I agree with Rep. Burlison about UFOs: Earthlings have developed an advanced propulsion technology, but it’s not ‘foreign’ and it’s not ‘experimental’ …

Well, well, well … this Deseret News article dated Oct. 30, 2023, shows that Congress is FINALLY catching on, and I totally agree with Rep. Burlison: The Pentagon has developed an advanced propulsion technology, but I would argue this isn’t “experimental” … these appear to be fully operational platforms.

I found this comment from Rep. Burlison to be particularly significant because it’s the first time I’ve seen any public figure candidly suggest that the UFOs represent a breakthrough in propulsion technology.

From the Deseret News article:

(But Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., was convinced that an entity — tied to the federal government or foreign — was developing an “advanced form of propulsion” after the meeting with intelligence officials.

“What it appears to be is somebody has discovered something — some advanced form of propulsion or technology — that may actually change all of our lives,” Burlison told Laslo. “But clearly it’s in an experimental phase or we’re experimenting with it.”)

It’s encouraging that members of Congress are figuring out that the UFOs aren’t about extraterrestrials at all. They are about the Pentagon developing a series of propulsion breakthroughs originating decades ago. I would argue, based on the history of UFO sightings going all the way back to 1947, that the Pentagon has had some form of field propulsion either in development or in operation since that time and that these platforms have been entirely hidden from Congress and the public through the Department of Defense’s burgeoning “black budget.”

If this is true, then this means the Pentagon has made an astonishing advancement – call it antigravity if you like – that if commercialized would literally change the trajectory of human civilization, revolutionizing the transportation of people on Earth and ushering in the practical colonization of space.

Moreover, the Pentagon can’t tell the truth about UFOs because in doing so it would mean exposing a top-secret weapon. At the same time, the DoD’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), can’t really “get to the bottom” of the UFO mystery because it’s part of the Pentagon.

I guess one of the most important issues surrounding this conspiracy is that there is absolutely no oversight for a scientific development that is arguably as important as the discovery of nuclear weapons. The Pentagon is solely in control.

And if you think this is just too insane, is it any crazier than space aliens traveling trillions of miles from another solar system, only to crash land repeatedly or to inexplicably hang out over places like rural Texas and obscure U.S. military training ranges?

It seems fairly obvious that the whole extraterrestrial hypothesis is just a myth promoted and reinforced by popular culture and the Pentagon’s own disinformation apparatus. Why? Because as soon as you entangle the whole subject of UFOs within the intellectual morass of space aliens, you relegate the story to the fringe. No one takes it seriously, and the only people who do take it seriously are consumed with fantasies about extraterrestrials, time travelers, interdimensional beings, alien abduction, the Vatican knows all about it and various “are we alone?” scenarios.

But, hey, I’m not telling you anything especially new. It’s all in Flying Saucers!

NewsNation: Pentagon Denies Access to UFO Secrets Because Members of Congress Lack Proper Security Clearance

There’s a lot to unpack in this NewsNation article quoting frustrated congressional representatives who — in trying to learn the truth about UFOs — were told by the Pentagon that they lack the proper security clearance. The article was just posted this afternoon on Oct. 27, 2023.

‘I didn’t learn anything:’ Burchett on classified UFO briefing

This is priceless, but I finally agree with Scott Perry about something when he says “… this isn’t our government … We just get to live here in America and the government doesn’t answer to us.”

Though, I must say that I’m not surprised. Pentagon officials will never tell the public the truth about UFOs because, in my opinion, in doing so they would be revealing details about top-secret weapons.

According to the “terrestrial hypothesis” for UFOs (i.e., it isn’t space aliens), which I personally subscribe to, the UFOs are entirely inventions of Homo sapiens, the same species that has brought us nukes, microchips, lasers, microwave ovens, skyscrapers, calculus, non-linear algebra, the Mona Lisa, etc., etc. … no assist from space aliens needed!

Anyway, you have to admire members of Congress for pressing the Pentagon about UFOs. And I totally agree with Rep. Eric Burlison when he says, “We owe it to the American people to let them know where the money is being spent.”

At the same time, I think people still haven’t grasped the reality that the UFOs have nothing to do with E.T. and everything to do with propulsion breakthroughs at the Pentagon over the past seventy-five years.

That’s why Navy pilots are encountering these objects over U.S. military training ranges. And they aren’t “experimental aircraft,” but top-secret operational platforms that are well beyond the testing phase.

But, hey, I’m not telling you anything you haven’t already considered at great length, sometimes in the early, early morning while under the influence of various intoxicants, sometimes while stone-cold sober in the clarifying light of day.

Technical analysis of Middle East orb UFO shows that it’s likely just a party balloon, but shouldn’t the Pentagon know this already?

