Wow I have never seen that video and that is an extremely good video of a tic tac. I guess it could be a bug but it doesn't look like any bug mistaken for UFO I've seen before. That's an incredible tic tac video.

Is it the Beaver Creek video? It's not available for me to watch.

The Politico article Rubio links to is written by Ryan Graves.

quote:

[...]

I am impressed by the recent whistleblower protections enacted last year to encourage more pilots and others to come forward, and I support the fresh push by Rubio and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) for full funding of AARO. Given the stakes, Congress also needs to fund grants for more scientific inquiry of UAP.

Above all, we need to listen to pilots. Military and civilian pilots provide critical, first-hand insights into advanced UAP. Right now, the stigma attached to reporting UAP is still too strong. Since I came forward about UAP in 2019, only one other pilot from my squadron has gone public. Commercial pilots also face significant risks to their careers for doing so.

New rules are needed to require civilian pilots to report UAP, protect the pilots from retribution, and a process must be established for investigating their reports. Derision or denial over the unknown is unacceptable. This is a time for curiosity.

If the phenomena I witnessed with my own eyes turns out to be foreign drones, they pose an urgent threat to national security and airspace safety. If they are something else, it must be a scientific priority to find out.

Nobody has better respect for intelligence than Donald Trump.

Is this national security line actually a legitimate concern or is it just a rhetorical strategy to get the military apparati to acknowledge more information?
There's something that really bugs me about the "protect are airspace"/uap is a threat rationale. We know these guys love their fancy toys and war room action and would love an excuse to shoot at what they think is a literal demon. Not to mention that we are once again allowing the king polluters to tell us about the danger we are in. If it's just a rhetorical strategy then fine, because I dont think the US military should be the lead organization/bottleneck on this, but defining the threat as a kinetic one is missing the problem by so much that I can only assume it's deliberate

The closure of St. Petersburg airport is in no way related to recent NORAD and U. S. Northern Command operations associated with airborne objects over North America during the last month.

Depends on what you mean by legitimate concern.

The true believers / career technocrats in National Security / empire management who take UAPs/USOs seriously absolutely think it is a legitimate concern for national security.

But there are definitely people who understand that the only way to get high-level attention and funding on the subject is to frame it in that context even if they don't personally subscribe to it. Academics chasing soft-money grants for research are the grizzled veterans of this sort of approach; slap the right keywords and kayfabe on a project proposal and DARPA will help keep the lab running and the phd students grinding.

Somewhere in-between those two poles are the Marco Rubios of the world. As a politician it is impossible to know whether he has any sincerely held beliefs about anything. But we can observe that he wants, desperately, to be seen as a "Very Serious Person" and, therefore, one of the last of the Very Serious People in the GOP. Presumably, he thinks the median suburban voter will want a VSP over a Trump, DeSantis, or whoever else. Because Rubio is also observably stupid, etc.

If we accept the underlying premise that it is a fundamental duty of a nationstate to control access to the space within its borders, and that part of controlling borders is controlling the airspace above claimed land, then yes it is absolutely a legitimate concern.

Accepting that what we're seeing is at least partially nuts and bolts, aka not an entirely psychological phenomenon, then there is, by governmental logic, someone who is not authorized to do so so flying over any and all of the US with utter impunity whenever they want whenever they want.

That is literally an existential threat under their assumptions, because if they cannot control access and prevent someone from doing something they don't want, it puts their very notion of sovereignty at risk.

Don't interrogate this structure, since it obviously falls apart once you start examining it too closely, but yes under the logic of the people making the claim, UFOs represent an existential threat.

there is an inner logic

it is simple and elegant
but it's cruel and antithetic
and there's no effort to reveal it

Interrogate it every chance you get. With as big an audience as you can muster. Especially if you know, live, and/or work with people who swim in those waters. Identifying and working through the contradictions helps (at least IMO/IME) people begin to understand the limits of both liberalism (c.f. Frosted Flake) and scientific empiricism. The latter may still have its merits, but taking its primacy/superiority/etc. on blind faith is what NDT-brain is all about. And it's the kind of questioning/curiosity that naturally allows people to unwrap the diamond in their colon and start considering why it is that we seem to know so little about what is going on with all this poo poo.
