Investigating UFOs: A Long-Term Endeavor: The Kona Blue UFO program, a significant government initiative, studied UFOs and related phenomena, employing 50 investigators and collecting over 260,000 cases, but was eventually terminated.
The investigation into UFOs is a long-term endeavor that requires patience, methodical analysis, and a willingness to verify information. The Kona Blue UFO program, a proposed initiative to study UFOs and associated phenomena, is an example of a significant government effort in this area. Led by James Likatsky, a rocket scientist and former intelligence analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the program was authorized $22 million over 27 months and employed 50 full-time investigators. They collected and analyzed over 260,000 UFO cases from around the world, sent teams to investigate strange activities, and produced over 100 detailed papers on various aspects of the UFO mystery. Despite the progress made, the program was terminated. UFO researcher and podcast host, you, have a connection to this story through a friend named Kirk Hammett, who is a UFO enthusiast and a member of the famous heavy metal band Metallica. Kirk's connection to the Kona Blue program is unknown, but it serves as a reminder that even during perceived lulls in UFO research, there is still important work being done.
Senator Harry Reid's proposed SAP for AATIP to protect it from scrutiny: Despite the termination of the AATIP, the team's determination to uncover UFO mysteries continues.
In the late 2000s, Senator Harry Reid proposed the creation of a Special Access Program (SAP) for the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) at the Department of Defense. The aim was to protect the program from public scrutiny and budget transparency. However, when news of the proposed SAP leaked, opposition arose, and the program was eventually terminated. Bigelow Aerospace, which had anticipated receiving materials from the program, found out that the mysterious goods were real but never received them. Later, the team behind the AATIP attempted to transfer the program to the Department of Homeland Security, but it was ultimately unsuccessful. The Kona Blue documents, which have since been made public, match the details of the program outlined in the book "Skinwalkers at the Pentagon," but the name Kona Blue was withheld from publication at the time. The failed attempt to transfer the program to DHS marked the end of the AATIP. Despite the termination of the program, the team's determination to uncover the mysteries it was investigating remains.
The Kona Blue program was a fabrication used for propaganda: The Department of Defense used the Kona Blue program as a cover-up to divert attention from real UFO activities, discrediting witnesses and promoting false information.
The infamous "Kona Blue" program, which was rumored to be involved in reverse engineering extraterrestrial technology, was a fabrication used as a propaganda tool by the Department of Defense. The people who claimed to have information about this program never mentioned it to the authorities in the first place. Instead, they spoke of witnessing crash retrievals and non-human intelligence bodies. However, these claims were dismissed, and the witnesses were discredited. The release of Kona Blue documents by the former director of Arrow Engineering, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, was an attempt to further discredit these witnesses. Despite this, the Department of Defense continued to use the name "Kona Blue" to mislead the public and divert attention from the real UFO-related activities. This deception highlights the lack of transparency and trustworthiness of the Department of Defense when it comes to UFO phenomena.
Investigation led by To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science met skepticism from some UFO witnesses: Despite efforts to investigate UFO incidents, skepticism from some witnesses and potential counterintelligence operations hindered progress.
The investigation led by Christopher Mellon's organization, To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science (Arrow), was not trusted by many credible witnesses who had firsthand knowledge of UFO incidents and reverse engineering programs. These individuals, who had previously shared their information with Congress and investigative journalist, David Grush, chose not to go to Arrow due to their suspicions that it was a counterintelligence operation. The texts between Dr. Eric Davis and Christopher Mellon revealed the distrust of these witnesses, as they were concerned about being outed as leakers. As a result, fewer than a handful of the people who had come forward to Grush or the ICIG went to Arrow. The primary goal of Arrow was to identify and plug leaks, and it appears to have been successful in this regard. The mainstream media, which had previously shown reluctance to cover UFO stories, used the information obtained by Arrow as a reason to abandon the topic as a serious investigative story.
