Hillary Clinton vows to investigate UFOs if elected

Well, we now know her priorities! In a meeting with the editorial board of a New Hampshire newspaper, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton vowed to find out once and for all whether UFOs have been discovered by the federal government and kept secret.

Her husband Bill Clinton apparently tried and failed to uncover those buried records while he was President.

I am sure this reassures you all. While the Republicans are distracted by unimportant issues, such as terrorism, radical Islam, a weak economy, an out-of-control federal budget, and a corrupt federal bureaucracy that is abusing its power while failing to do its job, Hillary Clinton has her sights on issues of real importance.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    What’s worse – there is a segment of the population that eats this stuff up. Makes me question sometimes universal suffrage.

  • Jim Davis

    Various news feed are reporting that Clinton responded “jokingly” or “tongue-in-cheek”. I don’t think much can be made of this.

  • You are right of course, but realize that any Republican candidate who said the same thing “jokingly” or “tongue-in-cheek” would be considered fair game by the mainstream press, and they would quite likely spin it to hide the light-hearted nature of the comment.

    So the unexplained phenomena is our atmosphere doesn’t exist unless the US Government says it does?

  • Cotour

    Thats right Nick, it only exists if they say so. (what ever it is)

    You do not comment on something like that or draw attention to it and give it credibility if you, 1. do not know exactly what it is and, 2. If you can not control or destroy it. (what ever it is)

    What can be agreed upon is that it is something being observed rather than nothing, what ever that something is.

    And I am sure Hillary’s comments were meant to mock.

    “What can be agreed upon is that it is something being observed rather than nothing, what ever that something is”

    Exactly.

    I have personally observed phenomena in the sky that defied explanation but I certainly wouldn’t claim it was grays from Zeta Reticuli. I don’t know how to explain it. It is unknown. My point was that I don’t need the government telling me that’s it’s happening or what exactly it is to know something is going on we can account for.

    I wouldn’t believe the government’s explanation anyway…

    Maybe, but I thought the same thing when I first heard that Al Gore claimed to have invented the internet. I didn’t agree with him on many topics, but I was sure that he wasn’t that stupid to be serious about inventing something he so obviously hadn’t. Alas, I was wrong.

    As per an example:

    https://youtu.be/3KreuQScngg

    A helicopter chases some glowing orb that appears to be under some kind of control in California, interesting enough. The more interesting thing to me is the number of the MUFON case, # 54,345. If the general rule is 5 percent of all sightings have no reasonable explanation then that would leave aprox. 2,717 cases that they have looked into have no explanation.

    So if there is something being observed, and there certainly appears to be something there being chased / followed, what the heck is it? (remember, I am not offering an explanation, I do not know)

    This is just one random example, there are many more. Like this: https://youtu.be/3BqLB72wtgc

    The UFO Hillary is talking about is referring to Bills infidelity, or : ” Unauthorizied Fooling around Observed, ” she of course has refused to confront this up to this point as it would reflect badly on her run for president, but once that hurdle is cleared, she can investigate.

    “Issues of real importance” ?

    https://youtu.be/x4wL4lbwwNU

    I just found this interview and it is a very interesting one to say the least on this subject matter. A most credible testimony. IMO Hillary was only pandering to the millenials and there Star Trek / Star Wars training through their youth for political strategy purposes. Always the manipulator, its the only way to understand her.

    Information? Disinformation? This guy sounded pretty credible. His superior only told him not to speak of the incident and the film and what it contained, he forgot to tell him it was top secret. Oops.

    “Robert Jacobs is a professor at Bradley University in Peoria, IL. In 1964, Jacobs was in the Air Force and was the officer in charge of optical instrumentation at Vandenberg AFB, a position in which he basically was responsible for filming ballistic missile test launches.

    After recording a launch at Big Sur, CA, on September 15, 1964, Jacobs was ordered to appear at an emergency meeting with Maj. Mansmann, his commanding officer. When Jacobs arrived he discovered that two unidentified men in suits were also present.

    During the meeting the film of the launch and was shown on a projector. To Jacobs’ shock the footage revealed an unidentified object described as appearing like two pie-plates stuck together and having a ping-pong ball on top, fly into the screen and circle the missile while shooting four beams of light at it. The missile then faltered and tumbled out of the sky while the UFO sped out of view. Maj. Mansmann then asked Jacobs point blank if he was ‘screwing around’ at the time of filming, as if asking if the film was some type of joke. When Jacobs replied that was not, Maj. Mansmann ordered him never to speak of the incident again.

    When Jacobs finally came forward with his story in 1982, he claims he experienced harassment both at work and at home and also received death threats. The Air Force even denied his employment. Luckily Jacobs was able to produce documentation proving his employment.

    Researcher Lee Graham was able to track down Florence J. Mansman, Jr. (Maj. Mansmann) who then corroborated Jacobs’ story and added that at that time the speculation was that the unknown craft was extraterrestrial. Mansmann claimed that after the meeting the two men in suits confiscated the portion of the film containing the UFO. Mansmann had no idea who the men where or what agency they were with though he speculated they may have been CIA agents. Mansmann never saw or heard anything about the film ever again. Mansmann’s letter stating such can be viewed in it’s entirety”
