Article: With the chain-of-custody documentation, FLIR1 shows credible evidence of a flying vehicle that demonstrates characteristics unlike anything we know, understand, or can duplicate. The video along with eye-witness accounts by US navy professionals have allowed us to conclude the following characteristics about the UAP:
• Hovering without a propulsion exhaust plume.
• Extreme maneuverability and startling changes in acceleration.
• Attaining hypersonic velocities, typically referring to speeds over Mach 5 (five times faster than the speed of sound), without an indication of a sonic boom.
I would also like to add that I think you have correctly identified the object in the “go fast” video as a balloon.AATIP has been described as a “small”earmarked pet project of Senator Harry Reid with heavy involvement from government contractor Robert Bigelo. I would like to know how involved the intelligence agency (ie Elizondo) was in identifying the strange objects in the UAP reports AATIP received. Or was it more of a documenting program, like a library reminiscent of project blue book?
More specifically, I would like to know if AATIP ruled out Palladium project type explanations when reviewing the 3 navy videos (either from foreign or domestic intelligence agencies).
Project Palladium was a 1960s CIA project designed to fool Soviet radars based in Cuba. This operation involved a clandestine submarine, balloon bourne radar reflectors, and jamming tactics that had Cuban jet fighters chasing around “ghost” radar images. The CIA did this to gage the radar capabilities of the Soviets in order create the stealth requirements of future aircraft.
I know you have focused on the videos, but the pilot’s descriptions of interacting with the “objects” involved with the videos bare a striking resemblance to project Palladium, albeit a more advanced version.
Further to this, was there much involvement with other people in UFO circles like Eric Davis, Leslie Keen, Hal Puthoff etc.
- I think I heard at one point that he used to work on those weird remote viewing projects. I'd like to know a little more about his history before AATIP
- Why would it possibly be a good idea to hide the existence of something like advanced technologies from the American people that could dramatically improve their lives? This security clearance excuse is getting a little old.
- "If UFOs weren't 'real' and you had no proof of them, what would a government operation to cover up military projects or to convince adversarial nations to waste money on researching myths look like? Would we perhaps be worried about losing our carrier dominance in the seas if our economy is in a downward trend while China's is not and they are actively building more shipyards?"
do the short quick answer questions first, then save analysis disagreements till the end and he'll maybe be motivated to talk longer as he will want to point out all your "errors"Thanks everyone, I've been deluged with questions, and I've only got an hour to ask them in (I'll try to for more time if he's available) so I'm unlikely to get to everything.
