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.

Pentagon’s Former Top UFO Hunter Confirms to Scientific American that Many Sightings Represent U.S. Tech ‘Edge’ Over Adversaries, and We Should ‘Take Some Comfort in That.’

There are some nuggets of news in this interesting interview in Scientific American with the Pentagon’s former top UFO hunter, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/the-governments-former-ufo-hunter-has-a-lot-to-say

My main takeaway is that Dr. Kirkpatrick confirmed, again, that many UFO sightings, even those by experienced military aviators, are not encounters with space aliens at all, but top-secret U.S. military tech. He also says these objects likely represent a technological “edge” over our adversaries.

Here are some of his key comments, in exchanges with journalist Dan Vergano, in brackets and bolded:

[Vergano: It’s fair to say that you had access to all the classified world that people have pointed to before as hiding some sort of program like this in the past, and you looked there, and you found no evidence of this story that the government has somehow been sitting on aliens for the last 60-plus years.

Kirkpatrick: That’s right. So everything that people have pointed to, we went and investigated and found no evidence to support that. Again, a lot of these things are real R&D or real state-of- the-art programs, not extraterrestrial, but it is completely understandable why someone who did not know that would draw that conclusion.

Vergano: You know, there’s been a lot of concern that excessive classification is playing a role here, that people can’t even knock down these claims. Is that a fair complaint, or how would you describe that? Like, you can’t tell somebody that they didn’t see something they’re not to see because you’re not allowed to talk about it. Has that been a factor here?

Kirkpatrick: Uh, in some instances, yes, obviously, because if somebody inadvertently got access to something or had unauthorized access to something, you can’t go and explain to them everything about it. And so that’s where you get into another issue of who actually has access to that information on the Hill. Most people don’t understand [that] congressional members don’t all get access to everything.

Vergano: Is there anything you’d say to the more general reader, like, who thinks, “Okay, well, people aren’t talking about UFOs—the government must know something,” I mean, like, who maybe are maybe more amenable to, like, a reasonable argument?

Kirkpatrick: Well, what I would say is that the government spends a lot of time and effort developing advanced technology for a variety of reasons. Some of this is just people having observed things or seen things or got access to things that they shouldn’t have—that they don’t understand. And just because they don’t understand it, they seem to leap to “it must be extraterrestrial,” as opposed to, well, it could just be maybe the United States has an edge. So I would take some comfort in that.]

So, there you have it, further confirmation that many UFOs are top-secret U.S. weapons.

But doesn’t this inject a dose of irony into the whole UFO conversation, since the government’s own UFO investigations have inadvertently revealed the existence of top-secret U.S. platforms?

I also feel that we are dancing around the eight-hundred-pound gorilla in the room: the flying “Tic Tac”  encountered by U.S. military pilots, which seemingly defied the laws of physics. This encounter was in 2004, so I think we can rule out that it was our adversaries. We would surely have known by now that China or Russia had made this kind of quantum leap in propulsion technology.

Therefore, if it’s not E.T., and it’s not our adversaries, that means the U.S. military has made a quantum leap in propulsion technology.

This seems kind of important … just saying …

CNN Commentary and Peter Bergen Podcast About UFOs Highlight Ironic Truth: The Government’s Own Investigations Have Unwittingly Revealed Existence of Top-Secret U.S. Aircraft

So, there’s been a fair amount of media coverage of Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick’s rather astonishing interview with podcaster and CNN national security maven Peter Bergen.

Here is a link to CNN’s commentary about the podcast.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/26/opinions/ufos-actual-truth-bergen-german/index.html

The authors conclude that their main takeaway is that the ongoing UFO saga in this country has been perpetuated by a small group of fanatics who ignore rational explanations. Fair enough, but perhaps a more important takeaway is that the UFO investigations undertaken by the government have unwittingly revealed the existence of top-secret U.S. aircraft.

Here is a bit of the CNN commentary, bolded and in brackets, that supports this crazy idea:

[Since the term “flying saucer” was first coined, much of the conspiratorial thinking about UFOs has been spawned by people catching glimpses of highly secret US aircraft and wanting answers. And when the government doesn’t provide answers, the public imagination takes over.

But, in fact, Kirkpatrick says, his investigation found that most UFO sightings are of advanced technology that the US government needs to keep secret, of aircraft that rival nations are using to spy on the US or of benign civilian drones and balloons.

Kirkpatrick says his office dug deep into the Roswell incident and found that in the late 1940s and early 1950s, there were a lot of things happening near the Roswell Airfield. There was a spy program called Project Mogul, which launched long strings of oddly shaped metallic balloons. They were designed to monitor Soviet nuclear tests and were highly secret.

At the same time, the US military was conducting tests with other high-altitude balloons that carried human test dummies rigged with sensors and zipped into body-sized bags for protection against the elements. And there was at least one military plane crash nearby with 11 fatalities.

