Quote:Dr. Davis, author of the famous Wilson-Davis memo, provided specific information lending credence to sensational reports that an official US government program is actively seeking to exploit recovered technology that was fashioned by some other species or perhaps advanced AI machines. Much of the information Dr. Davis provided remains highly classified, but the good news is that these sensational claims, which have the potential to transform our understanding of the universe and man’s place within it, are now being taken seriously and properly investigated. I’ve brought others besides Dr. Davis and Lue Elizondo to the Hill and the AARO office and I am encouraging anyone else who may be able to help set the record straight to step forward as well.
Unprecedented UAP Legislation

Quote:Soviet Union witnessed invasion of US-made UFOs in 1980s

The first “flying saucers” could not cover long distances, and Americans had to use submarines to deliver those saucers to the Soviet shores. The Pentagon was testing the third generation of flying saucers when the Soviet Union just started development of similar mechanisms. A correspondent of PRAVDA.Ru is going to break the secrecy requirement and publish a story told by a former engineer of an enterprise where UFO components were manufactured.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the USSR witnessed an invasion of unidentified flying objects. Some of the “visits” were particularly curious. In December 1989, policemen in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk came to a scene of actio and witnessed “some dark apparatuses with colored lights” were experimenting on a power line going to a local aluminum plant. Other acquaintances of the man who told the story witnessed objects flying over the Yenisei River and the city of Krasnoyarsk. The man himself saw an UFO earlier, April 26, 1989 in the Ural Region. Where did the strange machines that were obviously made by humans come from?

In news films about the history of aviation one can see a strange device resembling a huge motorized and manned umbrella. This umbrella can twitch up and down, and can even hover in the air for a second when twitching down. Inventor Chance Vought tested the umbrella plane in 1911 in America.

The device is an ancestor of contemporary flying saucers. The 1911 umbrella plane looks funny, but it is unlikely that the American inventor spent money on making the machine just for fun. The flight principle based on generating compression under a vibrating plane is no worse than the flight principle of traditional airplanes. When the device was being created, engineers realized that it would give a higher lifting force. Step by step it turned out during the tests that the device could perform a flight if the oscillation frequency was measured in megahertz and the amplitude of oscillation in millimeters. But at that time there were no technologies to get the total power of vibration and achieve supersonic frequency.

The aircraft-building company of Chance Vought cooperated with the Naval Department. The Skimmer flying saucer that appeared after WWII was a result of the cooperation. It is believed to be an experimental variant of a propeller-driven airplane, however it is not ruled out that Chance Vought made the model especially for running tests of the aerodynamic lift of electrokinetic engines.

In the late 1940s, first flying saucers appeared in the US. They resembled telephone loudspeakers: impulse electromagnets made one or several huge membranes beat the air at a megahertz frequency. And a streamline top part of the device provided the difference of drag forces on the top and on the bottom. But still some facts pertaining to the strange device remained unclear.

A flying saucer could not generate any lifting force until it threw something off the way rockets did. This is a ring whirl: it does not leave vacuum to intake a flying saucer. It is necessary to keep a saucer on the ring whirl just for a couple of microseconds, the period within which a new whirl is generated.

Flying saucers with impulse electromagnets were heavy and could not cover long distances. So, Americans had to use submarines to deliver them to the Soviet shores that gave rise to stories telling that UFOs emerged from under water. Later, new devices appeared where no electromagnetic field was used to shake a propelling membrane. The bodies of such devices were made of piezoceramic,and vibration appeared thanks to thepiezoelectric effect (weknow that piezoelectric tweeters make the sound in electronic alarm clocks and mobile phones). The new generation apparatuses were no longer saucers but spheres, ellipsoids and other three-dimensional figures haloed with ionized gas.


The USSR got UFOs of its own in the 1960s-70s. Once, Soviet Academician Shklovsky asserted in the popular informational program Vremya (Time) that there were no other creatures besides earth dwellers in the Universe. It sounded like an official statement of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party saying that no aliens ever existed, and all reports alleging that people witnessed UFOs were misinformation. Special committees immediately started censoring newspaper publications and deleted everything that could be connected with UFO visits and aliens. Also, the Tekhnika Molodezhi (Technics for Youth) popular magazine issued a publication about civil use of a secret technology, the electropulse de-icers that cleared ice mounds off IL-86 wings. The publication was also supplied with a scheme of impulse supply going to inductors that made aluminum planes vibrate.

