(The late) retired Command Sergeant Major Robert O. Dean discussed the reality of the alien presence, government disclosure policies, and classified information gleaned from years of research and time spent serving at the Supreme Headquarters Operations Center (SHOC), the NATO war room. Though Dean believes the universe is "crammed with intelligent life," he no longer spoke publicly on the extraterrestrial presence because, as he explained, people are not ready for the "theological implications." According to Dean, there is ample evidence to suggest that alien intelligences have not only visited our planet but have genetically manipulated humanity, as well as established every major religion on Earth.
Dean pointed out that "black government" agencies, like the MJ-12, actually do exist and seek to "control the reality of the massive extraterrestrial presence." He also shared the story of a rumored secret meeting between President Eisenhower and an alien being. Dean said the meeting did happen and there is a film of the event, which shows humanoid creatures exiting from a golden disc.
During the first hour, musician Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad shared his thoughts on music and television, stories from his career in one of the top-selling American rock bands of the 1970s, as well as a UFO encounter he experienced.
In 1968, Farner claimed to have seen a UFO hovering 100 yards away in a field across the street from his parents' house. He described the craft as disc-shaped, approximately 200 feet in diameter with "tiny lights twinkling around the middle of it." While staring up at the UFO, Farner explained, he felt a low rumble, and then the craft shot across the sky, leaving behind a large ring of smoke.
