UFO Article (Blog): “Pentagon Answers on Navy UAP Investigations”

18 May 2020

(Blue Blurry Lines, U.S.A.)

UFO researcher and blogger Curt Collins presents an article by Swedish UFO researcher Roger Glassel. The article is titled “The Pentagon’s Investigation of Navy UAP Reports.”

Collins writes:

“Swedish researcher Roger Glassel has been pursuing the details of the Pentagon’s UFO investigation since the AATIP story broke in 2017. On Sept. 16, 2019, he queried Navy spokesman Joseph Gradisher, asking for their definition of UAP or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. Later, Susan Gough was formally designated the Pentagon’s spokesperson and point of contact for UAP inquiries.”

UFO Article (Blog): “UAP Task Force: The Pentagon Responds to Questions”

By Roger Glassel, 2 September 2020

(Blue Blurry Lines, U.S.A.)

Quote from the article:

“In a previous email sent to me back in May, 2020, the Pentagon stated that there was already a interagency team/task force under the cognizance of the OUSD(I) that was analyzing sighting reports, and as most of the reports were from Navy pilots, the Navy did much of the effort. In Pentagon's recent press release it is stated that the UAPTF, established on August 4, 2020, under the oversight of the OUSD(I) and lead by the Navy. This contributed to some confusion, and I contacted Susan Gough and Joseph Gradisher to comment on the contradiction.”

My comment:

“On 4 August 2020, Deputy Secretary of Defense David L. Norquist approved the establishment of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force (UAPTF),” according to a 14 August 2020 U.S. Department of Defense news release article.

UFO Podcast Show: “The Pentagon’s Latest UFO Admission”

Streamed live: 2 May 2020

(“Richard Dolan Livestream,” Rochester, New York)

Source: Richard Dolan (YouTube channel)

Video text:

“The Pentagon recently officially released the three UFO videos that everyone has been arguing about for more than two years, finally laying to rest any final skeptical doubts about their authenticity. Now we need to be asking: what does it all mean?”

Transcript excerpt from the podcast show:

“You know, what an era we live in – when the United States military releases official UFO videos – and no one seems to care!

After more than two years of having three military videos of UFOs out there in the public for everyone to see – the Pentagon finally acknowledged them as legitimate and release their own copies to the world.

You know – in any other era this would constitute a bombshell – and you have to wonder why it isn’t. Like, what is the deal? Is it the [COVID-19] lockdown, you might wonder? But I think that doesn’t cut it – when you consider that we have been seeing pretty strong confirmations of UFOs for a while now.

Here’s some of the recent headlines that just came out relating to the Pentagon’s declassification, and you know it wasn’t that long ago, in 2017 – that we had this headline in The New York Times of 16 December 2017, in which the Pentagon acknowledged that, you know – shockingly supporting the reality of something in our skies that no one knew how to explain. Something encountered by the United States Navy – which seemed easily able to outclass our top fighter interceptors. This wasn’t ancient history, either. But that was post 9/11 America, the 2004 Tic Tac UFO incident, when there weren’t supposed to be any UFOs. So we had been told for year after year.

The stories that came out – and eventually three videos – were all released via the efforts of the organization known as To The Stars Academy [of Arts & Science]. That’s TTSA. You remember these guys – and they were able to get the videos cleared – or at least partially cleared. Very quietly, I think. 

The more we learned about how this whole process went about – they got them cleared very quietly, so as not to ring any alarm bells during the process of 2017. In other words – had they been completely upfront that these were very interesting UFO videos – it seems unlikely that those videos would have ever been released. But clearly – some of the folks in TTSA had a couple of friends in the right places who are able to make it happen.”

UFO Article: “Pentagon UFO Study Examined UFO Activity at Nuclear Missile Sites Says Former U.S. Senator Harry Reid”

By Robert L. Hastings, 22 December 2017

(The UFO Chronicles, 24 December 2017)

Quote from the article:

“During an interview with KLAS-TV investigative reporter George Knapp, former U.S. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) acknowledged that among the UFO cases scrutinized by the newly-revealed Pentagon UFO project were those involving UFO incursions at U.S. Air Force ICBM sites.