At that very period Americans already had the third generation of flying saucers, dark objects with just few zones on them glowing. Those were whirl activators: the glow on the bottom to make the object fly and the glow on the side (so-called illuminators) to make it move to the sides.

Flying saucers are not in fact fantastic aliens landing this planet with antigravity machines but quite earthly apparatuses with electrokinetic engines that wentup and down thanks to creating vortex rings. This is an absolutely unusual and strange idea to us indeed. However, as far as we believe in the existence of aliens we should also recognize a new flight technology that was invented some time ago and has been kept secret until recently. When explained clearly, the principles of the technology are quite understandable and do not seem to be fantastic. We know that vortexes are also very important in generating the lifting force of flying insects, take a dragonfly for instance.

Now that we know the principle of flight of flying saucers we can trace the development stages of the technology. But despite of the fact the American military are not going to declassify the technique. These days UFOs can be often observed in Iran that proves that the US keeps on employing its secret apparatuses.

A question arises why the break-through transport technology has never been declassified and officially used? In fact, application of the revolutionary breakthrough technology would have inevitably resulted in transforming the entire of the civilization and infringed upon the interests of a great number of people. Such apparatuses could help easily cross governmental borders, the thing that would have made them a cherished dream of terrorists and drug dealers. Such machines could be more popular than transport using petrol which would inevitably mean bankruptcy of oil tycoons and automakers. And the key reason of the secrecy in this situation is the fact that use of such flying saucers contradicts the international law; these machines cross governmental borders without notification of authorities. So, the advantages are worthy of keeping the invention secret for so many years. And this is why the secret of flying saucers was kept for so long.

The man who told the story about the secret of UFOs says it is time to say goodbye to a nice legend about aliens no matter how we like it.

Quote:MYSTERY MACHINES
I am a Boeing 747 pilot – I’ve seen UFOs defying all known tech & I captured a cigar-shaped object
on camera

'A Boeing 747 captain with some 9,500 hours of flight time at controls has told of his bizarre encounters with
UFOs while taking to the skies. Christiaan van Heijst explained he has witnessed objects which appear to exceed
all known technology as they appeared to hit hypersonic speeds of up to 23,000mph.


Christiaan van Heijst, he still uses wings.

The 39-year-old, from The Netherlands, is a respected airman and an an award-winning aerial photographer - and
yet he has seen things he cannot explain. UFOs are traditionally a highly stigmatised topic - often being dismissed
off hand as nothing beyond conspiracy theories or something for the world of cranks.

But in recent years the conversation has moved, with even the US government confessing their are things in the sky
which they as of yet cannot or will not publicly identify. The topic even has a new name - UAP (unidentified aerial
phenomenon).

And with former US military pilots coming forward to tell about their own unexplained experiences, that piqued the
interest of Christiaan. "I realized that what they described sounded very much like some of the strange things I have
seen years before," the pilot told The Sun Online. "I always thought it was some 'military stuff' I had seen, but now
it was possibly something else entirely that even stunned some of the best US military pilots on record."

Christiaan has been flying for 20 years - starting out as a champion aerobatics pilot before moving over to commercial
planes. He has close to 9,500 total flight hours, and 6,000 of them on the Boeing 747 - one of the world's largest and
most popular aircraft.

And he while he says some 99 per cent of the weird stuff he sees in the sky can be dismissed, there are still a "handful"
of sightings which for him defy explanation. Christiaan emphasised that as a pilot, he is trained to spot things in the sky
- with his main objective when he's at the control being to keep his plane safe.

"If I see something that catches my eye, I immediately want to know if it is another aeroplane, something weather-related,
military or anything else that might jeopardise my flight. Anything else is secondary," he told The Sun Online.

"That is also why airline pilots are credible 'trained observers': we don't search for UAP, we evaluate everything we see
based on our thorough knowledge of aerial observations, meteorological experience and wonder if anything has a direct
influence on our flightpath or aeroplane."

And for Christiaan, one of his most compelling and strange sightings was over Greece as he was flying near USS
Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier and her strike group. He was flying a Fokker 50 at the time and witnessed a bright
light appear at an extremely high altitude - moving at an approximate speed of up to Mach 30 (23,000mph).

"No known physics can describe what that light/thing did, for as far as I know. It left no trail or anything like it, just
instant speed and poof… gone," said Christiaan. He is unsure if his sighting was connected with the nuclear-powered
aircraft carrier down below, which was carry out missions linked to the Iraq War in September, 2005.


A strange object in the sky.

Other unexplained encounters include a falling light moving "very fast" as it plunged towards the ground - with no
information on the object from air traffic control in July 2005 as he flew over Germany.

And another saw his Boeing 737 encounter a ball of white light flying over the Adriatic Sea in February 2009.
The light fell towards the sea before disappearing beneath the surface without a splash.

Christiaan also shared with The Sun Online what appears to be a cigar shaped object that he took in January 2010
- with his encounter with the object lasting over an hour. He was flying from Amsterdam to Malaga at 41,000 feet
when they spotted the shape around 100 nautical miles ahead of them.

Air traffic control told them there was no other aircraft in the area. The object appeared to be large and stationary,
hanging in the sky and blocking out part of the sun. It was flying much higher than commercial air traffic, and military
air traffic control denied there was any activity in the area.

Christiaan snapped a picture, which after being enhanced by an AI system appears to show a black shape hanging
in the sky. The photo being analysed by IPACO, which is run by the French space agency's UFO investigation group
GEIPAN. Christiaan does not have a theory on what these objects may be - but he is hopeful that one day there will
be explanation. And he hopes the stigma around UFO discussions will continue to break down.

"Even rational explanations of some of the sightings might help other pilots to identify some spectacular, but mundane
things they see from above," the pilot told The Sun Online. "We might actually stumble on a rare and new atmospheric
phenomena, but the only way we can be sure is to collect data and analyse it without bias."

Christiaan said he used to "disregard" his own sightings - fearing they could be "too far fetched for me to seriously
contemplate". "Every once in a while the topic comes up among colleagues, though I rarely start the conversation
myself," he said. "Some of my colleagues have seen some truly extraordinary things during their career, but they
only discussed it with me once they felt they wouldn't be [ridiculed]"

He went on: "Personally I'm not afraid to talk about this topic as I try to steer away from speculating about the
origins or nature of what it could be. "I just want to know what it is I've witnessed and if it is of any concern for
the safety of my flight."

Christiaan added: "It was until somewhere in the 1800s that the idea of 'rocks falling from the sky' was regarded
as absurd and in the realm of fantasy, today they are commonly know them as meteorites and part of nature.
"Getting rid of the stigma is a process that takes time, but we're getting there. "Step by step."

He urged aviation and security agencies around the world to continue collecting data on the phenomenon - and
added he was pleased that discussion is opening up in the US. "I doubt we will ever hear all the US military and
intelligence agencies know about 'it' because of obvious national safety concerns," Christiaan told The Sun Online.

"But I believe that a general acceptance of the subject will eventually create a snowball-effect that might result in
some form of disclosure or understanding." Is it aliens or some sort of global conspiracy? Christiaan says that is a
"tempting trap" to fall into - but he simply urged further investigation.

He added: "Only by collecting data can we start to analyse whatever is going on.
"We just have to stay open-minded to the 'one percent' that is genuinely unknown, whatever it is. I can't wait to find
out what I've seen." US lawmakers set up new Pentagon investigation after a stunning string of leaked videos which
showed military encounters with UFOs such as the infamous "Tic Tac".

It marked an incredible turnaround after the government dismissed UFOs at the conclusion of Project Blue Book in
the 1960s. The debate which was for decades considered a fringe and damaging topic is now being openly spoke
about by very senior figures, including former President Bill Clinton and Barack Obama...'

