Despite potential backlash, the focus remains on getting the information out and trying to understand its significance.
Reports of jellyfish-shaped UFOs: Military personnel have reported jellyfish-shaped UFOs for decades, with some cases remaining unexplained. These reports have been documented through various means, including night vision and thermal footage, but the footage remains classified and not yet publicly available.
There are various reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) or UFOs, some of which describe jellyfish-shaped objects. These reports come from military personnel and have been documented for decades, with some cases remaining unexplained. For instance, there's a famous incident in Russia, known as Petrozavodsk, where a jellyfish-like UFO was reported after a rocket launch. More recently, there have been descriptions of such objects at highly secure facilities, like Pantex in Texas, where a domed structure with tentacle-like features was reported to have traversed through a restricted area. These reports have been validated through various means, including night vision and thermal footage, but the footage remains classified and not yet publicly available. The jellyfish UFO shape is not a common one in UFO discourse, but it has been a part of the popular imagination since at least the 1970s, as evidenced by a comic book from that era. Overall, these reports add to the ongoing mystery surrounding UAP and the potential for technological or extraterrestrial explanations.
Mysterious jellyfish-shaped object recorded on military surveillance: In 2018, an unexplained jellyfish-shaped object was recorded on military surveillance in the Middle East, raising concerns of a base incursion due to its intelligent behavior and changing temperatures.
In 2018, at a military installation in the Middle East, an object of unknown origin was recorded on military surveillance. The object, shaped like a jellyfish and impossible to lock on with the most advanced military surveillance system, raised concerns of a potential base incursion. The object was described as having geometric pieces that moved under intelligent control and changing temperatures, leading to fears of it being an intelligence reconnaissance platform or even a living being. Despite initial thoughts of it being a balloon or floating trash, the object's behavior and the base's response indicate a more mysterious and potentially significant event. The incident highlights the limitations of current military technology and the ongoing mystery of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).
Two unexplained UAP incidents at military bases in 2015 and 2017: Incidents involved UAP with unusual characteristics, kept classified, objects lacked typical thermal or infrared signature, behavior suggested controlled flight, full details and documentation remain unknown
There have been two unexplained incidents involving Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) at military bases, in 2015 and 2017, where the objects exhibited unusual characteristics, such as not being visible with night vision goggles, stopping and descending into water without leaving a trail, and resuming controlled flight after emerging from the water. The events were kept classified, and people involved were debriefed and required to sign non-disclosure agreements. The objects were described as not having a typical thermal or infrared signature, and their behavior suggested controlled flight rather than natural phenomena. Despite the public availability of some footage and reports, the full details and documentation of these incidents remain unknown.
Footage of UAP captured by intelligence agency: An intelligence agency recorded a UAP entering the water and reemerging, now classified as a UAP, gov't officials shown footage, public deserves to know despite potential backlash.
An unidentified flying object was captured on footage by an intelligence agency and the event was handled with extreme sensitivity. The object, which reportedly exhibited strange behavior such as entering the water and reemerging, is currently classified as an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP). Government officials have been shown the footage, but the full evidence, including the object's abrupt stop and subsequent actions, remains with the agency. The speakers emphasized the importance of sharing this information with the public, despite potential backlash, as it represents an example of a genuine UAP incident. The speakers also expressed disappointment that some experts, like Rich Hoffman from SCU, believe they should not release such footage until a full investigation has been conducted by the government. The speakers argued that the public has a right to know about UAP sightings, especially when they are classified and handled with such seriousness.
Journalists investigating jellyfish-shaped UAP over nuclear facility: Journalists seek answers about unexplained phenomena, encourage experts to share insights, and aim for accuracy and correction in reporting
Journalists are dedicated to bringing unexplained phenomena, such as UAPs, to public attention, even if they are met with skepticism and predictable explanations. In this case, the discussion revolves around a jellyfish-shaped UAP filmed over a nuclear facility. Despite not knowing what it is, journalists continue to seek answers and encourage others with expertise to share their insights. The incident is not unique, as there have been other reported cases of UAPs with similar shapes throughout history. The importance of accuracy and correction in journalism was also emphasized, as a mistake regarding the year the footage was filmed was corrected. Overall, the goal is to shed light on unexplained phenomena and encourage a broader understanding and discussion.
Unexplained UAP behavior and appearance: The UAP in the viral video cannot be explained by simple phenomena and defied military detection and jamming systems, leaving its origin unexplained.
