Historian and researcher Richard M. Dolan, and journalist and screenwriter, Bryce Zabel, discussed the various scenarios that will follow an official acknowledgement of the existence of UFOs, ETs and alien contact. "If you believe that UFOs are real and you believe there is a cover-up," Dolan observed, "then the logical question is 'what happens if that secrecy were to end?'" While they did not put a timetable on when such revelations could happen, Zabel expressed optimism that disclosure could occur in his lifetime and was "pretty darn sure" that his children will see such a historic day.

Dolan theorized that the two most likely scenarios to fuel disclosure are either a mass sighting witnessed by many people and documented in many forms or a major 'Wikileaks' type of revelation. From there, Zabel suggested that the undeniable nature of the event could lead to documents being released as well as whistle blowers and foreign countries speaking out about the phenomenon, thus creating unstoppable momentum which builds towards official disclosure. "That may be the ultimate scenario," he mused, "where it's a little bit of everything." Once disclosure happens, Dolan said, the massive infrastructure of secrecy will become revealed to the public and the "intellectual elite" will be questioned as to how they could have overlooked the UFO phenomenon.

In looking at other potential events in the aftermath of disclosure, the pair stressed that how the world reacts to the news may have more to do with human nature than the actual revelation itself. In the immediate days following disclosure, Zabel surmised that there will be a period of self-induced panic by the general population as stores are emptied and communication systems are jammed. Beyond that, Dolan foresaw a "battle" between those who have kept the UFO reality a secret and the populace who will want to know how and why such knowledge had been withheld from the human race. Ultimately, Dolan warned, "disclosure is likely to be a very unsatisfying process for the world," since those with true UFO knowledge may not have all the answers and "for generations we're still going to be arguing" over the nature of the phenomenon.

Constitutional Crisis

In the first hour, author Bill Fawell talked about how the United States has been undermined by giving federal rights away to private interests. He pointed to the creation of the Federal Reserve as a usurpation of the "premiere Constitutional duty of Congress," that being the power to print and regulate the nation's money. Chillingly, Fawell contended that the United States may be on the precipice of a revolution, musing that such events are fueled by a governmental bankruptcy and an "accelerating cycle of debt." Ultimately, Fawell endorsed folding the Federal Reserve, returning the United States to a gold standard, breaking up the failed banks in America, and stronger enforcement of RICO laws in regards to financial malfeasance.
