UFO Reverse-Engineering Project Should Be Made Public: Ex-Intel Official
Newsweek ^ | 6/3/23 AT 1:47 PM EDT | BY ANDREW STANTON

Posted on 06/06/2023 5:40:02 AM PDT by Red Badger

Aformer intelligence official is calling on the federal government to make information public about an alleged reverse-engineering project involving unidentified flying objects (UFOs).

UFO sightings have long piqued the interests of billions of people across the globe for centuries. Although these sightings are oftentimes easily explained—at times being space objects such as meteors or military equipment—they often lead many to ponder the potential of extraterrestrial life. Recent years have seen renewed focus on UFOs, with many calling for more transparency from the U.S. government about these sightings.

Christopher Mellon, a former deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Intelligence who specializes in UFOs, wrote in a Politico opinion piece published Saturday that he has received reports that the government has engaged in a "reverse engineering project" involving UFOs. He urged the government to make any records public, though these reports could not be independently verified by Newsweek.

Mellon wrote that he has referred four witnesses to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) who claimed to have knowledge about a secret government program "involving the analysis and exploitation of materials recovered from off-world craft," and that other sources have contacted him about an "alleged secret U.S. government reverse engineering program."

He gave a number of reasons why he believed any information about these alleged projects should be made public. Mellon said the American have "have a right to know the truth" about whether the government has reverse engineered UFO projects and that people "can handle" any information about extraterrestrial craft.

Disclosure of such information could also help global leaders "develop an effective deterrent" against an attack, he wrote, noting that there are no signals of "aggression."

Mellon also explained several scientific benefits to disclosing any information.

Has everyone forgotten about Bob Lazar?

I haven't. I recently watched an interview he gave to Joe Rogan and I have no reason not to believe him......

As far as reverse engineering, I don't think we have the technology yet to do it.

It’s been cleared for accuracy by the DOD (see post 5 above). Does that help?

It’s either aliens or we’ll soon have a global false flag event to unite the world as one, New World Order

This is so bogus.

This is Newsweak, which is part of mockingbirds who are pushing an agenda 24/7 so the question has to be why? Why are they pushing UFOs - excuse me "UAPs" at this time?

The government/media complex has lied to me for most of my adult life, so when they were denying the existence of UFOs my reaction was to believe they existed (and then I saw two of the things myself).

But now that they are pushing the idea I am inclined to not buy what they are selling here.

Why should we make public the reverse engineering that has the potential of giving us the competitive advantage in defense?

Exactly! So what is the underlying agenda here?

If we truly were a government of the people, by the people and for the people we would be privy to such much that is hidden from us. But we are not. Our elected officials won’t even tell us the truth about Epstein. lol

I'm in error once again.

I'm conflating this thread with another one that is linked to in post #19 below.

More apologies.;-)

Too many UFO stories today. Can't keep them all straight.

It is the story of the whistleblower in the Leslie Kean, Ralph Blumenthal article that was cleared by the DOD (DOPSR).

We know more about what’s on Hunter’s laptop than about alien spacecraft projects.........................

I know nothing about Hunter’s laptop, but have read a great deal regarding UFOs. The trick is separating fact from fiction.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed this or not, demons do not need exotic circumstances. Nearly half of our human population is demon infested.

They’re running out of boogeymen. There’s nothing left, but spacemen and deadly viruses.

The reason given to change the names from UFOs to UAPs was that some of these craft have the ability to go in and out of the water. Meaning, they are no longer “flying”. They have been observed going into and out of the ocean by the military. Specifically by NAVAL Aviators that fly off of carriers.

Now this former USAF whistleblower has come out stating/corroborating statements made by other people previously. This story was reported yesterday in the NY Times. By Elizabeth Vargas on News Nation. Then was picked up and reported on REDACTED.

The question is why was this most recent person allowed to do this. Meaning is this part of some Psy Op by our government to get us ready and unite us against a “common enemy of mankind” so to speak. Therefore, letting a one world government take over, etc. These are the story lines being discussed on various Rumble channels in the last 24 hours.

Check out the interview with the former USAF Intelligence Officer/Whistleblower on NEWSNATION.

I watched it this morning on YouTube. Frankly, I had never heard of News Nation until this morning. However, Elizabeth Vargas used to be on ABC News. She was at one point in time an actual investigative reporter.

REDACTED/Clayton Morris also covered the story last night/this am. Also watched that on YouTube this am.
Apparently, some well respected reporter with the NY Times published an article yesterday.
