Joe Rogan Says Trump Knows ‘Something’ About UFOs … I Agree: He Knows They’re Top-Secret Pentagon Weapons

More UFO-related comments from Joe Rogan, as reported in this HuffPost article.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-rogan-trump-ufo-secrets-drone-sightings_n_676d7b4ee4b0b8149e959568

Here are some relevant bits from the article, bold and in quotes:

“When I confronted Mr. Trump [during our interview], he was very cagey, very cagey…He didn’t tell me shit,” Rogan said Tuesday. “It was basically like neither confirm nor deny.”

“I think he knows something, I [just] don’t think he’s interested,” the former “Fear Factor” host added.

Yeah, I agree, and I thank Joe Rogan for keeping the subject alive. If anyone knows the value of protecting trade secrets, it’s Trump.

But I don’t think he’s keeping UFO secrets because of anything having to do with space aliens. I think he’s keeping secrets about UFOs because he knows that they are top-secret Pentagon weapons.

I guess a central problem is that the people traditionally driving the whole UFO bus have always been those who are convinced that it’s E.T. … Spielberg, Leslie Kean, a whole slew of “ufologists” … there has never been a diversity of thought on this subject.

The national conversation has always been dominated by the E.T. hypothesis. It has never been centered on the terrestrial hypothesis — the idea that the UFOs have been top-secret U.S. tech going all the way back to Kenneth Arnold’s seminal encounter in 1947.

For whatever reason, people can’t accept that concept. But they’re just fine with E.T. traveling trillions of miles from another solar system only to forget how to land, crashing in the desert, or for some godforsaken reason hanging out over U.S. military training ranges and the like.

The point is, people are either fully ensconced in the E.T. hypothesis, or they just dismiss the entire subject as nonsense. There is no middle ground.

Then, you have what appears to be state-sponsored disinformation: former military officials writing books about their alleged first-hand encounters with E.T., etc.

Of course, these claims can never be verified, and that’s the genius of it. It’s always: Well, I could tell you more, but that’s classified.

But then why say anything at all, if you were so concerned about revealing classified information? Why say anything?  It makes no sense.

Also, regarding the whole New Jersey drone flap: If there’s anything to it at all, chances are it has something to do with the Pentagon.

Just like all UFO flaps of yore, the sightings will suddenly stop and we’ll never receive any definitive information from the government. People will joke about it, forget about it, and that will be the end of it.

Perhaps it was some sort of military exercise and officials have gathered all the data they need. Meanwhile, people started seeing all sorts of things in the sky that had nothing to do with the initial exercise: planes, hobbyist drones, balloons, etc., etc., which is typical of past UFO flaps. This confuses the media, and journalists invariably pay more attention to these false reports than the hundred or so sightings that actually had some merit.

Is this by design?

Anyway, maybe it was nothing at all. But either way we’ll never know, and that’s how it always is.

So, I agree with Joe Rogan: Trump knows something.

But, no, it’s not space aliens.

Interesting Article in The Debrief about NSF Meeting Touching on Advanced Aerospace Tech

So, interesting article in The Debrief about a recent meeting hosted by the National Science Foundation focusing on advanced aerospace technology.

Reading between the lines, it seems that people are seriously considering the possibility that advanced propulsion systems do exist and that we need policies addressing said advanced propulsion tech.

It would also seem at least possible that people are addressing the likelihood that mankind’s reach has exceeded his grasp, and that this does pose a potential problem. At least, that’s one of my takeaways.

I guess one serious dilemma is that we can’t devise policies if we don’t officially recognize that we have this technology. I mean, if Congress doesn’t have a need to know, how can Congress create policies about these technologies?

Anyway, here is a link to the article … excellent piece by writer Chrissy Newton.

https://thedebrief.org/national-science-foundation-hosts-interagency-meeting-on-disruptive-technology-with-uap-in-focus

Here are some of the most relevant bits, from my POV, at least, bolded and in quotes:

“Others in attendance included Rhodium Scientific founder Olivia Holzhaus,  former fighter pilot and Americans for Safe Aerospace co-founder Ryan Graves, and Jay Stratton, the former Director of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), who shared perspectives on government engagement with UAP research.

“Ryan Graves, who characterized the meeting as being “70 percent edge and deep technology and 30 percent UAP,” said he was there primarily to discuss his personal experiences involving the anomalous phenomena his organization promotes awareness of.

“ ‘I was there to talk about my experiences, both as a pilot and as someone who had to interact with these things (UAPs) for a period of time,’ Graves told The Debrief.

“ ‘I had a long career at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, where I was a Senior Technical Fellow and led the Revolutionary Technology organization, focusing on developing and transitioning breakthrough technologies,’ ” says Charles Chase, Co-Founder of UnLAB. “This experience gave me good insight into advanced technologies, military systems, and threats.’ ”

For Chase, the most promising disruptive technologies are those that he says can reduce conflict and its drivers by creating abundance.

“ ‘Falling behind could mean that disruptive technologies are developed without regard for peaceful applications, increasing global instability,’ ” Chase said. ‘Without leadership, the U.S. might lose its ability to shape the ethical use of advanced technologies, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation by others.’

“However, government policy plays a critical role in how edge science evolves. Determining what comes first—policy adjustments or technological advancements—remains a crucial part of the equation.

