US officials do not have the capabilities to defend America against a hypothetical alien invasion, internal Pentagon watchdogs have determined.
A newly declassified document found the Department of Defense (DoD) lacks comprehensive or coordinated effort to track and analyze UFOs – which have been rebranded Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) in recent years.
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) made the eerie conclusion that this blindspot in the DoD’s defensive capabilities ‘poses a threat to military forces and national security.’
The Defense Department’s effort to identify UFOs is “uncoordinated” and could have overlooked threats to the United States, according to an unclassified version of a report from the Pentagon’s internal watchdog released Thursday.
In the report, originally released last August but containing classified sections, the DOD’s inspector general reviewed the department’s policies and procedures for detecting, reporting and analyzing UFO reports that have flooded the department in recent years.
Early on Feb. 12, 2023, at least three different flights over Quebec reported(opens in a new tab) “seeing very strange lights in the sky, high above the flight paths” that were “moving in a rapid and irregular way.”
“It looks like it’s more than one and sort of circling,” a crew member aboard a cargo flight from Chicago to Luxembourg told air traffic controllers in Canada, according to audio obtained by CTVNews.ca(opens in a new tab). “It’s a bit weird.”
Governments don’t want us to believe there’s something out there
In 1950, Enrico Fermi, the man who built the first nuclear reactor, was having lunch with some other scientists when the discussion turned to aliens – and he first articulated what’s become known as “the Fermi paradox” by asking: “Where is everybody?”
In other words: the universe has been around for some time, and is a very big place. Human life has only existed for a fraction of that time, and only on one planet. Given the vastness of time and space, then, it seems more than likely that we’re not the only intelligent beings in the universe. So why haven’t we found any evidence of others? This question has led some to conclude that extra-terrestrial intelligent life doesn’t exist, and others to speculate — as in the long-running sci-fi show The X Files — that aliens do exist, but that their existence is covered up by mysterious government agencies.
New thermal video footage has been released, revealing an incursion of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) into a United States Joint Operations base.
The UAP was tracked by the U.S. and allied nations as part of an intelligence operation over Iraq in 2017.
In the turmoil of world news this week, it isn’t hard to find occasions to worry. Yet, two novel subjects have also become prominent, each raising alarm from the high-tech laboratories of Silicon Valley to the halls of Congress. They relate to the potential of AI to make humans obsolete, and to the global threat implied by the mystery of UFOs, even when reframed as the less-intimidating “UAP,” as Pentagon purists prefer.
The real problem is that the two issues are more closely related than anyone had foreseen, and their combined power to disrupt social, business, and perhaps even spiritual realities threatens to become uncontrollable, even if the two constituencies have little in common.
The continuing lack of transparency about UFOs in the US is causing concern not only about the existence of aliens but about the psychological fallout of uncovering a conspiracy
If you thought that we were about to finally get the truth about UFOs, think again. At the end of last year, a US government bill that would have mandated the controlled release of all classified documents and artefacts relating to UFOs was significantly watered down at the last minute so that it would get through Congress.
Interest in unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), the new term for UFOs, reignited in June 2023 when ex-US intelligence agency whistleblower David Grusch told the Debrief website that during his official duties he had discovered the US had indeed been retrieving spacecraft of non-human origin for decades. The claims led to a congressional hearing, in which Grusch and others described what they had gleaned of this super-secret project, or seen with their own eyes during military service. Their testimonies resulted in the new Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Disclosure Act, authored by a bipartisan group of five elected representatives, led by Democrat majority leader Chuck Schumer and Republican senator Mike Rounds.
Questions swirl around new ‘jellyfish’ UAP footage
I know my views on UFO’s are not wildly popular in these parts however I am sticking to them.
All questions are valid at this point.
Did the USA make a technological leap they’re inching closer to revealing?
Is it all disinformation? A combination of truth and lies to keep us off balance?
There are reasonably valid grounds to withhold information from the public such as national security. However the potential for a huge economic windfall awaiting anyone who can reverse engineer the “found technology” may be the real motivation hence all the chatter about unaccountable private contractors being used to shield the truth from the public.
I wish I had the proof to convince myself 100%.
Still I believe we live in interesting times and so I do not discount the existence of UFO’s.
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said the classified briefing around unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), more commonly known as UFOs, may have only moved the needle a little bit, but it “energized” the House on the issue.
“I’d say on a scale of one to ten, I’d give it a four. I’d say the needle moved … it was bipartisan,” Burchett told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo in an interview Friday, when asked about how the hearing went.
He noted that “the whole gang” was in the room, pointing out Reps. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.).
Lawmakers say they are one step closer to the truth about humanity’s place in the universe today after a top secret briefing on UFOs in Congress.
America’s top spy watchdog met with members of the House Oversight committee on Capitol Hill today — a meeting previewed by DailyMail.com’sanonymous intelligence community insider.
The meeting aimed to get to the bottom of last year’s explosive charges alleging the existence of an illegal UFO crash retrieval program.

A UFO whistleblower shared new details of a Tardis-like craft in government possession during a secret meeting in New York City.
Decorated former Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch claims his sources worked on a 40-foot UAP that ‘was the size of a football field’ when they stepped inside, according to an attendee at the event.
The object could manipulate both space and time and use and could harness enough energy to power 70,000 homes a year, the source said.
NTK – Need to know
Bryce and Ross begin 2024 with a quick look back at the big events of last year: David Grusch’s revelations and the gutting of the Schumer Amendment to the Defense bill. Then they look ahead to this year and an upcoming House Oversight Committee hearing, Lue Elizondo’s book and Grusch’s op-ed piece on the heels of the US government slightly loosening what he’s able to reveal. And Ross drops a big hint about what could be a very big story: new data from the James Webb Space Telescope.
It’s one of the greatest puzzles of the universe, and one that has vexed humanity ever since we first gazed at the stars and thought of other worlds. Is our Earth the sole place that harbours life, or might it be found elsewhere, among the trillions of planets, star systems and galaxies? As Arthur C. Clarke put it: ‘Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.’
The subject was suddenly everywhere after a high-altitude Chinese balloon and three unidentified objects(opens in a new tab) were shot down over North America in February. NASA and the Pentagon then released separate reports in September(opens in a new tab) and October(opens in a new tab) on what they call “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or “UAP” for short.
Congress has been promised fresh details this Tuesday on last year’s shocking allegations of an illegal UFO crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program.
The charges, made by former high-ranking US intelligence official David Grusch, accuse both the US military and its defense contractors of stonewalling on evidence of crashed UFOs, recovered ‘beings,’ and even UFO-related deaths.
While Americans wait in anticipation for possible new details, a source with direct knowledge of standard operations inside the US Intelligence Community’s Inspector General’s office (IC IG) told DailyMail.com that the meeting will be ‘only for show.’
Videos from the National UFO Reporting Center in 2023
Last year marked a profound shift in the conversation around unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), the new preferred term for what everyone knows as UFOs.
The reflexive giggles that long followed any mention of “UFO” now subside quickly when the uninformed learn about bipartisan legislation and serious elected officeholders alleging that surreptitious government “legacy programs” possess “biological evidence of non-human intelligence” and are attempting to reverse engineer exotic “technologies of unknown origin.”
It’s balloons.
