David Ake, Reuters<br \/>\nNot a real alien, Crystal Graham is shown wearing an extraterrestrial<br \/>\ncostume in a 1997 contest at Roswell, New Mexico, where a UFO<br \/>\nallegedly crashed in 1947.<\/p>\n<p>\nA former Canadian defence minister says be believes advanced<br \/>\ntechnology from extraterrestrial civilizations offers the best hope to<br \/>\n&quot;save our planet&quot; from the perils of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>\nPaul Hellyer, 83, is calling for a public disclosure of alien<br \/>\ntechnology obtained during alleged UFO crashes &#8212; such as the<br \/>\nmysterious 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico &#8212; because he believes<br \/>\nalien species can provide humanity with a viable alternative to fossil<br \/>\nfuels.<\/p>\n<p>\nMr. Hellyer has been a public UFO advocate since September 2005 when<br \/>\nhe spoke at a symposium in Toronto. But with concern over global<br \/>\nwarming at an all-time high, and Canadian political parties struggling<br \/>\nto out-green one another, Mr. Hellyer said governments and the<br \/>\nmilitary have a responsibility to &quot;come clean on what they know&quot; now<br \/>\nmore than ever.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;Climate change is the No. 1 problem facing the world today,&quot; he said.<br \/>\n&quot;I&#8217;m not discouraging anyone from being green conscious, but I would<br \/>\nlike to see what (alien) technology there might be that could<br \/>\neliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation &#8230; that<br \/>\ncould be a way to save our planet.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nMr. Hellyer will be discussing his views at the upcoming screening of<br \/>\na new UFO documentary called Fastwalkers, in Toronto&#8217;s De La Salle<br \/>\nCollege Theatre on March 7.<\/p>\n<p>\nMr. Hellyer, a former Liberal cabinet minister, political turncoat and<br \/>\none-time leadership candidate for the Liberal and Conservative<br \/>\nparties, said UFO researchers have amassed undeniable evidence that<br \/>\naliens have visited our planet. Due to the distance such spacecrafts<br \/>\nwould have to travel, UFOs must be equipped with some kind of advanced<br \/>\nfuel source or propulsion system, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;We need to persuade governments to come clean on what they know,&quot; he<br \/>\nsaid. &quot;Some of us suspect they know quite a lot, and it might be<br \/>\nenough to save our planet if applied quickly enough.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nMichael De Robertis, an astronomer at York University and and member<br \/>\nof the Ontario Skeptics Society for Critical Inquiry, said there is<br \/>\n&quot;little or no compelling evidence&quot; that we have been visited by beings<br \/>\nfrom another planet.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;If (Mr. Hellyer) wants to broker some kind of communication, that<br \/>\nwould be great,&quot; he said. &quot;But I think the probability that there is<br \/>\nsomeone out there for him to make contact with is highly improbable.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nBut if aliens have indeed visited Earth, there is no doubt their<br \/>\ntechnical knowledge could benefit humanity, Mr. De Robertis added.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;To have travelled hundreds of trillions of kilometres, interstellar<br \/>\nvisitors would, at a minimum, require a civilization that is thousands<br \/>\n&#8212; if not millions &#8212; of years ahead of our own. One would imagine<br \/>\nthey went through their own fossil fuel era, and that they solved it<br \/>\nand didn&#8217;t go through some kind of pollution holocaust.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;There is no doubt they would have different solutions, different<br \/>\nfuels and different energy sources.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nFastwalkers claims to feature more than 30 witnesses testifying to the<br \/>\nreality of alien visitations, including former military and government<br \/>\nintelligence personnel.<br \/>\n\u00a9 The Ottawa Citizen 2007<\/p>\n<p>\nCopyright \u00a9 2007 CanWest Interactive, a division of CanWest MediaWorks<br \/>\nPublications, Inc..

