Hes not saying he was abducted by a UFO and probed or anything, but former President Clintons chief of staff John Podesta is lending his name to a new book on UFOs. Podesta has written the foreword for UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record by investigative journalist Leslie Kean, which will be released Aug. 10. Podesta has been on the record before as an advocate for the Pentagon to release classified government papers on UFO investigations. "It is time for the government to declassify records that are more than 25 years old and to ... provide scientists with data that will assist in determining the real nature of this phenomenon," he said back in 2002. Now, eight years later, Podesta is still -- as he puts it -- "curious." UFO enthusiasts say the inclusion of Podesta gives the book weight. Its credibility begins on the first page with John Podesta and continues with case studies of extraordinary quality to the very end, writes John L. Petersen, the founder and president of the Arlington Institute (a think tank for futurists).
