What Should We Tell The Children?
Need to Know (Coulthart/Zabel)Sep 6, 2026
Screenwriter and UFO author Bryce Zabel talks with former federal agent and UFO investigator Ben Hansen about a question rarely raised in disclosure debates: what should parents tell their children if the government confirms non-human intelligence is real? Drawing on Hansen's Georgetown thesis on 'black swan' crises and his years investigating child abuse cases, they look at psychological resilience, cognitive dissonance, and how young minds might absorb a sudden shift in reality. Using analogies from Lou Elizondo's footprints-in-the-house scenario to the Santa Claus 'conspiracy,' they argue parents may become the main filters of disclosure for their kids.