Ok, so I found this analysis to be nothing short of revelatory. It was prepared by an organization called Bellingcat, which describes itself as an “independent investigative collective of researchers, investigators and citizen journalists …”

Using geolocation and mathematics, specialists at Bellingcat clearly show that the orb UFO observed by a U.S. military drone over the Middle East in 2022 is probably just a party balloon measuring a maximum of .43 meters, or 1.4 feet. The illusion of motion and speed is also clearly explained away by a phenomenon called parallax, the analysis concludes.

https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2023/10/24/isnt-that-a-balloon-deflating-a-dod-ufo-video/

Yet, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, an official at the U.S. Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), claimed during a congressional hearing that AARO has been unable to identify the object. He makes other statements suggesting similar orb-shaped UFOs could be truly mysterious, saying they are capable of “very interesting apparent maneuvers …”

Pardon my cynicism, but I find it very hard to believe that Dr. Kirkpatrick doesn’t know this thing was a balloon. Anyway, hopefully the AARO will soon weigh in on all this, but it sure seems like an important issue to address. Also, in a related matter, what ever happened to the Eglin Air Force Base orb? Was that also just a balloon, and is AARO going to issue a report about that encounter, along with the photo that was taken by the pilot and seen by a U.S. representative?

So many questions …

News column about UFOs touches on something crucial: They could be top secret U.S. military weapons being ‘clandestinely’ tested …

This column published by Globetrotter and appearing in the Sri Lanka Guardian on Oct. 5, 2023, touches on what I view as the most probable explanation for the UFO enigma over the past seven decades or so: That they are likely top-secret U.S. weapons.

What if UFOs Have Been a Cover for High-Tech—and Human—Defense Research Programs?

Hallelujah! I’ve been saying this for years. Anyway, here are the key takeaways from the column, well-crafted by journalist John P. Ruehl:

“Many secret military aircraft were frequently mistaken for UFOs, such as the U-2 reconnaissance plane, introduced in the 1950s, which featured a gray frame that often reflected the sun. The SR-71 “Blackbird” meanwhile started service in 1966 and wasn’t declassified until the 1990s. Its distinctive shape, speed, and altitude capabilities were often mistaken for a UFO. The B-2 Spirit, introduced in the late 1980s, also had a unique aerodynamic design and its ability to control lift, thrust, and drag at low speeds often gave the appearance that it was hovering.

Since the Cold War, secretive experimental military aircraft have continued to generate UFO reports. But unexplained phenomena have also fueled conspiracy theories. In November 2004 off the coast of San Diego, Navy pilots filmed UFOs demonstrating rapid acceleration, physics-defying sudden changes in direction, and other feats in videos eventually released to the public in 2017 … The U.S. military’s reluctance to disclose UFO/UAP information is often linked to the need to protect classified technology. Military agencies can choose to neither confirm nor deny such information exists. But when the government transparency website, the Black Vault, submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the Navy for more UFO/UAP videos, it was denied because it would harm national security and ‘may provide adversaries valuable information regarding Department of Defense/Navy operations, vulnerabilities, and/or capabilities.’

Releasing these videos without additional information may also be an effective way for the U.S. military to hint at its own new technological capacities for various strategic, political, and scientific reasons. Suddenly revealing these technologies could result in rising geopolitical tensions and trigger a reaction, while merely hinting at it may also serve as a deterrence to adversaries. Gradually preparing the public for emerging technologies is equally as important, while encouraging speculation about UFO/UAPs could divert attention away from classified projects.

By clandestinely testing experimental new technologies on their own defenses without resorting to lethal forces, military agencies can also gain valuable insights into their capabilities and vulnerabilities in real-world scenarios.”

I agree with this assessment. Although, I would argue that the Pentagon isn’t necessarily “testing experimental new technologies … ” but training personnel on these technologies. These platforms certainly do not appear to be experimental. They appear to be operational and well beyond the testing phase. Maybe that’s why U.S. Navy pilots have encountered these objects over military training ranges, not over test ranges.

At any rate, I have proposed my own version of the “terrestrial hypothesis” for UFOs in my novel Flying Saucers. According to this hypothesis, the evolution of these vehicles began during the immediate postwar period and they have been kept under wraps since that time, all the while becoming more and more sophisticated and shrouded entirely from Congress, the executive branch and the public. This supposition presumes that none of the UFOs are extraterrestrial and that the entire space-alien hypothesis is just a myth fed by popular culture and the Pentagon’s disinformation apparatus.

As to why the Pentagon would be flying these weapons over populated areas, perhaps it’s real-world training, a “living lab” to perfect tactics and to study how well they perform against state-of-the-art, white-world technologies like F-16s. There are many examples of military training exercises taking place over populated areas. This article in The War Zone documents one such exercise over Los Angeles: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/38753/those-mysterious-gray-helicopters-were-landing-on-multiple-downtown-la-rooftops-last-night

Anyway, it’s as good a theory as space aliens traveling trillions of miles across the gulf of space to inexplicably hang out over U.S. military training ranges and terrorizing the denizens of places like Stephenville, Texas.

But, hey, I’m not telling you anything you haven’t already surmised. It’s all in Flying Saucers!