The object in the viral UAP video cannot be explained away as simple phenomena like a smudge on the lens, balloons, or bird shit. The military personnel involved in the incident were trained to recognize such prosaic objects and had ruled them out based on the object's behavior and appearance in the thermal imaging. The object was also reportedly able to evade detection and jamming systems, suggesting it was not a normal object. Additionally, the military personnel were unable to visually identify the object using night vision goggles. These observations, along with the object's ability to remain undetected by sophisticated military equipment, make it an intriguing and unexplained phenomenon.
Military Encounter with Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon in Iraq: An unidentified object interfered with military technology, changing temperature and being invisible to night vision goggles, leaving personnel baffled and unable to fully explain the encounter
During an incident at a military base in Iraq, military personnel encountered an unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) that interfered with their laser range finders and night vision systems, suggesting possible active jamming capabilities. The object was described as changing temperature and invisible to night vision goggles, adding to its mysterious nature. The incident was unique due to the object's ability to evade detection and the unusual handling of the recordings. The incident, which involved at least 10 personnel tasked with observing the object, stands out due to its unexplained characteristics and the challenges it posed to military technology.
Secret military footage of unusual object in water: A secret military base footage of an object entering and rapidly moving away from the water was confiscated, but some recordings survived, raising questions about the event's nature and the reasons for the secrecy.
At a secret military base run by intelligence agencies from multiple countries, an unusual event occurred involving an object entering the water and then rapidly moving away. The live feeds were cut off, and armed Marines confiscated the footage, making everyone sign NDAs. The footage, which was over 20 minutes long, showed the object stopping over the water before entering it and then shooting off at an extraordinary speed. The fact that this footage survived despite the confiscation and the NDAs is remarkable. The event was kept secret, with people being told not to talk about it, and was even mocked as a smudge, balloons, bird poop, or two different objects 12 miles apart. However, there are reports of multiple files containing this footage that were collected before it was confiscated, suggesting that someone took a risk to record and share it. The footage itself, which includes the object stopping over the water and entering it, has not been shared publicly. The situation is complex and raises many questions about the nature of the event and the reasons for the secrecy surrounding it.
Limited access to UAP footage due to national security concerns: Speakers identified UAP footage location and witnesses but cannot release it due to national security, multiple videos and reports exist but access is restricted, urged public to take action and search for information themselves, assured continuation of efforts to make information available without compromising security.
Despite the public's demand for transparency regarding UAP footage and reports, the information remains limited due to national security concerns. The speakers emphasized that they have identified the location and witnesses of the footage, but cannot release it without compromising security. They also mentioned the existence of multiple videos and a detailed report about the incident, but their access to these materials is restricted. The speakers expressed their frustration with the public's anger towards them for not providing definitive evidence, but urged them to take action and search for the information themselves. They assured that they will continue to work towards making the information available without causing harm to national security.
Michael Sinkowski shares validated military footage of unknown object: A secondhand witness, Michael Sinkowski, came forward with military footage of an unknown object and validated its authenticity, but clarified he doesn't have the authority to identify it and aims to share his experience neutrally amidst overwhelming attention.
A secondhand witness, Michael Sinkowski, came forward with information about military footage of an unknown object that was filmed at a base. The footage, which has been circulating online, was validated by Sinkowski's account of having seen it during his military rotation. However, his initial interview with the New York Post was misquoted, leading to confusion and speculation. Sinkowski emphasized that he does not have the authority or information to determine what the object in the footage is, but he aims to share his experience objectively. The attention and interest surrounding this topic have been overwhelming for him, and he is trying to approach it as neutrally as possible.
Pressure to take a definitive position in UFO research: Investigators of unexplained phenomena face pressure to take a definitive stance, even if uncertain, and must deal with misinformation and bad actors in the field.
Individuals involved in the investigation of unexplained phenomena, such as UFOs, can face pressure to take a definitive position, even if they are open-minded and uncertain. The speaker in this conversation shared an experience where they were asked for their opinion during an interview, but the resulting article misrepresented their stance. They emphasized that they were not pressured during the interview itself, but were concerned about the way their words were later presented. The conversation also touched upon the challenges of dealing with misinformation and bad actors in the field of UFO research. Another key point was the speaker's role in Iraq as an ISR Tactical Controller, where they were responsible for managing unmanned drones and countering adversaries' use of drones. They mentioned that there were multiple recordings of a specific event, and that there might be a full report on what happened that night, which could provide additional context.
