Government Investigations into UAPs Continue: Former military intelligence official Lou Elizondo hints at upcoming UAP hearings, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand could lead them, NASA announces independent study, and influential figures show growing recognition and investigation of UAPs.
There are ongoing efforts to investigate Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) at both the congressional and NASA levels. Former military intelligence official, Lou Elizondo, hinted at potential upcoming hearings and the involvement of familiar faces. The January 6th committee currently dominates the news cycle, but once its hearings conclude, there's a possibility of UAP hearings. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, could lead these hearings due to her background as a former prosecutor. NASA's recent announcement of an independent study into UAPs is significant as the head of NASA, Bill Nelson, has shown interest in the phenomenon and acknowledged its potential extraterrestrial origins. These developments indicate a growing recognition and investigation of UAPs by influential figures in government.
NASA's new approach to UAPs: Serious scientific inquiry: NASA is taking UAPs seriously with a commitment to scientific investigation, openness, transparency, and integrity, despite limited resources and access to military data.
NASA, an esteemed scientific organization, is now taking the investigation of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) seriously. This shift comes with a commitment to scientific inquiry, openness, transparency, and integrity. Despite the minimal budget of up to $100,000 for the study, NASA officials emphasized their dedication to engaging with this scientifically, even acknowledging they're not afraid of reputational risk. However, the limited resources raise questions about the scope and depth of the investigation. Additionally, NASA will not be using secret military data for their study, which may limit the data they can access. On a global scale, Russia has announced its own plans to investigate UAPs, offering a glimmer of optimism and collaboration in the field.
Russian and American Space Agencies Plan to Investigate UFOs: Despite acknowledgement from high-profile figures, media and scientific community response to UFO investigations is varied, with NASA's study receiving less attention due to potential bias.
Both the Russian and American space agencies have announced plans to investigate UFOs, with Russian space agency chief Dmitry Rogozin acknowledging the possibility of external observation. Former President Bill Clinton also weighed in, legitimizing the question of UFOs and their potential defiance of known physical laws. However, the media and scientific community's response to this news has been interesting, with NASA's investigation receiving less attention than other seemingly less significant stories in a science magazine's news rundown. NASA has even declared that there is no evidence of extraterrestrial life on Earth, potentially indicating a bias in their upcoming study. Overall, the UFO phenomenon continues to divide opinions and garner intrigue, with high-profile figures adding fuel to the debate.
Summer of 1947: Pivotal Moment in UFO History: The 1947 summer brought significant UFO events, including the Roswell crash cover-up, and highlights the need for transparency and open-mindedness in investigating unexplained phenomena.
The 1947 summer marked a pivotal moment in UFO history with the Kenneth Arnold sighting, the Roswell crash, and the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency. The cover-up surrounding Roswell, if it indeed involved a UFO crash, has continued for longer than a human lifespan, and understanding this history is crucial to comprehending the modern UFO era. The witness accounts, like the one shared about a potential encounter between a UFO and a US Navy ship, add to the intrigue and underscore the need for transparency and open-mindedness in investigating such phenomena. The persistence of these unexplained events and the lengths taken to conceal them highlights the importance of questioning predetermined conclusions and advocating for the release of relevant information.
A pivotal moment in history: 1947 and the mystery of UFOs: Understanding present-day events requires acknowledging the past, specifically the era of 1947 when the US was the only nuclear-armed superpower and UFOs were openly acknowledged but public trust was eroding
The past, as Shakespeare once wrote, is a prologue to the future. The year 1947 holds significant importance to this notion, as it was a pivotal moment in history when the United States was the only nuclear-armed superpower and the world was recovering from World War 2. However, what's past is not just prologue, but also a valuable lesson. The discussion highlights how the past, specifically the era of 1947, sets the stage for understanding present-day events, such as the recent acknowledgment of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). At the time, the military openly acknowledged the mystery surrounding these phenomena, and there were reports of strange objects performing unusual maneuvers. Yet, despite this open acknowledgment, public trust in the government began to erode with events like the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War, and Watergate. These events, along with the UFO phenomenon, could be seen as a powerful story that merges history and supposition. In summary, the past provides valuable context for understanding the present and the future, and the era of 1947 holds a unique place in history as a time of mystery and open acknowledgment that still resonates today.
UFOs in the 1940s and 1950s: Open Discussion vs. Cover-up: Despite some openness in the 1940s and 1950s, the military and government attempted to downplay UFOs through denials and media manipulation to prevent public panic.
