Wilcock is known as a prominent figure in the ‘Disclosure Movement,’ which discusses the US Government’s alleged cover-ups of the existence of extraterrestrial lifeforms. The YouTuber has made several claims throughout his career on his documentary shows, books, and livestreams. 

Here are five outrageous claims made by Wilcock that would make The X-Files sound normal. Before anything, we have to state that there has been no scientific evidence to back any of these claims.

5 David Wilcock Claimed The Moon Was Hollow And Had Aliens

The Hollow Moon theory has been widely regarded as a pseudoscientific theory, but there are many who still claim it. YouTuber David Wilcock has also been a proponent of this theory. As the host of the show, Cosmic Disclosure, he supported the theory that the Moon was hollow and acted as a base for extraterrestrial beings who were billions of years older than humans. There is no scientific evidence to back this theory.

4 Wilcock ‘Revealed’ The Government Had Secret Space Programs

The government having secret programs for developing weapons for psychological warfare is a popular conspiracy theory that has come up in pop culture multiple times. David Wilcock, along with fellow theorist Corey Goode, revealed that several space and military programs had already made contact with extraterrestrial forces (via Cosmic Disclosure).

Goode claimed that he was directly invited to be part of some of the programs as he was an ‘empath,’ while Wilcock mentioned that he had interviewed many such ‘insiders’ who had several levels of clearance above the President of the United States. 

Both Goode and Wilcock claimed that aliens were doing genetic experiments on humans through these programs.

3 David Wilcock’s 2012 Conspiracy Was More Spiritual Than Doomsday

The 2012 doomsday conspiracy has been along the lines of an apocalypse that would mark the end of the world. However, David Wilcock’s theory was more spiritual than apocalyptic. In his book The Source Field Investigations: The Hidden Science and Lost Civilizations Behind the 2012 Prophecies, Wilcock proposed that 2012 would mark a cataclysmic event on Earth, but instead of an apocalypse, it would be a gateway for higher spiritual ascension for humans.

2 Wilcock’s Reptilian Overlords Theory Puts Bugonia To Shame

The concept of the Emma Stone-starrer Bugonia sees her character being kidnapped by two conspiracy theorists who believe her to be an alien sent to destroy Earth. David Wilcock’s theory about secret overlords is not too far from the movie. 

In his documentary Above Majestic, Wilcock claimed that shapeshifting reptilian overlords are key members of the world’s most powerful organizations and governments. He has also claimed that these reptilian aliens operate in bases in Antarctica.

1 David Wilcock Claimed To Be The Chosen Messenger in a Cosmic War With Aliens

David Wilcock is not the first media personality to claim to be a messenger of a higher spiritual being. Conspiracy theorists and cult personalities have popped up every few years, catering to the fears of the milieu of that period. From Scientology’s L. Ron Hubbard to cult leader Sherry Shriner, there have been many personalities who have similar claims.

Wilcock has claimed that he had been visited by an alien entity in his dreams that claimed that he would be a great spiritual leader (via Vice). In his book, The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce, Wilcock claimed that he was a reincarnation of the eponymous clairvoyant and religious leader.

David Wilcock has made several other claims related to UFOs, aliens, and more. Two days before his alleged death, he mentioned in a YouTube livestream that many UFO theorists were being killed, and he was glad to be alive. Was his death a s*icide or yet another conspiracy? Only time will tell.
