In other news, Bryce Sabol discussed an upcoming UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, where the director of the Pentagon's UAP office, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, will be questioned in public for the first time. Bryce expressed uncertainty about what to expect from the hearing.
Senator Gillibrand's UAP hearing: Accountability and new information: Gillibrand's hearing aims to bring accountability and potential new info on UAPs, despite uncertain testimony from witnesses.
The upcoming UAP hearing, chaired by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, is expected to bring some accountability and potential new information, despite the testimony of Sean Kirkpatrick being uncertain. Gillibrand's reputation for holding people accountable and her open-minded approach to investigating unknown phenomena gives hope for progress. Although Kirkpatrick may not reveal much, the committee chair's questioning could lead to interesting exchanges and potential disclosures. The consensus among intelligence and armed services committees is that it's time to share more information about UAPs. While there's cautious optimism, it's unclear how much new information will be shared during the hearing, and the witnesses, including Kirkpatrick, will not be under oath.
Government officials should testify under oath about UAPs: Historical lack of transparency on UAPs calls for officials to testify under oath. Gradual disclosure expected through upcoming hearings and potential whistleblowers.
While there is a distinction between perjury under oath and misleading Congress with false information, when it comes to US government officials testifying about UAP or UFOs, they should be under oath due to the historical lack of transparency on this topic. The speaker believes that the US government is unlikely to bring forward truthful witnesses voluntarily, and instead, we may rely on whistleblowers and truth tellers from within the establishment to reveal information. There have been claims of nonhuman technology involved in crash retrievals, and secret hearings have taken place. The speaker anticipates that upcoming hearings may bring in new witnesses and potentially even some whistleblowers, but it remains to be seen how much information they will share publicly. The process of disclosing government secrets on UAPs is likely to be gradual.
Former US intelligence officer's secret past in UAP investigation: A former US intelligence officer, Scott Andrews, claims to have discovered documents revealing a secret military and intelligence background, including an Air Force discharge and space intelligence work, despite no memory of these events. The story, if true, could impact the UAP investigation and our understanding of these phenomena.
There is a new and controversial story emerging in the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) investigation, which involves a former US intelligence officer named Scott Andrews. Andrews claims to have discovered documents indicating that he had a secret past in the US military and intelligence community, including an honorable discharge from the US Air Force and work in space intelligence communications, despite having no memory of these events. These claims are being supported by influential figures like Lou Elizondo, and while their veracity has yet to be fully proven, the story has gained significant attention and credibility within certain circles. The story is currently being told through a book written by Andrews, published by Simon and Schuster. The implications of this story, if true, could significantly impact the ongoing UAP investigation and our understanding of the nature of these phenomena.
Government Insiders Prepare to Share UAP Evidence with Congress: Government insiders will testify about UAPs at a congressional hearing, fueling public curiosity and pressure on the government to acknowledge and disclose any non-human intelligence.
There are individuals from within the intelligence community and military who claim to have knowledge and experience with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), also known as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), and have provided evidence to congressional committees. The upcoming UAP hearing will include both public and confidential sessions. While understanding the need to keep certain information confidential for national security reasons, many are calling for a public acknowledgment of any non-human intelligence if it exists. The lack of transparency around UAP incidents, such as the Navy videos and the balloon incidents, has fueled curiosity and frustration among the public. People like Professor Gary Nolan, who has spoken to witnesses and has inside knowledge of the program, have shared their optimism about the upcoming hearing, as lawmakers seem to be more informed and less willing to be stonewalled by DOD officials. The overall sentiment is that the tables have turned, and the pressure is on the government to share and confirm the reality of UAPs if it indeed exists.
Congressional Hearings on UAP and Scientific Claims at Skinwalker Ranch: Congressional hearings on UAP are upcoming, and a scientist's claims of detecting non-human gamma rays at Skinwalker Ranch add credibility to the topic, making it increasingly important to take UAP seriously.
