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

Posted on 09/10/2022 5:53:57 AM PDT by BenLurkin

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.

“Then there are the ones who wish to start shooting.”

What exactly are they supposed to shoot at?

I will acknowledge there may be a measurable uptick in mental illness—but the danger is way over-rated imho.

The real situation is that the “phenomenon” is incredibly complex and many of the important details have already been released—for anyone who cares enough to do their homework.

Most people don’t care now—and they are not going to care no matter what information is released.

Exactly. Which would make the headline 100 percent correct.

I’d take a look at “Alien Intrusion” before I’d write it off.

If we hold that the Bible is authoritative and tells us everything about creation, man, sin, death, angelic and demonic— it’s a logical conclusion. Not all tactics by the demonic are told in the Bible, but can be characterized under general topics.

I think part of it is human craft and something off world. Interstellar travel is unlikely but inter-dimensional is very likely. Are they demons, fallen angels, the watchers or unknown species or entities, who knows. If the abductions of humans is true then they can’t be friendly. After the first few they should know all they need to know about us physically.

I think we are being set up for a full disclosure by the government possibly because the phenomena is no longer willing to take part in the deception.

It’s a little odd that only the navy has the videos. I would suspect that it has something to do with technology unique to their systems that keeps this classified.

To imitate dear leader it might be best to go to the back porch and fire off a couple of shotgun rounds into the sky...(Buckshot does not come down as fatally as do 60-80 AR-15 rounds)

Gotta fight ‘em off responsibly, ya know 😎 🤪 !!!

The more I study this the more convinced there is no “government” policy.

One example—the Atomic Energy Commission was in charge of the Trinity incident in 1945:

https://www.amazon.com/Trinity-Secret-Jacques-F-Vall%C3%A9e/dp/B09KDWDPZ1

Supposedly they kept the craft (and occupants) to themselves—other parts of the government did not have a “need to know”.

It looks like the Air Force has its secrets, the Navy has theirs etc.

The compartmentalization has gotten out of control.

But they do hurt and leave bruises. I know.

I can believe the US government is that stupid. They probably between all agencies involved most of the answers to their questions but not enough sense or due to paranoia to put 2+2 together.

Then again the last 30 years have shown the US government is capable of anything and incompetent at everything…

...the Bible is authoritative and tells us everything about creation...

It absolutely does no such thing!!

If it does, I have missed the passages on:

The nature of atoms and molecules
Electronics
Radio transmission and reception
Chemical reactions
The nature of light
Bacteria and viruses
Mathematics
Internal combustion engines
Powered and unpowered flight
Orbital mechanics
Atomic fission and fusion
...so on, into infinity...

The above is a severely abbreviated list of things we know about that ARE NOT in the Bible. Would you argue that nothing on that list exists?

There are some hilarious stories of CIA Directors and even Presidents trying to figure out what is going on and being told “you have no need to know”.

As far as I can tell the Atomic Energy Commission never briefed anybody else—ever.

For all I know they still have a craft buried in some musty basement somewhere.

All of this “alien” nonsense is nothing more than a device to explain away the Rapture.

This radar was said to have tracked the TicTacs off San Diego:

OK, I’ll bite. I don’t think the really unusual sightings are secret craft made by any government here on earth. I’ve read too much material that supports the ET hypothesis.

Take it up with Jesus. Tell God where he is wrong, or erred. Colossians 1:16-17.

“All” means “all.”

So, are you saying that none of those things in my list exist, and that Jesus told you so? What is going on here?
