Is the Media Taking UFO Sightings Seriously?

Article by Dani Di Placido                                               May 17, 2021                                                                     (forbes.com)

• It wasn’t long ago that the biggest media platform a ufologist could hope for was The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. But now, with UFO footage and eyewitness accounts being discussed in mainstream outlets like the New Yorker, the NYTimes, and 60 Minutes, there has been a dramatic tonal shift in how the subject is being treated. It’s an exciting time to be a UFO enthusiast.

• The timing isn’t coincidental. UFO enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating a declassified report on UFOs by the Director of National Intelligence and the Pentagon is due to be handed over to the Senate Intelligence Committee in June.

• On a recent 60 Minutes episode, CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker delved into US government efforts to uncover the truth behind the UFO phenomenon, motivated by national security concerns. Whitaker interviewed Luis Elizondo, who ran a Pentagon UFO program called Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) back in 2010. When asked if he believes that UFOs are real, Elizondo said, “The government has already stated for the record that they’re real. I’m not telling you that. The United States government is telling you that.”

• Elizondo is not saying that intelligent extraterrestrials have visited Earth. While according to astrobiologists the likelihood of extraterrestrial life is almost a certainty, there is no evidence that extraterrestrial life has visited Earth. Skeptic UFO investigator Mick West sees the unidentified flying blobs in those grainy videos taken by Navy pilots – in an era where most people carry HD cameras in our pockets – as mundane (tricks of photography or common objects such as balloons). With the frequency of UFO sightings, crystal-clear footage of a gleaming alien spacecraft should have emerged somewhere on the internet by now.

• Many of us ‘want to believe’, and there’s no reason not to keep an open mind. But we should heed the wise words of Carl Sagan, that “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” And unless the Pentagon is going to provide extraordinary evidence in June, those extraordinary claims have little merit.

[Editor’s Note]   Anyone who is not convinced that extraterrestrial beings and their craft have frequented the Earth for millennia is trying very hard to ignore the multitude of evidence. Skeptics like Mick West will never be convinced, even when extraterrestrial beings land, get out of their craft, walk up to West and said, “Hello, we are from the Alpha Centauri star system.  Nice to meet you.” These media trolls would rather abide by sort of foreign invasion scenario than to accept that we have benevolent extraterrestrial cousins in our galaxy who would like to see the Earth join their space-faring ranks.

While the best UFO photos have been sequestered by governments (see ExoArticle: “British Military Has UFO Videos and Must Release Them”), there are still many great photos of UFOs out there. Of course, skeptics will always deny their authenticity. The US government is only providing the grainy photos at this time because they want a maddingly slow drip of UFO disclosure. They want to dominate the narrative with the ‘threat’ that UFOs may pose to our national security. Mainstream writers of articles such as this one are more than happy to go along with a limited threat narrative disclosure. And when the deep state government follows-up this threat narrative with a false flag ‘alien invasion’, these writers will dutifully go along with that as well – because the mainstream media has become a propaganda tool of the deep state, not a reporter of facts and truth.

And let’s not forget that the “wise” Carl Sagan, who demanded “extraordinary evidence”, was himself a member of the pseudo-governmental UFO overlord group known as Majestic-12 whose function is to suppress and ridicule all evidence of UFOs.

“We have tackled many strange stories on 60 Minutes, but perhaps none like this,”

     ‘tic tac’ UFO off of San Diego in 2004

CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker said on Sunday night’s special, which investigated sightings of “unidentified aerial phenomena,” or UAPs, commonly known as UFOs.

The special focused on publicly released footage of UFOs recorded by Navy pilots, interviewed eyewitnesses, and delved into U.S. government efforts to uncover the truth behind the phenomenon.

Whitaker interviewed Luis Elizondo, who began running a Pentagon program called Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) back in 2010, tasked with studying “the national security implications of unidentified aerial phenomena documented by U.S. service members.”

When asked if he believes that UFOs are real, Elizondo stated: “I think we’re beyond that already. The government has already stated for the record that they’re real. I’m not telling you that. The United States government is telling you that.”

Elizondo, of course, is not saying that extraterrestrial life has visited Earth, but simply confirming the fact that there are regular sightings of unidentified objects in the sky, and that the U.S. government seeks an explanation, motivated by national security concerns.

Regardless, there has been a dramatic tonal shift in how the media discusses UFO footage and eyewitness accounts – it’s certainly an exciting time to be a UFO enthusiast. It wasn’t long ago that the biggest media platform a ufologist could hope for was The Joe Rogan Experience; now, the New Yorker, the NYTimes, and 60 Minutes have made efforts to seriously examine the phenomenon.

The timing isn’t coincidental – a declassified report from the directorate of national intelligence and the Pentagon is due to be handed over to the Senate Intelligence Committee in June, which UFO enthusiasts (along with everyone else) hope will shed some light on the mystery.

But perhaps the public shouldn’t get their hopes up – the likelihood of extraterrestrial life is, according to astrobiologists, almost a certainty – but there is no evidence that extraterrestrial life has visited Earth, or even has the ability (or motivation) to do so.

Harry Reid Saw ‘Classified’ Things at Area 51

Article by Brendan Morrow                                                   May 21, 2021                                                         (theweek.com)

• On May 21st, former Nevada senator Harry Reid wrote an article for The New York Times about how he became “increasingly interested in UFOs,” although his staff warned him not to “engage” with the subject publicly. Nonetheless, in 2007 Reid helped secure funding for a Pentagon program to investigate UFO reports. “I believed that an unofficial taboo regarding the frank discussion of encounters could harm our national security and stymie opportunities for technical advancement,” Reid wrote. “We wanted to take a close, scientific look at the technological implications of reported UFO encounters.”

• There’s information the government has uncovered during its UFO investigations “that can be disclosed to the public without harming our national security,” says Reid. “[T]he American people deserve to know more”. And hopefully they will soon through the upcoming release of a UFO report requested by the Senate Intelligence Committee.

• Reid describes visiting Area 51 as a senator. “I visited Area 51, the top-secret Air Force testing site in southern Nevada long associated with UFO-related conspiracy theories,” he wrote. “What I saw fascinated me, though much of it must remain classified.”

• Reid says that “there’s still a great deal we don’t understand” and that “focusing on little green men or conspiracy theories won’t get us far”. “[But] if science proves that it does, I have no problem with that.”

 

Is the truth out there? Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is weighing in.

Reid wrote an article for The New York Times on Friday discussing how he became “increasingly interested in UFOs,” something he says his staff warned him not to “engage” with publicly. Despite their warnings, the former Nevada senator, as he recounts, helped secure funding for the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, a Pentagon program to investigate UFO reports.

the Senate Intelligence Committee UFO report is due in June

“I believed that an unofficial taboo regarding the frank discussion of encounters could harm our national security and stymie opportunities for technical advancement,” Reid writes. “Which is why, along with Senators [Ted] Stevens and [Daniel] Inouye, I helped create that secret Pentagon program in 2007. We wanted to take a close, scientific look at the technological implications of reported UFO encounters.”

                     “little green men”

Reid argues that there’s information the government has uncovered during its UFO investigations “that can be disclosed to the public without harming our national security,” as “the American people deserve to know more — and hopefully they will soon” through the upcoming release of a UFO report requested by the Senate Intelligence Committee.

At one point, Reid also describes visiting Area 51 as a senator and seeing fascinating things.
“As a Democratic senator from Nevada, I visited Area 51, the top-secret Air Force testing site in southern Nevada long associated with UFO-related conspiracy theories,” he writes. “What I saw fascinated me, though much of it must remain classified.”

Two in Three Americans Think There is Intelligent Life on Other Planets

Article by Fred Backus                                                 May 13, 2021                                                    (cbsnews.com)

• On March 23-28, 2021, SSRS of Glen Mills, PA conducted telephone survey of 1,009 adults nationwide on behalf of CBS News. The survey revealed that 66% of Americans believe that there is intelligent life on other planets. This is a 10% increase since the last CBS poll taken in 2017. A poll taken in 2010 showed that fewer than half of Americans believed in extraterrestrial civilizations.

• Of those who believe in sentient extraterrestrial life, 33% think human contact with beings from another world will occur during their lifetime. 10% of Americans believe that already have been or are currently in contact. 24% think such contact will be made within the next hundred years. 36% think it will happen further into the future, and 6% think that there is intelligent life on other planets, but we will never make contact with them.

• 51% of Americans think UFOs might sometimes be the result of alien spacecraft visiting Earth. This rises to 71% among those who believe intelligent life on other planets exists. And most Americans think that whatever UFOs are, the U.S. government knows more than it’s telling the general public. Only the most gullible 20% think the government has told everything it knows about UFOs.

 

Most Americans think we’re not alone in the cosmos — a belief that has grown over the past few years. Most of those who hold this opinion also think we will make contact with intelligent extraterrestrial life within the next hundred years. And, on the topic of UFOs, most think the U.S. government knows more than it is telling the general public.

Sixty-six percent of Americans now believe that there is intelligent life on other planets — an increase of 10 percentage points since the last time CBS News asked this question in 2017. As recently as 2010, fewer than half of Americans believed this was so.

Moreover, a third of those who believe in sentient extraterrestrial life think human contact with beings from another world will occur during their lifetime (including 10% of Americans who volunteer that we already have). Another 24% think such contact will be made within the next hundred years. Thirty-six percent think it won’t happen until further into the future, while 6% think that while there is intelligent life on other planets, we will never have contact with it.

Though few Americans say they believe aliens have contacted us already, many more at least entertain the possibility. Fifty-one percent of Americans think UFOs — or Unidentified Flying Objects — might sometimes be the result of alien spacecrafts visiting Earth. This rises to 71% among those who believe intelligent life on other planets exists.

And most Americans think that whatever UFOs are, the U.S. government knows more than it’s telling the general public. Just 20% think the government has told everything it knows about UFOs.

