In the $600 billion annual Defense Department budgets, the $22 million spent on the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was almost impossible to find.
Which was how the Pentagon wanted it...
...The Defense Department has never before acknowledged the existence of the program, which it says it shut down in 2012. But its backers say that, while the Pentagon ended funding for the effort at that time, the program remains in existence...
...The shadowy program — parts of it remain classified — began in 2007, and initially it was largely funded at the request of Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who was the Senate majority leader at the time and who has long had an interest in space phenomena. Most of the money went to an aerospace research company run by a billionaire entrepreneur and longtime friend of Mr. Reid’s, Robert Bigelow...
corporate cronyism from Dingy Harry.
There are no extraterrestrials, nor their remnants, which have been here, granting a very slight possibility of microbial forms in a Martian meteorite.
And that’s very slight.
If the gubment knows more than they are admitting, that is their job. Any extra-earth folks must be viewed as a potential threat. Why would you tip your hand to a possible adversary?
Anyone who is talking does not know anything.
Anyone who knows anything isn’t talking.
I worked for a Colonel who had been stationed at Wright Patterson. He said there was the body of a deceased space alien there.
They now have the ability to manage any hysteria that might result from full disclosure.
LOL
Mr Knapp is a big time UFO - I’d say nut, but he seems to believe in the UFO silliness.
Otherwise, he isn’t a bad TV reporter on local issues.
I miss the winter weather in Las Vedas, having lived there for 11 years - but I do not miss the horrible gang problems now eating the place alive...
Dude stinks like a CIA tool.
