They're from the government so all these videos should have gone through a process of being labelled as remarkable or defying physics. On the reports they have admitted to having hundreds of similar videos.

Has there ever been a video captured from non-military proprietary systems that experts think are unexplainable? These systems being locked down makes nearly every video nonsense as no one can independently confirm anything.

I think the only reason we catch these things on video is because the military has 'high-tech' radar, locking systems, etc. And as you can see, it still looks like technology from the 80s. I dont think regular people have any chance of capturing one of these on film. The last report says most of them operate above the altitude planes fly at.

"Alien spacecraft" and UFOs and poo poo are red herrings. You can dress up a lot of poo poo in the sky for that. I don't give a gently caress about someone's weird rear end drone. If you want me to believe in aliens show me an alien, not a dressed up kite. The fixation on the not-actual-aliens is a misdirection people!

Fair point! Okay let�s mount a few Nikon�s and ~~cannons~~ canon�s with those 1000mm lenses on the jets and do some fun runs! Or how about a balloon? They take very steady pictures and can go up high.

UAPx is an independant coolition trying to get cameras all over the world for this kind of research. Their first endeavor is setting up a bunch of high-tech sensors and imagining devices on the Catalina islands so they can have several devices miles apart in ideal lighting conditions. They did present a couple weird incidents in the 1 year report; but of course the result looks like this:

They can say "we caught all this data on all these sensors," but there honestly needs to be some kind of big leap in imaging technology before we have more information.

Yeah, even though I've had a lifelong interest in the subject, I'm at the point where I don't care to hear another spun yarn or view another fuzzy dot going in a straight line. If there's nothing, ok. If there is, ok. I'm glad some departments are on researching the topic and until they release some findings I'm going to simply ignore these grifters and whack jobs that come out purporting special knowledge. If I need to be lied to, I'll listen to my cat scream at me about how hungry he is despite having a full dish of food.

It's honestly kind of sad the government holds this information back though, because at the end of the day we are all being deprived of knowing something greater.

Hey, I understand your skepticism. I'm still not 100% all the people named including the writers won't come out tomorrow and say they had nothing to do with any of this.

I'm just saying if these people actually wrote it they've broken stories like this before and I trust their corroboration work. And if everything is corroborated, that's pretty big to me.

This guy, for one:
https://www.newsweek.com/ufo-uap-craft-found-covered-whistleblower-claims-1804733
There are a lot of people that would fit this description, from what I've heard. People who work in the government or military saying stuff like this is well-worn US cannon at this point, isnt it? That's why they call it a conspiracy, after all.

However, the conspiracy from what I've gathered, is simply the government defaulting to classification; specifically the boomers and doomers at the Pentagon. Cold-War Era holdover stuff.

Although, the reason the guy in the article was able to report this is thorough whistleblower protections have been implemented in the last 10 years as it relates (fairly specifically) to this kind of disclosure. The arc of UAP/UFO scene in the government in the last 10 years is actually moving very positively towards disclosure.

If we consider a satisfactory level of disclosure, "going right", then things are going to go wrong.

Olewithmilk: Jun 30, 2006; What?

They are going to hold a hearing on this guys 'evidence':

"The Guardian posted:

The House of Representatives plans to investigate claims that the US government is harboring UFOs after a whistleblower former intelligence official said the US has possession of �intact and partially intact� alien vehicles.

James Comer, the Republican chair of the House oversight committee, said the committee would hold a hearing into claims by David Grusch, who led analysis of unexplained anomalous phenomena (UAP) within a US Department of Defense agency, that the government had been collecting non-human craft for �decades�.

Grusch, who left the government in April after a 14-year career in US intelligence, told the Debrief that information on these vehicles was being illegally withheld from Congress.

�There will be oversight of that,� Comer told NewsNation. �We plan on having a hearing.�

Comer said he had heard about Grusch�s claims, but added: �I don�t know anything about it.�

The timing of the hearing is not yet determined, but a source familiar with the matter said a date is expected to be announced in the next few weeks. Tim Burchett and Anna Paulina Luna, Republican members of Congress from Florida and Tennessee, respectively, will lead the oversight committee investigation.

