Senate Committee Passes Legislation to Root Out Concealed Alien Artifacts

6/24/2023

Only weeks after so-called UFO whistleblower David Grusch alleged that interdimensional alien beings crashed dozens of flying saucers that the United States has collected since 1944 while hiding a secret treaty between humanity and space aliens from Congress, the United States Senate’s Intelligence Committee passed unanimously legislative language sponsored by senatorial UFO hunter Kirsten Gillibrand and others required all Federal agencies and any contractors who obtained materials from Federal agencies to provide access to all of their space alien artifacts.

As Douglas Dean Johnson reported this morning, the Fiscal 2024 Intelligence Authorization Act contains a mind-boggling passage about extraterrestrial or interdimensional materials:

The new UAP language (found in Section 1104 of the bill) would require "any person currently or formerly under contract with the Federal Government that has in their possession material or information provided by or derived from the Federal Government relating to unidentified anomalous phenomena that formerly or currently is protected by any form of special access or restricted access" to notify the director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) within 60 days of enactment, and to provide within 180 days (six months) "a comprehensive list of all non-earth origin or exotic unidentified anomalous phenomena material" possessed and to make it available to the AARO director for "assessment, analysis, and inspection."

Grusch’s claims contained a plausible assertion that the military has secret aerospace programs outside Congressional oversight, an undoubtedly correct assertion that the U.S. government collects and studies unusual crashed materials (documents going back to 1947 indicate as much), and a vast amount of very online UFO mythology derived from transparently false claims and hoaxes.

Granted, there are probably secret military programs of some sort that Congress isn’t aware of, but there has never been any indication of space aliens or multidimensional Lovecraftian entities. This legislation is (a) kooky and (b) not at all a method for addressing the supposed national security concern about secret military programs. It is quite transparently a treasure hunt for space alien technology, which is both an admission that Congress has no evidence of such technology and that for reasons that baffle me, our legislators are still in thrall to the small group of UFO advocates who have pushed a mythological narrative about infiltration and invasion from another dimension.

Given the timing of the legislation—approved on June 14 but not published online until today—and its proximity to Chris Mellon’s demand for exactly this kind of legislation in Politico on June 3 and Grusch going public on June 5, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that l’affaire Grusch and the time pressure that Grusch’s stenographers Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal felt to get the story out fast was part of an organized effort to achieve this legislative end. Each time Congress readies UFO legislation, by sheer coincidence a spate of new stories from the usual group of UFO suspects surrounding Lue Elizondo, Chris Mellon, and Jacques Vallée make the rounds. It’s quite the remarkable synchronicity that I’m sure has a wholly innocent explanation.

Are we going to get actual proof

All we want is the proof

Read some books, watch some videos, connect the dots. There is plenty of proof. Why wait someone else to confirm it for you?

Faith is a wondrous thing, it requires no proof, sometimes just a suspension of disbelief. And that’s okay, what a dull world it would be if we lacked some mystery in our lives.

Of course, I am constantly amazed at what some people will accept as “proof”…

Wow

Perhaps you could walk the class through your connect-the-dots reasoning? This is open-book, you can use your Highlights collection.

"interdimensional alien beings crashed dozens of flying saucers that the United States has collected since 1944 while hiding a secret treaty between humanity and space aliens from Congress"

I'm surely far from the first to point this out, but that's literally a key premise of the "Delta Green" tabletop role-playing game.

Elements of the setting first appeared in a fanzine in 1992 (*before* the "X-Files" premiered), and the full book was published in 1997. It drew heavily upon existing Ufology and 1990s conspiracy theories, but added its own fictional gloss, and directly tied them into the Cthulhu mythos. In the game, Lovecraft's Mi-Go created the Greys as sort of tele-operated bio-drones to interface with humans and specifically the MAJESTIC conspiracy within the U.S. government. The Mi-Go built the Roswell craft and deliberately crashed it to dangle its secrets before the U.S. military-industrial complex and recruit key leaders as servitor cultists, which resulted in a secret treaty between the MAJESTIC "shadow government" and the "Greys".

Elements of that plotline were already being circulated in Ufology and conspiracy circles when the game was written. But I think the game was the first time that whole complex of ideas was brought together.

It could well be an independent, convergent evolution of ideas drawing on the same source material that resulted in David Grush basically re-capitulating the game material. But I genuinely wonder if that overtly fictional material wound up being recycled into "real" Ufology. I think if David Grusch, or another "serious" Ufologist, discusses a rival "cowboy" conspiracy that just wants to burn everything related to the aliens, and references stickers attached to personnel files as a marker of the conspiracy (green triangles, hence "Delta Green"), we'll have some pretty definitive evidence of deliberate fiction shaping "real" Ufology.

Aw, hell, all pointless. Any alien artifacts or remains rest in banker boxes in a Mar-a-Lago privy. If Trump ain’t got ‘em, nobody does. Everything else is a waste.

Trump jokes never get old, do they? But I'll stoop to your level and raise you one Chinese balloon.

Have they checked in Biden's garage? They should put VP Harris on the job, then we'll see results!

Be best!

I can only wait for the that email to come down through the chain and what sort of replies it will get.

If this stuff existed it would only have taken a couple RFI’s with the implied threat of cutting budgets if you don’t provide the list and Congress would have them.

This is just a waste of time but will make for some fun email chains

Reminder about Trump

Trump has gone on record on television that he does not believe in UFOs and does not believe in crashed Roswell Saucer on NBC News

If you actually listen to the words his mouth makes he doesn't deny them either. That's a perfectly reasonable position.

There was a skit, maybe on SNL, where the guy (Sean Penn?) confronted with a snake sings to himself "No sudden movement".

My own position is "No alien spacecraft".

Of course there are UFOs. Phoenix Lights? Parachutists with boot flares gliding in formation on flat chutes. Tic tac? They were field testing a new imaging system. No one said "eyeballs".

Others? There's a lot of weird stuff. No alien spacecraft.
Life on other planets? Sure.
Them taking a field trip to here? No.

Ancient alien theorists say....stuff that is wrong.

Wait, if Trump said they don't exist, we have definitive proof that they do! The boy never speaks the truth.

It seems to me that the Senate intelligence committee is composed of people with no intelligence.

Was not there (1950s-60s +) a USA military officer, maybe a lieutenant, called Corso? There are photos and mentions of him all over, this gentleman was in charge of alien tech artifacts, taken from crashed vessels, which were then supplied to American companies that dealt with electronics and aeronautics? Please confirm this if true........Thank you.

Was not there a gentleman named CORSO, an officer with the USA military during the 1950s to the 1970s that was in charge of alien tech finds from crashed alien vessels, who supplied some of these artifacts to American electronic companies?
Please enlighten us. Thank you.

Philip J. Corso, who retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves in 1963, published a book in 1997, "The Day After Roswell", in which he made such claims. He repeated those claims in interviews with Art Bell. He never provided any actual verifiable evidence for any of those claims.

First order of business is to build a worldwide computer network that people can use to look up information like this. We've got our best people on it. Once that's finished then we can get you your answer, but you're in the queue!
