George Napsource was this man, John Lear, famed aviator, son of the founder of the Lear jet and soon to be influential in the conversation on UFOs.
You're a member of the famous Lear family that all the vatins are pretty much familiar with his father had developed the Lear jet and he had a passion for secret planes.
And one day John Lear walks into the news station. This is in 1987 with a stack of documents, UFO documents. And he plops them on Ned Day's desk and he says, Ned, this is the biggest story you will ever cover in your life.
It's about a cover up of massive proportions. You're going to become famous. You got to do this story, pushes the documents over and Ned starts reading him and he pushes the pile back and he tells Lear, this can't be true.
If this was true, this UFO cover up, then I'd already know about it. He says, I'm Eve's dropping as I tend to do. And I said, Mr. Lear, let me take a look at that stuff.
Well, they just turned off again. Welcome back UFOs. Are they real? We're talking with John Lear on the subject.
So I try to educate myself and get ready for that next Lear appearance and the response from the public was even bigger.
According to John Lear this is the only snippet of real UFO footage that aired in the documentary.
John Lear's new friend not only knew what was going on out there he knew when and where to look to the skies.
Good evening this is John Lear.
That scientist was interviewed live on television in May 1989 from Lear's driveway.
What George didn't know was that this would be even bigger than John Lear it turned out to change everything we know about the government and UFOs.
I'm thinking who could we get to fill this I called up John Lear I said you said you had a guy who was going to work out there and maybe work on flying saucers in the desert.
We went up to Lear's house. It was sort of an uncomfortable situation in the beginning,
because Lear wanted to control the whole thing. He wouldn't tell us the guy's name.
But the guy had signed a guest book at the entrance to Lear's home.
