How has the MSM cancelled the UFO story?
Just a few years ago, thanks to the efforts of TTSA, Nimitz / Tic Tac videos, and their overall story hit all of the major news outlets, and where circling around for quite a while.
That alone was a HUGE step.
Now, you have former Director of national intelligence stirring the UFO pot again - and Jun 1st we are going to get some revealed, and declassified info.
As for you saying "I think they problem is that they see the UFO phenomenon as unnecessary distraction". That's not the case. The issue is that the media isn't going to be keep something in the news if there is nothing to report. There has to be SOME kind of updates, SOME kind of relevant information for something to say in the news.
Considering most of the stuff regarding UFOs and ETs is classified, its just a non-story in most cases. However, you saw when things get declassified, like NImitz or TiC Tac, the media is more than willing to put their stories up.
Honestly, people always talk about the UFO/ET phenomenon being classified and how bad/evil the government is for doing so. First of all, it isn't 'the government' doing it. Its literally a few people in positions of power who decided to classify things. Since we don't know the full story, or their reasons for doing so, we automatically assume its because they are evil, bad, etc.
Imagine in the 1940s, you are a top general, and a crashed disc shows up. You have an important decision to make. There are extreme implications with either decision..... and the country is already trying to piece itself back together after a world war.
It isn't hard to imagine why the issue became classified.
Sharing the existence of ETs/UFOs with the public has many problems with it:
1) Technology - The ETs are obviously using advanced technology. By sharing with the public that we now have a crashed UFO - you are going to eventually have to discuss this technology - that could have global ramifications.
A) disruptive technology - Disruptive technology is technology that completely changes the order or structure of things. It upsets the current order of things. This would most certainly be disruptive technology.
B) tech falling into the wrong hands - once other nations know about whats going on, there will be a fight to figure out this technology first. The last thing we needed was an arms race immediately after WW2.
2) Public perception - Everyone has pre-conceived notions and beliefs. Not just individually, but human also have certain beliefs and opinions as 'groups'. Revealing that ETs and UFOs exist would not only change the way individuals think, but it would change the entire paradigm of every culture on Earth, and every nation. Once you open the door, and reveal that UFOs and ETs are a real thing - you can never close that door. Once you've officially stated that ET life exists, and is actively visiting our planet.... you've changed a human belief forever moving foward. This has implications that are far reaching, and would effect aspects of life most people don't even think about. Religions would be forever changed. Our understanding of who and what humanity is would forever change. Its a HUGE deal.
Think about the realization that humans aren't at the top of the food chain. There is a certain ease that comes with being at the top of the food chain. Humans have to worry about old age and disease.....not getting eaten by their natural predator each day. Then to wake up and realize we are not at the top? That's scary.
3) Public panic - There would very likely be an initial shock that comes with official disclosure. ET life is not an easy pill to swallow - especially the notion that ET life, more advanced than us, is studying/abducting us.
4) What exactly does the government know? - Going back to the example of a general in a top position having to make the decision to reveal to the public that UFOs are real, and ETs exist.... say you are that general . What exactly do you even know about UFOs? About ETs? Its very possible that even today, our government only have a tiny fraction of the big picture. It would be foolish for our government to reveal something to the public, when at the end of the day, they don't even know what is going on themselves.
I think it is VERY likely that whatever we think ETs are......they are not that. It is very likely that we are dealing with something FAR more alien to us than little green men from another planet. They could very well be multi-dimensional....and perhaps not even originating in the physical world. How does the government explain that one?
Everything you just said is wrong.

We finally get disclosure.
And, the site might go away.
I just don’t understand.
I think this report is HUGE.

Nearly 80 years of sightings of USOs and UFOs in the Catalina channel area, I wonder what the us navy knows about that place and what they have been tracking / observing from Catalina Island.
Pic
We are concerned specifically here with a rectangular area between thirty-three (33) degrees and thirty-four (34) degrees latitude north and between one-hundred-nineteen (119) degrees and one-hundred-seventeen point five (11.7.5) degrees longitude west. Other "channel" and "basin" areas, named for the cities and islands associated with them, are involved here in question, is more meaningful. In most cases, the objects were viewed between the mainland and the large off-shore island of Santa Catalina.

All of that is why I follow the likes of Richard Dolan.
And the close up day time photo by Steve Thomson of a very clear domed saucer is real gold. Plus so many witnesses and the 911 audio records as well!

“Have UFOs been seen?”
Let me ponder that, Maria

Do you - or anyone else - have a screenshot of that picture or just the picture alone?
I'd love to see it!
Thanks in advance.

There is one certainty, the military and the MSM are trying to dupe us.
Document
"At this time the reports of incidents convince us that there is something going on that must have immediate attention. The details of some of these incidents have been discussed by AD/SI (SI: Scientific Intelligence) with DDCI.
Sightings of unexplained objects at great altitudes and travelling at high speeds in the vicinity of major U.S. defense installations are of such nature that they are not attributable to natural phenomenon or known types of aerial vehicles."

HOW TO "EXPLAIN" UFOS TO THE PUBLIC:
Document
"...for those times where the object is not explainable, it would be well to advise your people to say something on this order. "The information on this sighting will be analyzed by the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Dayton, Ohio," and leave it at that..."

After a year of unprecedented UFO activity and genuine concern by the U.S. national security community, the hammer came down in early 1953 to put the matter to sleep once and for all.
CIA Papers Detail UFO Surveillance:
Newsclipping
Documents obtained in a lawsuit against the Central Intelligence Agency show that the agency is secretly involved in the surveillance of unidentified flying objects and has been since 1949, an Arizona based U.F.O. group said yesterday.
The C.I.A. has repeatedly said that it investigated and closed it's books on U.F.O.'s during 1952, according to Ground Saucer Watch, a nation-wide research organization of about 500 scientists, engineers and others who seek to scientifically prove or disprove the existence of U.f.O.'s, but 100 pages of documents obtained under a freedom of information suit, show "the Government has been lying to us all these years," it said.
Embassies Gather Information Mr. Spaulding an aerospace engineer with Airesearch, one of the largest producers of aerospace components, said the documents show the United States embassies are used to help gather information on U.F.O. sightings and that the information "seems to be directed to the C.I.A., the White House and the National Security Agency."
A C.I.A. memo of Aug. 1, 1952, recommends continued agency surveillance of "flying saucers," saying, "it is strongly urged, however, that no indication of C.I.A. interest or concern reach the press or public, in view of their probably alarmist tendencies to accept such interest as 'confirmatory' of the soundness of 'unpublished facts' in the hands of the U.S. government," the document said.
Among the documents are several detailed reports of Air Force attempts to either intercept or destroy U.F.O.'s.

Very good analysis, couldn't agree more. Our global source of energy coming from fossil fuels, imagine what kind of impact will have a new alien technology.

The area of the north sea off the east coast of Yorkshire is definitely a place of high strangeness, Paul Sinclair has been investigating the area for nearly 20 years and has found many cases that have been reported in the press over the last 60 years of UFOs and many USOs/ lights under the sea, high military activity ect.
And the close up day time photo by Steve Thomson of a very clear domed saucer is real gold.
