Alien technology the best hope to 'save our planet:' ex-defence boss

Alien technology the best hope to 'save our planet:' ex-defence boss
Governments must reveal what they know, says Paul Hellyer

A former Canadian defence minister says be believes advanced technology from extraterrestrial civilizations offers the best hope to "save our planet" from the perils of climate change.

Paul Hellyer, 83, is calling for a public disclosure of alien technology obtained during alleged UFO crashes -- such as the mysterious 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico -- because he believes alien species can provide humanity with a viable alternative to fossil fuels.

Mr. Hellyer has been a public UFO advocate since September 2005 when he spoke at a symposium in Toronto. But with concern over global warming at an all-time high, and Canadian political parties struggling to out-green one another, Mr. Hellyer said governments and the military have a responsibility to "come clean on what they know" now more than ever.

"Climate change is the No. 1 problem facing the world today," he said. "I'm not discouraging anyone from being green conscious, but I would like to see what (alien) technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation ... that could be a way to save our planet."

Mr. Hellyer will be discussing his views at the upcoming screening of a new UFO documentary called Fastwalkers, in Toronto's De La Salle College Theatre on March 7.

Mr. Hellyer, a former Liberal cabinet minister, political turncoat and one-time leadership candidate for the Liberal and Conservative parties, said UFO researchers have amassed undeniable evidence that aliens have visited our planet. Due to the distance such spacecrafts would have to travel, UFOs must be equipped with some kind of advanced fuel source or propulsion system, he said.

"We need to persuade governments to come clean on what they know," he said. "Some of us suspect they know quite a lot, and it might be enough to save our planet if applied quickly enough."

Michael De Robertis, an astronomer at York University and and member of the Ontario Skeptics Society for Critical Inquiry, said there is "little or no compelling evidence" that we have been visited by beings from another planet.

"If (Mr. Hellyer) wants to broker some kind of communication, that would be great," he said. "But I think the probability that there is someone out there for him to make contact with is highly improbable."

But if aliens have indeed visited Earth, there is no doubt their technical knowledge could benefit humanity, Mr. De Robertis added.

"To have travelled hundreds of trillions of kilometres, interstellar visitors would, at a minimum, require a civilization that is thousands -- if not millions -- of years ahead of our own. One would imagine they went through their own fossil fuel era, and that they solved it and didn't go through some kind of pollution holocaust.

"There is no doubt they would have different solutions, different fuels and different energy sources."

Fastwalkers claims to feature more than 30 witnesses testifying to the reality of alien visitations, including former military and government intelligence personnel.

© The Ottawa Citizen 2007 This guy is a former defense minister. He should know. They have a defense department in Canada? I thought the US was Canada's defense department.

Well anyway, I don't know about you guys but I think this is brilliant. How come the global warming scientists couldn't come up with this kind of practical solution? They just scream hysteria...this guy is a problem solver.

He says that the evidence of alien visitation is overwhelming, so....I mean...there's nothing else to argue about. Any one who would dispute this overwhelming evidence obvioulsy has their head in the sand with serious denial issues or is being paid $10,000 each by the oil companies to say otherwise.

oh you whacky canadians. If only us stingy americans would come off that alien technology we could end this nonsense about oil pollution.

Sorry Mr. Defense Minister, most of the UFO's are actually U.S military technology.

That technology was devoped for the purpost of blowing shit up... not to save the planet.



If there were aliens that have visited Earth (yes quite a stretch) why would one conclude that they brought their greenhouse gas supervac with them on an exploratory mission?

This is about the funniest bit of odd news I've heard lately. Not only is the guy insane enough to have this conspiracy theory. He's insane enough to cry out to the world thinking he's saving us by intimating his own version of reality.

Who made this man the Defense Minister of Canada??

Who made this man the Defense Minister of Canada??

Lester B. Person, the father of modern 'peacekeeping'.

But according to Wiki this 'defence minister' became convinced of ET after reading U.S. Army Colonel Philip J. Corso's book The Day After Roswell!

Who made that guy a Colonel?

While getting a good laugh out of this guys absurdity is fine, was the dig at the Canadian military really necessary?

They're the ones taking the hits in Kandahar. Show some respect.

Is this the same guy that was talking about people clogging up the tubes of the internet?

I thought it was kind of funny. It wasn't a dig, it was a joke. We do have their back you know, actually, their front too. Was that another dig?

Looks like Canada is turning into a communist nation. Heres their new flag

[funnyPasds]

I've seen the movie Independence Day. So, I know for a fact that we have aliens held in gigantic glass tubes at Area 51 in New Mexico. Now listen, those aliens know shit. Alien shit. THe kinda alien shit they know could help save the goshdarned planet! But, that fucker George Bush, he's not allowing the shit the aliens know to go public! Ergo, GW BUSH is screwing the entire world!!!! that fucker, GW Bush!!!!

Yeah, Alex! And if you are so sick of watching Independence Day, watch Men In Black! Another fine alien film starring the venerable Will Smith! George Bush isn't letting us into that cool place under the Brooklyn Bridge either. Damn him!

While I am aware of and thankful to the US that they do in fact have our back, where exactly do they have our front?
