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?

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I too have seen similar things, but with different colored lights and such. Also had black helicopters with search beams come snooping around the edge of the trees right where the crafts had passed over as well as military jets show up in the same flight path but higher. My biggest sightings were towards the end of 1994 with some smaller sightings many years before and some since.
In the biggest sighting, which was at night while I was standing outside watching meteor showers, there were 3 craft in this particular grouping which all came from different directions at very high speed then "locked" together into a tight formation then flew in one direction (directly towards Mt. Rainier) very slowly, leisurely almost as if sight-seeing. One of the craft, which formed the front-west corner of the perfect backwards-triangular formation, flew very slowly directly over me, perhaps 50 feet high. It was absolutely silent until it's center got directly over me then I felt a powerful deep thrumming vibration which was so strong that I could practically hear it. Then it quickly faded away as it continued on its way. Each of the front two craft had three large rectangular panels that would change colors (mostly white and red from what I recall), but the rear centered craft had a pattern of square/rectangular panels facing directly down with a central square panel parallel to the ground and the other panels connecting to it angling upwards at an angle kind of like the bottom of a very simple disco ball.
I have no idea who/what was piloting them, I only know that I witnessed the use of technology that no Nation or Company claimed to have, both back then and now. I had no camera available back then when it happened but god I wish I did.

My mistake; it was the Front-East corner craft, not the Front-West one. The Front-West one was flying over the edge of the tree-line whereas the Front-East one was flying over the row of houses where I was standing.
