The U.S. government is set to release their report this June.... I'm not a US Intelligence Agency that potentially has knowledge of UFOs. Why will I be put on a list if US Intelligence Agencies decide to continue to not share what they may or may not know? (1)>>After more than seventy years, the government is publicly acknowledging that mysterious sightings cannot simply be dismissed. Anyone else think it’s strange the military took over 60 years to say “maybe UFO/UAP activity is a national security issue and we should look into that”? I wonder why every "declassified" document looks like shit. It looks like they have some old lady that works alone in a room and her only job is to photocopy soon-to-be-declassified original documents at leasr 10 times, without caring for document alignment in the copier. All it says to me is technology caught up to us and this is an admittance that all of our defenses are at risk but they will blame it on aliens if they can the next time we are attacked. And, these aliens are only visiting USA? Or is every government across the world in on the conspiracy and have been able to keep it quiet? Call me crazy, but when the New York Times reports phrases like, “off-world vehicles not made on this earth,” and “crashes of objects of unknown origin,” in the same article, my ears perk up.Well, New York Times has received significant criticism for that article for the reason that the "journalist" is not a NYT journalist but a freelancer that is a member of an UFO organization (UFODATA), and also the main source Eric W. Davis has close ties to UFO-organizations and would be arrested for violation of revealing classified information he signed an NDA for if he ever actually was part of what he claimed to be part of. The article also had to print a major correction from (2)>>Mr. Reid that felt they put words in his mouth. A 1997 Gallup poll revealed that 42% of college graduates in the United States believed that the earth had been visited by extraterrestrials. This astounding statistic underscores the political importance of the UFO phenomenon, a subject generally regarded as the province of either fiction or psychopathology. The US government is actually gearing up to share information about the (3)>>“reality” of UFOs with the public — and not a moment too soon, says the man who claims to have run the Pentagon’s UFO program for 9 years.Former President Donald Trump’s $2.3 trillion appropriation bill for 2021 contained a mandate that the Pentagon and spy agencies must file a report about “unidentified aerial phenomena” or UAP. Most of us just call them flying saucers or UFOs. Elements of popular culture have successfully disseminated the fanciful notion that aliens from outer space have established contact with elements of our government and the equally fanciful notion that they are responsible for giving the military much of their technology. These segments highlight the little-known fact that much of “the aliens are among us” nonsense has been deliberately disseminated by the military and intelligence community. The government may not have been in regular touch with exotic civilizations, but it had been keeping something from its citizens. (4)>>By 2017, Kean was the author of a best-selling U.F.O. book and was known for what she has termed, borrowing from the political scientist Alexander Wendt, a “militantly agnostic” approach to the phenomenon. On December 16th of that year, in a front-page story in the Times, Kean, together with two Times journalists, revealed that the Pentagon had been running a surreptitious U.F.O. program for ten years. The article included two videos, recorded by the Navy, of what were being described in official channels as “unidentified aerial phenomena,” or U.A.P. In blogs and on podcasts, ufologists began referring to “December, 2017” as shorthand for the moment the taboo began to lift. Within government circles, the issue of how seriously to take what they renamed “unidentified flying objects” provoked a deep conflict. For the most part, people who do not feel that U.F.O.s represent a meaningful category of study regard the opposing view as a harmless curiosity. The world is full of weird, unaccountable convictions: some people believe that leaving your neck exposed in winter makes you ill, and others believe in U.F.O.s. But a small fraction of nonbelievers, known as “debunkers,” mirror ardent belief with equally ardent doubt. Proof positive that there is something going on . One remarkable video was recorded in July 2019 by Naval officers using a night vision device, showing what appear to be pyramid shaped objects hovering 700 feet above a Navy destroyer. This (video) was taken on deployment from the USS Russell,” Corbell said. “It shows what they described as vehicles. And they made a great distinction. They made sure in this classified briefing, they made a great distinction that this is not something that we own either a black project, this is not something of a foreign military, that these were behaving in ways that we did not expect. And that they were you know shaped non aerodynamically. (5)>>"Like pyramids, these are flying pyramids!”The video is one of several forms of visual evidence gathered by the UAP Task Force to document bizarre encounters reported by the U.S. Navy during the past two years, including photos of three stationary drones of unknown origin,👉👉 reported earlier 👈👈👽. But while the Pentagon corroborates the authenticity of the imagery, the US Department of Defense (DOD) hasn't clarified anything further than that, remaining tight-lipped about what, if anything, their investigations of these strange objects might have upturned. We have been LONG indoctrinated by television and movies and books to accept the idea of aliens for so long now that it would not incite mass panic. Not if done right. If the aliens arrived suddenly with no warning en mass in huge ships we would panic. But if they roll out the info that they exist then we won't panic. So more "disclosed" papers released with more blacked out paragraphs and pages because you know.....security.
