“Her position has elated U.F.O. enthusiasts, who have declared Mrs. Clinton the first ‘E.T. candidate'”.

“Hillary has embraced this issue with an absolutely unprecedented level of interest in American politics”, alien researcher Joseph G. Buchman told The New York Times.
As a teenager she wrote to Nasa to ask about becoming an astronaut. She was turned down, she said, because the space programme did not accept women.
Hillary Clinton spokesperson Brian Fallon had to address critical issues to her campaign on Wednesday, including the ongoing FBI investigation into Clinton’s home-brewed email server and her interest in UFOs.
In March Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta was quoted in a “Huffington Post” story as saying he’d convinced the candidate to declassify UFO files: “I’ve talked to Hillary about that”. For some reason, either the aliens have lost interest in us or we (except for a small, UFO-fixated minority) have lost interest in the very idea that they could be interested. It’s said that the comedian Jackie Gleason, who was a big UFO believer, questioned his friend President Richard Nixon about it and was taken to see a dead alien body kept frozen at Homestead Air Force Base. Similarly, the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump has maintained silence on the issue of alien life on Earth.
One other fact that the Times did not mention is the fact that the Clinton Administration was the venue of a whole slew of conspiracies and cover-ups that did not involve, so far as anyone knows, aliens.
What’s also surprising about her desire to get at the government’s X-Files is that her husband has already promised that he went looking for aliens in the archives but wasn’t able to find any.
The site has also been the siting of numerous UFO sightings for decades, although some think the U.S. military is testing time travel technology there.
Podesta declined to comment for this article.
Back in 1995, during a visit to billionaire Laurance Rockefeller, Clinton was photographed carrying the seminal Are We Alone?: Philosophical Implications of the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life, by Paul Davies.
The meeting enthralled conspiracy theorists and, in turn, inspired Hollywood writers.
“Well, I’m going to do it again”, Clinton told Kimmel.
To this subset of Americans who say the government is covering up what it knows about aliens, and who are incredibly vocal on social media, Clinton’s discussion of extraterrestrials signaled an important turn. She said that as president she would release this information.