Quote:The truth about an alleged 1960s report by SHAPE on the threat posed by UFOs?

Over the years the Historical Office has been asked many times for a copy of an alleged top secret report by SHAPE from the 1960s assessing the threat posed by UFOs to NATO.
 
A retired U.S. Army Sergeant Major named Robert O. Dean has frequently claimed in speeches and internet postings that while stationed at SHAPE in the mid-1960s he read a highly classified document with the title "The Assessment: An Evaluation of a Possible Threat to NATO Forces in Europe”, which studied all aspects of the existence of UFOS and the potential threat they posed to NATO. (For an idea of how widely such claims have circulated, just put the words "Assessment”,” UFOs”, "SHAPE”, and "NATO” into any search engine and see how many thousands of hits you get!)
 
We have analyzed these claims in detail, including a photograph alleged to be of the front cover of the assessment, and have concluded that the cover page is a forgery and that SHAPE prepared no report on UFOs during the 1960s. While some will no doubt dismiss this conclusion as part of some sort of long-standing cover-up of the existence of UFOs, we would like to point out that in the 1960s – like today - SHAPE was confronted by much more pressing threats than UFOS and did not have the time and resources to spend 2½ years studying them, as Sergeant Major Dean alleges. We are not saying that UFOs do or do not exist but simply that SHAPE did not prepare a report on them.

For the complete Historical Office analysis of the alleged 1964 SHAPE "Assessment” of UFOs, see "The Alleged SHAPE ‘Assessment" of UFOS: What the Official Historical Records Show” in the Historical Documents section.

Quote:It's common knowledge that the Republic of Cascadia was home to the first modern sightings of paraterrestrial craft, colloquially known as UFOs. Although the 1947 sighting of "flying saucers" near Mount Rainier is the most famous, that was actually the second sighting following an incident three days earlier on Maury Island that also marked the operational debut of the Men in Black.

Not as commonly known though is that Cascadia was home to some of the first sightings of Unidentified Flying Humanoids (UFHs) -- mysterious individuals employing personal flying devices of unknown technology toward inscrutable ends.

It all started with a curious encounter on Jan. 6, 1948 by Chehalis, Washington resident Bernize Zaikowski (reported here from the Jan. 21 Walla Walla Union-Bulletin):

The Birdmen of Cascadia

Quote:A UFO Abduction case?
On January 6, 1976, Mona Stafford celebrated her 36th birthday with friends Louise Smith and Elaine Thomas. The three women drove the thirty-five miles from their home in Liberty, Kentucky, to have dinner at the Redwoods Restaurant near Lancaster, Kentucky. At dinner, none of them drank any alcoholic, something that will later prove crucial to their story. At about 11:15, the trio headed back home but at Stanford, Kentucky, nine miles from Lancaster, a bright red object appeared in the sky, which Mona Stafford at first thought was an airplane on fire. As the object descended from the right side of the road to a point ahead of them, they could see that it was not an airplane, but a huge object bigger than "two houses." The object stopped about a hundred yards ahead of them, stretching across the road on both sides. It rocked back and forth for a couple of seconds, and then moved off to the left.

The women kept driving but after they had been about a quarter of a mile, a blue light appeared through the rear window of the car. At first they thought it was a highway patrol car with its lights flashing, but soon they realized that the flying object had circled around and had come up behind them.

Quote:The play 'High Strangeness' recalls Kentucky women's 1976 alien-abduction claim

It's the late 1970s again in the offices of Pioneer Playhouse. The main conference table is strewn with memorabilia of the era's UFO craze that culminated with Steven Spielberg's 1977 hit Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

There are books and magazines devoted to UFO and alien encounters and, of course, one of the all-time great chroniclers of close encounters, the National Enquirer.

Contained in the Oct. 19, 1976, edition of the supermarket tabloid is one of the most celebrated, and unexplained, cases of alien abduction ever: Three Kentucky women allegedly were taken aboard an alien spacecraft while driving on Ky. 78 between Stanford and Hustonville late on the night of Jan. 6 that year.

The women were put under hypnosis, and they submitted to lie-detector tests. Their stories held up.