Man Abducted by Aliens Says Girlfriend Saw Him Being Returned

Article by Simon Catling                                                  May 15, 2021                                                           (ladbible.com)

• Matthew Moniz (pictured above) was used to being abducted by extraterrestrials. The ETs would levitate him to and from their craft. He tells of one particular night when he was abducted while his girlfriend was sleeping there. “One time I had a young lady that had just moved in with me,” begins Moniz. “One night they came, took me, and in the process of them returning me back they woke her up, at which point I was being levitated.”

• Today, Moniz is the Scentific Advisor for Starborn Support, a community group set up in Maine in 2006 that serves as a support network for alien abductees. “We’re a collection of regular people who share the common feeling these encounters – abduction, contact, or sightings – have deeply affected our lives in some way,” their website reads. “Starborn Support and its members are dedicated to exploring safe and reasonable ways of helping each other come to terms with the impact of these understudied paranormal phenomena. It provides them a space to recount their experiences to others in the same away from those who might judge them to be a bit, well, crazy.”

• Meanwhile in the UK… British UFO chaser Nick Pope is calling on the US government to release the crystal clear and top-secret photo of a 100ft UFO hovering over Calvine in Scotland, since they’re already supposed to be publishing a UFO report in June. “The photos are pretty much as good as it gets. They were assessed by defense intelligence staff as real – they were clearly visible, sharp focused, broad daylight with the Scottish countryside in the background” said Pope, who saw the images when working for the MoD’s ‘UFO Desk’ in the 90s.

• The Calvine photo was apparently taken in August 1990 and Pope says it used to hang on the wall in the UFO investigation unit in Whitehall but was “removed without a trace” when a diplomatic row broke out between the MoD and the US. (Apparently, the US officials took the framed photo for themselves.)

• The UK wants the US to keep the image a secret until at least 2072. But Pope feels that US counterparts could release the photo when a report is published next month. “I hope we get the Calvine photo back,” said Pope. “I hope we find the US government had a copy – I am sure they do – and I hope they publish it in the report as the MoD say it’s either lost or under lock and key for another few decades.”

An American man has been recounting his experience of being abducted by aliens,

claiming that a witness saw him levitating as a result of the extra-terrestrial intervention.

Matthew Moniz told Inside Edition that he was visited by aliens one night not long after a new girlfriend had moved into his house.

“One time I had a young lady that had just moved in with me. One night they came took me and in the process of them returning me back they woke her up, at which point I was being levitated.”

Moniz is listed as the Scentific Advisor for Starborn Support, a community group set up in Maine in 2006 that acts as a support network for many like him who’ve also claimed to see or been abducted by aliens in their lives.

“We’re a collection of regular people who share the common feeling these encounters – abduction, contact, or sightings – have deeply affected our lives in some way,” their site reads.

“Starborn Support and its members are dedicated to exploring safe and reasonable ways of helping each other come to terms with the impact of these understudied paranormal phenomena.”

Army Officer Saw Live Alien ‘the Size of a 10-Year-Old Child’ in Roswell Crash

Article by Emma Parker                                                        May 14, 2021                                                           (dailystar.co.uk)

• 1st Lt. Walter Haut served as the press officer for Roswell Army Air Field at the time of the Roswell New Mexico UFO crash on July 8, 1947. Haut died in 2005. On his death, Haut signed a declaration saying: “I am convinced that what I personally observed was some type of craft and its crew from outer space.”

• At the time, Haut wrote the initial press release that said a “flying disk” had crashed on a ranch near Roswell during a powerful storm. Haut’s statements in the Roswell Daily Record was later redacted, and the story was changed, with the US Army Air Force trying to pass the crash off as a weather balloon. Today, the Roswell crash is generally regarded as a 70 year government cover-up.

• Haut’s friends, Dennis Bathaser and Wendy Connors, filmed a video of Haut in 2000 detailing his extraterrestrial experience. It is reported that in the video, Haut claims there was “one body” in the Roswell crash, a “relatively small body” that could be comparable to a “10 or 11-year-old child.” He said the body was “pretty well beaten up” but could not remember the color of the life form at the time.

• Researcher Anthony Bragalia first published the video to his UFO website (which I could not find – Ed). Bragalia told The Sun: “The video was given to me by a close friend of Walter Haut’s named Dennis Balthaser for distribution. The video had previously only been viewed by a small circle of researchers and Haut family members. Given all the new information on UFOs coming out, they felt the time was right to let everyone see it.” “The confessional video helps to confirm the extraterrestrial nature of the Roswell crash.”

He said the body was “pretty well beaten up” but could not remember the colour of the life form at the time of the recording.

Researcher Anthony Bragalia first published the video to his UFO site after the Pentagon released documents confirming the existence of UFO’s.

Mr Bragalia told The Sun: “The video was given to me by a close friend of Walter Haut’s named Dennis Balthaser for distribution.

UFO ‘Paralyzes’ Weapons and Electronic Systems of Iranian Military Jets That Tried Shooting at It

Article by Arjun Walia                                                      May 18, 2021                                                     (collective-evolution.com)

• Mainstream UFO disclosure continues to accelerate at a tremendous pace. The US Navy has released multiple videos and pictures of unknown objects, and Navy personnel have given their testimony. The truth is, this is nothing new. Its been happening for decades and thousands of encounters have been well documented. One of the common themes with regards to UFOs behavior is that, most of the time, they seem to perform evasive maneuvers to avoid our own aircraft. Another is that critical electronic equipment in military jets shut down when in close proximity to these objects. Even nuclear missile facilities, such as Malmstrom Air Force Base in March of 1967, have been shut down when a UFO was seen overhead.

• In 1976, residents of Tehran, Iran and air traffic control noticed in the sky “an intensely bright object that was not supposed to be there.” The Iranian Air Force dispatched two F-4 fighter jets to check out the object. The United States, an ally of Iran at the time, took this encounter very seriously. An incident report was sent to multiple national security officials along with President Gerald R. Ford, CIA Director George Bush, and National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger.

• Both of the Iranian F-4 interceptor pilots reported seeing the object visually, and it was tracked on their airborne radar. At a distance of twenty-five miles from the object, both planes experienced critical instrumentation and electronics failure. In an excerpt from the Iranian military report: “Iranian Air Force Jets and a UFO…played “cat and mouse”…appearing on radar and “paralyzing” their weapons and electronic systems when the jets attempted to open fire on it….As the F-4 approached a range of 25 nautical miles it lost all instrumentation and communications. When the F-4 turned away from the objects and apparently was no longer a threat to it, the aircraft regained all instrumentation and communications.”

• The report continues: “Another brightly lighted object came out of the original object. The second object headed straight toward the F4.” After detaching from the bigger object, the second object turned inside the arc of the F-4 itself, and then regained the original object. This incident apparently lasted for several hours.

• Objects splitting into two, traveling at speeds no man made aircraft can, performing maneuvers that no known aircraft can, is again, nothing new. This type of “splitting in two” was also observed in an incident occurring near Aguadilla, Puerto Rico airport in April 2013 (see previous ExoArticle here). The incident was filmed and team of analysts working with the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, a private group of scientists, military analysts, and investigators, produced a report analyzing the incident.

• What is most interesting about the Iran incident is that the UFOs seem to know when the jets were attempting to fire on them and were able to prevent it. Is this suggestive of some type of precognition?

• It is concerning that we would attempt to fire upon an object that doesn’t seem to pose a threat. There is evidence suggesting that governments of the world have been quite interested in capturing some of these objects and have standing orders to shoot them down. Some have indeed been successful.

• It is no secret that governments and mainstream media are losing trust among a large portion of their citizenry due to perceived deception with regards to geopolitical issues. Should we be so naive as to believe that these government officials will give us an accurate depiction of what they have discovered about the UFO phenomenon? If we want to learn more about this reality, it will likely require a citizen-based initiative and study of the phenomenon – one that is independent of any government organizations. This has already been happening around the world for quite some time.

 

Mainstream UFO disclosure continues to accelerate at a tremendous pace. The U.S. Navy has released multiple videos and pictures of unknown objects (as well as testimony from the personnel involved) performing maneuvers and travelling at speeds that no known man-made piece of machinery is capable of doing. The latest footage comes from the USS Omaha. It shows a spherical object that mysteriously disappeared into the ocean. The truth is, military encounters with these objects is nothing new, in fact it’s been happening for decades and the phenomenon has been well documented. There are thousands of encounters to choose from that provide a description of such events: the testimony of the personnel involved, radar tracking information, and in some cases, photographs and video of the object.

There are many common themes and consistencies with regards to the behaviour of these objects that seems to be quite evident based on the information and the number of examples that have made their way into the public domain. One of them is the fact that these objects, most of the time, seem to perform evasive maneuvers to avoid our own aircraft. Another is the fact that critical electronic equipment in military jets seems to shut down when in close proximity to these objects. This is well documented, and it doesn’t just occur with military jets but it’s something that’s happened at nuclear missile facilities.

At Malmstrom Air Force Base in March of 1967, a base that was responsible for a large amount of nuclear weapons, multiple military witnesses there saw a red, glowing UFO hovering just outside the front gate. After that happened all of the nuclear missiles shut down and went completely dead. This is not an isolated incident and there are multiple examples.

A great example of an air encounter where this happened comes from an incident that took place in 1976. Residents of Tehran, Iran noticed a big bright object in the sky. The airport traffic controller also noticed, “it was an intensely bright object that was not supposed to be there.” The Iranian Air Force was contacted (at the time they were a close ally of the United States, under the rule of the Shah), and they dispatched two F-4 fighter jets to check out the object. The United States took this encounter very seriously, a report of what happened was sent to multiple national security officials and U.S. President Gerald R. Ford, CIA Director George Bush, and National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger, among others.

Both of the F-4 interceptor pilots reported seeing the object visually, it was also tracked on their airborne radar. Both planes experienced critical instrumentation and electronics go offline at a distance of twenty-five miles from the object. Here is an excerpt from the report: “Iranian Air Force Jets and a UFO which played “cat and mouse” with them, appearing on radar and “paralyzing” their weapons and electronic systems when the jets attempted to open fire on it….As the F-4 approached a range of 25 nautical miles it lost all instrumentation and communications. When the F-4 turned away from the objects and apparently was no longer a threat to it, the aircraft regained all instrumentation and communications. Another brightly lighted object came out of the original object. The second object headed straight toward the F4.”

