Military and spy agencies accused of stiff-arming investigators on UFO sightings

The truth may be out there. But don't expect the feds to share what they know anytime soon on the recent spate of UFO sightings.

Some military and spy agencies are blocking or simply ignoring the effort to catalog what they have on "unidentified aerial phenomenon," according to multiple current and former government officials. And as a result, the Biden administration will likely delay a much-anticipated public report to Congress.

The Senate Intelligence Committee has asked the director of national intelligence to work with the Defense Department to provide a public accounting by June 25 on unexplained sightings of advanced aircraft and drones that have been reported by military personnel or captured by radar, satellites and other surveillance systems.

The request came after revelations in 2017 that the Pentagon was researching a series of unexplained intrusions into military airspace, including high-performance vehicles captured on video stalking Navy ships.

But those advising the investigations are advocating for significantly more time and resources to retrieve information from agencies that in some cases have shown reluctance, if not outright resistance, to sharing classified information. And they worry that without high-level involvement, it will be difficult to compel agencies to release what they have.

"Just getting access to the information, because of all the different security bureaucracies, that's an ordeal in itself," said Christopher Mellon, a former Pentagon intelligence official who lobbied for the disclosure provision and is continuing to advise policymakers on the issue.

I would offer this prospective (from military years of the 1980s/1990s)...a lot of the senior leadership see this as a ‘joke’ and don’t want their name or their organization attached to any reports or analysis. In one discussion...a commander referred to UFO reports as ‘Leprechaun’ reports.

The chief problem is that you have practical jokers in the mix (like the crop circle crowd), and time/effort is highly wasted.

This has been a “dry hole” for decades.

If .gov had “very foreign” technology, there is _no_ _way_ they would _ever_ admit it.

In any event, the real information would be in the files of private contractors who would do any reverse engineering.

Congress is a clueless joke.

A military that deserves none of our support. Tough pill for us to swallow here, but the military hates you, is running our demographic out and ultimately will be used against you.

On Thursdays PM we watch “Paranormal Camera.” Even if you are a skeptic like I some of those videos will turn you white!

But for UFOs I think 90% of them are computer controlled drone teams.

The fascination with UFOs is just another example of the delusional nonsense that exists in Washington these days. There is rationality, logic, the laws of physics and then there is a belief in UFOs. Somehow, someway biological and material entitities from the unimaginable distance of a hundred light years away have frequently visited earth but alas have never left documented physical evidence. Its true. when people stop believing in God, their mystical yearnings don’t vanish, they will believe in anything.

This guy thinks it’s hard to get information out of the deep state concerning flying saucers. Just imagine if he was interested in the clinton crime family.

Alien contact hoax on deck for when virus hoax finally wears off (probably down the road a bit).

So what do you think the F-18 was tracking with its FLIR that flew like no known aircraft off the coast of CA?
It’s documented evidence.

The answer is in the bible. Yes there are UFOs. No they aren’t from a different planet.

They may not want to admit they have foreign technology but its going to be hard to explain how we have all this quantum technology that runs a quantum financial system and med beds. Trump was the catalyst for starting the slow reveal and now the deep state believes they are back in charge and can withold this technology from us.

If all the stuff I am seeing and hearing is true which obviously still remains to be seen then these commie so and so’s won’t be able to walk the streets. People would kill them on sight after finding out they had withheld technology that could have saved their loved ones who died from cancer, Alzheimer’s etc.

So that’s why they are trying to obfuscate and slow walk this stuff. They would love to keep us all in the dark for another 100 years. When your agenda is depopulation you certainly don’t want people to have access to technology that could cure them of most disease in 12-15 minutes.

So true. The math is against there being even the simplest of unicellular life, much less complex multicellular species. That life anywhere arose by chance is statisically zero. That it would happen more than that is a statistical zero times that.

If there were nothing to this UFO stuff, the Pentagon or the CIA or whoever would simply tell Senate Intelligence Committee that there is nothing here but national security-related stuff and we need to drop the subject accordingly.

But that isn't happening because there is enough of a mystery in the public domain that such a story isn't credible.

If the DOD or CIA has nothing to hide but national defense secrets, it wouldn't be acting so suspicious.

“according to multiple current and former government officials” another story with unnamed sources. Real? Fake? Who knows.

To me:

It’s either technology we have and don’t want the info leaked/uncovered

Or

It’s technology we don’t have and have no idea how it works

Or

It’s technology we don’t have and have no idea who has it

Or

This technology reveals a gap in our defenses we’d rather not admit our vulnerabilities.

Or

A combination of the above

the laws of physics

-

don’t ever assume we know the laws of what is called physics - hubris is an easy trap to fall into. If you are interested in some of how what we know was found, read the story of James Clerk Maxwell and Oliver Heaviside: how one uneducated man took a highly educated man’s genius and discovered all we know of the electromagnetic spectrum, without which no one would have heard of N. Tesla and the discovery of AC current, while Einstein would have remained a postal clerk.
