Are aliens real?' Fox News host's UFO question tongue ties Trump's ex-director of national security

David Edwards January 15, 2023

Fox News host Pete Hegseth posed the question during an interview about UFOs. "Treat us like an adult here. You've seen the intel," Hegseth said. "Are aliens real?"
"Well, um, I can't talk to you, uh, about, you know, uh, uh, any potential alien life, um, uh," Ratcliffe replied. "So I'll just leave it at that."

Notice no firm no (like some recent journalistic pieces have suggested)
Should have asked him “Do we share this planet with a non-human intelligence”…

So the UAP report dropped last month mentioning balloons and balloon like entities (see below) as sources for UAP sightings

A few weeks later we get all these balloons in the sky generating buzz from the media (a narrative is being created). The big white balloons may also be envisioned as giant tic tacs…



Or perhaps weather balloons…

Don’t be fooled again…

What the Chinese Spy Balloon Has to Do With the Pentagon's UFO Obsession

---

quote:

---

The Pentagon has used the possibility of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) being secret Chinese or Russian spycraft to push for more military funding. The fact is, many of the UAPs that the government and private pilots have reported over the years are balloons, according to reports that claim to have categorized some of the sightings. This means that there are balloons of unknown provenance floating in American airspace all the time.

---

quote:

---

Congress has tasked the Pentagon with investigating hundreds of reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP), and has uncovered hundreds of sightings. The Chinese balloon floating above Montana points to what might be the most plausible explanation for the recent rash of sightings. In its initial report on UAPs, the Pentagon noted that "UAP PROBABLY LACK A SINGLE EXPLANATION," and said that one UAP was "airborne clutter, specifically a deflating balloon." It also stated that some sightings came "from known aerial objects such as weather balloons, high-altitude or super-pressure balloons, and wildlife," adding that as it learns more about the behavior of known balloons, it can "pre-assess UAP reports to see if those records match similar events already in the database."

---

quote:

---

In January, the AARO issued a report that put the total of reported UAP sightings at around 510. According to the report, 163 of these were “characterized as balloon or balloon-like entities.” During a DoD press conference late Thursday night, a reporter asked about the 163 balloon-like sightings and if what’s floating above Montana is some kind of advanced spy system.

Remember all this when skeptics tell you China (these events) and Russia (Ukraine) have physics defying tech

Posting here for completion:

Most of the UAP community has been pointing to March 2023 as a time of big events pending (reference big thread)

Evolving allegations of exotic material/craft/reverse engineering currently in possession of defense contractors. At some point (Nixon admin) the government transferred this material to private contractors to escape oversight. Over time these illegal programs have gone dark black. Some feel that Congress is currently aware of this, and trying to figure out the best way to address this. An amnesty/protection policy is being rolled out to protect “whistleblowers”

There are rumblings of a massive Civil War going on within both the intelligence community and the department of defense on this issue. There is a faction that wants all of this information /technology to see the light of the day. The opposing faction wants this to remain out of public view in the dark.

The recent / delayed UAP report (01/2023) made very specific mention to balloon and “balloon like entities” accounting for many prior sightings (preceded the events of the last 7 days)

In addition to whistleblower protections, the new legislation reclassified the way data was collected and tagged. Previous sensor systems treated UAP as outliers and basically ignored the data points. Any information that was not an ICBM or cruise missile was essentially ignored (improve signal to noise for conventional war fighters)

With that background:

Shortly following a state of the union where uncle Joe resolves to be tough with China, we have a Chinese balloon that is detected (with sensors now looking for “outliers”). Uncle Joe scores political points for blowing shite out of the sky. Media maligns Trump pointing out objects can be retroactively dated in airspace going back to 2017

The media gets whipped into a frenzy, quickly ready to dismiss ALL UAP wholesale as balloons from China.

My sense is that the faction that opposes release of UAP information is pouncing on this as an effort to poo poo the growing interest from the public in UAP.

I have eluded in the bigger thread to the fact that the UAP topic is complicated. There are likely multiple sources for objects being seen in the sky, ranging from:

man-made sources/conventional technology
Man-made, exotic/black projects
man-made, reverse engineered, deep black, unacknowledged projects
Others tech

I am beginning to wonder if the reverse engineered technology does not belong to a nation state. Could a defense contractor or private industry have a fleet of craft and technology that is completely off the books? Could some of these drones/objects also be part of this? This could explain why it may be interacting /toying with our military. Our aviators have claimed that the military would not test experimental craft against itself. What about a contractor who felt it had invincible technology, and clocking capabilities? What about a breakaway civilization?

