UAPs, Non-Humans, and Extraterrestrial Life
« on: January 15, 2024, 02:56:55 AM »
If there is already a thread for this somewhere, feel free to send this over, but I couldn’t find one. I wanted to start this up because of some recent things happening in the US.

First off the James Webb Space telescope found potential signs of life on K2-18b. Interesting but no guarantee that we’re not alone.

“ Researchers are not outright suggesting that K2-18b is crawling with alien life. Further research is needed to confirm the presence of dimethyl sulfide, said astronomer Nikku Madhusudhan, professor of astrophysics and exoplanetary science at the University of Cambridge, in a statment. Madhusudhan is lead author of a new scientific paper describing the findings that has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.”

Secondly, a whistleblower, David Grusch, from the US intelligence agency tasked with researching unidentified arial phenomenon, came out and sounded the alarm about dark programs operating without oversight. It started with a news article this summer, then a few interviews, then David Grusch sitting in front of the House Oversight committee during a live congressional hearing with two other people who stepped forward to encourage our representatives to look into this. He claims the US has been operating a crash retrieval and reverse engineering program for ships of “non-human” origin and says funds are being funneled to these dark projects without any oversight.

I’ve thought this stuff was interesting in the past, but this is the most credible witness I’ve ever heard come forward. A few days ago, the House Oversight committee had a classified hearing with the Inspector General of the Intelligence Services, and it sounds like Grusch’s claims have merit.

Here’s his first interview.

Here’s the Congressional Hearing

I’m enjoying suspending my disbelief with this stuff because it’s giving me some hope that there are actually some advanced intelligent life forms in the universe.

That’s what I was implying but I suppose I wasn’t being fair to all the brilliant minds out there. I’m just being a hater because of the havoc we’re bringing upon the Earth. If this technology really is being hidden from us, we should be making it accessible for some of those brilliant minds to get their hands on.

I don’t really care if we’re flying around in spaceships, but maybe fire one of those things up and spin some coils around it so we can move away from fossil fuels a little quicker.

Here's What I Learned as the U.S. Government's UFO Hunter

(snip)
Finally, the key purveyors of this narrative have known one another for decades. In the early 2000s several members of this small group also participated in a study, erroneously characterized (by the same participants) as having been sponsored by the White House, on the possible societal impact of disclosing the existence of extraterrestrials to the public, with the authenticity of the abovementioned concealed government program taken as its baseline assumption. The think tank in question was a “futures” enterprise that often worked on fringe studies, and many of the individuals involved with the study also worked for Bigelow Aerospace in support of the AATIP program.

AARO thoroughly investigated these claims as part of its congressionally mandated mission to not only technically evaluate contemporary UAP observations but also review historical accounts going back to the 1940s. One of my last acts before retiring was to sign AARO’s Historical Record Report Volume 1, which is currently being prepared for delivery to Congress and the public. The report demonstrates that many of the circulating allegations described above derive from inadvertent or unauthorized disclosures of legitimate U.S. programs or related R&D that have nothing to do with extraterrestrial issues or technology. Some are misrepresentations, and some derive from pure, unsupported beliefs. In many respects, the narrative is a textbook example of circular reporting, with each person relaying what they heard, but the information often ultimately being sourced to the same small group of individuals.

The operational mission Congress has assigned AARO is important. Accumulating observations by highly trained U.S. military and other credible personnel of unidentified anomalous phenomena at or near sensitive national security areas and activities calls for a serious effort to understand what’s going on. Simply put, “unidentified” is unacceptable, particularly in these times of heightened geopolitical tension. Part of the problem we face today, however, is that the modern media cycle drives stories faster than sound research, science and peer review time lines can validate them. More worrisome is the willingness of some to make judgments and take actions on these stories without having seen or even requested supporting evidence, an omission that is all the more problematic when the claims are so extraordinary. Some members of Congress prefer to opine about aliens to the press rather than get an evidence-based briefing on the matter. Members have a responsibility to exhibit critical thinking skills instead of seeking the spotlight. As of the time of my departure, none, let me repeat, none of the conspiracy-minded “whistleblowers” in the public eye had elected to come to AARO to provide their “evidence” and statement for the record despite numerous invitations. Anyone that would rather be sensationalist in the public eye than bring their evidence to the one organization established in law with all of the legal process and security framework established to protect them, their privacy, and the information and to investigate and report out findings is suspect.

