When will scientists reject the government-fueled stigma that long hindered sober, objective study of UAP and grapple with the perplexing (and compelling) data in front of them?

US Government Has Been Dancing Around UFOS for 75 Years

The spectacle of the US military shooting down three unidentified objects in the space of a week has opened the door to baseless speculations and conspiracy theories, thanks in part to the government’s contradictory messaging, which has toggled between genuine alarm and casual dismissal.

Sadly, this looks a lot like what happened 75 years ago, when sightings of what became known as unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, led to a media circus that undermined legitimate inquiry into what is now known simply as unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP.


quote:

Government representatives found the collective obsession with UFOs deeply frustrating. In public, they dismissed the reports, arguing that ordinary citizens, their imaginations inflamed, had mistaken weather balloons, jet planes and meteorites for extraterrestrial craft.

Yet in private, high-ranking officials acknowledged that some sightings, particularly those reported by military pilots and radar, could not be so easily dismissed. In the fall of 1947, General Nathan Twining, then head of the Air Force Materiel Command, authored a memo on the subject. Reviewing classified data, he concluded that “the phenomena is something real and not visionary or fictitious.”

By “phenomena,” Twining was referring to craft that moved at extraordinary speeds and displayed “extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly in roll), and motion…” These aerial vehicles, he reported, generally left no trail and rarely made any noise. They behaved in ways that defied conventional explanations.
Twining, who would go on to become chief of staff for the US Air Force and eventually chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was extremely circumspect in his assessment. Notably, he did not speculate about extraterrestrials and instead worried that a foreign nation could be responsible.


quote:

The Air Force’s “Project Sign,” begun that same year, studied the phenomena more closely. An initial memorandum — known as the “Estimate of the Situation” — seriously entertained the possibility that at least some of the sightings might be interstellar craft. But leaders of the Air Force didn’t take kindly to this unsettling conclusion. They remanded the memo and ultimately shut down Project Sign, replacing it with “Project Grudge.”

The new initiative was not a dispassionate inquiry, but a deliberate attempt to quell public anxiety. One scholarly account has described it as a “a public relations campaign designed to persuade the public that UFOs constituted nothing unusual or extraordinary.”


quote:

In 1952, after ground observers and radar picked up fast-moving mysterious objects over the nation’s capital, Major General John Samford, director of intelligence for the Air Force, held a press conference . He bluntly spoke of “credible observers” reporting “relatively incredible things.”


quote:

But such incidents, impossible to explain and posing no obvious threat to the US and its allies, increasingly took a back seat to dealing with the Soviet Union. Through the later 1950s and 1960s, “Project Blue Book,” the successor to Project Grudge, successfully quelled the nation’s obsession with flying saucers. Increasingly, UFOs became a risible punchline, akin to Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.

Former Chief For Defense Contractor That Ran Area 51 Claimed Knowledge Of Recovered ‘Flying Saucer’ And ‘Live Being’, As Congress Looks To Uncover Details Of Alleged Illegal UFO Programs


quote:

Alfred O’Donnell, a senior manager of EG&G, the defense contractor that managed Area 51, claimed that “they did have a flying saucer that had been recovered from New Mexico,” and a “live being” according to investigative journalist George Knapp, who interviewed him on numerous occasions.

According to Knapp, O’Donnell, when speaking about the ‘being’ told him: “We didn't know what it was…To tell you the truth, we couldn't communicate with it. In the beginning, we didn't know what it was, we didn't know where it was from. And we didn't know what to do with it.”

Knapp added that O’Donnell compared the being’s appearance to former Presidential nominee Ross Perot, unlike the classical grey-looking alien. Knapp also shared a story about a former female employee of defense contractor Holmes & Narver who allegedly had knowledge about "crashed saucers, recovered materials, and what sounded like a Roswell-type incident." Before Knapp was scheduled to speak with her, the woman was intimidated by unknown agents, which caused her to cancel the meeting. Even after two decades, she continued to refuse a meeting.


quote:

In the early 1990s, former Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd, who was chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, and the late Senator Harry Reid, who would later serve as Senate Majority Leader, tasked D'Amato with investigating the topic. After investigating and visiting Area 51, D’Amato was unable to verify claims relating to crashed saucers but according to Knapp thought it “entirely feasible, that this UFO cover-up exists within a private company, a company”, such as Lockheed Martin, EG&G or Northrop Grumman.


quote:

Speaking to Liberation Times, Jeremy Corbell commented: ‘Credible people have given accounts of crashed flying saucers recovered by the United States Military for decades. On face value - these claims seem implausible; almost comical. How could craft of such advanced and exotic origin suddenly become nonoperational or experience critical failure over the deserts of New Mexico - and numerous other locations? ‘This continued narrative has always bothered me. However - these accounts increasingly appear to be true and factual. With each step towards the heart of this matter - I have found verifiable evidence that this is indeed exactly what has happened. That our government has put into place rapid-response recovery and isolation teams - and well articulated and mobilized programs to deal with downed UFOs as well. If you are unaware - it’s time to catch up. ‘The presence of UFOs traversing our skies for generations represents one of the closest guarded secrets of our time. The implications and fears that cause the aura of secrecy surrounding this mystery relates to the derivative technology exploitation programs that have emerged - as well as - concerns about the development of weapons of mass destruction based on reverse engineering of these non-terrestrial technologies. ‘The real question is - WHY does the coverup of these events persist? WHY are witnesses routinely silenced through threat of reprisal or personal harm? ‘The answer to this is actually pretty simple. Until we know what we’re dealing with - this is a new technological race. A silent and invisible Cold War. And the winner takes all.

‘This technology can change the world - but the world will certainly change when consensus reality catches up with actual reality - and it’s widely understood that the builders of these machines are from somewhere else. Then - and only then - will we begin to see the true nature of our reality a bit more clearly.’
