A 25-year-old woman vanished after pulling over to check on a toddler who was wandering alone along an Alabama interstate highway.

Carlethia 'Carlee' Nichole Russell was on the phone with her sister-in-law when she got out of her car to check up on the child. The family member then heard a sudden scream and shortly after, lost all contact with Russell.

When officers arrived at the location, they found Russell's car, along with her cell phone, purse, wig and apple watch in the nearby area - but Russell and the child were nowhere to be seen.

Comment: NYT reports:
A 25-year-old woman in Alabama who was reported missing on Thursday night after telling a 911 dispatcher that she saw a toddler walking along the side of an interstate and would pull over to help was found late on Saturday, according to the police.

The woman, Carlee Russell, showed up at her family's front door, knocked and was greeted by her stunned relatives, said Nicholas Derzis, the police chief in Hoover, a suburb of Birmingham.

He said he was not sure how Ms. Russell got there, but nobody was with her when she arrived. She was taken to a hospital for evaluation.

Dispatchers at Hoover 911 received a call at 10:45 p.m. on Saturday that said Ms. Russell had returned home, the police said in a statement.

[...]

Among the most puzzling details about the case is how no other driver on the heavily traversed interstate managed to spot a toddler walking on the side of the road that night, an image that would have surely prompted more 911 calls than just Ms. Russell's.

"That is a little unusual," Chief Derzis said on Saturday night before Ms. Russell was found.

[...]

"From the time that she stopped to the time that the first officer hits the blue lights and gets to the scene — we do not see another vehicle pull over or anything like that," Chief Derzis said.

An early tip about a gray vehicle with a man standing outside of Ms. Russell's vehicle was discounted after the footage review, the chief added.

The empire strikes back: Would-be UAP whistleblowers offered dire warning from US security clearance org

Clearance Jobs, an organization that defines itself as "the largest career network for professionals with federal government security clearance," has issued an apparent letter of guidance that also serves as a chilling warning to any industry or government insiders who are considering coming forward as UAP whistleblowers with evidence of their work with non-human craft and their pilots.

The letter, titled "How to Blow the Whistle if You Work With Flying Saucers and Their Alien Pilots," was issued to all subscribers via email on July 13th and is peppered with well-worn buzzwords seemingly meant to belittle the topic before laying out the dire consequences that likely await anyone who breaks their security oaths to talk about their classified work.

WHISTLEBLOWING SOMETHING GOOD?

After outlining the claims involving the U.S. government's alleged possession of non-human craft made by former intelligence officer David Grusch, claims which first appeared in a story by Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal and published by The Debrief (a story that was later expanded upon to include potential alien pilots of these crafts in an interview with Grusch by Australian investigative journalist Ross Coulthart that aired on cable news network News Nation), the letter is broken into five segments.

The first, titled "Whistleblowing Something Good," opens with more loaded phrasing and language, including the second use of the term "space aliens," which seems to have replaced the classic "little green men" when trying to downplay and stigmatize the topic, before positing a scenario where Grusch's claims are actually found to be true.

Comment: This letter from Clearance Jobs seems either woefully misinformed or deliberately misleading. Either way, the effect on those reading it will be a chilling effect. The fact is, the government has in effect given immunity for any information provided on such programs. Whether or not it protects anyone coming forward, however, is another matter. Grusch will be the test case, either way, and rumor has it he will be testifying before Burchett and Luna's congressional hearing on the 26th.

Call your first witness: Admiral Wilson still waiting for his followup interview

Ronald Moultrie and Scott Bray
See No Evil and Hear No Evil plead ignorance at a UFO hearing on Capitol Hill in 2022: Will the Pentagon ever take a formal position on the Wilson Memo?
In May 2022, during the first congressional hearing on UFOs in more than half a century, Rep. Mike Gallagher entered the so-called Wilson Memo into the Congressional Record, primarily for the benefit of a two-man audience. Charged with getting the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence up to snuff on the UFO/UAP mystery, Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Ronald Moultrie and Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray instead sat granite-faced while claiming they knew nothing about the firestorm of controversy raging on the Internet since it popped up in 2019.

Also known as Core Secrets and the Smoking Gun for their exquisitely detailed inclusion of names, dates and places, the Wilson Memo is a 15-page set of notes and correspondence concerning clandestine and possibly unlawful government programs involving the attempted exploitation of UFO technology.

Those transcripts describe an alleged meeting between physicist Eric Davis and Thomas Wilson, the vice admiral who ran the Defense Intelligence Agency until retiring three months before the two crossed paths in Las Vegas in 2002. During their conversation, the admiral vents his outrage with Davis over being personally rebuffed by the defense contractor in charge of a reverse-engineering program when he tried to learn more about the classified project. Even worse, Wilson's Pentagon colleagues sustained the unnamed corporation's objections.

