Hillary Clinton Met With Laurance S. Rockefeller to Discuss UFOs
In 1995, then-first lady Hillary Clinton took a trip to the Rockefeller Ranch in Jackson, WY, where she met with billionaire philanthropist Laurance S. Rockefeller. Of the many things the two discussed that weekend, one topic became the focal point of media coverage and subsequent rumblings within the world of ufology—a project that became known as The Rockefeller Initiative.
Rockefeller was a known proponent of the UFO disclosure movement, having funded a number of projects to prove the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence. His pursuit in bringing this issue to Clinton’s attention quickly became obvious, marked by the now-famous image of the two walking in the woods, Clinton holding a copy of “Are We Alone: Philosophical Implications of the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life” by Paul Davies.
And while the Rockefeller Initiative was taken over by other ufologists after his death in 2004, Dr. Steven Greer says he had been involved in discussions with the late Rockefeller years before he famously met with the first lady.
Beginning in the early ‘90s, Dr. Greer began putting together materials from research he was conducting into the ET phenomenon. This consisted of countless reports from hundreds of government insiders, FAA personnel, and former military brass who wanted to come forward and testify in front of Congress about the uncanny, first-hand experiences they’d had with UFOs and ETs. Dr. Greer’s meticulous efforts would culminate in a public forum nearly a decade later at his highly publicized 2001 National Press Club event.
But according to Dr. Greer, the Rockefeller Initiative was born from this work he had conducted under the name Project Starlight. His efforts were meant to inform top government officials of information being withheld from them, whether they were aware of it or not, by clandestine groups within the military-industrial complex, intelligence community, and other secretive government agencies.
Through programs known as Unacknowledged Special Access Projects (USAPs), small cadres within these aforementioned groups have been withholding information on ETs and their highly advanced technologies, from ranking leaders as high as the Director of the CIA. Acting in complete autonomy, while earmarking copious amounts of money from the intelligence community’s “black budget,” USAPs were able to maintain almost complete secrecy from the public and its elected officials.
And what was the motivation behind this? Utter greed, according to Dr. Greer, who claims these advanced extraterrestrial technologies would spell the end of fossil fuels, war, and the desire to weaponize space by elite ruling classes who use these means of resource scarcity and fear to control the masses.
Among the myriad government officials and intelligence directors Dr. Greer briefed with this information, he says he received mixed reactions; some immediately embraced the importance of getting the information out, while others were reticent or fearful of what that could imply. Rockefeller, on the other hand, was supportive, as this may have been the catalyst that led to the Rockefeller Initiative and his discussions with Clinton that continue to keep this information at the forefront of the public’s attention today.

Scientist's Claim of UFO Fuel Source Verified Decades Later
Bob Lazar—perhaps no other name is as provocative in ufology as the man who introduced the world to the government’s most classified military facility, colloquially known as Area 51. Claiming to have once been employed at a secret test site in the Nevada desert, Lazar alleges he worked to reverse engineer one of nine alien spacecraft he says are hidden there.
The story begins in the 1980s, when Lazar was contracting as a physicist at Los Alamos National Labs in New Mexico — the infamous home of the Manhattan Project where the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were designed. Prior to his employment at Los Alamos, Lazar claims to have studied physics at MIT, and electronic technology at CalTech.
While at Los Alamos, Lazar recounts a process in which he was heavily vetted and specifically asked about his interests outside work, including the construction of a particle accelerator he built in his master bedroom. Soon, he said, he was tapped by military defense contractor EG&G to conduct highly-secretive work at a clandestine site within Area 51 known as S-4. Lazar says his superiors worked to get him what they called a “Majestic” clearance level in order to enter the facility.
In 1989, Lazar decided to blow the whistle and share his story on Las Vegas news station KLAS-TV, obfuscating his face and using the pseudonym “Dennis,” in an exposé with investigative reporter George Knapp. Eventually, he would shoot a follow-up with his face and true identity exposed, while also revealing that “Dennis” was the name of his alleged supervisor at S-4.
Since then, Lazar has been in some way related to countless attempts to either prove or debunk the conspiracy that the U.S. government (and/or a defense contractor) is in possession of highly advanced spacecraft not of this world, and that it has kept this knowledge hidden from the public for decades.
