Is it time for the truth about UFOs to come out?

Do you know that song by Phil Collins? “I can feel it, calling in the air tonight” That’s what I like to begin this article with, because we at World UFO Day feel something is in the air. In the last year, a lot of interesting turns have been made by the UFO community. Contact has been made, and I don’t mean with aliens, I mean on this planet. The image of UFO believers has made a shift. People around us are opening up to a truth that has been there all along. A lot has happened this year, and we’re asking ourselves out loud: “Is it time for the truth about UFOs to come out? To make this tendency clear, we have put a few facts together to show you what has set the tone.

1. Obama’s presidency gives hope

When Obama first became President there were many hopeful signs that his push for more transparent and accountable government would translate into greater openness where the truth would finally come out about UFOs and extraterrestrial life. His appointment of Hillary Clinton to Secretary of State fueled rumors that her documented interest in UFOs in the Clinton administration would lead to some startling disclosures. Whistleblowers were ready to come forward to testify about a host of illegal government activities if they were given protection to reveal their secrets. This culminated in the belief that disclosure of extraterrestrial life was imminent early in the Obama administration. Four years later, those early hopes look positively naïve. Government transparency did not open up national security archives to researchers, and whistleblower protection did not happen after all. The Obama administration went on the record to disavow any interest in investigating claims that the Roswell crash really involved otherworldly UFOs. There was no disclosure of extraterrestrial life visiting our world. But what has changed, four years after Obama’s first Presidential election, is that the world is better prepared for accepting that extraterrestrial life exists.