The discussion around Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) is gaining mainstream attention with more and more politicians openly discussing it. Congressman Timber Chet from Tennessee is one of the most vocal representatives on this topic. There are upcoming hearings in both the House and Senate regarding UAP. Doctor Travis Taylor, a reputable scientist, has made astonishing claims about the phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch, which some dismiss as nonsense. However, Taylor's work and claims should not be dismissed, as he is working with advanced technology and has detected gamma rays that he believes come from non-human technology. The 2024 election is also shaping up to be unprecedented, adding to the complexity of these issues. Overall, the conversation around UAP is no longer fringe, and it's important to take it seriously.
Podcast Advertising and UFOs: Podcast advertising can reach a large audience through top shows with host endorsements or across thousands of shows. The government has shown interest in UFOs throughout history, with attempts to investigate them in 1958 and 1966.
Podcast advertising through Lipson Ads offers businesses the opportunity to reach a large and engaged audience by choosing from top podcasts with host endorsements or running reproduced ads across thousands of shows. This form of advertising can be particularly effective for businesses looking to target specific demographics. Another intriguing topic discussed was the potential existence of downed UFOs in government possession, as suggested by Dr. Colm Kelleher in a recent interview. Kelleher, who has extensive knowledge of the Skinwalker Ranch story and has worked with various government programs, answered affirmatively when asked if the government has been trying to reverse engineer and exploit UFO technologies. Looking back at history, there have been previous attempts by congressional committees to investigate UFOs, specifically in 1958 and 1966. In 1958, the House Select Committee on Astronautics, Astronautics, and Space Exploration, chaired by John McCormack, planned to hold hearings on UFOs with little notice to the air force. However, these plans were neutralized before they could come to fruition. This history illustrates the longstanding interest in UFOs and the government's response to investigations into this phenomenon.
US Air Force's History of Controlling UAP Narrative: Despite publicly dismissing UAP sightings, military intelligence has privately investigated them, but efforts to uncover the truth through congressional hearings have historically been met with resistance, particularly by the US Air Force, due to potential extraterrestrial origins and the challenge of widespread information access.
Throughout history, the US Air Force has attempted to control the narrative surrounding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), while privately considering their potential extraterrestrial origin. This pattern dates back to Project Sign in 1948 and continued through various investigations like Project Blue Book. Despite public dismissals of UAP sightings as mass hysteria, hoaxes, or misidentifications, military intelligence continued to investigate these phenomena. However, efforts to uncover the truth through congressional hearings have historically been met with resistance, most notably in 1966 during Gerald Ford's push for a committee investigation. The difference today is the widespread access to information through the internet, cable, and streaming, making it more challenging to suppress information. The historical precedent raises concerns about another potential shutdown, particularly by the US Air Force. As Admiral Roscoe Hillenkotter, the first CIA director, noted in 1960, it's time for the truth to be brought out in open congressional hearings.
Gerald Ford's push for UFO hearings in 1966: Historically, UFO hearings in 1966 led to a US Air Force whitewash, but Ford's involvement and public pressure eventually resulted in the Condon Inquiry. Today, transparency and scientific discovery are at stake in ongoing UFO hearings.
Gerald Ford, who was a congressman at the time and later became president, pushed for UFO hearings in 1966 due to public interest and reports from his constituents, particularly after the famous incident with J. Allen Hynek and the swamp gas explanation. However, these hearings resulted in a US Air Force whitewash. The historical context matters because this cover-up led to public pressure and the eventual creation of the Condon Inquiry in 1966. It's crucial that Congress doesn't allow for another whitewash in the ongoing UFO hearings, given the historical significance of the issue and the potential implications for national security and scientific discovery. Ford's involvement in the UFO issue also highlights his belief in the potential substance of these reports and his commitment to transparency with the American people.
