Paul Hellyer was a former Canadian Minister of National Defence and Deputy Prime Minister who, in the 2000s, became one of the highest-ranking former government officials in the world to publicly assert that extraterrestrial beings, which he claimed included multiple distinct species, visit Earth regularly.
Assessment
Hellyer’s cabinet-level credentials are not in question, but his specific claims about extraterrestrial contact go considerably further than the evidence-based, cautious statements typically offered by other senior former officials such as Christopher Mellon, and his assertions are generally treated by mainstream commentators as personal belief rather than disclosed government fact.
