Steve Bassett

Stephen Bassett is a leading advocate in the nation for ending the 61-year government imposed truth embargo regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.  He is a political activist, lobbyist, commentator and columnist.  He is the founder of the Paradigm Research Group, the Executive Director of the Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee (X-PPAC), the creator of the Paradigm Clock and the executive producer of the X-Conference.  His work has been covered extensively inside and outside the United States.  See  PRG Media Coverage.

Since 1996 Bassett has assisted numerous organizations and initiatives working to 1) raise public awareness, 2) convene open Congressional hearings to take government witness testimony, and 3) end the truth embargo.   He has appeared on hundreds of radio and television talk shows and in numerous documentaries speaking to millions of people about the implications and likelihood of "Disclosure" - the formal acknowledgment of the extraterrestrial presence by world governments.

In 1995 Bassett decided to bring a 15-year background in business development and consulting and a degree in physics into the issues surrounding extraterrestrial-related phenomena. In April of 2004 he produced the 1st Exopolitics Expo - the X-Conference - held at the Hilton Washington, DC North/Gaithersburg.  This was followed by X-Conferences 2005, 2007, 2008 and April 2009.  

Concomitant with these projects was continuing public awareness work via the PRG website and media appearances coupled with lobbying of the political media to take notice of what is easily the biggest and most important news story in history. With the nation and world moving into new and troubling territory, Mr. Bassett will continue to work to create a broad based coalition within the extraterrestrial phenomena research/activist community capable of reaching out to the twenty million plus American citizens who are following the politics of disclosure with interest and concern.   The aim is to form a political structure of sufficient size to meaningfully influence government policies and actions leading up to and following the formal acknowledgment of the extraterrestrial presence.
