'We The People' Petition Seeks Truth Of Alien Visits From Obama Administration

UFO hunters are now turning to an Obama administration initiative in the hopes of revealing what the government really knows about extraterrestrials.

Under the White House's "We the People" program, citizens can appeal to officials "to take action on a range of important issues facing our country."

"If a petition gets enough support," the government website promises, "White House staff will review it, ensure it's sent to the appropriate policy experts and issue an official response."

Gentlemen, start your intergalactic engines . . .

By "enough support," the administration means a petition has to receive just 5,000 signatures within 30 days to warrant an official White House response. That's a low enough threshold to get a lot of conspiracy theorists licking their suspicious chops.

As soon as the White House announced its We the People program, UFO/ET proponent Stephen Bassett wasted no time penning the first alien disclosure petition which reads:

Click...Here (https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/formally-acknowledge-extraterrestrial-presence-engaging-human-race-disclosure/wfYDlmlG)...to participate


We, the undersigned, strongly urge the president of the United States to formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race and immediately release into the public domain all files from all agencies and military services relevant to this phenomenon.Bassett is executive director of Paradigm Research Group which advocates for the truth about UFOs.

"In 1996, when I launched the Paradigm Research Group, I registered as a lobbyist on behalf of a number of organizations on this particular subject -- the idea of total disclosure of an ET presence on Earth by the world governments," Bassett told The Huffington Post.

"Everything PRG does, including World Disclosure Day -- all of it contributes to this process."

And now the die is cast, because within just four days of Bassett's petition being registered, it amassed more than the necessary 5,000 signatures to warrant an official White House response.

And that just delighted arch UFO skeptic Robert Sheaffer. "Well, now we've got something to look forward to!" he said sarcastically.

"It would be one thing if what it were asking is, 'Please reveal all that you know about extraterrestrials.' But this wording pre-supposes that the contact is already going on," Sheaffer told HuffPost. "It doesn't allow the possibility that there isn't an extraterrestrial presence already engaging the human race."

Sheaffer, author of the new book, "Psychic Vibrations," suggests President Obama made a mistake by offering to respond to any petition with a relatively modest number of signatures, "because there's no shortage of bizarre and marginal groups and beliefs that can raise 5,000 signatures."

As Alejandro Rojas pointed out in his recent HuffPost blog, there are examples of prior American presidents -- such as Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter -- who tried to obtain information about UFOs. Even John F. Kennedy asked his staff to provide him with UFO materials.

So now, both alien believers and skeptics are playing a mutual waiting game as they anticipate someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington to tell us who's right.

"The response from the White House could be utterly trivial," said Bassett. "They could just blow it off by saying something like, 'Our policy is that we don't investigate this phenomenon anymore' -- which is a lie -- 'and whatever this phenomenon is, it doesn't pose a threat' -- which they don't know for sure."

And a White House spokesman told HuffPost, "It's not going to be practical for us to start commenting on each individual petition ahead of their getting officlal responses."

But when that official response about extraterrestrials on Earth comes -- as it must -- will you believe it?

UFO Hunters Keep Pressing White House For Answers Through ‘We The People’ Petitions

By Lee Speigel

Thousands of people who believe in UFOs and think the U.S. government knows more than it admits were hoping for a breakthrough last month when they signed petitions on the “We The People” website. But they got what they’ve been getting for decades — nothing.

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy announced on the site there was no evidence of alien life and “no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public’s eye.”

But Ufologists — those who study the various possibilities of unidentified flying objects — aren’t giving up.

Two new petitions have begun collecting signatures, but unlike the original petitions in October, which required 5,000 signatures before the White House must respond, the threshold is now 25,000.

Of course, there’s always been a tense relationship between those who believe the truth about alien visitation is out there and the federal government. The UFO community claims the government has engaged in policies to debunk and ridicule eyewitnesses.

Despite that, the Obama administration is being challenged again to reveal UFO evidence.

Stephen Bassett, author of the initial alien disclosure petition in September, now has a second petition up on “We The People” hoping to gather enough signatures by the Dec. 31 cutoff date.

