    Does NASA have anything to declassify that would be of interest to viewers of this program? I’m not aware of anything that we would have at NASA to declassify, other than to say that I’m as interested in the president’s message as probably any other space enthusiast out there. Now, I will say, having spent 10 years leading a defense contracting company, we operated fighter jets all across the country simulating bad guy capabilities. Say, look, there are a lot of, as you would expect, exquisite capabilities that we have as a nation for national security purposes that we have developed. All we have to do is look to the history books. SR-71 was a pretty wild capability in the 1960s. Nobody would have imagined that F-117 was pretty wild. So do I think that there are probably capabilities we have as a nation that we developed, and our adversaries, that can do some pretty impressive things? Sure, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that were —— So that puts you in the camp that says a lot of the U.A.P., U.F.O. encounters and also vapors around it are covers for human technologies? Yes, I would say, generally speaking, I think there are some that I’m aware of that were very easily explainable by — not even phenomenon, like, this was a weather balloon that had great range that reflected — I know those conclusively. I also know conclusively some of them were related to test programs that were out there. I mean, look, people misidentified a lot of what was flying in the 1960s and ’80s in the middle of the desert with lights on at night looks strange. Turned out it was B-2. Turned out it was F-117. So I’m not surprised that that could potentially fall in it. I would also ask people, again, this is a good kind of Occam’s razor thing. If there was intelligent life that visited us from another world, where would you be interested in going to observe us? I mean, Times Square seems like a good spot. The Las Vegas Strip seems like a good spot. I mean, there’s got to be interesting areas. Why would you always pick our naval bases? Why would you pick off the coast of Virginia or San Diego or Hawaii? That probably signals it’s more of a national security interest.
