UFOs of His Highness Hans-Hadam II, Prince of Liechtenstein

It even concerns its Prince Hans-Adam II, who is actually called, quoting the full name, Johannes "Hans" Adam Ferdinand Aloys Josef Maria Marco d'Aviano Pius. Well, we willingly forgive him this complication for the head of the small (but money) state is a UFO fan.

Prince Hans-Adam II, the head of state of Liechtenstein, believed for decades that extraterrestrials visited the earth. The astrophysicist Jacques Vallée's diaries provide information on an aristocratic family, in which UFO sightings and conspiracy theories were frequent topics at the table. Are there aliens? And do they visit Earth? The ancient question, "Are we alone?", Occupies many people, including heads of state and corporate executives. The UFO theme has returned to the fore in recent years, in connection, among other things, with the famous New York Times article in which Luis Elizondo has unveiled a secret research program conducted by the Pentagon.

The interest of the media has also drawn attention to some celebrities who are passionate about this topic: for example the former US musician Tom DeLonge, involved with his "To The Stars Academy" program, or the space entrepreneur (and partner of the NASA) Robert Bigelow, who in an interview with CBS said he was convinced that there is an "extraterrestrial presence on Earth". Until now, however, the name of Prince Hans-Adam II, the head of state of Liechtenstein, who has sponsored international research on UFOs for decades, maintaining close contacts with people like Bigelow himself, had not appeared almost in the media. It was known for some time that the reserved prince believed in UFOs and extraterrestrials. But the details had never gone public. And they would have remained unknown, had it not been for the meticulous diary kept for decades by a French astrophysicist, named Jacques Vallée.

It is considered a beacon in research on unidentified flying objects and one of the few credible sources in a field of studies ridiculed by many scientists. The Frenchman is also a technology funder in Silicon Valley and co-founder of the Internet precursor, Arpanet. He gave several lectures in the well-known Ted Talk series, a forum in which important researchers illustrate their fields of study.

His "Forbidden Science" diaries provide detailed information about the world of UFO research. A world in which passionate researchers, government officials and alleged contact persons with Aliens vie for the sovereignty of interpretation. Where rumors, myths and deceptions are omnipresent and renegade scientists contend for the favors of millionaires to satisfy their obsession with UFOs. Even Hans-Adam II, now seventy-five years old Prince of Liechtenstein, has moved in this world - as a fascinated financier.
