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.

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 …

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.

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.

Instead of feeling ‘insulted,’ maybe Sean Kirkpatrick might want to ask why sources evidently inside the Pentagon are feeding disinformation to people like Grusch to make them think it’s ET when it isn’t …

Ok, so I get it: It’s not ET. But some people within the Pentagon sure wanted Grusch to think it was ET. Now, why is that, Sean?

It must have been very sophisticated and persistent disinformation, likely with fake documents, data, etc.

So, why go to such lengths?

The main reason to issue disinformation is to hide something. I think, at this point, it should be fairly obvious what that something is. The Pentagon is trying to hide the fact that it has made a series of unprecedented propulsion breakthroughs over the decades.

These vehicles spotted by U.S. Navy pilots are, in fact, top secret U.S. weapons, unknown to practically all other members of the military, Congress and the executive branch. They aren’t being tested. They are beyond the test phase. U.S. pilots are training with these vehicles. That is why they are seen over training ranges.

A secret so profound, a conspiracy so long-lived and pernicious, that it must be kept hidden at all costs.

I would submit to you that your own organization is actively suppressing investigations into UFOs because learning the truth would mean exposing these top-secret assets.

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