CONGRESS QUIETLY WANTS TO CREATE A NEW UFO OFFICE
Inverse ^ | 9-20-21 | Jon Kelly

Posted on 09/20/2021 6:42:15 AM PDT by Brookhaven

Two bills in Congress could expand the UAP task force, or set up a permanent office to study sightings of these unknown objects.

Section 1652 of H.R. 4350 — a provision added by Democratic Congressman Ruben Gallego of Arizona — would establish a permanent office to study UAPs within the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

If the provision remains unchanged when the bill becomes law, it will charge the new office with creating a database for recording UAP incidents and “evaluating links between unidentified aerial phenomena and adversarial foreign governments, other foreign governments, or non-state actors,” and whether the incidents pose a threat. The House bill provision would also require reports to various Congressional Committees.

Once we have a permanent government agency studying UFOs, how long till colleges allow you to major in UFOs?

"I have a bachelor's degree in UFO studies". Yea, that'll get you a job.

BTW, what numbskull came up with the acronym UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon)? UFO was a common term that everybody understood. Why invent a replacement term?

Eggheads prefer words like phenomena. It could be more accurate and it’s more encompassing. Not all sightings could be “objects”. In fact, some of them move around like they have no mass, more like someone’s pointing a laser. This new office or agency puts a bunch of cats together so they can spin around the room chasing the pointer.

Governments studying UFOs is like fish studying bicycles.

Absurd on its face.

They move around like they have no mass because they use gravity propulsion- They ‘feel’ like they are standing still, and the world is moving around them.

Put Captain Kirk in charge of the office. He has over 50 years experience going into the unknown. Sadly Mr. Spock has gone on into the unknown of those pointed ears.

Focus on protecting us from real illegal aliens instead of fantasy space aliens.

Based on what I am reading, this might not be unwise.

As I understand it, in some theories when you drop a rock, the rock isn’t falling towards the Earth. Instead, the rock remains stationary and the Earth moves up to meet the rock.

So, the idea that a ship remains stationary and the universe moves around it is theoretically possible.

Doesn’t make any sense to me. But then a lot of advanced theories don’t make sense to me.

Well, that’s not quite correct but you get the point.

The rock is moving in a straight line within a gravity field.

According to Bob Lazar the UFO propulsion system generates it’s own gravitational field.

And I believe him. =)

My thought is that they are 4-dimensional and phase in-and-out of our 3 dimensions as desired.

The reason this is my supposition, is as follows: The retired Israeli director of space assets and operations, is on record saying that we are in communication with the aliens and that they do not want the public to know about them "until mankind understands what space and spaceships are."

Sounds 4-dimensional to me!

“evaluating links between unidentified aerial phenomena and adversarial foreign governments, other foreign governments, or non-state actors”

It looks like this is all about a fear of right wing extremists with drones.

This is cool right? Yet….Trump was mocked for Space Force and just last week i read in some rag a space war between the US and China is “inevitable”. Guess he was right again.
