Retired US Army Colonel says secret UFO projects should be made public by October 2030 - to beat America's rivals and get ahead of a 'catastrophic' leak

Nearly two decades ago, a think-tank in Washington D.C. invited past and present government officials from the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Pentagon and elsewhere to debate the risks of revealing the truth about UFOs.

The 2004 event — according to a former CIA scientist who went public with the shocking story Friday — broke into working groups to weigh the positive and negative ramifications of declassifying America's top secret UFO programs.

Every working group according to that scientist, Dr. Hal Puthoff, came back with the same conclusion: the societal risks of UFO 'disclosure' were just too great.

But now, a host of Washington insiders are calling for a strategic 'campaign' to drag these alleged UFO reverse-engineering programs out into public view.

The pivot emerged this weekend at an invite-only conference of former government officials, tenured physicists and other academic researchers, activists and reporters, held at Stanford University and attended by DailyMail.com.

Ufology is a topic where essentially anything that can plausibly be said about the phenomenon, correctly or incorrectly, has been said. Newfound nuggets of information come down the pipe all the time. Most people can't be bothered to give them the time of day because the credibility of the information is uncertain, at least without rigorous research. So the valuable part of this patchwork of information actually comes from identifying the provenance of any piece of information, rather than the piece of information itself. This post adds fresh evidence to the provenance, and content of, one particularly fateful alleged meeting.

Pt. 1: September 24th, 1947, The White House

To appreciate this post, the reader will need at least a passing familiarity with the Majestic-12 documents and therefore what Majestic-12 represents in ufology. The document in question here is: https://majesticdocuments.com/pdf/truman_forrestal.pdf, (and reinforced by this subsequent document) Document Summary: September 24th, 1947 marks the start of using the name Majestic Twelve, in which Vannevar Bush and James Forrestal will be active members.

Remember, the authenticity of the above two, and any/all of the rest of the Majestic documents is not guaranteed. Increasing confidence in any of them relies on looking at corroborated external sources.

Therefore the central question is, are any of the Majestic documents authentic even allowing that some forgeries could be inserted among them to sour the milk? It's a question that preoccupied the late famed UFO researcher Stanton Friedman, and the compilers of the majesticdocuments.com website, Robert and Ryan Wood.

One of history's giants, Vannevar Bush, is central to the Majestic documents. Yet even without subscribing to their authenticity, (indeed before I knew he was referenced in the Majestic documents), I recognized from the nuclear establishment + UFOs angle that he, among others, would almost certainly have been read-in.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) on Sunday, had received information about an unidentified flying object near the Imphal airport. Soon after that, the AF appointed two of it's Rafale fighter jets for the search operation.

According to the media reports, the unidentied flying object in question was spotted around 2:30 pm on Sunday, which had also resulted in delayed operations of few of the commercial flights.

Defence sources were quoted in a report by ANI, 'Soon after information about the UFO near the Imphal airport was received, a Rafale fighter aircraft from a nearby airbase was scrambled to go and search for the UFO'.

The sonic boom was concluded to be too close to be considered a meteor.

An unexplained incident has concerned Nasa and locals in the area, with some wondering if this could be an alien sighting.

On Monday, residents in Minnesota witnessed a bright object flying across the sky, following a loud bang that rattled their homes.

Comment: Since "It is undetermined if the two videos are related," could it be there were two unrelated events happening at roughly the same time?

Why do UFO sightings keep happening near nuclear sites?

Encounters is now streaming on Netflix.

The Enmyoin Temple in the Fukushima prefecture of Japan is now known colloquially by a different name, said its Chief Monk, Tomonori Izumi: "The Miracle Temple."

"I don't know if it was some god or some powerful being in a UFO, but I believe that some invisible power really did come to save us," said Izumi.

On March 11 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was the site of one of the worst nuclear disasters ever after an earthquake and subsequent tsunami caused its electrical grid to fail. The simultaneous disasters laid waste to much of the surrounding area, but "miraculously, the temple was untouched."

"The UFO's came after the explosion. There were so many of them. I was shocked," said the monk in the fourth episode of the VICE Studio's Netflix docuseries series Encounters: "Lights Over Fukushima."

"Radioactive energy was leaking everywhere. I believe the UFOs came to readjust the flood of radioactive energy in order to save us. That's my theory, anyway," said Izumi.

Just like after the Fukushima disaster, UFO's have been documented repeatedly around places where humans have spawned nuclear activity. There are "very clear connections" between UFO sightings and nuclear sights "going back decades," said author Dr. Jensine Andresen.

UK: Woman spots two 'UFOs' in Stockport including one resembling the US Navy's white 'tic tac'

The two objects were seen over separate nights in the first week of October

Bizarre aerial objects are usually considered an American phenomena, but new imagery shows two over the north of England.

A 'concerned citizen', who wishes not to be named, has described sightings of the unidentified flying objects (UFOs) from her back garden in Stockport.

