No, really! I thought Criss Angel blew me away, but this beats all. Here’s more.

“We need to persuade governments to come clean on what they know. Some of us suspect they know quite a lot, and it might be enough to save our planet if applied quickly enough,” he said.

Hellyer became defense minister in former prime minister Lester Pearson’s cabinet in 1963, and oversaw the controversial integration and unification of Canada’s army, air force and navy into the Canadian Forces.

He shocked Canadians in September 2005 by announcing he once saw a UFO.

OK. So maybe he was just imagining things. But it’s more likely that given he’s 83, and seeing the sorry state of the planet we live in, he wants to finally reveal what he knows and persuade others to do so as well.  

And taking into consideration that it’s statistically impossible, given the billions upon billions of stars and possibly planets in our universe, that ours is the only one that supports intelligent life (not that our planet is all that intelligent), I believe him, and really admire his courage.