“The second disclosure petition is intended to directly challenge the response to the first disclosure petition from the Office of Science and Technology Policy,” Bassett, head of the Paradigm Research Group, told The Huffington Post in an e-mail.

“It names names and provides direct links to the documented history of the Rockefeller Initiative,” Bassett added, referring to an effort in the 1990s by billionaire Laurance Rockefeller to get the Clinton administration to release UFO documents.

But what was it about the first petitions that didn’t get the White House to respond in a more UFO-friendly manner? Some critics have complained about what they perceived as a UFO conspiracy attitude in the information requests.

In her previous HuffPost blog, Leslie Kean suggested the petitions weren’t worded in a way that would compel President Obama’s staff to reply differently.

“This is not something that government officials can possibly take seriously,” Kean, author of the New York Times bestseller “UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go On the Record,” told HuffPost.

“I know that from my years of experience in meeting and interviewing them, how to approach the government on this issue. First of all, clarity is incredibly important so they know exactly what you’re talking about,” Kean said.

“Asking for a congressional investigation is completely the wrong thing to ask for, because it’s never going to happen. There’s nothing for Congress to investigate. The documents and letters surrounding the Rockefeller issue have already been released.”

Former nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman has spent more than 50 years lecturing and writing on the idea that some UFOs may be intelligently controlled extraterrestrial vehicles. He doesn’t agree with the initial PRG petition that all UFO information should be released.

“I think there’s a real national security concern here that PRG doesn’t seem to want to address,” Friedman said. “I don’t want any technological data that we have gleaned from the study of either UFO wreckage or UFO instrument data. That could all be used for the development of classified, high-performance military systems and I don’t think you should put that out on the table.

“Secondly, we already know that the National Security Agency and CIA have released top secret UFO documents — we know they exist.”

Friedman suggests how he’d like the government to respond to the UFO petitions.

“I’d be perfectly happy if they would say, ‘Look, we have a ton of classified information which, you can understand, we cannot release because there are weapons implications, but do, indeed, have personal, instrument and satellite observations as well as observations of pilots chasing UFOs.’”

The day before the new PRG petition went up on the White House site, another one reared its head, this one co-written by Hollywood producer Bryce Zabel and UFO historian Richard Dolan.

This request simply and clearly asks the Obama administration to “investigate unidentified aerial phenomena [UAP] as reported by citizens, police, astronauts, pilots and the military.”

“Rich Dolan and I have tried to craft what we hope can become the precedent-setting petition language that is needed to turn the national conversation on this subject of UAP in a more serious direction,” Zabel told HuffPost.

“Our petition says — bottom line — there’s something that’s been going on, we’re not sure what, but a lot of really smart, honest, down-to-Earth folks have seen it, and we would like our government to take a stab at telling us the truth. That’s basically something we should expect them to do.”

Dolan is not only Zabel’s petition co-author but his writing partner on the book “A.D.: After Disclosure.”

“Why would the U.S. government want to acknowledge the reality of a highly advanced technology belonging to an unknown agency — someone that can violate restricted airspace with impunity, disable advanced electronic systems of our best aircraft and even tamper with our nuclear stockpile?” Dolan said.

“That’s certainly not a fun topic to broach to the public. Their only policy can be denial.”

WATCH RICHARD DOLAN UFO PETITION VIDEO:

As the two new petitions begin to gather signatures, Bassett believes his request for information about the Rockefeller-Clinton connection will be the one that the government will have to respond to.

“The White House is faced with a very difficult task in responding to this petition. It cannot deny the [Rockefeller] initiative took place. Many of the principals are major players in the Obama administration and the Democratic Party,” he said. “I would not want to be the staffer assigned the task of responding to Disclosure Petition II.”

He also acknowledges that there won’t be any response if his petition doesn’t secure 25,000 signatures by Dec. 31.

But Kean disagrees with the contents of the PRG petition.

“My basic concern with this is the lack of clarity that it has and the fact that it’s mis-stating things. It is stating that things happened that didn’t actually happen.”

