The idea of aliens are here visiting us in these spaceships that can do these really remarkable things. This offers us a glimpse of our potential future, right? And raises all sorts of questions about whether or not we will ever have those capabilities. Can we achieve these self-same things? But even if it's not the aliens, Then what you get is, as you do today with the U.S.

government, there are worries about, oh, are we behind in a new arms race, right? Do the Russians or do the Chinese have now these advanced drones or hologram devices or something, right? This becomes the worry. So always there's been this kind of interaction with existing technologies and the kind of just sort of the cultural infrastructure surrounding those technologies.

It's interesting. I mean, the renewed interest of people within the US government, again, it's not an entirely unusual phenomenon. It has happened in the past. But it is something that requires a kind of critical mass. Because there's always been a politician here and there who's been interested in UFOs, tried to put it on the national agenda, the federal agenda. Harry Reid.

Yeah, Harry Reid did it back then. There were people back in the 50s and 60s trying to do it. What you need, however, is you need usually a combination of some access to media. You usually need some compelling lobbyists behind it. And then you need to have some pivotal political figures who chime in. You get people like Gillibrand in New York. You get Rubio involved.

You got now Chuck Schumer in New York. You get certain people with some real clout. who get on board, so to speak, and run with this. And once you get that, once you have that kind of energy, if you will, you've got enough there to make this something that can't just go away overnight. And so that's where we are. We've reached this point where you've got a certain critical mass.

The question is for them and the people who pursue this politically, is this sustainable? In the past, this kind of interest has usually been a passing fancy. Other things usually take over. And this stuff usually then sort of moves on and they move on with their interests. So that will be the question. Is this going to be sustained over a lengthy period of time or not?

I wasn't going to be advancing anybody's pet theory one way or the other. I also was not going to be a debunker. I felt all along that we were not being served well
