Frustrated lawmakers demand answers on UFOs
The Hill ^ | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 07/23/2023 12:43:10 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

Senior lawmakers are increasingly demanding that military and other government officials provide them with information about intelligence on unidentified flying objects (UFOs) or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).

The demands reflect frustrations on the part of some lawmakers that they are being kept in the dark about what’s known about UFOs and UAPs.

The lawmakers do not necessarily believe the government is hiding signs of extraterrestrial life from the public and congressional oversight. But they are frustrated they are not learning more about unknown objects flying in restricted U.S. air space.

“My primary interest in this topic is if there are … object[s] operating over restricted air space, it’s not ours and we don’t know whose it is, that’s a problem that we need to get to the bottom of,” said Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

[...]

“Right now, what I know is reliable people tell us that and we’ve seen objects operating over restricted military and national security airspace. They claim it’s not ours. They claim they don’t know whose it is. That’s like the definition of a national security threat,” he said.

“Either there’s an answer that exists and is not being provided, or there is no answer. Beyond that, I don’t want to speculate anything,” he added.

Rubio said he was familiar with the claims of David Grusch, a career intelligence officer who worked for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. He claims the federal government has retrieved “non-human origin technical vehicles” that have landed or crashed on Earth.

[...]

“One of two things are true. Either A, they’re telling the truth or some version of the truth or B, we have a bunch of people with high clearances and really important jobs in our government are nuts. Both are a problem. And I’m not accusing these people of being nuts. That said, that’s something we’ll look at and continue to look at seriously,” he said.

The answer is B, Senator.

Here's the thing: Our pilots are stigmatized if they report ANYTHING unknown in a secure air training area (and others) and this is often career-ending. So they don't report. If fact, if on-board cameras record images, they destroy them rather than report them.

If these craft seen are Russian or Chinese (or from some other country), doesn't the chain of command want to know?

How can a determination be made of what is being seen by pilots unless pilots report them?

“fairy tales for adults”

Double meaning there—you may not realize it:

Hmm. Our money and equipment are disappearing in Ukraine. Illegals are flooding across the border. Urban crime is out of control. And then there’s the deficit.

And Congress is all worked up about UFOs. It could be me. It could be them.
But somebody has their priorities all mixed up.

No, not extraterrestrial.

Pilots cannot report aircraft encountered that might be Chinese or Russian.

Why cloud the issue with extraterrestrial if that isn't a possibility?

And how can the chain of command make a determination as to whether something seen represents a national security risk if pilots are told NOT to report them?

And how do you know what is being seen by pilots is a space alien and not a craft from one of our adversaries?

For years, you only seldom hear about “UFO’s”...

Then, when the Biden democrat administration begins destroying our America, all of a sudden, IT’S UFO’S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So when pilots in secure training areas encounter aircraft that pose a sufficient air safety issue that such training is called off, that should just be ignored because we have trouble in Ukraine or the ghettoes?

It's not about UFO's from outer space at this point. It's about unidentified aircraft in our secure training areas.

GOPe will do anything to avoid impeaching Biden
and other corrupt Democrats. They'll do anything but
but the job the voters sent them there to do.

Let's everyone look at UFOs and supposed space aliens.
Now, now don't bother with that Hunter Biden stuff.
Don't worry about the FBI's cover up of Biden/Democrat
Party corruption. Forget about it!

Just believe that aliens from outer space have ability
to travel hundreds perhaps thousands of light years
through interstellar space without mishap, only to
crash in New Mexico, USA or somewhere else. Amazing!