Burchett is working closely with House oversight committee leaders to prepare for a hearing, the congressman�s office said. The witness list for the hearing has not yet been set, so it is unclear whether Grusch will publicly testify before the oversight committee.

�Congressman Burchett�s office is working through logistics, including a witness list of the most credible witnesses and sources who would be able to speak openly at an unclassified hearing,� a spokesperson said.

Austin Hacker, a spokesman for the committee, told the Guardian in a statement: �In addition to recent claims by a whistleblower, reports continue to surface regarding unidentified aerial phenomena. The House oversight committee is following these UAP reports and is in the early stages of planning a hearing,� Hacker said in a statement.

�The National Defense Authorization Act for 2022 created the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office which coordinates among the Department of Defense, the intelligence community, Nasa, and other federal agencies to study UAPs.

�Americans, who continue to fund this federal government work, expect transparency and meaningful oversight from Congress.�

Luna addressed her appointment in a tweet on Wednesday.

�Thank you @RepJamesComer! Very happy to announce @RepTimBurchett and myself will be working with the @GOPoversight team to lead out the investigation into UAPs (UFOs),� Luna said.

Grusch made his claims in an interview with the Debrief journalists Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal, who previously exposed the existence of a secret Pentagon program that investigated UFOs.

He said the US government and defense contractors had been recovering fragments of non-human craft, and in some cases entire craft, for decades.

�We are not talking about prosaic origins or identities,� Grusch told the Debrief. �The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles.�

Grusch said analysis determined that this material was �of exotic origin� � meaning �non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin�.

According to the Debrief, Grusch�s knowledge of non-human materials and vehicles was based on �extensive interviews with high-level intelligence officials�. He said he had reported the existence of a UFO material �recovery program� to Congress.

In the Debrief article, Grusch does not say he hasdpersonally seen alien vehicles, nor does he say where they may be being stored, but in a follow-up interview with NewsNation, he insisted his story was accurate.

�We�re definitely not alone,� Grusch said. �The data points, quite empirically, that we�re not alone.�

Jonathan Grey, a current US intelligence official at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (Nasic), confirmed the existence of �exotic materials� to the Debrief.

�The non-human intelligence phenomenon is real. We are not alone,� Grey said.

�Retrievals of this kind are not limited to the United States. This is a global phenomenon, and yet a global solution continues to elude us.�

Grusch told the Debrief that he had filed a complaint with the intelligence community inspector general. That complaint contained classified locations, program names and other data, the Debrief said.

Nick Pope, who spent the early 1990s investigating UFOs for the British Ministry of Defence, said the existence of that complaint could hamper the oversight committee investigation.

�As an active complaint it is very difficult to get into the substance of the testimony, because it constitutes interference with an ongoing investigation,� Pope said.

Pope added: �So, for anyone who thinks great, the hearing will determine whether David Grusch�s allegations are correct or not, I think an awful lot of [what is said in the hearing] is going to be: �That�s the subject of an ongoing investigation and we can�t discuss it.��

Pope said to find out whether Grusch�s claims about alien craft are true, �we need a few key pieces of information�.

�Number one is the project name or office name. Number two is who is the person in charge of that � the director, the commanding officer, whoever it is? Thirdly, what agency is it embedded in?�

Grusch�s claims came after a series of credible sightings and reports over the past two years.

In 2021, the Pentagon released a report on �unidentified anomalous phenomena� � the term is preferred to UFO by many extraterrestrial enthusiasts and investigators � which found more than 140 instances of UAP encounters that could not be explained.

The report followed a leak of military footage that showed apparently inexplicable happenings in the sky, while navy pilots testified that they had frequently had encounters with strange craft off the US coast.

Following renewed interest in UFOs the Pentagon established the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022, to investigate unexplained phenomena.

In April this year Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of AARO, told the Senate armed forces committee that the office had �found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology or objects that defy the known laws of physics�.