Kirkpatrick's UFO diversion to Congress: Kirkpatrick proposed a UFO investigation to Congress as a strategic distraction, revealing potential collaboration between Lockheed and the government on UFO studies, but higher-ups halted the process.
Kirkpatrick's proposal to Congress to declassify and investigate UFOs was a strategic move to divert their attention away from the topic, as there were more pressing issues at hand. Kona Blue, a proposed special access program, was never an active UFO program but a potential home for UFO materials from companies like Lockheed Martin. Doctor Lukatsky described a UFO with a streamlined configuration, no engine or exhaust, and no wings or control surfaces, leading to speculation that this is what Lockheed wanted to study. Despite Lockheed's willingness to collaborate, higher-ups intervened and halted the process. While Kirkpatrick's move was a setback, it was not a defeat, and the UFO community remains determined to uncover the truth.
DOD's routine deletion of old emails likely explanation for Dr. Lukatsky's UFO emails disappearance: Despite conspiracy theories, Dr. Lukatsky's UFO emails likely deleted due to routine purging of old records, while Lou Elizondo's recent social media activity and upcoming projects generate excitement.
The deletion of Dr. Lukatsky's UFO-related emails from the DOD, despite being a topic of conspiracy theories, is likely due to routine purging of old records rather than a sinister cover-up. The speaker, who is a co-author and friend of Dr. Lukatsky, believes that the DOD, like other government agencies, does not keep everything forever. He also mentions that Lou Elizondo's emails have already been deleted, which might raise some concerns, but Dr. Lukatsky's emails were likely deleted due to his long absence from the DOD. The speaker also expresses his excitement about Lou Elizondo's recent social media activity and upcoming projects, and shares his thoughts on the John Oliver UFO special, which he sees as an important step towards bringing more attention to the topic and encouraging a balanced discussion.
Focus on UAP shape can distract from their potential threat: The shape of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) is intriguing but not the most crucial aspect. The larger concern is the presence of unknown units and their potential intentions, as demonstrated by numerous incidents involving military warships and air bases.
The focus on the shape of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) can distract from the more significant issue of their origin and the potential threat they pose. The conversation around UAP, as highlighted in a recent John Oliver show, often centers on the shape of the objects, which can overshadow the larger concern of unknown units swarming military warships. The discussion around the USS Russell incident, with the triangle or pyramid-shaped object, is a prime example. While the shape is intriguing, it's essential to remember that there were over 100 unknown units that approached Navy warships in 2019 off the West Coast of California. We have reported on this extensively, providing thermal footage, IR, radar, deck footage, and firsthand testimony from military personnel. The shape of the object is not the most important thing; what's crucial is the presence of these unknowns and their potential intentions. The recent incursions at Langley Air Force Base further emphasize the need for answers regarding these UAP. As Merrick, a thinker on this topic, points out in his article in The Hill, these incursions are not a new phenomenon, with some going back to 1965. The lights described by witnesses in these incidents are reminiscent of what we've seen recently and are a cause for concern. Ultimately, it's essential to keep the focus on the larger issue of UAP and their potential threat, rather than getting bogged down in the details of their shape.
Unidentified objects in military airspace: A long-standing mystery: Unexplained UFOs or drones continue to enter sensitive military airspace, raising concerns of non-human origin, and requiring ongoing investigation
The incursions of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) or drones, as some label them, into sensitive military airspace is a long-standing issue that remains unexplained. The technology and capabilities of these objects have raised concerns that they are not of human origin. An article by Merrick in The Hill provides insight into this issue, highlighting the historical context of similar incursions near nuclear facilities in the 1960s. The lack of identification and understanding of these objects' origins and intentions is a significant concern, as they continue to fly into restricted airspace with impunity. Instances of these incursions include the mystery drones in Colorado and Nebraska swarms, which have left authorities baffled. The possibility of these objects being deployed from larger, unknown sources adds to the intrigue. The historical context and current events underscore the need for continued investigation and questioning of the unknown objects in our skies.
