War Zone article reveals juicy tidbits from AARO UFO press briefing: Satellite surveillance has found no space aliens and after questioning likely Grusch sources, no evidence to support his E.T. claims …

I found this article in the War Zone about Tuesday’s UFO presser to be very enlightening.

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/balloons-no-ufos-found-by-satellites-shoot-down-video-coming-says-aaro-chief

My main takeaways: The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has reviewed many satellite images, finding plenty of balloons but no space aliens.

Secondly, the office will soon release videos of UFOs being shot down by military aircraft earlier this year.

Thirdly, whistleblower David Grusch has not contacted AARO to talk about what he knows, or thinks he knows, information that seems to contradict a statement by Grusch that he briefed AARO’s head Sean Kirkpatrick. Also, VERY interestingly, AARO has interviewed Grusch’s likely sources and found no corroboration of his extraterrestrial claims.

From the War Zone article:

(Grusch also testified that he briefed Kirkpatrick on his claims in July of 2022 and that Kirkpatrick never followed up. You can see that exchange in this video below.

Tuesday, Kirkpatrick said that Grusch has yet to respond to requests by AARO to meet and that the last time the two spoke was five years ago. Kirkpatrick said he was in the intelligence directorate of U.S. Space Command at the time and the conversation “was not on this topic.”

“I think we’ve interviewed most of the people that he may have talked to, but we don’t know that. And we have extended an invitation at least four or five times for him to come in over the last eight months or so, and has been declined.”

Citing privacy concerns, Kirkpatrick declined to offer any specifics about who he talked to or just what they said. He did, however, say that “I currently have no evidence of any program having ever existed to do any sort of reverse engineering of a sort of extraterrestrial UAP.”)

This raises various questions, including. 1) Why the disconnect between Kirkpatrick and Grusch, and why no corroboration after interviewing Grusch’s likely sources? 2) Did these people lie to Grusch? Did these people feed Grusch disinformation? 3) Why has Grusch not spoken to AARO?

So many questions …

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

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

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

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

https://nypost.com/2023/10/31/news/pentagon-unveils-ufo-reporting-portal/

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/31/pentagon-announces-long-waited-ufo-reporting-form-00124574

I agree with Rep. Burlison about UFOs: Earthlings have developed an advanced propulsion technology, but it’s not ‘foreign’ and it’s not ‘experimental’ …

Well, well, well … this Deseret News article dated Oct. 30, 2023, shows that Congress is FINALLY catching on, and I totally agree with Rep. Burlison: The Pentagon has developed an advanced propulsion technology, but I would argue this isn’t “experimental” … these appear to be fully operational platforms. 

https://www.deseret.com/2023/10/30/23935375/congress-select-committee-ufo-tim-burchett

I found this comment from Rep. Burlison to be particularly significant because it’s the first time I’ve seen any public figure candidly suggest that the UFOs represent a breakthrough in propulsion technology.

From the Deseret News article:

(But Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., was convinced that an entity — tied to the federal government or foreign — was developing an “advanced form of propulsion” after the meeting with intelligence officials.

“What it appears to be is somebody has discovered something — some advanced form of propulsion or technology — that may actually change all of our lives,” Burlison told Laslo. “But clearly it’s in an experimental phase or we’re experimenting with it.”)

It’s encouraging that members of Congress are figuring out that the UFOs aren’t about extraterrestrials at all. They are about the Pentagon developing a series of propulsion breakthroughs originating decades ago. I would argue, based on the history of UFO sightings going all the way back to 1947, that the Pentagon has had some form of field propulsion either in development or in operation since that time and that these platforms have been entirely hidden from Congress and the public through the Department of Defense’s burgeoning “black budget.”

If this is true, then this means the Pentagon has made an astonishing advancement – call it antigravity if you like – that if commercialized would literally change the trajectory of human civilization, revolutionizing the transportation of people on Earth and ushering in the practical colonization of space.

Moreover, the Pentagon can’t tell the truth about UFOs because in doing so it would mean exposing a top-secret weapon. At the same time, the DoD’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), can’t really “get to the bottom” of the UFO mystery because it’s part of the Pentagon.

I guess one of the most important issues surrounding this conspiracy is that there is absolutely no oversight for a scientific development that is arguably as important as the discovery of nuclear weapons. The Pentagon is solely in control.

And if you think this is just too insane, is it any crazier than space aliens traveling trillions of miles from another solar system, only to crash land repeatedly or to inexplicably hang out over places like rural Texas and obscure U.S. military training ranges?

It seems fairly obvious that the whole extraterrestrial hypothesis is just a myth promoted and reinforced by popular culture and the Pentagon’s own disinformation apparatus. Why? Because as soon as you entangle the whole subject of UFOs within the intellectual morass of space aliens, you relegate the story to the fringe. No one takes it seriously, and the only people who do take it seriously are consumed with fantasies about extraterrestrials, time travelers, interdimensional beings, alien abduction, the Vatican knows all about it and various “are we alone?” scenarios.

But, hey, I’m not telling you anything especially new. It’s all in Flying Saucers!

NewsNation: Pentagon Denies Access to UFO Secrets Because Members of Congress Lack Proper Security Clearance

There’s a lot to unpack in this NewsNation article quoting frustrated congressional representatives who — in trying to learn the truth about UFOs — were told by the Pentagon that they lack the proper security clearance. The article was just posted this afternoon on Oct. 27, 2023.

‘I didn’t learn anything:’ Burchett on classified UFO briefing

This is priceless, but I finally agree with Scott Perry about something when he says “… this isn’t our government … We just get to live here in America and the government doesn’t answer to us.”

Though, I must say that I’m not surprised. Pentagon officials will never tell the public the truth about UFOs because, in my opinion, in doing so they would be revealing details about top-secret weapons.

According to the “terrestrial hypothesis” for UFOs (i.e., it isn’t space aliens), which I personally subscribe to, the UFOs are entirely inventions of Homo sapiens, the same species that has brought us nukes, microchips, lasers, microwave ovens, skyscrapers, calculus, non-linear algebra, the Mona Lisa, etc., etc. … no assist from space aliens needed!

Anyway, you have to admire members of Congress for pressing the Pentagon about UFOs. And I totally agree with Rep. Eric Burlison when he says, “We owe it to the American people to let them know where the money is being spent.”

At the same time, I think people still haven’t grasped the reality that the UFOs have nothing to do with E.T. and everything to do with propulsion breakthroughs at the Pentagon over the past seventy-five years.

That’s why Navy pilots are encountering these objects over U.S. military training ranges. And they aren’t “experimental aircraft,” but top-secret operational platforms that are well beyond the testing phase.

But, hey, I’m not telling you anything you haven’t already considered at great length, sometimes in the early, early morning while under the influence of various intoxicants, sometimes while stone-cold sober in the clarifying light of day.

It’s all in Flying Saucers!

Technical analysis of Middle East orb UFO shows that it’s likely just a party balloon, but shouldn’t the Pentagon know this already?

Ok, so I found this analysis to be nothing short of revelatory. It was prepared by an organization called Bellingcat, which describes itself as an “independent investigative collective of researchers, investigators and citizen journalists …”

Using geolocation and mathematics, specialists at Bellingcat clearly show that the orb UFO observed by a U.S. military drone over the Middle East in 2022 is probably just a party balloon measuring a maximum of .43 meters, or 1.4 feet. The illusion of motion and speed is also clearly explained away by a phenomenon called parallax, the analysis concludes.

https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2023/10/24/isnt-that-a-balloon-deflating-a-dod-ufo-video/

Yet, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, an official at the U.S. Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), claimed during a congressional hearing that AARO has been unable to identify the object. He makes other statements suggesting similar orb-shaped UFOs could be truly mysterious, saying they are capable of “very interesting apparent maneuvers …”

Pardon my cynicism, but I find it very hard to believe that Dr. Kirkpatrick doesn’t know this thing was a balloon. Anyway, hopefully the AARO will soon weigh in on all this, but it sure seems like an important issue to address. Also, in a related matter, what ever happened to the Eglin Air Force Base orb? Was that also just a balloon, and is AARO going to issue a report about that encounter, along with the photo that was taken by the pilot and seen by a U.S. representative?

So many questions …

News column about UFOs touches on something crucial: They could be top secret U.S. military weapons being ‘clandestinely’ tested …

This column published by Globetrotter and appearing in the Sri Lanka Guardian on Oct. 5, 2023, touches on what I view as the most probable explanation for the UFO enigma over the past seven decades or so: That they are likely top-secret U.S. weapons.

What if UFOs Have Been a Cover for High-Tech—and Human—Defense Research Programs?

Hallelujah! I’ve been saying this for years. Anyway, here are the key takeaways from the column, well-crafted by journalist John P. Ruehl:

“Many secret military aircraft were frequently mistaken for UFOs, such as the U-2 reconnaissance plane, introduced in the 1950s, which featured a gray frame that often reflected the sun. The SR-71 “Blackbird” meanwhile started service in 1966 and wasn’t declassified until the 1990s. Its distinctive shape, speed, and altitude capabilities were often mistaken for a UFO. The B-2 Spirit, introduced in the late 1980s, also had a unique aerodynamic design and its ability to control lift, thrust, and drag at low speeds often gave the appearance that it was hovering.

Since the Cold War, secretive experimental military aircraft have continued to generate UFO reports. But unexplained phenomena have also fueled conspiracy theories. In November 2004 off the coast of San Diego, Navy pilots filmed UFOs demonstrating rapid acceleration, physics-defying sudden changes in direction, and other feats in videos eventually released to the public in 2017 … The U.S. military’s reluctance to disclose UFO/UAP information is often linked to the need to protect classified technology. Military agencies can choose to neither confirm nor deny such information exists. But when the government transparency website, the Black Vault, submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the Navy for more UFO/UAP videos, it was denied because it would harm national security and ‘may provide adversaries valuable information regarding Department of Defense/Navy operations, vulnerabilities, and/or capabilities.’

Releasing these videos without additional information may also be an effective way for the U.S. military to hint at its own new technological capacities for various strategic, political, and scientific reasons. Suddenly revealing these technologies could result in rising geopolitical tensions and trigger a reaction, while merely hinting at it may also serve as a deterrence to adversaries. Gradually preparing the public for emerging technologies is equally as important, while encouraging speculation about UFO/UAPs could divert attention away from classified projects.

By clandestinely testing experimental new technologies on their own defenses without resorting to lethal forces, military agencies can also gain valuable insights into their capabilities and vulnerabilities in real-world scenarios.”

I agree with this assessment. Although, I would argue that the Pentagon isn’t necessarily “testing experimental new technologies … ” but training personnel on these technologies. These platforms certainly do not appear to be experimental. They appear to be operational and well beyond the testing phase. Maybe that’s why U.S. Navy pilots have encountered these objects over military training ranges, not over test ranges.

At any rate, I have proposed my own version of the “terrestrial hypothesis” for UFOs in my novel Flying Saucers. According to this hypothesis, 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 inexplicably hang out over U.S. military training ranges and terrorizing the denizens of places like Stephenville, Texas.

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

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.

https://www.liberationtimes.com/home/us-air-force-reports-mysterious-gulf-of-mexico-incident-to-pentagons-ufo-office

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.

https://www.newsweek.com/congressman-shares-very-elusive-nasa-remarks-ufo-meeting-1829025

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!

What if NASA can’t tell the truth about UFOs because the UFOs are top-secret U.S. weapons, and that’s classified?

NASA’s big UFO report released Thursday (Sept. 14, 2023) only reinforces my feeling that the nation’s space agency can’t tell the truth about UFOs because the UFOs are the Pentagon’s, meaning they are classified and out of reach.

In short, NASA doesn’t have a “need to know.”

So, all we’re going to learn from NASA reports will be endless minutia about mundane things like drones, satellites, astronomical and atmospheric phenomena, rocket launches that are mistaken for E.T., and bla, bla, bla.

This is because none of the UFOs are extraterrestrial. So, NASA cannot find any E.T. causality.

