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.

Can't believe them either way so the smokescreen is complete.

I’m not sure where the lie is. Unless they actually captured the craft in the siting it’s unknown. Once you rule out everything known that’s what you get.

it has always been strange why they’d cover up any ET’s

even if totally-hostile ET’s bent on eliminating mankind and taking over the earth
were to be here giving direct orders to WashDC to destroy America,

the politicans wouldn’t be doing us much worse than they already are now

(humm.....come to think on it....???)

So we’re looking at Outer Limits s1 e3 Architects of Fear with maybe a little S1 e2 100 Days of the Dragon tossed into the mix.

The Deep State has three different groups on this topic:

(1) Total stonewall—no disclosure about anything.

(2) Limited hangout—some disclosure but protect the guilty and hide 95% of what is known.

(3) Total disclosure.

Mellon is in group 2.

Since 1947 Roswell.

The coverup predates that incident.

Lol - I can’t think of an issue that some commenter hasn’t ascribed to the “distraction” theory. So everything’s a distraction from everything else - that sure clears things up!

Very logical comment...but I can tell that you are trying to distract people by being logical and rational.;-)

3 earlier well known ones. There is a cemetary fairly local to me that local lore indicates once held the body of an alien. Whatever was there was disinterred by our feral government in the 40s, though the body had been buried sometime around 1900 or so IIRC.

I wonder how many similar stories you might find that were something only locals knew of across the country.
