Bravo to Dr. Avi Loeb: The Schumer-Rounds Amendment to the Defense Bill Won’t Reveal Any Truths if the UFOs Aren’t E.T., But Rather a Product of Our Own Pentagon

In his commentary published today (Dec. 11, 2023) in The Messenger, I think Dr. Avi Loeb nails it when he says efforts at E.T. transparency won’t reveal any truths if the UFOs aren’t extraterrestrial, but rather products of our own Pentagon, or military-industrial complex:  

https://themessenger.com/news/congresss-space-uap-ufo-claims-point-new-physics-or-misinformation

I found these two paragraphs to be most interesting. From The Messenger commentary:

“Given all of that, the fundamental question is whether Grusch possibly exaggerated or even misinterpreted Defense Department information that was brought to his attention — or perhaps repeated unsubstantiated claims that potentially cover up secret research programs within the U.S. military-industrial complex. Although there might be people out there who wish to misinform the American public or adversarial countries, we do not know if this is the case with these or any UAP claims.

“Deciding whether to believe UAP buzz has consequences. Congress is currently debating the level of public disclosure that should be applied to its UAP data. Around the time of Grusch’s testimony, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), ranking member of the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity for the Armed Services Committee, crafted an amendment, the UAP Disclosure Act of 2023, intended to be part of 2024 Defense funding legislation. If Grusch’s testimony reflects misinformation, Congress should ignore the proposed amendment because it would lead to a waste of resources and unwarranted public attention — and not produce the data or evidence that could be used to verify such claims.”

I would take this line of reasoning a little further, adding that it likely isn’t merely “misinformation,” but organized, relentless, professional-grade DISinformation that led to Grusch’s whistleblower saga.

I mean, after all, if Mr. Grusch is not a willing purveyor of disinformation, then we have to assume he was led to believe these things through a sophisticated effort that included faked documents, data, photos, bogus eye-witness claims, etc. In other words, he was fed disinformation from people on the inside.

Anyway, thanks for Dr. Avi Loeb for his insights!

Since UFOs Aren’t Extraterrestrial, Congress’s Efforts at ‘Transparency’ Won’t Reveal Any Truths

I read with great interest this article in the Daily Beast about the alleged UFO-transparency language inserted into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

https://www.thedailybeast.com/congress-is-taking-a-huge-step-toward-ufo-transparencyand-lawmakers-pushing-for-the-truth-arent-happy

The UFO legislation aims to compel the Pentagon to reveal secrets about objects piloted by space aliens. Problem is, the UFOs have nothing to do with E.T.  These aeronautical phantoms have always just been Uncle Sam, from Kenneth Arnold’s seminal sighting in 1947, to the flying saucer encounters over Washington, D.C., in 1952, and all the way to the present day.

The sightings are the result of astonishing propulsion breakthroughs, kept under wraps and secretly perfected over the decades through the Pentagon’s thriving “black budget,” which keeps them hidden from Congress, the executive branch and the public. These are systems developed not by E.T., but by Homo sapiens, the same species that has brought us myriad technological, scientific and cultural wonders over the centuries, from nuclear weapons to lasers, microchips to nanotechnology to the Mona Lisa, the ancient aqueducts and numerous mysterious mechanisms of yore.

No assist from space aliens needed!

At the same time, awareness of these technologies is so ultra-compartmentalized that even other military personnel who encounter them do not have a “need to know.”

Adding to the public’s overall bewilderment, there has obviously been a very effective disinformation program aimed at confusing the masses into thinking the UFOs are E.T., but they aren’t. That’s popular culture, that’s Spielberg and the X-Files and numerous science-fiction fantasies that employ various plot elements to tell this story or that story.

Piggybacking on these fictional narratives, the Pentagon has brilliantly engineered a concerted, relentless and professional-grade disinformation campaign to ensure that the entire subject is shunned by the fourth estate and shunted to the fringe media. These said fringe media have worked tirelessly to focus the national conversation on endless conjectures about space aliens, interdimensional beings, time travelers, the “Vatican knows …” and various “we are not alone” scenarios.

