The outgoing adviser to the current US President Obama (2015) at his last Friday presentation at the White House, recalled his best moments and his biggest failures from last year. He mentioned, among other things, that the Americans had failed to inform the truth about the presence of the aliens.

Podest's long-term interest in the issue of extraterrestrial civilizations is very well known. In 2002, a conference was organized Coalition for Freedom of Information. Podesta at the conference talked about the importance of government disclosure of the presence of extraterrestrial civilizations in public.

"It's time to find out the real reality - out there," he said. "It simply came to our notice then. We should do it - quite frankly, because Americans will kidnap the truth. And we should do it because it's in accordance with the law. "

He recalled after Podest's note on Tweetra, which he sent on Friday The Washington Post part of a report published by Podesta in 2007. Karen Tumulty asked Podesta what the truth was that the Clinton Library in Little Rock (Arkansas, USA) was bombed on the basis of the Act on Free Access to Information. The applicants sought e-mail correspondence from the former Chief of General Staff. Specifically, they were correspondence that contained keywords such as X-Files and / or Area 51. Podesta replied through a spokesman: "The truth is out there somewhere", which is a quote from the introductory titles of the cult television series X-Files (with us like The X-Files), in which Podesta is known as a big fan.

In 2010, an editorial for the Missouri Columbia Tribune reported that Podesta had asked the named UFO photographer to stop publicly discussing his knowledge of extraterrestrial activities.

"One wonders why Podesta changed his approach so radically when he previously advocated exposing ET to the public," the editorial added. Although in the opinion of the editorial it might seem that Podesta changed his mind, in the same year he wrote a preface to the book: UFOs, Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials at Interrogation.
