Activité-Paranormale

In a world where the lines between science and spirituality are increasingly blurred, a recent statement has sent shockwaves through diplomatic, religious, and UFO disclosure circles. Daniel Sheehan, a prominent American attorney, political activist, and longtime advocate for UFO transparency, claims that the current Pope, Leo XIV, may become the first pontiff to open the Vatican’s secret UFO files.

In a recent interview with an independent disclosure-focused media outlet, Sheehan — who has served as an advisor to both the Vatican and the White House — suggested that Pope Leo XIV is determined to reconcile faith and science in a future-facing effort to modernize the Catholic Church. According to Sheehan, such an initiative could place the Holy See at the forefront of a global shift: the official acknowledgment of intelligent extraterrestrial life.

A Legacy Written in the Stars

While the claim is bold, Sheehan points to a historical precedent. He notes that a previous Leo — Pope Leo XIII — established the Vatican Observatory in 1891, a move that has long fueled speculation about the Church’s true interest in the cosmos.

“There has always been a faction within the Church that believes the discovery of extraterrestrial life is not incompatible with Catholic doctrine,” said Sheehan. “Pope Leo XIV is building on that legacy. He wants to create a deep dialogue between theology and modern cosmology.”

Bridging Worlds: Theology and Exobiology

Sheehan is no stranger to the UFO topic. In the 1970s, during the presidency of Jimmy Carter — who famously reported his own UFO encounter — Sheehan was tasked with engaging Vatican officials on the subject. According to him, Leo XIV’s papacy presents a historic opportunity for a new kind of openness.

“I believe Pope Leo XIV is ready to go where no other pope has dared,” Sheehan stated. “He wants to bring the Church into the 21st century, aligning it with emerging truths about our universe — including the likely existence of an advanced nonhuman civilization.”

Pressure on the U.S. Government?

Sheehan also suggests that the Pope’s actions could increase pressure on the United States government to release more of its classified UFO materials. The Vatican's moral and spiritual authority, he argues, could tip the scales globally.

"If the Pope publicly speaks about this, it could set a precedent so powerful that governments would no longer be able to hide behind secrecy," he said. He added that the current U.S. president might even see this as an opportunity to be the first world leader to confirm the reality of extraterrestrial life — potentially in collaboration with the Vatican.

A Church in Transition

The Vatican has not issued any official comment on Sheehan’s remarks. However, observers note a growing openness in recent years to previously taboo subjects. Jesuit astronomers at the Vatican Observatory have already stated publicly that belief in extraterrestrial life does not contradict Christian faith.

As the world inches closer to what many believe could be an era of unprecedented transparency about unidentified aerial phenomena, Rome’s voice — long silent on the matter — could prove decisive. And if Daniel Sheehan is right, humanity may be on the verge of a dialogue once thought impossible: one that unites the heavens above with the faith below.
