Caught this on the Megyn Kelly Show on October 17, 2025 following release of Age of Disclosure and Jesse Michels interview with the guy recruited to Project Preserve Destiny.
VDH is not a UFO guy. He's a classicist, reads ancient Greek, has spent his career building a deep understanding of Western civilization and history. Super smart guy. When presented with the UAP he says he's genuinely open-minded.
Then he says something that gets at why people like him have a hard time with this. If UAPs/NHI are real, it will force him to reinterpret history, religion, technology, warfare. Because his entire body of work is now incomplete and has a giant asterisk on it.
If UFOs are a thing, then of course presidents knew about them. And the Soviets knew, too. So how does one even begin to reinterpret the Cold War, or summit meetings, or the Cuban Missile Crisis or whatever.
This isn't exactly the same, but one of the challenges in trying to teach your kids to stay away from strangers is that kids have no idea what s*xual urges are, etc. It's this giant piece of information they are missing. And only after they go through puberty does it sort of unlock knowledge.
I think one of the reasons historians like VDH and even reporters stay away from this topic (apart from ridicule) is that the implications are too big to contemplate. It's overwhelming. Like how you feel when you have to pack up your staff for a move. It is much easier to think to yourself, "Carl Sagan said there's nothing to this, so I'll believe Carl." That was my worldview as well until about 16 months ago when I stumbled across reddit posts about the orbs over the military bases in the UK and had a holy f*** moment.

Don’t forget a lot of there technology is about monitoring and watching. So we’re gonna HD virtual reality video of Jesus’s sermon on the mount.
I think there’s gonna be a lot of interesting things to explore if we ever get to that point
This is all predicated on the assumption that NHI not only exists but was involved in earth’s history. Furthermore, this argument that scientists aren’t willing to learn something that updates their understanding is ludicrous. Heliocentrism updated astronomy and made it more accurate. Germ theory updated medicine and made it more accurate. Evolution updated biology and made it more accurate. To suggest that there is a collective aversion to new knowledge is an absurd attempt to undercut all of science.
Submission statement: The link included is an interview from the Megyn Kelly Show (October 17, 2025) where Victor Davis Hanson, classicist, military historian, not a UFO person, engages seriously with the UAP topic and ends up admitting he’s become less skeptical.
Academics have literally 0 power in this instance. This is anti-academic BS. Real academics would love this because it opens up more avenues of study.
Good! lol. Reality must prevail as the dominant force driving the pursuit of knowledge.
Neil de grasse must be a lil nervous.🤣
