(...)By "enough support," the administration means a petition has to receive just 5,000 signatures within 30 days to warrant an official White House response. That's a low enough threshold to get a lot of conspiracy theorists licking their suspicious chops.
As soon as the White House announced its We the People program, UFO/ET proponent Stephen Bassett wasted no time penning the first alien disclosure petition which reads:
We, the undersigned, strongly urge the president of the United States to formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race and immediately release into the public domain all files from all agencies and military services relevant to this phenomenon.
Bassett is executive director of Paradigm Research Group which advocates for the truth about UFOs.
"In 1996, when I launched the Paradigm Research Group, I registered as a lobbyist on behalf of a number of organizations on this particular subject -- the idea of total disclosure of an ET presence on Earth by the world governments," Bassett told The Huffington Post.
"Everything PRG does, including World Disclosure Day -- all of it contributes to this process."

It's my belief that the UFO problem is beyond the control of the office of the presidency. Something tells me it belongs to a higher, more secretive jurisdiction - and probably has for awhile now. So I agree, I don't see much coming from it either. It's not Obama's call to make.

So i guess my question for everyone would be, what would have to be done to force them?

Um, no. The UFO community has done that to themselves. What little the government has done to confuse the issue PALES in comparison to the DAILY damage the legions of ignorant enthusiasts inflict. Seriously think about that, let it sink in before you react to what I just said.....read the thread titles alone on the first page of this very forum and ask yourself "what does the government even need to do to cover this up when this garbage is put out there on an hourly basis?"

What needs to happen is for the MSM to be falling over themselves to get the scoop to bring this story to air. In order for that to happen there needs to be serious public demand. In order for that to happen we need to clean house and get rid of the ignorance that makes us look like a laughing stock, then start all over establishing credibility. That is the only way. But that will never happen.
