Jeremy Corbell Says White House Consulting Him on UFO Disclosure Messaging

​At a cabinet meeting this morning, Pres. Donald Trump praised his administration for releasing UFO files because of their popularity on social media: “We're releasing a lot of information having to do with extraterential, terrestrial, uh, things,” Trump said, struggling to say the word “extraterrestrial.” “And, uh, people are totally fascinated by it. It’s amazing. I wasn’t sure if they would enjoy it. It’s literally trending number one. Can you believe it? So a lot of people out there like it.” His comments did not appear to signal any imminent announcement of alien life, despite claims from ufologists that presidential confirmation of ETs on earth is coming soon.

​Last night, UFO podcaster Jeremy Corbell, who is on a media tour promoting his new vanity documentary about himself as a UFO hero, told NewsNation that the communications departments from the Pentagon, the White House, and all of the government’s intelligence agencies have been in contact with him to seek his advice about how best to disclose the truth about UFOs and be “ahead of the eight ball,” in Corbell’s bizarre phrasing. “They want to know how to transmit this information to the American public—the fundamentals: We are not alone, or whatever it might be,” he said. Therein is probably the truth of the matter: They may have asked his advice on communicating about UFOs, but they almost certainly did not do so to announce aliens. The “whatever” hides a lot here, but probably the fact that no specifics were actually discussed. Corbell claimed that he discussed with them ways to clearly define UFO “terminology” with the public.

​Also last night, Lue Elizondo appeared on Jesse Watters’s Fox News primetime show to discuss what he claims is the government’s stash of dead aliens and crashed saucers. Elizondo was careful to attribute those claims to other people—the descriptions he gave heavily imply he is repeating the unfounded speculation of David Grusch, Kit Green, Hal Puthoff, Eric Davis, etc.—but also alleged that the aliens were recovered in the “late 1940s.” He repeated his references to the 1940s in discussing the Pentagon’s UFO files release—and confusing the first tranche of historical files with the second tranche of mostly recent videos:
 
“There was an absolute treasure trove of information contained in this second tranche of information,” Elizondo said. “The reality is that this is a topic that our government has been taking seriously for a very long time and would go to extreme lengths to try to cover it up. […] You had documents going back to the late 1940s demonstrating very clearly that the UAP—or what was known in the vernacular as the ‘UFO’—phenomenon is very real and is certainly a national security issue.”
 
The files actually showed that while the government took the issue seriously, the FBI and the Air Force repeatedly concluded that there was no evidence of space aliens. The documents also showed the difficulty the military experienced because they understood that many sightings were due to hysteria but were unwilling to admit that military pilots could be acting emotionally or irrationally while in the air.
 
The crashed alien claim is even less well supported. While it’s possible Elizondo is referencing the myth of the Roswell crash, that legend didn’t begin until the 1980s and is therefore not part of the recent UFO file release (save the original Roswell memo). It’s much more likely that he’s talking about an actual 1940s claim of recovered aliens—Frank Scully’s allegation of crashed saucers and dead bodies, derived ultimately from Silas Newton’s hoax. That claim is indeed in the UFO files, just as it has been since they were first released decades ago. The FBI concluded then that it was all a hoax.
 
Elizondo then praised Donald Trump, saying “this Administration means business,” despite the majority of the newly published UFO files being primarily material that had already been released decades ago.

The comments from Elizondo are remarkably similar to those of Trump, a known Fox News junkie, this morning and likely inspired the president to echo what he heard on cable news.
​
Update: The NASA administrator, Jared Isaacman, told Fox News ​in an interview published this afternoon that the government UFO files contain no crashed saucers or alien bodies. Instead, there are only sightings that remain unexplained because no one in government cared enough to look into them when they occurred.
