After decades of it being a taboo topic, Congress is finally waking up to UFOs, and the Department of Defense is reviewing historical documents related to "unidentified aerial phenomena" dating back to 1945. *snip* "All the programs that they've run, all the data that they've amassed, the conclusions that they've drawn, and any materials that they may have recovered. *snip* "They also want answers on allegations that UFOs have in some way interacted with nuclear weapons. "A key thing in the Defense Bill is a sort of whistleblower protection. "So, in parallel with this going back and reporting on what...

The quote in the title comes from a new op-ed published at Politico by Ryan Graves, a Navy F/A-18 fighter pilot who was one of many military officers who encountered anomalous objects in our restricted military airspace off the coast of Virginia in 2014. In the article, he reviews some of the recent activity of balloons (or “objects” or “balloon-like entities” or whatever we’re calling them this week) in American airspace and the Pentagon’s response to them. Graves has plenty of experience with UFOs because “those damn things” had been plaguing his fighter squadron for eight months during the period...

A series of incidents involving the downing of several objects over North America that the Biden Administration refuses to identify but suggests had been commercial balloons has renewed debate over whether the United States is being forthcoming about data it collects on aerial objects that remain unidentified. Speaking at the Pentagon on Wednesday, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters that the unidentified objects were most likely to have been commercial balloons that the U.S. shot down using AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles, projectiles with an individual price tag of around $400,000. *snip* In addition to the warranted concerns by many...

Two Air Force veterans say they have testified to the federal government about UFOs that allegedly shot a test missile out of the sky and suddenly disabled 10 nuclear warheads with no explanation. Robert Salas, a former ICBM launch officer, and Robert Jacobs, another former Air Force officer, have recounted those experiences from the 1960s to the government’s new All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, the Daily Mail reported. *snip* Now AARO has reportedly heard testimony from Salas about an alleged 1967 incident, in which 10 nuclear missiles were inexplicably disabled for several hours at Montana’s Malmstrom Air Force Base after an...

A giant metal ball, around 1.5 metres in diameter, has appeared on a beach in Japan, astounding officials, residents and online spectators. . Picture: NHK World News ******************************************************* The giant metal ball, around 1.5 metres in diameter, appeared on a beach on Japan's south coast, astounding officials, residents and online spectators. After the ball was reported to authorities by a local resident on Tuesday morning, explosive experts quickly dismissed any immediate threat that it could be a mine, but are yet to uncover what the ball could be. Police closed off the area on Enshu beach in Hamamatsu city while...

At a time when growing Cold War anxiety about the Soviets ranged from psychological warfare to wholesale nuclear annihilation, the U.S. government worried about the prospect of a growing national hysteria. In the previous year, UFOs had begun to figure prominently in the public conversation. In April 1952, the popular magazine LIFE published a story titled “Have We Visitors from Space?” that promised to offer “scientific evidence that there is a real case for interplanetary saucers.” In July that year, newspaper headlines around the country blared reports of flying saucers swarming Washington, D.C. Between March and June that year, the...

The recent spate of incidents involving unidentified objects being shot down by US fighter jets has seen a surge of interest in the UFO phenomenon and the possibility of extraterrestrial visitation over the last few weeks. Just recently, a video of US President Joe Biden emerged which seemed to confirm that these objects were indeed extraterrestrial in nature. The clip, which showed Biden giving an official statement from a podium (presumably in the White House), quickly went on to attract a lot of attention on social media. "I am here today to inform you that a number of unidentified flying...

In the wake of the latest shootdown of an unidentified object over North American airspace, we now have audio recordings of the in-cockpit communications from the two F-16 fighter jets involved in yesterday afternoon’s intercept over Lake Huron. What’s immediately striking on listening to them, is that the pilots in question also seem to be perplexed as to what they are actually observing and the precise nature of the craft that they ultimately dispatched. The object was “decommissioned” over Lake Huron by a pair of 148th Fighter Wing “Bulldogs” F-16CMs. The fighters launched out of Madison, Wisconsin at around 10:30...

