The Pentagon is lying about UFOs
The Hill ^ | marik von rennenkampff

Posted on 05/01/2024 7:37:40 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

[R]ecently, the Pentagon released a congressionally-mandated review of U.S. government involvement with UFOs. The report, which is riddled with basic factual errors, omissions and a laundry list of historical distortions, leaves much to be desired. Christopher Mellon, the Department of Defense’s former top civilian intelligence official, took the UFO office to task in a scathing, 16,000-word analysis of the report.

Among the report’s many flaws is an egregious falsehood about a rigorous scientific study that the Air Force commissioned in the early 1950s to look into the thousands of UFO reports that it had received. According to the Pentagon’s UFO Office, this report, by the Battelle Memorial Institute, found that “all cases that had enough data were resolved and explainable.” That statement is demonstrably false. The study in fact characterized as “unknown” fully 33 percent of the UFO cases considered “excellent” — that is, those involving trained or multiple observers and with sufficient information to come to a conclusion. And Battelle employed a particularly high threshold for designating a sighting as “unknown,” requiring a group consensus among the evaluating scientists.

The Pentagon’s egregious misrepresentation of this analysis is of like kind with its so-called explanation for the Eglin Air Force Base incident. In short, the decades-long “nothing-to-see-here” approach to UFOs continues, unabated.

Critically, the Pentagon’s public stance contrasts with internal Department of Defense documents. For example, a directive disseminated last year by the Joint Chiefs of Staff noted that anomalous incidents are occurring around the world, including “in or near the territory…of the United States, of its allies and of its adversaries.”

With unknown objects exhibiting highly unconventional technology brazenly penetrating airspace around nuclear missile silos and other sensitive military facilities, the American public deserves truth, transparency and far more analytic integrity than the Pentagon is currently demonstrating.

They are slow walking this hoax, probably trying to figure how to tie in a mask mandate since the “solution” will be pretty much identical to the last hoax.

Psychadelics are now an accepted form of "therapy."

Langley AFB in Virginia was recently so plagued with unidentified "drones" that it had to start moving aircraft to other bases. Yet they still didn't try to end the invasion of the base airspace.

Mystery drones swarmed Langley Air Force Base for weeks (Washington Examiner)

It may be China, it may be hobbyists, it may be whomever...but it is still unidentified according to the Pentagon and Air Force.

Do you recommend psychedelics as a way to deal with unidentified drones invading our airspace?

“Christopher Mellon, the Department of Defense’s former top civilian intelligence official, took the UFO office to task in a scathing, 16,000-word analysis of the report.”

A Trump White House should put Mr Mellon in charge of putting together a new report, with a mandate that the DOD fire everyone in charge of the prevuous reports.

When out of 5,000 announcements from your government, 4,937 are lies or deceit, and 60 are mistakes, that leaves you with three honest statements.

Would you give any time or interest toward anyone or anything that deceives you 97% of the time? Yet, people clamor for what they have to say next because it's comedy. They just don't understand that yet. Unfortunately the ones laughing at the comedy are the ones lying to you 97% of the time.

Yep. The Pentagon has gone rotten to the core. And they wonder why no one wants to enlist.

Speaking of “Squirrels”, something really bad must be coming on the Biden Influence and Bribery saga that’s been going on for decades now. Hunter Biden is suing Fox News. That means we are being distracted from something awful about to hit.

Perhaps you are suggesting that the Pentagon leadership is taking psychedelics. If so, I think you may be onto something.

That would explain why the military has become so interested in rainbow flags and crossdressers.

I observe that conditioning the masses to the idea of “psychadelic therapy” is of a piece with formerly credible institutions pushing narratives of diabolical fantasy.