I can assure you as its former director that AARO is unwaveringly committed to harnessing science and technology to bring unprecedented clarity to these fascinating, important, and stubborn mysteries and to do so with maximum transparency. Its talented staff and team of supporting scientists are at this very moment striving in collaboration with the armed forces, intelligence community, government agencies, national laboratories, scientific community, academic community—and soon the general public—to collect and analyze hard, measurable data—i.e., extraordinary evidence—in this heretofore eyewitness-rich but data-poor field. The AARO team will go wherever the data takes it, without fail, and will not be swayed by any attempts to influence its findings otherwise. Science cannot be left on the side of the road in the mad dash to uncover some great conspiracy.

Carl Sagan would expect no less, and neither should the American people.

It's nice to see more credible people coming out and speaking seriously about what's moving around in our skies and our oceans.

Here's a link to Colonel Karl Nell discussing evidence of non-human intelligence on earth

https://www.congress.gov/amendment/118th-congress/senate-amendment/2610/text

Here's the text of an amendment to the National Defence Authorization Act of 2025. Sponsored by Mike Rounds (R) and Chuck Schumer (D). It lays out the legal framework for the disclosure process and release of all previously classified information.

SEC. __01. SHORT TITLE.

       This division may be cited as the ``Unidentified Anomalous
     Phenomena Disclosure Act of 2024'' or the ``UAP Disclosure
     Act of 2024''.

Section 10 stands out with non-human intelligence being defined as "any sentient intelligent non-human lifeform regardless of nature or ultimate origin that may be presumed responsible for unidentified anomalous phenomena or of which the Federal Government has become aware."

SEC. __10. DISCLOSURE OF RECOVERED TECHNOLOGIES OF UNKNOWN
                   ORIGIN AND BIOLOGICAL EVIDENCE OF NON-HUMAN
                   INTELLIGENCE.

       (a) Exercise of Eminent Domain.--The Federal Government
     shall exercise eminent domain over any and all recovered
     technologies of unknown origin and biological evidence of
     non-human intelligence that may be controlled by private
     persons or entities in the interests of the public good.
       (b) Availability to Review Board.--Any and all such
     material, should it exist, shall be made available to the
     Review Board for personal examination and subsequent
     disclosure determination at a location suitable to the
     controlling authority of said material and in a timely manner
     conducive to the objectives of the Review Board in accordance
     with the requirements of this division.
       (c) Actions of Review Board.--In carrying out subsection
     (b), the Review Board shall consider and render decisions--
       (1) whether the material examined constitutes technologies
     of unknown origin or biological evidence of non-human
     intelligence beyond a reasonable doubt;
       (2) whether recovered technologies of unknown origin,
     biological evidence of non-human intelligence, or a
     particular subset of material qualifies for postponement of
     disclosure under this division; and
       (3) what changes, if any, to the current disposition of
     said material should the Federal Government make to
     facilitate full disclosure.
       (d) Review Board Access to Testimony and Witnesses.--The
     Review Board shall have access to all testimony from
     unidentified anomalous phenomena witnesses, close observers
     and legacy program personnel and whistleblowers within the
     Federal Government's possession as of and after the date of
     the enactment of this Act in furtherance of Review Board
     disclosure determination responsibilities in section __07(h)
     and subsection (c) of this section.
       (e) Solicitation of Additional Witnesses.--The Review Board
     shall solicit additional unidentified anomalous phenomena
     witness and whistleblower testimony and afford protections
     under section 1673(b) of the James M. Inhofe National Defense
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (50 U.S.C. 3373b(b))
     if deemed beneficial in fulfilling Review Board
     responsibilities under this division.