In an email to me, Knapp said that the specific incidents studied were the so-called ‘Northern Tier’ cases, occurring at Strategic Air Command bases in October and November 1975.

Those events have long been a matter of public record via documents released to researchers using the Freedom of Information Act in 1977.              

The files, together with testimony from USAF veterans interviewed by myself and others, confirm a series of sightings by security personnel of anomalous aerial objects maneuvering near ICBM sites operated by Malmstrom AFB, Montana, as well as at nuclear Weapons Storage Areas (WSAs) at Loring AFB, Maine, and Wurtsmith AFB, Michigan.

One NORAD log entry pertaining to Malmstrom said that several UFOs were observed above Minuteman missile sites over a several-hour period on November 7th; one of them was described as an ‘orange white disc object.’ According to the logs, as many as nine UFOs were tracked on radar and pursued, unsuccessfully, by F-106 fighters. As a result of this incident, as well as those at Loring and Wurtsmith, the Pentagon placed its entire nuclear force on a heightened alert status known as a Security Option 3.”

UFO Article: “The Pentagon Explains WHY They Changed Past UFO Statements”

By John Greenewald, Jr., 9 January 2020

(The Black Vault, Castaic, California)

The article reports on how Pentagon has changed its statements about the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP).

To tell a nation’s citizens what goes on in the skies does not reveal sources and methods, as far as I am concerned.

So why are so many governments around the world so afraid of telling us what flies around in the airspace (and in space) above the Earth – and from time to time, land on the ground?

In my opinion – most governments (at least many military officials) know full well that unknown, seemingly manufactured objects fly around in our skies and enter our seas, oceans and lakes at will!

The citizenry in every nation have the right to be informed about the UFO situation at all times.

UFO News Article (Blog): “Elizondo’s call to action”

By Billy Cox, 24 April 2019

(De Void, Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Florida)

Quote from the article:

“Former intelligence agent Elizondo left a military career in 2017 because the information he was accumulating was being stovepiped by mid-level higher-ups who refused to send it up the chain of command. A generous and accessible public speaker, he capped an hour-long presentation by fielding queries from a surprisingly well-informed audience for another two hours. But the questions he raised – about the imperatives of strategic defense – make De Void wonder if we’re on the verge of a blunder as consequential as Project Blue Book.

Elizondo did his best to assure listeners that TTSA, which has gone quiet about its research over the past year, will make a big bang on ‘Unidentified’ with a load of new material. For instance, ‘You will see that we even had people from the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) on camera, analyzing,’ he volunteered. ‘… I’ve never seen anything like that in my career. For the record. On camera.’

This is a sea change from 1969, when the Air Force shut down Project Blue Book by proclaiming UFOs posed no threat to national security. Today, we have Navy footage of UFOs outperforming our frontline warplanes, confirmation of a secret Pentagon research program, and a grownup conversation that couldn’t have been imagined half a century ago. In fact, just yesterday, the Navy issued a statement to Politico indicating it is now ‘updating and formalizing’ the way it handles reports of ‘unauthorized’ incursions into ‘military-controlled ranges and designated air space.’ ”

Luis Elizondo, a military intelligence official, ran the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) on the fifth floor of the Pentagon’s C Ring from 2007 to 20012. After 2012, Elizondo oversaw UFO work for five more years before resigning in October 2017.

Elizondo is now the Director of Global Security & Special Programs for the To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science.

(Spokane Daily Chronicle, Washington)

The article reports on the UFO investigation work of the Air Defense Command (headquartered at Ent Air Force Base, Colorado Springs, Colorado):

Wikipedia article: “Aerospace Defense Command”:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerospace_Defense_Command

Quote from the Wikipedia article:

“Aerospace Defense Command was a major command of the United States Air Forces, responsible for continental air defence. It was activated in 1968 and disbanded in 1980. Its predecessor, Air Defense Command, was established in 1946, briefly inactivated in 1950, reactivated in 1951, and then redesignated Aerospace rather than Air in 1968. Its mission was to provide air defense of the Continental United States (CONUS). It directly controlled all active measures, and was tasked to coordinate all passive means of air defense.”
