Recently released documents to The Black Vault via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) offer a rare glimpse into the Department of Defense Inspector General’s evaluation of the DoD’s response to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). The documents focus on a June 12, 2021, interview with “UFO Whistleblower” David Grusch. The interview summary, part of the “Evaluation of the DoD’s Actions Regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” DODIG-2023-109, highlights Grusch’s critique of the existing UAP analysis methods and his proposal for a new approach.

linkBackground

According to Grusch (and many other sources), the Atomic Energy Act was used to classify UAP back in the day. They used this legal definition to shove UAPs in there conveniently:

Such material is capable of releasing substantial quantities of atomic energy. The president can't legally declassify or disclose anything that falls under that act:

https://www.americanbar.org/news/abanews/aba-news-archives/2022/10/fact-check-presidential-authority/

Some secrets, such as information related to nuclear weapons, are handled separately under a specific statutory scheme that Congress has adopted under the Atomic Energy Act. The president cannot automatically declassify those secrets alone and must, by law, consult extensively with executive branch agencies.

This is why Schumer's UAPDA was required to give the president that legal right. The UAPDA even called out The Atomic Energy Act as an obstacle (Before they gutted it)

Legislation is necessary because credible evidence and testimony indicate that Federal Government unidentified anomalous phenomena records exist that have not been declassified or subject to mandatory declassification review as set forth in Executive Order 13526 (50 U.S.C. 3161 note; relating to classified national security information) due in part to exemptions under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.) It also includes an over-broad interpretation of ‘‘trans-classified foreign nuclear information’’, which is also exempt from mandatory declassification, thereby preventing public disclosure under existing provisions of law.

linkTimeline

The archivist preps the ID form on Day 0 (Dec 22, 2023) and collects uap recs on Day 45 (Feb 5, 2024). On Day 60 (Feb 20, 2024), the Government office preps recs. After Day 300 (Oct 18, 2024), the recs are ready for publication. Inspection at the National Archive begins on Day 330 post-transmit (Nov 17, 2024). On Day 540 (Jun 20, 2025), the records become available online. If postponed, Congress must be notified within 15 days. All records must be published within a maximum of 25 years, and there are limits on unreported SAP programs.

link2023, November 29 - National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024. In Congress, passed senate #law #usadc

https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/2226

https://amendments-rules.house.gov/amendments/BURCTN_024_xml230630091142613.pdf

21:53:04👾: If the Senate passes the yearly NDAA bill and Congress creates and passes a different version of the bill. how do the two get reconciled? This is the national defence bill

21:53:04🤖: When the Senate and the House of Representatives (collectively referred to as Congress) each pass different versions of a bill, such as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), they reconcile the differences through a process known as "conference." In this process, a "conference committee" is formed, made up of members from both the Senate and the House. This committee's job is to resolve discrepancies between the two versions of the bill. They create a "conference report," which is essentially a compromise bill that draws from both the Senate's and House's versions. Once the conference committee agrees on a final version of the bill, it is sent back to both the Senate and the House for a vote. If it is passed by both, it then goes to the President for approval or veto. If they cannot agree, the bill may die, or one house may decide to pass the other house's version. If the President vetoes the bill, it can still become law if both the Senate and the House vote to override the veto with a two-thirds majority in each chamber.

The NDAA is a huge document, with over 2,330 pages. It is divided into hierarchies as such:

Division -> Title -> Subtitle -> Part -> Section

As I understand it, Burchett’s Bill is to be added to the end of Subtitle G, of Title X, of Division A. Namely:

Division A: Department of Defense Authorizations

Title X: General Provisions

Subtitle G: Other Matters

This is the only “Subtitle G” of a “Title A” that I could find in the entire document, so I assume this is the portion of the NDAA that Burchett is referring to.

The existing UAP Disclosure Act has an entire Division dedicated to it, namely:

Division G: Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure

Based on this understanding of the NDAA, Burchett’s addition to the bill didn't seem intended to replace the Senate UAP Disclosure Act, regardless of what Gaetz’s tweet implied.

AMENDMENT TO RULES COMMITTEE PRINT 118- 10 OFFERED BY MR. BURCHETT OF TENNESSEE At the end of subtitle G of title X, add the following new section: 1 SEC. 10ll. DECLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN REPORTS OF 2 UNIDENTIFIED AERIAL PHENOMENA. 3 (a) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days after the 4 date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense 5 shall declassify any documents and other records in the 6 possession of the Department of Defense relating to pub7 licly known sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena. 8 (b) DEFINITION.—In this section, the term ‘‘publicly 9 known sighting of unidentified aerial phenomena’’ means 10 a sighting of an of an unidentified aerial phenomenon 11 about which there is information available in the public 12 domain prior to the declassification of documents and 13 records required under subsection (a).

link2023, September 14 - NASA is well-positioned to contribute to studying Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) within a broader government framework. The agency's expertise in data analysis, collection, curation, and distribution makes it a key player.

https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-shares-unidentified-anomalous-phenomena-independent-study-report

https://science.nasa.gov/science-pink/s3fs-public/atoms/files/UAP%20Independent%20Study%20Team%20-%20Final%20Report_0.pdf

NASA is well-positioned to contribute to studying Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) within a broader government framework. The agency's expertise in data analysis, collection, curation, and distribution makes it a key player. Engaging the public through crowdsourcing techniques, such as smartphone apps, can enhance data collection. NASA should explore the development of a crowdsourcing system and help establish a standardized civilian UAP reporting system. Additionally, NASA's involvement can help reduce the stigma around UAP reporting, which currently hinders data collection. NASA's credibility and transparency can set an example for approaching UAP research scientifically and involving the public. Furthermore, the panel suggests integrating UAP studies into the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS), administered by NASA for the FAA. This confidential system, receiving thousands of reports yearly, could provide valuable data for understanding UAP threats to airspace safety. Leveraging NASA's partnership with the FAA, advanced analysis techniques could enhance future air traffic management systems. NASA's fleet of earth-observing satellites should play a powerful supporting role in determining the environmental conditions that coincide with UAP. It is essential to note the pivotal role structured data curation plays in a rigorous and evidence-based framework to understand UAP better. The U.S. commercial remote-sensing industry offers a potent mix of Earth-observing sensors with the potential to resolve UAP events directly. The standardization of collected information via well-crafted calibration will make it possible to carry out a rigorous scientific investigation into UAP. NASA's experience in this area will be vital. NASA should leverage its considerable expertise in this domain to potentially utilize multispectral or hyperspectral data as part of a rigorous campaign.

