A rather peculiar moment occurred during the Congressional hearings on Unidentified Aerial Phenomenal (UAPs, aka, UFOs) Tuesday (May 17). Congressman Mike Gallagher (R-Wis) asked a question about the 1967 Malmstrom Air Force Base incident, and got a rather astonishing, shall we call it, non-reply. Scott Bray, the deputy director of Naval Intelligence, responded that he knew nothing of the event, other than that it has received some publicity outside of official channels.
Of course, we cannot expect that the foremost people leading the UAP investigations, especially at this initial stage, will know everything about every reported incident going back decades. However, that was not the gist of Bray’s response. He did not characterize the reported incident as minor, which it certainly was not. It involved the security of nuclear missiles. What he said was that, apparently, the UAP investigators do not possess any official records of the matter. They have not looked into it. They have nothing to say about it.
One might expect a number of possible responses that would indicate at least some degree of interest in this kind of potential threat to national security, especially since over the years, other, less spectacular sightings have been made in the vicinity of restricted areas. Bray tried to explain that his agency looks into matters only when they have been reported to it by “authoritative” persons. Mike Gallagher averred that he does not consider himself to be authoritative, but that he was at that moment requesting that Bray look into it. Bray allowed that he will.

Much better analogy!
Some of these cases near high security installations (not all, but some) are in fact tests to see who will become a whistleblower and leak national security secrets.
The Deep State had a lot of tricks they could play with secret high tech to fool the peons.
The scenario:
“UFO” event happens.
Employees are then instructed to remain silent since this is a national security matter.
Local media outlets were monitored—to see which employees started blabbing.
The “untrustworthy” employees are moved to non-sensitive areas going forward.
Nobody was instructed. Everyone was talking about it for days.
It sounds as if again we have the creation of an agency that will be used to cover over many things that are known and not revealed because they in fact will never be told the whole official record and may not even be told new stuff that “the authorities” don’t want reported to them. The new agency may beceme nothing more than the public relations project that pretends to know it all and will only know what “the officials” have decided they could tell them about.
