In a testament to the seriousness afforded to the UFO phenomenon in recent years, a British financial expert has advised the Bank of England to be prepared for possible alien disclosure. The jaw-dropping recommendation reportedly came from Helen McCaw, a former senior analyst at the institution for ten years. In a letter addressed to Andrew Bailey, head of the Bank of England, she posited that the United States "appears to be partway through a multi-year process to declassify and disclose information on the existence of a technologically advanced non-human intelligence" behind the UFO phenomenon.
The financial analyst argued that, should this be the case, world leaders would be forced to reckon with "a power or intelligence greater than any government and with potentially unknown intentions." Such a scenario, McCaw wrote, "is likely to induce ontological shock and provoke psychological responses with material consequences." To that end, she suggested that alien disclosure would spark "extreme price volatility in financial markets" as the public and business sectors respond to the unfathomable revelation. McCaw also observed that precious metals might explode in value or be rendered worthless "if people speculate that new space-faring technologies will soon increase the supply."
If official UFO disclosure were to occur, McCaw offered the chilling prediction that "in a matter of hours, you are going to have total financial instability" that may result in banks failing and riots breaking out in the streets as people search for food and fuel. Having painted a rather bleak picture of what might unfold, she mused to Bailey, "even if you feel it’s very unlikely, it’s madness not to consider it and plan accordingly." Alas, the Bank of England offered no public response to McCaw's bold warning, though one hopes that it took her words into consideration and has some kind of contingency plan in place should disclosure happen any time soon.