This post discusses the discovery of two previously unknown species with unique genetic information backed up in a DNA database accessible to other scientists for verification. Tests, including those by metallurgy specialists, radiologists, and geneticists, have authenticated the bodies and their age. Scans of the bodies reveal metal implants, eggs with embryos, and organic material inside. It mentions government efforts to block and spread misinformation about these findings. The post also highlights depictions of similar beings in ancient civilizations. The author encourages scepticism and independent research. Forensic scientists discuss scans substances found on the bodies and speculate on their joints and motor function. DNA comparisons with over a million samples reveal a departure from the Darwinian theory of evolution. The post concludes by asserting the authenticity of these once-living creatures. Jaime Maussan, a self-proclaimed "ufologist" with a history of pseudoscience and false claims about extraterrestrials, presented two specimens allegedly of "alien" remains to the Mexican Congress. Maussan testified that the shrivelled grey bodies with three fingers on each hand are "non-human beings not part of our terrestrial evolution." However, experts quickly criticized his claims, stating that they lacked evidence. Maussan's assertion that carbon dating conducted by researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico supports his claims was contradicted by the university, which distanced itself from his testimony. Maussan's previous claims, including one about an alien body in 2015 and another involving specimens in Nazca, Peru, in 2017, have been debunked. Despite the lack of analysis and data release, images of the supposed aliens have circulated on social media. This incident coincides with renewed interest in extraterrestrial phenomena, as NASA appointed its first director of UAP research and former Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch testified about non-human "biologics" from UAP crash sites.

The Mexican Chamber of Deputies is set to conduct a public hearing similar to those held in the United States Congress, focusing on unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Morenista representative Sergio Gutiérez Luna announced this, with renowned UFO specialist Jaime Maussan participating in the event. Gutiérez Luna stated that Mexico is joining the global movement of nations addressing this phenomenon, emphasizing the potential impact on future generations. The hearing will include speakers like former US Navy pilot Ryan Graves, who claims to have encountered UFOs during flights and aims to establish regulations for anomalous aerial phenomena in Mexico. Jaime Maussan welcomed the Mexican authorities' openness to these "extraordinary realities," and the public hearing is scheduled for September 12th at 4:00 p.m. in the San Lázaro campus. Earlier in the US, a subcommittee of the House Oversight conducted a hearing featuring military officers testifying about UFO sightings, confirming the US government's detection of such objects, encompassing phenomena in space or water. The hearing, broadcast live on YouTube, lasted over two hours and involved individuals from the intelligence community reporting encounters with anomalous ships and evidence of "non-human intelligence."

Additionally, retired Major David Grusch revealed to Congress a long-standing US program dedicated to recovering and reverse-engineering UFOs, contradicting the Pentagon's denial of such claims. This congressional involvement in "unidentified aerial phenomena" (UAP) reflects a shift from extraterrestrial speculations to national security concerns, with lawmakers from both parties advocating for further investigation due to potential ties to US adversaries.

https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-66786611

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has potentially discovered a molecule called dimethyl sulphide (DMS) on a distant planet, K2-18b, which could indicate life, as living organisms on Earth typically produce DMS. However, researchers emphasize that this finding is not yet confirmed, and more data is needed. In addition to DMS, methane and carbon dioxide have been detected in the planet's atmosphere, potentially indicating the presence of a water ocean. K2-18b is unique as it is much larger than Earth and falls into the category of "sub-Neptunes," poorly understood in terms of their atmospheres. While this discovery is exciting, further research is required to ascertain the presence of life in this distant world.

Starting around the 20:40 mark, the discussion delves into the creation of laws related to obfuscation and secrecy by the officials involved in the Manhattan Project. It's highlighted that UAP materials emitting radiation are intentionally classified under the Atomic Energy Act. Moving to the 23:00 mark, there's mention of a classified project related to the Manhattan Project that studied UFOs independently of Project Blue Book. Skipping to the 28:00 mark, Grusch suggests that gauging the technological advancement of nonhuman intelligence is challenging. He emphasizes that their progress isn't necessarily linear and may have taken a different evolutionary path but are not significantly more advanced than humans. At 29:50, he mentions the potential for humanity to make major technological strides, possibly one discovery away from manipulating spacetime. Around 30:29, it's noted that UFOs appear to be interested in our nuclear technology. Skipping to 36:00, the discussion raises the possibility of hidden scientific breakthroughs. At 44:00, Dr. Hal Puthoff of the Pentagon insinuates that antigravity research made progress and was subsequently hidden. Around 47:00, UFO metamaterials are discussed. The host connects the "UFO Disclosure" movement and intentional disinformation to the "elite." Moving to 1:04:00, there's a history of "UFO debunkers" linked to government organizations studying UAP. At 1:17:28, Elizondo and Dr. Garry Nolan's statements about bioengineered AI beings operating UFOs are referenced. Grusch explores this possibility, including the idea that these beings are designed to look humanoid to interact with humans. Around 1:19:30, the possibility of ETs being our descendants from the future is discussed, with the host suggesting they might avoid major interventions to preserve the timeline. Finally, from 1:27:00 onward, Grusch details how being on the Autism spectrum has influenced his interactions.

The Department of Defense is reshuffling leadership at the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, the agency within the Pentagon that’s responsible for investigating reports of unidentified aerial phenomena or, as they’re better known, unidentified flying objects. Deputy Secretary Of Defense Kathleen Hicks will now oversee AARO, while the program’s current director, Sean Kirkpatrick, will report directly to her.

AARO will accept reports from current or former U.S. Government employees, service members, or contractors with direct knowledge of U.S. Government programs or activities related to UAP dating back to 1945*. These reports will inform AARO’s congressionally directed Historical Record Report. We will announce when a reporting mechanism is available for others to use. The Pentagon on Thursday announced the launch of a new website with the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which will provide the public with declassified information about UFOs, or what the government calls unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs). Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks recently moved to personally oversee the Pentagon’s unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) investigation team, formally known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, DefenseScoop has exclusively learned. A new website will soon be launched where incidents can be reported.

Hicks now holds regular meetings with AARP's inaugural director, Sean Kirkpatrick — who she’s also repositioned to report directly to her.