Government UFO research program led by Bigelow Aerospace: A secretive government program, AATIP, investigated advanced technologies with potential links to UFOs. Led by Bigelow Aerospace, it included divisions for data collection, experimentation, medical evaluation, and consciousness research, driven by national security concerns and competitive edge.
The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), formerly known as AUSAP, was a secretive government initiative aimed at identifying and evaluating advanced technologies, some of which were associated with UFOs or unidentified aerial phenomena. The program was led by Bigelow Aerospace, and it involved various divisions focusing on data collection, experimentation, medical evaluation, and even consciousness research. The motivation behind the program was not just scientific curiosity but also the potential threat these technologies posed to national security and the competitive edge they could provide against adversaries like China and Russia. Despite producing numerous highly technical reports, the program was terminated, and the vast majority of its findings remain classified and unknown to the public. The authors of the book "Skinwalkers at the Pentagon" argue that such research should be privately funded due to the challenges of government funding and the potential for interference or censorship. The public's demand for more data on UFOs and related phenomena is met with a wealth of information that has been largely ignored in the past.
The Eglin Air Force Base UAP case: Separating fact from fiction: The Eglin Air Force Base UAP case challenges skeptics and believers alike, as a dismissed balloon theory contradicts evidence and military secrecy fuels frustration.
Separating fact from fiction can be challenging in the realm of UFO sightings, with some cases being dismissed as harmless explanations like swamp gas or balloons, while others hold more substance. The Eglin Air Force Base UAP case serves as a prime example. A pilot observed and captured an image of an object with an upside-down ice cream cone shape, which was dismissed by Arrow, a UFO investigation organization, as a commercial lighting balloon. However, the manufacturer of the balloons confirmed they do not come untethered randomly, and the diamond shape and stationary nature of the objects contradicted the balloon theory. The case gained attention due to congressional involvement, with representatives Matt Gaetz, Luna, and Tim Burchess pushing for answers. Despite this, the military continued to maintain a veil of secrecy, fueling frustration and suspicion among those seeking transparency.
Claims of UFO-related programs at Area 51 by verified intelligence community worker: Verified intelligence worker's claims of UFO programs at Area 51 deserve attention, but personal encounters with extraterrestrial life need verification
There is a person named Jay Sands who has come forward with claims of working in the intelligence community and having knowledge of UFO-related programs at Area 51. His background and employment in the intelligence community have been verified, and he has testified to various government committees. However, some of his personal claims of encounters with extraterrestrial life cannot be verified and remain unsubstantiated. The competition among journalists for credible UFO whistleblowers or witnesses can lead to a lack of support for those who come forward, leaving them vulnerable to criticism and attacks on social media. The situation highlights the complexity and challenges of reporting on UFOs and the importance of verifying information before making it public.
Verifying UFO Information: Always verify UFO information before making definitive statements or taking action. The speaker couldn't confirm a specific encounter but did confirm some knowledge about legacy UFO programs.
While some individuals may claim to have inside knowledge or experiences related to UFOs and government programs, it's crucial to verify the information before making any definitive statements or taking action. The speaker in this discussion emphasized that he couldn't verify the specific encounter of a person named Jay at Area 51, but he did confirm that Jay had some knowledge about legacy UFO programs. The discussion also touched upon the Kingman incident, where hundreds of UFO sightings were reported, and the existence of a still-classified memo from the 1950s that maintains the cover on UAPs. The text messages mentioned in the conversation suggested that there was direct knowledge of UAP crash retrieval programs. Overall, the importance of verifying information before making conclusions was a recurring theme in the discussion.