So, we are led to believe that an extraterrestrial civilization light years ahead of the human race is traveling trillions of miles from another solar system, only to crash REPEATEDLY, and then hang out over obscure U.S. military training ranges where they are encountered by Navy pilots, all the while inexplicably terrorizing the denizens of places like rural Texas.

And, look, the disinformation is working well enough to convince very intelligent, technically-adept specialists like whistleblower David Grusch.

Meanwhile, there should be little doubt that the Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO, is a purveyor of UFO disinformation.

Exhibit A: Outgoing Director Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick has suggested that numerous “metallic orbs” might be flying around the world, making unusual maneuvers and such, and that some of these objects remain unknown. Fitting neatly into this story line, he has co-authored a research paper proposing that alien motherships could be visiting our solar system and sending “alien probes” to Earth.

Hence, this implies that the metallic orbs ARE these alien probes.

However, the supposed “orbs” are probably only balloons, as recently highlighted by a research group who determined one such orb captured on video in the Middle East was likely just a party balloon. (https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2023/10/24/isnt-that-a-balloon-deflating-a-dod-ufo-video/)

So, these technical boffins at Bellingcat have figured it out, but a physics Ph.D. brainiac like Dr. Kirkpatrick doesn’t know these things are just balloons?

Dr. Kirkpatrick has further reinforced the bogus extraterrestrial hypothesis by recently proclaiming that UFOs spotted by U.S. Navy pilots are either from adversarial nations or alien planets. 

But there’s an alternative view: The UFOs, notably the most sensational ones that perform seemingly physics-defying maneuvers, are neither foreign nor extraterrestrial. They are products of our own Pentagon, and they have been evolving steadily since the immediate postwar period.

At any rate, there have been tantalizing clues that the Pentagon could be harboring these propulsion secrets. For example, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., has made some VERY intriguing comments that appear to support the idea that some of the UFOs encountered by Navy pilots could be the product of “secret access programs” developed and operated entirely in the dark.

(Her comments can be heard in this video recorded Aug. 14, 2023, by The Post-Star newspaper in Glens Falls, N.Y., https://poststar.com/u-s-sen-kirsten-gillibrand-discusses-uaps/video_a1403028-3adc-11ee-95e2-6f6281509e11.html)

In essence, Sen. Gillibrand said information about these weapons could be restricted to those with a need to know only.  She also, VERY interestingly, compares the covertness surrounding secret access programs to extreme measures taken during the Manhattan Project to build the first atomic bomb. The senator appears to be saying that potential whistleblowers may be literally afraid to come forward, citing “under penalty of death” language in non-disclosure agreements.

Here is a segment that I transcribed from the video posted by The Post-Star newspaper:

Gillibrand: “So, Oppenheimer is about developing the bomb during World War II. And all those scientists who worked on that project had to sign non-disclosure agreements. And what I’ve heard about those non-disclosure agreements is that because it was wartime it had provisions that said including if you disclose under penalty of death.  And so the big worry is that the people who signed non-disclosure agreements to work on any type of program for the military that it had language in there that made them think that that was true. So, there is a lot of fear.

So, I don’t know if we’ll ever get to the bottom of it. I don’t know if we’ll ever get the information about special access programs that are need-to-know only, that Congress is not read in on. I’m trying to get to the bottom of it. I put a provision in the defense bill this year that said you can’t fund any special access programs if you don’t go through Congress …”

From a practical standpoint, what this all means is that potentially a quantum leap in propulsion technology that is arguably as significant as the invention of nukes has been developed and operated entirely without congressional oversight.

So, yes, there is a huge UFO coverup, but it has nothing to do with space aliens.

And the E.T. hypothesis is showing no signs of fading anytime soon. But you know what it really is?

