"There are pieces of evidence", says former Senator Harry Reid

"I-Team: Former Sen. Reid wants UFO studies made public." Posted on 8 News NOW Las Vegas YouTube channel on the 27th of February 2019. Duration: 5:10 min.

Harry Reid, a former Senator, believes Russia and China have had and still have their own UFO programs.

That piece of information is of course nothing new or controversial for UFO enthusiasts. In fact, in the interview by George Knapp, former Senator Reid is not saying anything new or controversial.

So, why post the interview? Personally, I think the most interesting thing in the interview is that Mr Harry Reid is saying that "there are pieces of evidence" with a mischievous smile. Of course, Mr Reid does not want to say what nature those "pieces of evidence" are or look like, and he claims that he just heard of it as a rumour.

But the interesting part for me is that Mr Reid's claim about "pieces of evidence" (followed by his mischievous smile) may tie into Dr Eric W. Davis´ claims about the U.S. government having crash retrieval programs until 1989. With no success, according to Dr Davis. You can listen to Dr Davis talk about the topic in my previous post here.

So, are we getting the correct information about the UFO phenomena? Or is there a faction inside and outside the U.S. government that has hijacked - what I call - the educational, or preparation, phase of the disclosure process?

But why at all start a disclosure process (if this is an attempt at disclosure) about the UFO phenomena, if you do not want attention from the public and media in the first place? Why release Department of Defence videos of UFOs in major newspapers if you want to keep that knowledge secret? Why release information about AAWSAP and AATIP?

Where is the logic in "To The Stars Academy" (TTSA) being a CIA or DIA (or both) front?

If someone wants to keep studying UFO technology in secret, without interference from the public, media, or Congress, why is so much information being released and shared by "insiders"? Remember that TTSA has been, and still is, busy informing congressional representatives about UFOs, AATIP, AAWSAP, and so on.

The only way for me to make sense of all the above contradictions is that there has to be at least two opposing factions inside the Pentagon. The two factions are in disagreement about whether the public has a right to know, and so on and so forth.

I speculate that what made the articles in the New York Times in December 2017 possible, is a change in group dynamics and power balance between the two factions. I wrote more at length about my thoughts on these contradictions in my post from September last year.

I still believe - I can be mistaken - that we are experiencing an "educational phase" of a disclosure process of the UFO phenomena. I also believe that the "what", "how" and "when" are well planned. That is, there is a clear and intentional strategy behind the phases of the disclosure process. Nothing is random here. And "balance" is a keyword in the unfolding of the disclosure process.

But, I think it is crucial that the public soon gets more involved in the disclosure process. I believe that a transparent disclosure is only going to happen if the public is given power and control over the disclosure process. What is on the other side of power and control? Yes, responsibility and effort.

I believe that TTSA and others are trying to facilitate the public in gaining power and control. They are briefing congressional representatives, working with meta-materials, etc., and they are going to make their studies and results public. Then, it is up to the public to take responsibility and attempt to analyse the information and take action accordingly.

In other words, disclosure has to be by and for the people. The people have to own and control the final disclosure. Disclosure has to be a bottom-up process, rather than a top-down process. Or at least, the powers at be and the people have to meet somewhere in the middle.

So, now is not the time for paranoia or knee-jerk reactions to everything and everyone related to the Department of Defence and the intelligence community.

It is not necessarily so that people once - or who still are - working in the national security apparatus agree with how the UFO phenomenon has been handled in the past or in more recent times. Not everyone in the national security apparatus wears a black hat. Some are wearing white hats.

Take care!
