The Man Who Broadcast Secrets the Government Tried to Bury

The story of Bill Cooper, Behold a Pale Horse, and how a Navy UFO whistleblower went from Majestic 12 files to his infamous June 2001 radio warning. Long before his June 28, 2001 broadcast on The Hour of the Time, William "Bill" Cooper claimed he had witnessed a massive craft rise out of the Pacific Ocean in 1966 and later read classified Naval Intelligence files detailing secret alien treaties, Eisenhower's 1954 Palm Springs meeting, and a covert space program. His 1991 book, Behold a Pale Horse, became an underground phenomenon that spread from UFO conferences to prison cells and 1990s hip-hop records. This investigative documentary examines the complete paper trail behind Bill Cooper’s life and claims—comparing his recorded lectures, 1988 bulletin board posts, and shortwave radio archives against official US Navy submarine deck logs, declassified FBI memos, and Arizona state investigative records.