Demi Lovato to Host UFO Investigation Television Series

Article by Joe Otterson                                                  May 11, 2021                                                          (variety.com)

NBCUniversal has announced that the Peacock channel has ordered four episodes of a show entitled: “Unidentified with Demi Lovato”, focusing on the UFO phenomenon. The unscripted series will feature the pop music superstar and actress along with her sister Dallas, and Lovato’s best friend and ‘UFO skeptic’ Matthew. The trio will attempt to uncover the truth about UFOs while consulting leading experts, investigating eyewitness encounters, uncovering secret government reports, and conducting tests at known UFO hot spots.

• Lovato will also serve as executive producer for ‘Unidentified’, along with producers SB Projects and GoodStory Entertainment. This is in addition to another show ordered by NBCUniversal entitled “Hungry,” in which Lovato will also star and executive produce. In the show, friends who belong to a food issues group help each other as they look for love, success and the perfect thing in the fridge that’s going to make it all better.

• Lovato got her start in acting in the Disney Channel original film “Camp Rock” and its sequels, has appeared in multiple episodes of the “Will & Grace” revival, “Grey’s Anatomy”, “From Dusk Til Dawn: The Series”, and “Glee”. She also starred in the docuseries “Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil,” released earlier this year where she delved into her near-fatal drug overdose.

Demi Lovato will find out if the truth is out there in a new limited unscripted series about UFOs that has been ordered at Peacock.

In “Unidentified with Demi Lovato,” the music superstar and actress, her skeptical best friend Matthew, and her sister Dallas attempt to help uncover the truth about the UFO phenomena. While consulting with leading experts, the trio will investigate recent eyewitness encounters, uncover secret government reports, and conduct tests at known UFO hot spots.

Peacock has given the show a four-episode order. Lovato will executive produce in addition to starring. Scooter Braun, Scott Manson and Allison Kaye will executive produce for SB Projects. JD Roth, Adam Greener and Sara Hansemann will executive produce for GoodStory Entertainment. Andrew Nock also executive produces. The series is produced by GoodStory Entertainment in association with SB Projects.

“Unidentified” is the latest television project that Lovato has set up at NBCUniversal. It was announced in April that NBC had given out a pilot order to the comedy “Hungry,” in which Lovato will star and executive produce. In the show, friends who belong to a food issues group help each other as they look for love, success and the perfect thing in the fridge that’s going to make it all better.

Lovato has multiple gold and platinum singles to her name, including the title track of her hit album “Tell Me You Love Me.” She got her start in acting in the Disney Channel original film “Camp Rock” and its sequels. She also appeared in multiple episodes of the “Will & Grace” revival as well as on shows like “Grey’s Anatomy,” “From Dusk Til Dawn: The Series,” and “Glee.”

Former Delta Force Operator Shares Area 51 UFO Encounter

Article by Claire Reid                                                  May 14, 2021                                                           (ladbible.com)

• Dr. Dale Comstock (pictured above) spent ten years as a member of Delta Force and often tells his stories on Tommy’s PodCast. One story involves Area 51, the CIA/Air Force Base in (and under) the Nevada desert. While Comstock says that he’s never actually been inside Area 51, he has seen “some weird stuff going on out there”.

• “I saw something one night that was really bizarre,” begins Comstock. “I was in a military vehicle in the…flat desert, except there was one, like, butte (rock formation) in front of us. Just one in the whole damn desert.” “[T]hey told us we had to wear these radiometers – so we had these things on and we were told to stay out of any area that has a fence around it, because that’s where they load the nuke for testing.”

• “We’re driving at night, night vision goggles, we somehow drove through into one of these pits (in front of the butte). I don’t know if the barbed wire was broken or what, but we stopped and all the dust settles and we’re like, ‘Oh shit, we’re in one of these pits.’ I’m sitting there and I look at the butte and on the back side of the butte I see this light, like super bright light, go up. It’s going up and it’s just kind of hovering. And I’m like, ‘Holy shit, what is that?’ It wasn’t a helicopter because we were close enough we’d have heard it. It came up and was bubbling around.”

• “We…drove around the backside to try and see what it was – the butte was the same all the way around, there was nothing there. It just popped up behind it and as we drove around it, it was gone,” said Comstock. ”I can’t even explain what that was. It was not a flying machine that any human being has made for sure, but it was a bright light.”

• Comstock then added that UFOs are “100 percent out there”.

 

A former Delta Force Operator has shared his unusual UFO encounter while working

                     Area 51 in Nevada

out in the desert at a nuclear facility.

Dr. Dale Comstock, who spent 10 years in the Delta Force, spoke on Tommy’s PodCast, where he opened up about his extra-terrestrial encounter.

After admitting that he hadn’t actually been inside Area 51 but had been ‘all around it’, he claimed there ‘is some weird stuff going on out there’.

      Dale Comstock

He added: “I saw something one night that was really bizarre.

“And I just had no explanation for it – there is none.

“So, I was in a military vehicle in the desert and it was a flat desert, except there was one, like, butte in front of us, just one in the whole damn desert.

“I remember they told us we had to wear these radiometers – so we had these things on and we were told to stay out of any area that has a fence around it, because that’s where they load the nuke for testing.

“We’re driving at night, night vision goggles, we somehow drove through into one of these pits.

“I don’t know if the barbed wire was broken or what, but we stopped and all the dust settles and we’re like, ‘Oh s***, we’re in one of these pits.’

“I’m sitting there and I look at the butte and on the back side of the butte I see this light, like super bright light, go up.

Is Deep State silencing Insiders that threaten ‘UFOs are a National Security Threat’ Narrative?

Recently, two insiders who had previously stated that some UFOs are reverse engineered spacecraft developed by major US aerospace corporations were silenced in different ways. This Exopolitics Today Podcast examines the April 6 retraction by former Air Force Electronics Specialist, Mike Turber, of his original testimony asserting the 2004 Tic Tac Incident involved classified Air Force craft being tested against the Navy’s USS Nimitz battle group.

One week later on April 13, Mark McCandlish, widely known for his 2001 UFO Disclosure Project testimony about three Alien Reproduction Vehicles seen in 1988 at Edwards Air Force Base was found dead from a shot gun blast to the head.

The podcast examines these two separate incidents in light of the coming June 2021 Intelligence Community UAP report to the US Senate Intelligence Committee, and whether there’s a connection given they each threatened the emerging ‘UFOs are a national security threat’ narrative that is being promoted by the mainstream media.

Ufologist Rudnyk Says ETs Are Not Ready to Make Contact With Humans

Article from Mystery Wire                                          May 10, 2021                                             (wgno.com)


• Adrian Rudnyk has earned advanced degrees in music and philosophy, plays the violin professionally, and has researched the UFO phenomenon since the 1980s. He and other members of his family have even reported ‘close encounter’ experiences. In March, George Knapp called Rudnyk’s new book, The Assessment, “original and brilliant”.

• In his new book, Rudnyk analyzed the question: ‘why haven’t extraterrestrial civilizations announce their presence to us here on Earth?’ from a philosophical perspective. Would make sense for aliens to make direct contact with humanity? Rudnyk’s conclusion is that humans have made it abundantly clear that our civilization is not yet advanced enough to join a galactic community, and that an advanced species would have good reasons to avoid making direct contact with Earth humans, at least for now.

 

If extraterrestrials are real and are present on earth, why haven’t they landed on

               Adrian Rudnyk

the white house lawn or in front of the United Nations? Why haven’t they made an unequivocal demonstration as a way to announce their presence?

Even for the most committed UFO researchers don’t have a good answer for these questions. They believe in an alien presence and believe these alleged visitors have appeared in our skies for centuries, but the sightings are often brief and alleged interactions are deemed not credible by the scientific community.

Philosopher Adrian Rudnyk has looked at the E.T. question from a different perspective.  Using philosophical methodologies, he has analyzed what assumptions we can make about extraterrestrial intelligence and has asked whether it would make sense for an alien civilization to make direct contact with humanity.

His conclusion is that an advanced species would have good reasons to avoid making direct contact, at least for now.

Rudnyk believes humans have made it abundantly clear that our civilization is not advanced enough to join a galactic community. The conclusions from his years-in-the-making thought experiment are carefully explained in a new publication called “The Assessment.”

Rudnyk earned advanced degrees in music and philosophy, played violin professionally for many years, and has been researching UFOs since the 1980s. He and other members of his family have reported close encounter experiences dating back several years.

British Military Has UFO Videos and Must Release Them, Says Nick Pope

Article by Henry Holloway                                                  May 13, 2021                                           (thesun.co.uk)


• Nick Pope, who turned a brief stint working at the UFO desk of the British Ministry of Defense in the 1990s into a career as a UFO ‘expert’, says he “knows for a fact” that the MoD has footage of UFOs filmed from RAF fighter jet gun cameras from the 1950s and 60s. He has no doubt that the British military has in its possession UFO footage and photos similar to what has been officially released by the US military. Pope is calling upon the British to release what they have, although the official British line is that their UFO videos have been lost and destroyed.

• Pope said that he would be “staggered” if there is not more recent footage in the hands of MoD brass given the stunning videos released by the US from the last two decades. “We have exactly the same kit as the US government, so I am sure there is a treasure trove of official photos and videos of UFOs… sitting there in MoD headquarters.”

• During his own time working with the MoD in the 1990s, military pilots would tell him about their own up close and personal encounters with UFOs. But they typically would not file a report due to fears of ridicule or “psychological evaluation”. MoD officials tells the The Sun Online that its UFO program was terminated in 2009. It is suspected that highly classified investigations continue behind closed doors, and that the UK continues to liaise with the US on UFOs.

• A potentially bombshell report on UFOs is due to be released in June after investigations by the Director of National Intelligence into a string of unexplained encounters with US warships and fighter planes. Pentagon officials have taken the unprecedented step of confirming videos and pictures of UFOs are real and admitting they don’t know what they really are.

