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.

So called aliens are demonic in origin.

Bring ‘em.....nothing a load of 00 Buck won’t cure. Killing ‘em is not homicide, and it can easily be open season on them if they exist.

That worked out well for the Native Americans, right?

Maybe you just need to stop and think about Creation. If ET exists it is because God put them there. They would just be people, maybe with a peculiar shape.

Your ultra-primitive response is disturbing.

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

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

The Left is very good at this type of thing. They take isolated instances of something and turn it into a national threat/problem.

The Left’s abilities to manipulate, control and deceive are very well developed, and of course they have the full weight of the media behind them. The Left also excels at branding their campaigns.

Conservatives will never be able to compete with the Left’s propaganda. Its only when things go haywire under Leftist rule that people vote against them.

If and when they come it won’t be subtle IMO. If they’re that advanced there’s no need for them to play hide and seek.

Although I cannot speak for many of us here, and might have no direct knowledge anyway, but probably many on this site can neither confirm nor deny your refusal to disagree with Comment #2.

That just might get us into a very one sided war. Grow up.

He had interactions with the demonic. The Bible clearly establishes their presence.

I do believe in demons. I don't, however, see any reason to equate ET with demons. The Bible certainly does not make that connection.

See Candor7’s responses. It is obvious that people won’t deal with this issue in a responsible or intellectual manner.

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

That level of physics is less than 200 years old. Look at the progress we have experienced in just the last 80 years. Now suppose the remote civilization didn't go through a Dark Ages. Is it possible they know something we don't?

That is clearly not the case. People, especially the religious ones, will fall apart at the seams. Just look at the responses on this thread. Most of our people will not emotionally survive disclosure and society WILL collapse or go into a period of chaos.

Secret planes, classified mil tech. I’m more likely to believe they like the alien cover story over the real story.

You're probably right. A secret plane they don't want you to see, or it's not a UFO that don't want you to see, it's what's in the background of the picture they don't want you to see.

But to some, this will be "proof" that the government knows all about UFOs.

I have 2 theories. Humans aren’t afraid of bushes exploding into flames, cloud formations, and buildings falling. We as people have technology and God has to come up with unexplained phenomena we can’t understand.
I heard Russia and China have had aircraft that engaged the UFOs and had been shot down. I don’t trust anyone anymore to tell me the truth anymore. Even an ex CIA agent that has inside information on them, so this is all bunk to keep us afraid.
