Classified UFO videos would 'harm national security' if released, Navy says
livescience.com ^ | Brandon Specktor

The U.S. Navy holds unseen videos of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) — or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), as the Department of Defense (DOD) prefers to call them — but will not release the footage publicly because it would "harm national security," a Navy spokesperson wrote Wednesday (Sept. 7).

The admission came in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the government transparency site The Black Vault, which has previously shared thousands of pages of UFO-related documents received via FOIA requests to the CIA and other government agencies. The Black Vault filed the FOIA request to the U.S. Navy in April 2020 — just one day after the Navy declassified three now-infamous videos shot by Navy pilots showing high-tech aircraft moving in seemingly impossible ways. The Black Vault requested that the Navy now turn over any and all other videos related to UAP.

More than two years later, the government responded with a letter that both confirmed that more UAP videos exist and denied the request to turn them over due to national security concerns.

Gregory Cason, deputy director of the Navy's FOIA office, wrote in a response letter. "No portions of the videos can be segregated for release."

Cason added that the Navy was able to declassify the three UAP videos released in April 2020 only because the videos had been previously leaked to the media and had already been "discussed extensively in the public domain." The Navy deemed it possible to officially release the footage "without further damage to national security," Cason wrote.

I think this is actually a reference to how most people will become unhinged when faced with proof of ET visitation. Society will collapse because the public is just unable to cope with the idea of a big neighborhood in the Cosmos. The “ET are demons” crowd will go catatonic or perhaps violent.

Not in the least.

Its time someone shot an alien and slammed it onto the public table like a good deer carcass.

If not, go away and leave us alone.

You see an alien ship hovering 500 feet over your house?

Unleash a 40 round .223 magazine at it.

All this desire of pressing the alien flesh . a reimagining of humanity and its outer boundaries is a load of propaganda.Its right up there with the transgender movement.

Just watch those stupid Bigfoot shows with the "experts" running around the woods at night. According to them The Squatch's can shape shift,turn invisible or into a shadow,and even pilot a UFO! Ain't experts great!

You do know that some folks think these “aliens” may be humans from the far future, right?

That case is made here:

What you are doing is exactly what the mainstream media does to us.

They find the wackiest lunatic right winger they can find and say “See—they are all like it. Told ya.”

The best way to get people to accept a global government would be to introduce a common enemy.

Did Jesus Christ resurrect? If so, what did he do and say?

He had interactions with the demonic. The Bible clearly establishes their presence. So what is their mission right now? Fear and confusion. So it certainly fits.

I was working in the Pentagon when a few of these events happened. I saw the videos and was amazed at how many colleagues of mine refused to entertain the possibility of demonic manifestation.

I suppose you have to be born again in order to see it for what it is. There is a great delusion promised by God in the last days. Here we are.

It is the psychological impact on military personnel in the area.

*************

Prolly right about that. That said, its disturbing that the government “of the people, by the people and for the people” doesn’t trust the people to make their own decisions regarding something that is potentially so consequential. We are being kept in the dark by the very government that we elect, fund and pay for, and which is supposed to serve the people. They tell us only what they want us to know.

If you really want to know what can happen if you “go there” this is the book to read:

https://www.amazon.com/Skinwalkers-Pentagon-Insiders-Account-Government/dp/B09HR54GQF

A bunch of well armed military and intelligence guys decided to show the “phenomenon” who was boss.

By the time it was over...

(spoiler alert)

there were “hitch-hikers” that followed them home to the DC suburbs and terrorized their families.

This book is very well documented btw—ignore all the video stuff—this book is the real deal.

I put my faith in the laws of physics and E=MC^2 before the babble of any government agency.

People do have the ostrich syndrome rather badly. I think that is why the Navy understands this a security issue. Society will fall apart rather than shrug off ET existence. Religious people will become deeply troubled, possibly dangerous.

I remember way back when "Close Encounters" came out. My brother was angered when the military locked down the area around the contact site. Then I pointed out that such was a good idea in view of some redneck killing ETs, sparking a war we couldn't handle. He actually came around on that issue.