The classic rope-a-dope, and we are all, collectively, the dope.

Final U.S. Defense Funding Bill for 2024 Appears to Severely Restrict UFO Transparency

Reading through the final National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), it appears to severely curtail efforts to increase the transparency of UFO or UAP phenomena.

Click to access FY24%20NDAA%20Conference%20Report%20-%20%20FINAL.pdf

At one point, it says UFO disclosure may be postponed if there is clear and convincing evidence that: the threat to the military defense, intelligence operations, or conduct of foreign relations of the United States posed by the public disclosure of the unidentified anomalous phenomena is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure, and such public disclosure would reveal … (Then it goes on to list items such as sensitive intelligence entities, sources and methods.)

The most restrictive language appears to be Section 1687, entitled, “LIMITATION ON USE OF FUNDS FOR CERTAIN UNREPORTED PROGRAMS”

I found items 5 and 6 to be especially intriguing. Anyway, unless I’m reading this incorrectly, the section appears to prohibit revelations related to:

(5) The development of propulsion technology, or aerospace craft that uses propulsion technology, systems, or subsystems that is based on or derived from or inspired by inspection, analysis, or reverse engineering of recovered unidentified anomalous phenomena craft or materials; and (6) Any aerospace craft that uses propulsion technology other than chemical propellants, solar power, and electric ion thrust.

I guess the obvious question is, what other types of propulsion are there?

If I’m misreading this document, I stand corrected! There just hasn’t been any coverage yet in the media, except for a few very brief articles.

UFO Commentary in The Hill buries the lede: The UFOs Are Classified U.S. Weapons, And Some Members of Congress Know This

This opinion piece in The Hill correctly singles out a HUGE issue: The Pentagon, and some members of Congress, don’t want information about UFOs coming out.

However, this isn’t because the UFOs are extraterrestrial. This is because the UFOs are classified top-secret weapons, a fact not lost on members of Congress who are trying to thwart efforts at UFO transparency.

Why are key Republicans resisting transparency on UFOs?

I would argue that when the late, great Sen. Harry Reid launched his investigation, this revealed recent UFO encounters within the American military, while at the same time unwittingly exposing top-secret U.S. weapons, the knowledge of which is extremely compartmentalized, so much so that even the Navy pilots who encountered these objects did not have a “need to know.”

Meanwhile, we have some media organs falling for what is obvious Pentagon disinformation, being distributed in easily digestible bitesize nuggets by the Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO.

Exhibit A: Outgoing Director Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick has suggested that numerous, mysterious metallic orbs might be flying around the world, making unusual maneuvers and such. Fitting neatly into this storyline, he has co-authored a scientific paper proposing that alien motherships could be visiting our solar system and sending “alien probes” to Earth.

Hence, this implies that the metallic orbs ARE these alien probes.

The problem is, the supposed “orbs” are probably only balloons, as recently highlighted by a research group who determined one such orb captured on video in the Middle East was likely just a mylar party balloon. (https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2023/10/24/isnt-that-a-balloon-deflating-a-dod-ufo-video/)

Dr. Kirkpatrick has further reinforced the bogus extraterrestrial hypothesis by recently proclaiming that UFOs spotted by U.S. Navy pilots are either from adversarial nations or alien planets. 

But there’s an alternative view: The UFOs, notably the most sensational ones that perform seemingly physics-defying maneuvers, are neither foreign nor extraterrestrial. They are products of our own Pentagon, and they have been evolving ever since the end of World War II. This is why Navy pilots encountered these objects over U.S. military training ranges. And they aren’t “experimental aircraft,” but fully operational platforms that use a different type of propulsion technology having nothing to do with space aliens. A quantum leap brought to us not by E.T., but by the same species that has invented nuclear weapons, lasers, microchips, nanotechnology, fiberoptics, calculus, non-linear algebra, the Mona Lisa, etc., etc. No assist from space aliens needed!

