After Another Classified UFO Briefing, Congressman Says There’s a Coverup, And I Agree, But It Has Nothing To Do With Space Aliens

I see there was another one of those classified UFO briefings for members of Congress on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.

Hardly any media covered it. Here is an article in The Hill.

Rep. Tim Burchett on UFOs: ‘Yeah, I think there’s a cover-up’

This snippet from The Hill article is most relevant, in brackets and bolded:

[Following a classified briefing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), more commonly known as UFOs, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) suggested Wednesday that the U.S. government may be intentionally concealing information on these objects from the American public.

“I think there’s a cover up,” Burchett told Blake Burman on NewsNation’s “The Hill.”]

I wholeheartedly agree with Rep. Burchett: There is a HUGE coverup.

However, it has absolutely nothing to do with E.T. and everything to do with Pentagon secrecy about propulsion breakthroughs going back decades. All the evidence I’ve seen strongly suggests the UFOs are top-secret U.S. weapons, particularly the most sensational ones like the Tic Tac encountered by U.S. Navy pilots in 2004 over a U.S. military training range.

The Pentagon’s recent UFO report pretty much confirms as much, explicitly spelling out that UFO witnesses have unwittingly observed top-secret weapons and that they misidentified these technologies as extraterrestrial. The report also makes clear that public discussion of these programs would seriously damage national security.

Here are some excerpts from the UFO report that demonstrate these facts, bulleted, bolded and in brackets:

[• AARO assesses that some portion of sightings since the 1940s have represented misidentification of never-before-seen experimental and operational space, rocket, and air systems, including stealth technologies and the proliferation of drone platforms.

• AARO concludes many of these programs represent authentic, current and former sensitive, national security programs, but none of these programs have been involved with capturing, recovering, or reverse-engineering off-world technology or material.

• In many cases, the interviewees named authentic USG (U.S. government) classified programs well-known and understood to those appropriately accessed to them in the Executive Branch and Legislative Branch; however, the interviewees mistakenly associated these authentic USG programs with alien and extraterrestrial activity. 

• AARO assesses that all of the named and described alleged hidden UAP reverse-engineering programs provided by interviewees either do not exist; are misidentified authentic, highly-sensitive national security programs that are not related to extraterrestrial technology exploitation

• The interviewees and others who have mistakenly associated authentic sensitive national security programs with UAP had incomplete or unauthorized access to these programs; discussion of these programs outside of secure facilities presents a high risk of exposing national security information.]

Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, former head of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), has also reinforced these assertions in two opinion pieces published in Scientific American.

Here is an excerpt from one of his Op/Eds, bold and in brackets, and also here is a link to one of the pieces: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/we-need-to-investigate-ufos-but-without-the-distraction-of-conspiracy/

[There also is the possibility that some observed and reported phenomena are associated with past or ongoing national security programs completely unrelated to extraterrestrials. Unfortunately, some who have been peripherally involved in these programs are taking advantage of the lack of understanding of security compartmentalization among the public—and some members of Congress—and feel that exposure of national security activities is a public right.

The harm of such exposure would be incalculable: billions of dollars and decades invested in military capabilities exposed to our potential adversaries to satisfy ill-informed curiosity. While some staffers and members of Congress may claim that they and the American people have a right to know of every classified research program, Congress already has an established process for notification of sensitive programs to the bipartisan leadership of both the Senate and House as well as the chairs and ranking minority members of the Senate and House intelligence committees, often referred to as the Gang of Eight. It is incumbent on both the speaker of the House, the Senate majority leader and both chairs of the intelligence committees to ensure that there is no risk of exposing any national security programs in a rush to find extraterrestrials, and that documents are reviewed within appropriate channels. If these members of Congress deem it appropriate not to share classified information, they are doing their job. These are not town hall topics.]

It’s worth noting that there is plenty of precedent for quantum leaps in military technology going all the way back to the ancient Sumerians and Greeks, astonishing breakthroughs held in extreme secrecy for decades.

There is, however, NO precedent for E.T. visitation.

I would argue that when you consider the historical pattern of UFO encounters beginning  in 1947 that the U.S. has had some form of electric or electromagnetic field propulsion technology 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 the public.

I would further propose that if this is true, then it is the most profound military conspiracy in history, far surpassing everything from the Trojan Horse to the Manhattan Project. A secret of such magnitude that if revealed would have huge implications not only for the world economy but for the very trajectory of human civilization.

So, I would submit that if you remove E.T. visitation from the equation, the only logical explanation is that the Pentagon has very likely developed a series of propulsion breakthroughs that have been responsible for, but not limited to:

• Kenneth Arnold’s seminal sighting in 1947

• The UFOs over Washington, D.C., in 1952

•  The UFO that crashed in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, in 1965

• The giant triangular UFO seen over the Hudson Valley and Belgium in the 1980s

•  The giant triangular object over Phoenix, Arizona, in 1997

•  The similarly giant triangular or delta-shape object observed over southern Illinois in 2000

• The Tic Tac-shape object encountered by U.S. Navy pilots in 2004

•  The disc-shape object observed over Chicago O’Hare International Airport in 2006

As to why the Pentagon would be operating these weapons over populated areas, perhaps 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 have been examples of mysterious military training exercises taking place over populated areas. This excellent article in The War Zone documents one such exercise over Los Angeles (https://www.twz.com/38753/those-mysterious-gray-helicopters-were-landing-on-multiple-downtown-la-rooftops-last-night).

So, if this terrestrial hypothesis for UFOs is correct and the Pentagon has made a series of astonishing propulsion breakthroughs –  something akin to antigravity – then this raises a whole host of follow-up concerns and questions. For example, do we have a shadow space program that runs parallel to NASA and the Space Force? If so, do we have military bases in deep space?

Thanks to Rep. Burchett and his colleagues for pursuing this matter. Thanks to The Hill for covering the briefing.

But it’s still not E.T.

It was never E.T.

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.

U.S. Government’s Top UFO Researcher, Former AARO Director Dr. Kirkpatrick, Pens Revealing Commentary in Scientific American: The UFOs have nothing to do with E.T.

Well, well, well … finally, a dose of sorely needed clarity regarding the whole UFO calamity in this country.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/heres-what-i-learned-as-the-u-s-governments-ufo-hunter/

Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the former head of AARO, lays it all out, revealing that sensational claims of E.T. UFOs are all hot air driven by a small group of enthusiasts with an agenda.

Also, interesting that he mentions some UFO reports stem from confusion over legitimate government R&D.

So, let’s see the report AARO is preparing for release to the public and Congress. It has the compelling title of Historical Record Report Volume 1.

Thank you, Dr. Kirkpatrick, for providing a much-needed voice of sanity in the roiling sea of malarkey about UFOs.

Let’s see how certain media keen on promoting E.T. fantasies will treat this moment of truth. Will they acknowledge that tales of extraterrestrials are likely all just nonsense? Or will they continue down the ridiculous rabbit holes of conspiracy theories and E.T. fever dreams, hoping for more clicks and the revenue they bring?

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.
