In this video Hellyer claims that he got interested in UFOs recently. Mike comments on this above. Hmmm…
This doesn't jive well with his statements in 1967 when he claimed that the Canadian military ran an unsuccessful 13-year program to call down a UFO in Alberta:

Unfortunately the original newspaper article is locked behind a 3rd party paywall.
Nor does this jive well with his flying into the town of St. Paul that same year to dedicate their UFO landing pad:

Further, this "breaking news" is the second recent example of Mr. Hellyer's claimed sudden conversion, a much more famous example was in 2005. In both cases it is claimed that he was not interested in UFOs until he saw a program about it on TV, but there is ample documentary evidence stretching back decades that this simply isn't the case.
