This would be bad for us and bad for them too.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have seen a UFO, about 120 miles north of Toronto, over Lake Muskoka,&#8221; Hellyer said. The UFO &#8220;just looked like a star &#8230; we watched it until our necks almost broke. It was definitely a UFO, because it could change position in the sky by 3 or 4 degrees in 3 or 4 seconds. &#8230; There was no other explanation for it except that it was the real thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Star of Bethlehem, he added, was one of God&#8217;s flying saucers.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the number of known alien species has leapt from &#8220;between two and 12&#8221; to as many as 80, said Hellyer, the senior cabinet minister from Pierre Trudeau&#8217;s 1968 cabinet. &#8220;They have different agendas. Maybe all of us on earth should have have the same agenda. &#8230; Nearly all of them are benign, but one or two are not, and that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m investigating now.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To be kind, I wasn&#8217;t a fan of Paul Hellyer even before he started talking about aliens: Paul Hellyer was Canada&#8217;s Minister of Defense in the mid-1960s.
