SUMMARY: We are honored to be able to welcome a man of Hellyer’s stature on Open Minds Radio. Beginning in 1963, Hellyer served as the Minister of National Defence for Canada. During this time he oversaw the unification of their Navy, Army, and Air Force into a single organization called the Canadian Forces. After his retirement, influenced by a Peter Jennings special on UFOs, Hellyer read Col. Corso’s book, The Day After Roswell, in which Corso claims to have handled material from the Roswell craft. Hellyer confirmed Corso’s story with an U.S. General. Already an opponent of the weaponizing of space, Hellyer has since chastised the U.S. for withholding the truth, and having an aggressive stance on the ET presence.

SUMMARY: EXCLUSIVE, his first American interview. For many years now piles of a very fine-grained white powder have been appearing in conjunction with a number of strange events around Robbert van den Broeke of Holland. The first incident occurred in 1997 when a large light-ball suddenly appeared, rotating outside the balcony of Robbert’s bedroom. When it was gone there were burn marks left on the overhanging eaves & the outsides of the balcony doors–and the white material was splashed on the balcony floor. This event was the impetus behind BLT’s introduction to Robbert and his family. Nancy Talbott will be on to share her research on this incredible case.
