If the Government Has UFO Crash Materials, It’s Time to Reveal Them
politico.com ^ | Christopher Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence.

Posted on 06/03/2023 8:54:30 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Since AARO was established, I have referred four witnesses to them who claim to have knowledge of a secret U.S. government program involving the analysis and exploitation of materials recovered from off-world craft. Other sources who, rightly or wrongly do not trust AARO’s leadership, have also contacted me with additional details and information about an alleged secret U.S. government reverse engineering program. Some have supplied information to the intelligence community’s inspector general, others directly to staff of the congressional oversight committees. As this process has progressed, and the credibility of these claims has grown, so too have my concerns. What if I’m helping to pry open a genuine Pandora’s box, releasing information that might prove destructive, destabilizing or for many simply terrifying? I’ve repeatedly had to ask myself: “Is disclosure in the best interest of the public? Am I doing the right thing working to bring what could be America’s most deeply buried secret to light?”

The most refreshingly clear guidance I have received came from Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), who is chair of the Senate Armed Services Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee and member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. When the opportunity presented itself during a meeting in the Senate, I asked, “You’ve launched an investigation that could prove aliens are visiting earth. What if the answer proves to be yes? Would you support sharing that information with the American people?” After all, AARO is not required to share its findings with the public, only Congress. Without hesitating she replied, “Of course! Why not?” I thought it was a great answer because I’ve always believed the public has a right to know the truth. However, after much reflection, I’ve also concluded the public needs to know the truth. I say this for the following reasons:

[...]

In conclusion, I believe it is in our interest to follow the facts of the UAP issue wherever they lead. All living things, all nations and corporations, can only survive by continuing to adapt to changing circumstances. But to do so we must know the facts. We can’t adapt to what we don’t perceive. Concealing such vital information, if indeed we are not alone, poses a huge barrier to understanding and successfully adapting to the world around us. Lies and disinformation are already polluting public discourse. We can’t have meaningful debates on policy if we cannot even agree on the basic facts.

Admittedly, disclosure would initially be shocking and disorienting, but we would of necessity modify our beliefs to accommodate a new understanding of the universe and our place within it. What is deemed possible technologically would certainly change, but if our government can reveal the truth of such a deep secret it will demonstrate that government can change as well. Maybe we can build on that, perhaps even mitigating the dynamic of our current, frighteningly polarized political process.

As Arthur C. Clarke, the brilliant author and inventor of modern communications satellites once said, commenting on the possibility of extraterrestrial contact: “Strangeness, wonder, mystery and magic — these things that not long ago seemed lost forever, will soon return to the world.” Some people will be afraid of change, as always, but change is inevitable and as always those who recognize and embrace it are the most likely to benefit. Thankfully, there are many reasons to believe that if UAP are manifestations of extraterrestrial intelligence, this stunning revelation can work to humanity’s advantage.

Demonic entities posing as aliens controlling our intelligence bureaus is about the only reasonable explaination for the Federal Govt’s ongoing betrayal of the US Constitution and peoples.

It seems that everyone agrees, so I guess there aren’t any UFO crash materials.

They won’t do it because it would prove to the masses that the Pols are not all-powerful and controlling as they would have you believe.

Whistleblowers do not trust AARO or NASA or any other government agency (with good reason), but are going directly to the classified briefings of the Congressional committees with their stories. As you may remember, the NDAA included a provision to release and/or indemnify anyone bound by NDA's when their accounts were given in classified briefings to Congress.

And people are coming out of the woodwork with their stories.

Think about it? With all of the loose lips that politicians have NONE have let this cat out of the bag for decades! And the only time that they get close to ‘revealing’ something there is generally another topic that they are trying to distract from! It’s a nice game that they play where the people are the suckers.....

My father said he’d believe in space aliens once one of them was a guest on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show”. Both my father and Johnny are gone now.

So I suppose it would have to be on Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show”. If that happens, someone please let me know. I don’t watch late-night TV anymore.

If there are fragments, they are likely metal. Metal alloy.

There is a vast number of alloys that exist. We haven’t really discovered more than a fraction of them, yet there are thick guides to alloys and their properties. We certainly haven’t discovered all of their extraordinary properties.

However, it is safe to assume that if the alien vessel is made of different alloys, it would be wise to invest a LOT of highly secretive research into their properties.

Secretive, because many of those interested in such technologies are of evil mind. Dictators, tyrants, aggressive nations, who would use them for nefarious purposes.

The “Gee willacres, ain’t that neat?” reaction of UFO fans is not enough to make up for it.

We actually need a warehouse to keep the Ark of the Covenant, to keep it out of the hands of the Nazis.

Some have suggested that the crashes are breadcrumbs.

Some have likened them to Trojan Horses intended to paint a deceptive picture of themselves.

Some have said that the technology of these entities is not designed to operate in our dimension (i.e., these beings are commonly thought to be from parallel dimensions, not from elsewhere in our galaxy)

I waver day to day as to whether I think Congress is really going to track down the crash retrieval artifacts or whether they will decide to bury their heads in the sand.

I am sure they are ticked off that they are told “you have no need to know” but they also may run away in fear since (as Chucky says) “you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you”.

They crash because they’re so shocked at what we’re doing to ourselves.

Politicians would be the LAST people to be told about this stuff for the reasons you mention.

This is why the Congressional committees responsible for this kind of stuff are so pissed.

They are still being kept in the dark.

It has been said that the government doesn't actually know anything because of FOIA exposure and whatever IS known is kept locked away by industrial contractors (like Lockheed, EG&G, and Raytheon).
