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.

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.

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?

About Spielberg’s ‘Encounters’ UFO Documentary, I Propose ‘Big Black Delta’ is One of Ours

So, I’ve been reading with alacrity all of the reviews of Spielberg’s new Netflix UFO documentary Encounters. One of the highlights is the giant delta-shaped object observed by multiple witnesses in Stephenville, Texas.

Here is one news article, published by the New York Post:

https://nypost.com/2023/09/28/spielberg-produced-ufo-doc-has-more-than-300-witnesses-for-spaceship/

Anyway, I propose this object is a top-secret U.S. military weapon. The same craft has been observed during various other encounters over the past three decades.

My hypothesis is that Big Black Delta is among a group of antigravity platforms that also includes the Tic Tac vehicle observed in 2004 by U.S. Navy pilots – advanced-propulsion weapons that have been developed entirely by Homo sapiens, the same species that has brought us nukes, microchips, lasers, microwave ovens, skyscrapers, the Mona Lisa, etc., etc., … no assist from space aliens needed!

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 and shrouded entirely from Congress, the executive branch and the public. This supposition presumes that none of the UFOs are extraterrestrial and that the entire space-alien hypothesis is just a myth fed by popular culture and the Pentagon’s disinformation apparatus.

As to why the Pentagon would be flying 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 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 Stephenville, Texas.

Regarding Big Black Delta specifically, I dedicate many pages of my book Flying Saucers to this hypothetical platform.

There have been tantalizing clues that the Pentagon might be hiding the existence of such weapons under cover of national security. For example, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., has 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 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.

In my opinion, UFOs have never been about E.T. Based on witness testimony, it certainly appears that the Pentagon evidently has achieved a propulsion breakthrough – call it antigravity, if you like – which is unknown to Congress. However, the Pentagon can’t admit that it has antigravity because, well, then it would no longer be secret. It all makes perfect sense, in a convoluted kind of way.

I would argue that when you consider the pattern of UFO encounters going all the way back to 1947, the U.S. has had some form of antigravity or 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.

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. This is industrial-strength disinformation, good enough to convince technical experts like David Grusch. Then, once you start talking about E.T. crashes and dead aliens, interdimensional beings, time travelers, and the Vatican’s in on the whole secret, 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 it’s extraterrestrials or are just making money off the E.T. hypothesis.

So, if this terrestrial hypothesis is correct – and the Pentagon does, indeed, have antigravity, this raises a whole host of follow-up concerns and questions, including:

  • 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?
  • When the SR-71 blackbird was retired in 1990, was it replaced with another, more advanced platform capable of reaching any destination in the world quickly and on short notice. Is Big Black Delta that platform?  
  • In addition to antigravity, have we developed a propulsion system that harnesses the Casimir effect? This might explain the incredible performance observed by police officers in southern Illinois in 2000. At least one of the officers said the ship darted from place to place, instantly leaping several miles at a time.
  • If we have, indeed, developed such a propulsion system, have we gone interstellar?    

Of course, in exploring the terrestrial hypothesis there are many additional potential questions you could pose.

But, hey, I’m not telling you anything you haven’t already pondered. It’s all in Flying Saucers!

Is the Eglin Air Force Base ‘Orb’ UFO Encounter the First Big Test of AARO’s Alleged Transparency? And note to @RepTimBurchett – the Pentagon is Never Going to Tell You the Truth …

Alright, so, there’s been a dearth of coverage about this apparently significant UFO event, an encounter over the Gulf of Mexico with an aircraft from Eglin Air Force Base in Florida sometime earlier this year. As I say, coverage has been sparse, and there has been virtually nothing in the big media. Here is an article posted recently by a publication called Liberation Times.

Actually, we don’t even have a date for this encounter. All we know is that it occurred “several months” before news of the encounter spilled out during a congressional hearing on UFOs in July 2023.

As I say, there has been almost NO coverage of this encounter, but according to Rep. Matt Gaetz, who received a classified briefing on it, a U.S. Air Force pilot saw a diamond-shape formation of UFOs over the Gulf of Mexico. The plane’s radar and camera systems failed as it approached the formation, but the pilot still managed to take a photo.

Gaetz, who evidently viewed this photo, described the object as an otherworldly “orb.”

Anyway, the most recent development, according to Liberation Times, is that the Department of Defense has acknowledged that an official report was filed with the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office and that AARO could release the report after it is approved.

So, we’ve heard a lot about the Pentagon’s newfound UFO “transparency” … let’s see if it proves true. Let’s see if AARO issues the report, complete with the photo the pilot took of this orb thing.

However, I wouldn’t get my hopes up, considering the long legacy of Pentagon UFO obfuscation.

What I would expect, based on this legacy, is that officials will take months to approve the report, knowing that people generally lose interest over time. Then, they will issue a heavily redacted thing, omitting the photo due to “national security” concerns.

I hope to be proven wrong. I really do! Maybe there will be a full report and the entire thing turns out to be something completely mundane – a balloon – and the malfunctioning sensors are totally explained as just an ordinary technological glitch.

Meanwhile, in other UFO news, Rep. Tim Burchett noted that NASA officials told the House Oversight Committee that the space agency’s UFO investigations wouldn’t deal at all with classified information. His comments are included in this Newsweek article – as I say, none of the big media are covering this stuff.