It seems like some sections of the US government are acknowledging we've been hiding something and keeping it secret under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as well as an over-broad interpretation of ``transclassified foreign nuclear information'', which is also exempt from mandatory declassification.

Posting this here because as of now these drones have not been identified, so technically they qualify as UFOs. They are being described as unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Lots of similarities to the event over Langley AFB in US late last year. Not a lot of details yet to point towards what these are and who is operating them. I haven't heard any official descriptions of strange flight physics like some of the other UAP reports.

UK military join hunt for drones near US airbases

The news follows a number of recent reports of unmanned aerial vehicles spotted in the vicinity of RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall, both in Suffolk, and RAF Feltwell in neighbouring Norfolk.

Further drone activity had been reported overnight. The USAF said the vehicles were small in number and size.

A US Air Forces in Europe spokesman said: "We can confirm there were sightings yesterday during night-time hours and can only confirm that the number fluctuated and varied between the bases over the night."

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg7gxg3npxlo.amp

Report: Mystery drones fly over Langley for 17 days, now DOD is looking to protect aircraft

"Some shone small lights, making them look like a constellation moving in the night sky — or a science-fiction movie,” said now-retired U.S. Air Force Gen. Mark Kelly. “‘Close Encounters at Langley.’ They also were nearly impossible to track, vanishing each night despite a wealth of resources deployed to catch them.”

Ryugu asteroid sample rapidly colonized by terrestrial life despite strict contamination control

(...)
Researchers from Imperial College London have discovered that a space-returned sample from asteroid Ryugu was rapidly colonized by terrestrial microorganisms, even under stringent contamination control measures.

In the study, "Rapid colonization of a space-returned Ryugu sample by terrestrial microorganisms," published in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, researchers analyzed sample A0180, a tiny (1 × 0.8 mm) particle collected by the JAXA Hayabusa 2 mission from asteroid 162173 Ryugu.

Transported to Earth in a hermetically sealed chamber, the sample was opened in nitrogen in a class 10,000 clean room to prevent contamination. Individual particles were picked with sterilized tools and stored under nitrogen in airtight containers. Before analysis, the sample underwent Nano-X-ray computed tomography and was embedded in an epoxy resin block for scanning electron microscopy.

Rods and filaments of organic matter, interpreted as filamentous microorganisms, were observed on the sample's surface. Variations in size and morphology of these structures resembled known terrestrial microbes. Observations showed that the abundance of these filaments changed over time, suggesting the growth and decline of a prokaryote population with a generation time of 5.2 days.

Population statistics indicate that the microorganisms originated from terrestrial contamination during the sample preparation stage rather than being indigenous to the asteroid.

Results of the study determined that terrestrial biota had rapidly colonized the extraterrestrial material, even under strict contamination control. Researchers recommend enhanced contamination control procedures for future sample-return missions to prevent microbial colonization and ensure the integrity of extraterrestrial samples.

The Cosmos Teems with Complex Organic Molecules

Wherever astronomers look, they see life’s raw materials.

(...)
“Rosetta really changed the view,” said Nora Hänni (opens a new tab), a chemist at the University of Bern who has been analyzing data from the probe. When Hänni and her colleagues processed just one day’s worth of the probe’s data in 2022, they uncovered (opens a new tab) 44 different organic molecules. Some were very complex, containing 20 atoms or more. Rosetta caught whiffs of glycine (opens a new tab), one of the amino acid building blocks of proteins. And more recently, Hänni used Rosetta data to identify dimethyl sulfide (opens a new tab) — a gas that, on Earth, is only known to be produced by living organisms.

What Rosetta did for comets, Japan’s Hayabusa2 and NASA’s Osiris-Rex are doing for asteroids. In 2020 and 2023, respectively, the two missions scooped up samples of the asteroids Bennu and Ryugu and returned the samples to Earth. Scientists have been sifting through the material ever since, and they find that both asteroids sport plenty of organic molecules. Ryugu alone contains at least 20,000 kinds (opens a new tab), including 15 different amino acids.

