How Harry Reid, ex-Nevada senator born near Area 51, spent final months demanding Biden reveal US government UFO secrets
FORMER Senate majority leader Harry Reid was at the center of efforts to transform the UFO debate into a serious political issue.
For decades, discussions about unidentified aerial phenomena were often restricted to the fringes of American politics.
Reid attended a series of meetings in the mid-1990s alongside real estate magnate Robert Bigelow, parapsychologist Hal Puthoff, and “avowed” ufologist Harrison Schmitt, Politico reports.
Bigelow wanted to talk about aliens and the politician was introduced to the real estate tycoon through renowned Nevada reporter and journalist George Knapp.
In a New York Times piece, Reid recalled that his staffers said: “Stay the hell away from this.”