In a letter to Inspector General Thomas A. Monheim, dated [Date], the House Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs discusses a recent hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs). During this hearing, Mr. David Grusch, an Air Force veteran and former intelligence officer, declined to answer certain questions in a public setting due to the classified nature of the information. Mr. Grusch indicated he could provide the requested information regarding individuals with knowledge of UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs to the Intelligence Community Inspector General's office. The Subcommittee, considering Mr. Grusch's sworn testimony, requests information from the Inspector General on the following points: details about intelligence community members, positions, facilities, military bases, or other relevant actors involved in UAP crash retrieval programs, either directly or indirectly, and information regarding intelligence community members, positions, facilities, military bases, or other relevant actors involved in UAP reverse engineering programs, either directly or indirectly. The letter sets a deadline of September 15, 2023, for responding to these questions. If the requested information contains classified material, the Subcommittee also requests access to this information within a secure setting by September 26, 2023. The purpose of the letter is to seek clarification and insight into the individuals and entities connected to UAP-related programs within the intelligence community.

David Grusch's testimony received the most attention with his statement: "I have no ability to verify that testimony because we’ve not been told of any such programs. We’ve asked for all information related to all programs and have not been given that detail." As someone who helped secure full funding for AARO this year, do you believe the U.S. adequately researches and reviews incidents of unidentified anomalous phenomena? I believe that the AARO office is exceptional and well-equipped for this task.

In June 2023, David Grusch, a former USAF officer and intelligence official, publicly asserted that the U.S. government operates a covert UFO recovery program, possessing non-human spacecraft and deceased pilots. Grusch lodged whistleblower complaints in 2022 and 2021 to disclose classified UFO information to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He alleges a collaborative effort involving the Vatican and Five Eyes to obtain a "non-human" craft recovered by Mussolini's government in 1933, expressing concerns about potential American casualties linked to concealing UFO information. Despite NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense's denial of extraterrestrial life and alien materials, Grusch's claims have triggered a congressional UFO hearing scheduled for July 26, 2023, led by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. A decorated combat officer with experience in intelligence agencies, Grusch claims to have witnessed documents detailing UFO retrievals and reverse engineering, positing that UFOs might originate from extra dimensions. Scepticism from some experts and scientists centres on the absence of concrete evidence to validate Grusch's assertions, which align with a pattern of similar claims from former federal department employees over the years, prompting questions about their credibility.

During an open hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee on April 19, the Department of Defense (DoD) provided insights into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), displayed videos portraying an unidentified object with an atmospheric wake or cavitation behind it. The video was recorded by an MQ-9 forward-looking infrared video sensor in South Asia, tracking another MQ-9. AARO conducted a comprehensive analysis involving full motion video, additional footage, and commercial flight data, leading them to tentatively conclude that the object is likely a commercial aircraft and the trailing cavitation results from video compression. The investigation is still pending final review, suggesting the process is ongoing. The supplementary footage presented exhibited apparent back-and-forth motion due to the sensor attempting to zoom in on the swiftly moving Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) rather than the MQ-9.

The shared DNA system's resemblance implies a common origin, likely stemming from a similar physicochemical process and initial conditions. Non-coding sequences, once dubbed "junk DNA," are vital for gene expression regulation through epigenetics. The 64bp gene address mentioned may solely function in genetic engineering, possibly lacking relevance within EBOs' bodies. EBOs employ a 4bp chromosomal address, capable of distinguishing 256 chromosomes, surpassing the 16 observed in their genome. Despite this, the uniformity of intergenic regions in EBOs raises concerns about potential unintended interactions and chromosomal fragility. The notion of an "index" system in EBOs may pose challenges due to shared core palindromic sequences and minor differences between target index sequences.

On May 17, 2022, the United States House Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation convened public congressional hearings to address military reports of unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs). Marking the first such hearings in over 50 years, the event delved into the history of UFO investigations, including the disbandment of Project Blue Book in 1969 due to a perceived lack of national security threat. Media reports in 2017 and the 2020 Covid relief bill highlighted secretive Pentagon efforts to study UAPs. The June 2021 unclassified report, mandated by the Covid relief bill, revealed that 144 UAP incidents dating back to 2004 remained unexplained, prompting a call for further investigation. In November 2021, the Pentagon established the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG) to continue the work of the Navy's Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force. The 2022 hearings featured military officials testifying about the rising number of sightings, the necessity of interagency cooperation, and the potential threats of foreign hypersonic weapons programs. Declassified images and footage of UFOs were presented during the hearings, underlining the need for ongoing study of these phenomena.

Issued on June 25, 2021, by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Report offers a comprehensive overview of UAPs, compiling 144 observations by the U.S. Armed Forces from 2004 to 2021. The report highlights that the UAP Task Force struggled to ascertain the origins of most sightings (143 out of 144), identifying only one case as a "large, deflating balloon." Notable characteristics of UAPs include their unconventional flight behaviour, like hovering against the wind and sudden manoeuvres without apparent propulsion. The report classifies potential explanations into airborne clutter, atmospheric phenomena, government or industry developmental programs, foreign adversary systems, and an "other" category. Although not attributing the phenomena to extraterrestrial life, the report underscores the need for further study and investment. Some UAP sightings correlate with radio frequency energy, prompting exploration into potential groundbreaking technology. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio expressed concerns about national security implications, and the report's classified annexe was presented to congressional intelligence committees. Despite the categorizations, the report doesn't offer a conclusive explanation for all the observed UAPs.

In 2021, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) utilized its classified analysis system called "Sentient" to detect an unconventional "tic tac" shaped object. Sentient, an advanced tool with classified details, was designed to process diverse data, anticipate future events, and direct satellites. While the full extent of its capabilities remains classified, it was disclosed in 2022 that Sentient can identify UFOs. Documents released under the Freedom of Information Act #FOIA by the NRO revealed that Sentient detected and tracked unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) on May 6, 2021. The object's shape resembled the "tic tac" observed in the famous 2004 USS Nimitz incident, suggesting it was not a sensor artefact. The NRO's redacted PowerPoint presentation indicated the involvement of the UAP Task Force, NRO, and potentially a contractor in discussions about using Sentient's capabilities for UAP detection. Due to redactions, details about another "vessel" 15.5 miles away from the UAP were unclear.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/21/special-series/harry-reid-ufo.html

Harry Reid reflects on his enduring interest in UFOs, tracing it back to his attendance at a conference on unidentified aerial phenomena. In 2007, he collaborated with fellow senators to secure funding for the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which investigated UFO reports involving American military personnel. The government's exploration of UFOs persists through the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force. Reid's intrigue with the enigmatic stems from his upbringing in rural Nevada, where he pondered the mysteries of the night sky. Despite his limited scientific background, Reid has a deep curiosity and inquisitiveness. He visited Area 51, a classified Air Force testing site, and emphasized the importance of transparent discussions and scientific examination of UFO encounters. While he believes there's information about UFOs that can be shared with the public without compromising national security, he also acknowledges the complexity of these phenomena. Reid underscores the need to approach UFO research with a scientific lens, aiming not to prove the existence of extraterrestrial life but to remain open to the possibility if scientific evidence supports it. He humbly acknowledges his ongoing quest for knowledge in this field.