The notes, purportedly written by Davis either during or immediately after the meeting, also indicate that, if word of their encounter ever leaked, Davis would clam up and Wilson would deny it ever happened. Davis has declined to comment since the documents dropped online four years ago, and Wilson has repeatedly denied knowing Eric Davis.

Congressional hearing with UFO whistleblowers slated for July 26

At the US Capitol, sneers, eye-rolling and gossip are starting to replace the inquisitive awe that initially accompanied whistleblower David Grusch's claims the federal government has recovered otherworldly craft and kept those programs secret from Congress.

At the end of June, Republican leaders poo-poohed some potential witnesses and now NASA officials have reportedly pulled out altogether from the House Oversight Committee's upcoming hearing into UFOs, but the two Republican lawmakers spearheading the investigation still plan to hold the public hearing on Wednesday, July 26.

"Yeah. Yup. We got the hearing - so we got the date confirmed," Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) tells Ask a Pol. "We'll be releasing names about a week prior."

EXCLUSIVE AUDIO: Luna confirms UAP hearing date to Ask a Pol

Ask a Pol has learned Luna and her co-chair for the hearing, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN), have gotten "some pressure from the Pentagon and NASA" since announcing their formal investigation into UFOs (aka UAPs, or Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, according to NASA).

People familiar with planning for the hearing confirm NASA's stopped cooperating but one source adds, "I don't care, because they're covering it up anyway."

Comment: Ask a Pol's previous conversation with Luna (a Trump endorsement) and has some more details:
"So what we're focusing on is, one, getting the information out to the American people: Clearly, this is a big galaxy that we live in and that there is very likely technology that we are unaware of where it's come from — and so, does this pose a national security threat?" Luna tells Ask a Pol.

Number two:

"It's important that instead of trying to make this conspiratorial and poo-pooing it, that people are actually understanding that it's very likely that there's other life forms out there and that we're not alone in this universe and that we can address these things with a scientific mindset," Luna says.

Last month, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer confirmed he tapped Luna and Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) to lead his committee's investigation into new claims made by whistleblower David Grusch, who claims the federal government has recovered otherworldly craft. And also hidden it from Congress.

"So Burchett and Luna, on my committee, are the two that are kinda taking the lead in that. It's interesting. It's not an issue I'm an expert in so I don't know anything about it, but apparently Burchett and Luna are so they're really excited and our staffs are real excited about it," Comer told Ask a Pol.

Ex-Pentagon official & Jacques Vallée suggest higher-dimensional beings crossing Into our world

In a recent interview with journalist Ross Coulthart on NewsNation, Pentagon UFO whistleblower David Grusch dropped bombshell statements on UFO phenomena or UAPs, claiming that the United States and other world governments have retrieved intact and partially intact crafts of Non-Human Intelligence (NHI). The origin and reason behind these crashes is still unknown, but Grusch postulated that certain NHI, commonly associated with UFO sightings, might originate from higher-dimensional planes of existence.

Grusch made a sensational claim by stating that in 1945, the United States intercepted a mysterious craft that was initially recovered by Mussolini's forces in Italy back in 1933. As evidence of this extraordinary event, Grusch presented a handwritten Italian memo containing small drawings at the bottom. What made this revelation even more intriguing was the implication of the Vatican's involvement, suggesting the religious institution was not only aware of the existence of NHI but also actively participated in suppressing this information.

Grusch made significant assertions regarding the NHI, stating that these entities might be extraterrestrial or interdimensional, or possibly both. He described sightings and recoveries of multiple operational crafts of various sizes, including one as large as a football field. Alarmingly, he revealed the recovery of NHI bodies and hinted at potential formal agreements between the U.S. government and some NHI factions.

Bipartisan measure backed by Chuck Schumer aims to force release of UFO records

Keeping America safe!
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the majority leader, is pushing legislation to create a commission with broad authority to declassify government documents about U.F.O.s and extraterrestrial matters, in an attempt to force the government to share all that it knows about unidentified phenomena.

The measure offers the possibility of pushing back against the conspiracy theories that surround discussions of U.F.O.s and fears that the government is hiding critical information from the public.


Comment: The line between this and a cover-up is very thin. The government has hidden critical information, and anyone who says otherwise is either lying or woefully incompetent.


The legislation, which Mr. Schumer will introduce as an amendment to the annual defense policy bill, has bipartisan support, including that of Senator Marco Rubio, the Florida Republican, who has championed legislation that has forced the government to release a series of reports on unidentified phenomena. Support in the House is also likely. On Wednesday, the chamber included a narrower measure in its version of the annual defense bill that would push the Pentagon to release documents about unidentified aerial phenomena.

(While the government has agreed not to call mysterious sightings U.F.O.s, various branches and agencies disagree on whether to refer to aerial phenomena or anomalous phenomena.)

