Former Canadian Defense Minister Speaks Out on Extraterrestrial Visitors &
Government Secrecy
On September 25, 2005, Hon Paul Hellyer, the former Canadian Minister for
National Defense gave a speech in Toronto at an event titled: "Exopolitics
Toronto: A Symposium on UFO Disclosure and Planetary Direction" (www.
exopoliticstoronto.com) . Hellyer described his time as Minister for Defense from
1963-1967 where the occasional UFO sighting report crossed his desk. He
claims to never have had time for what he considered to be a "flight of fancy",
but nevertheless retained an interest in the UFO phenomenon. While Minister for
Defense, he was guest of honor at the opening of the world's first UFO landing pad at Alberta,
Canada in 1967. He thought it an innovative idea from a progressive Canadian community willing
to pay for his helicopter ride, but did not give much thought to UFOs as having serious policy
implications. He also describes a private UFO sighting he later had with family and guests, but
once again attributed it to a 'flight of fancy' rather than anything having serious policy
implications.
Hellyer's position on UFOs dramatically changed after watching the late Peter Jennings
documentary special, "Seeing is Believing" in February 2005. Hellyer decided to read a book that
had been idly sitting on his book shelf for two years. Philip Corso's, The Day After Roswell,
sparked intense interest for Hellyer in terms of its policy implications. Corso named real people,
institutions and events in his book that could be checked. Intrigued by the policy implications,
Hellyer decided to confirm whether Corso's book was real or a "work of fiction". He contacted a
retired United States Air Force General and spoke to him directly to verify Corso's claims. The
unnamed General simply said: "every word is true and more". Hellyer then proceeded to discuss
the "and more …" with the general and claimed he was told remarkable things concerning UFOs
and the extraterrestrial hypothesis that interplanetary visitors have been here since at least
1947. Finally convinced that the UFO phenomenon was real Hellyer decided to come forward
and speak at Exopolitics Toronto about some of the "most profoundly important policy questions
that must be addressed." (for speech go to: www.checktheevidence.com/video/ ). The policy
questions Hellyer addressed in his talk are both profound and vitally important for citizens of
every nation of Earth.
First, Hellyer claimed that evidence concerning UFOs is the "greatest and most successful cover
up in the history of the world". He confirmed that senior political officials even at the rank of
Minister of Defense, a position he himself occupied, are simply out of the loop when it comes to
information concerning UFOs and visiting extraterrestrials. From a democratic perspective, that
raises many concerns about oversight, transparency and accountability of those in control of the
information, technology and projects concerning the extraterrestrial visitors.
A second profound policy question concerns the designation by the U.S. military of visiting
extraterrestrials as an 'enemy'. According to Hellyer, this had led to the development of "laser
and particle guns to the point that they can be used against the visitors from space." It is this
targeting of visiting extraterrestrials that concerns Hellyer, and he asks "is it wise to spend so
much time and money to build weapon systems to rid the skies of alien visitors?" Hellyer
poignantly raises the key policy question: "Are they really enemies or merely legitimate explorers
from afar?" Hellyer's question raises profound importance in understanding the relationship
between visiting extraterrestrial civilizations and world peace.
The third policy question arose from the recent decision by President Bush to build a base on
the moon. Hellyer believes this is the activation of a plan first launched by Col Corso's mentor, Lt
General Arthur Trudeau to build a base from which visiting extraterrestrials could be monitored
and possibly targeted as they approach the Earth. Hellyer outlined his opposition to the
weaponization of space, something that the liberal government of Canada is currently opposed
to. The weaponization of space remains a key policy issue clearly has profound policy issues
from the perspective of extraterrestrial visitors to Earth.
Finally, Hellyer declared that the "time has come to lift the veil of secrecy" and to have an
"informed debate about a problem that doesn't officially exist." Understanding the evidence
concerning the UFO phenomenon is vital to fully preparing citizens around the world for the truth
concerning extraterrestrials, despite official denial and secrecy by those "in the loop". He calls for
major global initiatives to fully prepare global citizenry for the truth. He endorses a position taken
by key exopolitical researchers such as Alfred Webre to prepare for a "Decade of Contact"
where humanity is prepared for the truth about extraterrestrial visitors through informed debate
and education.
Paul Hellyer is the first senior politician to openly come out and declare the truth about the
extraterrestrial presence. He is blazing a trail that many other senior politicians are destined to
take. It will be wise if the world's senior politicians quickly learn more about this remarkable
Canadian statesman and heed his important advise about data on extraterrestrial visitors and
the "profoundly important policy questions that must be addressed."

Paul Hellyer is a former
Canadian Defense Minister who
admitted publicly that he was
suspicious about the possibility
of 911 being a false flag
operation carried out by insiders
of the Bush Administration.
Hellyer seems credible. But he also is
involved in a group that is investigating
the possibility of extraterrestrials
visiting the Earth. It may be that
Hellyer simply has an OPEN MIND. I
don't know.
Paul Hellyer: Hi, my name is Paul Hellyer. I'm a former Canadian politician, a
member of three administrations. I'm the former Minister of National Defense,
and rose to the rank of Deputy Prime Minister in the Trudeau Administration.
Kyle Hence: Where were you when 9-11?
Paul Hellyer: I was in my office and one of the staff members herd
something on radio and I said, well let's turn on the TV and see what we can
find out and we did. And we watched as most people did, the terrible events
unfold minute by minute.
[Note: these are excerpts. Read full article here. ]
Kyle Hence: There were many Canadians who died too.
Paul Hellyer: Yes, absolutely. It was not obvious at the time, but this came
later when the statistics were made public. ...Terrorism is a terrible thing,
but this was a police problem and an intelligence problem. What was
wrong with your intelligence? Why didn't you know this was going to
happen? You spend billions and billions with spooks all over the world
and surely you should have known what was going on. And, so I began
to be concerned about that. And then questions were raised by others.
Why did the President just sit in the schoolroom when he heard the
news? Why did he not acknowledge that he already knew what was
going on? As a former Minister of National Defense, when the news
came out I had to wonder. Why did airplanes fly around for an hour and
a half without interceptors being scrambled from Andrews [Air Force
Base]?
You spend billions and billions with spooks all over the world and surely
you should have known what was going on. And, so I began to be
concerned about that. And then questions were raised by others. Why
did the President just sit in the schoolroom when he heard the news?