US Air Force and CIA orchestrated disinformation campaign in 1966 to downplay UFO phenomenon: A new investigation into UFOs is necessary with full disclosure, subpoena power, and public hearings to prevent another Condon Inquiry cover-up
The Condon Inquiry of 1966 was a result of a disinformation campaign orchestrated by the US Air Force and CIA to downplay the UFO phenomenon. This investigation put the issue back in the bottle for nearly five decades, shaping cultural attitudes towards UFOs with an air of ridicule. If the congress is considering handing the investigation over to the military or intelligence agencies once again, it's crucial that we don't let history repeat itself. Instead, we need a full, open, church committee-style investigation with the power of subpoena and public hearings to compel truthful testimony. The Condon Inquiry was successful in closing the official investigation into UFOs, but we're now at a critical juncture where we have an opportunity to change course. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, as the chair of the Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee, has the power to lead this investigation and potentially make a presidential defining moment by demanding definitive answers.
Senator Gillibrand's Direct Inquiry on Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Senator Gillibrand pressed a Pentagon official about known data on non-human intelligence on Earth, but the official evaded the question and suggested alternative inquiries. This highlights the need for continued investigation and transparency regarding UAP.
During a Senate hearing, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand directly asked Sean Kirkpatrick, a Pentagon official, if he was aware of any data indicating the existence of non-human intelligence on Earth. The question was not limited to the Pentagon or ARO's knowledge but the entire body of knowledge within the intelligence community. Despite the importance of the question, Kirkpatrick evaded answering and suggested several potential questions for the committee. The committee members, including former astronaut Mark Kelly, have varying stances on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). Gillibrand's bold approach to addressing the topic is commendable, as multiple former officials have suggested that the US government possesses information about non-human intelligence and technology. If the committee continues to be dismissive or flippant about these serious questions, public interest and frustration may grow.
Public officials should take UAP seriously and be transparent: Senators should demand answers and accountability from the Pentagon, prioritize historical UAP review, and approach UAP phenomenon with transparency and open-mindedness.
Public officials, including Senator Mark Kelly, should take UAP phenomena seriously and be transparent with the public. The dismissive attitude towards authentic experiences and witnesses, as shown by Senator Kelly in a recent hearing, is inappropriate and reminiscent of past political mishandlings of the issue. Senators, such as Gillibrand, should demand answers and accountability from the Pentagon regarding the underfunding and understaffing of the UAP investigation office, Arrow. Additionally, the historical review of UAP knowledge since World War 2, requested by legislation, should be prioritized. The February incident over Dead Horse, Alaska, where three objects were allegedly shot down, provides an opportunity for further investigation and questioning from the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Emerging Threats Committee. Overall, transparency, accountability, and a more open-minded approach are necessary for addressing the UAP phenomenon.
Unanswered questions about a reported UFO shoot down in Alaska: The lack of transparency surrounding a reported UFO shoot down in Alaska raises concerns, with calls for congressional access to related videos and reports, and potential consequences for those involved in the incident.
There are unanswered questions regarding a reported shoot down incident over Deadhorse, Alaska in February, and the lack of transparency surrounding this matter raises concerns. The Emerging Threats Committee has been urged to ask why no congressional representatives have been allowed to view or cite the purported shoot down videos, and why the specific incident and related reports are still classified. The witness, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, has been asked if he has any knowledge about the incident and if he can deny reports that the object remained in the air after being hit by a missile. If Dr. Kirkpatrick is not properly briefed about the incident at an upcoming hearing, calls for his resignation have been suggested. Additionally, there are new books and documentaries related to UFOs that may provide further insights into the topic.
Senator Gillibrand's committee hearing and potential skepticism: Listeners are encouraged to prepare for difficult truths during the upcoming Emerging Threats committee hearing
During the upcoming Emerging Threats committee hearing in the next week, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and other committee members are expected to address pressing issues. However, the speaker expresses skepticism about the effectiveness of the hearing. Using a metaphor, they encourage listeners to be prepared for potential truths that may not be easy to hear.
