Couldn't decide if this should go in the free energy or UFO or one of 'end of civilization' threads, so decided to make a new one.
Exopolitics is
"The art or science of government as concerned with creating or influencing policy toward extraterrestrial phenomena and extraterrestrial beings."

It all sounds pretty far fetched. But the one thing I find interesting about this area is the Disclosure Project - a group of mostly high-ranking ex-armed forces and defense people, Apollo astronauts and NASA scientists, who have come together to demand the US government goes public with all of its knowledge about UFOs and free energy sources.
They deliberately haven't got involved with any civilians who claim to have been abducted by aliens or whatever, they are only interested in witness who held some kind of position which would have given them access to inside info of some kind, and they have all stuck to this story for the last five-six years.
Every one of these witnesses swears the US government has free energy technologies they are sitting on, and are lobbying so that they can testify to all this in front of congress. I guess my question is, why would these people make all of this up? What's in it for them?
Free energy isn't being taken seriously by most scientists, but it's an area getting more attention what with Steorn's claim this August and Nikola Tesla becoming the new Che Guevara. Given the implications of the possibility of abundant energy sources, and the credibility of a lot of these people, shouldn't this be getting more attention in political circles?
Given the tin-foily hatness of this, it's probably not going to happen. But the ex-Canadian Secretary of Defense has joined ranks with these guys too.
Am I mad thinking there might be something to these claims?
Good Wikipedia entry on the disclosure project here:
