BRANTFORD, Canada—Hillary Clinton played a key role in the ‘90s as First Lady in an effort to uncover classified government information on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP, the new preferred term for unidentified flying objects, or UFOs). Now, Clinton and her campaign chairman, John Podesta, have talked about making public any remaining confidential UAP files if she is elected president.
It’s an unprecedented approach to the controversial topic for a presidential campaign. And although it’s far from a major focus of Clinton’s campaign, it has caught the attention of many who have long called for such disclosure.
Among the topics discussed by a panel of experts on UAP disclosure in Brantford, Canada, on June 25, was Clinton’s power—past and future—to release such classified information.
Clinton’s Interest in UAP as First Lady
Clinton had a major, if restricted, role in pushing for UAP-related disclosure when her husband, Bill Clinton, was president in the ‘90s.
Grant Cameron, a prominent Canadian UAP researcher who was on the panel, has delved into stacks of documents received through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Some of those documents, the so-called “Rockefeller files,” pertain to a major push by billionaire philanthropist and businessman Laurance Rockefeller for disclosure during Bill Clinton’s administration.
