After writing about the subject of alien disclosure I was flooded with social media videos. I decided to share the pain by sending SOME of this to Coleman Watts. So what did he do? He made an episode of Think This Through... and even contacted the Feds himself! youtu.be/0QcxwIKY3B0?...

Is UFO disclosure really imminent?
Or do we have to settle for the fictional version in 'Department of Truth' #28?