According to this “terrestrial hypothesis” for UFOs, these vehicles have been steadily refined and perfected over the decades entirely in the dark with the help of the Pentagon’s thriving “black budget,” which shrouds their existence from Congress, the executive branch, and the public.

And here we have the nature of the real scandal: A military technology that is arguably as pivotal as nuclear weapons has been developed and is likely being operated with virtually no oversight.  

So, if the American media want to get to the bottom of what’s happening, perhaps they need to stop looking toward the stars and start exploring the space a little closer to home: Our own Pentagon and military-industrial complex.

Granted, maybe this won’t sell as many newspapers or engender as many clicks. But it will prove more rewarding in the long run.

Grusch’s UFO Disinformation Campaign – Whether Deliberate or Otherwise – Is Working, as Illustrated in His Most Recent Claims on Joe Rogan’s Podcast

I’ve written before about what appears to be an extensive, relentless and highly effective Pentagon disinformation program to confuse, distract and deceive the public and the media about the entire subject of UFOs. In the latest chapter of this brilliant, ongoing disinformation juggernaut, we have UFO whistleblower David Grusch making a series of bizarre claims about UFOs on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Among his revelations: The Pentagon has recovered at least 10 alien bodies, a former U.S. president (presumably Obama) told him about said aliens, etc., etc.

Maybe he actually believes these things. Who knows? But from a practical standpoint, it really doesn’t matter whether he does or doesn’t. The result is the same: The public and the mainstream media pretty much ignore whether the Pentagon might have developed astonishing breakthroughs in propulsion technology, a quantum leap so outrageous that it might easily be mistaken for alien spacecraft. Instead, we have story after story posing the question, “Are we alone?”

Anyway, here are various articles about Grusch’s latest claims:

US has found ‘at least’ ten alien bodies in crashed UFOs, says whistleblower

UFO whistleblower calls out congressmen in Joe Rogan interview

https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/ex-us-intelligence-office-claims-us-has-variety-of-alien-bodies-4602888

https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/space/ufo-whistleblower-claims-us-has-variety-of-alien-bodies-interactions-may-have-occurred/news-story/158491ea3bb98e6a4e43574eb937b2dc

Grusch’s most recent complaint is that GOP Representatives Mike Turner of Ohio and Mike Rogers of Alabama are trying to block the disclosure of ET by not supporting a proposed amendment to the country’s annual defense bill that would force the U.S. government and the Pentagon to disclose programs related to space aliens.

At any rate, as I was saying, whether Grusch is part of, or a victim of, the Pentagon’s professional-grade disinformation machine, the result is the same: People (and the majority of the American media) read these articles with a chuckle and then look the other way.

And it all fits the same playbook going back decades. You find a source with impressive credentials. Then, you inject said source into the public domain either as a willing participant or a dupe, and you watch the media churn.

In the end, people are left scratching their heads, but that’s about it.

No one suspects that the entire operation is part of an effort to lead the media astray so that journalists won’t suspect that the Pentagon has made a series of propulsion breakthroughs, hidden in plain sight under the guise of ET visitations.

And if you don’t think the strategy is working, look at who’s paying attention to Grusch’s latest proclamations: VIRTUALLY NOBODY!

I mean, after all, if Mr. Grusch is not a willing purveyor of disinformation, then we have to assume he was led to believe these things through a sophisticated effort that included faked documents, data, photos, bogus eye-witness claims, etc. In other words, he was fed disinformation from people on the inside. Yet, no U.S. media organs have shown any overt interest in learning how or why this occurred and who’s responsible.

I would argue that the Grusch saga fits perfectly into the legacy of a well-organized disinformation machine going all the way back to 1952, when generals in full military panoply told journalists those saucers over Washington, D.C., were caused by an atmospheric phenomenon called a “temperature inversion.”

