Apparently Canada’s former Minister of Defense is all about full disclosure on the subject of extraterrestrials visiting earth. This video is pretty badass; his quote from Bill Clinton is fucking mind-blowing.
Here’s the wikipedia page about this guy. Has a lot of stuff about his legit political career followed by a section about his “crazy talk” about aliens.

Now, DON’T READ THIS NEXT LINK. It is mind numbingly boring. It’s about his actual career as the Defense Minister, and I’m only posting it to show that he doesn’t spend his life talking about aliens all the time; he was a real dude with a real career. Note that I did do a page search for the words “alien”, “extraterrestrial”, and “UFO” just to be sure. Search came up empty.

Then again, I guess there is one powerful argument against the idea that aliens exist, visit the earth, and are tracked by secretive government agencies: EVERY RATIONAL PERSON INTUITIVELY KNOWS THAT INTELLIGENT LIFE EXISTS ONLY ON EARTH. (Slam dunks on every crazy person who believes in the existence of aliens, takes a nap for the rest of the day.)

Hey readers! If you liked this post, you should check out some of my books. I’ve got an epic series called Demonworld, which is equal parts Mad Max and Lord of the Rings (think “science fantasy”), and a much-loved gamebook series called Heavy Metal Thunder which is currently a hyperlinked Kindle book but will be a fancy phone app any day now.
You are an arrogant idiot!
Maybe I used too much sarcasm?
Hey there readers! I’ve gotten a big spike in views for this old page. I don’t know if the above commenter has been coming here over and over again or if some people are investigating Hellyer online and they end up here, but I need to make something clear. Ninety percent of this particular post was written in a sarcastic tone. Unfortunately that doesn’t translate well online. I was making fun of the fact that even though Hellyer is a reasonable man with a respectable career, he is often poked fun at for being completely insane simply because he believes in the possibility of non-human, non-terrestrial intelligent life.
Of course, any one who works for the government in an administrative capacity should be prepared to deal with the possibility of encountering creatures like ourselves. I wrote this piece in a sarcastic tone because people tend to believe just the opposite view: That those in power should put on their blinders (the same ones worn by the public!) and not even acknowledge the possibility of encountering extraterrestrial (or cryptoterrestrial) intelligences.
So that’s how that works. Now if anyone would like to explain why this particular page has been getting such a big spike in views, I’d love to hear it!
