The billionaire behind America’s UFO obsession

Описание: Why does it suddenly feel like UFO stories are everywhere again?

According to a 2024 Pentagon report, many of the modern claims trace back to the same small network of people.

The modern UFO conversation didn’t emerge out of nowhere.

According to the Pentagon’s 2024 historical review of UAP investigations, many of today’s most recognizable UFO narratives can be traced back through a connected network of individuals, organizations, and government-funded programs.

At the center of that story is Robert Bigelow — the billionaire founder of Bigelow Aerospace and owner of Skinwalker Ranch.

In the 1990s, Bigelow began funding paranormal and UFO-related research. Years later, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid helped secure a $22 million Defense Department contract connected to those efforts.

The Pentagon’s report later noted that many modern UFO claims “largely stem from a consistent group of individuals” tied to the same network of projects and organizations over time.

This video isn’t about proving or disproving UFO claims.

It’s about tracing a modern public narrative back to the original documents, institutions, and funding structures that helped shape it.

Because when a story suddenly seems to appear everywhere at once, it’s worth asking where it actually began.
