Clinton Campaign Chair: 'The American People Can Handle The Truth' On UFOs (usatoday.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the UFO-sighting dept.

An anonymous reader writes: In what seems like an April Fools' Day prank story but is surprisingly real, Hillary Clinton's campaign chair, John Podesta, says that he has convinced Hillary Clinton to declassify as many documents as possible related to Area 51 and UFOs. On the matter of alien visitation, Clinton has previously stated that "I think we may have been [visited already]. We don't know for sure." Meanwhile, Democratic rival Bernie Sanders has been dismissive of UFO talk. And on the other side of the isle, everyone surely already knows how likely Republican nominee Donald Trump feels about illegal aliens. "The U.S. government could do a much better job in answering the quite legitimate questions that people have about what's going on with unidentified aerial phenomena," said John Podesta, who was also a chief of staff to President Bill Clinton.

    No, he was talking about the other side of the isle. Pen Island, to be exact, where they sell pens online through penisland.com

    About one-tenth of the time, Hillary Clinton seems to me to say things that aren't logical, or don't make much sense.

    So, basically, she's the polar opposite of Trump?

    What if the truth is that Monica is an alien?

    Many will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claimed that an unidentified object with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico.
    This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and the federal government.
    However, you may NOT know that in the month of March 1948, exactly nine months after that historic day, Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., Hillary Rodham, John F. Kerry, William Jefferson Clinton, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Charles E. Schumer, and Barbara Boxer were born.

    See what happens when aliens breed with sheep.. This piece of information may clear up a lot of things .
