Senator John Kennedy briefing regarding the UFO that US military shot down this weekend. (video 7:44)
youtube.com ^

Posted on 02/14/2023 11:32:55 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Takeaway from the video:

The government doesn't know what we're dealing with at this time

These objects are not new. They've been around a long time, at least since 2017 ("last week we were told 2019").

Here's a quote from transcript at the 4:14 mark at youtube:

"What I took away from from the briefing today more than so than the briefing last week is that this has been going on for a long, long time, at at least 2017 and last week we were told 2019, um, that's what I took away from today. Thanks guys appreciate it...LOCK YOUR DOORS TONIGHT."

"We have unity and confusion, yeah, lock your doors."

0:03·the remnants are in very difficult
0:06·terrain low temperatures
0:09·lots of inclement weather and they're
0:11·looking but they haven't been able to
0:13·find them except for these spotlights
0:16·the nation
0:18·well I I think that
0:22·give them where we are and the
0:24·impression that
0:25·that this is some sort of
0:29·circumstances that's happened in the
0:32·last couple of weeks I think at a
0:34·minimum our Director of National
0:36·Intelligence
0:38·should should go in front of the
0:40·American people and explain what we know
0:43·what we don't know without without
0:46·divulging any classified information but
0:49·this it's clear to me this is not a
0:51·recent
0:52·recent phenomenon then why do you think
0:55·the administration waited until now to
0:57·start bringing this to life
0:59·I don't know Roger Marshall said he feel
1:02·s fear-mongering it's intentional
1:03·fear-mongering I don't know I don't know
1:05·I just know that that going into this
1:09·the last two hearings I had the
1:11·impression that this was uh something
1:14·that that had happened over the last two
1:18·weeks and that's not accurate this has
1:20·been going on a long time
1:23·as to why they're shooting them down now
1:24·they did not yeah some are saying that
1:27·it's a wagging of the dog to improve
1:29·approval ratings I don't care to
1:31·speculate on that I I just know that uh
1:36·um we need some more transparency I
1:39·understand the need
1:40·for for National Security Secrets but uh
1:45·now that this cow is out of the barn
1:48·the president and the Director of
1:51·National Intelligence needs to address
1:53·it
1:54·they need to explain to the American
1:56·people if they know and I'm not sure
1:58·they know if they know they're not
2:00·telling us what these things are
2:03·who put them up there and do they pose
2:06·the threat to the American people and if
2:08·the answer is no how do they know that
2:12·um what's your assessment do you feel
2:13·like there's a threat learning what
2:14·you've just learned do you feel like the
2:16·threat level is low or
2:19·the only thing I feel confident saying
2:21·right now is that
2:24·if you are confused you understand the
2:28·situation perfectly
2:31·um
2:32·what do you think about Nikki Haley
2:34·announcing that she wants to be the
2:36·nominee of your party for president I
2:38·think that competition makes all of this
2:40·better
2:41·and I also think here's my prediction
2:45·on the presidential election
2:48·the experts will be wrong
2:51·even if you can't tell us what it is can
2:53·you tell us whether they have informed
2:55·you as to the balloon's ability to
2:57·intercept Communications whether it be
2:59·radio communications or
3:00·Telecommunications
3:01·well it's this is public information the
3:04·Administration has said that
3:08·somehow our military and our
3:12·intelligence Community were able to
3:16·jam the communications of the spa
3:19·balloon
3:20·in terms of of it being able to relay
3:22·information to other third parties
3:24·including but not limited to do China
3:26·I've read that in the paper but I
3:28·haven't heard them say that just that
3:30·one balloon or all of the objects have
3:32·visibility just that one balloon let me
3:34·emphasize let me say it again
3:37·this has been going on for a long time
3:41·um
3:43·we we know some of the objects
3:47·others we think we probably missed
3:50·and we don't know what most of them are
3:56·still having a lot of questions yes
3:59·yes
4:00·we have we have unity and confusion
4:03·thanks guys did you learn anything
4:05·significant Beyond what's been reported
4:07·in the news detail
4:08·uh yeah I learned a little bit I can't
4:11·talk about all of it but I I what I took
4:14·away from from the briefing today more
4:17·than so than the briefing last week is
4:20·that this has been going on for a long
4:22·long time
4:25·at at least 2017 and last week we were
4:30·told 2019
4:33·um
4:35·that's what I took away from today
4:37·thanks guys appreciate it lock your
4:40·doors tonight
4:45·um
4:48·we have unity and confusion yeah
5:16·lock your door
5:22·[Music]
5:35·sorry thanks
5:43·um
5:54·so two things they just um first I just
5:59·want to compliment the Alaska forces
6:01·they have been really really really busy
6:03·okay you may have seen the news Russian
6:06·Bear bombers and Fighters
6:08·try to get into our Aid is last night in
6:12·Alaska we went and intercepted those
6:14·guys okay so huge shout out these are
6:17·not easy missions they're complicated
6:19·missions whether it's tracking and
6:23·intercepting a balloon or tracking and
6:25·intercepting Russian Bear bombers and
6:27·Fighters the men and women who are
6:29·serving Alaska are doing an amazing job
6:32·exceptional job
6:34·I continued press the administration on
6:37·being more transparent there's a
6:39·difference
6:40·personally I've been getting very good
6:42·briefings from the military General van
6:44·hurk and his team as it relates to
6:47·operations particularly in Alaska but
6:48·throughout this the administration needs
6:52·to be more transparent and by the way
6:53·that was a bipartisan view down there
6:57·and it's pretty simple they can say what
6:59·they know
7:01·what they don't know and don't reveal
7:03·sources and methods that's what the
7:06·American people want
7:07·when you don't provide information and
7:11·there's a dearth of information it can
7:13·lead to Wild speculation it can lead to
7:17·unfounded fears and then the other big
7:20·issue that I think everybody agrees with
7:21·and general van hurk has been talking
7:23·about publicly
7:25·for the last two years and from the
7:26·armed services committee we have to fix
7:28·our domain awareness challenges what
7:32·does that mean we have to have systems
7:34·and capabilities that can pick up a
7:37·slow-moving balloon that can pick up a
7:40·Hypersonic missile that's traveling you
7:43·know

