Government Transparency & UFOs: Inside Military Programs and Classified Briefings

First atomic bomb is exploded I think July 16th, 1945. Then we dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. August 15th, Japan officially surrenders. August 16th, one day after Japan surrenders, this spaceship crashes near the Trinity site where it is found by two young boys on horseback.

One of the military guys comes out years later and very publicly says, we told the public garbage. We didn't show them the real stuff. The UFO sightings that culminated in sightings over Washington, D.C., and reading the stuff from 1952 was fascinating because it didn't seem like the official stories had changed much. You know, you had Air Force personnel saying, yes, we saw these things on radar.

We sent pilots up. They saw things. They eluded us. And also the same line, which has been going on 73 years now, is nobody should feel embarrassed to report these. All right, everybody, it's Michael Shermer.