Former Israeli space security chief Haim Eshed claimed that humanity has been engaged with extraterrestrials from a "galactic federation." According to Eshed, these extraterrestrial beings have requested their presence to remain undisclosed due to humanity's lack of readiness to comprehend it fully. He disclosed that agreements for cooperation had been established between humans and aliens, including an "underground base in the depths of Mars" involving American astronauts and alien representatives. Eshed further stated that President Donald Trump was informed about the aliens' existence and was on the verge of revealing this information but was cautioned against doing so to prevent causing "mass hysteria." While there was no response from the White House or Israeli officials, NASA acknowledged its pursuit of detecting extraterrestrial life, although concrete evidence remains elusive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PentagonUFOvideos

The Pentagon UFO videos consist of visual recordings captured by US Navy fighter jets in 2004, 2014, 2015, and 2019, depicting encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). After gaining significant media attention and speculation, the Pentagon officially declassified and released these videos in 2020 and 2021. Notable instances include Commander David Fravor's investigation of a possible UFO target in 2004, observing a white, oval-shaped object hovering above the ocean, and videos from 2014-2015 showing unknown aerial objects encountered by pilots from the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group. Various explanations for these videos include instrument malfunctions, observational illusions, conventional aircraft or aerial devices, and speculative ideas about alien spacecraft. Some experts suggest the UFOs might be drones operated by foreign nations to assess US defenses, while others consider possibilities like electronic warfare or sensor errors. The US Navy revised its reporting procedures to encourage pilots to report unexplained aerial observations. The 2021 preliminary UFO report by the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) did not provide a definitive conclusion on the nature of these UAPs, presenting five potential categories of explanation. The investigation into UAP phenomena continues, focusing on implications for aircraft safety and national security.

https://www.cnn.com/2017/12/16/politics/pentagon-ufo-project/index.html

Former Senate majority leader Harry Reid was key in initiating the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a Pentagon program focused on investigating reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The program was active from late 2008 through 2011 and cost taxpayers $22 million. Much of the funding went to an aerospace research company led by Robert Bigelow, a close ally of Reid, who is also collaborating with NASA on space projects. The program was run secretly within the Pentagon, led by military intelligence official Luis Elizondo. Although the Defense Department officially stated that the program ended in 2012, insiders suggest that it continues investigating UFO episodes reported by service members while performing their other defense duties. The existence of such a program demonstrates an ongoing interest in monitoring potential unidentified aerial threats.

Avi Loeb, a prominent astrophysicist at Harvard University, has gained attention for his groundbreaking research in astrophysics, particularly on topics such as black holes and the early universe. However, he has also stirred controversy by delving into the subject of space aliens and their potential existence. His involvement with the Breakthrough Starshot project, aimed at sending light sail spacecraft to nearby stars, drew significant interest. In 2017, Loeb's focus shifted when the interstellar object 'Oumuamua entered the scene. The object's peculiar properties, including its shape, reflectivity, and acceleration, led Loeb to propose the idea that it might be an extraterrestrial light sail, a notion that has garnered both media attention and skepticism from fellow scientists. Despite criticism, Loeb stands firm in his belief that the scientific community should openly explore unconventional ideas, including the search for technological signs of alien life. He has published a book, "Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth," to further discuss his persfirmly believespective and challenge the norms of scientific inquiry. Loeb emphasizes the importance of genuine curiosity, evidence-based exploration, and open dialogue in shaping the future of scientific discovery.

Pope Francis expressed his openness to baptizing aliens during a homily on acceptance and inclusion within the Catholic Church. He referred to a Bible story about pagans' conversion to Christianity and emphasized accepting the Holy Spirit, even if it comes in unimaginable forms. The Pope humorously described a hypothetical scenario of baptizing a Martian with green skin, long nose, and big ears, akin to children's drawings. He highlighted the historical struggle within Christianity to accept various manifestations of God's presence and questioned the right to close doors if the Lord shows the way. This isn't the first instance of the Vatican discussing the idea of baptizing extraterrestrial beings, as a former astronomer of Pope Benedict XVI also mentioned willingness to baptize aliens if they asked.

https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Ryan-HOC-Testimony.pdf

Beginning in 2014, I was stationed near Virginia Beach, and my squadron, VFA-11, was equipped with upgraded radar systems. It was then that we began detecting unexplained UAP in our airspace. Initially considered software glitches, we confirmed their physical presence through infrared sensors. Over time, these UAP sightings became commonplace, even routine, and were corroborated by multiple sensor systems. These encounters led to open discussions among aircrew, forming an "open secret" within our squadron.

One significant event occurred during a training mission in Warning Area W-72, ten miles off Virginia Beach's coast. On this day in 2014, as our F/A-18F Super Hornets entered the airspace, my fellow pilot and I observed a dark gray cube encased within a clear sphere, seemingly motionless against the wind, positioned directly at our entry point. In response to avoid a collision, both aircraft were forced to take evasive maneuvers, abruptly terminating the mission. Despite submitting a safety report, there was no official acknowledgment or further reporting mechanism for such encounters. These UAP encounters displayed extraordinary capabilities that surpassed our understanding of existing technology. Their acceleration exceeded Mach 1, remained motionless against strong winds, and outperformed our fighter jets, operating seamlessly throughout the day. These objects exhibited no conventional features like wings, flaps, or engines. As an engineer, I struggled to explain these phenomena.

I founded Americans for Safe Aerospace to offer support, research, and public education for aircrew impacted by UAP encounters. Our organization has connected with nearly 5,000 members and worked with over 30 UAP witnesses who have come forward with their experiences. In conclusion, I aim today to emphasize the urgency of addressing these UAP events. As a pilot and witness, I firmly believe advanced UAP sightings are a significant national security and aviation safety concern. The American people, and the global community, deserve transparency and serious investigation into these encounters.

The supervisor told him “everyone sees weird shit in the ocean.” The event likely did not make its way into Navy or UAPTF reporting channels or Congress prior to it being disclosed to a journalist in 2021.

