Viewpoint: Regarding UFOs, the Pentagon is lying. 2024

Regarding UFOs, the Pentagon is lying.

In July of last year, Congress held a landmark hearing on UFOs. The session attracted a significant amount of attention and interest not seen on Capitol Hill in years, and testimony was given by two former Navy fighter pilots and a former top intelligence official.

In one particularly interesting conversation, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) talked about how Eglin Air Force Base in Florida sent his office with a “protected disclosure” about a UFO sighting that occurred over the Gulf of Mexico in January 2023. He gave a stern, on-base reminder. to the military about “how authorities flow in the United States of America” after being stonewalled by the Air Force. The Air Force gave in and allowed Gaetz to examine sensor data collected during the interaction.

Fighter pilots saw four unidentified objects flying in a “clear diamond formation,” according to Gaetz. Interestingly, the incident happened on a training range that is usually blatantly clear of any flying debris.

Gaetz, who has been a member of the House Armed Services Committee for almost ten years, was “not able to attach to any human capability, either from the United States or from any of our adversaries,” according to still imagery that showed off one of the objects’ capabilities.

Gaetz stated that the four objects moved in a “very clear formation equidistant” separation based on radar data.

Gaetz stated that the four objects moved in a “very clear formation equidistant” separation based on radar data.

Gaetz observed that the fighter jet’s radar stopped functioning as it approached one of the objects, as additional documentation verified. Because of a malfunctioning infrared camera, the pilot had to manually capture still photographs of one of the unidentified objects.
The Pentagon’s UFO analysis agency determined with “moderate” confidence that the object the pilot saw was a balloon, most likely “a large commercial lighting balloon,” in a case resolution report that was released last week.

This purported justification belittles the intellect of any reader who takes the time to carefully consider the incident’s specifics. The most well-known UFO skeptic in the world was not persuaded by it. The item depicted in the pilot’s sketch, which he called analogous to an “Apollo spacecraft,” doesn’t look anything like any known industrial lighting balloon.

I took a call to the Florida-based company that makes the upscale commercial lighting balloons that the UFO office had mentioned. The company claims that the idea of such industrial-grade tethered balloons floating away on their own is unprecedented. The lighting balloons in question have been utilized by Emmy-winning lighting designer Matt Ford, who explained in a little video how ridiculous the Pentagon’s justification is.

Remarkably, the Pentagon tried to convince the American people that this utterly impossible occurrence had happened four times in one instant. In the meantime, there is still no explanation for the fighter jet’s dual sensor faults, one of which only happened near the UFO.

The Pentagon UFO office’s lack of discussion on how several balloons spaced vertically by thousand-foot intervals could conceivably retain a “very clear,” “equidistant” diamond formation at high altitudes amid severe winds above is perhaps the most striking.
Even worse, the pilot said that the leading object was either traveling “very slowly” or was “stationary.” The pilot’s findings are inconsistent with the Pentagon’s balloon explanation, given the nearly 80 miles per hour winds that were measured at altitude on the day of the incident.

The Pentagon’s evaluation is “incomplete and does not reflect all of the data I was shown,” as Gaetz correctly noted. Gaetz also demanded that the radar data and photos related to the contact be made available to the public.
In summary, the Eglin incident is a microcosm of the numerous ridiculous and improbable justifications the government has provided for several UFO occurrences over the years.

A congressionally mandated assessment of UFO involvement by the U.S. government was just made public by the Pentagon. The study leaves much to be desired, since it is full of basic factual errors, omissions, and a long list of historical distortions. In a harsh 16,000-word critique of the study, former top civilian intelligence official for the Department of Defense Christopher Mellon lambasted the UFO office.

One of the report’s numerous errors is a flagrant fabrication regarding an extensive scientific investigation of the thousands of UFO reports the Air Force had received, which was commissioned in the early 1950s. This Battelle Memorial Institute assessment, according to the Pentagon’s UFO Office, concluded that “all cases that had enough data were resolved and explainable.” There is clear evidence to refute the claim. In actuality, the study classified as “unknown” a full thirty-three percent of UFO instances deemed “excellent”—that is, situations having multiple or skilled observers and enough data to draw a conclusion. Furthermore, Battelle used an exceptionally high bar to declare a sighting as “unknown,” requiring the assessing scientists to agree as a group.

Similar in nature to the Pentagon’s heinous fabrication of this analysis is their purported justification for the Eglin Air Force Base incident. To put it briefly, the “nothing-to-see-here” attitude towards UFOs has persisted for decades.

Importantly, official Pentagon positions are at odds with papers from the Department of Defense’s internal archives. As an illustration, a Joint Chiefs of Staff directive from the previous year stated that unusual events are happening all over the world, including “in or near the territory…of the United States, of its allies, and of its adversaries.”

The American public needs truth, openness, and far more analytical honesty than the Pentagon is currently displaying in light of unknown objects with extremely unorthodox technology boldly breaching airspace around nuclear missile silos and other important military locations.