In actuality, I propose, those UFO sightings over our nation’s capital were part of a demonstration ordered by President Truman to prove the superiority of these vehicles. After all, Truman had ordered a similar demonstration earlier in his presidency for the Flying Wing aircraft, which flew over Pennsylvania Avenue at rooftop level in 1949.

Unfortunately for Northrop Corporation, the event was later marred by engine failure, setting back the project.

Not so for the flying saucers demonstration. In fact, under this “terrestrial hypothesis” for UFOs – i.e., it’s not ET, but human beings who invented antigravity — Truman was so intrigued that he ordered a follow-up flyover the next weekend to see how well the machines would outperform state-of-the-art jet fighters.

Well, they performed magnificently, which would have engendered more financial backing for the fledgling antigravity program.

Yes, InsideHook, we’ve always been asking the wrong question about UFOs: Instead of ‘are we alone?’ we might have been asking ‘are we being deceived by the Pentagon?’

I noticed an article about yet another UFO book – this new offering by celebrated author and journalist Garrett M. Graff – and it seems to indicate that the American media might finally be getting it: Yes, there’s a gigantic UFO coverup, but it has nothing to do with space aliens.

Better late than never!

Appearing in a publication called InsideHook, the article touches on an excerpt from Graff’s book that was recently showcased in The Atlantic.

https://www.insidehook.com/culture/we-asking-wrong-questions-ufos

I would argue that until recently the Fourth Estate has snubbed the entire subject of UFOs, leaving it to the realm of so-called “ufologists,” who have always been asking the wrong question. Instead of wondering incessantly whether we’re alone in the universe, they should have been asking whether the Pentagon has developed secret weapons that are so different from conventional aircraft that they could be confused with alien spacecraft.

Unfortunately, the people who have chosen to investigate UFOs are fully invested – both emotionally and financially – in the extraterrestrial hypothesis (i.e., the UFOs are E.T.), which has dominated the whole national conversation about UFOs since the beginning. So, if you set out to prove the UFOs are extraterrestrial, you’re going to find E.T. no matter what.

But there’s an alternative view: The E.T. hypothesis is nothing more than a powerful myth created and reinforced by popular culture and the Pentagon’s own disinformation apparatus.

Perhaps what ufologists should have been asking all along is whether the Department of Defense has developed propulsion breakthroughs since the end of World War II, funded through the Pentagon’s thriving “black budget,” which keeps these innovations hidden from Congress, the executive branch and the public.

If true, this would mean there has been absolutely no oversight for a quantum leap in military technology that is arguably as important as the development of nuclear weapons. Or, possibly even a series of breakthroughs, which if commercialized would literally change the trajectory of human civilization, revolutionizing the transportation industry.

As to why the Pentagon would be flying these weapons over populated areas, maybe 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. After all, there are examples of military training exercises taking place over cities. 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

At the same time, there appears to be an ongoing disinformation program 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. 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 the UFOs are extraterrestrials, or they are just making money off the E.T. hypothesis.

We’re talking about relentless, industrial-strength disinformation, good enough to fool technical experts like UFO whistleblower David Grusch.

So, following this “terrestrial hypothesis” a little further, the Pentagon can’t tell the truth about UFOs without exposing top-secret weapons. The DoD’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), therefore, will never be able to really “get to the bottom” of the UFO mystery because it’s part of the Pentagon, which is responsible for the UFOs in the first place.

That would mean the whole marketing narrative that the Pentagon is suddenly pursuing a policy of UFO “transparency” is totally bogus.  In fact, you could argue that the Pentagon simply cannot be more candid about this subject without endangering national security.

Adding to the whole disinformation aspect, AARO’s outgoing director, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, has curiously co-authored a scientific paper proposing that extraterrestrial motherships could be visiting our solar system and sending “alien probes” to Earth. He has also suggested that metallic orbs have been detected flying all around the Earth — this includes a mysterious object observed recently over the Middle East — and that some of these orbs are showing unusual characteristics.