In a letter dated June 24, 2009, addressed to Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn III, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid discusses the Advanced Aerospace Threat and Identification Program (AATIP) and its purpose. The letter highlights the Senate's mandate for the Defense Intelligence Agency to assess foreign aerospace threats spanning up to forty years into the future. Technical studies encompass advanced lift, propulsion, unconventional materials, controls, weaponry, and human effects. Reid emphasizes the need for stringent protection of sensitive and unconventional aerospace findings, requesting the establishment of a Restricted Special-Access-Program (SAP) with restricted access for specific portions of the AATIP. The letter outlines the necessity for specialized individuals from the Department of Defense and the private sector due to the potential application of these technologies in space flight, weapons, communications, and propulsion. Reid underscores the unique security challenges posed by the project and highlights the need for enhanced safeguarding procedures beyond conventional SAP protocols.

Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Vatican's chief astronomer, advocates for the possibility of advanced extraterrestrial life, highlighting the abundance of planets in various galaxies. He sees no contradiction between belief in extraterrestrial beings and faith in God, suggesting that just as Earth has diverse creatures, other intelligent beings might exist as creations of God. Funes speculates that humanity could be the "lost sheep" of the universe while other beings could enjoy a harmonious relationship with their creator. He calls for improved dialogue between faith and science, suggesting that scientists explore the Bible and the Church keeps up with scientific advancements to bridge the gap. Funes views the "big bang" theory as compatible with faith in God as the universe's creator. Alongside this, Project Blue Book, a US Air Force study on UFOs conducted from 1952 to 1969, aimed to assess the threat of UFOs to national security and analyze related data. Despite collecting thousands of reports, only 701 cases remained unexplained at the project's termination, and the overall conclusion was that UFOs posed no significant threat or demonstrated extraterrestrial technology.

On November 7, 2006, around 16:15 CST, a remarkable incident occurred at Chicago O'Hare International Airport. Federal authorities received a report that a group of twelve airport employees had witnessed a metallic, saucer-shaped craft hovering over Gate C-17. The sighting began when a ramp employee pushing back United Airlines Flight 446, bound for Charlotte, North Carolina, spotted the object. The sighting was corroborated by pilots, airline personnel, and mechanics. Interestingly, air traffic controllers did not observe the object, and it didn't register on radar. Witnesses described the craft as noiseless, with a diameter ranging from 6 to 24 feet, and it appeared dark gray. Witnesses outside the airport also reported seeing the same object, with one observer describing it as a disc-shaped craft hovering over the airport, creating a distinct hole in the cloud cover as it shot through at high speed. This unusual event lasted for about five minutes and was witnessed by several United Airlines employees who had rushed out to view it

Flight 446 was getting ready to fly to North Carolina from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport when a United Airlines employee on the tarmac noticed a dark grey metallic craft hovering over gate C17. That day, November 7, 2006, a total of 12 United employees—and a few witnesses outside the airport—spotted the saucer-shaped craft around 4:15 p.m.

The witnesses say it hovered for about five minutes before shooting upward, where it broke a hole in the clouds—enough that pilots and mechanics could see the blue sky. The news report became the most-read story on The Chicago Tribune’s website to that date and made international news. However, because the UFO was not seen on radar, the FAA called it a “weather phenomenon” and declined to investigate.

The report, authored in 2000 and recently unearthed by researcher David Clarke, compiles UFO sightings reported to the MoD over previous decades. However, the report's credibility has been questioned due to its lack of direct consultation with scientists and reliance on literature searches and theories from UFO folklore. The report suggests that many UFO sightings could be attributed to misidentifications of aircraft or unusual weather phenomena. Claims that plasma balls in the atmosphere could interfere with the brain's temporal lobes and create abduction memories have also been criticized as lacking solid scientific backing.

On November 2004, Fravor was the Commanding Officer of Strike Fighter Squadron Forty-One aboard the USS Nimitz (CVN-68). During a training exercise, he encountered a distinctive UAP phenomenon. As he launched with his wingman, they were informed of real-world tasking, suspending their training exercise. The USS Princeton, CG-59, tracked unknown objects on their radar systems for about two weeks. These objects had descended from above 80,000 feet, coming down to 20,000 feet, remaining for hours, and ascending rapidly.

On that day, at 20,000 feet, a contact appeared in the vicinity, and the controller indicated a Merge Plot. As they observed, they spotted a small Tic Tac-shaped object above the ocean's white water. It exhibited extraordinary agility, abruptly changing direction and altitude. Fravor's aircraft attempted to approach for a closer look, but the object accelerated and disappeared. The incident was captured in a now-famous video taken by another crew. Fravor revealed that the event was never officially investigated, and his crew was not questioned. In 2009, Jay Stratton, part of the ATIP program, reached out to investigate. Fravor continued by discussing his subsequent contact with Lue Elizondo, who had left the Pentagon and joined To The Stars Academy. This organization addressed UAP issues, leading to articles in the New York Times in December 2017, contributing to the growing public and government interest in UAPs. Their aircraft's infrared sensor also detected the object's heat signature, which lacked the typical plume of conventional propulsion systems. While the exact number of observers is not explicitly stated, it involved Commander Fravor, his Weapons System Officer, and potentially his wingman, emphasizing the need for oversight and understanding of such UAP encounters.

A former White House chief of staff, John Podesta, and an international investigative journalist have called on the Pentagon to declassify classified files related to unidentified flying objects (UFOs). They are not seeking to prove the existence of aliens but rather to promote the scientific investigation of unexplained aerial phenomena. The Coalition for Freedom of Information (CFI), backed by the Sci-Fi channel, aims to access secret government records involving projects like Project Moon Dust and Operation Blue Fly, which were clandestine operations investigating UFOs and retrieving unknown objects. The CFI emphasizes that the goal is a serious scientific investigation, not a publicity stunt, to address the documented cases of strange aerial phenomena and reduce scientific ridicule associated with UFOs.

During the cold war, the U.S. military misled the public about the true nature of many unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings to hide the existence of its spy planes, according to a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) study. The study reveals that many UFO reports were actually sightings of U-2 and SR-71 spy planes developed in the 1950s and 1960s to gather intelligence. These planes flew at high altitudes beyond those of commercial airliners, which contributed to their mysterious appearances. Rather than acknowledging the existence of these top-secret flights, the Air Force created false cover stories attributing the sightings to atmospheric phenomena. The admission of this deception is seen as significant and raises questions about other UFO-related cover-ups.

The discussion pertains to the secrecy surrounding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and its potential connection to socioeconomic factors.

