DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE Jan C. Harzan
Moving from Disclosure to Confirmation
Twenty-nineteen promises to be a year of surprises for most people on this
planet. By my way of thinking, Disclosure occurred with the December 16, 2017,
New York Times article that revealed the Pentagon has been running a secret
UFO program for years. Then the program manager stepped out of government
and confirmed very publicly that not only are UFOs real,
they are not from this planet. Still many are waiting for what I call Confirmation
with a capital"C": Positive proof (as if gun camera footage of a UFO being chased by U.S.
fighter jets were not enough).
Regardless, when Confirmation comes, it will be great to finally
get everyone else on this planet on board. I'm looking forward to it.
Welcome to 2019 - possibly the Year of Confirmation!
