Senate Intelligence Committee commissions public report on UFOs
Hot Air ^ | Jazz Shaw

Posted on 06/23/2020 10:46:09 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

The ufology community is all abuzz this week about some news out of Washington, and for good reason. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence just released their Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. Much of it is the standard housekeeping dealing with appropriations, structural changes to departments in the CIA and some rearranging of the deck chairs in various departments inside the intelligence community. It also includes directions for reports to be generated on the activities of Russia, the Chinese Communist Party and other adversaries of interest. But buried back on pages 11 and 12, there is one section of the report that set the UFO community off like a 4th of July fireworks display.

The title of that section is “Advanced Aerial Threats.” Buckle up, campers. Things are about to get wild. Here’s the introductory paragraph with emphasis added by yours truly.

The Committee supports the efforts of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force at the Office of Naval Intelligence to standardize collection and reporting on unidentified aerial phenomenon, any links they have to adversarial foreign governments, and the threat they pose to U.S. military assets and installations. However, the Committee remains concerned that there is no unified, comprehensive process within the Federal Government for collecting and analyzing intelligence on unidentified aerial phenomena, despite the potential threat. The Committee understands that the relevant intelligence may be sensitive; nevertheless, the Committee finds that the information sharing and coordination across the Intelligence Community has been inconsistent, and this issue has lacked attention from senior leaders.

1-Some sightings are gov't advanced programs.

2- Others we just can't explain.

3- Pretending that we "know" they are from outside our universe is folly.

“...there is no unified, comprehensive process within the Federal Government for collecting and analyzing intelligence on unidentified aerial phenomena, despite the potential threat...”

They’ve only had 70 years to get their act together.

This report will be more of the same. ‘We don’t know what they are, but here’s a list of encounters’. If ‘little green men’ do exist, one of them could walk up behind Trump and goose him at a press conference, and they’d still say ‘We don’t know who that was’. Can you imagine the hysterics in some quarters if the government finally came out and said, “Yeah, they exist, they’re intelligent, and they ain’t from this zip code”? On the other hand, there’s a portion of society (at least here in the US) who are so dazed and punch-drunk from coronavirus lockdowns, impeachment, BLM rioting, etc., they’re likely too apathetic to care at this point. Then, of course, you can bet that some Leftist asshat (I’m looking at you, Sheila Jackson Lee) will ask if they’re practicing social distancing while they’re here.

Knowing how well secrets are kept within the government (that’s stated sarcastically) I’m pretty sure there is no there there.

From the article:

“But buried back on pages 11 and 12, there is one section of the report that set the UFO community off like a 4th of July fireworks display.

The title of that section is “Advanced Aerial Threats.” Buckle up, campers. Things are about to get wild. Here’s the introductory paragraph with emphasis added by yours truly.

The Committee supports the efforts of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force at the Office of Naval Intelligence to standardize collection and reporting on unidentified aerial phenomenon, any links they have to adversarial foreign governments, and the threat they pose to U.S. military assets and installations.

The Committee understands that the relevant intelligence may be sensitive; nevertheless, the Committee finds that the information sharing and coordination across the Intelligence Community has been inconsistent, and this issue has lacked attention from senior leaders.”

Maybe this is one of the reasons for the Space Force?

See the original excerpt upthread for the “emphasis added” stuff.

I’ve seen them both.

there is no unified, comprehensive process within the Federal Government for collecting and analyzing intelligence on unidentified aerial phenomena, despite the potential threat.

If we’re that desperate for stupid ways to waste money, just pass it on over here. I might accidentally do something productive with it.

Having been directly part of a NASA based encounter scenario (involving the Space Shuttle), the “We know they exist, but we have no idea what they are” is a fair statement. Now, who knows what other orgs know. I suspect that it’s pretty much the same.
