Albany Times Union Recounts Mysterious Sightings of Large Triangular UFO over the Hudson Valley Some Forty Years Ago

This interesting article in the Albany Times Union newspaper is a breezy recounting of the mysterious and unsolved sightings of a huge triangular UFO spotted over the Hudson Valley in New York state some 40 years ago.

https://www.timesunion.com/hudsonvalley/history/article/ufo-sightings-westchester-pine-bush-mystery-19363246.php

The same sort of craft has been observed during various other encounters over the past four decades, most notably in Belgium, southern Illinois and Phoenix, and it’s almost certainly a top-secret Pentagon weapon.

So, let’s assume that Big Black Delta is among a group of platforms that also includes the Tic Tac vehicle observed in 2004 by U.S. Navy pilots – advanced-propulsion weapons that have been developed entirely by Homo sapiens, the same species that has brought us a bevy of technological wonders, from nukes to microchips, jet engines to lasers to quantum computers. No assist from space aliens needed!

According to this “terrestrial hypothesis” for UFOs, the evolution of these vehicles began during the last world war and they have been kept under wraps since that time, all the while becoming more and more sophisticated and shrouded nearly 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.

The government’s recent UFO report confirms as much, spelling out that UFO witnesses have unwittingly observed top-secret U.S. weapons, which they misidentified as extraterrestrial. Of course, the government UFO report doesn’t address the issue of disinformation, but we know that it has been employed in the past, as shown in the excellent documentary film Mirage Men.

Anyway, I would argue that when you consider the pattern of UFO encounters going all the way back to 1947 that the U.S. has had some form of electric or electromagnetic field propulsion technology either in development or in operation since then. If this is true, then these systems have evolved entirely within the Pentagon’s “black budget,” keeping them hidden from the public.

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 have been examples of military training exercises taking place over populated areas. This excellent 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

So, if this terrestrial hypothesis is correct and the Pentagon has made a series of astonishing propulsion breakthroughs – something akin to antigravity – then this raises a whole host of follow-up concerns and questions, including but not limited to:

  • Do we have a shadow space program that runs parallel to NASA and the Space Force? If so, do we have military bases in deep space?
  • When the SR-71 blackbird was retired in 1990, was it replaced with another, more advanced platform capable of reaching any destination in the world quickly and on short notice? Is that what these black triangles are?  
  • In addition to some sort of electromagnetic field propulsion, have we also developed a propulsion system that harnesses the Casimir effect? This might explain the incredible performance observed by police officers in southern Illinois in 2000. At least one of the officers said the ship darted from place to place, instantly leaping several miles at a time.
  • If we have, indeed, developed such a propulsion system, have we gone interstellar?    

Of course, in exploring the terrestrial hypothesis there are many additional potential questions you could pose.

Excellent UFO Article in Gizmodo Highlights Mirage Men Documentary About Pentagon Disinformation

This is an excellent piece in Gizmodo about the ongoing UFO saga.

https://gizmodo.com/another-ufo-report-is-a-bust-so-why-do-so-many-people-1851331674

What I find particularly interesting is the interview with Mark Pilkington, author of Mirage Men, which details Pentagon disinformation aimed at misleading the public into thinking the UFOs are extraterrestrial.

The article also mentions the hugely important phenomenon of the large triangular UFOs that have been observed at low altitude by numerous witnesses, including cops. The triangular, or delta-shape craft, were seen over the Hudson Valley and Belgium in the 1980s and 90s, Phoenix in 1997 and southern Illinois in 2000.

Of particular note, witnesses in the Illinois sightings said the object abruptly moved from location to location, instantly darting around the night sky. This indicates a startling propulsion breakthrough, one that could have major implications for space travel.

Anyway, let’s assume this object is one of several top-secret U.S. military platforms that includes the flying “Tic Tac” vehicle observed in 2004 by U.S. Navy pilots – advanced-propulsion weapons that have been developed entirely by Homo sapiens, the same species that has brought us a bevy of tech marvels over the centuries, from the pyramids to nukes, microchips and lasers to the Antikythera mechanism and Greek fire. No assist from space aliens required!

According to this “terrestrial hypothesis” for UFOs, 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 largely hidden from Congress, the executive branch and the public. This supposition presumes 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.