Hence, the implication is that the metallic orbs ARE the alien probes. And, see, it’s all backed up with hard science in a research paper authored by brainiac Ph.D. physicists! However, it’s worth pointing out that the “orb” seen over the Middle East has been shown to have likely just been a party balloon.

Anyway, thank you Mr. Graff!

AARO is purveying UFO disinformation when its director pens a research paper about ‘alien probes’ and suggests E.T. might be in our ‘back yard’

By now there should be little doubt that the Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO, is a purveyor of UFO disinformation.

Exhibit A: Outgoing Director Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick has suggested that numerous “metallic orbs” might be flying around the world, making unusual maneuvers and such, and that these objects could be extraterrestrial. Fitting neatly into this story line, he has co-authored a research paper proposing that alien motherships could be visiting our solar system and sending “alien probes” to Earth.

Hence, this implies that the metallic orbs could be these alien probes.

The problem is, the supposed “orbs” are probably only balloons, as recently highlighted by a research group that determined one such orb captured on video in the Middle East was likely just a party balloon. (https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2023/10/24/isnt-that-a-balloon-deflating-a-dod-ufo-video/)

Dr. Kirkpatrick has further reinforced the bogus extraterrestrial hypothesis by recently proclaiming that UFOs spotted by U.S. Navy pilots are either from adversarial nations or alien planets. 

But there’s an alternative view: The UFOs, notably the most sensational ones that perform seemingly physics-defying maneuvers, are neither foreign nor extraterrestrial. They are products of our own Pentagon, and they have been evolving ever since the end of World War II, when U.S. pilots observed mysterious glowing objects over the European theater.

Some have proposed that these were a product of Nazi Germany. We know that times of war provide a unique catalyst for the development of radically novel technologies. We know that the Nazis brought us Wernher von Braun, who led work to develop Germany’s V-2 ballistic missile and who was a critical force in the design of NASA’s Saturn V moon rocket and the early success of the U.S. space program; the Nazis brought us designs for the first jet-powered flying wing aircraft; the Nazis brought us the first turbine engines and jet aircraft; the Nazis brought us the first operational cruise missile. Of course, along the way they brutally murdered thousands of slave laborers.

It is an ugly fact of history that the United States didn’t seem to have many ethical or moral reservations when it came to employing former Nazi scientists and engineers after the war. We did not hesitate to capitalize on Nazi-era advances in our struggle to establish global dominance and keep pace with the Soviets during the burgeoning Cold War that pitted both nuclear powers against each other. So, there is precedent for Nazi scientists and engineers being embedded into American research and development programs.

Then, according to this “terrestrial hypothesis” for UFOs, after the war, just as von Braun was helping the United States gain space dominance, other Nazi scientists and engineers were helping the Pentagon develop advanced field-propulsion platforms. Call them flying saucers, if you like.

Fast-forward to the year 2023, and these vehicles have been steadily evolving, entirely in the dark with the help of the Pentagon’s thriving “black budget,” which shrouds knowledge of them from Congress, the executive branch, and the public.

When the late, great Sen. Harry Reid launched his investigation into UFOs, this exposed recent UFO encounters by U.S. Navy pilots. But these UFOs weren’t extraterrestrial. They were top-secret U.S. weapons, the knowledge of which is extremely compartmentalized, so much so that even the Navy pilots who encountered them did not have a “need to know.”

So, the UFOs were never extraterrestrial. The entire E.T. hypothesis, therefore, is nothing more than a powerful myth created and reinforced by popular culture and the Pentagon’s own disinformation apparatus.

Why?

Because so long as people, and the media, believe the UFOs are extraterrestrial, they won’t suspect that the Pentagon has achieved a series of propulsion breakthroughs. In this column in The Hill, we see how effective the Pentagon’s ongoing disinformation efforts have been: https://thehill.com/opinion/national-security/4301944-aliens-or-a-foreign-power-pentagon-ufo-chief-says-someone-is-in-our-backyard/

At any rate, under the terrestrial hypothesis, AARO can’t “get to the bottom” of the ongoing UFO mystery because in doing so it would be exposing top-secret Pentagon weapons.

