Pentagon Scientists Feared Public Awareness Would Let Non-Human Beings Enter Our Reality

What was said

"There was a scientist in the group who thought that if we— if the public became aware of this, it would enable these beings to come in on a— on a tide of belief. If a certain— if there's a certain— if they're from another reality, another dimension, or another parallel universe or something, it may be that a critical mass of us have to believe that they are as real as we are before they can walk freely among us."

Strieber disclosed that General Exon told him Pentagon scientists, possibly including John von Neumann on the Majestic 12 committee, believed public disclosure would act as a tripwire allowing interdimensional beings to physically manifest in our reality through mass belief. This theory suggests the secrecy is maintained because disclosure could open an irreversible door in human consciousness, explaining why presidents like Jimmy Carter refused to disclose after being briefed.
