What was said
"He goes, listen, I got a new job. I have a higher clearance level than the president. Aliens are real. They're here, and I've seen them. Reality is not what we know."
Brent Friedman recounts how John Harrington, who became Reagan's Secretary of Energy, disclosed to him in 1981 at age 18 that aliens are real and that he had seen them after being briefed in an underground West Virginia facility. Harrington said he cried himself to sleep nightly during briefings and warned this wasn't the world he thought he was bringing his daughters into. Whistleblower David Grusch recently attempted to get Harrington's testimony for Congress.