“It’s just everything possible from which life could emerge", an organic geoscientist at the Technical University of Munich.

More unidentified objects flying around our skies. This time over New Jersey.

FBI investigating large drones spotted in New Jersey

"Larger than the typical drones used by hobbyists, the devices have raised questions due to their proximity to both a military installation and President-elect Donald Trump's Bedminster golf course, officials said.

The Federal Aviation Administration has imposed drone flight restrictions while authorities investigate.

Local police have said there is no known threat to public safety."

https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/fbi-investigating-large-drones-spotted-new-jersey/story?id=116415248

No answers yet about the drones flying over the UK. According to this article the British Special Forces are helping investigate. That makes me think it's not secret US tech. If they're not ours and not hobbyist, we either have a very ballsy foreign power buzzing out bases or it's aliens. I'm hoping aliens. Maybe just an elaborate hoax, but must be a good one to have the US and UK military scratching their heads.

British Special Forces join drone hunt at RAF Lakenheath

"There is credible evidence to suggest that British Special Forces were deployed to an air base used by the U.S. Air Force in the United Kingdom on Saturday.

Royal Air Force Lakenheath is technically a British Royal Air Force base but is utilized by the U.S. Air Force. The base has experienced more than a week of unauthorized drone incursions. More limited incursions have been reported at two other U.S.-utilized bases: RAF Mildenhall and RAF Feltwell. The U.K. military subsequently deployed counter-drone specialists to Lakenheath alongside launching search operations by other assets including Apache gunships.

Facing continued drone incursions, however, the Washington Examiner can report that the British Army’s 22 Special Air Service unit and the Royal Navy’s Special Boat Service unit now appear to have been deployed. On Saturday, a Chinook helicopter assigned to the RAF’s No. 7 Squadron special forces unit flew from its home base, RAF Odiham, and landed at the Special Boat Service base in Poole on the English south coast. After a short period, it then flew north to the SAS Stirling Lines base in Credenhill. After a brief landing, it then flew to RAF Lakenheath. The helicopter then spent a slightly longer period on the ground before returning to RAF Odiham."

I think it’s important for people to stay vigilant and aware, and consider all reasonable options of explanation.

But some of these reports are just ridiculous. Medieval dance events minus the hallucinogenic ergot in the wheat supply.

https://nitter.poast.org/PettitFrontier/status/1868006770444038432#m


This whole episode just feels like one big recreation of Orson Welles’ 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast.

Step 1: Someone plays with drones near the airport in NJ

Step 2: Chronically detached normies with no comprehension of basic modern consumer tech witness bewildered

Step 3: Reports spread like wildfire, missightings with planes occur, drone prankster copycats move in

Step 4: The Pentagon, rolling its eyes but under obligation to take it seriously, promised to investigate

Step 5: Media picks up on it, and suddenly everyone is taking it seriously because an authority figure commented

Step 6: Mass hysteria unfolds and everyone forgets how it even started

While some of these reports are definitely people getting hysterical about things in the sky, that theory does not explain any of the actual drone incursions we're having that's led to the hysteria in the first place. He said it started with a few airplanes in Jersey but is ignoring all the military bases that have had issues with these incursions. I think the air force is familiar with planes.

"New Jersey drone hysterics" doesn't fit when these are being reported in different areas of the county and in other parts of the world.

Lots of people reporting planes, but that doesn't explain any of these events below. The US sent up a high altitude research plane to track the drones over Langley and the UK deployed 60 military personnel to assist with the incursions over our bases in England. Both of which happening before "the hysterics".

So far there is no explanation for any of these. The American government is downplaying this issue and lying to the public. Whatever these were/are will likely get brushed under the rug and lumped in with all the false reports. The commanders of these bases are not hysterical people who've never looked up and seen a plane.
