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.
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.

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.