Identified stranger shared details of unusual base incident: Witnesses recognized a stranger based on specific details he shared about an unexplained object detected at their base, which was only visible on thermal cameras and seemed to defy explanation.
The witnesses, George and the speaker, were able to identify the person they met at the base as someone who had been present during an unusual incident due to specific details he shared. These details included knowledge of the Persistent Threat Detection System (PTIDS) and the name of the base. The incident involved an unidentified object that was only detected by thermal cameras and seemed to defy explanation. The speakers found it strange that no other sensors picked up the object and that it appeared to be over their base. Despite the passage of time and potential misquoting, the speakers are confident in their memories and believe there may be more footage of the incident that they did not see.
Military Base UFO Sighting: Unusual Object Followed for 20 Minutes: A military base witness described an unexplained object with inconsistent morphology and changing thermal temperature, followed for 20 minutes, causing nonchalant reaction from command. Potential drone threat a concern, but footage unusual.
The unknown object filmed over a military base was followed for over 20 minutes before it went into the water, and the first-hand account of the event was not accessible to the interviewee. The reaction from command folks was described as nonchalant, with no unusual measures taken. The interviewee, who is not an expert in identifying objects through FLIR, found the footage unusual as it showed the object's thermal temperature changing from black to white, and sometimes the background seemed to change as well. The object's morphology was inconsistent with anything the interviewee had seen before. The potential threat of drones carrying bombs to military bases is a real concern, and the interviewee had spent a significant portion of their pre-deployment training addressing this issue. However, they had not seen anything like the footage they were shown before.
UFO footage changes might be due to temperature differences: Operators could only switch between white hot and black hot settings, suggesting an automated process in UFO footage analysis
The changes observed in the UFO footage might not be due to manual adjustments, but rather the camera system's response to temperature differences between the object and its environment. The operators could only switch between white hot and black hot settings, suggesting an automated process. Michael, the speaker, emphasizes that he doesn't have all the information and is sharing his limited knowledge from six years ago. He encourages staying true to facts and calling out misquotes or twisted stories. The UFO community welcomes his voice and hopes he'll continue contributing despite any initial misgivings.
First public release of military UAP footage: Recent military footage of UAPs at a base marks the first time such evidence has been made public, highlighting the importance of these incidents for national security.
The recent release of military footage showing unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) incursions at a military base is significant because it's the first time such footage has been made public. This confirmation of the facts is important as it establishes that George and the speaker are not lying about the authenticity of the footage. The speaker expresses sympathy for the individual who leaked the footage but emphasizes the importance of their testimony to the public. The incident at the base is not unique, as similar incursions have been reported elsewhere, including at a nuclear facility called Pantex. The speaker and George have previously received information about an incursion at Pantex involving a similar looking UAP. The seriousness of these incidents is highlighted by the potential danger they pose to national security. The release of the footage from the latest incident, along with the earlier discovery of the "chandelier" UAP, has sparked intense debate within the intelligence community. Overall, these incidents underscore the need for further investigation into UAPs and their potential implications for national security.
Government takes UFOs and UAPs seriously: ICIG verifies claims and briefs Congress: The intelligence community is discussing UFOs and UAPs at the highest levels of government, verifying claims and considering reverse engineering programs and crash retrievals.
The intelligence community is taking UFO and UAP phenomena more seriously than ever before. During a recent briefing, members of Congress were given classified information about UAPs, and the ICIG verified the authenticity of some of the claims made in public by David Grush. The video of a UFO moving in a strange pattern, which was described as looking like a chandelier when viewed from below, is one such claim. The community is still debating the nature of these phenomena, but the fact that they are being discussed at the highest levels of government is a significant development. Additionally, there have been reports of reverse engineering programs and crash retrievals related to UAPs. The public release of this information is a departure from the past, and it suggests that the US government is opening up about its investigations into these mysterious aerial phenomena.
Progress in UFO and UAP transparency: More briefings are taking place, the unknown objects are unidentified, and the public is encouraged to get involved in uncovering more information.
There has been a significant step forward in UFO and UAP transparency with more briefings taking place, according to the speaker. He expresses optimism about the situation and emphasizes that the unknown objects are indeed unidentified, not necessarily alien or nonhuman in origin. The speaker encourages those interested in the topic to take action and get involved in uncovering more information. Despite the excitement, it's unclear if this is the end of the current season of their podcast, "Weaponized," but plans for a final episode and potentially a season 2 are in the works.
