UFO believers back Bill Richardson for a Cabinet post

The truth is out there, some believe. And Bill Richardson might just be the guy to help release that truth.

According to an article in the Sunday Telegraph, extra-terrestrial life aficionados are all behind a Richardson Cabinet-level appointment in an Obama administration. And they want Richardson to use his potential new position in Barack Obama’s Cabinet to help declassify so-called “X-Files.”

The paper calls New Mexico a “UFO hotspot,” referring to the infamous Roswell incident in 1947.

Gov. Richardson, a former presidential candidate and fellow UFO aficionado, has written a forward to a book on the so-called Roswell Incident in New Mexico, where campaigners believe an alien spacecraft crash landed near the town of Roswell in 1947 and that the corpses of humanoid aliens have been kept hidden under lock and key by the government.

He has called for full disclosure by the Pentagon of what really occurred and reiterated his belief that there had been a “cover-up” during a presidential debate last year.

While running for president, Richardson spoke to Chris Matthews who asked him about UFOs. The governor said he supported exploration of UFO incidents as a “tourism issue” for Roswell.

“There is no credible evidence,” Richardson told Matthews about the existence of UFOs.

“The federal government has not come clean on all that issue and should,” Richardson said, causing Chris Matthews to incredulously ask if Richardson was saying there was a cover-up.

Richardson, it should be noted, has said repeatedly that he does not believe there are UFOs.
