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.”
Over the last week, a flurry of coverage focused on the historic unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) transparency measures that President Biden will sign into law shortly.
But the reporting ignored or glossed over a stunning development, The most powerful member of the U.S. Senate, Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), suggested publicly that elements of the U.S. government are illegally withholding UAP information from Congress. Schumer, citing “multiple credible sources,” made his extraordinary comments on the Senate floor last week.

President Joe Biden’s December visit to Tinseltown for a campaign fundraiser caused such a hullaballoo even aliens may have wanted to see what all the fuss was about!
Planespotters caught a UFO on camera hovering above Air Force 1 in Los Angeles during Biden’s December 10 trip, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The spherical white or silver object was filmed several times over LAX airport and spotted by multiple witnesses.
National Archives directed to collect reports but measure gives government departments broad authority to keep them secret
If the truth about UFOs is out there, the American government doesn’t want you to see it yet.
Just months after US space agency Nasa appointed a research director of unidentified anomalous phenomena, and promised more transparency about what it knows, the US Congress has acted to throttle the flow of information that ultimately reaches the public.
Measures to create a presidential commission to review UFO records, and to order the Department of Defense to declassify certain “records relating to publicly known sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP)”, were stripped from the sweeping defense policy bill that passed Congress on Thursday with bipartisan support.
Reviewing the 2024 NDAA. The final UAP Disclosure Act lacks initially proposed features like an independent Review Board and eminent domain authority. Only a UAP records collection and review process remains. A disappointment for the UAP community. 🛸#UAPDisclosure#NDAA2024pic.twitter.com/bQyAa37nmY

It doesn’t matter the topic, there always seems to be a group of lawmakers who will stop at nothing to thwart government transparency – even when it’s a subject that could not be more bipartisan or in an obvious need for sunlight.
This time, a small cadre of powerful Republicans have reportedly killed a provision in this year’s defense authorization that would finally bring some transparency to the US government’s knowledge around UFOs (now also known by the updated parlance of “unidentified aerial phenomena”, or UAPs).
Grusch on Tucker
Remember what George Knapp said: UFO whistleblower David Grusch was going to be a LOT more vocal. New interview just dropped… with Tucker.
Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) has 10.9 million followers. 👀
Since 2020, no fewer than 10 former government officials, military officers and scientists, along with a former senate majority leader, have alleged (or suggested) publicly that the U.S. government has recovered advanced craft of unknown origin — that is, UFOs.
Nearly all of these individuals also claim that the government transferred multiple craft to defense contractors for scientific and technical analysis.
Key members of Congress, drawing on testimony from dozens of whistleblowers, appear to find these extraordinary allegations credible.
A Republican congressman and a UFO expert agree that the government knows more than they’re letting on about mysterious aircraft.
Author and journalist Garrett Graff and Tennessee Republican Rep. Tim Burchett jointly spoke out on the issue in a Meet the Press Reports on NBC News.
Graff, author of UFO: The Inside Story of the U.S. Government’s Search for Alien Life Here – and Out There said, ‘The government is covering up some level of its knowledge and understanding about what some of those things are.’
In July, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), along with a bipartisan group of five other senators, announced sweeping legislation to declassify and release government information about unidentified flying objects.
The announcement coincided with, and seemed to corroborate, an extraordinary series of UFO-related developments. But now, Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) appear poised to quash this bipartisan transparency initiative.
In the absence of reasonable, good-faith objections to the core provisions of the historic legislation, the question is why.
For more than 80 years, the US government has hidden the existence of UFOs. The question is why. The answer is ominous.