One huge problem with this whole petition issue is that, by trying to get the government to admit anything about UFOs or possible extraterrestrial contact, it would be akin to opening up a Pandora’s box.

“There’s no question about that,” agreed Friedman. “And I personally think that petitioners should request that the government provide amnesty for any military people who want to talk about things that happened, say, 30 or 40 years ago. And I’d limit it to military because those were guys who were working under security oaths.”

WATCH THIS UFO PETITION VIDEO:

In the larger picture, maybe 25,000 signatures isn’t impossible to obtain. After all, polls and numerous statistical studies have shown over the years that there are countless American adults who at least believe that UFOs should be further studied.

If only a small percentage of those people were to sign one or both of the current petitions, it could bring many — believers, skeptics and in-betweeners — that much closer to some sort of resolution on the whole UFO-extraterrestrial topic.

“No matter what the official response on their official website is, I hope the media will ask the presidential candidates about their positions on the content of the petitions,” Zabel said. “What will those men and woman who want to run the country say? And what will President Obama say if he is asked about the content of this petition in a national debate next October?”

But in the end, would even a carefully worded petition lead to the White House finally admitting something extraordinary about UFOs?

“The only thing that will compel the White House to open up on this topic is overwhelming force,” replied Dolan. “This might be some unforeseen event that forces their hand; perhaps an unauthorized release of files, or a UFO sighting that becomes too impossible to deny.

“But it can also come from public pressure, and a thoughtful petition can certainly help in that process.”

There are some really great causes people can petition on there.

Maybe this thread could be stickied to keep awareness going?

If the existence of our Stellan friends are going to be realized by Earth's humanity, it won't come from demanding corrupt govts to disclose anything about them. Our govts have let all of us (humans and Stellans) down by keeping them shrouded in secrecy, even though they've been here in great numbers for a long time.

The fact is that they've been here fighting to free our planet without fanfare or even our help. Heck, we probably would just get in their way.... And before anyone says that they don't have a right to be here intervening, just remember how many of our prayers and meditations have gone out to our Creators and Gods requesting help. They've been given the authority because of us. Be happy because this battle is one none of us could have won by ourselves. The enemy is THAT devious and powerful.

Our demand for Global disclosure, sounds like the drums of war. The cabal fears it; as they should. It's impending doom for them. WE want it because subconsciously we KNOW that disclosure will change everything (whether we're ready for it or not). Disclosure is imminent.... but are we REALLY ready for it? It won't just be about knowing the existence of our cosmic friends, but it'll be EVERYTHING that's related to keeping them secret. IMO every person on the planet deserves to know how deep the lies went, so they can do somethng about it....IMO it will bring its own brand of pain and/or anger....

On a quieter note, I'm suggesting that if you want disclosure, let it be a personal one. Your life will still change, but in beneficial ways. And this way no govt will need to put their stamp on. You can be shown things that would amaze you beyond what global disclosure would bring.
Meditate (or whatever it takes to quiet your mind) and then come from your heart when you communicate with them. They can hear your thoughts, feel your feelings, and know your intentions.... They'll come to you when you're ready....
Make any sense?

i heard steve bassett on coast to coast last week and george noory gave coast listeners a link to the website for signing the petition. i am surprised more people haven't signed it, especially with the millions of coast to coast fans that are aware of the petition. my guess is that they are afraid or they don't think it will make a difference.

[DreamsInDigital]

What about all the files that have already been released by the FBI and NSA concerning UFO's that are available on both websites? We've already gotten soft disclosure, from US Government and many other governments around the world. As others have released their files on them, though quietly they're available.

[geofffxdwg]

I have seen objects before that I have never seen before.Where they came from or who made them I have no idea.But if the Government of the United States were to disclose an ET presence given my Governments track record, I would assume they are lying to me based on anything and everything they have ever said before or after an election was and still is, a complete falsehood or lie.So if they disclose an ET presence, it will send my present mindset back to before the invention of the wheel.I don't need the Government's approval before excepting something I already know as a fact and way of life to become part of my ROM memory.:cool:
