UFO enthusiasts have their own PAC. The Extraterrestrial Phenomenon Political Action Committee is gathering signatures in the days leading up to President-Elect Obama's inauguration in an effort to get the new President to disclose military "contacts" with UFOs. The EP PAC believes that it is time for the US to open the so called "X-Files" to the American public, following Britain's example last year.
The EP group are optimistic because John Podesta, head of President-elect Obama's White House transition team, has voiced his support for opening the files to the public.
Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico is another UFO aficionado who is expected to have a cabinet position in President-elect Obama's administration. With Podesta and Richardson on board, the EP group believes they have a chance at getting the so-called X-Files released to the public.
The term "X-Files" name originated with the popular television show of that name. The US Air Force is said to have investigated sightings and reports of UFOs from 1947 until 1969 under a project known as Project Blue Book. UFO enthusiasts believe that Project Blue Book was "just a low level collection and disinformation program created under Project Sign (of December 1947) which evolved into Project Grudge (of December 1948) to cover up the true investigation in to the alien presence on Earth."
