Last question. You have been pressing the Department of Defense for more information about UAPs, also known as UFOs, have you gotten any answers? The writing is on the wall. Despite some half-hearted feints toward “unclear” objects that no one other than the extreme ufology fringe seems to expect will be space aliens anymore, the offramp for Congress’s infatuation with UFOs is the same one that we’ve seen over and over again, realizing that the story of UFOs is one of natural phenomena, floating debris, balloons, and drones. It’s bizarre to me that nobody in the Air Force monitors such things, but that is beyond my concern. For our purposes, it’s worth noting that all the way back in 1947, the first government investigation of UFO sightings found hoaxes, misunderstood natural phenomena, balloons, and model aircraft (i.e., “drones” in today’s parlance), and nothing has changed, not even the need for each generation to relearn the same lesson.

Congress sure seems to have a lot of time investigating basically nothing. I guess it's better that having a real job.

They are still missing a fact today. And the objects - as well as not being spaceships from Outer Space - are rather that of misunderstood natural phenomena. They still omit mentioning this.

I'm sure they eagerly await your report. Hint: "Insert me making mouth noises here" is not part of anyone's style guide. If it sounds like I'm calling you an idiot, guilty as charged.

I'm thrilled to see that Ms. Gillibrand seems to have jumped off the alien bandwagon - if she was really on it to begin with (sure sounded like it, but maybe she really was just concerned with national security). The obviously fake "alien mummies" that the media played up last week might help shut down the BS channel for a while, too. Fingers are crossed.

Anti-alienists have a remarkable ability to ignore evidence. For example read Michael Salla's latest book regarding what military is doing.

Does AAA stand for anti-anti-alienist?

So now a second-hand recounting of a long-distance correspondence with an anonymous source is considered as “evidence”? I weep for the gullible who eschew critical thinking in favor of conformation bias.

Want some first-hand evidence? No problem. Read Elena Danaan’s work.

Keeping secrets now is easier.
