Frustrated lawmakers demand answers on UFOs
Senior lawmakers are increasingly demanding that military and other government officials provide them with information about intelligence on unidentified flying objects (UFOs) or unidentified aeria…
Several lawmakers, including Senator Marco Rubio, are frustrated that the military and intelligence agencies are not providing them with information about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) that have been detected in restricted airspace. They want to know if these objects pose a national security threat. While most lawmakers do not believe the objects are of extraterrestrial origin, some admit the possibility cannot be discounted given the vastness of the universe. The government is now being pressured to collect and disclose records related to UAPs to provide more transparency. However, many details about these phenomena and what the government knows remain classified.
The uap hearing this week, July 26, should be interesting. https://oversight.house.gov/release/national-security-subcommittee-to-hold-hearing-on-unidentified-anomalous-phenomena/
Thanks for electing a bunch of conspiracy nuts, America.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're classified because we are responsible for whatever it is. At the very least, we are closely tracking whichever power is making it happen. I don't think declassifying this stuff is a good idea.
Yeah, as much as I'd love for there to be public proof of extraterrestrial intelligence in my lifetime, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a spook version of the telephone game going on here. Some off the books program where they are bending a few budgetary rules that would get them in hot water with Congress, maybe. That program is compartmentalized from the rest of the intelligence community for obvious reasons (wild technology, rule bending). But eventually someone else inside the government figures out that "they have something". That "something" gets passed along, and passed along in internal discussions, getting slightly wilder with each retelling, until voila ... aliens.
Im not sure. David seems like a pretty credible witness. https://www.politico.com/minutes/congress/07-20-2023/ufo-hearing-witnesses/
Republicans will latch onto anything they can if it means they dont' have to actually do their fucking job.
At the end of the day, all our three-letter and military agencies should be accountable to the civilian government, even if we do have some crackpots running around. They should say what they know, whether it's what we want to hear or not.