This may sound too fantastic, but is it any crazier than space aliens traveling trillions of miles from another solar system, only to crash repeatedly, then to hang out over obscure U.S. military training ranges, inexplicably tormenting the denizens of places like rural Texas?

Excellent Q&A in Politico, but was ‘alien probes’ research paper penned by AARO director a form of Pentagon disinformation?

This is an excellent Q&A in Politico in which Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the Defense Department’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, was asked some pointed questions, chief among them whether he regretted penning a scientific paper about the possibility that “alien probes” might be visiting Earth.

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/11/12/sean-kirkpatrick-ufos-pentagon-00126214

Here is a key exchange between Politico writer Lara Seligman and Kirkpatrick:

(Seligman: Is that why you wrote that paper with Harvard professor Avi Loeb about the theory that UAPs are probes from an alien mothership?

Kirkpatrick: That was the start of that work where we were looking at, if you want to believe these hypotheses, what are the signatures that you would expect to see from that? Because if I don’t see any of those signatures, with any of the data that we see, then that’s not a valid hypothesis. That’s how science works. Right? You have to have a hypothesis. You have to have measurables with that hypothesis, and then your data has to meet it. And you have to lay that out in a peer-reviewed journal so that you have something to pin it against.

Seligman: That paper though with your name attached made it look like you were backing the theory. Is this something that you regret?

Kirkpatrick: That paper was in draft when it was leaked. We hadn’t actually finished that paper and it needed a lot of editing before it went out.

Seligman: It wasn’t leaked. Avi Loeb posted it online.

Kirkpatrick: Well, yeah, he posted it without permission.

Seligman: Do you regret your involvement in that?

Kirkpatrick: No, because it’s the same principle. We are standing up for the facts. We are standing up for the scientific method. And this is how you go about doing it. You either do it or you don’t.)

You could argue that this paper was possibly a form of disinformation, intentional or otherwise, that fits perfectly into a playbook going all the way back to 1952, when generals in full military panoply told a roomful of journalists that those flying saucers over Washington, D.C., were nothing more than an atmospheric phenomenon called a “temperature inversion.”

I propose it was actually a demonstration ordered by then President Harry Truman, much as he had ordered a similar demonstration of the flying wing aircraft in 1949, when the plane buzzed the White House in attempts to prove its potential prowess.

So, why would the Pentagon want us all to think UFOs just might be E.T.? It could all be an elaborate diversion engineered to maintain secrecy because when you entangle the subject of UFOs within the intellectual quagmire of extraterrestrial visitations, you relegate the entire subject to the fringe. Then, instead of wondering whether the Pentagon might have achieved a series of propulsion breakthroughs, the conversation gets mired down with incessant questions about aliens, time travelers, interdimensional beings, ruminations over what the Vatican knows, and various “we are not alone” scenarios.

In articles about his upcoming departure, Kirkpatrick has suggested that the UFOs encountered by U.S. Navy pilots over military training ranges are either space aliens or foreign adversaries.

Excuse me, sir, but there’s another possibility. That these could be top-secret U.S. military platforms that harness a different kind of propulsion technology. Knowledge of such weapons could be ultra-compartmentalized so that even the pilots who encounter these objects don’t have a “need to know.”

And these are not necessarily “experimental” platforms, but rather fully operational weapons.  After all, these objects were encountered over military training ranges.

So, this notion of E.T. visitation – the extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs that has dominated the conversation so far – could be nothing more than a powerful myth created and reinforced by popular culture and the Pentagon’s own disinformation apparatus. 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 advanced field propulsion technology – call it antigravity, if you like – 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 Congress.

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 while shrouded entirely from Congress, the executive branch and the public.

