James Clapper was Director of National Intelligence and Jay Stratton was director of the UAP task force. One of the main issues with the idea of proof being disclosed to the public is that it’s classified. These are two of the most prominent people to come forward to have knowledge of these programs and classified records. While they’re not going to pull out a classified folder to show on film, they can vouch that such programs exist and that claims of NHI and non-human origins of UAP are real. The fact that the story is the same, but validated by people higher up in organizations than those that spoke before them is advancing the conversation.

And advancing the discussion is not the same as providing proof. If you want proof then pressure law makers to pass more laws like the UAP Disclosure Act or you can do research and file FOIAs. Many are discouraging testimony because it’s been said before, but that just creates a stigma on the topic as a whole. Evidence won’t be released if no one is interested. A film like this, which is being featured at SXSW, will stir up more interest and with luck help create political pressure to release records of the programs and history being alleged.
