Frustrated lawmakers demand answers on UFOs
The Hill ^ | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 07/23/2023 12:43:10 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

Senior lawmakers are increasingly demanding that military and other government officials provide them with information about intelligence on unidentified flying objects (UFOs) or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).

The demands reflect frustrations on the part of some lawmakers that they are being kept in the dark about what’s known about UFOs and UAPs.

The lawmakers do not necessarily believe the government is hiding signs of extraterrestrial life from the public and congressional oversight. But they are frustrated they are not learning more about unknown objects flying in restricted U.S. air space.

“My primary interest in this topic is if there are … object[s] operating over restricted air space, it’s not ours and we don’t know whose it is, that’s a problem that we need to get to the bottom of,” said Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

[...]

“Right now, what I know is reliable people tell us that and we’ve seen objects operating over restricted military and national security airspace. They claim it’s not ours. They claim they don’t know whose it is. That’s like the definition of a national security threat,” he said.

“Either there’s an answer that exists and is not being provided, or there is no answer. Beyond that, I don’t want to speculate anything,” he added.

Rubio said he was familiar with the claims of David Grusch, a career intelligence officer who worked for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. He claims the federal government has retrieved “non-human origin technical vehicles” that have landed or crashed on Earth.

[...]

“One of two things are true. Either A, they’re telling the truth or some version of the truth or B, we have a bunch of people with high clearances and really important jobs in our government are nuts. Both are a problem. And I’m not accusing these people of being nuts. That said, that’s something we’ll look at and continue to look at seriously,” he said.

What if its China and not space aliens? Does that matter?

GOPe will do anything to avoid impeaching Biden
and other corrupt Democrats. They'll do anything but
but the job the voters sent them there to do.

Let's everyone look at UFOs and supposed space aliens.
Now, now don't bother with that Hunter Biden stuff.
Don't worry about the FBI's cover up of Biden/Democrat
Party corruption. Forget about it!

Just believe that aliens from outer space have ability
to travel hundreds perhaps thousands of light years
through interstellar space without mishap, only to
crash in New Mexico, USA or somewhere else. Amazing!

> It’s about unidentified aircraft in our secure training areas. <

Yes, that’s an extremely important concern. But Congress should be very clear about what they’re investigating. Drop the misleading term “UFO”. Use the term that you used: unidentified aircraft.

For years, you only seldom hear about “UFO’s”

That might be true for the public media, but from my vantage point this has been a fairly steady phenomenon. In the 1970s while working in Huntsville at the George C. Marshall Spaceflight Center, I heard frequent mention of it. After moving to Atlanta in 1975 I heard stories from retired fighter pilots. In the 1980s I worked for a company that made and installed equipment in airports, there I heard stories from pilots, tug rats, and apron traffic controllers. Also in the early 1980s I had a few FAA tower flight controllers tell me stories ... like something passing by a known SR-71 like it was standing still. They all told me that they would lose their jobs in they reported it.

I want to know why UFO sightings are so disproportionately in the Anglosphere ?

Maybe space aliens only speak English (like in the movies)

If it's a distraction, why is the DOD (and the MSM) trying to prevent any discussion of it?

The issue is being raised by military whistleblowers who risk their careers and pensions by going to Congressional intel committees to tell what the Pentagon is hiding.

Think about that. These pilots aren't trying to distract us.

And are you actually distracted from what Biden is doing? I'm not.

So, you are proposing that society just doesn’t have parallel tracks, that all things are linear and revolve solely around the White House? Different things simply cannot happen at the same time? Doesn’t that seem even slightly ridiculous to you?

It's always New Mexico. Aliens have crash-landed in Roswell, Aztec, and Dulce NM.

Private corporations own this country and everything in it including our military. They are the shadow government, and have been for a long time.

Our societies are more open than the others, so you hear about them in spite of all attempts at secrecy. Our news agencies used to be open and free, before they became the Propaganda Ministry.

Yep. And I think that's what we're running up against here.

The military-industrial complex that Ike warned us against.

What is amazing is that any discussion of this brings out the FR cavemen who think everything unknown is an outer-space alien.;-)

Yeah, I was basically speaking about the general public hearing this...

I’m not at all surprised...I believe there is probably much higher intelligence than ours out there, but I think the biggest reason it is being discussed publicly so much now is for distraction...

The aliens are either Canadians or they really like to ski.

Actually, there are reports of them in Missouri, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania. The earliest one was in 1941, and that one seems to have been in Missouri, but researchers don’t know for sure. They are also reported in Mexico, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. The Russians also claim recoveries. There was at least one incident in the UK. The ones in South America were recovered by the United States through force of arms if necessary.

Here you go.

Alien Space Ships do not exist.

Alien Life likely exists from a probability standpoint but there just as fkd as everyone else.
