CONSPIRACY THEORY: Will they tell us that those UFOs are really the Rooskies?

[yankeedoodle]

Remember a few years ago when, for some reason, they started releasing videos that they said were of UFOs, but which didn't seem to show anything?

Would you be surprised that Congress - because they don't have anything else to do - is going to hold hearings into UFOs?  And, would you be surprised if, maybe, they conclude that those UFOs were the Rooskies? 

What a way to start World War III.

The Telegraph

The Pentagon has released three declassified videos showing US Navy pilots encountering what appear to be unidentified flying objects (UFOs) "to clear up any misconceptions".

The videos had previously been leaked.

The Pentagon said it released the footage to "to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real or whether or not there is more to the videos.

A statement on the Department of Defense website said: "After a thorough review, the department has determined that the authorized release of these unclassified videos does not reveal any sensitive capabilities or systems, and does not impinge on any subsequent investigations of military air space incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena."

Few things capture the public imagination quite like UFOs and sci-fi suggestions that aliens might be visiting our humble little planet. The US House Intelligence Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation Subcommittee will look to shed some light on UFOs -- more formally known as unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP -- with an open hearing on Tuesday, May 17.

Indiana Rep. Andre Carson will chair the hearing. "Congress hasn't held a public hearing on unidentified aerial phenomena (UFOs) in over 50 years," Carson tweeted on Tuesday. "That will change next week when I lead a hearing in House Intelligence on this topic and the national security risk it poses. Americans need to know more about these unexplained occurrences."

The hearing will stream live starting at 7 a.m. PT on May 17. After the public portion airs, the subcommittee will hold a closed, classified briefing.

Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Ronald Moultrie and Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray are scheduled to speak at the hearing. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California tweeted on Tuesday that "the American people deserve full transparency," saying the hearing "will give the public a chance to hear from experts on one of the greatest mysteries of our time."

There has been a new push to share government information on UFOs. Last year, the Pentagon issued a report highlighting how UAPs may threaten flight safety. The report didn't provide explanations or point a finger at alien visitors, but did acknowledge the possibility that a few UAP sightings may be due to technical glitches while others were most likely unexplained physical objects. 

In 2020, the Pentagon formally released three US Navy videos that had been feeding into UFO theories for years. The videos show pilots tracking UAPs in the sky.

UFOs are real in the sense that they are flying objects with unknown explanations, but UFOs don't automatically equal aliens. Viewers should temper any expectations for an extraterrestrial bombshell during the hearing. As the Pentagon report taught us, there are a lot of questions and not very many answers.
