Somewhat amusing that they chose to illustrate Stratton’s narrative with videos of balloons. It’s a shame he could not have got the good stuff released, but that seems to be how it goes.
🚨 WOW: A former Pentagon intelligence official says airline pilots are reporting UAPs every single day, and that nobody is tracking them.
Jay Stratton told Jesse Watters that "five different airline pilots per day are reporting UAP activities." He says there's "ongoing activity over U.S. nuclear missile sites and sensitive military sites."
He also says the government used a submarine to try to lure one in, and that "the UAP showed up and we were able to collect some data."
Whatever these things are, they're flying over our nukes and in our airspace. That's a national security problem. Release the files.

UFO research was supposed to be about finding out what’s true. @MickWest argues performance has taken over.
@BTRadford previews “The UFO Circus,” the cover story in the November/December @SkeptInquirer.

My review of "Out of the Shadows" by Jay Stratton. jasoncolavito.com/blog/revie… – at Delmar, NY
In his just-release UFO book, Jay Stratton say two things that seem to be in conflict.
"I have seen security camera footage of a bright orb that comes down from the sky on a landing trajectory toward the ground. The ball of light fades away as it hits the ground, as if the energy source was turned off, and a cloaked but noticeable bipedal creature walks off from the object.”
But also:
“Whenever we tried to take photographs or video it always came out blank: video files with no image, photos that were nothing but solid black, or recordings that mysteriously corrupted the moment we attempted to review them.”
There's lots of talk about footage that he's seen, but can't show you, where the cameras work just fine. And then, where he would be able to show you the footage (like from in his house), the cameras never work.
How are all these military intelligence people like Stratton and Elizondo having months' worth of orbs, ghosts, and aliens in their houses, moving stuff, flying through their family and pets, and hovering over their beds, and yet they never manage to get anything at all on video?
Why don't other countries reveal what they know about UFOs?
Rep. Eric Burlison is warning that continued secrecy over UFOs could come at a political cost for the United States. Speaking with the New York Post, @EricBurlison argued that another country could gain a propaganda advantage by releasing information Washington has withheld. If the Trump administration fails to deliver on its transparency promises, Burlison believes America’s credibility with its own citizens could suffer.
Brazil is part of that conversation. Former defense minister and presidential candidate Aldo Rebelo told the Post that Brazil would release its own files if the U.S. disclosed records concerning the alleged 1996 UFO crash in Varginha. That remains a claim from a former official, but it puts a specific question before Washington: what records does the U.S. hold about Varginha, and will the public ever see them? #ufox #ufotwitter
How did these swarms "turn out" to be Chinese drones?
We know that Chinese nationals (Fengyun Shi, Yinpiao Zhou) have been arrested for flying small quadcopters over or near US bases (but not "swarms").
We also know that when Wright-Patterson AFB released video of swarming "drones," they all turned out to be normal planes.
Chinese drones, not "UFOs", confirmed swarming over US soil.
Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) who sits on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) told a reporter that the UFOs that swarmed Langley Air Force base in Dec. 2023 "ended up being Chinese drones".

The US military was mostly helpless and clueless as multiple (Chinese) drones flew around the Virginia air base as exclusively first reported by @thewarzonewire:

And it's not the first time this has happened. It's a big, scary problem that continues to be shockingly underreported in the media.

UFO activists with ties to the intelligence community keep trying to brand these objects as otherworldly "phenomena" and many clickbait media outlets run with aliens instead of reality.
thehill.com/policy/defense/5…
In many ways, these "crazy" UFO activists have successfully distracted most everyone from a looming real world threat. As exclusively reported by me:
nypost.com/2023/03/21/ufo-be…
And I've been screaming about Chinese drones for at least 5 years now, and have incurred the wrath of UFO believers for doing so.
But I continue to be proven correct over and over again.
And, once again, I am sharing @Aviation_Intel's prophetic 2021 article "Adversary Drones Are Spying On The U.S. And The Pentagon Acts Like They’re UFOs"

This needs an explanation. What parts of the story were wrong? What was right? Just deleting with no comment seems odd.
I'm not a doomer, but I'm also not incredibly optimistic about the future of AI safety.
Yes, there are significant challenges to AI replacing human civilization and sustaining itself without us. But that's not the main concern.
The concern is that AI, or humans using AI, could cause or contribute to a major disaster - like infrastructure disruption, military escalation, or war - that kills millions of people, possibly leading to the collapse of human civilization.
Whether AI might struggle to survive such an event isn't the point. The point is that it might kill us.
Not all UAPs are birds. But some are.
These ones were obviously birds, as everyone with experience in analyzing UAP videos said weeks ago. This paper is fine, but perhaps overkill.
1st published paper from UAP Science Advisory Council members Jacob Haqq-Misra, Ravi Kopparapu, Richard Cloete, Omer Eldadi, Michael Shermer, and Abraham Loeb:
"Six objects reported at 480 mph in a declassified military infrared video show brightness flicker at bird wingbeat rates"
UAP infrared video of six dots recorded from a military aircraft over the Qaruh Island near Kuwait, DOW-UAP-PR135, describes a group of six small objects moving at an estimated speed of 480 miles per hour.
We determined that the UAPs are birds. Incorrect speed estimate is a result of the parallax effect.

This is also the definition of mythology. Greek myths, for example, are an entire stratum of fairly consistent, highly specific, overlapping stories told across centuries, and yet that does not make Zeus real nor fossil elephant skulls into proof of Cyclopes. – at Delmar, NY
What David Grusch said on @joerogan represents an entire strata of fairly consistent, highly specific overlapping stories told by many people over many years. If you are just hearing it now for the first time and are skeptical, you should know that there are generals, scientists, commandos, politicians', versions as well. It just goes on and on.
You can't make it go away by saying "That particular guy has a mental problem." There are dozens of such sober sounding people with a breathtakingly enormous overlap. It would be the world's largest flash theater troupe of master actors. Or an emergent mass delusion.
I find it all but impossible to explain. At some point you do have to ask: "What if I just take it literally?"
That's not a huge improvement mind you (e.g. All aliens have tetrapod body plans??? Really????). But it's a kind of weird you have likely never experienced if you stare it in the face. No matter how you slice it.
As I have been saying: something HUGE is up.
And keep your eyes on New Mexico: Nukes-Trafficking-UAP-Physics-Espionage-"Drones". All the stories converge there.
Eric presents the classic fallacy of framing a situation as a “trilemma” of “fake, crazy, or true”.
By giving two alternatives, misleadingly simplified to extremes and amplified by his own incredulity , he steers you towards the third.
But there are mundane explanations. Common human and institutional failures of
misidentifications, misunderstandings, cultism, miscommunications, and a combination of delusions, hoaxes, and exploitive disinformation (leveraging all of the above) covers what evidence and testimony we have seen regarding UFOs. No decades-long conspiracy to suppress alien anti-gravity is required.
Grusch, and the others, can simply be wrong.
