Biography

The highest-ranking government official in the world to publicly state that extraterrestrials exist and visit Earth. A long-serving Canadian Liberal politician —he led the unification of the Armed Forces as Defence Minister in the 1960s— from 2005 until his death he maintained at symposia, hearings, and interviews that the military-industrial complex conceals recovered craft, going so far as to name alleged species and alien 'federations'. His singularity is the declarant's rank; his limit, that he never displayed a single document and that his specific cosmology belongs to the contactee tradition, not to institutional evidence.
