Interesting Fox News Digital interview with Rep. Tim Burchett regarding his ongoing attempts to learn the truth about UFOs. There could be a reality miniseries here!
Anyway, I think he has pretty much nailed it when he says the Pentagon is using subterfuge to conceal the true nature of this phenomenon, not necessarily because there’s an extraterrestrial origin, but because of extreme secrecy surrounding military programs.
Obviously, Rep. Burchett has chosen to focus his ire on government spending because that’s his political leaning, and it’s certainly true that there’s a considerable “black budget” that conceals spending from the public.
I would argue, though, that there’s something a lot more interesting and intriguing going on here: Not the spending per se, but specifically how this funding is related to UFOs. A very compelling hypothesis is that the Pentagon is concealing technological breakthroughs that are so unconventional they could easily be mistaken for extraterrestrial.
Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, former head of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), has alluded to this possibility in his writings and statements, and so has AARO’s official UFO report that reviews sightings and encounters going back to 1945.
Both sources have unequivocally stated that witnesses, including members of the military, have unwittingly observed top-secret technologies and have mistaken these systems for extraterrestrial visitation.
From the report: “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.”
Dr. Kirkpatrick has also issued stern warnings to members of Congress not to use the search for E.T. as an excuse to expose top-secret weapons. From his recent opinion piece published in Scientific American (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.”
Notice that he says “billions of dollars and decades invested in military capabilities … ”
So, herein lies the true nature of the entire UFO saga in this country going all the way back to 1947: Learning the truth about UFOs would mean revealing the existence of top-secret weapons.
Logically, then, this would suggest that a whole bizarre inventory of encounters involving U.S. military personnel have always been top-secret Pentagon technologies known only to a small circle with a “need to know.” Everything from those UFOs that disabled nuclear missile launch systems back in the 1960s, to the Tic Tac encounters with U.S. Navy pilots in 2004.
Moreover, the performance characteristics of these objects were such that there is one clear, overarching likelihood suggested by this historical record of sightings: The Pentagon has developed exotic and highly unconventional propulsion systems that it has hidden from the public all these years.
This “terrestrial hypothesis” for UFOs leads to many follow-up questions and concerns, chief among them: Is there a shadow space program that runs parallel to NASA and the Space Force that is far more capable than either of those entities? If so, how far have we gone? Do we have military bases in deep space? Are any of these top-secret platforms nuclear-powered?
Thanks to Rep. Burchett and his colleagues for their efforts and Fox News Digital for the interview.