• Pope says what is happening in the US right now is a “big deal” – and not to be underestimated. The UK Government was due to release a potentially bombshell UFO dossier in January due to the 30-year rule of declassification. But this has now been blocked until 2072.

• Pope thinks that a rally of support for the UFO disclosure in the UK could help the government publicly treat it as the “national security issue that it is”, but added the MoD will likely have to be dragged into it “kicking and screaming”. It appears there has been some information sharing. US officials are certainly aware of infamous UK incidents such as Rendlesham Forest UFO and the “Calvine UFO Photograph” from 1990.

• “Nowadays if people see something strange, they’ll report to a variety of different places, including military bases, airports, police stations, the media, and civilian UFO groups and researchers,” Pope said. But this results in everyone getting “a few pieces of the puzzle, but nobody’s seeing the whole picture”.

• “I call on the MoD to reopen the real-life X-Files and treat the issue in the way that it should be treated – as a serious defense and national security issue,” says Pope. UFO investigations may be ongoing behind closed doors, but the UK needs to be more transparent as officials are being in the US.

• UFO incidents in the UK are looked at in the same category as flight safety incidents and near misses, referring to sightings in coded language such as “‘unusual aircraft”, “unconventional helicopter” and “unidentified drone” – perhaps in an effort to dodge any British Freedom of Information Act requests.

• “It can’t have escaped the MoD’s notice that over the last three years the US government position on UFOs has fundamentally changed,” says Pope. The US “went from denying any interest and involvement, to a situation where they released videos of UFOs taken from US Navy jets, issued instructions to military pilots telling them what to do if they encounter a UFO, and had classified briefings in Congress.” “If the US thinks this is a serious defense and national security issue – and their actions clearly show they do – the UK should too.” “So either the MoD is engaged, and the truth hasn’t come out, or they’re not. Either scenario is scandalous.”

• Competing theories on the strange videos continue to rage. Some claim the videos capture never-before-seen military aircraft or drones, while others claim it shows otherworldly craft possibly piloted by aliens. The usual skeptics remain dismissive, blaming camera tricks, natural phenomena or even outright hoaxes.

• The US DoD was forced to admit that reports claiming their investigations were stopped in 2012 were not true. In 2019, the Pentagon admitted it launched investigations into UFO sightings and will continue to probe such reports in a bid to keep the nation safe. Luis Elizondo, who headed up the Pentagon’s UFO program said that ‘UFOs are here – and we cannot stop them’.

UFO videos just like the infamous US “Tic-Tac” clip are likely being held by the British military, an ex-MoD investigator has said.

Nick Pope, one of the world’s leading experts on UFOs, has called on the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to release information about its own unexplained encounters.

Mr Pope, who worked to investigate UFOs for the MoD in the 90s and worked in Whitehall until 2004, told The Sun Online now it is time for Britain to come clean about its role in investigating UFOs.

Britain was due to release a bombshell UFO dossier in January but this has now been blocked until 2072.

                       Nick Pope

He called for the release of any footage and photos being held by the MoD, with him being in no doubt Royal Navy and Royal Air Force have likely filmed clips similar to what are now being officially released by the US.

The investigator told The Sun Online he knows for a fact the MoD had footage of UFOs filmed from RAF fighter jet gun cameras on 8mm film from the 50s and 60s.

However, the official line is that the videos have been lost and destroyed.

But he said he would be “staggered” if there is not more recent footage in the hands of military brass given the stunning videos released by the US have occurred in the last two decades.

“We have exactly the same kit as the US government, so I am sure there is a treasure trove of official photos and videos of UFOs or UAPs – whatever they are – sitting there in MoD headquarters,” Mr Pope told The Sun Online.

During his own time working with the MoD, military pilots would tell him about “stunning” up close and personal encounters with UFOs.

Senator Marco Rubio is Taking UFOs Seriously

Article by Adrian Carrasquillo                                               May 11, 2021                                           (newsweek.com)

• UFOs have long been dismissed and relegated to movies and message boards. But after the release of footage of high-profile U.S. military encounters with aircraft of unknown origin, and confirmed as authentic by the Pentagon, Senator Marco Rubio wants to get past the UFO jokes and focus on the seemingly vulnerable national security of the United States. “We cannot allow the stigma of UFO’s to keep us from seriously investigating these encounters,” Rubio told Newsweek.

• Rubio has in many ways taken the baton from former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who previously led the way in pressuring Congress to try to understand what was going on. In June 2020, Rubio added language to the 2021 Intelligence Authorization Act requesting that the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense create a report with “a detailed analysis of unidentified aerial phenomena data and intelligence reporting.” Two months later, the Pentagon created a UAP Task Force to investigate the encounters by U.S. military aircraft. The intelligence report has a soft deadline of June 1st.

• Rubio sees the UFO topic as a national security issue. “People think about space aliens,” Rubio told TMZ in March. “[T]here’s stuff flying over military installations and no one knows what it is, and it isn’t ours.” “[M]aybe it’s a foreign adversary that has made a technological leap,” Rubio elaborated to Fox News.

• Rubio is aware that stigma attached to UFOs is an impediment to reaching a hard conclusion about what the government is dealing with. This stigma goes back decades to a time when if a Navy pilot reported a sighting, he or she would have been sent to the flight surgeon “to check out your head and make sure you’re not seeing things,” said Rubio earlier this year.

• But today, Rubio takes the UFO matter quite seriously, and will take on a question about extraterrestrials head-on. “Well, if they made it all the way here they probably are, yeah, they’re probably more advanced,” he said. “If they can get here and we can’t get there that tells you they’re probably more advanced.”

• And should Biden and the U.S. government’s approach to extraterrestrials be friendly? Rubio laughed, saying only that it would be one heck of a way to top the last year and a half.

Senator Marco Rubio believes the truth is out there and he wants to

get past the UFO jokes to make sure the national security of the United States isn’t threatened in any way, he told Newsweek.

“Dozens of men and women we have entrusted with the defense of our country are telling us about encounters with unidentified aircraft with capabilities we do not fully understand,” Rubio said in exclusive comments ahead of a 60 Minutes interview that will air this weekend. “We cannot allow the stigma of UFO’s to keep us from seriously investigating these encounters.”

UFOs, long dismissed and relegated to movies about aliens visiting earth and breathless message board posts, have begun to shed the farce label in recent years after the release of footage of high-profile U.S. military encounters with aircraft of unknown origin.

The 2019 leaked photos and video taken by U.S. Navy personnel of one such encounter, which showed triangle shaped objects flying through the air, were confirmed as authentic by the Defense Department in April of this year. Even the name of the objects — the branding if you will — has been revamped when discussed by the U.S. government, getting away from UFOs, to unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs.

Rubio has in many ways taken the baton from former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who previously led the way in pressuring Congress to try to understand what was going on.

Discovering Alien Tech from UFOs Can Be a ‘Shortcut to the Future’

Article by Joshua Smith                                          May 10, 2021                                                      (dailystar.co.uk)

• In October 2017, a mysterious cigar-shaped “asteroid” estimated to be 200m in diameter was spotted by the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 telescope. This first interstellar object ever found in the Milky Way, dubbed ‘Oumuamua’, was observed to be spinning and accelerating at a phenomenal speed, known as “non-gravitational acceleration”, through our solar system. Mainstream scientists determined that Oumuamua wa just a new kind of comet, propelled by a mechanism we simply don’t understand yet.

• But Harvard University Professor Avi Loeb (pictured above) insists that the most rational explanation for it is that it’s alien. Loeb has deduced the rock is actually a “sail” being propelled through space by photons. This is a type of technology that must be constructed by someone.

• Speaking on the Big Brains podcast (see video below), the professor said that humans could stand to gain an awful lot by learning about other civilizations through “space archaeology”. Loeb says, “Oumuamua could be a ‘technological relic’ that’s billions of years old and that just as we would study the Mayans or other civilizations from Earth’s past, we should do the same for whoever or whatever sent ‘Oumuamua through our solar system.”

• “So communicating with them might be an unlikely occurrence, but if you are adapting the approach of space archeology, you don’t care about that because you’re looking for relics they left behind,” said Loeb. “Of course, they would indicate that civilizations (exist or existed), but you can try and figure out why they died and perhaps avoid a similar fate for ourselves. So it could be a lesson in history for us, it would keep us modest and better equipped for the future.”

• “The other thing that could happen is if you find technologies that are far more advanced than ours, we can import them to Earth. If we see an unusual object, we can in principle land on it, read off the label, ‘‘Made on planet X,’’ so we will know its origin, but also perhaps, copy that technology to Earth,” Loeb continues. “And, it might be a way of short-cutting into our future because it would take us many years to develop the same technology, so there are lots of benefits that I can imagine for humanity from just finding technological relics in space.”

• Professor Loeb has previously speculated that our solar system could be filled with quadrillion alien spaceships of which we have no knowledge. And in a recent interview with The Economist, Professor Loeb said that the cigar-shaped object may have been a message from a distant, more technologically advanced civilization.

[Editor’s Note]  Professor Loeb is absolutely right about the logic of conducting ‘space archaeology’ throughout our solar system. People like David Wilcock have revealed that our solar system is filled with relics from ancient visitors throughout history. In fact, Corey Goode reported that as Oumuamua was traversing the solar system in 2017, an archaeological team from a secret space program did dock with the tumbling cigar-shaped craft, entered it, and inventoried its contents. Goode said that the errant craft had already been scoured by others, but they were able to retrieve some artefacts that were hidden.

A top scientist has said earth can “shortcut into its future” by

University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 telescope

stealing alien technology off of a mysterious cigar-shaped asteroid which he believes may have been a UFO from a distant galaxy.

‘Oumuamua, estimated to be 200m in diameter, is the first interstellar object ever found in the Milky Way and was first spotted in October 2017 by the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 telescope while it was looking for comets and asteroids near the Earth.

The long, cigar-shaped rock was observed by experts to be spinning and accelerating at a phenomenal speed, known as “non-gravitational acceleration,” with some scientists baffled as to why.

