EDMONTON SUN: "Senate pressured to hold hearings on ET"

Senate pressured to hold hearings on ET
By SUN NEWS SERVICES
A number of groups have joined forces with former Canadian Defence Minister Paul
Hellyer in urging Parliament to hold public hearings on 'exopolitics' - or relations
with extraterrestrials (ETs).
Three non-governmental organizations (NGOs) were reacting to a speech made by
Hellyer in September in Toronto in which he warned that "UFOs are as real as the
airplanes that fly over your head.''
Hellyer said he is concerned the United States is preparing weapons for use against
the aliens and could get the whole world into an "intergalactic war.'' According to
Hellyer, the Americans' interest in returning to the moon is in part based on the
desire to build a forward military base there.
The three organizations backing Hellyer's request for hearings are the Institute for
Co-operation in Space (ICIS), the Toronto Exopolitics Symposium and the Disclosure
Project, a U.S.-based organization that has assembled high-level
military-intelligence witnesses of a possible ET presence.
Earlier this month, the Senate replied to the ICIS that their full agenda precluded
any hearings in the near future on ET issues.
"That does not deter us," one spokesman for the NGOs said, "We are going ahead with
our request to Prime Minister Paul Martin and the official Opposition leaders in the
House of Commons now, and we will re-apply to the Senate of Canada in early 2006.
"Time is on the side of open disclosure that there are ethical extraterrestrial
civilizations visiting Earth.''
