Lawmakers receiving the latest secret briefings on UFOs say national security agencies still aren’t taking seriously the reports of highly advanced aircraft of unknown origin violating protected airspace.

But some leading sponsors of recent legislation want more analysts and surveillance systems dedicated to determining the aircrafts’ origin — and not just more reports of their existence.

“I don’t trust the Department of Defense to get this right since leadership there has always been part of a cover-up,” said Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), a member of the House Transportation Aviation Subcommittee.

“It is clear from the public evidence that we don’t have full control of our airspace,” added Burchett, whose district includes Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where there have been numerous reports of UFO sightings over the decades. “That’s a national security issue and it’s also unacceptable.”

Others said that while officials are doing a better job of collecting reports of UAPs, they are still reluctant to dedicate more intelligence assets to determine whether some of the reported craft might belong to a foreign nation or if they are extraterrestrial in nature.

“I have seen everything we have [in the files] and I am very confident they are not ours,” said a former senior intelligence official who had authority over the UFO portfolio, referring to classified U.S. aircraft programs.

If I were Elon Musk I would send all of them a thick softly leather bound special edition of

In the original language of course.

Can someone ping ELon

Its a good thing that our forefathers had the foresight to equip The Capitol with a giant shotgun.

Pentagon to congress critters: “We can identify our but the others we can’t do anything about. And we’re not gonna give you squat about ours because that would put the global oil economy in sharp decline. We ain’t using petroleum to run ours.”

When WND was reporting on all this, before they were the first to be “deplatformed” while nobody on the right gave a rat’s ass, Freepers screeched “world nut daily!” “UFO kooks!” Of course that was when the people who are right all the time loved George W.

In 1952 Flying Saucers were playing tag with jet fighters for a couple hours over the Capitol Building. I saw it live on tv.
