So...definitely aliens, then?



Congress Defines UFOs to Exclude Man Made Objects

by Diana Logan

There has been renewed interest in UFOs and their origin in the public in recent years, particularly after the government declassified records of many of its own encounters, and Congressional hearings were convened to discuss the matter more thoroughly. Long derided by serious scholars, scientists, and government officials, the case to discredit UFO eyewitnesses turned out to be a Cold War-era psyop designed to keep people’s supposed sightings from overwhelming early warning systems that were supposed to be watching out for Soviet spy planes, or worse, missiles.

But now, it’s hard to turn everything around and tell people that yeah, these things are real, and we have no idea what they are. Even when presidents all the way back to Clinton have attempted to speak matter-of-factly about the issue, they’ve been publicly laughed at and ridiculed. Though the Senate has convened a robust new office to deal with these topics, most people close to think they are not real, or are a cover up for some other threat.

For years, even UFO enthusiasts have waffled as to the nature of these objects. Perhaps they are of extra-terrestrial origin, or perhaps they are a secret form of technology in our own government, or from an Earth society somehow unknown to us.

But Congress has defined them as definitely being other than man-made. In their recent 2023 Intelligence Authorization Act, they specifically addressed the new office, and stated: “Temporary nonattributed objects, or those that are positively identified as man-made after analysis, will be passed to appropriate offices and should not be considered under the definition as unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena.”

So first we called them UFOs, and then UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomenon). Now, it seems, as if their trans-medium nature is the one of most interest to the feds.

Lots of media squawk these days, but at least its now a legitimate topic. Still a mystery, UFOs, UAPs, Crop Circles, USOs, Cattle Mutilations, Big Foot etc. Something is going on. Starting to think interdimensional?

Maurice, I'd actually consider that just as reasonable as small alien spaceships which zip around randomly after traveling many times the speed of light to get here . . . and then doing nothing that makes sense. Rolling Eyes

UFOs just don't seem to act like spacecraft on a interstellar mission. They act more like joy-riding teenagers in flying hot rods.

As for this big deal new investigation, note the vague phrases in the short video below.

"This is really important to us. We're placing a high priority on it."

Okay, so scientists are suddenly getting serious about this . . . because Congress talked about out loud. Rolling Eyes

"I'm hoping we'll get this done by October. But I will cross my fingers and say that we could be able to get it done sooner than than."

Ummm . . . get WHAT done? Explain 75 years of baffling phenomenon just by looking over the same evidence that's been around for decades?

Perhaps they're going to arrest some illegal (space) aliens and interrogate them until they tell us what the hell they're doing here. Laughing