While it's true that the military and government were more open about UFOs in the 1940s and 1950s compared to today, it's also clear that there were efforts to downplay public discussion of the phenomenon. For instance, after the Roswell incident in 1947, the military issued a denial, and the media shifted from open reporting to one of skepticism and ridicule. However, it's important to note that there's evidence suggesting government involvement in shaping media coverage, as alleged in books like "The Missing Times." Ultimately, the military seemed to recognize the potential public panic and tried to keep the issue under wraps while investigating it behind the scenes.
Media Control and UFO Sightings in the 1940s: The 1940s media landscape allowed for easier government control of narratives around significant events, like UFO sightings, but skepticism from experts and subsequent personal experiences led to increased credibility and public awareness
The media landscape of the 1940s was vastly different from today's, making it easier for the government to control the narrative around significant events, such as the UFO phenomenon that emerged in 1947. The Kenneth Arnold case, often considered the starting point for UFO sightings in the US, faced skepticism from the media and experts, including a United Airlines pilot named Emil J. Smith. However, just weeks after dismissing Arnold's claims, Smith himself reported a UFO sighting, adding credibility to the phenomenon. This incident, along with others, shows how the media's role in shaping public opinion and disseminating information has evolved significantly, making it less likely for a complete shutdown of information to occur in the modern era.
Summer of 1947: Wave of UFO Sightings in the US: The summer of 1947 marked a significant increase in UFO sightings in the US, including a notable airline encounter in New Mexico, which is considered one of the first documented UFO encounters. This period remains intriguing in UFO history, but there's no credible evidence linking it to the formation of the CIA and US Air Force.
The summer of 1947 saw a surge in UFO sightings across the United States, many of which went underreported or were dismissed at the time. One notable incident was an airline sighting that took place in New Mexico, which is believed to be one of the first documented cases of a UFO encounter. This event, along with others, contributed to the beginning of the modern UFO era. It's important to note that these sightings predated the formation of the CIA and the US Air Force as separate entities, and while some conspiracy theories suggest that these agencies were formed in response to extraterrestrial encounters, there is no credible evidence to support this claim. The summer of 1947 remains an intriguing period in UFO history, with many unexplained phenomena reported across the country. For those interested in learning more, I recommend checking out the report on 1947 by Ted Blecker, which can be found on the Need to Know website.
U.S. government acknowledged unexplained aerial phenomena as early as 1947: The U.S. government recognized the existence of unexplained aerial phenomena in 1947, predating the recent controversy and contradicting suggestions that they are a new discovery. These objects were not likely to be commercial drones due to the historical record.
The U.S. government's response to unexplained aerial phenomena dates back to 1947, long before the recent controversy over alleged drones. General Nathan Twining, in a memo circulated within the Pentagon just days before the end of the "summer of the saucers," acknowledged that some of the objects were real and exhibited unusual characteristics. He suggested they might be controlled manually, automatically, or remotely. This contradicts the suggestion that these phenomena are a recent discovery, and raises questions about the true nature of these objects. The idea that they could be commercial drones is also called into question by the historical record, which shows that the technology did not exist to produce such objects in 1947. Therefore, it's important to remember the historical context when evaluating current claims about unexplained aerial phenomena.
Unexplained aerial phenomena can't always be explained by drones: Unexplained aerial phenomena continue to baffle experts and require further investigation, as some cannot be explained by current drone capabilities.
While there have been reported sightings of drones near navy vessels, not all anomalous aerial phenomena can be explained by drone technology. There are unsolved mysteries, such as the unexplained drone swarms over the Midwest in 2020 and the objects seen over Gatwick Airport in London that closed the airport for two days. Witnesses to these incidents have reported that what they saw was not consistent with drones. The use of the term "drones" as an explanation for these phenomena may be an attempt to make the mysterious sound prosaic, but some incidents defy explanation by current drone capabilities. The U.S. Congress should investigate these unexplained phenomena, which have been reported for decades, especially around nuclear-powered ships. The speaker also suggests that the focus on drones as an explanation may be a cover for more exotic phenomena.
Power of art and expression in confronting past mistakes: Art and expression can help individuals reflect on past errors, seek redemption, and break free from the chains of the past. The importance of transparency and accountability is emphasized in order to foster growth.
Power of art and expression in confronting past mistakes and moving forward. Bob Dylan's song "Every Grain of Sand," written in 1981, encapsulates this idea with its lyrics about reflecting on past errors and seeking redemption. The speaker in the song expresses a desire to break free from the chains of the past and let go of regrets. This resonates with the frustration expressed towards individuals who hoard information and refuse to share their work. The hope is that these individuals will be held accountable and forced to explain themselves, allowing for transparency and growth. Overall, this conversation highlights the importance of facing the truth and learning from past mistakes in order to progress.
