Disclosure: Declassified UFO footage raising questions and hopes for answers

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (KESQ) - Dozens of newly-declassified videos of Unidentified Flying Objects. The Pentagon says they're incidents the government still cannot explain. I-Team investigator Peter Daut spoke with some of the nation's top UFO experts who are speaking out about what they're calling the biggest disclosure in human history.

More than three thousand people gathered this week at "Contact in the Desert," the nation's largest UFO conference held in Indian Wells. The question on everyone's mind: Are we finally getting closer to answers?

The latest batch of UFO files just released by the Pentagon includes 50 never-before-seen videos.

"This is the first time the government, officially, through the president and the Pentagon, is officially acknowledging that UFO's UAP's exist, which is huge," event organizer Dan Harary said.

The videos show unexplained objects in the skies above the US and around the world. Many of the objects appear to accelerate rapidly before suddenly changing course and disappearing. More than 200 files have now been made public under President Trump's order for what he calls "complete and maximum transparency."

"We've been heading towards this building of speed. We've gotten hearings, we've got witnesses coming forward, we've had legislation, none of that had happened before. We've got members of congress going in front of cameras saying, 'They're here. They're real,'" Stephen Bassett said. Bassett is the executive director of Paradigm Research Group, and has spent decades in Washington D.C. as a UFO lobbyist, working to declassify information about extraterrestrial life he's convinced the government holds. He believes the government is deliberately releasing information in stages, part of what UFO advocates call "disclosure," the eventual public acknowledgment of non-human intelligence.

Daut asked him: "So this is all leading to the president announcing there are aliens?" Bassett answered: "That's exactly where it's leading. This is the biggest event in human history as far as I'm concerned." Daut asked him: "There are a lot of people who roll their eyes at this, and kind of laugh at it. What do you say to those people?" Bassett answered: "The number of people who roll their eyes has been shrinking at warp speed for some time. The stigma is virtually completely gone."

That's a sentiment shared by attorney Danny Sheehan, who has represented former government officials who claim they were forced to suppress and withhold information related to UFO's and extraterrestrials. Daut asked him: "Do you think the government is currently in possession of UFO spacecraft and extraterrestrials?" Sheehan answered: "Oh yes, absolutely. And I've talked to people who have firsthand knowledge that it's true." Daut asked: "Is this all leading to disclosure?" Sheehan answered: "Yes, it's all leading to disclosure. As much as we can get the CIA and the Defense Department to agree to let go, but we've got to get the rest of it, because they won't do that unless they're coerced to do so and it's going to happen by Congress."

Currently, the government says it has found no evidence that any of the incidents involve extraterrestrials. But military officials say many of the incidents remain unresolved. The new batch of files can be found on the government website war.gov/ufo, which has already received more than a billion views.