The implication is that disclosing information about UAPs could bring about a paradigm shift in our understanding. Unfortunately, no specific URL links are provided in your text for additional context.

The individual had access to information from the highest echelons of the intelligence community, including insights from informants like Bobby Ray Inman, a distinguished figure in the US Navy and Intelligence Community. Inman conveyed that matters related to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) or Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) are classified under national secrecy regulations, revealing possession of operational crafts in this realm. The concept of NHI dates back to 1993, and secrecy surrounding these subjects traces its origins to the 1950s. Reference is made to a NASA study exploring the potential consequences of publicly addressing encounters with NHI, highlighting significant shifts in theology, economics, technology, and energy, exemplified by the obsolescence of fossil fuels. Rather than an abrupt disclosure, the approach gradually introduced transformative changes over time, although this strategy deviated from its intended course. Multiple governments are similarly inclined to keep these matters confidential due to concerns about socio-economic upheaval, as also indicated by Grusch. The narrator underscores personal sightings of NHI vehicles on several occasions.

The claim suggests that Russian soldiers were turned to stone after shooting down a UFO on March 27, 1993. A CIA report, complete with photos and witness statements, documents the incident. According to reports from a Ukrainian publication called Ternopil Vechirniy, soldiers in Siberia observed a flying saucer, shot it down, and saw five alien beings emerge. The story states that a white ball appeared, exploded, and turned 23 soldiers into stone. There are speculations about alleged contact between Russians and gray aliens in 1942. Surviving soldiers described the aliens' advanced technology. However, due to the fantastical nature of the claim, it should be approached with skepticism and verified through credible sources.

These UAP events, known as "fast walkers," were tracked by NORAD. The USAF Foreign Technology Division, Flight Performance Division (FTD/SQDF), was assigned to analyze unknown data related to these UAPs. The paper notes "undocumented" simulations conducted on UAP within NORAD's Space Surveillance Center at Cheyenne Mountain Complex. It remains unclear if conclusions regarding fast walkers were shared with Congress in classified settings, as they have not been disclosed publicly or in open hearings. J. Allen Hynek, Project Blue Book's scientific advisor, previously revealed that NORAD and SAC radar had tracked UAP in 1967.

In a congress leak from 29 December 1987, CIA and civilian pilot John Lear, the son of William Lear, founder of Lear Siegler Corp, claimed that the US government (USG) had been collaborating with gray extraterrestrials since the 1960s. He made several other claims, including assertions that Germany may have recovered a saucer as early as 1939, Gen. James Doolittle inspected a crashed saucer in Sweden in 1946, Truman established MJ-12 in 1947, and there were multiple saucer crashes in the late 1940s in places like Roswell, Aztec, and Laredo, TX. Notably, one saucer crashed in the 1950s was too large to transport and had to be buried. Allegedly, the logistics for moving crashed saucers were legendary, involving night moves, purchasing entire farms, clearing forests, blocking highways, and using multiple trucks in tandem. He also claimed that the first communication between aliens and the USG occurred at Holloman AFB on 30 April 1964, leading to a deal in which the USG ignored abductions in exchange for technology. He said abductions were more sinister than just monitoring; they involved implanting devices, posthypnotic suggestions, termination of people for biological material, termination of threats, genetic experiments, and impregnation. He further asserted that an altercation occurred at the Dulce laboratory in 1979. By the 1980s, MJ-12, a secretive group, began promoting positive film projects about aliens to distract from their dealings with extraterrestrial beings. Some MJ-12 members at a place referred to as the "Country Club" contemplated confessing the scheme, while others aimed to develop anti-UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) weapons under the cover of SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative). One saucer was so enormous and the logistical problems in transportation so enormous that it was buried at the crash site and remains there today. The stories are legendary on transporting crashed saucers over long distances, moving only at night, purchasing complete farms, slashing through forests, blocking major highways, sometimes driving two and three low-boys in tandem with an extraterrestrial load a hundred feet in diameter.

Possible hint at Ross Coulthart's giant UFO that is "part of five eyes", ""not in America", is "too big to move", and "had to build over it", has a "laudatory" purpose, and is "football" shaped, and some text in "https://cdn.preterhuman.net/texts/alien.ufo/UFOBBS/1000/1953.ufo".

On November 17, 1986, a notable UFO incident involving a Japan Air Lines Cargo Flight 1628 took place. This incident centered around a Japanese Boeing 747-200F cargo aircraft traveling from Paris to Narita International Airport near Tokyo. The airplane was carrying Beaujolais wine. While flying over eastern Alaska during the Reykjavík to Anchorage leg of the journey at around 17:11, the crew spotted two unidentified objects to their left. These objects rapidly ascended from below and approached to escort the aircraft. Each object displayed two arrays of glowing nozzles or thrusters, while their bodies remained obscured in darkness. The aircraft's cabin was illuminated, and the crew could feel the heat on their faces as the objects came closest. Eventually, the two escorting craft departed, making way for a much larger, disk-shaped object that began trailing behind the airplane. Anchorage Air Traffic Control even asked an approaching United Airlines flight and a military aircraft to confirm the unidentified traffic, but by around 17:51, when they observed JAL 1628, no other crafts could be identified. The entire sighting persisted for 50 minutes and concluded in the vicinity of Denali.

Security police at the Indian Point Nuclear Plant in Buchanan, NY, reportedly witnessed a UAP with oscillating yellow, white, and blue lights that caused the plant's sensors, alarms, and security communications computer to fail. The UAP, described as cone-shaped and as long as three football fields, passed directly over the Unit 3 reactor for about five minutes. One officer managed to film the object using a camera. Within two days, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reportedly reassigned the plant's security operations, and records of the event were removed. The NRC, a regulatory agency established in the 1970s, was allegedly aware of a similar UAP sighting over another nuclear station in the late 1980s but did not formally investigate it.