Military activities in Arizona and Nevada: Reported military activities near Kingman, AZ and NV have been kept secret, possibly involving material recovery, with whistleblowers hesitant to come forward, and Arno's raids by FBI and OSI leaving unclear reasons
There have been reported military activities in the desert areas, specifically near Kingman, Arizona, and Nevada, which have remained largely undisclosed to the public. These activities, which may have involved recovery of certain materials, have been the subject of speculation and signal messages between Chris Mellon and the speaker. The speaker also emphasized the importance of direct firsthand whistleblower accounts, but their hesitance to come forward makes it uncertain if they will do so publicly. The speaker also touched upon the raids of Joerg Arno's homes by FBI and OSI, but the reason behind it remains unclear. Arno, who runs a website discussing UFO-related topics, had his digital data taken away during the raids, and he is unsure of what specifically led to the investigation.
US Cracks Down on Area 51 Info Sharing: Man's Equipment, Belongings Confiscated: The US government took aggressive measures against a man for sharing publicly available Area 51 info, confiscating his equipment, personal belongings, and sensitive data. The FBI's involvement was at the request of the Office of Special Investigations (OSI). Potential charges may still be filed within the next five years.
The US government took aggressive measures against a man named Joerg Arnu for sharing publicly available information and images related to Area 51 on his website. The authorities, believed to be from the Office of Special Investigations (OSI), executed multiple search warrants, confiscating his equipment and personal belongings, including sensitive data and family photos. The intimidation tactic was likely intended to send a clear message to the Area 51 community that such activities would not be tolerated. The FBI's involvement in the operation is believed to have been at the request of OSI. Despite the potential for charges within the next five years, Joerg's lawyer suggests the likelihood of any charges being filed is low. This incident mirrors a similar situation with a UFO watchdog named Chuck Clark two decades ago.
Discovering sensors on public land can lead to serious consequences: Uncovering sensors on public land, believed to be used for national security, can result in investigations, property seizures, and even raids by federal agencies, potentially infringing on civil liberties
The use of sensors on public land by unknown entities, under the guise of national security, can lead to serious consequences for individuals who uncover their presence. This was exemplified in the story of Chuck, who was investigated and had his property seized after discovering such sensors near Area 51. The incident left him scared and forced him to leave the area for years. More recently, similar incidents have occurred with York, who has been raided by federal agencies for his involvement in reporting on such activities. These incidents raise concerns about the potential misuse of power and the infringement of civil liberties. The existence of a secret base within Area 51, which is even more restricted than the main base, adds to the intrigue and raises further questions about the true nature of the activities taking place there.
Public's fascination with UAPs remains high despite pushback: Despite attempts to discredit individuals and demean public interest, curiosity about UAPs continues, with ongoing investigations and influx of information from various sources.
Despite the pushback and attempts to discredit individuals and demean public interest, the public's fascination with UAPs, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, remains high. The leaked information and memos have sparked immense curiosity, and many people are determined to uncover more about this phenomenon. Although organizations like Arrow have tried to thwart the momentum, there are ongoing investigations by congressional staff, scientists, and private entities. The destigmatization of the topic has led to an influx of information from commercial airline pilots and other civilians. The future holds possibilities for further exploration and discovery, and it's essential not to give up on the quest for knowledge. For those interested in related topics, checking out previous episodes of the podcast, such as those featuring Colm Kelleher, James Lykatsky, Jay Stratton, and Travis Taylor, is recommended. The podcast, Weaponize, will continue to explore this topic in the future, though the specifics are yet to be determined.
Effective communication is crucial for transferring knowledge and understanding: Improve communication skills by practicing active listening, using clear language, and focusing on audience needs to bridge the gap between knowledge and effective sharing.
Despite having a wealth of knowledge and experiences, some individuals may struggle to effectively communicate their message to others. This was exemplified in the discussion about the few who have much to tell but could say so little. This lack of clear and concise communication can hinder the transfer of valuable information and understanding between people. Effective communication is essential for building strong relationships, fostering collaboration, and driving progress. To improve communication skills, individuals can practice active listening, use clear and concise language, and focus on the needs and perspectives of their audience. By doing so, they can bridge the gap between their wealth of knowledge and their ability to effectively share it with others.