The first, described as looking like a square or triangle, had a hazy appearance and was changing shape and 'darting around the sky'. Meanwhile, the second object - a much brighter white in colour and 'shaped like a Tic Tac' - kept vanishing and reappearing.

One of the most famous and unusual UFOs to date, spotted by the US Navy in 2004, was the floaty white oblong similar to the breath mint.

Are aliens real? We asked the Pentagon's outgoing UFO chief

Sean Kirkpatrick

Sean Kirkpatrick is not done talking about UFOs.

For nearly 18 months, he's been the first head of the Pentagon's fledgling office tasked with investigating what the government calls "unidentified anomalous phenomena," which military pilots have increasingly reported seeing in the skies.

Kirkpatrick set up an entire system for collecting data, waded through hundreds of reported UFO sightings and batted down whistleblower claims that the government covered up a program to reverse-engineer alien craft. And don't forget the Chinese spy balloon episode.

In an interview with POLITICO Magazine, he talked about why he's stepping down in December and how he sought to "institutionalize the solution for getting at the heart of these anomalies." The Pentagon has a real interest in deciphering the sharp rise in unidentified crafts spotted by military pilots; if these aren't aliens, they could be foreign adversaries posing incredibly new threats.


Comment: No one is buying the Kirkpatrick AARO dog and pony show. They are pretending this is a new problem to solve. They did all this already in the 1950s, and they're pretending it never happened.


Kirkpatrick, 55, was perhaps the perfect person to lead what's formally known as the Defense Department's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which was established in July 2022. A physicist who spent decades working in the defense-intelligence arena, he's open to the possibility that we're not alone in the universe, having co-authored a hotly-debated paper about alien motherships. But his bottom line is to focus on the science.

Mexican Congress hears evidence of 'non-human beings' during UFO session

"Three-fingered mummies" previously displayed to officials are "real," scientists have stated...

Scientists have told the Mexican Congress that analysis of mummified remains purported to be evidence of non-human life has shown them to be authentic. However, experts declined to indicate if they believed the samples, which were initially presented to the legislature in September, were extraterrestrial in origin.

Journalist and self-proclaimed UFO expert Jaime Maussan first presented the diminutive humanoid figures to the lower chamber of the Mexican Congress two months ago, claiming they had been found in Peru. In his presentation to lawmakers, Maussan stated they were evidence of "non-human beings that are not part of our terrestrial evolution."

Roger Zuniga, an anthropologist from the San Luis Gonzaga National University, told Reuters on the sidelines of Tuesday's three-hour legislative session discussing the three-fingered mummified specimens:
"They're real. There was absolutely no human intervention in the physical and biological formation of these beings."
Scientists had closely studied five similar samples over a four-year period.

'Aliens,' or a foreign power? Pentagon UFO chief says someone is in our backyard

This week, the director of the U.S. government's UFO analysis office stated that there is "evidence" of concerning unidentified flying object activity "in our backyard." According to physicist Seán Kirkpatrick, who heads the congressionally-mandated All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, this alarming UFO activity can be attributed to one of two extraordinary sources: either a foreign power or "aliens."

To be sure, the ramifications of either would be significant. But Kirkpatrick's comments, which come as he is about to retire after a 27-year defense and intelligence-focused career, are more intriguing because he also says that "none" of the hundreds of military UFO reports analyzed by his office recently "have been positively attributed to foreign activities."

At the same time, Kirkpatrick and senior defense officials have ruled out the possibility that secret U.S. programs or experimental aircraft explain the phenomena.

While suspicious UFO cases will "continue to be investigated" for foreign links, the facts at hand appear to support Kirkpatrick's more startling explanation for the UFO activity in America's backyard: "aliens."

Aside from this remarkable development, the mere suggestion by a top government official that "aliens" could explain some UFO activity is the latest example of a striking shift in tone regarding the UFO phenomenon.

Air Force officer breaks silence on 'red, glowing UFO the size of a football field' hovering at low altitude over California space launch base

Ex-US Air Force security officer Jeff Nuccetelli ufo sighting vandenburg
© Merged podcastEx-US Air Force security officer Jeff Nuccetelli has come forward to detail his official, rapid-response investigation into a 100-yard long, 'red square' UFO as it occurred in October 2003.
The event was witnessed by over half a dozen military personnel: 'People were screaming and scared'

Twenty years ago this October, military contractors working for Boeing reported 'a gigantic floating red square' UFO — over 100 yards long — hovering in the morning air over a launch site at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

The eerie 2003 event first exploded into public view this July, in sworn testimony before Congress, but now an ex-US Air Force security officer has come forward to detail his official, rapid-response investigation into the UFO on the day it occurred.

'This is not a joke,' ex-USAF senior patrolman, Jeff Nuccetelli, told the Merged podcast Tuesday. 'These are contractors with top secret clearances.'

Nuccetelli also revealed a second reported encounter with the 'red square,' in which two of his fellow USAF police patrol officers 'got buzzed by the UFO.'

'When I showed up, it's just mayhem,' as Nuccetelli recalled it. 'Everybody's excited. They're scared. Everyone's freaked out.'
