… confirmed.

This month, The Sunday Times disclosed previously classified state files, which showed that the British military sought to obtain “extraterrestrial” technology after receiving credible intelligence that UFOs appeared to be real and could outperform any known human craft.

McCaw, who worked for the Bank of England for ten years until 2012, insists that politicians and bankers can no longer afford to dismiss talk of alien life and snigger about “little green men”.

“The United States government appears to be partway through a multi-year process to declassify and disclose information on the existence of a technologically advanced non-human intelligence responsible for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs),” she claimed.

“If the UAP proves to be of non-human origin, we may have to acknowledge the existence of a power or intelligence greater than any government and with potentially unknown intentions.

“It is entirely possible that government leadership and their central banks have not been properly briefed on the topic. UAP disclosure is likely to induce ontological shock and provoke psychological responses with material consequences.”

McCaw added: “There might be extreme price volatility in financial markets due to catastrophising or euphoria, and a collapse in confidence if market participants feel uncertain on how to price assets using any of the familiar methods.

“There might be a rush to perceived safe assets such as physical gold, other precious metals and some types of government bonds.

“Alternatively, precious metals might lose their status as perceived safe assets if people speculate that new space-faring technologies will soon increase the supply of precious metals.

“There might be a rush to digital currencies such as bitcoin, which may prove appealing if people question the legitimacy of government and lose trust in government-backed assets.”

McCaw said the authorities should also prepare for unrest and an unprecedented run on the banking system.

“If there is an official announcement and we get presented with very clear evidence that nobody is going to dispute, I would say that in a matter of hours, you are going to have total financial instability,” she said.

“If banks start failing, the payment system will collapse, and you’ll have rioting on the streets because people can’t fill their cars up with fuel or buy food in the supermarket.”

“Even if you feel it’s very unlikely, it’s madness not to consider it and plan accordingly.” Continue reading …