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...

UCLA’s SETI group will launch a new project on Tuesday that allows the public to assist scientists in classifying radio signals that could be signs of extraterrestrial life, a news release said. Participants will then be asked to select an image, provided by researchers, that closely resembles the radio signal they previously saw. The goal is to match the signals to the “common classes of radio frequency interference,” a news release said. Scientists with the group have observed about 42,000 stars and over 64 million radio signals and have technology that discards about 99.5% of the signals that are either...

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is forming an interagency group to address the recent spate of objects in the skies above North America, the White House announced Monday. "The president, through his national security adviser, has today directed an interagency team to study the broader policy implications for detection, analysis and disposition of unidentified aerial objects that pose either safety or security risks," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said at a White House briefing. "Every element of the government will redouble their efforts to understand and mitigate these events," he said. Kirby said the national security team's task is...

The pilots of US Air Force F-35 fighters sent to intercept the mystery object over Alaska on Friday say that whatever it was had been “interfering with the sensors of their aircraft” before they shot it down. Three unidentified objects have been spotted over North America in the past 10 days. The first, a giant airship “the size of three buses” is understood to have originated in China although the US and Chinese governments disagree about its exact purpose. While the Pentagon says it was a spy balloon, China says the monster airship was a civilian craft designed to monitor...

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

Things are getting sporty over the Greta Lakes this Sunday. First it was the FAA closing airspace over Lake Michigan while military planes conducted a patrol, now Canada has closed airspace over Lake Huron due to an “active air defense operation” somewhere over Tobermory, Ontario. ..... Snip..... Rep. Elissa Slotkin @RepSlotkin · Just got a call from @DeptofDefense — our military has an extremely close eye on the object above Lake Huron. We’ll know more about what this was in the coming days, but for now, be assured that all parties have been laser-focused on it from the moment it...

You think you’ve heard it all with the latest potential spycraft, but you haven’t heard anything yet. NORAD hasn’t ruled out space aliens.That’s what Gen. Van Herck said. We have the tape.US F-16 jets shot down another unknown object over Lake Huron today. The Pentagon said they have not ruled out extraterrestrial activity. “I haven’t ruled out anything at this point,” said Gen. Glen D. Van Herck. The UFOs not being balloons would be crazy enough, but things get even weirder when you hear a top US general admit that we don’t even know what is keeping these objects in...

All of you who had “UFO invasion” on your 2023 bingo card may now collect your prizes. After the United States shot down an “unidentified object” on Friday over Alaska, yesterday and today produced a cascading series of reports about strange objects being seen (and in some cases attacked) in the skies around the world. First, on Saturday, joint forces from the United States and Canada shot down another one over a remote region of Yukon in the northwestern part of the country. But just like the one over Alaska, this didn’t look like a balloon at first, and Canadian...

Good news, everybody. All those UFOs being shot down over the US and Canada might not be from China after all, leaving the possibility that it’s just an alien invasion on the table.According to the Chicoms, they have detected an unidentified craft over Rizhao and have scrambled jets in response, warning fishermen to stay alert if something comes crashing down out of the sky.MORE – Chinese authorities were preparing to shoot down a UFO.pic.twitter.com/ihpkBhVy3b— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) February 12, 2023That news was about an hour old as of this writing and no further news has been released on whether China successfully...

As RedState reported, another shoot-down has taken place, this time over Lake Huron in US airspace. That followed a frenzy over the last several days of intercepts of unidentified flying objects, with others downed over Alaska and Canada.What in the world is going on? We joke about it being aliens, but it’s not aliens, right? So why is the White House being so tight-lipped? Are we to believe the fighters that blew these things out of the sky weren’t able to tell what they were? The current dynamic is just weird. We could be on the brink of a hot...