The Senate measure sets a 300-day deadline for government agencies to organize their records on unidentified phenomena and provide it to the review board.

Comment: Only the NYT could report on news like this in such a boring manner. Good job, Julian. Also note that there is no mention of Grusch:

Congressman has grim take after access to UFO footage: 'We can't handle it'

A Tennessee lawmaker issued a dire warning after claiming to have seen classified UFO footage that hasn't been released to the public.

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., speculated extraterrestrial life forms could have technology that humanity "can't handle" during an appearance on the "Event Horizon" podcast.

"If they're out there, they're out there, and if they have this kind of technology, then they could turn us into a charcoal briquette," Burchett said.

"And if they can travel light years or at the speeds that we've seen, and physics as we know it, fly underwater, don't show a heat trail, things like that, then we are vastly out of our league."

Burchett is a sitting member on the House Oversight Committee, which has held hearings about potential threats of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), a government-derived term for UFOs.

"We can't handle it," Burchett said during his podcast appearance about potential alien tech. "We couldn't fight them off if we wanted to. That's why I don't think they're a threat to us, or they would already have been."

Comment: Burchett recently appeared on both Project Unity and Weaponized to discuss his work in Congress on UFOs:

Majority of US voters believe govt knows more about UFOs than they're letting on as Congress preps to investigate Grusch's claims

A majority of U.S. eligible voters believe the U.S. government knows more about UFOs than the public ahead of an investigation into claims about the existence of spacecraft, according to new polling exclusively conducted for Newsweek.

The poll, carried out by Redfield & Wilton Strategies, comes as the House of Representatives has said it would launch an investigation after a former intelligence official said the U.S. was in possession of non-human vehicles.

The survey, conducted on July 6, found 57 percent of respondents believed that the U.S. government has more information about UFOs and alien life than it publicly shared. And 21 percent said they did not think this was the case, while 22 percent said they did not know.

In June, former U.S. Air Force and intelligence officer David Grusch told The Debrief that "intact and partially intact vehicles" had been recovered by authorities, and that information was being hidden from U.S. lawmakers.

James Comer, the Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee, then said there would be a hearing into the claims. The investigation is to be led by GOP Representatives Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Tim Burchett of Tennessee, who told Newsweek that retrieved UFO technology could be "being reverse-engineered right now," but we "don't understand" how it works.

Grusch then told the NewsNation network that objects of "non-human" origin had been discovered and collected.

'True' or 'crazy'? UFO whistleblowers coming 'out of the woodwork'

In a June 26 interview with NewsNation, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) stated that multiple individuals had corroborated a whistleblower's explosive allegations of a secret, decades-long UFO crash retrieval and reverse-engineering effort.

As the top Republican on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and a member of the so-called Gang of Eight, Rubio's extraordinary comments carry particular weight.

According to Rubio, only one of two remarkable outcomes will ultimately explain recent developments, "Either what [the whistleblower] is saying is partially true or entirely true," he said, "or we have some really smart, educated people with high clearances and very important positions in our government who are crazy and are leading us on a goose chase."

"Most of these people," Rubio continued, "have held very high clearances and high positions within our government. So, you ask yourself: What incentive would so many people with that kind of qualification — these are serious people — have to come forward and make something up?"

Pressed for details, Rubio stated that individuals with "firsthand knowledge or firsthand claims" are "saying to us what you've seen out there in the public record, whether it's about legacy [UFO] programs or about current events."

According to Rubio, the whistleblowers' statements are beyond "the realm of what any of us [on the Senate Intelligence Committee] has ever dealt with."

UFO-hunting Harvard scientists say debris from unidentified object that crashed into Pacific Ocean in 2014 appears 'artificial in origin', could be remnants of an 'interstellar spacecraft'

IM1 spheres recovered ufo crash
The Berkeley lab's new analysis of the IM1 spheres (examples pictured) now shows that the object was likely almost entirely composed of iron, which Harvard astrophysicist and Galileo Project founder Avi Loeb noted is unlike any meteors or asteroids known to man.
Tiny metal fragments recovered from an interstellar object that crashed into the Pacific Ocean appear 'artificial in origin', scientists say.

A Harvard duo recovered 50 unusual iron spheres after tracking down the unidentified object, known as IM1, off the coast of Papua New Guinea last week as part of a $ 1.5 million underwater search mission.

New lab analysis of the metal spheres reveals they are 'anomalous' and stronger than any observed meteor produced by nature, according to Professor Avi Loeb, former chair of Harvard's astronomy department who led the research.

Comment: It's worth noting the U.S. Space Command had kept data on this interstellar object classified, which prevented scientists from verifying the discovery for 3 years. Who knows what data or material has been kept under lock and key.