(1)>>After more than seventy years. here are small sets of their data that they can't explain, but the data is significant enough to them that they've spent 75 years tracking, studying, and recording relevant information, including millions in funding and top-secret classifications. They don't know what they're seeing, and so there won't be a definitive answer from them, but they do have a ton of information about what they do know that they can share.You can try to make analogies to other things in culture, but there's nothing else like this. This is sustained government research into things that move with unexplained dexterity and impunity through our airspace. Many governments the world over are similarly engaged.No amount of hand-waving by you changes the fact that our government has made observations that they are very concerned with in an ongoing way. The fact that you aren't concerned is probably the intended effect of their dismissive messaging: they don't want to seem like they are worried. They don't want their sustained interest to cause any issues, especially considering they don't have any reassuring explanations to give when pressed.And if you stop all the bullshit about ball lightning, etc., and accept even a minority of the data coming from our government about what they're seeing (solid objects, hyper sonic speeds, impossible inertial changes), then you are up to speed with the state of affairs: who fucking knows, it doesn't make any sense.Edit: bold for emphasis. I'm not saying it's anything, because no explanation is sufficient, leaving them unidentified. The messaging from our government, the leading theories, and the leading conspiracy theories all make little sense. No one in the comment section will ever come up with something that is physically, economically, and logically viable; no explanation will meet all those metrics if you accept the data. The only thing we know is a known unknown: that UFO's exist and they defy explanation.(2)>>Mr. Reid that felt they put words in his mouth. Mr. Reid, the former Democratic senator from Nevada who pushed for funding the earlier U.F.O. program when he was the majority leader, said he believed that crashes of objects of unknown origin may have occurred and that retrieved materials should be studied. “After looking into this, I came to the conclusion that there were reports — some were substantive, some not so substantive — that there were actual materials that the government and the private sector had in their possession,” Mr. Reid said in an interview. (3)>>“reality” of UFOs with the public ://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/29/declassified-area-51-soviet-aircraft-cold-war This article from The Guardian (UK) states:“The US government “secretly acquired” Soviet aircraft during the Cold War and tested them at Area 51, according to documents released Tuesday that shed light on the once-classified and long speculated base deep in the Nevada desert.The CIA in August confirmed the existence of Area 51 when it released declassified documents through a Freedom of Information Act request by George Washington University’s National Security Archive. The initial documents show that Area 51 was used to test the US government’s aerial programs.” Again one interesting thing about the UFO resurgence in recent years isn't just the videos and government stuff, but a confirmation of the sociological power of the Times to turn something fringe into something everyone (even joe rogan!) has to take seriously newyorker.com/magazine/2021/. (4)>>By 2017 I agree, fortunately we’re in a bit of unique situation in that the individual who lead the US governments UFO program, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, Luis Elizondo, went public in 2017. That’s how we found out about those three videos and the pilots involved in the incidents (Commander David Fravor, Lieutenant Ryan Graves etc) as well as the black budget ufo program. Luis Elizondo along with several other individuals formerly working in high positions in the pentagon and the aerospace industry briefed senators on the issue. So there are number of members of congress who are pretty savvy on the situation hence the bill, and players like Luis Elizondo and Christopher Mellon are still very active regarding this issue so.. We might see something. I doubt we’ll get an unobscured peak under the hood, but if Elizondo and Mellon are to be believed on this issue, there are some veryyyyy interesting things regarding UFOs going on behind the scenes. I’m cautiously optimistic. (5)>>"Like pyramids, these are flying pyramids!” The government ran a story about UFOs. which tells me that government is about to come out and confirm aliens. This show is used as a platform to test/prepare the general public.Government officials have confirmed that recently-released video showing triangular objects flying off the coast of San Diego is real, prompting a plethora of questions. While UFOs are a stigmatized topic – associated with conspiracy theories and intertwined with pop culture – the fact remains that UAPs, sometimes also called Anomalous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs), are nonetheless very real, representing documented sightings of phenomena that neither the military nor scientific observers can easily identify.The newly surfaced sightings, sourced by filmmaker Jeremy Corbell and reporter George Knapp, include footage of a mysterious "pyramid-shaped" craft observed flying through the sky, along with images of three other strange objects, one of which appears to have been shared online last year. While nobody knows for sure just what these enigmatic visions really are, the Pentagon has at least confirmed that the images are genuine: authentic photography and footage of UAPs captured by the US Navy."I can confirm that the referenced photos and videos were taken by Navy personnel," Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough said in a statement distributed to numerous media outlets."The UAPTF [Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force] has included these incidents in their ongoing examinations." "As we have said before, to maintain operations security and to avoid disclosing information that may be useful to potential adversaries, DOD does not discuss publicly the details of either the observations or the examinations of reported incursions into our training ranges or designated airspace, including those incursions initially designated as UAP," Gough said.
