Well if you've been following the news, you'll know full well that a week ago we were bombarded, literally, with UFO sightings in the media. According to an interview with Senator John Kennedy, this is not a recent phenomenon. *shocker*
He clarifies that the idea that our skies have long been clear and only recently spy balloons and unidentified flying objects have "rained down on us like confetti", is inaccurate. These objects have been in our airspace for many years and the government has known about them. He claims that the only thing that has changed, recently, is that the government is now shooting them down.
He goes on to explain that the remnants of these objects have yet to be retrieved because they are in very "difficult terrain" like low temperatures and inclement weather.
For those of you who may have been living under a rock - the U.S. shot down four objects over North America the first week of February. The first of which was the Chinese spy balloon. The remnants were collected off the coast of South Carolina on February 4. The second and third objects were smaller and shot down over Alaska and Canada, respectively. The fourth object was shot down over Lake Huron.
Senator Mark Warner came out of the same briefing and claimed that the balloon, specifically, was definitely a Chinese spying effort. They can't determine the others until the remains have been collected. He also claims that within the last year, in the "aero-program", there is now a "sophisticated effort" and reporting process so that pilots who encounter unidentified objects in the skies can basically be cleared, fairly quickly, to shoot them down.
Senator Warner claims that, on the other hand, there is NOT currently any real formal process in place for Universities or private research institutions to register aerial research devices with the FAA - much less relaying this information to those who defend our skies.
Just in case you weren't aware, there's a group of hobbyists who believe their research "pico balloon" to be one of the 'objects' shot down by the military. The group claims that their balloon has been MIA and it's final signal came on February 10th off the coast of Alaska. They projected it to have been floating towards the Yukon territory in Canada on February 11.
Senator Warner assured that these objects posed no threat to civilians.
In fact, Senator Marco Rubio, who was interviewed moments after Senator Warner, went so far as to say that this was never about aliens - but rather about learning whether an adversary has developed a capability that is unknown to the U.S. He, too, mentioned the inner-agency task force that was created to study these occurrences from a scientific perspective.
He also commented on the fact that they had been shot down, which he called "extraordinary", because "in 65 years of NORAD's existence (North American Aerospace Defense Command), there has never been anything shot down". So why now?
Senator Rubio went so far as to say that they've received hundreds of sightings with the same description over the years. He claimed that the Department of National Intelligence released a report earlier this year with over 500 of these incidents dating back years.
Could it be... that the reason they are suddenly shooting them down, is because they are finally taking these sightings seriously?
In my most current podcast episode, titled: In The Days of Noah: The Fallen Angel / Alien Connection, I discuss what has taken place behind the scenes the last few years leading to this "sophisticated effort" taken by the government.
In fact, my podcast episode was actually recorded a WEEK before these encounters happened in our skies. So these encounters had ZERO influence on the topic of my episode. I schedule my episodes months in advance - so the fact that this episode aired the week that these sightings occurred... was predestined.
If you listen to the episode, you will know that there has been much scrutiny throughout the years, within the military, towards servicemen who come forward with UFO encounters. Only recently, has there been a concentrated effort to prove that there is something, unknown, being encountered in our skies.
In 2019, the History Channel aired a show called: Unidentified. In the show, a team of top-level retired military and government officials, as well as leaders from some high ranking private programs who work alongside the military like Lockheed Marten Skunk Works Program, came together to investigate military encounters with UAPs. (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena)
The goal of the show was to gather enough evidence that they could legitimately go before Congress and present proof that there is something unknown being encountered by our military. They wanted our government to recognize it's reality so that we can begin designating funds towards a defense strategy. In the summer of 2019, this group actually went before Congress in a classified briefing which made news headlines across the country. The evidence was, undoubtedly, so compelling that it ultimately led the U.S. Navy to institute a formal UFO reporting mechanism which has sense received a staggering 510 UFO encounters - some dating as far back as the late 1990s. In April of 2020, the Pentagon declassified three UFO videos taken by Navy pilots, and those, too, hit the mainstream media. And just a couple of months ago, in December 2022, President Biden signed the National Defense Authorization Act, which includes several UFO provisions into law. Besides creating a powerful new UFO office, the legislation officially redefined “UFO” as UAP: “unidentified anomalous phenomena". A term that they are using to describe any unknown object observed not only in the air, but in both water and in space. So exactly as both Senator Kennedy and Senator Rubio are sharing: after years of encountering these objects in our skies... the only thing that has changed, is that they are officially taking them seriously. Whether or not these most current objects are just scientific weather balloons... or spy balloons from other countries (which I believe they are) - there's clearly been enough evidence brought before our government in the last three years to prove the possibility of extraterrestrial origin. This is what has changed. Whether you believe it or not... disclosure has already happened. It is no longer a question of IF they are real, but rather, what they are. And I think this is the real reason for why our government has suddenly become so "trigger happy."