Echoing earlier government investigations, Kirkpatrick and his team concluded that the crashed Mogul balloons, the recovery operations to retrieve downed test dummies and glimpses of the charred aftermath of that real plane crash likely combined into a single false narrative about a crashed alien spacecraft.

Kirkpatrick also lays out a convincing case that something similar is happening today. He says new technology taking flight now could help explain a lot of the modern era of UFO sightings from the early 2000s on. It’s not just secret government technology, either. Lots of observers get flummoxed when they catch sight of cutting-edge drones and even odd-looking balloons.]

So, yes, Dr. Kirkpatrick points out the specious nature of UFO tall tales, and this is crucial.

However, in reviewing the various high-profile UFO sightings and encounters over the years, it also becomes obvious that just because the UFOs aren’t extraterrestrial, that doesn’t mean there isn’t something else going on here. That “something” is top-secret U.S. weapons and programs, which, at least in some cases, strongly suggest the existence of advanced propulsion systems capable of incredible performance.

Maybe this revelation is almost as significant as the discovery of extraterrestrials. After all, we may already possess the means to travel to E.T.’s neighborhood. Moreover, this quantum leap in transportation technology, if it does exist, is apparently unknown to Congress and even the executive branch of government, meaning its development and deployment are entirely without oversight.

Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick tells Peter Bergen those UFOs are not E.T., but spherical drones and top-secret U.S. military platforms

Here’s an interesting development in the UFO story: Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick has told podcaster Peter Bergen the UFOs are not extraterrestrial, but top-secret U.S. weapons and new types of spherical drones that could be foreign.

Here are two articles about the interview, one published by a media company called Futurism, and the other in the Daily Mail newspaper.

https://futurism.com/the-byte/pentagon-alien-hunter-ufos-military

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-12992321/UFOs-ex-CIA-scientist-dubbed-Dr-Evil-Pentagon-AARO-cube-sphere-UFO-drone.html

I found these comments (bolded and in brackets) in the Futurism article to be especially relevant:  

[“There [are] a lot of observations of real, advanced US programs,” Sean Kirkpatrick, the now-former director of the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), told CNN’s Peter Bergen in a new podcast interview. “But none of that is extraterrestrial in nature.”

As Kirkpatrick put it during his appearance on Bergen’s Audible podcast “In The Room,” lots of the initially unidentified crafts folks have historically spotted, from Roswell to those weird Chinese spy balloons, were the result of various secret military, intelligence, or even commercial projects.

“There are a number of advanced technologies that are being commercialized that people don’t recognize,” the veteran Defense Department official, who retired from government service in December, told Bergen.

There’s long been speculation — and some official confirmation — that there are military explanations for UFO sightings, and Kirkpatrick’s recent interviews after leaving the AARO and Pentagon have all but confirmed those suspicions. In his discussion with Bergen, he even explained the dynamics of some of the stranger sightings he’s aware of.

“There’s a large number of people, pilots, and others, who you know, have said, ‘Hey, I saw this giant sphere. It had a cube in it, I don’t understand it, it must be an alien.’ Well, actually, no,” Kirkpatrick said. “The next generation of drones that are being built are spherical drones.”]

Bergen is the host of the Audible podcast “In the Room” and a CNN national security analyst.

So, there you have it. The UFOs are still NOT E.T.

After New UFO Briefing, Some Members of Congress Say Pentagon, Intelligence Community are Withholding Information

This NewsNation account of today’s UFO briefing for members of Congress (Jan. 12, 2024) pretty much sums up the whole dilemma: The Pentagon and intelligence community are not telling Congress the truth about UFOs.

House committee receives classified UAP briefing

You know my opinion: It has nothing to do with extraterrestrials and everything to do with top-secret U.S. military hardware, and Congress simply lacks a “need to know.”

So, the Pentagon can’t admit that it’s made a series of astonishing propulsion breakthroughs over the years because then the secret weapons would no longer be, well, secret.

Meanwhile, David Grusch and others are being fed some industrial-strength disinformation designed to muddy the waters, confuse the herd, make us all think that it just might be E.T.

Anyway, here are some key comments from members of Congress:

“I’m more concerned than I was going into the skiff, and I think that they have a lot of questions that remain unanswered,” Democratic Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois told NewsNation. “Mr. Grush has made allegations that we’re still trying to figure out the veracity of and we haven’t gotten the answers that we need.”

“There is a movement, whether it’s within the Intelligence Community or not, to prevent us from finding out more information on this,” said Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida. “So, we are going to do what we need to do as investigators to continue to pull on whatever strings and see where they lead.”

