Art Bell welcomes journalist Leslie Keane, who reports on a new study by retired NASA scientist Richard Haynes documenting over 100 cases where pilot UFO sightings affected aviation safety. TWA Captain Phil Schultz described a round silver craft with portholes that descended from above and nearly collided with his aircraft in 1981, writing "spaceship" in his official report. Keane discusses the systemic ridicule that prevents pilots from reporting encounters and the resistance she faces publishing serious UFO journalism.

Dr. Steven M. Greer then joins to announce the upcoming Disclosure Project press conference at the National Press Club on May 9th, where over twenty military and intelligence witnesses will testify publicly. Among them is the fourth-ranking FAA official during the Reagan administration, who confirms a 1986 Alaska UFO incident was covered up after CIA agents declared the meeting "never happened" and confiscated evidence.

Greer reveals testimony about UFOs disabling sixteen ICBMs at Malmstrom Air Force Base, weapons already deployed in space in violation of treaties, and Werner von Braun's warning that an alien threat would be fabricated to justify space weaponization. He urges citizens to write their representatives demanding open congressional hearings on the subject.

Key Moments

  1. CIA documents: ridicule was deliberate counterintelligence: Greer says the entire 'silliness' atmosphere around UFOs has been engineered. He cites uncontested CIA documents from the 1950s discussing a deliberate program to make the subject ridiculous, including approaching Disney to produce cartoons - explicit psychological warfare.

  2. 43 NSA assets on major media payrolls: Greer says a national security source confirmed to him that week that at least 43 NSA and other intelligence agency operatives sit inside major media outlets, paid to spike, kill, or spin stories - meaning the press as a check on government has been compromised on this issue.

  3. Malmstrom: 16 ICBMs disabled while UFOs hovered: Greer details the Malmstrom Air Force Base incident - two Air Force lieutenant colonels who didn't know each other will testify that UFOs hovered over Strategic Air Command launch facilities and 16 intercontinental ballistic missiles went inert simultaneously, and Boeing's investigation was halted by the Air Force.

  4. ETs intercepted a US plan to nuke the Moon: A senior Atomic Energy Commission official and Air Force Reserve colonel will testify the US planned and actually attempted to detonate a nuclear weapon on the Moon to intimidate the Soviets, and that extraterrestrials intercepted it - they will not allow weapons of mass destruction to be put into space.

  5. Free, unmetered energy - and why it has been classified: Asked whether suppressed UFO-derived technology could replace fossil fuels, Greer says yes - and that a Bell Labs scientist documented around 28 inventions classified under national security order specifically because they would generate energy that cannot be metered or sold.
