A Veteran Area 51 Observer Sees No Aliens There, Yet Further Evidence That UFOs Are Not Extraterrestrial

Like most tabloid fare, this article about veteran Area 51 researcher Joerg Arnu contains very little useful information. Yet, it is important because Arnu expresses his opinion that the base does not harbor extraterrestrial technologies. The article appeared recently in The Sun newspaper.

Area 51 has been central to alien conspiracy theories over the years. It is crucial to unfounded claims that the U.S. government is hiding technologies captured from crashed alien spacecraft. In fact, you could argue that without space aliens at Area 51, the whole connection between UFOs and extraterrestrials falls apart.

If anyone were to detect evidence of E.T. at Area 51, you would think it would have been Arnu, who has dedicated decades to pursuing the truth about what goes on at the base.

Here are some relevant excerpts from The Sun article:

“While Arnu believes the base primarily focuses on military technology – he respects others may have different interpretations.

“He said: ‘Who am I to say that my opinion is the right one?‘

“I think it’s military, but the alien people think there are 21 underground levels of torture facilities for aliens …

“From his analysis of hundreds of satellite images and his visits to the secret site, Arnu believes the government is developing cutting-edge stealth aircraft, advanced drones, and experimental weaponry – that could revolutionise modern warfare.

“Over his years of research, Arnu has observed several indications that cutting-edge military technologies are being developed at Area 51.“

Well, there you have it. The UFOs are still not E.T.

Elon Musk is correct about UFOs: They aren’t E.T., they have always just been the Pentagon

I couldn’t agree more with Elon Musk about UFOs, in comments he made to Tucker Carlson and reported in this New York Post article.

Here is the nut graph from the Post article: “The tech mogul claims that the government is likely regularly testing out ‘new aircraft, new missiles, and things’ that are classified at such a high level that even those high up in the chain of command in the US military may not be aware (they) are being tested.”

It also seems like he’s onto something with this observation, as reported in the New York Post article: “He argued that the government would villainize aliens if it knew of their existence to easily green-light military spending.”

Anyway, what this all means is that it’s high time that we started to seriously entertain the “terrestrial hypothesis” for UFOs, and it goes something like this:

1) The UFOs are not extraterrestrial, and they have never been. Instead, the Pentagon has made a series of astonishing technological breakthroughs in propulsion going all the way back to the first important UFO sighting, that of Kenneth Arnold in 1947. These technologies are so unconventional they could easily be mistaken for something from another planet.

Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, former head of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), has alluded to this possibility in his writings and statements. He and AARO’s official UFO report, which reviews sightings and encounters since 1945, have unequivocally stated that witnesses, including members of the military, have unwittingly observed top-secret U.S. weapons and have mistaken these systems for extraterrestrial visitation.

Logically, then, the terrestrial hypothesis would suggest that a whole bizarre inventory of encounters involving U.S. military personnel and civilians alike have always been top-secret Pentagon technologies known only to a small circle of people with the appropriate clearances. Everything from those UFOs that disabled nuclear missile launch systems back in the 1960s, to the huge triangular thing observed over the Hudson Valley in the 1980s, the “Phoenix lights” in 1997, another huge triangular thing encountered by police officers in rural Illinois in 2000, the flying disc over Chicago O’Hare in 2006, the “Tic Tac” encountered by U.S. Navy pilots in 2004, etc.

Moreover, the performance characteristics of these objects were such that there is one 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?

Meanwhile, it certainly appears that there has been a disinformation effort to confuse people, and the media, about the whole subject of UFOs — various tales by former military personnel who claim to have encountered extraterrestrials. It’s a legacy that in my opinion goes back many years and includes The Day After Roswell, published in 1997.

(If you are interested, please read my review of The Day After Roswell, which I regard as a masterpiece of disinformation, here, https://emilvenere.com/files/138490884.pdf)

So, I would argue that you have opposing forces working against each other. You have AARO conducting legitimate investigations into UFOs, but then you have other elements, some of them possibly even within government, working to promote disinformation, contradicting AARO.

Why? Because as soon as you entangle the entire subject within the intellectual morass of space aliens you relegate the whole story to the fringe. Books and other media are carefully designed to confuse people, especially journalists, so that they’ll dismiss the whole business of UFOs as nonsense and won’t start to wonder whether it’s been the Pentagon all along that’s been flying these things.
