As a former U.S. Navy F/A-18 fighter pilot who witnessed unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) on a regular basis, let me be clear. The U.S. government, former presidents, members of Congress of both political parties and directors of national intelligence are trying to tell the American public the same uncomfortable truth I shared: Objects demonstrating extreme capabilities routinely fly over our military facilities and training ranges. We don’t know what they are, and we are unable to mitigate their presence.

Mysteriously, no UAP reports have been confirmed to be foreign so far. However, just this past week, a Chinese surveillance balloon shut down air traffic across the United States. How are we supposed to make sense of hundreds of reports of UAP that violate restricted airspace uncontested and interfere with both civilian and military pilots?
Here is the hard truth. We don’t know. UAP are a national security problem, and we urgently need more data.
*snip*
Last May, the House Intelligence Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation Subcommittee held the first UAP hearing in over 50 years. Intelligence officials testified that there were more than 400 reports of UAP, often tracked simultaneously by trained observers and multiple sensor systems, demonstrating technology that our military does not understand. Congress was briefed that incidents exist where there is sufficient data from pilots and sensors, but the case defies conventional explanation. The hearing marked a pivotal step forward to bring the topic of UAP out of the shadows and give it the urgent attention it deserves as a matter of national security.

“Or because it would harm the careers of someone in the military or government?”
Classifying stuff for that reason is supposed to be illegal. Least that’s what they always told me.
But there seems to be two sets of rules these days.
“I don’t trust them at all”
Me either... not even a little bit.
It’s just a matter of time before these unseen aliens will give us messages through the left wing media and government officials that we need to go hard left or else.
“I didn’t invent the usage of “whistleblower”... Congress did”
Yeah, I know. It’s been a trend lately with the left.
It looks like they’re trying to redefine the word. Polish up their turds a little.
Case in point Vindman.
It’s intended to be an insult to the military-industrial complex. It implies that the MIC is doing something illegal by withholding the truth from Congress and maybe even the American people.

The whistleblower terminology is correct—but you need to understand the UFO/UAP history to understand why.
The best author on this history is Richard Dolan:

Short version—there is no clear line of authority to cover-up this stuff. It is a “Deep State” operation—that has intentionally circumvented not just Congress but Presidents as well.
It looks like military contractors have taken over key elements of the coverup—beyond FOIA, beyond civilian or military oversight—with no constitutionally appropriate chain of command.
Whistleblowing is totally appropriate.
Stanton Friedman (famous UFO investigator) called it a “Cosmic Watergate”.
“Public might lose confidence in the military if they admit there are potential threats out there that they are helpless to address.”
Correct answer—particularly when billions of dollars are spent—while average citizens are being abducted from their bedrooms in the middle of the night or while hiking in National Parks.
This is not a narrative the military/industrial complex can tolerate.
Thx. Will check it out.
Yup/ cracks me up that the people who say these stories are all fabricated because no one has the Polaroid to prove it doesn’t realize that in the only situations where anyone had a chance to get a detailed photo, those photos BELONG to the government..... and for some reason, they don’t want to share.

All this would be by design. It’s not a new play. Think about CIA/Skunkworks. That was well over 50 years ago. Think manhattan project. Now, take away all the creepy, conspiracy, and supernatural stuff (such as finding downed ‘saucers’) and consider how important compartmentalization would need to be to keep new technological discoveries a secret. I’m not talking about the silicon microchip, which has obvious private sector applications. I’m talking about the need to keep technologies that make radar-defeating stealth seem like child’s play. Lips always get loose, and the chances of that increase exponentially as you multiply the number of groups by the number of people involved by the amount of documentation & cross communication would occur.
Of course, the real problem with a DEEPLY blackbox operation developing ridiculously capable technologies is whether they would go rogue with it.
Chinese spy balloons.
You may want to read the Wilson/Davis memo.

This stuff is as real as you are.
Yes. If the training standards are the same as the 1970’s.
