https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/army-confirms-testing-ufo-debris-secrecy-may-loom-for-years-about-results/

quote:

In October of 2019, Tom DeLonge’s company To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science (TTSA) announced an agreement with the U.S. Army. It allowed TTSA to take an untold number of UFO artifacts; pieces of debris or other related material from Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) that they have collected, and take it to the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command [CCDC] to “advance TTSA’s materiel and technology innovations in order to develop enhanced capabilities for Army ground vehicles.” In other words, the Army agreed to offer their equipment to test the UAP artifacts TTSA had collected in order to see what results may appear. Those results would be mutually shared and exploited.

But has anything been done in the nearly two years since that was announced? TTSA did not want to talk about it, but The Black Vault confirmed with the U.S. Army testing has already been conducted. The only problem is that the actual results from those tests thus far, and any findings in the future, may remain secret for years or possibly even forever.

Despite the allegation the material came from UFOs; the Army had no problem expressing their interest.

“TTSA has a set of different materials, the properties of which they’re interested in investigating the properties. As materials research in general is of key interest to Army research, the Army is interested in any insights gained from investigating the properties of these materials, too,” Dr. Doug Halleaux, Public Affairs Officer for the Army’s CCDC Ground Vehicle System Center (GVSC), stated in an e-mail to The Black Vault in 2019.

A press release by TTSA in October of 2019 also showed their interest in their collaboration with the U.S. Army, and stated that they, “…will share its discoveries with Ground Vehicle System Center (GVSC) and Ground Vehicle Survivability and Protection (GVSP) and the U.S. Army shall provide laboratories, expertise, support, and resources to help characterize the technologies and its applications.”

Missing from the press release? They would share the results with the public.







looks like the pentagon is up to its bullshit again too lol:

quote:

The Pentagon Gets Involved

In a “Media & Public Affairs Activity Weekly Update” message sent on May 7, 2021, the U.S. Army GVSC sent out the following:

This record shows that in May, which coincides with The Black Vault’s attempts to get updates regarding the CRADA, the Department of Defense (DoD) requested that the query be shifted into their hands. Per the wording of the above, the likely PAO (Public Affairs Officer) referenced would be Susan Gough; the lone Pentagon spokesperson currently tasked with responding to all UAP and UFO related enquiries.

This is a cause for concern, since the Pentagon’s messaging regarding the UAP topic has been full of changed statements and contradicting information. If the above document does indeed reveal that the Pentagon and Gough have taken over the messaging behind the CRADA; it may be very difficult to get solid answers from the government-side of this agreement.

But wait, that’s not all.

The Pentagon Denies Being Involved

The Black Vault reached out to the Pentagon to see why they took over the messaging regarding the CRADA. According to them, the Pentagon never took over the messaging for the CRADA with TTSA, and therefore, they stated that the U.S. Army / GVSC remained the lead for any and all queries relating to it.

No formal statement was received for print, but the above was confirmed to be published for clarity.

It is unclear why documents obtained via FOIA showed there was a “request [by] the Department of Defense’s task force that was set up to work the various UFO-related topics…” and to have queries shifted to them.

i think the eight crazy nights or whatever is talking about this one:

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/dec/18/scientists-looking-for-aliens-investigate-radio-beam-from-nearby-star

signal detected in early 2019, leaked at the end of last year. the researchers involved were quite pissed off that it got leaked, since they were still investigating. "on par with the WOW! signal", apparently. not unreasonable to expect publication around now

the signal had a slight drift to it, which at the time of the leak was maybe being attributed to planetary motion around proxima centauri, but could equally be a probe within the solar system

This is a cool story.

But its also how cold readings work. You drop just enough details into a brief narrative and your mark then fills in the rest for you.

just a coconut going for a stroll

The CDAN thing probably isn't talking about the galactic center radio transient. The wording is somewhat ambiguous: was the alleged radio signal communicating *to* the solar system, or was it *from* within the solar system? Well the galactic center is well outside our solar system. Could something in the galactic center be communicating with a probe in our solar system via radio? I suppose so yeah if they're willing to dump whole star systems into a black hole to modulate a signal I guess.

The story about the government giving then withholding UFO footage is an old and known one. This rumor is about Rob Emenegger. Grant Cameron laid the whole story out one time in his style of cocaine-fueled rant. I can't find the video now.

I met this guy at a conference once

He was telling a story about how he got drunk with his grad students one night and went back to his office where they spent multiple hours trying to explain how a steam locomotive worked, with diagrams

this is apparently normal for his lab

in my lab we just got drunk by ourselves, like normal

maybe it is just rocks but the idea that the army is taking To the Stars Academy (lol) seriously and doing tests on their poo poo, is pretty interesting i think

like...what if it is actually bird related, and that's why the army is interested?

and then there's the added layer of the pentagon contradicting itself on the UFO topic, again :911:
