I heard about that one herehttp://mysteriousuniverse.org/category/podcasts/ It's amazing how widespread this kind of BS is.

Isn't Paul Hellyer, ex Canadian secretary of defence making similar claims? Maybe they did take it from him and just pretend it was/is Snowden also saying it.

Of course it seems close to BS or at least highly controversial. However, I do not like the tone or the possible motive of the article, most of all since the writer quotes "RationalWiki" which is even worse than Wiki (see other recent thread). It's the usual tactics applied by the "skeptics": exaggerate the claims (or pick those up who do it in this case) and make it so ridiculous that no one in the mainstream majority even dares to believe anything of it. It does not disprove for me that governments might have (had) contact with alien species in whatever way.
Moreover, since it is a news outlet of the declared main "enemy" Iran, it has a some bitter overtones and connotations for me.

You'll like the tone on this one better: (I did, anyway)

Sinera, I agree with your statement,
It does not disprove for me that governments might have (had) contact with alien species in whatever way. I feel, however, that some claims and publications are more credible than others. That said, I get really annoyed when news presenters present UFO stories as if it's all nonsense and, along other lines, I was once angered by the disrespectful way I heard interviewers speak to a bona fide medium, as if all mediums are shonksters.
