‘This is urgent’: Bipartisan proposal for UFO office pushes new boundaries
politico.com ^ | BRYAN BENDER

Posted on 11/18/2021 4:42:11 AM PST by RoosterRedux

A bipartisan proposal to create a more expansive military and intelligence program to study UFOs is urgently needed to determine whether unexplained sightings by Navy and Air Force pilots pose a threat or are evidence of some “other entity,” the lead sponsor said Wednesday.

“If it is technology possessed by adversaries or any other entity, we need to know,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said in her first interview about the effort. “Burying our heads in the sand is neither a strategy nor an acceptable approach.”

Gillibrand is behind an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that is being debated this week to create an ‘‘Anomaly Surveillance and Resolution Office” with authority to pursue “any resource, capability, asset, or process of the Department and the intelligence community” to get to the bottom of the sightings of “unidentified aerial phenomena," or UAPs.

*snip*

Gillibrand, a member of the Armed Services and Intelligence committees, said she was heavily influenced by the “repeated reports over the last two or three years of these increased sightings by Navy pilots and Air Force pilots.”

She believes the fact that the possible explanations are so varied is why a dedicated effort is required.

“You have a million questions that must be answered for a million reasons,” she said, citing “the entire spectrum of unidentified aerial phenomena.”

“You're talking about drone technology, you're talking about balloon technology, you're talking about other aerial phenomena, and then you're talking about the unknown,” she said. “Regardless of where you fall on the question of the unknown, you have to answer the rest of the questions. That’s why this is urgent. That’s why having no oversight or accountability up until now to me is unacceptable.”

Gillibrand, a member of the Armed Services and Intelligence committees...

Extraterrestrials have a very low bar to clear in claiming to be superior beings to Gillibrand.

How will the government use this new agency to go after people. It’s inevitable

Just two observations:

1. If ‘they’ wanted to be hidden...they are doing a lousy job, and obviously have some ‘Brandon’ in charge of their operation.

2. On technology age, you can probably go and assume they are more than a thousand years older than our civilization today.

If ‘they’ wanted to be hidden

Naval officers whose ships have been plagued with these "things" have concluded exactly the opposite is the case.

They appear to be engaged in a kind of coming-out party.

/\

You answered your own question

as it is obvious you are
alien hesitant
and
an anti alien cosmic extreemist terrorist bigot

an alien denier.

You will be the first to be analy probed by this new agency

to purge you of your bias.

I, for one, welcome our alien overlords.

They’ve probably evolved to be as suspicious of government as we are. And have better stuff.

They have been urgently trying to figure out what happened in 1952:

It has worked perfectly for .gov for seventy years--if it isn't broke don't fix it!

First you would have to assume that there ARE aliens out there...

The other observations are spot on, though I would add that they are also terrible at hypnotising folks. The come from Light Years away, but, they can’t cloud minds well enough that a hypnotist can’t get hundreds of details out of abductee’s minds.

It’s like we are getting visited by the Three Stooges of the Extra-terrestrial universe.

I would be very interested in learning about other life forms in outer space,
but I am no longer interested in or impressed by the Light Shows.

I read reports of strange light formations in the night sky.
I say “And?” Is that all there is to a UFO? That’s as useless as Crop Circles.

I’m waiting for “them” to send one of their worker Greys down here with a clear message in one of our languages.
They could even go retro and use hieroglyphics.
What do you want from us?
Do we even have a choice?

There is nothing bipartisan with the Democrats. So the Democrats will be hitting up the aliens for campaign donations, having their lawyers hire PI’s to photograph aliens in compromising situations. I would not put it past the Democrats to sleep with aliens to gain more power, the kind of power only alien-love can provide.

Last year, I watched a discussion group (couple of PhD types) over the idea of long-term and far-distance space travel. The main idea thrown out there was that you’d build some AI-robotic-like ‘things’...plan out missions of exploration, and there would be no physical beings in these vessels.

I’m prone to think these UFOs that the Navy/AF report up...are just that...AI beings with programmed orders/directions.

An explanation for the origin of Adam Shift’s presence

and the reason for his bug out eyes.

I knew he wasn’t really part of the human race.

To be staffed by space cadets, no doubt.
