Hillary Clinton: I will reveal truth about UFOs if I become America's next President

The Democratic candidate has vowed to "get to the bottom" of UFOs and what is really going on at the top secret Area 51 if she's elected. Hillary Clinton has vowed to "get to the bottom" of UFOs if she becomes the next President of the United States. And the Democratic presidential candidate believes we may already have been visited by extraterrestrials.

Responding to a question about UFOs from a journalist while campaigning in New Hampshire, she reportedly said: "Yes, I'm going to get to the bottom of it."

Clinton, who could become America's first female president if elected in November, also said she would send a "task force" into Area 51 - a top secret base in Nevada where UFO enthusiasts believe alien technology is being back-engineered.

John Podesta, her campaign chairman, has previously called for the release of all UFO files as the “American people can handle the truth”. Last year he famously tweeted his biggest regret of 2014 was not securing the release of the UFO files before he retired. He said: "Finally, my biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files. #the truthisstilloutthere".

Podesta  was also her husband Bill Clinton's chief of staff when he was in the White House and a top advisor to President Barack Obama.

Hillary said: “He has made me personally pledge we are going to get the information out. One way or another. Maybe we could have a task force go to Area 51."

Last year Bill Clinton told US chat show host Jimmy Kimmel he wouldn't be surprised if alien life visited Earth but said he hoped it "wouldn't be like Independence Day".

He also said he had looked into Area 51 but added: "There are no aliens there. "When asked about her husband's comments, Hillary said: "I think we may have been (visited already). We don't know for sure."

In 1993, Clinton, when he was president, was approached by billionaire Laurance Rockefeller to release all UFO files to the public. The Clintons even met with the philanthropist and financier, part of the American banking dynasty, at his ranch in Wyoming in August, 1995, as part of the so-called “Rockefeller Initiative”.

Retired detective constable Gary Heseltine, who has been researching UFOs for 40 years and edits UFO Truth Magazine, said: "I am well aware of the Rockefeller initiative and that both the Clintons were heavily involved in it.

"It was inevitable that Hillary Clinton would be asked questions about her links to it and I am pleased that she has responded to them. "She cannot run away from those links so she really has to embrace it in order to remain credible. It will be interesting to see how much of a political issue it will become in her presidential campaign."

         0318 hours. I read some of the links also. Every so often UFO’s come back into focus for me. Reality is interesting. I would like to know the truth about such witnessed accounts. Credibility is always (self) questionable, as most any witness knows. I don’t know if we can know/understand some observable truths.

         You are looking philosophically at something most likely a reality from your perspective. Post. – Amorella

         0329 hours. I agree. I am convinced aliens similar to ourselves in terms of ‘higher consciousness’ exist. I know this is actually a belief based on probability as I see it. I can’t understand some ‘truths/reality’ in this context so I am guilty of the self-questioning. I turn a page and find I have said the same thing twice. Alas, until I see the humor in it. 

         Late morning. You completed your forty minutes of exercise and had a hot bath to tone down the almost daily arthritic morning aches and pains. Carol has done another load of wash, presently drying. You are getting dressed for lunch and going to call someone about the bathroom before leaving. Later, dude. – Amorella

         You had a wonderful time visiting your old friend Jim Powers. Rather than going out for lunch he made it himself and you had a good meal with great conversation. Tonight you ran errands and had supper with Carol at Panera on Mason-Montgomery Road. You watched NBC News and last night’s Masterpiece episode of season six, “Downton Abbey”. Carol went up to read and you watched another episode of the first season of the “X-Files”. Time for bed – your heart had a very good day. Post. - Amorella

        2248 hours. I have had a very good life. Seeing an old friend and/or friends is an absolute delight. Young or old -- it is an absolute delight.
