'It's been happening for years': Marc Rubio says UFOs have 'routinely' operated over restricted US airspace but America has no idea what they are or where they come from as Pentagon refuses to rule out three objects shot down over the weekend are 'aliens'

Republican Rubio tweeted: 'The last 72 hours revealed to the public what was happening for years, unidentified aircraft routinely operating over restricted US airspace.

'This is why I pushed to take this seriously and created a permanent UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena - equivalent to UFOs) task force two years ago.'

Rubio is the Vice Chairman of the US Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence and has long pushed for a 'destigmatization' on UFO reporting.

The object detected Sunday was described by defense officials as an unmanned 'octagonal structure' with 'potential surveillance capabilities' and strings attached to it.

VanHerck said that, unlike the Chinese spy balloon, all three UFOs gunned down over the weekend were of a similar size and speed.

He added that the since the Chinese balloon was found in late January, the US adjusted its radar so it could track slower objects. He explained that this radar adjustment, plus the heightened state of alert following the Chinese balloon, explains the frequency of UFO sightings.

'With some adjustments, we've been able to get a better categorization of radar tracks now,' he said, 'and that's why I think you're seeing these, plus there's a heightened alert to look for this information.'

VanMerck said the air force is still unsure how the three objects were staying aloft, as they currently have unknown propulsion systems. He added: 'We're calling them objects, not balloons, for a reason.'

I know we need to tread lightly if we know for sure they are not just balloons. They have been avoiding interaction for the most part. We really do not want to piss them off. We have no clue what they are truly capable of. This shoot first and ask questions later is the wrong approach.

Do not take counsel of your fears...... General George Patton

Rather than cringing in fear, a better course is to make them fear us

What better way for the globalists to distract and confuse the gullible by implying that these violations of American sovereignty are not repeated Chinese incursions but aliens from outer space.

Figures the aliens would pick the Biden administration as the best time to take over the world.

“The operative theory nowadays is that they—if they are even real—are extradimensional.”

They open a portal and slip through. And they ain’t our friends.

Why distract and confuse the gullible about Chinese incursion vehicles when you can just ignore them like the media did with Hunter’s laptop?

I don’t fear them at all, I fear our own primitive ignorant stupidity. Patton knew what he was up against Bert. We DO NOT. Being a bad ass and chest bumping is absolutely stupid at this point in the game.

I suggested that Biden was an alien/human hybrid...and now the aliens are pissed off with me.

How was I to know they would get so easily insulted?

Right now there are some very frustrated Air force pilots in Alaska who were tracking that Chinese balloon as soon as it approached US territorial waters and were never permitted to down it. Also anyone find it tlling that Biden would only allow the downing of these devices when they were over water so that it would no be likely that a complete recovery of the device would be made.

God says He’s gonna heat the world up during the Tribulation period. Man gets ahead of the narrative calling it “anthropogenic climate change”

God says there’s going to be a rapture of his people prior to his wrath being poured out on the earth. Man gets ahead of the narrative and claims “Aliens!”

Prepare for more gaslighting…

My vote goes to #1 on your list - While Americans were bickering over nonsense, China or Russia was developing a new technology.


Which they did long ago back in the 15th Century, or from many legends back before 12,000 BC. /s

I guess the bloodlines and their minions had to up the game since so many people were catching on to the other scripts. They had a good run though, what 75-100 years and it only took replaying the same BS 12, 15, 20 times for the public to start to clue in...

The real story here is not some nonsense about aliens from outer space - it’s the fact that our vaunted military has apparently countenanced aerial espionage by China for years or decades without doing anything to stop it.
