The US government has key evidence of possible close encounters with UFOs but has been hiding it for years, according to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

The 80-year-old politician claimed in a new documentary, “The Phenomenon,” that “there’s more than one up there” and even believes they may have interfered with American weapons.

Asked if he was saying that “there’s some evidence that still hasn’t seen the light of day,” Reid insisted, “I’m saying most of it hasn’t seen the light of day.”

“We have it — it’s there,” continued the former Nevada senator, who instigated secret UFO programs in the Pentagon.

“They did everything they could to stop the program from going forward … they wanted nothing to do with this,” Reid said of the government’s resistance to his program trying to expose the truth.

“Nobody has to agree why it’s there. But shouldn’t we at least be spending some money to study all these phenomena? Shouldn’t we study this stuff? The answer is yes. That’s all this was about.

“And why the federal government all these years has covered up, put brake pads on everything, stopped it. I think it’s very, very bad for our country,” Reid said.

The documentary claims to be the “most credible and revealing film ever made” about UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena.

Lue Elizondo, former director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, called it “the most accurate and informative documentary ever made about UAPs.”

The documentary features numerous officials, as well as those claiming to have had their own close encounters.

“These things are real, they’re here — this is happening now,” former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Christopher Mellon told the documentary.