New York Times UFO Commentary Instructs Whistleblowers to ‘Show Their Cards,’ But Maybe the Deck is Rigged

Interesting UFO commentary today (Dec. 16, 2023) in the New York Times, under the headline: It’s Time for U.F.O. Whistle-blowers to Show Their Cards

But what if the Pentagon cannot reveal what it knows about UFOs because the UFOs are top-secret weapons? What if the UFOs have never had anything to do with space aliens, not even going all the way back to Kenneth Arnold’s seminal sighting in 1947 near Mount Rainier? What if the Pentagon’s UFO office, AARO, simply cannot “get to the bottom” of the UFO mystery because it’s part of the whole subterfuge? And what if the Pentagon has never actually accepted the notion of UFO transparency, and it only displays a façade of such because it has been forced to do so by Congress?

Further, what if the UFOs are the result of propulsion systems under development since the end of World War II and we all just think they’re extraterrestrial because of popular culture and the Pentagon’s own very effective disinformation program, which is good enough to convince people like David Grusch?

I would imagine Mr. Grusch was fed professional-grade disinformation, possibly in the form of faked data, documents, bogus witness accounts, etc.

Why? So that instead of casting a suspicious gaze toward the Pentagon, the media will become mired in the bottomless swamp of E.T. hypotheses, asking endless questions about space aliens, interdimensional beings, time travelers, crashed aliens, whether the Vatican knows and various “we are not alone” fantasies.

Sure, perhaps now that Grusch has vowed to reveal more of what he was told, we will get a better understanding of the disinformation products upon which he bases his claims. On the other hand, these specious materials might only take us further down the infinite and interconnected rabbit holes of E.T. fictions.

The biggest scandal here is that the Pentagon might have developed and is possibly even operating weapons that represent a quantum leap in propulsion technology, entirely without congressional oversight. Moreover, these weapons might be hiding in plain sight under the guise of E.T. visitations, shielded from Congress and the public through the Pentagon’s robust “black budget.”

I agree with David Grusch: whatever their origin, UFOs are a ‘government transparency issue’

NewsNation informs us that David Grusch has been given permission to tell more of what he was allegedly told by his sources regarding UFOs. 

David Grusch: Congress’ pared-down UAP measure a ‘total failure’

I think it should be fairly obvious by now that he was fed some industrial-strength disinformation, good enough, in Grusch’s view, to justify filing a whistleblower complaint, an extreme measure, to be sure.

Said disinformation was probably in the form of faked documents, data and photos, designed to mire Grusch, and subsequently the media, in the E.T.-hypothesis swamp.

Anyway, perhaps now he will be more specific. I applaud Grusch for seeking the truth about UFOs. I really do sympathize with him; I just think he was fed a line of professional-grade crap.

Unfortunately, none of his efforts will reveal the presence of E.T. because it isn’t E.T.

It’s our own Pentagon, which evidently has made a series of astonishing propulsion breakthroughs, concealed in plain sight under the guise of E.T. visitation.

So, why the disinformation?

Because whenever people start touting ideas about multiple UFO crashes, E.T. corpses, the Vatican knows and myriad and sundry other fictions, the fourth estate for the most part stops paying attention. Instead of the major news organs inquiring into what exactly the Pentagon is up to, we have nothing but silence. Meanwhile, the secondary media are squawking up a storm, harping on every manner of the E.T. hypothesis, a swamp from which it will never emerge. 

Here’s the reality:

1. Space aliens light years ahead of Homo sapiens wouldn’t travel trillions of miles from another solar system only to crash land, multiple times, and then spend an inordinate amount of time over obscure U.S. military training ranges – coincidentally, during military training exercises – where they are encountered by Navy pilots.

By the way, it’s worth noting that human beings have only personally visited one other planetary body, and we had no trouble landing: That’s what that whole Neil Armstrong eagle-has-landed thing was all about. ‘Cause, see, we practiced the landing ahead of time so that we would know how to do it. Brilliant, eh?! That’s the problem with these space aliens; they don’t practice …

But, I digress.

2. It’s not foreign adversaries because the “Tic Tac” encounter happened in 2004. You think Russia or China has had this kind of technological advantage since then, nearly twenty years ago, and they haven’t served up a can of whup-ass all this time?

Balderdash! 

3. That leaves our own Pentagon, an organization that has enjoyed the largest military budget of any country in the world for decades, including a “black budget” containing billions of dollars year after year after year going all the way back to the Cold War’s earliest days, shrouding its R&D from public scrutiny, indeed, even from Congress and the executive branch. The most secretive entity in the history of man, the Pentagon wouldn’t even share its nuclear knowhow with the Brits – AFTER THE END OF WORLD WAR II.

So, whatever efforts we take to uncover what our government knows about extraterrestrials will prove futile because there is simply no evidence, just a multidimensional hall of smoke and mirrors that goes on forever and very effectively serves the purposes of deception, confusion, distraction, misdirection …

The Pentagon is driving this bus, and we’re all just along for the ride.

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.