So, let’s assume the UFOs have never been about E.T. They have always been about the U.S. military. Based on witness testimony, it certainly appears that the Pentagon has achieved a propulsion breakthrough – or possibly a series of breakthroughs. However, the Pentagon can’t admit that it has antigravity because, well, then it would no longer be secret. It all makes perfect sense, in a convoluted kind of way.

I would argue that when you consider the pattern of UFO encounters going all the way back to 1947 that the U.S. has had some form of antigravity or field propulsion technology either in development or in operation since then. If this is true, then these systems have evolved entirely within the Pentagon’s “black budget,” which is beyond the scrutiny of public officials and the media.

At the same time, there appears to have been a considerable disinformation effort to make people think the UFOs are E.T. because as soon as you entangle the entire subject within the intellectual morass of space aliens you relegate the whole story to the fringe. Once you start talking about E.T. crashes and dead aliens, interdimensional beings, time travelers, and the Vatican’s in on the whole secret, the public and the media don’t take it seriously. The only people who do take it seriously are those who are already convinced that it’s extraterrestrials or are just making money off the E.T. hypothesis.

So, if this terrestrial hypothesis is correct – and the Pentagon does, indeed, have antigravity, this raises a whole host of follow-up questions and concerns, including:

  • Do we have a shadow space program that runs parallel to NASA and the Space Force? If so, do we have military bases in deep space?
  • When the SR-71 blackbird was retired in 1990, was it replaced with another, more advanced platform capable of reaching any destination in the world quickly and on short notice? Is that what these triangular craft are?  
  • In addition to antigravity, have we developed a propulsion system that harnesses the Casimir effect? This might explain the incredible performance observed by police officers in southern Illinois in 2000. At least one of the officers said the ship darted from place to place, instantly leaping several miles at a time.
  • If we have, indeed, developed such a propulsion system, have we gone interstellar?    

Of course, in exploring the terrestrial hypothesis there are many additional potential questions you could pose.

Rep. Burlison: Pentagon Should Tell Truth About ‘Special Access Programs’ Being Confused for UFOs and E.T.

Interesting comments from Rep. Eric Burlison, quoted in The Hill saying the Pentagon isn’t telling Congress the truth about “special access programs” that are being confused for extraterrestrial technology and reported as UFOs.

GOP lawmaker calls for House to form committee on UAPs

Here is a relevant passage from The Hill article, dated March 12, 2024, in brackets and bolded:

[Burlison said Tuesday that his concerns were that the Pentagon is not being completely forthright in its denials about UAP programs. He said Defense officials were not truthful to members of Congress in private when sharing classified information.

“They weren’t transparent to us in a SCIF setting,” Burlison said. “So they could have brought forward evidence. They could have explained what these Special Access Programs actually do. But they are not willing to do that with Congress.”

“So to me, it’s about time that they opened the kimono, that they show us exactly what’s happening, because they should,” he continued. “If they’re doing something that’s good for the American people, if they’re being responsible with taxpayer dollars, they should have nothing to hide.”]

I guess Rep. Burlison didn’t get the memo from Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, former head of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which was formed by Congress to investigate UFOs.

In his second opinion piece in Scientific American, Kirkpatrick pretty much confirmed that many UFOs are top-secret Pentagon programs that must remain hidden from the public.

Here is an excerpt from the Op/Ed, bold and in brackets, to support this idea, and also here is a link to the Op/Ed: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/we-need-to-investigate-ufos-but-without-the-distraction-of-conspiracy/

[There also is the possibility that some observed and reported phenomena are associated with past or ongoing national security programs completely unrelated to extraterrestrials. Unfortunately, some who have been peripherally involved in these programs are taking advantage of the lack of understanding of security compartmentalization among the public—and some members of Congress—and feel that exposure of national security activities is a public right.

The harm of such exposure would be incalculable: billions of dollars and decades invested in military capabilities exposed to our potential adversaries to satisfy ill-informed curiosity. While some staffers and members of Congress may claim that they and the American people have a right to know of every classified research program, Congress already has an established process for notification of sensitive programs to the bipartisan leadership of both the Senate and House as well as the chairs and ranking minority members of the Senate and House intelligence committees, often referred to as the Gang of Eight. It is incumbent on both the speaker of the House, the Senate majority leader and both chairs of the intelligence committees to ensure that there is no risk of exposing any national security programs in a rush to find extraterrestrials, and that documents are reviewed within appropriate channels. If these members of Congress deem it appropriate not to share classified information, they are doing their job. These are not town hall topics.]

