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

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.

Haven’t read any of the comments, but if the battle is against the deep state I’m joining the aliens.

Scripture actually prophesies what appear to be two asteroid hits in the book of Revelation.

“Take us to your leader”

Reminds me of this old song from 1960 in which it is almost impossible to find lyrics.

Take Me To Your Ladder, I’ll see your Leader Later...”

Funny.

I never saw any form of UFO but knew one level headed young student assistant who saw, along with another girl on a Michigan vacation in the woods, a metallic UFO slowly emerge from a lake and hover in the air and then leave. “Well, I think we just saw a UFO.”

But my big question which occurred to me once again as I saw an old dvd ad for Taken by Spielberg (never saw it) with various people screaming in pain from aliens examining their bodies————

what are the aliens waiting for?

They have capabilities to move instantly from place to place, do not need jet or rocket nozzle propulsion, appear to have mastered anti-gravity and perhaps stealth invisibility. Our defense and weapons would be laughably ineffective against them.

I found totally convincing the military officer who testified that the entire row of silo nuclear missiles at his center went dead, one by one and were no longer under military control one night. And then went into armed, active and ready to fire mode for a few minutes. Deadly dangerous.

Ancient Aliens (I have all the dvds-—believe some and not others) had one man who said we of course know the aliens could be powerful enough to hurt us badly or to help us greatly. We don’t know which.
BUT he said (and I agree) there has never been a case which shows the aliens are trying to help us. NONE.

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.


Kind of goes to my way of thinking. It appears that Alien tech is sufficiently advanced that could do whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. So we have no control over it.

Why worry?

Perhaps they introduced Marxism and CRT into human society to ensure we never develop beyond a certain point? Or maybe even ensure we regress back to the Stone Age?

“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”

I’d like to know how many billions are there to be pi$$ed away around and in Ukraine.

As our technological capabilities advance there are always old dogmas and small ideas that get blown away. We live in a universe of wonders.

“Not likely”

Why, you think the Devil isn’t smart enough?

They aren’t ‘ships’. Some are unmanned probes, some are living beings. I’d advise against trying to kill or capture any of them. The least that could happen is embarrassment, the worst is unknown.
