Executive Director, Paradigm Research Group | America's Only Registered UFO Disclosure Lobbyist

About

Stephen Bassett is the executive director of Paradigm Research Group and the only person in the United States registered to lobby the federal government on behalf of UFO/UAP disclosure. Since 1996, he has been a relentless force in Washington — organizing congressional briefings, testifying at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure, meeting with senators, and doing whatever it takes to force the government to formally acknowledge what it knows about non-human intelligences. He organized the X-Conference, held multiple congressional briefings, and has spent nearly three decades cultivating insider sources at the highest levels of government and the intelligence community. Bassett is a true believer in the democratic right of citizens to know the truth — and he is watching 2026 shape up as the most consequential year in disclosure history. He arrives at CITD with live updates from the frontline.