“ ‘Investing in edge science, or what I call frontier science, is essential to maintaining national security, driving economic growth, and giving the U.S the ability to help shape the future by using technological advancements for good,’ ” said Jay Stratton, former director of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) and Chief Operating Officer with QuantumFrontier, LLC, in a statement provided to The Debrief.

“Often, policies are created retroactively to manage new developments within culture and society, such as the internet, AI, social media, or nuclear weapons. Ideally, governments would anticipate cultural market trends and scientific and technological advancements to design proactive policies supporting national defense and cultural and economic goals.

“ ‘ But the problem with policy is that you can be wrong, right?’ ” Graves says.

“ ‘I expect there’ll be more,’ Graves told The Debrief.

“Indeed, as governments and private technology companies gear up for the new year, a wave of similar edge-science meetings and summits is already on the horizon. Several groundbreaking discussions are scheduled before the end of the year, and even more are slated for 2025.”

So, looking forward to more on this extremely important topic in the near future!

Security Experts to N.Y. Post: The Mystery Drones Over New Jersey are Likely Top-Secret Pentagon Tech

Finally, the media are figuring out that the mystery drones over New Jersey are probably top-secret Pentagon technology, being tested out before it is certified ready for the battlefield.

It’s about time!

Here is a link to the excellent N.Y. Post article: (https://nypost.com/2024/12/11/us-news/security-experts-share-startling-theory-about-nj-drones/)

Here are the most relevant bits, bolded and in quotes:

“ ‘My first guess is these are potentially government programs kept within what’s known as a ‘Special Access Program,’ which is purposely put together to keep even the most cleared people out — it truly is to keep it secret,” said Clint Emerson, a retired Navy SEAL and owner of security company Escape the Wolf.

‘That’s why the government’s like, ‘We don’t know.’ They’re being truthful,’ he said, adding that the circle could be as small as a dozen officials. ‘They don’t even know the program exists.’

Emerson said it’s impossible to know what the drones might be doing — but he suspects the secret is the technology they’re carrying, not the devices themselves.

‘It could be different types of collection capabilities — so, different types of cameras, like high-definition, infrared or thermal,’ he said.

A second payload, for instance, could be hardware that grabs all the cellphone data in a given environment.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has said the drones over his state don’t seem to pose any threat — and experts say it could be the US government testing new tech.

‘How much data can we collect with this? Let’s say we got 10 drones, they fly in a grid, how much cellphone traffic can we pick up? Not actual conversations. But just the signature of millions of cellphones. What can 10 drones pick up going over an area?’

‘That’s a legitimate test,’ he said. ‘They’re not invading your privacy. That’s legitimate data. And that’s a f–king capability.’

And what better place to do that than New Jersey, the country’s most densely populated state.

‘That would be my number one guess: It’s a very closely held program, and they’re doing what they need to do to ensure their technology actually works,’ said Emerson.

‘The beauty of a [special access program] is they’re kinda in their own lawless little world,’ Emerson said. ‘They can go do whatever they want, and they don’t have to tell anybody.’

Kelly McCann, a security expert and former Marine special missions officer who worked for the Office of Naval Research, echoed Emerson’s comments and said he thinks the government is testing out some ‘operational capacity.’ ”

So, applying this line of reasoning to the historical record of UFO sightings and encounters going all the way back to 1952 in the United States, this means virtually all of those episodes were the Pentagon testing, demonstrating, training in the use of top-secret programs.

Everything from those saucers over Washington, D.C., while Harry Truman was president, to those UFOs that disabled nuclear missile launch systems in the 1960s, the giant triangle over the Hudson Valley in the 1980s, the Phoenix Lights in 1997, the other giant triangle witnessed by police officers over rural Illinois in 2000, the Tic Tac in 2004, the flying disc over Chicago O’Hare in 2006, etc., etc. …

It was never E.T.

It was always the Pentagon.

Anyway, thank you New York Post for finally publishing the obvious!

About Those Mystery New Jersey Drones: For the Pentagon, this is Business as Usual

So, the recent episode of mystery drones flying over New Jersey is nothing, well, new; it’s just another page from the long and storied history of the UFO saga in this country, and it all goes back to the Pentagon.

It’s a story that begins with those flying saucers over Washington, D.C., in 1952, and includes that huge triangular thing over the Hudson Valley in the 1980s, the Phoenix lights in 1997 and various and sundry other UFO flaps over the decades.

As crazy as it sounds, all of these episodes have just been the Pentagon flying its top-secret toys … testing, training, psyops, sending not-so-veiled messages to the public and to our adversaries alike.

It was never E.T.

Sorry, Steven Spielberg, but it just wasn’t.

Anyway, here’s a story in northjersey.com that captures some of the frustrations of local officials, in bold print and quotes. (https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2024/12/08/officials-demand-action-on-drone-sightings/76851064007/)

” ‘A group of Morris County mayors and other local elected officials are demanding answers and action by authorities concerning the multiple sightings of drones in North Jersey in recent weeks.

‘We look at it this way,” they wrote. “Either higher level officials know what’s going on and are not concerned or they are negligent for not apprehending and identifying one of these drones.

‘We strongly request a proactive approach be taken on the half of the residents of New Jersey and Morris County,’ they wrote. ‘These drones have to land at some point somewhere and these offices need to follow them and identify where they are going and who owns them and is operating them.’

Residents ‘pay a fortune for government,’ they wrote, and ‘right now either our government is keeping us in the dark or they are failing to act on taxpayers concerns over these unidentified drones.’ “

To this, I say, the government has been keeping us all in the dark for many decades.