On April 11, 1980, at La Joya Air Force Base in Peru, General Luis Spicer oversaw Peruvian Air Force training when a UFO was detected by the control tower. A large, glowing object approached the base, evading attempts at communication. Lieutenant Oscar Santa Maria Huertas piloted a Su-22 to intercept the UFO, describing it as a dome-shaped craft with a bright halo and remarkable agility. Despite firing at it, the UFO absorbed projectiles and ascended rapidly, displaying advanced capabilities. The incident, witnessed by around 2,000 personnel, remains a well-documented UFO encounter involving the military. Santa Maria's encounter with the enigmatic object prompted Peruvian government reporting to U.S. authorities like the CIA, NSA, and secretary of state. General Spicer emphasized the importance of understanding these phenomena to determine their nature and potential implications.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BobLazar

Bob Lazar is a controversial American businessman and conspiracy theorist who asserts that he participated in reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology at a secret site called "S-4," located near Area 51. He claims to have examined an alien spacecraft and accessed US government documents detailing alien interactions with humans across millennia. Lazar's claims have popularized discussions about Area 51 and fueled conspiracy narratives regarding its covert activities. However, doubts have been cast on his educational background, as there is no verifiable evidence of his alleged degrees from MIT and Caltech. He was employed as a technician for a contractor at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility, not as a physicist. Critics and the US Air Force have discredited Lazar's alleged involvement in reverse-engineering flying saucers at "S-4," particularly his assertions about an antimatter-powered craft fueled by element E115, which lacks scientific support. His claims about the historical connection between saucers and extraterrestrial beings lack substantiating evidence. Despite attracting both proponents and skeptics, there is no concrete proof to corroborate his claims of alien technology or interactions. Lazar's workplace was subject to a law enforcement raid in 2017, linked to a murder investigation in which he was not implicated.

Operação Prato, a significant UFO phenomenon, unfolded in Brazil from 1977 to 1978. Investigated by the Brazilian Air Force, the event encompassed prolonged UFO sightings and interactions primarily in villages like Colares. Witnesses reported experiencing burns from light rays emitted by the UFOs. Air Force agents witnessed these unidentified aerial phenomena and collected photographic and film evidence. The official investigation lasted four months but continued unofficially into 1978. In 2005, Brazilian ufologists pushed for declassifying classified UFO files, leading to meetings with high-ranking generals. These officials acknowledged the systematic tracking of UFOs since 1954. Recognizing the importance of ufology, the Air Force pledged to release classified files and proposed a collaborative committee for UFO research. However, public access to classified files necessitated approval from the Air Force chief, Defense Minister, and Brazilian president. The Operação Prato incident is part of a broader history of UFO engagement by the Brazilian government, such as the 1986 radar-tracked incident involving UFOs and jet fighter pursuits.

The 1976 Tehran UFO Incident occurred on September 19, involving an unidentified flying object (UFO) over Tehran, Iran. During the event, two F-4 Phantom II jet interceptors from the Imperial Iranian Air Force reported losing instrumentation and communication as they approached the object, with their systems restored upon withdrawal. One jet also experienced a temporary weapons systems failure. Civilians and military personnel spotted a shining object in the sky, and two interceptors were sent to investigate. One pilot reported losing instruments and communications upon approaching the object, while another described encountering a flashing, multicolored object that caused equipment malfunctions when he attempted to engage it. Analysis suggests possible misidentifications of astronomical bodies and meteor showers, as well as equipment malfunctions, contributing to the incident. Skeptics assert that many elements can be explained without invoking the presence of an alien spacecraft.

During the Cold War, recently revealed secret files indicate that two U.S. fighter planes were dispatched to intercept and potentially shoot down an unidentified flying object (UFO) over the English countryside. The incident, disclosed through National Archives files in London, occurred in May 1957. Pilot Milton Torres, now living in Miami, recounted his experience when he was seconds away from firing rockets at the object, which exhibited erratic movement and had a radar reading resembling "a flying aircraft carrier." Despite reaching speeds exceeding 7,600 mph (12,000 kph) and moments from firing, the UFO abruptly vanished from radar. Following the incident, Torres was cautioned by an undisclosed individual, threatening national security repercussions if he spoke about it. The documents don't offer an official explanation for the event, with speculation ranging from secret military experiments to possible UFO involvement.

A recently further declassified 1955 CIA memo highlights a remarkable event during the Cold War involving former U.S. Senator Richard B. Russell's sighting of a "saucer-like" craft in Russia. The memo, authored by Herbert Scoville Jr., details an interview with Russell on October 27, 1955, during which he observed a greenish-yellow ball rising quickly while on a train journey out of Baku. Russell's skepticism transformed into certainty as he and his group witnessed a second similar object ascending into the sky. The objects exhibited a "whirling" motion and a "yellowish glow," observed at a significant altitude without associated lights. Notably, the incident occurred during a train trip personally requested by Russell, dispelling notions of a staged event. Russell also observed military barracks, personnel, and radar installations, including a nearby "big egg beater object," during a motor trip between Moscow and Borodino. The incident was previously mentioned in a 1955 "Current Intelligence Bulletin" and Project Blue Book files, with the full memo's declassification prompted by a Mandatory Declassification Review case.

This document discusses the presence of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the United States and speculates on their potential Soviet origin and motives. It notes patterns in UFO sightings across the country and dismisses the idea that they are merely rumor-induced, suggesting instead that these sightings may represent advanced Soviet aircraft. The document posits three possible reasons for these Soviet UFOs: first, to sow doubt in the efficacy of U.S. atomic weapons as a propaganda tactic; second, for photographic reconnaissance, possibly to map certain U.S. regions; and third, as a means to test U.S. defense capabilities, crucial information for any potential Soviet strategic planning. This document thus highlights the complex and uncertain nature of the UFO phenomenon during its written period. Among the incidents reported, many statements by reliable and experienced persons tend to confirm that flying objects have been seen. Approximately 210 incidents have been reported. The observers reporting such incidents are trained and experienced U.S. Weather Bureau personnel, USAF-rated officers, experienced civilian pilots, technicians associated with various research projects and technicians employed by commercial airlines. The description of such objects seems to fall roughly into three categories: (1) Silver disks or balls, approximating a Horten wing-type aircraft; (2) Balls of fire of various colors and intensities; (3) Cigar or pencil-shaped objects similar in appearance to V-2 type rockets in horizontal flight. The number of configurations might be further reduced with the following considerations in mind: Silver disks or balls have, for the greater part, been observed in daylight, and a number under clear weather conditions with visibility unlimited. In most instances, balls of fire have been observed at night. Cigar, or pencil-shaped objects, have been sighted in fewer numbers but with about equal distribution in daylight and at night. A few accounts tell of the disks having a rough cigar shape when viewed while maneuvering. Some of the disks are described as having luminosity in daylight. It, therefore, is possible that a single type of object may be involved in all sightings, and differences in description may result from viewing the objects at various angles and under differing conditions of visibility.

link1950 - Prime Minister Winston Churchill ordered a UFO sighting to be kept secret to prevent "mass panic." #FOIA

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-10853905

Newly declassified files reveal that the UK government treated UFO sightings seriously in the 1950s, engaging intelligence officials in discussions and requesting weekly reports on UFO encounters. In 1957, the Joint Intelligence Committee received reports detailing approximately one UFO sighting per week. It's noted that during World War II, Prime Minister Winston Churchill allegedly ordered the secrecy of a UFO sighting to prevent potential mass panic. Notably, UFO reports surged in 1996, coinciding with the popularity of the TV show The X-Files. The files encompass various incidents, including the "Welsh Roswell" in 1974, a near-miss by a 737 plane in 1995, a "crashed UFO" investigated by a mountain rescue team in Wales in 1974, and attempted break-ins at RAF Rudloe Manor. The records also mention events like the Western Isles incident, where a loud explosion was reported in the sky. Among these files are over 5,000 pages of UFO reports, letters, drawings from the public, and parliamentary inquiries into the matter.

Battelle Memorial Institute, a research organization, conducted the analysis. Elroy John Center, a Battelle scientist, was revealed to be a co-author of a 1949 Battelle report on analyzing memory metals, specifically Titanium alloys like Nitinol. Center had privately mentioned his involvement in analyzing UFO debris, and this revelation matched the report's findings obtained through FOIA.

Battelle is highlighted as a significant organization involved in various sectors, including defense and science. The post also notes its connections to government agencies, its status as a 501(c)(3) organization, and its control over various national laboratories. The analysis further points out connections between the report's findings and the characteristics of the Roswell crash metal, including its "shape memory" properties. General Arthur Exon's testimony and General George Schulgen's memo, along with other military studies on memory metals, are discussed as supportive evidence.

Dr. Howard C. Cross, a Battelle scientist, is identified as a key figure in UFO research for government agencies and top-secret Titanium alloy studies. The possibility of Battelle's advanced arc furnace's role in creating Nitinol memory metal is raised. The post also delves into Dr. Edgar Mitchell's statements about a "semi or quasi-private organization" involved in UFO secrecy, which the author connects to Battelle due to its characteristics and involvement in UFO-related projects. Overall, the post presents a detailed analysis of documents, reports, and statements to establish the connection between Battelle Memorial Institute and its role in analyzing materials from the Roswell UFO crash.

link1949 - Battle of Los Angeles #news

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BattleofLosAngeles

The Battle of Los Angeles occurred on February 24-25, 1942, in Los Angeles, California, during World War II. It was a purported attack on the continental U.S. by Imperial Japan, prompting a massive anti-aircraft artillery barrage. Shortly after the U.S. entered the war, the event initially raised concerns of a Japanese assault. However, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox later dismissed it as a "false alarm." Speculation arose about a possible cover-up to hide a real invasion. In 1949, it was revealed that a meteorological balloon had triggered the incident, leading to widespread firing and panic. The U.S. Office of Air Force History attributed the event in 1983 to heightened wartime anxiety and lost weather balloons. Despite official explanations, the incident influenced air raid precautions and increased anti-aircraft defenses, while some continued to question its true cause.

link1947, September 23 - General Twinning Memo

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20797978-twining-memo

In a document dated September 23, 1947, the Air Materiel Command (AMC) presented its considered opinion on the phenomenon of "Flying Discs," or UFO sightings, which were a subject of intense interest at the time. The document outlined several key points, including the acknowledgment that these sightings were not considered fictitious but rather something real and not visionary. Reports described disc-shaped objects of substantial size, some displaying remarkable flight characteristics such as rapid climb rates, exceptional maneuverability, and evasive actions when encountering friendly aircraft and radar. Furthermore, the document noted common features of these objects, including metallic or reflective surfaces, circular or elliptical shapes, and the absence of trails, adding an element of mystery to the sightings. The possibility of domestic origin or the involvement of classified projects was also considered. However, the lack of physical evidence, such as crash-recovered exhibits, remained a challenge in confirming the existence and source of these objects.

link1947, July - Roswell incident #news

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roswellincident

https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/161b6cn/roswell_the_wrightpatterson_air_force_and/

The Roswell incident in June and July 1947 in New Mexico involved the military's initial announcement of recovering debris from a "flying disc," which was later retracted as a conventional weather balloon. Retired lieutenant Colonel Jesse Marcel's claims in 1978 fueled conspiracy theories that the debris was from an alien spaceship and led to government cover-up speculation. The United States Air Force's 1994 report attributed the incident to a nuclear test surveillance balloon from Project Mogul. Despite explanations, the Roswell incident remains associated with UFOs and aliens, reflecting the 1947 flying disc craze and becoming an enduring cultural symbol. The event's portrayal in media and its place in popular culture makes it a significant and long-standing UFO claim.

link1944, December 14 - New York Times: US Army Air Force reported they were encountering "silver colored spheres" in the air over German territory. The spheres are encountered either singly or in clusters, sometimes translucent

https://www.nytimes.com/1944/12/14/archives/floating-mystery-ball-is-new-nazi-air-weapon.html

On December 13th, at Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force, a startling revelation emerged regarding a novel German weapon on the western air front. American Air Force pilots reported their encounters with enigmatic silver spheres hovering over German territory. These spheres appeared either as solitary orbs or in mysterious clusters, occasionally displaying a semi-translucent quality. This astonishing development, dubbed a "secret" weapon, coincided curiously with the Christmas season, resembling the festive glass balls adorning Christmas trees. However, the true nature of these enigmatic spheres remained uncertain, as there was no available information regarding how they remained suspended in the sky, what they contained, or the purpose they were intended to serve. The floating mystery ball had become a perplexing and mystifying addition to the unfolding wartime narrative.

John Lear's UFO hypothesis, detailed in the file UFO 1953, discusses extensive government cover-ups and contact with extraterrestrial beings. Lear, a pilot with a CIA and government background, asserts that the truth about alien interaction has been suppressed for about two decades, causing upheaval. He proposes that Germany may have recovered a saucer in 1939 and describes aliens resembling praying mantises, much more advanced than humans. Some witnesses to the "truth" met mysterious deaths. The MJ-12, a top military scientist group, handles UFO matters involving saucer crashes like Roswell. Lear alleges a communication with aliens at Holloman Air Force Base in 1964 and a technology-for-silence deal in 1969-1971. He claims abductions involve brain implants and genetic experiments, suggesting aliens rely on human and animal tissues for survival, leading to cattle mutilations. Lear states MJ-12 planned gradual disclosure to the public, potentially involving UFO researcher William Moore. He implies extraterrestrial existence is hidden via media manipulation, raising questions about alien infiltration or invasion.
