Trump,UFO Disclosure, and the PURSUE Program

Grantand Desta discuss reports about a new initiative intended toencourage whistleblowers to share information about UFOs directlywith the presidential administration. They explore concerns raised byresearcher and attorney Danny Sheehan about whether whistleblowerscan trust the process, particularly if their testimony couldeventually reach the same intelligence organizations they fear.