Most experts agree ‘Oumuamua is probably a new kind of comet propelled by a mechanism we simply don’t understand yet.

But Professor Avi Loeb, who runs the Department of Astronomy at Harvard University, insists the most rational explanation for it is that it’s alien.

Prof Loeb has deduced the rock is a “sail” being propelled through space by photons, and sails (used by scientists on Earth) have to be constructed as they are not naturally occurring.

British Grandmother Says She’s Been Abducted by Aliens 50 Times

Article by Lucy Notarantonio                                    May 8, 2021                                      (dailystar.co.uk)

• Paula Smith, a 50 year-old grandmother from Bradford in northeast England, says that she has experienced 52 alien abductions and has evidence to prove it. Her first close encounter was when she was a little girl and they have continued ever since. She showed photo images of bruises left on her body by aliens following an abduction. Paula also claims to have returned home from an abduction experience with a triangular bruise on her face and fingerprint marks on her arm.

• “I’ve been taken from my bedroom window and my bed,” says Paula. “According to my family, I had been missing for four hours, but I have no recollection of what actually went on.” Paula has drawn a picture of the silver type of alien that routinely abducts her. “There’s no warning and I can’t sense anything is going to happen. It just happens. All I can do is carry on as normal, otherwise I’d go crazy.”

• In one of Paula’s abductions, “I was on a (UFO) craft and the aliens showed me technology we didn’t have,” said Paula. “They showed me a slideshow of pristine scenery which had a beautiful river which then turned black. The blue sky went blood red and I soon realized it was a movie of the Earth being destroyed through man’s greed.”

• “The first time I saw a craft was 1982,” says Paula. “I was in the woods and it was completely silent. The pathway became narrower and I could hear my heart thumping. I recall looking into the darkness whilst my eyes adjusted. I could see what looked a boomerang shape with an extra arm on it. Each arm had a light at the end. I recall three of the lights, one was blue, the other green, but I cannot recall the color of the other light. I could describe it better as a propeller blade from an aeroplane. It was about 30ft tall and 30ft wide. It was black with a green and blue light on the edges. It was turning clockwise at 1mph in complete silence.”

• “I remember trying to run but it felt like the ground was quicksand, like sinking into the ground, then everything went black. Paula added, “I didn’t tell anybody because I know people would think I am crazy. But there are thousands, if not millions of people like me out there who have similar experiences.”

 

                              Paula Smith

A gran from Bradford says she’s been abducted by aliens more than 50 times – and she has the evidence to prove it.

Paula Smith claims her first close encounter was when she was a little girl. She says they have continued ever since.

The 50-year-old shared images of bruises she says were left on her body by aliens following one abduction. She has also drawn a picture of a silver alien to show what they look like.

Paula said: “I have experienced 52 paranormal incidents. There’s no warning and I can’t sense anything is going to happen. It just happens. All I can do is carry on as normal, otherwise I’d go crazy.”

Pentagon Officials Preparing to Launch ‘Space National Guard’

Article by Mark Moore                                                May 5, 2021                                              (nypost.com)

• Gen. Daniel Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau, told members of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee on Tuesday that he, acting Air Force Secretary John Roth and Space Force’s commander General Jay Raymond are expected to brief Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on creating a Space National Guard. Hokanson said that the Space National Guard was part of a “two-component construct” that would also include active-duty and Reserve Space Force. The creation of a Space National Guard would come two years after President Trump officially launched the Space Force in 2019.

• “National Guard space units have provided operational, unit-equipped, surge-to-war capability to protect our nation’s vital interests in this contested domain,” he told the Congressional panel. The Air National Guard has space units in Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, New York and Ohio as well as Guam. Hokanson pointed out that National Guard units have been involved with space missions for 25 years, and supply the Space Force with 11 percent of its professionals.

• But some lawmakers questioned the cost of such an endeavor. Committee Chair Betty McCollum (D-Minn.) told Hokanson that she would need to see a cost breakdown, an effort to distribute guard units in all 50 states, and the cross-utilization of existing Air Force facilities. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Defense Department would have to pick up about $100 million in additional costs of transferring Air National Guard and Army National Guard personnel to the Space National Guard.

 

            Gen. John “Jay” Raymond

Pentagon officials are poised to launch a separate Space National Guard — the

second military foray into the realm since former President Donald Trump established the Space Force in 2019, according to a report.

Gen. Daniel Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau, told a House committee on Tuesday that creating a Space National Guard is “among my most pressing concerns,” Politico reported.

“I believe we’re fairly close on that,” Hokanson told members of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee.

He said the Space Force’s commander, Gen. Jay Raymond, and acting Air Force Secretary John Roth back a “two-component construct” that would combine active-duty and Reserve Space Force along with a Space National Guard.

“National Guard space units have provided operational, unit-equipped, surge-to-war capability to protect our nation’s vital interests in this contested domain,” he told the panel in prepared remarks.

New Spaceplane Is About To Make Its First Flight

Article by Bilal Waqar                                               May 8, 2021                                                 (wonderfulengineering.com)

• Sierra Nevada Corp (SNC) won a $2 billion contract from NASA to build the Dream Chaser, a space vehicle that promises to become the first-of-its-kind reusable cargo vessel. the new space plane could make a round-trip journey to International Space Station much faster than Elon Musk’s SpaceX vehicles. In fact, SNC aims to transform the way spaceflights are perceived, and could become the second big space organization, next to NASA. (see 4:01 minute video of the Dream Chaser’s Concept of Operations below)

• The Dream Chaser is currently able to travel in near space autonomously. SNC is planning a manned mission in 2022. The space plane will be carried into space on a United Launch Alliance rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Dream Chaser will land on the space center’s landing strip which the Space Shuttles used. This means that the Kennedy facility is not only performing as a NASA facility, it’s also becoming a multi-user commercial spaceport. The Sierra Nevada Corp’s Dream Chaser operation at Kennedy will include the hiring of dozens of employees and may even require the construction of new buildings to cater to engineering necessities.

 

SpaceX capsules designated for ventures to International Space Station might face competition after the announcement of a new spaceplane set to take its first flight. It is claimed that the new spaceplane could make a roundtrip to ISS much faster than SpaceX vehicles.

The new spaceplane is built and operated by Sierra Nevada Corp. in Nevada and aims to transform the way spaceflights are perceived. The new spacecraft is called the Dream Chaser and as announced can go on the space venture with autonomous capabilities. It will be lifted through ULA (United Launch Alliance) rocket from the Kennedy Space Center to execute flights to the ISS.

The new Dream Chaser by the Sierra Nevada Corp. will land on the space center’s landing strip which previously has been used for landing space shuttles. Former astronaut, Janet Kavandi said that the first of the Dream Chasers is getting ready for being delivered to Kennedy Space Center and will land on the strip somewhere around spring 2022.

“When we first launch next year, 2022, at the end of that mission, we plan to come back and land here at this very runway,” said Kavandi.

Could Advanced Intelligent Life Exist Right Here on Earth?

Article by Arjun Walia                                           May 8, 2021                                               (collective-evolution.com)

• UFOs have become a big topic of discussion within the mainstream. These objects perform maneuvers and travel at speeds that no known machinery can. They truly defy our understanding of aerodynamics and, in some cases, physics. Now the question is: who is the manufacturer and operator of these UFOs?

• There is testimonial evidence that these objects are not human made. The former director of the Pentagon’s UFO program, Lue Elizondo, recently gave an interview to the NY Post saying that he had a meeting with a very senior Department of Defense official who agreed that these UFO craft were not of human origin. Former Air Force Colonel Ross Dedrickson also claimed to have information that these objects were not human made, and from what he knew, the beings are benevolent and concerned about the well-being of our planet. Beyond these testimonies are documented cases of sightings and “contact experiences” that point to a non-human origin.

• The ancient Greek philosopher Plato distinguished between the animals and men who reside on the Earth and the so-called ‘elementals’ that dwell in the ‘ether’ (or ‘aether’) of the Earth. Humans can only see within a tiny frequency of the entire visible light spectrum. The truth is, much of our “reality” isn’t even perceivable to our human senses. Quantum mechanics and post-material science has shown us that the “invisible” parts make up the vast majority of ‘space’. Even Rene Descartes proposed the theory that what we perceive as space is completely filled with matter in various states.

• Who is to say that life does not dwell in these ethereal realms? Stories can be found in ancient Buddhist and Vedic philosophy, along with oral stories passed down from Native cultures throughout the world, which refer to ‘magical’ and ‘mythical’ lands that co-exist alongside our reality. The German-Swiss physician and alchemist Paracelsus wrote: “Man lives in the exterior elements and the Elementals live in the interior elements. The latter have dwellings and clothing, manners and customs, languages and governments of their own…”

• What’s interesting is that these mysterious UFOs are commonly observed “taking off” at tremendous speeds and entering or exiting our oceans. Sometimes when they “fly away” they seem to ‘dematerialize’. It truly calls into question what we think we know about the nature of reality. And chances are, not all objects originate from the same source.

• It is disconcerting that most people do not see UFOs as legitimate reality unless and until it is presented as such by the mainstream media. Footage had to be verified by the Pentagon before people would deem them as real. This highlights just how reliant humanity has become on these media sources for information. But it is difficult to trust mainstream media, or government for that matter, to get an accurate depiction of what’s really happening. Perhaps the UFO phenomenon is one that requires a citizens’ initiative as well, to get an honest depiction of UFOs.

• One thing to look out for is the US government’s suspicion that these objects are Russian or Chinese in origin. This narrative is meant to heighten the national security state, for no legitimate reason, while simultaneously controlling the extraterrestrial hypothesis. The government paints UFOs as a threat, even though the vast majority of the time these objects perform evasive maneuvers to avoid our own aircraft. We always seem to be the ones chasing them.

 

          Ethereal beings on this earth?

Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), now commonly known as Unidentified Aerial

                                 Plato

Phenomenon (UAPs) have become a big topic of discussion within the mainstream as of late. We are talking about objects that have been photographed, videotaped, tracked on radar, and seen by high ranking military personnel as well as civilians on the ground and in air-craft. These objects perform maneuvers and travel at speeds no known man made piece of machinery can. They truly defy our understanding of aerodynamics and, and in some case

                             Paracelsus

s, physics.

The next discussion to arise is, are those manning these craft human or something else?

Based on my years of research, just as there was strong evidence for the existence of these objects decades ago when they were deemed a conspiracy theory, there is strong evidence now, and in my opinion, there is evidence these objects are not

                Rene Descartes

human made.

As far as credible sources that support this idea, Colonel Robert Friend, in his very last interview before his death, who was a director of Project Blue Book from 1958-1962, suggested that the U.S. Air Force knew what these objects were even at that time. The former director of the Pentagon’s UFO program, Lue Elizondo, recently gave an interview to the NY Post saying that he had a meeting with a very senior Department

  Arjun Walia, author and philosopher

of Defense official who mentioned he knew the craft were not of human origin as well. Former Air Force Colonel Ross Dedrickson also claimed to have information that these objects were not human made, and from what he knew, the beings are benevolent, concerned about the well being of our planet.

I recognize not all people will consider these sources ‘credible evidence.’

Beyond these testimonies are things like documented cases of sightings or “contact” experiences. According to these cases, people report both benevolent and malevolent experiences, often linked to the UFO phenomenon.

So, if they are not human, what are they? The obvious truth is, we don’t know, but there’s no harm in speculating.

UFOs: Unending False Official-Narratives

by Rich Scheck

Government lies never seem to stop! Virtually all official narratives linked to important historical events like the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, the assassination of JFK and 9/11 are drenched in untruth with false claims, overt propaganda or outright lies.

At the top of this list of spun stories is the topic of UFOs where the entire conversation entails a psychological operation where decent citizens are subjected to an unending stream of misinformation that makes the Santa Claus legend and tales of the Easter Bunny seem plausible by comparison.

The recent deluge of MSM coverage of the alleged “UFO Threat” follows decades of dismissal of claims by credible Ufologists that these mysterious objects are worthy of attention. The best explanation for legitimizing their existence is to justify a massive increase in defense spending by the usual suspects in the MIC.

With the Covid fear campaign losing steam and traditional efforts to demonize Russia and China barely impacting an already credulous polity, something dramatic needs to be cooked up by the Global Elite to reset the public’s panic button.

A Project BlueBeam scenario has long been in the works, perhaps to be deployed soon as a last resort by the Davos Desperados to hammer home their full spectrum dominance plan of total control over humanity.

Will it work? Perhaps! The latest wrinkle for those paying attention involves the ubiquitous and nimble (former?) intelligence operative Luis Elizondo, who has jumped from being a government insider linked to John Brennan, Jim Clapper and the DOD’s ATTIP project (supposedly tracking UFOs), to his role as a leading spokesman for the failed TTSA effort to privatize UFO Disclosure to his new persona as a disgruntled whistleblower out to expose official duplicity.

This would seem to make him the Michael Cohen of Disclosure since Lue has been the most prominent face of the official threat assertions that he is now supposedly attempting to refute.

This confessional posture has lured the unlikely support of famed civil rights attornery, Daniel Sheehan, who is simultaneously the lawyer for Steven Greer’s Disclosure Project which boldly proclaims there is no ET threat!

It will be intriguing to watch Sheehan to see if he successfully navigates this highwire act by Elizondo to rehabilitate his credibility and convince skeptics like Dark Journalist Daniel Liszt and many others that he deserves to be believed.

Dr. Greer assures us that Danny will disassociate himself from Elizondo if the spook recants on his pledge to tell the full “truth” about ETs, UFOs and other aspects of the Secret Space Program. His position has been put in question after last night’s appearance by Elizondo on the Tucker Carlson Show where he said little that reversed his previous threat claims.

The next act in this drama comes when top Ufologist Richard Dolan interviews Lue as part of a special virtual conference on UFO Secrecy slated to run later today.

With the scheduled release of Senator Rubio’s UAP Task Force report fast approaching, today’s events and those that follow are certain to keep this topic bubbling in the public consciousness for the foreseeable future.

The big question remains: has UFO come to stand for “Unending False Official-Narratives” or will that appellation reclaim its original meaning of Unidentified Flying Objects as the ET Truth Embargo of 75 years since Roswell finally comes to an end?

Former Navy Pilot Recalls Seeing UFOs Daily Off of Virginia Beach

Article by Jessie O’Neill                                              May 16, 2021                                            (foxnews.com)

• On May 16th, former Navy pilot Lt. Ryan Graves told CBS’s Bill Whitaker on “60 Minutes” that he would see UFOs flying in restricted airspace off the coast of Virginia nearly every day for two years beginning in 2019. ”[I]f these were tactical jets from another country that were hanging out up there, it would be a massive issue,” Graves said. “But because it looks slightly different, we’re not willing to actually look at the problem in the face. We’re happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there, watching us every day.” (see a video clip of Graves on ’60 Minutes’ and the full interview below)

• Navy pilots who have seen the UFOs believe they could be a secret US technology, enemy surveillance devices, or something entirely different, said Graves. “This is a difficult one to explain. You have rotation, you have high altitudes. You have propulsion… I don’t know what it is, frankly.” Graves considers the UFOs like ones seen in a Pentagon-confirmed Navy video near San Diego and the ones he’s witnessed off of Virginia Beach a security threat. “I would say…the highest probability is it’s a threat observation program,” Graves said.

• The former head of the Pentagon’s UFO threat identification program Luis Elizondo concurs with Graves. “Imagine a technology that can do 600 to 700 G-forces, that can fly 13,000 miles an hour, that, that can evade radar and can fly through air and water and possibly space, and oh, by the way, has no obvious signs of propulsion, no wings, no control surfaces and yet still can defy the natural effects of Earth’s gravity,” says Elizondo. “That’s precisely what we’re seeing,”.

A former Navy pilot says he witnessed UFOs flying in restricted airspace off the coast of

Virginia nearly every day for two years beginning in 2019.

Former Lt. Ryan Graves told CBS’s “60 Minutes” that the unidentified objects — like ones seen in a Pentagon-confirmed Navy video near San Diego — are a security threat.

The latest firsthand account comes a month ahead of a report by the national intelligence director and secretary of defense on unidentified aerial phenomena, a measure that was including in a COVID-19 relief bill passed in December.

“I am worried, frankly. You know, if these were tactical jets from another country that were hanging out up there, it would be a

massive issue,” Graves said, according to a clip of the “60 Minutes” interview, which is set to air Sunday. “But because it looks

                   UFO seen off of Virginia

slightly different, we’re not willing to actually look at the problem in the face. We’re happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there, watching us every day.”

Seamen who have seen the unidentified objects believe they could be a secret US technology, enemy surveillance devices, or something entirely different, Graves told CBS.

“This is a difficult one to explain. You have rotation, you have high altitudes. You have propulsion, right? I don’t know. I don’t know what it is, frankly,” the lieutenant told correspondent Bill Whitaker as he watched an unclassified video.

Obama Admits UFOs Are Real, But ‘We Don’t Know Exactly What They Are’

Article by Lee Brown                                          May 18, 2021                                            (nypost.com)

• On May 18th, former President Barack Obama was a virtual guest on James Corden’s “The Late Late Show”. In the light-hearted banter with Corden and the show’s bandleader, Reggie Watts, Obama said that his post-presidency life was “pretty darn good” now he has “less stress, less burden” and more time to spend with his wife and young adult daughters. Then Watts asked Obama the truth about aliens. Obama suggested that Watts may himself be an alien. “Do we know what he looks like behind those glasses?” Obama joked.

• “[T]he truth is that when I came into office, I asked (about extraterrestrials),” Obama told the British comedian. “I was like, ‘All right, is there the lab somewhere where we’re keeping the alien specimens and spaceships?” But the answer was ‘No’. The former president laughed off rumors that the US government is hiding alien beings and spacecraft, but stated, “When it comes to aliens, there are some things I just can’t tell you on air.” (see 2:58 minute video of Obama on the show below)

• Obama then conceded that there really are UFO sightings that the government can’t explain. “[W]hat is true — and I’m actually being serious here — is that there’s footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are.” “We can’t explain how they moved, their trajectory … they did not have an easily explainable pattern,” he said of growing reports of UFOs of ‘unidentified aerial phenomenon’ recorded by the Navy.

• “So I think that people still take (UFOs) seriously – trying to investigate and figure out what that is. But I have nothing to report to you today.” Obama wouldn’t elaborate on his own views on what the mysterious objects likely were.

 

Former President Barack Obama has laughed off rumors that the US government has

a secret stash of aliens and their spacecraft — while conceding that there really are UFO sightings that the government can’t explain.

“When it comes to aliens, there are some things I just can’t tell you on air,” the 44th commander-in-chief teased James Corden in a video chat on “The Late Late Show” aired early Tuesday.

“Look, the truth is that when I came into office, I asked,” Obama told the British comedian with a laugh.

“I was like, ‘All right, is there the lab somewhere where we’re keeping the alien specimens and spaceships?’

“They did a little bit of research … and the answer was, ‘No,’” he deadpanned to laughter.

“But what is true — and I’m actually being serious here — is that there’s footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are,” he said of growing reports of unidentified flying objects.

“We can’t explain how they moved, their trajectory … they did not have an easily explainable pattern,” he said of growing reports of sights, many recorded by the Navy.

Military Leaders Provide Insight Into the Re-Established US Space Command

Article by Amanda Miller                                               May 8, 2021                                                 (airforcemag.com)

• On May 7th, several of the newest top officials in the U.S. Space Command appeared during a Space Foundation virtual ‘Symposium365’ talk. The members of Space Command, which was re-established 19 months ago and whose geographic area of responsibility starts 100 kilometers above the surface of the Earth, intentionally come from diverse backgrounds. Only a few come from Space Force – so far.

