Anchor Boris Sanchez requested former CIA Director Leon Panetta in regards to the Pentagon’s launch of UFO/UAP recordsdata on Friday’s version of NCS News Central.
President Donald Trump introduced the file launch on Truth Social, writing, “In an effort for Complete and Maximum Transparency, it was my Honor to direct my Administration to identify and provide Government files related to Alien and Extraterrestrial Life, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, and Unidentified Flying Objects.”
Trump added that “the people can decide for themselves, ‘WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?’”
“I’ve to ask you about this as a result of the Pentagon simply launched what they’re calling ‘never before seen files‘ on UFOs,” Sanchez began. “I imagine that as a member of Congress, as the secretary of defense, chief of staff at the White House — you’ve held a variety of jobs — CIA director. Is these things new to you? What are you aware about aliens, Secretary? Tell us!”
“Well, Boris, I can’t tell you how many times when I was secretary, I was asked about, are there really aliens out there? Do we have an alien ship?” Panetta mentioned.
“You know, some of the movies that portrayed that kind of thing going on — people were infatuated with that,” he continued. “And I’m sure these pictures that are being released will raise a lot more concern about whether or not, in fact, there are aliens. I just have to tell you, I’m not aware of the United States ever having decided that there, in fact, are aliens, and that there are spaceships that have come into our territory. So, I haven’t seen evidence to that effect, but, what, what the Pentagon is now doing is basically letting the American people make up their own minds.”
“What about your mind?” Sanchez pressed. “Is your mind made up? Do you think there are aliens out there?”
“I have not seen any firm evidence that there are aliens out there. I do think that some of our adversaries, very frankly, have technologies that have been used against us that appear to be alien, but in fact, are efforts by our adversaries to basically breach our security. That’s what I think has happened,” Panetta mentioned.
“Secretary, I thought this was going to end on a lighthearted note,” Sanchez mentioned. “You just scared me with that one, man. Uh, Leon Panetta, thanks so much for joining us.”
