whole topic.”
“After listening, I will tell you, the people that have testified, I think, have great credibility.” Hooley continued, “ I think we’re sort of naïve to think in this huge huge universe that there are not other people, or other planets that are highly functioning people that live on those planets, and so I have gotten a great lesson this week.”
The committee member who expressed the most skepticism going into the event was former congressman Merrill Cook. He told the Salt Lake Tribune, “I made it clear to them that I am unlikely to be persuaded.” Although he was open to the idea of UFOs, he expressed more skepticism to the idea of extraterrestrials, saying, “It is still a leap to be saying that a UFO is extraterrestrial or that it’s being manned by people from outer space.”
Cook maintained this point of view after the week of testimony. He told the Citizen Hearing crew, “We have clearly unexplained objects out there that our government recognizes. Where I am not sure we have totally met the burden of proof is whether those have extraterrestrial origins.”
Still he says the quality of witnesses impressed him more than he thought they would have, and admitted, “This is moving me to think a lot of further investigation with more resources needs to be done, including some push to the United States government to put more resources into this.”
Former congresswomen Carolyn Kilpatrick and Lynn Woolsey expressed similar feelings about the high quality of witnesses. Woolsey went so far as to say, “It is almost impossible to be a skeptic after these amazing witnesses of caliber and intelligence and experience.”
Former Congressman Roscoe Bartlett says he is convinced that there is a “cloak of secrecy” over this topic, and he wonders why. “These are honest good people that made the decisions,” he says.” I think we need to understand why they did it so that we can get this thing reversed.”
The sixth member of the committee, former senator Mike Gravel, has been the most out spoken about his feelings on the topic. He says, “There is no doubt in my mind that there is an extraterrestrial presence that is affecting the planet.”
Gravel feels it is imperative that we learn more about these visitors. He says, “Probably the most important issue facing our civilization is to understand this, to explore it, and hopefully mature to level where we can have contact with extraterrestrial interests.”
Gravel has not been shy about sharing these opinions with the media. In the ABC News video blog Top Line, he was asked how high up he felt the conspiracy went to keep the lid on extraterrestrial visitation. He told them, “It goes right to the White House, and of course, once the White House takes a position, ‘well there’s nothing going on’…it just goes down the chain of command, everyone stands toe.”
When asked why the government would keep this secret, he replied, “The military wants to keep this secret, because they don’t want to reveal to the American people that all of these trillions of dollars that we have spent on this silly defense posture that they don’t work.”
ABC brought up the fact that the committee members were paid ,000 to participate in the hearing. They asked if this gave him an incentive to believe the testimony. Gravel said it was “quite the contrary.”
Last week Gravel had voiced his opinion that this matter should be brought up with the United Nations. Testimony was given from several countries, and the global nature of the phenomenon convinced him that this was the best course of action. He assembled a group of panelist to discuss this option.
The Citizen Hearing committee members were more enthusiastic and involved than many had thought they would be. In his closing thoughts, organizer Stephen Bassett said the committee members were not chosen because of their views going into this event, and what they want to do going forward is up to them.
Bassett says that they were not able to get this information while they were in Congress because they are told there is nothing to it, so they don’t spend the time to get to know more. He says, “This is an end run around that barrier and we will see how it goes.”