As to why the Pentagon would be flying these weapons over populated areas, maybe 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 hang out over obscure U.S. military training ranges, inexplicably tormenting the denizens of places like rural Texas.

There have been tantalizing clues that the Pentagon could be harboring top-secret weapons under cover of national security. For example, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., has fairly recently made some VERY intriguing comments that appear to support the idea that some of the UFOs encountered by Navy pilots could be the product of “secret access programs” developed and operated entirely in the dark.

(Her comments can be heard in this video recorded Aug. 14, 2023, by The Post-Star newspaper in Glens Falls, N.Y., https://poststar.com/u-s-sen-kirsten-gillibrand-discusses-uaps/video_a1403028-3adc-11ee-95e2-6f6281509e11.html)

In essence, Sen. Gillibrand said information about these weapons could be restricted to those with a need to know only.  She also, VERY interestingly, compares the covertness surrounding secret access programs to extreme measures taken during the Manhattan Project to build the first atomic bomb. The senator appears to be saying that potential whistleblowers may be literally afraid to come forward, citing “under penalty of death” language in non-disclosure agreements.

Here is a segment that I transcribed from the video posted by The Post-Star newspaper:

Gillibrand: “So, Oppenheimer is about developing the bomb during World War II. And all those scientists who worked on that project had to sign non-disclosure agreements. And what I’ve heard about those non-disclosure agreements is that because it was wartime it had provisions that said including if you disclose under penalty of death.  And so the big worry is that the people who signed non-disclosure agreements to work on any type of program for the military that it had language in there that made them think that that was true. So, there is a lot of fear.

So, I don’t know if we’ll ever get to the bottom of it. I don’t know if we’ll ever get the information about special access programs that are need-to-know only, that Congress is not read in on. I’m trying to get to the bottom of it. I put a provision in the defense bill this year that said you can’t fund any special access programs if you don’t go through Congress …”

Sen. Gillibrand seems to be alluding to a conflict between Congress and the Pentagon, with the Pentagon restricting access to information that is directly related to UFO sightings.

Getting back to Dr. Kirkpatrick and AARO, he and it can’t really “get to the bottom” of the UFO mystery in this country because, in doing so, they would be revealing top-secret U.S. weapons.

At the same time, the American media have been unable or unwilling to plumb the depths of this issue. For example, there have been NO articles about whether the foreign military branches in, say, Europe and Asia, are experiencing the same epidemic of UFO encounters as the U.S. Navy.

I’m not talking about thirty years ago, but now. Are the foreign military branches CURRENTLY experiencing the same sort of mysterious encounters in their own restricted airspace?

This would seem to be a logical question. After all, it’s a big planet. Are we to believe that E.T. is focusing solely on the U.S. military?

Balderdash!

We know of at least one foreign military that apparently isn’t having the same sorts of UFO incursions into its airspace: Australia’s.

Don’t you think, if the other major military powers thought they were being harassed by E.T. on a regular basis, that they would be freaking out, calling for some kind of urgent global investigation?

They aren’t.

And, when you come right down to it, the ONLY reason the Pentagon decided to “take UFOs seriously” is because it was forced to by a clueless Congress.

Now, why might that be?

Perhaps because the Pentagon already knows exactly what these are.

Pentagon’s AARO UFO Office Tells Potential Whistleblowers Not to Include “Sensitive or Classified” Information on New Reporting Form, But How Could it NOT Be Sensitive or Classified Information?

I’m racking my brain trying to figure out how UFO whistleblowers who work or worked for the government are going to report about their first-hand knowledge of top-secret UFO-related experiences without including “potentially sensitive or classified information.”

I mean, just by its very nature, such information would be sensitive and/or classified, right? And if people did report sensitive or classified information, would they be subject to punishment?

Here are a couple of articles in the mainstream media (the New York Post and Politico) reporting on the new development, announced on Oct. 31, 2023.

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!
