## Resource

After more than 50 years investigating the UFO phenomenon, Jonathan Caplan, KC is ready to share what he has uncovered. In this revealing conversation with Dr. Michael Salla and Jonathan Caplan discusses testimony from scientists, intelligence officers, military insiders and political figures from around the world. They examine the alleged 1933 UFO crash in Italy, Majestic 12 documents, secret crash-retrieval procedures, reverse-engineering programs and the growing conflict between Congress and the intelligence establishment. The conversation also touches on the Kennedy assassination, threats against whistleblowers, private defense contractors, the US Navy space fleet, the Galactic Federation and the possibility that non-human intelligence has been interacting with humanity for centuries. Caplan also explains why he believes full government disclosure is unlikely, and why the truth may have to come from researchers, witnesses and the public instead. Jonathan Caplan is the author of the new book “Not the Disclosure: UFOs, the World’s Best Kept Secret”. Join Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.
