Awatchdog group seeking access to unidentified flying object footage has been rejected with the unambiguous message that, due to heavy classification, none of the government’s media on UFOs will be released.
The Black Vault reported this week that starting in April 2020 it sought to acquire all "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena" videos within the files of Naval Air Systems Command. Three such videos had already been leaked from government databases before being officially released by NAVAIR.
The division subsequently denied that request, citing no such videos in its possession. A request filed with the Office of Naval Intelligence was met with a similar response.
A third request filed with the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations was finally met with a comprehensive rejection, one that said "the requested videos contain sensitive information pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena and are classified and are exempt from disclosure in their entirety."
The agency also said: "The release of this information will harm national security as it may provide adversaries valuable information regarding Department of Defense/Navy operations, vulnerabilities, and/or capabilities. No portions of the videos can be segregated for release."
The Black Vault noted that the CNO offered an uncharacteristically thorough explanation for its rejection in what may have been an attempt to head off an appeal.
"While three UAP videos were released in the past, the facts specific to those three videos are unique in that those videos were initially released via unofficial channels before official release," the agency said, noting that "given the amount of information in the public domain regarding these encounters, it was possible to release the files without further damage to national security."
The Black Vault said it nevertheless "filed an appeal seeking the release of the videos denied."
The government has also bought up land where it’s claimed bigfoots live. Loggers have told stories about how land they were suppose to cut was suddenly bought up preventing further deforesting but the reasons why were all hushed up.
I don't think they're worried about the ETs, they're worried about what the releases show about our own capabilities and procedures.
That we are hopelessly behind.
Or lack thereof..........................🤔
I remember reading somewhere that Theodore Roosevelt created the Nat’l Park System to protect the Bigfoot “people”. Apparently, he had a run in with them during his one of his hunting forays.
No, I haven’t been drinking.
Ultimately if the unknown tech shown were of terrestrial origin, we'd already be up to our eyes in trouble. Since that's not the case, it's not worth worrying about, because it's beyond our ability to do anything about it.
“This UFO craze is comical.”
Listen and learn:

Some folks are not laughing.
I think he only heard a story about Sasquatches and don’t think he had an actual encounter.
“the fear that it would undermine the population’s respect for the authority and sovereignty of the state?”
Correct answer.
Yes, you are correct.
There is zero chance that any nation on Earth would have the observed technology and then not use it. Zero.
Depends on what you mean by "use". Cargo cults observed aircraft...

If the engineers are arrow & bowing, I ain't going.
Every weapon invented is eventually used.............
Yep. They won’t release them because most of them show secret US military aircraft under development, and they don’t want pictures out in the public domain yet.
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
I wholeheartedly agree.
“No portions of the videos can be segregated for release.”
meaning no still frames... they must be skeeerd sh!tless
Pure silliness. Someone found a way to make a buck doing it, great for them. Right at the moment when the WEF and globalists in DC are consolidating unbelievable power that has never existed in US government before, at the height of Covid, as they are crashing the economy and launching their great reset,…PRESTO… Suddenly Fox News is filled with F-18s chasing tic tacs. It’s a distraction for idiots. And for a people that has lost its religious faith in the recent decades, it’s a substitute for believing in something greater than themselves. Classic Jung psychology.
The stills would just create more questions than answers..................
I miss the old days when people just threw a hubcap in the air and took a photo.