Look at him.<\/p>\n<p>\nThere&#8217;s a man who has never run for a bus.<\/p>\n<p>\nAll that gushing, honey love spread over him by other rich and famous<br \/>\npeople at the Oscars worries me, too. Watch for a new hole in the<br \/>\nozone 20 klicks above the Kodak Theatre.<\/p>\n<p>\nNow the radio says Gore&#8217;s mansion in Tennessee devours $30,000 a year<br \/>\nin hydro and gas, at a clip 20 times the U.S. average.<\/p>\n<p>\nIf this emperor has no clothes, why should he? His thermostat is set<br \/>\non high.<\/p>\n<p>\nSo if not Al Gore, who will save us from drowning in glacial melt and<br \/>\nkeep beach resorts from Nunavut?<\/p>\n<p>\nI find one answer in the lakefront office tower where my mom happens<br \/>\nto hang her shingle.<\/p>\n<p>\nHon. Paul Hellyer. Remember him? Defence minister under Pearson.<br \/>\nLiberal leadership contender. Trudeau&#8217;s transport minister. The<br \/>\nBelinda Stronach of his day. Grit. Tory. Grit. He even toyed with the NDP.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8216;OPEN YOUR EYES&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\nThese days he dallies with another airy acronym. UFO.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;Open your eyes,&quot; he tells me. &quot;Two days of research and you&#8217;ll<br \/>\nbelieve it too.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nI will ask the United Airlines workers who saw a big, metallic Frisbee<br \/>\nover Chicago&#8217;s O&#8217;Hare airport last November.<\/p>\n<p>\nI will not ask the air traffic controller who quipped: &quot;To fly 7<br \/>\nmillion light years to O&#8217;Hare and then have to turn around and go home<br \/>\nbecause your gate was occupied is simply unacceptable.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhat have UFOs to do with global warming, or the GTA gas shortage?<\/p>\n<p>\nThey&#8217;re the cure, says Hellyer, 83. Here&#8217;s how he sees it:<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen a UFO crashed in Roswell, N.M., in 1947 (oh, stop being such a<br \/>\ncynic), it offered a techno treasure trove.<\/p>\n<p>\nFrom that wreck, and 77 others, the military gleaned hardware that was<br \/>\nout of this world.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe micro-chip, for instance. Bullet-proof vests. Fibre-optics.<br \/>\nTupperware. (Just kidding). Lasers. Star Wars weaponry.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;And particle guns.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhat?<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;High voltage. They fire something like controlled lightning.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nAha. Ray guns.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;Yes. The U.S. air force probably has them by now.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe big prize, though, is what makes those saucers fly.<\/p>\n<p>\nImagine a vehicle that does 30,000 km\/h or hovers on a dime,<br \/>\nregardless of whether Esso has any gas.<\/p>\n<p>\nNO GREENHOUSE GAS<\/p>\n<p>\nBest of all, no exhaust. No stench. No smog. No greenhouse gas. No ice<br \/>\ncap melt. No drowned continents. No Al Gore?<\/p>\n<p>\nThe U.S. must have figured out the aliens&#8217; propulsion by now, says<br \/>\nHellyer.<\/p>\n<p>\nLikely it is zero point energy, an idea floated by Einstein, which is<br \/>\ninfinite, pollution free and exists all around us.<\/p>\n<p>\nThink of it as you queue for rationed gas.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe perfect fuel.<\/p>\n<p>\n(Or is it? Why do flying saucers keep crashing?)<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve gone public. I want the Americans to tell us if they<br \/>\nhave it. Or how close they are.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;The people of the world have the right to know, too. To save this<br \/>\nplanet.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd if the Americans haven&#8217;t figured it out?<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;Instead of trying to shoot down those guys, we should invite them<br \/>\ndown to tell us what we need to know.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhich guys?<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;The aliens. I&#8217;m told there&#8217;s more than one species.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nHow do we get them to come?<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;I&#8217;m told there have been face-to-face communications.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nI wait for him to cackle or make monkey sounds or jump on the desk of<br \/>\nhis lakeview office. But Hellyer has unwavering, sane eyes, pale and<br \/>\nclear. He is 6-foot-3 and every inch a gent.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe will be on hand next Wednesday for the Toronto screening of the UFO<br \/>\ndocumentary Fastwalkers, so called for a military code name. (See<br \/>\nexopoliticstoronto.com).<\/p>\n<p>\nHellyer has never seen a UFO. &quot;I&#8217;ve never seen the Taj Mahal either,<br \/>\nbut I know it&#8217;s real.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nMaybe he is right. Maybe oil execs are not the only slimy green men in<br \/>\nthe energy business.<\/p>\n<p>\nBeam me up, Scottie.<\/p>\n<p>\nAnything&#8217;s better than a buck a litre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exopolitics Toronto Press Update Feb 28, 2007 The Ottawa Citizen and Toronto Sun Interviews of Paul Hellyer.
