In this episode of From Hollywood, It’s Paranormal Tonight, host Dan Harary interviews Steven Bassett, longtime political activist and executive director of the Paradigm Research Group, about the ongoing fight for UFO and extraterrestrial disclosure. The episode explores Steven’s origin story, his passion for 2001: A Space Odyssey, his path from depression to becoming the first registered UFO lobbyist in Washington, and how the 1947 Roswell cover-up shaped 78 years of secrecy. Bassett discusses why disclosure is urgent, the intertwined history of nukes and UFOs, Hollywood’s role in shaping perception, and how new documentaries and conferences like Contact in the Desert are pushing the issue forward. The two also reflect on pop culture’s role—especially Spielberg and Close Encounters—in legitimizing public belief in ETs.
