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.

I find it hard to believe things these days.

Problem is, I also find it hard to dismiss things these days.

All I know is that’s there’s been a whole lot of lies, blowing things out of proportion, taking rights away lately.

“Senator Marco Rubio, the vice chair of the Senate Select Committee overseeing intelligence that issued the report”

The Military is not going to tell Rubio what’s going on. He’s a Republican and it’s above his paygrade.

They also won’t tell the President either. I know that because I saw it on Independence Day. :-)

If the sightings exist at all and I have my doubts — it is likely a result of testing by our military. The ones that know won’t admit it and most politicians are not privvy to the information.

I believe there are intelligent life forms out there, but I am hesitant to take the word of a US government agency as verification. I can’t forget all the lies of The Great Voter Fraud of 2020, and let’s not forget the COVID quagmires.

Dirst inflation, then UFOs. Can mood rings be far behind? The '70s are back.

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

Objects that travel from zero-Mach 20 in seconds, hover stationary in mid air, and then change direction instantly. They leave no exhaust and create no sonic boom. And they can go underwater. He spent some time debunking all of the rational explanations (optical illusions, clouds, weather balloons, etc.).

He seemed to think they were drones of some sort but that nobody on Earth, not the Chinese, Russians, not us, are yet capable of this tech.

They call them threats and say that the threat is increasing.
What damage have they done? Freaking out pilots and radar operators
doesn’t sound like a serious threat to me.
Have they killed or injured anyone or damaged any equipment?

If they don’t know what they are or where they come from calling them a threat is just a WAG.

I’ve always thought a giant astroid takes us out or Earth simply exits orbit.

They are not of this Earth. They can take over or exterminate us anytime they so desire.
Most likely they are observing us like bugs in a jar.

BS:

What has changed in the past thirty years?

What changed is that the population requires “more” in order to get them to “submit.” The threat of extra terrestrial aliens is about the pinnacle of scare tactics.

Any “alien” culture that could cross the space between planets would have the ability to squash us like bugs. And how does this “threat” get communicated? Are they saying we are “talking” to these folks?

Pure BS.

Jacques Vallée came to the conclusion they were demonic.

President Brandon tells me that they are concerned if we are going to do something about global warming or are they going to have to punish us.

I have my doubts that anything can be transported the vast distances through space. At the present time the only thing that makes sense to me is that they are manifestations of spiritual entities.

The trick will be in determining if they (or which ones) are demonic and which are angelic.

Alien: “Take us to your leader!”

Brandon: “Trunalimunumaprzure”

Alien: “I said, take us to your leader!”

Brandon: “Asufutimaehaehfutbw”

Alien: “My universal translator must be broken. Really, who is this guy? is this some sort of Earther humor?”
