Former senator isn't surprised by the new UFO tapes

Reid's fascination with the possibility of alien life and the existence of UFOs dates back decades -- and is directly tied to a wealthy Nevadan named Robert Bigelow. Bigelow's father, as well as several other wealthy businessmen, were killed in a plane crash in the 1960s. His grandparents were convinced a UFO had something to do with it. And so Bigelow, as he got older and wealthier, would hold conferences on the subject of UFOs and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Reid attended one of the seminars and, as he told New York magazine in 2018: "It was really fascinating quite frankly because there were people trying to figure out what all this aerial phenomenon was. Bigelow knew I was interested."

Now, what's important to remember here is that Reid isn't saying beyond a shadow of a doubt that UFOs and alien life forms (or ALF, for short) actually exist. He's simply saying that there's enough evidence to warrant further investigation.

"I personally don't know if there exist little green men places," Reid told a local Nevada radio station last year. "I kind of doubt that, but I do believe the information we have indicates we should do a lot more study."