Below are pretty decent listens/ critiques of the balloons and objects from the perspective of the UAP community:

28 - Need to Know - Chinese Balloons? (02-10-23) Need to Know (Coulthart & Zabel) 1.4K Likes 21,238 Views Feb 11 2023 #NeedtoKnow

IMPORTANT: This episode of "Need to Know" was recorded after the downing of the Chinese surveillance balloon off of South Carolina, and within two hours of posting, the Alaska shoot-down took place, followed quickly by the Yukon shooting. While we are working on an episode that will specifically address these fast-breaking stories, we do believe this episode — #28 "Chinese Balloons" — has plenty of important and original material in it. Please give it a listen as the analysis of the Chinese balloon excuse is important background for a discussion of Alaska and Yukon.

The UAPs travel 60x the speed of sound. If they want to avoid being shot down, they can outrun anything we've got.

Chinese balloons are actually low-level technology compared to the true UAPs.

UAPs appear near nuclear sites and historically have increased activity during time of conflict.

Hypothesis: UAPs are highly active now as we are in a danger zone of WW3. Aging and unstable Putin is capable of launching nukes. UAPs would intervene if this happens to avoid mutual assured destruction wiping out our planet.

Just a theory...

Statement For the Press and Public Regarding Recent UAP Shoot-downs Updated: 3 days ago

---

quote:

---

When the New York Times story of Dec 16, 2017 failed to enervate Congress to engage on the issue, I contacted some former colleagues on the staff of the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services Committees, introducing them to Mr. Elizondo. Subsequently, we facilitated introductions to a handful of brave U.S. Navy aviators willing to speak out, including Cmdr. Dave Fravor and Lt. Ryan Graves and Lt. Alex Dietrich, who were able to provide compelling first-hand testimony about the extent of the UAP issue. The Navy was notably helpful while the Air Force remained notably unhelpful, if not hostile, to inquiries on the subject.

---

quote:

---

Discussions with the Intelligence and Armed Services committee staff led to a request by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence for a formal DNI report on the UAP issue. The resulting preliminary assessment delivered in June of 2021 identified 143 military UAP incidents since 2004. More than half the incidents were validated by multiple sources. Although a striking number, it was but a fraction of the actual total. Fearing it might damage their careers, reporting UAP encounters was until very recently always the exception rather than the rule among military personnel. Even among the civilian populace, we know that 90% of the time UAP sightings are not reported. Notably, USAF F-22’s were operating in the same training areas as the Navy aviators, yet, despite having superior sensor systems, they were not reporting UAP that must have been detected by their radars. In fact, the preliminary assessment provided to Congress was almost completely devoid of information from the U.S. Air Force despite the fact that the Air Force (as a department which also oversees U.S. Space Force) has far more aircraft and sensor systems than the Navy as well as the responsibility for supporting NORAD. It is my understanding that NORAD did not include in the ODNI report any of the thousands of “Uncorrelated Tracks” that its radars identify each year over North America. To be sure, most are flocks of geese or private planes with malfunctioning transponders etc., but there are also more serious cases that the Air Force did not report, including, it now seems, cases where U.S. and/or Canadian Air Forces scrambled fighter aircraft to intercept UAP.

By last May, when the House Intelligence Committee held an open public hearing on the UAP issue the number of official UAP reports had climbed to 400. More recently, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence submitted a new unclassified report on UAP indicating that it had succeeded in characterizing 195 of 510 UAP incidents. However, the residual number of unexplained UAP incidents remains in excess of 300, again not including NORAD uncorrelated targets or undersea anomalies or anomalies in space. Many of us researching the UAP issue believe the government has data regarding UAP in the oceans and space that it still has not shared with Congress or the public.

The Pentagon's Silence On UFOs Threatens To Undermine President Biden

Listened to the “Need to Know” podcast

Speculation is as follows:

Air Force officials are purposefully hostile to UAP inquiry because they are linked to and knowledge of illegal programs surrounding it

Senior Navy officials have become aware and approached the executive branch /CiC

Further fringe speculation:

Recent shoot downs may be forces within the military playing a game with the Air Force…

March and spring continue to look to be leading up to something big:

Dimensions of Disclosure: Unpacking History in Light of the Emerging Revelations

Generally speaking, with this podcast, each episode takes a different topic pertaining to the UFO Phenomenon and general paranormality and does a deep dive into it. That being the case, for the most part, Point of Convergence is not a current affairs kind of show. My aim is to make each episode relevant, regardless of when and where any particular listener happens to access and consume it. That said, recent events are such that I think that, on this particular occasion, it makes sense to veer from that overarching strategy. And that’s because, simply put, I believe we are living through truly extraordinary times; times that speak to a key inflection point in the history of our civilization. While even our current era is the product of events that have been unfolding for decades now, I believe evidence suggests this particular period of the 2020s is particularly significant.

What’s on the table:

US Government Has Been Dancing Around UFOS for 75 Years
Analysis by Stephen Mihm | Bloomberg
February 22, 2023 at 11:01 a.m. EST

---

quote:

---

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.