Here is the link—you can read it for yourself:

https://www.congress.gov/117/meeting/house/114761/documents/HHRG-117-IG05-20220517-SD001.pdf

It is the written notes of Eric Davis on his 2002 meeting with Admiral Wilson where they discuss (among other things) the crash retrieval program and where the craft are kept.

It was placed in the Congressional Record by Congressman Gallagher.

The memo was never supposed to be disclosed publicly—however it was found in the estate papers of Astronaut Edgar Mitchell—so the chain of custody is simple and clean.

I’ve seen it now.

Looks to me that that it’s Davis’ word against Wilson’s - from what I’ve seen the latter denies the meeting ever happened.

(Edgar Mitchell was a very interesting and thoughtful man, but I don’t thoroughly trust his judgment, either.)

Wilson is subject to a national security non-disclosure agreement.

He says in the meeting that if it ever leaks he will deny everything.

That is exactly why the whistleblower legislation that passed last year is critical.

Congress can give the Admiral the protection he needs to come clean.

Edgar Mitchell had custody of one of several copies of the notes.

That is his only role in this matter.

Let me know when he does.

‘Extraordinary claims’, and all that.

Once you understand the full context of the memo it would be an extraordinary claim to believe it is not valid.

The full context (lot to learn here—but if you are really interested you can read it):

Our country is being run by the CIA and the DOD and we get either 1% of the real story or we get a total lie and misdirection.

The sane rule of thumb is: If the government says it and the media reports it, then it's a lie.

I’ll look at it. But I’m a hard sell. People believe all sorts of things - even Arthur Conan Doyle, a very intelligent and highly educated person, was led to believe in lots of nutsy things - even to believing that photos of paper dolls proved the existence of fairies.

And there are all sorts of people who have agendas, now more than ever.

What makes this situation different is that we are not talking about one or two people “believing” something—we are talking about dozens of highly intelligent people with solid records of service working this issue for decades.

Context matters.

For all you know, they could all be in a conspiracy to confuse the entire issue.

“conspiracy to confuse the entire issue”:

That is an example of an “extraordinary claim”.

These documents go back decades and decades and involve dozens if not hundreds of people.

People are suckered into others’ conspiracies all the time, without even knowing they’ve been suckered. Just look at our recent political history.

The claims of having retrieved nuts-and-bolts craft began at a time when extraordinary scientific exploration and discovery were being done, with a lot of attendant secrecy and often rather wise and understandable paranoia (and frequently less than benign policies).

I haven’t seen anything that PROVES to me that we’re being visited by little outer space guys and that all of this couldn’t be something else and very different.

Forget the “outer space guys”—that is not what is being discussed here. That is the “squirrel” that keeps folks distracted and confused (and feeling safe).

What is being discussed is non-human intelligence craft.

The craft exist—but claims they are from “outer space” are indeed pure speculation—and imho unfounded speculation.

I don’t have clearance—so of course I have neither seen or touched them.

In fact—I have never seen a legitimate UFO.

I have only seen one moose family for that matter.
