Claims about UFOs and ETs:

Paul Hellyer claimed that various extraterrestrial species have been visiting Earth for thousands of years and that several governments, including the Canadian and US governments, are aware of these visits and are withholding relevant information. He stated that there are up to 80 different extraterrestrial species, some of which "look just like us" and could live among us undetected. Hellyer emphasized that these extraterrestrial civilizations would be willing to help humanity if we ceased our belligerent actions.

Role of the person in the UFO scene:

As Canada's former Minister of Defense, Hellyer was the highest-ranking government official of a G7 country to publicly acknowledge the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial visitors. His statements caused an international stir and helped keep the topic of UFOs in the public spotlight. He participated in various conferences and events, advocating for transparency and the disclosure of government information on extraterrestrial contact.

Profit interest:

Hellyer published several books outlining his views on political, economic, and extraterrestrial issues, including Light at the End of the Tunnel: A Survival Plan for the Human Species .
