Are UFOs trivial enough for Congress?
by Billy Cox
More than a decade after leaving the Clinton White House, former Office of Science and Technology Policy director John Gibbons still gets dyspeptic over the mention of that annoying UFO business in the 1990s. Or at least, his office does.

It’s a cautionary tale about how a persistent zillionaire thought he could use his connections to uncover hidden government UFO stash. The online paper trail details how, for three futile years, Laurance Rockefeller’s lobbying efforts with the executive branch laid goose eggs. It titillates us with President Clinton’s coy public pass at the issue in 1995, and with the ex post facto admission by former deputy attorney general Webster Hubbell that he went on a fishing expedition for evidence of a UFO coverup for his boss and came up empty. And throughout the ordeal, OSTP’s Gibbons was doing his best to placate Rocky while masking his irritability over having to field non-specific charges that ET dynamite was ticking away in the classified cellars and attics.
Fifteen years later, the Obama administration will no doubt plead igannance about the contentious UFO subculture asterisk known as the “Rockefeller Initiative.” But that won’t stop lobbyist Steve Bassett from pressing the point with his impending “We The People” petition to the White House.
Still smarting from its rejection of his petition claim that the feds are concealing knowledge of an “extraterrestrial presence” (the OSTP replied it had “no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public’s eye” or “that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race”), Bassett is about to squeeze another trigger. On Dec. 1, his latest petition will “demand” a “full congressional investigation of UFO/ET Disclosure efforts by the Clinton OSTP – the Rockefeller Initiative.”
