Lawmakers receiving the latest secret briefings on UFOs say national security agencies still aren’t taking seriously the reports of highly advanced aircraft of unknown origin violating protected airspace.

Members of the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services committees received classified progress reports in recent weeks on a series of new data collection efforts the Pentagon and spy agencies are now required to pursue to more rigorously investigate reports of UFOs, three people with direct knowledge confirmed.


ooh! anything good?


But some leading sponsors of recent legislation want more analysts and surveillance systems dedicated to determining the aircrafts’ origin — and not just more reports of their existence.

One of those lawmakers is Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), a member of both committees who has called the phenomena “an urgent issue” and for the first time is expressing her public dissatisfaction at the response.


mmm...we want for info.


“Senator Gillibrand believes that the DoD needs to take this issue much more seriously and get in motion,” said one of her aides, who requested anonymity in order to discuss private conversations. “They have had ample time to implement these important provisions, and they need to show us that they are prepared to address this issue in the long-term.”


age-old issue with saucers; we need MORE, SPECIFIC info, not just blurred videos and radar spook image thingies.

let me guess; the investigating agencies need more resources.


Expanding investigations of UAPs will require dedicating far more resources and personnel to the task, military and intelligence experts say.


I have to think that if there was something real and physical to these things we would have found SOMETHING by now.

that we get glimpses and teasers makes me think about John Keel and his 'games nonhumans play' theories. there are beings out there (demons?) that play with us.

not holding my breath for Congress to get this figured out

It seems like every government agency operates as an endless loop where jobs are created for friends and family of high ranking politicians and business men. It's self-perpetuating to keep the money flowing round and round, while out of the hands of the working class.

There might come a day when the only people able to eek out a comfortable existence are either employed by a government agency, or are part of the government. The rest of us will live on a UBI, government provided housing and rationing of sanctioned goods.

Just think about this and the source being someone who REALLY knows.

I firmly believe they know where they are coming from but they can't do a damn thing about it and that is why they are crapping their pants that if THAT information got out it would open Pandora's box. Think about it, the most powerful nation on Earth and they are useless, being treated like children. These UFOs come and go do just what they want and no force in the world can do anything about them.

Presently, our lawmakers have enough extremely serious issues going on presently than to add UFO's to the mix.

Don't get me wrong, I, and most everyone else believes that UFO's are at least 'something' , but take a look at the real hard 'somethings' we are dealing with ...

-A madman Russian asshole who is killing women and children and also threatening the world with Nuclear missiles.
-A madman North Korean asshole who is about to test another of his Nukes.
-Radical gangs of Antifa and BLM who set fire to our cities and pillage/rob our retailers.
-Members of our own government who participated in rigging elections.
-A virus that is STILL killing people and possibilities that the vaccines used against it may be killing people as well.
-Massive Inflation caused by above as well as a broken supply chain and the possibility of a depression.
-A Supreme Court that is, after ~ 50 years, thinking of taking away a woman's right to choose what happens in their own bodies.
-A refugee problem on our border that is bringing in more criminals than the population can handle.
'
And all this is just the tip of the iceberg on issues that are destroying our country.



If E.T. is here, I would ask them to kindly help clean this mess up, especially the nuclear issues. That certainly would go a long way when it comes to taking them seriously.

We just need to give Ukraine the Tic-Tacs with lasers attached to them and get that battle over with so we can move on.

In the 60's in Canada, scientists obtained the permission from the government to use old WWII radar dishes to scan the canadian skies for UFOs.

After one year, the government axed the project; there were too many unexplained things in the sky, apparently...

I don't believe agencies let it go as if nothing was there to see and learn. They just kept it secret, and despite partial disclosure now, they will keep a lot of things hush-hush for a long good while.

It sounds like:

We need a committee or board to handle this

and

We would also need funding for the committee or board

and

Some here have interest on that committee or board

and

of course military specialist for committee or board

and

even more funding so that one or two UAV specialist can do all the work

and

bureaucratic smile

...

The truth is out there... basically meant go out there and see for yourselves; Get abducted... it's nearly impossible not too. But then what? Oh... that's why those from the committee or board are here: To investigate it.

In other words just a lot of bull feces and a lot of wasted tax payers' dollars. The politicians getting what they spout. Nothing of value or interest will ever be declared. A politician's job is a dream job. You do nothing but bs and you enjoy a good life. Look at the #1 American politicians: Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. A traitor, a crook, a liar, an anal cavity with most of his family being under criminal investigation. He owns more property than he could afford with his salary.

Another example: Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi. Here's just one scandal or many: Did Nancy Pelosi profit from Visa stock purchases? www.csmonitor.com...