• Army General James H. Dickinson leads U.S. Space Command from its provisional headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, although the Department of the Air Force may ultimately choose to select Redstone Arsenal, Alabama as U.S. Space Command’s permanent home. Either way, more partner organizations will be “coming to work” over the next 12 to 18 months. “[O]ne of our strongest deterrence capabilities…within the command is that strong allied and partner integration that we have,” said Dickinson, whose background is in missile defense. “So our ability to be able to capture that energy and start bringing those folks into the command itself is very powerful.”

• One way the U.S. Space Command tries to expand the pool of international partners is by inviting countries to take part in the space situational awareness exercise under ‘Global Sentinel’. Ten partners including the U.S. took part in the last Global Sentinel in 2019. Invitations to participate in Global Sentinel serve “as a lead-in to signing space situational awareness agreements with these partner nations,” says Space Force Colonel Devin R. Pepper, deputy director of U.S. Space Command’s Strategy, Plans, and Policy Directorate and garrison commander of soon-to-be Buckley Space Force Base in Colorado. Chile and Poland are the newest partner nation prospects.

• Air Force Maj. Gen. William G. Holt II spent his career as a special operations pilot before becoming U.S. Space Command’s director of operations, training, and force development. He characterized the command’s makeup as an even mix of Air Force, Army and Navy backgrounds, with a “handful of Marines”. Holt credited Space Force Chief of Space of Operations Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond with the level of ‘jointness’ intended “to change the dynamic and really bring in a warfighting … viewpoint from across the force. “[H]aving the different backgrounds as far as the different services, I think, was really critical to [Raymond] bringing me in.”

• The Space Command is looking ahead to when the military will want to operate beyond Earth orbit. “More and more nations are operating in space,” said the U.S. Space Command’s senior enlisted leader, Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sgt. Scott H. Stalker. He cited the United Arab Emirates’ Hope Mars Mission satellite orbiting the red planet as “the first planetary science mission led by an Arab Islamic country.” Stalker, formerly with the DIA and U.S. Cyber Command, acknowledged that, “We are no longer the undisputed leaders in space.”

• U.S. Space Command’s Deputy Director of Intelligence Sean M. Kirkpatrick said, “We’ve got a huge Moon competition going on. We’ve got a Mars competition going on… We are going to have to extend our mission space to the cislunar, lunar, and Martian orbits and regimes at some point in the not-too-distant future.” To gather intelligence in deep space, the US needs to take advantage of space technology that the commercial sector will provide. “The customary five to ten-year time frame for a defense acquisition program would take too long.”

• Army Brig. Gen. Thomas L. James served in Operation Desert Storm in the 1990s when GPS was brand new and unreliable. “The way they operated then— because it was only a partial (communications satellite) constellation — is some of the time, you knew where you were with great precision. Some of the time, you knew that you didn’t know where you were at all based off of the GPS. And some of the time, you thought you might know where you are.” Today, General James is “passionate” about having space itself as a resource.

 

          Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond

Special-ops aviators, a physicist from the intelligence community, and an enlisted Marine with decades of deployments: U.S. Space Command’s military and civilian leaders who spoke May 7 were as likely to come from strictly space backgrounds as not.

Several of the newest combatant command’s top officials appeared during a Space Foundation virtual Symposium365 talk. They indicated that their diverse backgrounds are by design and that few Space Force personnel are yet a part.

    General James H. Dickinson

Some of the day’s insights from inside the command, which was re-established 19 months ago and whose geographic area of responsibility starts 100 kilometers above the surface of the Earth:

More Partners, More Deterrence

      Colonel Devin R. Pepper

Army Gen. James H. Dickinson leads U.S. Space Command from its provisional headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. He said more allied and partner organizations will be “physically coming to work” at Peterson over the next 12 to 18 months and he sees “that energy expanding.”

“When I look at deterrence, one of our strongest deterrence capabilities, or measures, within the command is that strong allied and partner integration that we have,” said Dickinson, whose background is in missile defense. “We are starting to see a lot more allies that want to be … part of the space enterprise, want to work with U.S. Space Command,” he said. “So our ability to be able to capture that energy and start bringing those folks into the command itself is very powerful.”

           Maj. Gen. William G. Holt II

The Department of the Air Force selected Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, as U.S. Space Command’s permanent home pending an environmental review, though the selection is under review.

One way U.S. Space Command tries to expand the pool of international partners is

by inviting countries to take part in the Global Sentinel exercise in space situational awareness started by U.S. Strategic Command, said Space Force Col. Devin R. Pepper, deputy director of U.S. Space Command’s Strategy, Plans, and Policy Directorate and garrison commander of “soon-to-be Buckley Space Force Base” in Colorado. Pepper was nominated to be a brigadier general in January.

Ten partners including the U.S. took part in the last Global Sentinel in 2019. Pepper mentioned Chile and Poland as prospects. He said the invitations serve “as a lead-in to

Warfighting Dynamic

Air Force Maj. Gen. William G. Holt II said he “didn’t have much experience with the space domain” before becoming U.S. Space Command’s director of operations, training, and force

development.

A career special operations pilot, he characterized the command’s makeup as “actually very joint” and “kind of an even mix of Air Force background, Army background, Navy background—we have a handful of Marines, including our director of our cyber operations is a Marine one-star—and then, actually, not a whole lot of Space Force officers at this point in time,” Holt said.
Holt credited Space Force Chief of Space of Operations Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond with the level of jointness intended “to change the dynamic and really bring in a warfighting … viewpoint from across the force.

“I’m not saying that the old Air Force Space Command wasn’t warfighters, because they absolutely did that every day—they supported us; they deployed downrange—but having the different backgrounds as far as the different services, I think, was really critical to [Raymond] bringing me in.”

Release of UFO Truth Could Be the ‘Most Profound Moment in History’ Says Steve Bassett

Article by Patrick Knox                                                  May 10, 2021                                                 (thesun.co.uk)

• In 2017 we learned the revelation that the Pentagon was researching a series of unexplained intrusions into military airspace, including mysterious UFOs captured on video stalking US Navy ships. Defense officials confirmed the authenticity of those sightings. This led to lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee to give the military and government intelligence agencies a 180-day deadline to produce a declassified report on these UFOs, due in June.

• Steve Bassett (pictured above), the executive director of Paradigm Research Group and UFO lobbyist, has tirelessly worked to end the embargo of UFO information held by intelligence agencies since the Roswell UFO crash and cover-up in 1947. Bassett thinks we are now on the verge of UFO disclosure. He says that there is a group within the intelligence elite that wants to tell the truth about both UFOs and extraterrestrial encounters. Until very recently, all the US government could do was to deny that either UFOs or aliens exist, and ridicule as crazy anyone who reported them.

• “What is going down right now is extraordinary. This is really a big deal. We may be in the last days of the truth embargo,” Bassett told The Sun Online. “We might be finally about to get the confirmation of the ET presence we have been waiting [almost] 75 years for.” “This would be the most profound event in human history.”

• Bassett says there is no going back now. He believes that we’ll even see Congressional hearings on the UFO subject this summer, something that Bassett has been trying to instigate for years. He argues that the only way that UFO disclosure will happen is for military personnel to testify to the phenomena over many days and a number of committees – all watched by hundreds of millions of people.

• Since the US Navy releasing of high profile clips such as the infamous “Tic Tac” UFO video, competing theories on the videos continue to rage. Some claim the videos capture never-before-seen military aircraft or drones – ours or theirs. Others claim it shows otherworldly craft possibly piloted by aliens. Hardcore skeptics are still certain that the images on the videos are simply camera tricks, natural phenomena or hoaxes, notwithstanding the fact that Pentagon officials have authenticated the UFO footage as genuine.

• Nick Pope, who once investigated UFOs for the UK Ministry of Defence, told The Sun Online that the UFOs may be hypersonic drones from China or Russia that the US military somehow missed. Luis Elizondo, who headed up the Pentagon’s UFO program, said that UFOs could represent an intelligence failure on the level of 9/11.

 

          extraterrestrial disclosure

Steve Bassett, who has tirelessly worked to end the 74-year embargo of classified information on UFOs, told The Sun Online he believes intelligence agencies are preparing to lift the lid on extraterrestrial encounters.

The US Senate Intelligence Committee has asked the Director of National Intelligence to work with the Defense Department to provide a report by June 25 on unexplained sightings by the military.

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

 ‘Tic Tac’ UFO seen off of California in 2004

Since then, defense officials have confirmed a number of UFO sightings – and even released stunning videos which show unexplained encounters in the sky, now often known as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).

And the most recent was confirmed as genuine to The Sun Online last month – with a video and series of photos showing a mysterious phenomena encountering US warships and fighter planes.

Bassett, the executive director of Paradigm Research Group and a lobbyist on this issue, says he believes US intelligence is about to end what he called the 74 year truth embargo.

And he said such a release of information may be the “most profound” moment in the history of mankind.

He told The Sun Online: “What is going down right now is extraordinary. This is really a big deal. We may be in the last days of the truth embargo.

“We might be finally about to get the confirmation of the ET presence we have been waiting [almost] 75 years for.

“This would be the most profound event in human history.”

The term “disclosure” is often used to refer to the the total and final admission by the government that aliens are not only visiting Earth, but the government hides the truth from the public.

New Civilian Photos of Britain’s Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident Show a Flying Orb

Article by Emma Parry                                               May 5, 2021                                               (thesun.co.uk)

• By now, almost everyone has heard of the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident in Suffolk, England in late December 1980. Two USAF airmen, Staff Sgt Jim Penniston and Airman John Burroughs, stationed at the twin NATO bases RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters nearby, saw strange lights and got close enough to a mysterious triangular UFO craft that they could touch it. Colonel Charles Halt then led a military team into the forest to investigate the sightings. Halt and his team also saw strange lights and a red orb with a black center “winking” back at them, and claimed a UFO fired a beam of light near their feet.

• Now, a local resident has come forward claiming that he was poaching animals in the Rendlesham Forest in December of 1980, and saw Colonel Halt and his men in the woods. “Now bear this in mind,” says the poacher, “before this encounter I saw and heard a lot of strange things in that forest. I could tell you stories that would bend your bones, so every time I went poaching, I always took my camera always hoping to capture some evidence.”

• On this night, he got his black and white photos. “I saw a basketball sized red orb. It had a black center like a pupil and looked just like an eye winking at you, just like Halt explained it. It was zig zagging between the trees, strange. Freaked me out, weird… I saw it before Halt. It passed me first. Halt and his team were about 200 meters away, I could hear all the noise. Later I saw another UFO – it was firing beams of light down to the ground, definitely looking for something, God knows what.”

• The poacher submitted his photos and story anonymously through the UFO Casebook website, which collects information about UFO sightings from around the world. “I’ve sat on this information for over 40 years and it feels good to get it out and show the truth,” said the anonymous poacher. “I tell you, what I witnessed was simply incredible, definitely extra-terrestrial. No two ways about it.” “After this thing happened, I was followed for weeks, I had my phone tapped – scary time.” “You can read books and watch TV shows about it, but I’m telling you, you had to be there to really understand and appreciate just how incredible this thing was, changed my life forever.”

• British UFO sleuth Philip Mantle, a former director of investigations for the British UFO Research Association, questions the digital format of the proffered photos. “With today’s digital technology I have become very wary of any alleged UFO photographs, even more so when the photographer is anonymous as he is here with these pictures. Before I could come to any conclusions, I would have to know a lot more detail about the type of camera, the film, the exposure and so on,” said Mantle. “Remember, if these photos are authentic and taken in 1980, they would be on film and not digital.”

• There have been various theories to explain the Rendlesham incident including a lighthouse, a Russian satellite re-entry, and a stolen truck of manure set on fire. Brit researcher Nick Redfern put forward an explanation tying the sighting to scientists from the UK’s top-secret laboratory, Porton Down in Wiltshire, that carried out mind control experiments. He claims that soldiers from the base were tripping on LSD while the scientists set up advanced holograms to create images of UFOs.

They were supposedly taken in Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk by a poacher who claims he saw the same UFO being hunted by a military team from a nearby US airbase.

The alleged witness claims he was 200ft away from Colonel Charles Halt, deputy base commander of RAF Bentwaters, and his men, when he spotted the

glowing orb – in an unsolved case often dubbed the British Roswell after the infamous US UFO crash.

He said: “When I was younger, I was a poacher. I lived very close to Rendlesham Forest and frequently went poaching there. So back in 1980, 28 December, I was in the forest poaching.

“Now bear this in mind, before this encounter I saw and heard a lot of strange things in that forest. I could tell you stories that would bend your bones, so every time I went poaching, I always took my camera always hoping to capture some evidence.”

The case involved military witnesses from the twin NATO bases RAF Woodbridge and

RAF Bentwaters in Suffolk who saw strange lights in late December 1980.

Two airmen, Staff Sgt Jim Penniston and Airman John Burroughs, claim they got so close to a triangular craft they actually touched it.

Colonel Halt then led a military team into the forest to investigate the sightings.

They also saw strange lights and a red orb with a black centre “winking” back at them and claimed a UFO fired a beam of light near their feet.

Halt later wrote a memo to the MOD describing the freakish incident but it was filed away by defence chiefs.

The poacher said: “I saw a basketball sized red orb, it had a black centre like a pupil

and looked just like an eye winking at you, just like Halt explained it.

“It was zig zagging between the trees, strange, freaked me out, weird, proper not right, I saw it before Halt.

“It passed me first. Halt and his team were about 200 meters away, I could hear all the noise. Later I saw another UFO – it was firing beams of light down to the ground, definitely looking for something, God knows what.

“I tell you, what I witnessed was simply incredible, definitely extra-terrestrial. No two ways about it.

“You can read books and watch TV shows about it, but I’m telling you, you had to be there to really understand and appreciate just how incredible this thing was, changed my life forever.

“I’ve sat on this information for over 40 years and it feels good to get it out and show the truth.

“After this thing happened, I was followed for weeks, I had my phone tapped – scary time.”

NASA Hails China Space Ambitions As ‘Unifying Force’

Article by Tom O’Conner                                             May 5, 2021                                            (newsweek.com)

• On April 28th, China’s massive 18-story Long March 5B rocket roared out of the atmosphere to the flag waving cheers of the crowd and a symphony orchestra on the southern island Hainan province, carrying into orbit the core cabin module for the Tiangong modular space station (pictured above). (Note: After positioning the module in orbit, the 22.5 ton core stage of the spent rocket reentered the atmosphere and fell into the Indian Ocean on May 8th.)

• The People’s Liberation Army China Manned Space Engineering Office hailed the launch as an inauguration of “the third step” of the country’s human space exploration campaign. The first was to send a ‘taikonaut’ to and from space safely (as it did in 2003), and the second was to conduct extravehicular activity and orbital docking, tasks accomplished in 2008 and 2011.

• At this point, the Chinese have robotically gathered soil from, and planted a flag on the Moon. The China National Space Administration even landed the Chang’e 4 unmanned mission on the ‘yet untouched’ the far side of the Moon. But with the two temporary space labs comprising the beginning of the Tiangong modular space station, China can lay claim to the only other space station in Earth’s orbit, besides the International Space Station (ISS). Even the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs has nine projects already lined up for the Tiangong space station. But China has also announced plans for an International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), a scientific base either on or orbiting the Moon. Russia signed onto the ILRS in March, and put out a call for more international partners to join.

• Meanwhile, Beijing’s expanding economic, political and military influence has led to a significant deterioration of its relationship with Washington. Concerns about China’s business practices linger among U.S. policymakers. During his recent nomination hearing to head NASA before the Senate Commerce Committee, former Florida Senator Bill Nelson said, “There is a threat China poses in basically getting a lot of our secrets and getting a lot of our technology and invading a lot of our privacy.” The now head of NASA continued, “Now when you take that global concern and bring it to the space program, then you have to be concerned about the same thing.”

• Today, the International Space Station hosts personnel from the U.S., Russia, the European Union, Canada and Japan. But Chinese personnel are banned from ISS by the US Congress, citing intellectual property theft and development of an intercontinental ballistic missile program. It would take special consent of the FBI for NASA to even be allowed to participate with the Chinese space administration.

• In a statement sent to Newsweek, NASA insisted that it welcomes the strides made by its Chinese counterpart, viewing them as a mutual gain for all of mankind in spite of the terrestrial tensions between the two top powers. “NASA uses space and science as a unifying force. Exploration is a global endeavor – each milestone contributing to humanity’s understanding of the universe. And we look forward to China’s contributions to increased scientific understanding.”

[Editor’s Note]  NASA is a “unifying force?” “Exploration is a global endeavor?” In 1963, two weeks after John F. Kennedy expressed support for this same ‘unifying force’ between NASA and the Soviet Union, the deep state murdered him. Now deep state-controlled NASA claims that it wants to set aside our geopolitical tensions and join together in space harmony, even though NASA is legally prohibited from doing so. But publications like Newsweek report it and so it magically becomes hard news, readily defended by the likes of Drudge and Snopes.

The reality is that the deep state has worked hard to keep anyone from going to the Moon since the Apollo Moon landings’ dog and pony show that came to an end in 1972. Behind the scenes, however, the deep state elite developed highly advanced secret space programs, establishing trade with other races and civilizations throughout the galaxy. They want the people on Earth to be obedient, mind-controlled economic slaves. They want us to believe that propellant-fueled rockets, digging up dirt on the Moon and Mars, and putting two space stations into orbit is the extent of our space technology.

Since WWII, the Western deep state has successfully gained control of nearly all of our planet’s banking and financial system, political system, mass media, social media, oil industry, medical and pharmaceutical industries, high tech, and our expansion into space. But the deep state has never managed to control Russia. And it pisses them off. This is why Russia has been the sworn enemy and scapegoat for every false flag or political scandal instigated by the deep state since their fabricated “Cold War” began.

Regardless of the so-called “news” reported by Newsweek, NASA and the deep state are not at all thrilled about Russia and China pushing past the institutional lethargy to resume our planet’s natural development, which has been strangled by the deep state’s occulted cabal since the time of Tesla. But it is this innate human desire to continue to push forward that has inspired the global military white hat Alliance, led by US military patriots, to embrace the groundswell of an awakening populist and move against the a thoroughly corrupted and evil deep state. We will soon succeed in removing the negative and greed-driven deep state completely from power so that our planet can move ahead toward a space-faring future, positive interaction with our galactic neighbors, and the release of advanced technologies that will utterly transform our society.

 

There’s a new major player in the final frontier, but the United States’ space agency under President

Joe Biden sees an upside to its top competitor’s success, even if U.S. scientists remain formally banned from cooperating with their Chinese counterparts.

For decades, the realm of outer space travel was dominated by the U.S. and Russia, a reality set by their Cold War-era space race that ultimately helped fuel historic developments now also being advanced by a range of countries across the globe, including in Europe, India, Israel, Japan and the United Arab Emirates.

No country’s rapid rise has grabbed as much global attention, however, as that of China, whose

accelerated ascendance into space mirrors its lightning growth back on Earth. Beijing’s expanding economic, political and military influence has led to a significant deterioration of its relationship with Washington, which has enjoyed unmatched superpower status since the fall of the Soviet Union.

As China celebrates the landmark launch of the first module to its planned space station, NASA is welcoming the strides made by its Chinese counterpart, viewing them as a mutual gain for all of mankind in spite of the terrestrial tensions between the two top powers.

“NASA uses space and science as a unifying force,” the agency said in a statement sent to Newsweek. “Exploration is a global endeavor, each milestone contributing to humanity’s understanding of the universe, and we look forward to China’s contributions to increased scientific understanding.”

China’s planned Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) large modular space station came closer to reality over the weekend in the southern island Hainan province where a massive 18-story LongMarch 5B rocket roared out of the atmosphere, successfully bringing the Tianhe (Harmony of the Heavens) core cabin module into orbit. Citizens waving national flags cheered on and the Xi’an Symphony Orchestra performed.