The encounter stands as one of the few unexplained UFO incidents in the United States, and it lives on in the memories of area residents, as the cast and crew of Pioneer Playhouse's latest production have found.

High Strangeness is the latest Kentucky history play presented at the Playhouse, which has made a practice of mounting one play each season that's based on area history. The UFO play comes from the pen of Elizabeth Orndorff, who has written previous playhouse productions about a murder at Mammoth Cave (Death by Darkness, 2008) and the local legend that infamous bank robber John Dillinger spent time in Danville (The Dillinger Dilemma, 2010).

Lue Elizondo, who Liberation Times understands has worked with the U.S. Space Force regarding its own UAP investigation, commented:

Quote:"I believe that certain members of Congress are not only aware of the importance of this topic, but are aware of previous U.S. Government efforts to collect and study UAP-related information and incidents.

“Now that AARO is no longer under the chain of command of my old office, the OUSD(I), I would support increased authorities to Dr. Kirkpatrick in order to identify all U.S. Government equities, both past and present who may have been/are involved in UAP studies.

“During my time at AATIP we were made aware of previous efforts so it is only logical that Congress and AARO be made aware too.

“I would support the idea to establish a committee to quickly and accurately get to the bottom of this enigma.”

Liberation Times understands the idea of something akin to the Church Committee of 1975 (which investigated abuses by U.S. intelligence agencies) has been contemplated by some members of Congress since UAP whistleblower language was published in July 2022’s version of the Intelligence Authorization Act.

The new Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, is now reportedly ready to support a ‘Church-style’ committee to investigate alleged government abuses, including the FBI’s relationship with social media companies. Fellow House Republican, and incoming House Intelligence Committee Chair, Mike Turner (who represents Wright-Patterson Air Force Base), has recently been damning of the FBI’s resistance to turn over files regarding its relationship with social media companies and is contemplating the use of subpoena power if necessary. 

Behind the scenes, those advocating for an effort to identify government equities and possibly illegal secretive programs relating to UAP, would call for such a committee to extend and uncover further alleged abuses by intelligence agencies.

Such a trajectory could reflect the revelations which emerged from the Church Committee, that started with the U.S. Army’s spying on civilians and led to the uncovering of the CIA’s Operation MKULTRA, involving the drugging and torture of unknowing U.S. citizens as part of human experimentation on mind control.

A Lack Of Resources To Uncover Other UAP Efforts And To Meet The Intent Of Congress Has Led To AARO’s Failures

Within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Security (OUSDI&S), it is understood by Liberation Times that AARO’s director, Dr Kirkpatrick, had few resources. According to sources, this lack of resources contributed towards the delay of the scheduled annual UAP report, as it failed to match the intent of Congress, as set out within NDAA 2022.


In late February 2022, DoD spokesperson Susan Gough told Liberation Times that guidance was still being implemented so that the Office previously known as AOIMSG could meet Congressional intent. Gough also confirmed that almost three months following the signing of 2022’s UAP provisions into law, UAP incursions were continuing to be examined and analysed at fiscal 2021 year levels.

With such slow progress, it comes as no surprise that AARO’s UAP report has been delayed.

However, with Dr Kirkpatrick now largely unbuckled from the OUSDI&S, progress is hoped to accelerate, with Congress left unamused with efforts up until now.

New Hearings On The Horizon?

Despite the slow progress up to date, Lue Elizondo has told Liberation Times that he would not be surprised if new UAP Congressional hearings took place, commenting:

Quote:“I would not be surprised at all if more witnesses are called to testify before Congress before this new year is over.”

Despite optimism regarding progress behind the scenes, Elizondo has expressed some concern over the public tone of the UAP conversation, stating:

Quote:“My only caution would be to ensure the integrity of the effort is maintained and not derailed by attention seekers or sensationalists within the UFO community who rather falsely claim credit and sensationalize their involvement rather than truly facilitate and help Congress and our Government get to the bottom of the issue.

“This is currently our greatest challenge which only increases the stigma and taboo of the UAP topic.  Hopefully, the carnival side shows and hucksters will become increasingly irrelevant as we move forward towards true disclosure."
