UFO Reverse-Engineering Project Should Be Made Public: Ex-Intel Official
Newsweek ^ | 6/3/23 AT 1:47 PM EDT | BY ANDREW STANTON

Posted on 06/06/2023 5:40:02 AM PDT by Red Badger

Aformer intelligence official is calling on the federal government to make information public about an alleged reverse-engineering project involving unidentified flying objects (UFOs).

UFO sightings have long piqued the interests of billions of people across the globe for centuries. Although these sightings are oftentimes easily explained—at times being space objects such as meteors or military equipment—they often lead many to ponder the potential of extraterrestrial life. Recent years have seen renewed focus on UFOs, with many calling for more transparency from the U.S. government about these sightings.

Christopher Mellon, a former deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Intelligence who specializes in UFOs, wrote in a Politico opinion piece published Saturday that he has received reports that the government has engaged in a "reverse engineering project" involving UFOs. He urged the government to make any records public, though these reports could not be independently verified by Newsweek.

Mellon wrote that he has referred four witnesses to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) who claimed to have knowledge about a secret government program "involving the analysis and exploitation of materials recovered from off-world craft," and that other sources have contacted him about an "alleged secret U.S. government reverse engineering program."

He gave a number of reasons why he believed any information about these alleged projects should be made public. Mellon said the American have "have a right to know the truth" about whether the government has reverse engineered UFO projects and that people "can handle" any information about extraterrestrial craft.

Disclosure of such information could also help global leaders "develop an effective deterrent" against an attack, he wrote, noting that there are no signals of "aggression."

Mellon also explained several scientific benefits to disclosing any information.

So FR gets its news from Newsweek and Polutico now?
This is all fake news designed to distract voters while the left continues their global takeover.

One of the things we all use today that was supposedly from reversing alien technology is fiber optic cable.
This was mentioned just yesterday on a show on Rumble. Which I had never heard of before.

The reason given to change the names from UFOs to UAPs was that some of these craft have the ability to go in and out of the water. Meaning, they are no longer “flying”.

UAP = Unidentified Aerial Phenomena

I doubt it. There is a long history of developments which led to fiber optic technology.

MSM, my point exactly.
Typically, a news story about alien craft is something you see on Rumble, YouTube, or some other streaming channel. Joe Rogan has done multiple interviews/shows about them on his podcast.

This is not usually reported in the NY TIMES.

IF the NY TIMES reports something it is REAL NEWS according to all of the MSM mockingbird media. They take their lead from the NY Times and the Washington Post. To the point that it is alleged that they put out DAILY talking points that all the MSM repeat. Which is why you hear all the talking heads on TV say the exact same phrase over and over again.

That the CIA gives those talking points to the NY Times to distribute to the mockingbird media.

The question is WHY NOW is this story/whistleblower coming out?

There are no UFOs being held in Area 51, or the basement of the Alamo.

We now know that in the late 1970s and 1980s there was a lot of work going on developing the F-117 in Area 51, and before that it was development of the SR-71 and its variants.

It is this work that explains the daily JANUS flights from Las Vegas to Area 51 during those years.

I personally think this 'whistleblower' is also full of bovine excrement.

Starting with the observation of internal reflection of light in a stream of water.

“We are hearing this from a guy who read something at some time from unknown authors.”

You must not have read the article.

I have had people who were in the Airforce tell me about that for many years.

Well I guess that settles it then!

YOU say its baloney, so it must be so.

Congratulations on being able to be so sure about something that you absolutely cannot know. That’s a valuable skill!

Mostly useful for not learning anything new. Like when an ostrich sticks his head in the sand.

One of the questions also raised was WHY did the Trump administration create The Space Force?

One of the bases right near my house in NH was changed from the USAF to Space Force. This base has been around since 1942 when it was originally a bombing range. In 1959 it became a satellite tracking station. In 2020 it was transferred to the Space Force. So, does that mean they are tracking something more than Russian/Chinese ICBMs?
