Although many U.S. presidential candidates are discussing "aliens," the Daily Mail has a story about a candidate talking about aliens from potentially much farther away. According to the Daily Mail, Hillary Clinton has made a campaign promise to 'get to the bottom' of Area 51 if she should be elected President of the United States of America. Specifically, Clinton said that she would reveal the UFO truth:

"one way or another. Maybe we could have, like, a task force to go to Area 51."

"I think we may have been [visited already]. We don't know for sure."

The Daily Mail story is based on the report of an interview with the candidate published in the Conway Daily Sun newspaper of Conway, New Hampshire.

Do the contributors here think that extraterrestrials are a promising and important campaign topic? Or is there skepticism?

    Its strange that as camera have improved in quality and become more prevalent (most people carry a decent one in their pockets/handbags these days), that we still don't have any good videos of UFOs. Why would that be?

    If there are "visitors" and they want to stay semi-hidden, they may stay at the edge of detection and photography. More cameras just means they have to be more careful not turn on the funny glowy lights as often to run the abduction equipment, etc.

    Maybe the UFOs are sending VEIL signals [wikipedia.org] to disable digital cameras? :-)
