There are quite a few people whose names many of us would recognize, who either believe aliens have visited the earth or UFOs are piloted by aliens. Some of the names would surprise you and maybe others not so much. Recently the founder of Bigelow Aerospace made a statement saying he knew aliens were on the earth. You can imagine how surprised people were to hear this. Bigelow is a partner with NASA and he has been quoted as saying he was “absolutely convinced” aliens exist and were living on earth at this very moment. He made this announcement on the show 60 Minutes. I have to wonder how the people running the show felt about that. Bigelow is famous for inventing expandable modules which can be attached to spaceships and space stations. He was also asked the question of whether he thought UFOs come from earth and replied he did. Bigelow claimed he has spent many millions of dollars trying to find out about aliens and went on to say he probably spent more than any individual in the United States has ever spent to do this. I guess it would be interesting to know what kind of research he did and who he had do it for him and why he became so convinced about an alien presence.

Some people who believe in UFOs were in a position to know what was going on and when they admit UFOs are alien, one has to pay attention. Most people know President Ronald Reagan chased a UFO and saw a few of them in his lifetime, but I wonder how many people know that he asked Makhail Gorbachev if we were attacked by aliens would Gorbachev help to fight them off with us and he said yes. While this isn’t exactly Gorbachev stating he believed in UFOs and aliens, he certainly didn’t say they didn’t exist. Reagan had chased a UFO in a plane when he was the governor and even talked about UFOs in his speech to the United Nations. Since this man was the President of the United States he must have investigated the topic and apparently didn’t find anything to make him feel any different and could have found some evidence we don’t know about.

I don’t know if John F. Kennedy believed in UFOs or not, but something was going on and this is evidenced by the fact he stated the U.S. Air Force told him UFOs were not a threat. This was practically an admission they existed. It is said some sources hold that President Kennedy had knowledge about UFOs from somewhere. There is a story about a man named Bill Holden who was the load master for Air Force One. It states he was traveling to Europe with Kennedy the summer of 1963 and the two began to talk about a UFO conference that was held in Germany and this prompted Holden to ask the President what he thought about UFOs. It is said Kennedy replied "I’d like to tell the public about the alien situation, but my hands are tied." If this is true it was an incredible reply to the question and indicates Kennedy knew far more about UFOs than he ever said. There are even those who state this was the reason Kennedy was killed, but that may be going much too far. MJ-12 documents which have appeared, state the intelligence Corps shared information with Kennedy when he was a representative and this information they shared was about the Roswell crash. There has been a debate going on for many years pertaining to MJ-12 documents as to whether they are genuine or not.

After World War II the United States brought many of the German rocket scientists to this country and one of the most famous was Doctor Hermann Oberth. He was considered one of the pioneers of rocket design. Supposedly he said the Germans wouldn’t take credit for all their advances in certain scientific fields, because they had help. He was then asked who helped. He replied, the people from other worlds. Why would a man as famous as this put himself up to ridicule by saying something like that unless it was completely true?

I can’t help but go back to Doctor J. Allen Hynek. He was an astronomer assigned to project Blue Book which investigated UFO sightings with the mandate to supply excuses for what people saw. As he went from case to case providing silly excuses for some of the sightings such as swamp gas, he began to realize there was something here and not everybody was seeing things which could be explained. Eventually Blue Book was closed by the Air Force and Hynek established an Institute to investigate UFO sightings, because he had now become a believer. He was a man who investigated hundreds of sightings as a skeptic and yet in the end he had no choice but to believe after listening to and seeing evidence of UFO sightings.

You have to wonder what somebody would think if I told him the director of the Central Intelligence Agency said UFOs were not only real, but were piloted by aliens. Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter was head of the CIA under President Truman from 1947 until 1950. Here is a man who probably had examined all the evidence since he was in a position of great power. He talked about the unknown objects which were operating in our skies and said they were under intelligent control. He went on to say we have to learn where these things were coming from and what their purpose was. Maybe even more interestingly he went on to say high-ranking military officers were very concerned about UFOs. This is an interesting thing to read, because today the government makes believe UFOs don’t exist, but are they secretly worried about UFOs? I bet they are.

Sometimes people don’t come out with a direct statement that they believe in UFOs and aliens, but they say things which indicate this. Such were the words of the famous general Douglas MacArthur, when he said in 1955 the next war we were going to fight would be an interplanetary one. What did he know? It has long been suspected people like General MacArthur and General Curtis Lemay knew a lot about UFOs, maybe more than most people in the government. This could have been because UFOs seem to be attracted to war and have appeared over many battle fronts, observing and thus reports must have been made which landed up on the desks of people like MacArthur and Lemay. One has to remember that Barry Goldwater who was a general under Lemay came to him to find out what he knew about UFOs and was severely chastised and told to never ask that question again. If Lemay didn’t know anything why would he have gotten so angry at Goldwater?

There seems to be a lot more people who know about aliens and UFOs than we suspect and I could’ve named many more famous people if I wanted to and perhaps in the future I will mention them.
