The content alluding to a disclosure debate ongoing within the US Navy is the most interesting content in the article, IMO. In my research I've come across some very strong sources who have mentioned this "debate" and others who have detailed in-depth work within the Navy on ET technology and even "interplanetary diplomacy".

Just a rhetorical question really, but one I would like you all to ask yourselves. What government especially one who's as powerful as the United States believes it is going to admit that there is a power out there that it can't even hope to touch? It's not going to admit it is never going to admit it is defenseless.
In addition, popular NASA and space researcher, Richard Hoagland, has publicly come forward to reveal that the October 9, LCROSS ‘bombing’ mission of the moon, discovered an ancient base at the moon’s South Pole.
