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.

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.
