UFOs are the story of the century — wake up, America! (Rear Admiral (Ret.) Tim Gallaudet)
The Hill ^ | Rear Adm (Ret.) Tim Gallaudet

Posted on 08/02/2023 8:35:33 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Last week, I had a front-row seat at the hearing of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee’s Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), also known as UFOs. The three witnesses provided extraordinary testimony on their observations of aerial craft with performance characteristics far beyond those of modern aircraft, as well as knowledge of a hidden U.S. government crash retrieval program of such vehicles and their nonhuman operators.

The witnesses were former officers in the U.S. military with stellar service records. Their message to Congress was that we are not alone, we possess technology unlike anything available in the public or private sectors, and the U.S. government has covered up this earth-shattering information for decades.

[...]

As a retired U.S. Navy flag officer, I can attest to the integrity and authenticity of the two pilots who testified: retired Commander David Fravor and Ryan Graves. I have served on three aircraft carriers and count many Naval aviators as close friends. These two witnesses are the real deal.

So is David Grusch. As a Navy information warfare officer, I worked closely with the intelligence community and Grusch’s former command, the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. I too have been read into special access programs, and I understand how Department of Defense classification systems and authorities work. His testimony is 100 percent credible.

It may take time for society to come to grips with this historic hearing, but we will be best served by immediately responding as follows:

1) The U.S. Congress should continue to demand the Department of Defense and intelligence community disclose UAP information, data, and materials to the public.

[...]

2) The U.S. government should show leadership in international scientific studies of UAP.

[...]

3) The U.S. research community should significantly expand the scientific study of UAP.

[...]

How arrogant to believe we are the only species that has developed a means for travel between celestial bodies. Now that we are finding out otherwise, we must demand disclosure of what the government knows. Instead of staying asleep at the wheel, we should wake up as a society for the safety, security, and scientific advantages that can be gained

Well, it’s not as common a name as Smith or Jones, that’s for sure.

George Noory gives pathetic interviews—not worth the time.

Art Bell was a master of the art—in his day.

It’s the story of some century, maybe, but not this one.

Participating world govm’ts could likely make a hoax seem very real, with the considerable aid of their main media lackeys.

Why? To bring about world panic among the masses, pretty much everyone, and then it could be “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

Then, keep the hoax going to bring on the One World Government to effecively deal with the aliens...and while they’re at it, implement the digital IDs, CBDC, etc.

And for the most part that’s as far as anything went. It’s over. Nothing more to say. Let’s all move on.

And THEY were afraid of societal breakdown, collapse of institutions, and rioting in the streets.

Instead, we sort of looked up from our phones, said "hey, that's pretty cool", and then went back to our phones. There were some pretty funny memes we had to share.

It looks like “disclosure day” will have Freepers yelling “squirrel” and young folks saying “whatever” while taking another bite of their marijuana cookie.

There is no way to convince the hard core “squirrel” crowd this stuff is real unless the flying saucers landed on their heads.

We are hitting peak cynicism here.

It’s OK.

Everyone doesn’t HAVE to believe you.

You’ll still be you. It’ll be OK.

I was reading an interesting UFO book and the author had a great comment about homo sapiens.

Most of us follow along with the crowd, do what we are told, believe what we are told and are cogs in the machine.

A few of us (I raise hand) are the “troublemakers” who question every cultural assumption, insist the emperor has no clothes, and subscribe to a wide range of “conspiracy theories”.

Both groups are important for our development.

The “normals” are the glue that hold society together.

The “troublemakers” are the innovators who create new ideas that lead to the improvement of the human condition for future generations.

So—everything is good. To each his own.

Versus passive-aggressive postings of a 'cycle of grief' graph?

Well, at least you noticed the graph.;-)

I knew of a guy once who got laid off from his job and he would still drive to the office each morning and just sit in his car in the parking lot. The security guard, who knew him, would go over to him each morning and try to tell him that he couldn't do that, that he was scaring people. And my friend would look at the security guard and say, "What are you trying to tell me? I work here."

Turns out the guy hadn't even told his wife that he had been laid off. Security had to call the wife and get her to convince him not to keep driving to the office each morning.

And, frankly, it's not like this guy was crazy. He just couldn't accept that he'd been laid off (his entire department had been cut).

Apparently his wife eventually convinced him because he got another job and life returned to normal.

I joke about denial, but it is VERY common.

I can see how the guy coming to sit in the parking lot each day would scare people, thinking maybe he was about to come in and start shooting.

This was a long time ago, but, yes, that's always a fear.

Nowadays, they would call the cops and carry you off in a straightjacket.

“Squirrel! That was my first thought.”

That’s also the first thought of others hereon - about any one of dozens of news stories that are supposedly created to distract from any one of dozens of other news stories.

The funny thing about people in denial isn’t that they won’t “believe”...it is that they won’t “consider.”


Yep. “Squirrel” is the standard reaction.

“Turns out the guy hadn’t even told his wife that he had been laid off.”

There are a lot of other cases where the guy accepts that he has been laid off but still puts on the work clothes every morning and then just goes to a local park or something during the “work day” to avoid telling his wife what has happened.

If they can get a new job relatively quickly they might get away with it—and in some cases save their marriage.

Until someone shows me a dead alien body or spacecraft (which I guarantee you will never happen), then this remains pure political BS, misdirection and subversion, designed to distract the sheeple from everything else happening.
****************************************************
You’re more easily convinced than me.

Even if I am abducted out of my car and beamed up to a strange flying vessel hovering over it and then strapped to a table with bright lights shining on me while a horde of “space aliens” surrounds me I still won’t believe in them. I’ll just wonder what hallucinogen the government jabbed me with.
