Sen. Gillibrand's historic legislation would revolutionize study of UFOs
The Hill ^ | MARIK VON RENNENKAMPFF

Posted on 11/10/2021 3:35:48 AM PST by RoosterRedux

As first reported by veteran researcher Douglas Dean Johnson, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s (D-N.Y.) proposed legislation would fundamentally transform the government’s approach to the UFO phenomenon. Indeed, the Gillibrand amendment would shift decades of official, Cold War-induced deflection and obfuscation towards increasingly transparent, objective scientific analysis.

*snip*

Beyond granting a new, UFO-focused unit robust bureaucratic authorities and access to an array of critical government resources, Gillibrand’s amendment would empower the office’s leadership to initiate and supervise rapid field investigations of UFO encounters.

Moreover, the Gillibrand proposal requires that all elements of the Department of Defense and the U.S. intelligence community share UFO-related data with the new office (which Gillibrand calls the “Anomaly Surveillance and Resolution Office”). Importantly, the amendment mandates regular reporting to Congress if any UFO-related information was withheld from the office due to “classification restrictions” “or for any other reason.”

To top it off, the amendment requires collaboration on UFOs with several key government agencies – including NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Departments of Energy and Homeland Security – as well as with “allies and partners of the United States.”

*snip*

In a nod to decades of military reporting that unknown objects appear to exhibit extraordinary technology, the Gillibrand amendment would require the government to study “characteristics and performance of [UFOs] that exceed the known state of the art in science or technology.” The goal, according to Gillibrand’s legislation, is to “replicate any such advanced characteristics and performance.”

At the same time, the amendment significantly broadens the definition of UFOs to include “transmedium” craft, which the legislation defines as “objects or devices that are observed to transition between space and the atmosphere, or between the atmosphere and bodies of water.”

Gillibrand’s proposal also dives headlong into an apparent link between UFO encounters and nuclear technology.

Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light comin’ down from the sky
I don’t know who or why

Must be those strangers that come every night
Whose saucers shaped lights put people up tight
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home all right

Hey Mr. Spaceman, won’t you please take me along
I won’t do anything wrong
Hey Mr. Spaceman, won’t you please take me along
For a ride
[snip]

And take Sillybrand with you...

Space case to study space cases. Makes sense.

HOW do you ‘test’ something (the HYPOTHESIS) on something YOU CAN’T LAY YOUR HANDS ON?

Sounds reasonable on the surface; what other BS is being attached to it is what needs to be focused on.

I hope UFOs do exist and swoop down to earth and take Gillibrand to their home planet.

Normally, I would agree...but, in this case, unidentified craft are invading our airspace with impunity around (within a matter of meters) our nuclear-powered carriers, missile-armed destroyers, and nuclear-powered and nuclear-missile-armed subs.

So far, our military is completely incapable of doing anything about this invasion of our secured space (whether in air or underwater).

This matter needs to be studied to determine what the hell is going on.

If this is China or Russia, we may as well start learning Mandarin or Russian.

How are they involved?

This is an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act.

I misspoke big time. I had the NY Governor on my mind instead of Sen Gillibrand. (Just got an upsetting email) Sorry

Gillibrand is probably doing this for the chinese or other advesary.

By forcing the military or intel agencies to release this type data, we are providing affirmation to our advesaries of how well their systems work.

E.g., say china sends a fast drone to spy on a carrier group in the pacific, a navy pilot spots it and identifies it as “UFO”. Subesequent analysis reveals it to be a chinese drone, a report which would likely be classified.

Having this public, the chinese now know that this particular type of drone can be identified so they begin working on another - one tailored to avoid the techniques implied in the report.

Worse yet, if there happens to be a pic of that drone in a chinese manufacturing facility in that report (clandestinely obtained by us), the chinese would use that pic to try to identify the person that took it and kill them, after interrogation of course.

Gillibrand is a traitor. Don’t fall for this alien click bait horsesh*t.
