Congress Admits UFOs Not ‘Man-Made,’ Says ‘Threats’ Increasing ‘Exponentially’
Vice ^ | August 23, 2022 | Matthew Gault

Posted on 08/23/2022 3:33:28 PM PDT by grundle

After years of revelations about strange lights in the sky, first hand reports from Navy pilots about UFOs, and governmental investigations, Congress seems to have admitted something startling in print: it doesn’t believe all UFOs are “man-made.”

Buried deep in a report that’s an addendum to the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, a budget that governs America’s clandestine services, Congress made two startling claims. The first is that “cross-domain transmedium threats to the United States national security are expanding exponentially.” The second is that it wants to distinguish between UFOs that are human in origin and those that are not: “Temporary nonattributed objects, or those that are positively identified as man-made after analysis, will be passed to appropriate offices and should not be considered under the definition as unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena,” the document states.

The admission is stunning chiefly because, as more information about the U.S. government’s study of UFOs has become public, many politicians have stopped just short of claiming the unidentified objects were extraterrestrial or extradimensional in origin. The standard line is typically that, if UFOs exist, then they're likely advanced—although human-made—vehicles. Obama refused to confirm the existence of aliens but did say that people have seen a lot of strange stuff in the sky lately when asked directly on The Late Show with James Corden, for example. But now Congress seems to want to specifically distinguish between objects that are “man-made” and those that are not.

A “cross-domain transmedium” threat is one that, by the Pentagon’s definition, can move from water to air to space in ways we don’t understand. In July, the Pentagon announced it was opening the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) to investigate these threats. The bill would reclassify Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (the government's term for UFOs) as Unidentified Aerospace-Undersea Phenomena and rename the Pentagon's office in line with the new designation. Last year, a leaked video that was confirmed by the Pentagon as being authentic appeared to show a UFO seamlessly flying beneath the waves.

Senator Marco Rubio, the vice chair of the Senate Select Committee overseeing intelligence that issued the report, has publicly said he wants the UFOs to be aliens and not foreign weapons.

A large question, of course, is why Congress is seemingly admitting this now, in public. After all, lawmakers are privy to classified information that the general public isn't. “It strains credulity to believe that lawmakers would include such extraordinary language in public legislation without compelling evidence,” Marik von Rennenkampff, an Obama-era DoD official, said in an op-ed in The Hill about the budget. According to the op-ed, the comments were first noticed by UFO researcher Douglas Johnson.

"This implies that members of the Senate Intelligence Committee believe (on a unanimous, bipartisan basis) that some UFOs have non-human origins," von Rennenkampff continued. "After all, why would Congress establish and task a powerful new office with investigating non-'man-made' UFOs if such objects did not exist?"

"Make no mistake: One branch of the American government implying that UFOs have non-human origins is an explosive development."

A bipartisan group of U.S. legislators has long put pressure on the Pentagon to figure out what the strange lights are that Americans are seeing in the sky. In 2021, the DoD issued a report detailing more than 100 sightings that it investigated. It said some of what it studied could not be explained with current scientific models and asked for more time and money to study the phenomenon. Congress has given it to them and now it’s asking the Pentagon to focus only on those objects that haven’t been designed by human hands.

Sounds like if they can’t get us into a war with Russia, they’ll settle for an inter-galactic war. Being more advanced than us, alien life forms are wise enough not to want to make contact.

Why, you think the devil isn't smart enough?

Not sure, and I sometimes wonder if he can read. Considering how it ends for him he's an idiot if he doesn't skip town and take up residence in the nearest convenient parallel dimension, sipping umbrella drinks on a tropical planet's sandy beach. I would. Kinda dumb to follow a scripted demise...

Been saying that for a long time. Knowing how humans behave, especially our history of violence and war, they know better than to make contact. The first thing we’d do is demand they share their technology. And the second thing we’d do, if they refuse, would be to try to steal or forcefully take it from them.

Demons on earth and on other planets, possible fallen angels, have been among us deceiving the deceivers for a while now. They will pose as aliens and they will be all about “Science” and they will aim to disprove God. They will offer to rule over us, and most of our shitizens, especially the white liberal assholes, will do whatever they say.

Seriously ... There’s nothing they won’t do to try to distract from the debacle of Biden.

“I’ve always suspected that UFO activity will somehow be involved in the end times.”

Absolutely. I’ve believed the same thing. The Rapture will be rationalized as alien abduction.

“...the only thing that makes sense to me is that they are manifestations of spiritual entities.”

It has been reported that dragon flies are too!

“I was listening to famed theoretical physicist Michio Kaku on the Joe Rogan Show describe these objects. Mind-blowing!”

The famed theoretical know-it-alls here say he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

Most people don’t understand that physicists do a lot of theoretical punting.

Some of it’s quite interesting, and quite a lot of it has never been proofed.

Trump probably has all of this info. He should just release.

They are either a secret race/society akin to Atlantis, or it’s extraterrestrial.

But it’s most certainly not the US/Russia/China etc.

I chose to believe it’s an alien race that has mastered the time warp and can move a billion light years instantly.

You know...worm holes.

But we know for sure the US Military does not know what they are.

Uh, is that story biblical?

The fact they won’t identify themselves is in and of itself a huge threat. Intimidating carrier battlegroups at sea - huge threat. Violating military secure installations- major threat. Seizing and mutilating farm animals shows they have absolutely no regard for sovereignty.

They are much more than a mere threat

How did farm animals get into this? The gov hasn’t said anything about that.