Upon surveying the extensive, if one-dimensional, coverage about the NASA report and presser, I found a quote from NASA Administrator Bill Nelson to be especially pertinent: “The NASA independent study team did not find any evidence that UAP have an extraterrestrial origin, but we don’t know what these UAP are …”

Meanwhile, we obviously have someone at the Pentagon feeding disinformation to people like whistleblower David Grusch. The main purpose of disinformation is to hide something. I contend that “something” is a propulsion breakthrough that, if commercialized, promises to literally change the trajectory of human civilization. This is a monumental advance 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, along those lines, if, for example, the so-called Tic Tac vehicle observed by Navy pilots isn’t E.T., then it’s the Pentagon. Theory would suggest that a vehicle exhibiting that kind of performance is tapping into a different kind of physics — perhaps the much-speculated “fifth force” now being investigated by physicists — which wouldn’t necessarily subject its pilots to the same crushing g-forces caused by traditional chemical propulsion systems.

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 entirely in the dark without the knowledge of Congress or the executive branch.

(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, which would exclude Congress, and I presume, NASA.  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:

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.

You know my opinion: It was never E.T. It was always Uncle Sam. It was Uncle Sam back in 1947 when Kenneth Arnold spotted a squadron of UFOs near Mount Rainier; during the flying saucer scare of 1952 over Washington, D.C., when President Harry Truman likely ordered a demonstration of these weapons much as he had arranged a similar demonstration of the flying wing in 1949, when the aircraft flew low over the capital; during the 1960s when startled pilots were reporting UFOs after unwittingly observing flights of the top-secret U-2 and SR-71; also during the 1960s at U.S. nuclear missile facilities, when, I propose, the military was testing a secret anti-missile technology capable of temporarily disabling the rocket launch systems; in the 1980s over the Hudson Valley when bystanders including police officers saw a huge triangular thing floating overhead; in Belgium when numerous credible witnesses saw the same sort of craft; and in 1997 over Phoenix, Ariz.; and again in 2000 over rural Illinois, when a raft of cops observed a similar delta-shape craft; then, in 2006 when employees at Chicago O’Hare saw a stealthy disc hovering overhead and abruptly shooting straight up at high speed, punching a hole in the cloud cover that lingered afterward; and, of course, in the various encounters recently described by U.S. Navy pilots.

Based on witness testimony, 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 that 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 Congress, the executive branch and 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. 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 of the E.T. hypothesis.

So, if this alternative view is correct – let’s call it the terrestrial hypothesis – 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, or was it simply superseded by satellites and UAVs, as is conventional wisdom?  
  • 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 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!

I agree with U.S. Rep. Burchett (@ReptimBurchett): There’s a UFO coverup, it just has nothing to do with space aliens …

Interesting little squib in The Hill about a smackdown from the intelligence community’s inspector general. In response to Rep. Tim Burchett’s request for information about claims made by whistleblower David Grusch, the inspector general said there is no relevant information to share.

My own opinion is that the whole UFO conundrum has nothing to do with extraterrestrials. It’s all about covering up top-secret U.S. weapons, notably advanced propulsion systems unknown to the general public, Congress and the executive branch.

That’s why there’s no information to share. It’s not E.T., and the intelligence community certainly isn’t going to share information about classified “black projects” at the Pentagon.

Meanwhile, the sophisticated disinformation being fed to officials like Grusch is very effective in distraction and obfuscation because once you entangle the UFO issue within the rhetorical quagmire of space aliens, the Vatican, and other such nonsense, you relegate the story to the fringe. People don’t ask about top secret Pentagon weapons; instead, they pose fanciful questions about space aliens, time travel, interdimensional beings and various ‘we are not alone’ scenarios. This, in turn, dissuades the mainstream media from inquiring further because the whole story becomes suspect.

I know it sounds crazy, but is it any crazier than E.T. coming here from another solar system just so they can hang out almost exclusively over U.S. military training ranges? We aren’t seeing this epidemic of UFO encounters with the foreign military branches. Now, why exactly is that?

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