In today's episode, we are thrilled to welcome Steve Bassett, a leading advocate for the disclosure of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) and extraterrestrial presence. Steve shares his journey from a science fiction enthusiast to a prominent activist in the field of UFO research. His story begins in the golden age of science fiction, where authors like Heinlein and Asimov sparked his imagination. However, it wasn't until 1996, after reading Dr. John Mack's groundbreaking book on alien encounters, that Steve decided to dedicate his life to the political implications of UFO disclosure. He realized that the issue was not about proving the existence of extraterrestrial life, but about the political barriers preventing governments from acknowledging it.
Our conversation delves into the historical context of UFO secrecy, tracing its roots back to the end of World War II and the onset of the Cold War. Steve explains how the threat of nuclear war and the rise of the national security state led to the suppression of information about extraterrestrial engagement. He argues that the decision to embargo this knowledge was initially justified by national security concerns, but is no longer defensible. As we explore the recent congressional hearings on UAPs, Steve highlights the significance of having journalists like Michael Schellenberger involved, as they can bring new information to light and challenge the status quo.
Steve passionately discusses the transformative potential of disclosure for humanity. He believes that acknowledging the extraterrestrial presence is the key to unlocking solutions to global challenges, including the nuclear threat. Steve envisions a future where open contact with extraterrestrials leads to a new era of cooperation and understanding. He encourages listeners to educate themselves, support organizations working towards disclosure, and seize the opportunities that this paradigm shift will bring. Join us for this enlightening conversation with Steve Bassett as we explore the implications of UFO disclosure for our world.
Please enjoy my conversation with Steve Bassett.
