Hillary Clinton: 'I will Reveal Truth About UFOs And Area 51 If I Become President'

In 2007, Hillary Clinton acknowledged that among the top freedom of information (FOI) requests her husband received as president were requests related to UFO and alien disclosure.

Bill Clinton also admitted in 2014 to the show host Jimmy Kimmel that in the light of recent advances in space research, it would not be surprising if Earth has been visited by aliens. But he said he hoped that any contact with aliens would be peaceful and not like the scenario constructed in the Independence Day movie.

"No, I am trying to tell you I don't know, but if we were visited some day I wouldn't be surprised. I just hope it's not like Independence Day the movie."

Commenting further during the interview with Steer, Hillary said, "I think we may have been (visited already). We don't know for sure."

Hillary Clinton's comments follow the statement in 2014 by her campaign chairman John Podesta that his biggest regret during his time as top adviser to President Barack Obama was not securing release of classified UFO files.

John Podesta was also chief of staff to President Bill Clinton.

"Finally, my biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files. #the truthisstilloutthere."

The Mirror reports that Gary Heseltine, a UFO researcher and retired police detective, said, "I am well aware of the Rockefeller initiative and that both the Clintons were heavily involved in it. It was inevitable that Hillary Clinton would be asked questions about her links to it and I am pleased that she has responded to them. She cannot run away from those links so she really has to embrace it in order to remain credible. It will be interesting to see how much of a political issue it will become in her presidential campaign."
