UFOs have returned in the news a lot lately, and it may be that the government wants it that way. Last week, The Wall Street Journal released the first of a two-part series, which probes the ways as the defense section was responsible for creating and nutrition of UFO mythology in America.
The article shows that the government over the years over the years deliberately sown uninformation on UFOs, to strive to believe in few green men. This news comes as a result of an internal survey of Sean Kirkpatrick, the head of the All-domain anomaly Resolution Office (Aaro), which was specifically set up in the Pentagon to investigate visuals of UFO. Kirkpatrick, who spoke to the magazine, says he found evidence that the government “made evidence of alien technology” to try to distract from real weapons programs implemented by the government in secret.
The newspaper frames its findings as a “amazing new twist in the story of the US Cultural Obsession of UFOs”, but, although the specific anecdotes of the story are certainly new and quite interesting, its broader findings are not, nor are they particularly wonderful. Instead, they parrot what many critics about the UFO -storytelling has long said: That the UFO -Mites grew out of a disinformed campaign created by shadowy defense officials to obscure more land secrets about the national security community of the United States.
Last year, We wrote a story With very much the same taking, having interviewed one leading UFO critic, Mark Pilkington, who published documentation in 2014 arguing that the government used disinformed specialists to lie to Americans and thus hide their hidden activities.
However, the magazine’s survey offers recent details about some bizarre incidents, which certainly tend to the most coveted researchers of UFO. In particular, one episode revealed by the Kirkpatrick survey involves a UFO view at a nuclear bunker that occurred in 1967, and it seems to show that the government’s disinformed efforts have not only targeted members of the public but also their own staff. Robert Salas, now an 84-year-old former air force, says his former work was to the bunker, which would launch a nuclear strike against the Soviet Union in the case of nuclear war. One night, Salas says that a “glittering reddish-orange oval” was seen hovering over the front gate of the facility by the guardian of the building. Not much later, Salas discovered that the missiles in the facility were mysteriously disabled.
What happened? Have aliens managed to prevent the nuclear capabilities of the base? The newspaper notes that less supernatural – if still pretty crazy – an explanation for the episode can exist:
Kirkpatrick’s team dug into the story and discovered ground explanation. The barriers of concrete and steel surrounding the US nuclear missiles were thick enough to give them a chance if hit first by a Soviet strike. But scientists at the time feared that the intense storm of electromagnetic waves generated by nuclear detonation could make the hardware needed to launch an unusable combat.
To test this vulnerability, the Air Force developed an exotic electromagnetic generator, which simulated this pulse of disruptive energy without the need to detonate a nuclear weapon. When activated, this device, placed on a portable platform 60 feet above the facility, would collect power until it shone, sometimes with a dazzling orange light. It would then ignite an explosion of energy that could resemble lightning.
Another plot anecdote divided into the report involves a bizarre habit, which was caused by newly induced members of highly secret government programs. These inductions would be given a picture of a UFO, Kirkpatrick found:
For decades, some new commanders of the air force’s most classified programs, as part of their inductive information, would give a piece of paper with a photo of what looks like a flying sauce. The craft has been described as an anti -graved maneuver vehicle. The officers said the program they joined, called Yankee Blue, was part of an effort to reverse the technology on the craft. They were never told to mention it again. Many never learned that it was false. Kirkpatrick found that the practice had begun decades before, and seemed to continue. The Defense Secretary’s office sent a self across the service in the spring of 2023 ordering the practice to stop immediately, but the damage was done.
Officials who spoke with the newspaper called this practice a “random ritual”, which has run out, but, like most things associated with the UFO phenomenon, it is easy to find a different interpretation of events. Was this really a “random ritual”? Or was it part of an internal disinform campaign designed to sow confusion and keep coverage for those secret programs, even in the programs themselves? Honestly, it’s just no way to tell.
Similarly, there is no way to tell if the story of the newspaper was not misled anyway. The simple truth is that when it comes to UFOs, it is impossible to trust anything that comes out of the mouth of a government or ex-government official. You better give up just trying to find the truth of the matter, which of course is exactly what the government wants.