I found this segment (bolded font) from the Newsweek article to be particularly enlightening:

“My colleague [Alabama Representative] Gary Palmer asked about classified stuff at NASA, and they said, ‘We don’t have anything classified,'” Burchett said regarding the meeting.

According to the congressman’s video, when pressed further about the issue of classified information, the representatives from NASA gave a “very elusive” response.

“And so, what I think they’ve done is, they sent these two folks in here, like the Pentagon did, that have very little knowledge of the issue,” Burchett continued. “So they can say they can hold up their hand before Congress and swear that they know nothing about the issue, and it doesn’t exist.”

Burchett said that he also pressed the NASA representatives about the testimonies that came out during July’s hearing, as well as videos of UAP that have been declassified and shared with the public.

“So anyway, didn’t get a lot from that, and I’m a little disappointed,” the congressman concluded.

“We’re probably going to have to get some more people from the Pentagon in there to tell us what exactly is going on.”

“I just want the truth,” he added. “Give me the facts.”

In my opinion, since NASA UFO investigations won’t deal with classified information, we won’t learn anything of great substance from the agency on the subject. This is because all of the most sensational encounters, such as the infamous Tic Tac in 2004, likely involve top-secret U.S. military platforms, not E.T.

While I admire members of Congress for their dogged pursuit of the truth, I question their unflinching allegiance to the ET hypothesis (i.e., it’s space aliens). I think the reason the Pentagon isn’t telling the truth about UFOs is because it simply cannot tell the truth about UFOs without revealing the existence of top-secret weapons.

So, yeah, there’s definitely a big UFO coverup, but it has nothing to do with space aliens and everything to do with propulsion breakthroughs at the Pentagon over the past seven decades, advances that have been entirely shrouded from Congress because they are funded through the Defense Department’s “black budget.”  I propose that there has been a quantum leap in propulsion technology, conjured up entirely by Homo sapiens, the same species that has brought us nukes, microchips, lasers, microwave ovens, skyscrapers, the Mona Lisa, etc., etc., … no assist from space aliens needed!

So, we might call this supposition the terrestrial hypothesis, which presumes that none of the UFOs is extraterrestrial and that the entire space-alien hypothesis is just a myth fed by popular culture and the Pentagon’s disinformation apparatus.

But, hey, I’m not telling you anything you haven’t already considered at great length, sometimes over intoxicants and amid heated discussion, sometimes quietly and stone cold sober during those solitary pre-dawn hours of darkness.

It’s all in Flying Saucers!

This month in history: Betty and Barney Hill are allegedly abducted by space aliens, but was their tale pure fiction inspired by 1954 movie Killers from Space?

Interesting commentary in Slate about the alleged alien abduction of Betty and Barney Hill on Sept. 19, 1961.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/09/ufo-uap-encounters-betty-barney-hill.html

The piece discusses a book on the subject by Matthew Bowman, noting that the author believed “context is everything” with regards to the times in which the Hills were living; that what’s really important are the social and cultural mores, conventions and racial biases of the postwar era.

But isn’t this just like saying the actual alien abduction never really happened at all? Because, logically, if it did really happen, who cares about social context? I mean, you’re either alien-abducted, or you aren’t alien-abducted, right? Why would context, or anything else, matter at all?

And I must take issue with the opinion writer’s claim that the Hills’ account constitutes “the first truly credible story of an alien encounter …”

To this, I say, rubbish … Where’s the credibility? Where’s the actual concrete evidence?

Actually, I have often wondered whether the Hills, arguably the most important figures in the whole strange saga of alien abduction in this country, might have borrowed elements from the plot of the 1954 movie Killers from Space.

In the film, a very young Peter Graves plays a scientist involved in top-secret nuclear-weapons research. He is abducted by bug-eyed aliens who perform advanced surgery on him to repair his heart, which is damaged when the aliens induce his jet fighter to crash. 

Some details in the Hills’ story mirrored the plight of Graves’ character. Most notably, he had no memory of the abduction afterward, and only upon receiving an injection of truth serum did he recall the whole episode.

Interestingly, the Hills also had no memory of their abduction and only were able to recall the ordeal under hypnosis, perhaps a softer form of truth serum.

In both stories, Earthlings were exploited by strange-looking space aliens standing over them as they lay prostrate on an operating or exam table.

I also wonder whether the Pentagon’s UFO-disinformation machine might have later harnessed alien abduction as a vehicle to hide its work on advanced propulsion systems that have nothing to do with space aliens and everything to do with the burgeoning “black budget,” which shrouds such weapons development from Congress, the executive branch and the taxpaying public.

The purpose of this mendacity: to keep journalists from asking whether the Pentagon has achieved a quantum leap in propulsion technology, an advance so profound that, if commercialized, promises to alter the trajectory of the human race by ushering in a radical new means of transportation. And it has worked brilliantly. After all, instead of inquiring about what exactly the Pentagon is up to, we are all consumed with whimsical reveries about space aliens, time travel, interdimensional beings, and various ‘are we alone?’ scenarios.

You know my hypothesis, that the UFOs were never extraterrestrial, that they have always been advanced U.S. military weapons, going all the way back to Kenneth Arnold’s seminal sighting in 1947.

But, hey, I’m not telling you anything you haven’t already considered. It’s all in Flying Saucers!
