Senators receive classified briefing on UFO sightings
CNN ^ | Veronica Stracqualursi and Zachary Cohen

Posted on 06/21/2019 4:18:12 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

A group of US senators, including the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence committee, received a classified briefing Wednesday about a series of reported encounters by the US Navy with unidentified aircraft, according to a congressional aide.

"If pilots at Oceana or elsewhere are reporting flight hazards that interfere with training or put them at risk, then Senator Warner wants answers. It doesn't matter if it's weather balloons, little green men, or something else entirely — we can't ask our pilots to put their lives at risk unnecessarily," Rachel Cohen, the spokeswoman for Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, told CNN.

Joseph Gradisher, spokesman for the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare, also confirmed the briefing took place in a statement to CNN on Thursday. "Navy officials did indeed meet with interested congressional members and staffers on Wednesday to provide a classified brief on efforts to understand and identify these threats to the safety and security of our aviators," he said.

"Follow-up discussions with other interested staffers are scheduled for later today (Thursday, 20 June). Navy officials will continue to keep interested congressional members and staff informed. Given the classified nature of these discussions, we will not comment on the specific information provided in these Hill briefings," Gradisher added.

I think that Friday is a heavy drinking day in DC (heavier than usual, that is) so, yes, some staffer will get blasted at lunch at spill his guts.

If anything of substance is "blabbed," it will hit the interweb presses about 2:00 pm.

That does seem like what it is, doesn’t it. At least it is consistent with the “small moves” concept.

Even though he was the second worst president, Jimmy Carter is on record as spotting a UFO. I for one never doubted his sincerity and honesty.

I think what you have is a fair number of military pilots (AF/Navy) who are fed up with ‘don’t report this’ mentality, and via social media and chats....they’ve put pressure on the system to say ‘something’ is going on.

Who knows....we may find out in ten years that 10,000 aliens quietly reside in the US....and it’s not the Latin or African kind of aliens. And no wall is going to limit their entry into the nation.

Was “Pencil Neck” in the briefing? If he was, the whole world will soon know all about it.

Warner is in charge of nothing, but reading this makes it sound like democrats have the majority in the senate...strange (/s)

“Senator Warner wants answers.”

I don’t think Warner would know an answer if it hit him in the face.

You already know the psy ops fakery is on when it is using spectacular terms for the barbarians like UFO instead of calling it a phenomena, a technology or some monolith event

Will Elisabeth Warren pretend she has genuine UFO heritage?

People often misunderstand and thereby mischaracterize the acronym UFO.

It simply means Unidentified Flying Object....I’ve seen dozens over my lifetime, a few pretty bizarre but certainly not uncommon and most definitely not likely to have been craft from another world.

Just because you can’t identify an object in the air doesn’t mean it’s not completely explainable if all the facts were known. They often are not at the time or become available at any time so the “object” remains “unidentified”. That designation having absolutely nothing to due with it’s function or origin.