These people are no different from the ones forming committees about UFOs where all they do all day is just yawn and break for expensive lunches.

It's my opinion, that they are asking for to much... The greatest number of sighting reports hands down, are lights in the sky that by the way, can do a lot more than we humans can do, in the sky physically - all light sources. Even for the reports that are clearly objects, we can't match their abilities. How are we to report what they are? It's not like we got a few or more, in a top secret hanger, with fraudulent physicist, working on them to discover how they operate. Much less where, what they are.

Your reply is what UFOlogy has always been. No more, no less. We live with a mystery that has no present solution.

I am sure the US had nothing to do with Ukraine or their meddling which drove the Russians to respond when they were pushed to the edge over on that issue right?

The US is always innocent when it comes to such conflicts like on Syria?

Who said we are innocent? Nothing we did "pushed him over the edge"... This was his agenda all along and he knew how the rest of the world would would react What he did not factor into his devious plan was how Ukraine would react, how much they wanted their freedom, their ability to collectively unite to fight off his attacks and how they were able to get us all to supply so many weapons. He is embarrassed now to the point of insanity... An insane leader targeting the civilian population and threatening the world with nuclear war.

I’m still holding out for an other worldly alternative…..perhaps such as this…….dialogue below from the 1957 B&W movie titled The 27th Day..

Video Movie: The 27th Day

People of Earth. Permit me to explain your presence here. Each of you is hearing my words in his or her native tongue. Who are you? Since I'm a stranger to each of you, perhaps it would be simplest to call me 'The Alien'. Where are you from? The name of the planet I come from is unknown to you. One of many worlds in a nearby universe. Where are we now? In space. I don't believe it. If you please...It's the Earth. Don't be frightened. You'll be sent back to Earth absolutely unharmed. Furthermore, no measurable time by earthly standards will pass while you're here. Is such a thing possible? You're travelling at almost exactly the speed of light. At such a speed, time as you know it, does not exist. Theoretically, but in actuality...Why have we been brought here? If you'll kindly be seated I'll try to explain.

You five, are here in effect as representatives, not of your particular countries, but as representatives of the human race. Then, you have come to Earth to establish contact? No, professor, we are here to help you save your beautiful planet. You talk as if the earth were about to be destroyed. That danger exists. Your entire history is one of self-destruction. You have now what you believe to be the ultimate weapon, the H bomb. If you destroy yourselves, you’ll also destroy the Earth. And that we can not permit, for it is needed. Needed? The universe in which my world exists is dying. Soon, our sun will be going into nova and explode.

Therefore your people will need a new world. Within 35 days. Then you're going to invade us. Oh,no. No, our moral code does not permit us to invade, nor to destroy any form of intelligent life. We are prepared to lend you a weapon. A weapon which will permit you to destroy yourselves, without harming your planet. This weapon affects only human life. Nothing else will be harmed.

It will belong to you, for 27 of the 35 days remaining to us. If at the end of that time, midnight of the 27th day, Greenwich time, you've not used it, the weapon will automatically become harmless. You are under no compulsion to make use of the weapon. Yet you think we will? We cannot hope for disaster, we merely expect it. Say your wrong, say that 27 days go by and we don't use the weapons. What happens then? Your race will live, mine will die.

Do we have your solemn word that if we succeed in keeping the peace for 27 days, earth will be free of invasion? You have my word, professor. 27 days... You ask us to learn in 27 days What has escaped the world for thousand of years? You ask us to practice peace or die.

The choice is not new, professor.

Only the weapons.



Alien’s weapons test…middle of ocean……Yeah….that’s a religious cross on the right side of the dinghy

But what you mention at the end is a key aspect of the phenomena.

Whatever it is, it is not interested in 'helping' us. Manipulating? Yes. But genuinely helping ... no.

I think at best there will remain a sort of guarded neutrality between them and us. And even that is tenuous, if one believes certain reports.

Cheers

Adding……

Rep. Tim Burchett on UFO findings: ‘It’s a bogus cover-up’

…..”There’s an arrogance in government at that level that we cannot handle what’s going on out there,” Burchett said Monday as a guest of News Nation’s “On Balance with Leland Vittert.” “It’s a bogus cover-up. It doesn’t fit and it’s about power and control,” he continued.

Burchett has joined lawmakers on both sides of the aisle seeking to apply pressure on members of the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services committees after disappointment in their latest data collection efforts.”…..

boys and their dreams of new toys.

UFOs aren't a threat because of their technological superiority.

UFOs are a threat because they're strictly connected to our spiritual nature, a nature TPTB want to keep secret at all cost.
