Quote from the article:
“It’s been nearly two years since the existence of a
hitherto unknown UFO investigation effort, known as the Advanced Aerospace
Threat Identification Program (AATIP), was revealed to the world. The program
was housed within America ’s
Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) and Office of the Secretary of Defence (OSD),
and apparently ran from 2007 to 2012. Some of the cases studied by AATIP have
involved the United States Navy’s (USN) massive aircraft carriers and the
formidable combat aircraft attached to them. Further, it appears that the Navy
has been caught flat footed regarding the reporting of UFO’s and unidentifiable
aircraft, and changes to operational doctrine are apparently underway.
On the 23rd of April, 2019, media outlet Politico
carried an article titled ‘US Navy Drafting New Guidelines For Reporting UFOs’.
Written by reporter Bryan Bender, the piece builds on an official statement
made by the Navy’s vital Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information
Warfare (OPNAV N2/N6). Various issues are discussed including the apparently
sudden need for modernized ‘unidentified aircraft’ reporting guidelines for
‘pilots and other personnel’, and the fact that Congressional briefings by Navy
‘intelligence officials’ on unidentifiable air hazards have taken place. The
Politico article, and the formal OPNAV N2/N6 statement which it cites, was
analysed by Australian researcher and colleague Keith Basterfield, here.
Of note, to me at least, was a curious admission
within the OPNAV N2/N6 statement, and it concerned none other than the United
States Air Force (USAF). Ostensibly, the ‘Navy and the USAF take these reports
very seriously’ and ‘investigate each and every report’. If they are talking
about mundane unidentified aircraft engagements, then this statement isn’t
especially interesting. If, however, they are talking about encounters with odd
craft, or unusual phenomena, then it’s quite another. Considering that this
entire story links itself to recent events regarding UFO’s, and even quotes
Christopher Mellon, a former DoD official and UFO proponent, one is bound to
assume we are dealing with the latter. And if this assumption is correct, the
notion that the ‘Navy and the USAF’ take such reports ‘very seriously’ and
‘investigate each and every’ one of them flies in the face of what we have been
told about ‘our’ sort of UFOs for decades.”