Well, there you have it.

The Pentagon is never going to tell the truth about its propulsion breakthroughs over the decades, astonishing advances that are so unconventional people think they’re witnessing E.T.

And I don’t know, maybe the absolute secrecy is warranted, given how dangerous the world truly is.

But, hey, it’s not E.T. … it was never E.T.

After reading the Pentagon’s big UFO report, there can be only one logical conclusion: You have to take E.T. out of the equation

After reading the Pentagon’s big Volume 1 UFO report, there can be only one logical conclusion: You have to take E.T. out of the equation.

Not only did the report conclusively demonstrate that there is no evidence for extraterrestrial visitation, it also specifically highlighted that in many cases witnesses are misidentifying top-secret programs known only to a small group of people. The report also makes clear that public discussion of these programs would seriously damage national security.

Here are some excerpts from the report that demonstrate these facts:

• AARO assesses that some portion of sightings since the 1940s have represented misidentification of never-before-seen experimental and operational space, rocket, and air systems, including stealth technologies and the proliferation of drone platforms.

• AARO concludes many of these programs represent authentic, current and former sensitive, national security programs, but none of these programs have been involved with capturing, recovering, or reverse-engineering off-world technology or material.

• In many cases, the interviewees named authentic USG (U.S. government) classified programs well-known and understood to those appropriately accessed to them in the Executive Branch and Legislative Branch; however, the interviewees mistakenly associated these authentic USG programs with alien and extraterrestrial activity. 

• AARO assesses that all of the named and described alleged hidden UAP reverse-engineering programs provided by interviewees either do not exist; are misidentified authentic, highly-sensitive national security programs that are not related to extraterrestrial technology exploitation

• The interviewees and others who have mistakenly associated authentic sensitive national security programs with UAP had incomplete or unauthorized access to these programs; discussion of these programs outside of secure facilities presents a high risk of exposing national security information.

So, I would submit to you that after removed E.T. visitation from the equation, the only logical explanation is that the Pentagon has very likely developed a series of propulsion breakthroughs that have been responsible for, but not limited to:

• Kenneth Arnold’s seminal sighting in 1947

• The UFOs over Washington, D.C., in 1952

•  The UFO that crashed in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, in 1965

• The giant triangular UFO seen over the Hudson Valley and Belgium in the 1980s

•  The giant triangular object over Phoenix, Arizona, in 1997

•  The similarly giant triangular or delta-shape object observed over southern Illinois in 2000

• The Tic Tac-shape object encountered by U.S. Navy pilots in 2004

•  The disc-shape object observed over Chicago O’Hare International Airport in 2006

I’m sure that I missed a few because there have been so many, but those are the examples that immediately come to mind.

I would further propose that if this is true, then it is the most profound military conspiracy in history, far surpassing everything from the Trojan Horse to the Manhattan Project. A secret of such magnitude that if revealed would have huge implications not only for the world economy but for the very trajectory of human civilization.

I find it very interesting that the Pentagon and former AARO director Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick have confirmed that many of the UFO sightings have been misidentified “highly-sensitive” U.S. military programs, yet no one seems to be asking what these programs are.

That seems like a no-brainer.

What are these programs, which are so unconventional that witnesses have mistaken them for alien technology?

Inquiring minds want to know …

Pentagon’s UFO Report Finds No Aliens, Official Says Some Witnesses Have ‘Mistaken’ Classified U.S. Military Programs

The Pentagon issued a big smackdown to alien watchers, reinforcing what I’ve been saying all along: Some of the UFOs are misidentified top-secret U.S. military programs. This article in the Washington Post covers it nicely.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/03/08/no-ufo-aliens-pentagon-report

Here is my biggest takeaway from the Post article:

[“A consistent theme in popular culture involves a particularly persistent narrative that the [U.S. government] — or a secretive organization within it — recovered several off-world spacecraft and extraterrestrial biological remains … and that it has conspired since the 1940s to keep this effort hidden from the United States Congress and the American public,” the report stated.

Government personnel are some of the most ardent believers in that idea. The investigators interviewed about 30 people, including some who had worked on official UAP research programs, “who claimed to have insight into alleged [U.S. government] involvement in off-world technology exploitation,” the report said. In some cases, they had stumbled upon actual, highly classified programs that had nothing to do with aliens.

“Many have sincerely misinterpreted real events or mistaken sensitive U.S. programs for which they were not cleared as having been related to UAP or extraterrestrial exploitation,” Tim Phillips, the AARO acting director, told reporters.]

Well, there you have it. Yet more evidence that the UFOs are not only NOT extraterrestrial, but in some cases are misidentified top-secret U.S. weapons.

Sean Kirkpatrick, in his second UFO Op/Ed in Scientific American, pretty much just confirmed that many UFOs are top-secret Pentagon programs that must remain off limits to the public

In his most recent opinion piece in Scientific American, Sean Kirkpatrick, former head of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), just pretty much confirmed that many UFOs are top-secret Pentagon programs that must remain hidden from the public. He also admonishes members of Congress to avoid the disclosure of secret military programs in the face of public pressure for greater UFO transparency, warning, “These are not town hall topics.”

Well, there you have it.

I certainly don’t fault Dr. Kirkpatrick for his commitment to absolute secrecy when it comes to classified programs. After all, he worked for the Pentagon. And, by the way, maybe this explains why a recent seemingly significant UFO encounter involving a pilot from Eglin Air Force Base was not reported to AARO and why official reports have been heavily redacted. Maybe it was one of ours.

In fact, I would argue that the most sensational encounters, think the 2004 Tic Tac, are actually not E.T. at all, but secret U.S. military weapons. Therefore, since AARO is unable to reveal this truth, the office is, ultimately, incapable of truly investigating UFOs.

We need an entirely independent organization, separated from the constraints of federal government, or we’re never going to understand what’s happening. And we need an organization that isn’t fully ensconced in the E.T. hypothesis (that is, the UFOs are extraterrestrial). An organization that’s at least open to the idea that the UFOs aren’t E.T. That the kinds of performance characteristics we’re seeing in UFOs are due to a series of propulsion breakthroughs going all the way back to the immediate postwar period. Developments that have been kept hidden from the public for more than 70 years, conceived, developed, perfected and executed totally by human scientists and engineers. The same species that has brought us similar quantum leaps over the centuries, astonishing advances ranging from nuclear weapons and lasers to microchips and medical imaging.

Let’s call this the terrestrial hypothesis. No assist from space aliens needed!

Object in Eglin Air Force Base Pilot’s UFO Encounter Seems Similar to Classic Kecksburg UFO

Ok, so thanks to The War Zone for this excellent coverage of a strange-but-true UFO encounter involving a pilot from Eglin Air Force Base in January 2023.

https://www.twz.com/air/air-force-pilots-bizarre-encounter-with-capsule-like-craft-off-florida-declassified

I particularly found it interesting that the object has the shape of a capsule, which seems similar to the UFO that crashed in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, in 1965. Although, this object appears to have been much larger than the Kecksburg UFO.

As is typical, the Pentagon is withholding so much information about this encounter, leaving MANY unanswered questions.

It’s very curious that the bottom of the craft glowed orange and optically distorted the air around it. Might these effects be caused by a field-propulsion system that creates a plasma of ionized air as a byproduct? And the Air Force jet’s radar system threw a circuit breaker, causing it to shut off. Could this indicate a large degree of electromagnetic energy generated by the UFO’s propulsion technology?

The War Zone points out that Eglin Air Force Base is a major test-and-evaluation hub. So, might the Air Force be testing these platforms?

It’s also very telling that the pilot recorded a photo and video, but both are being withheld from the public, and the official reports were nearly entirely redacted because of national security concerns. Might this be simply because this object is a top-secret U.S. weapon, and photos and videos might hold clues to its mode of propulsion and other classified details that a vague sketch would not?

Also, the War Zone points out that the event was apparently not reported to the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), created by Congress specifically to investigate such UFO encounters.

Why not?

Anyway, I’ve always thought the Kecksburg event was a military accident and that perhaps the craft was an experimental platform that overshot its intended landing site, most likely at a nearby military base.

Many thanks to Abbas Michael Dharamsey, an independent researcher who obtained the information through the Freedom of Information Act, and John Greenwald, who posted the information on the Black Vault. What would we do without these people? They are valiantly trying to fill a giant void left by the mainstream media, which have enormous resources and people power for enterprise journalism, and yet are largely neglecting the entire subject of UFOs.
