Would love to go through the provided footage and see which has been debunked since this airing if any. I think this was probably aired mid-late 90s. Some amazing footage and pictures. Brazilian Government pictures etc.

Original Title: Found this really intriguing UFO video a guy from Florida filmed on his boat in 2021. Says him, his brother and wife all saw it travel from one point of the coastline to the other in seconds. They all seem pretty shaken up about it from the sound of their voices.

Original Title: What’s your opinion on Dolan and are his books solid in your opinion? I’m missing UFOs Vol 1, but this series seems pretty damn impressive but more like a resource and definitely not a narrative. Is A.D. anything like Elizondo’s Imminent?

Original Title: Elizondo confirmed in 2019 to been recruited to AATIP. Before he left Pentagon and went to NY Times, Pentagon wrote: "cannot be overstated the importance of Mr. Elizondo’s portfolio to national security." -- journalist Keith Kloor


Source:

"UFOs Won’t Go Away"

Issues in Science and Technology is the journal of the United States National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, charted by the United States Congress in 1863 as the scientific national academy of the United States of America.

Quoting from "UFOs Won’t Go Away" by Keith Kloor, writing in Issues in Science and Technology, Vol. XXXV, No. 3, Spring 2019.

Quote 1:

When Luis Elizondo was at the Pentagon in the late 2000s, he was asked to take over security for the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). He had experience in technology protection, having previously worked with Boeing and its Apache Longbow helicopter, and also with Raytheon and some of its cruise missile technology. A new aerospace-related assignment made sense.

Quote 2:

In his annual performance evaluation for his job at the US Department of Defense (DOD), Luis Elizondo, a career military intelligence officer now in his late 40s, was lauded in 2016 for his ability to manage a highly classified program “in a manner that protects US national security interests on a global scale.” The office Elizondo oversaw had, among other things, “identified and neutralized 6 insider threats” and “co-authored 4 national-level policies involving covert action.” His work performance was rated as “exemplary.” The evaluator gushed that it “cannot be overstated the importance of Mr. Elizondo’s portfolio to national security.”

Quote 3:

On October 4, 2017, Elizondo submitted a resignation letter—that he later made public—addressed to then Defense Secretary James Mattis, which warned that “bureaucratic challenges and inflexible mindsets” had prevented “anomalous aerospace threats” from being taken seriously within DOD leadership. There was “overwhelming evidence” of these threats, Elizondo wrote, “at both the classified and unclassified levels.” He referred vaguely to “many instances” of “unusual aerial systems interfering with military weapon platforms and displaying beyond-next-generation capabilities.” The letter urged Mattis “to ask the hard questions” about who else might know about these “phenomena” and their “capabilities.”

Who are the United States National Academies, the journal Issues in Science and Technology, and Keith Kloor?

United States National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine

From Wikipedia:

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), also known as the National Academies, is a congressionally chartered organization that serves as the collective scientific national academy of the United States. The name is used interchangeably in two senses: as an umbrella term or parent organization for its three sub-divisions that operate as quasi-independent honorific learned society member organizations known as the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), and the National Academy of Medicine (NAM); and (2) as the brand for studies and reports issued by the unified operating arm of the three academies originally known as the National Research Council (NRC). The National Academies also serve as public policy advisors, research institutes, think tanks, and public administration consultants on issues of public importance or on request by the government.

Issues in Science and Technology

From Wikipedia:

Issues in Science and Technology is a policy journal published by the United States National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and Arizona State University. The journal is a forum for discussion of public policy related to science, technology, engineering, and medicine. This includes policy for science (how to nurture the health of the research enterprise) and science for policy (how to use knowledge more effectively to achieve social goals), with emphasis on the latter.

Credit to Popular Mechanics and this serious journalist, who has apparently never touched this topic, for doing a good job.

‘LAST FEBRUARY, AT THE DIRECTION OF CONGRESS, the Archives launched the giant database, which will eventually collect records from across all federal agencies of sightings related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), the government’s term for UFOs.’

‘“The American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, non-human intelligence and unexplainable phenomena,” Schumer said. “We are not only working to declassify what the government has previously learned about these phenomena but to create a pipeline for future research to be made public.”’

There is much more in the article. Good on them.

From Shawn Ryan show :

Cliff Sims is an American political figure, author, and former Deputy Director of National Intelligence known for his work in the Trump administration. Born in 1987 in Alabama, he earned a degree in political science from the University of Alabama and founded a communications firm before joining the White House. In 2017, Sims was appointed as Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Strategy and Communications, where he managed public messaging for the intelligence community.

Very brief comment but interesting none the less - starts around the 25 minute mark

Did the United States military finance a popular UFO-reporting app via proxies?

Did the former head of a Pentagon UFO office in any way financially profit from these investments?

The Pentagon/US government in reporting may be tied to financing Enigma Labs, which self-reported (but later removed) connections to AARO, and former AARO "boss" Sean Kirkpatrick is listed as a member of the financing company claimed to be a seed investor for Enigma Labs.

What claimed evidence is there of this?

Researcher Jack Brewer published this article:

Which states:

Andresen identified Kirsten Bartok Touw as previously listed as a source of pre-seed funding for Enigma Labs, Inc*., a recently launched company outwardly dedicated to UAP investigation and transparency, yet seemingly much less forthcoming than their self-description suggests.* As documented by Andresen, the role of Bartok Touw has since been removed from websites.

Bartok Touw is a “Special Government Employee” at the Office of Strategic Capital (under the Office of the Secretary of Defense), as well as a managing partner at New Vista Capital and AirFinance, among other roles of potential significance. If designated a “Special Government Employee,” or SGE, one may simultaneously represent the interests of big tech companies, banks, venture capital funds, military contractors, intelligence agencies, defense tech start-ups and, pretty much, anybody with skin in the game.

Who are the allegedly involved parties?

Who is AARO?

The goverrnment office in the Pentagon charged by the United States Congress and President under law to investigate military reports of UFOs:

Who is the Office of Strategic Capital (under the Office of the Secretary of Defense)? These people:

"...the Secretary of Defense established the Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) in December 2022 to attract and scale investment to national security priorities. OSC aims to use the United States’ comparative advantages in capital markets and economic competition to crowd in capital for the critical technology supply chains needed by the Department of Defense."

Who is New Vista Capital? These people:

They appear to be major aerospace investors.

New Vista Capital on their website as of October 3, 2024, lists Sean M. Kirkpatrick under their "Venture Partners and Advisors" page:

That would be this Sean M. Kirkpatrick, who was a long-time DOD/military/IC related scientist and 'spy' sort, who ran AARO and briefed Congress:

Who now also works apparently for Oak Ridge National Laboratory as "Chief Technology Officer for Defense and Intelligence Programs" as seen here:

Who is Enigma Labs?

A popular app/website where the public can report UFO sightings. The ownership/staffing of Enigma is highly secretive.

What is the inference/alleged implication here?

We thus allegedly have military-provided seed funding for Enigma Labs, which announced (and then tried to obscure?) ties to AARO, ran at the time by Sean M. Kirkpatrick:

  • The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) of the Pentagon was created by Congressional mandate.

  • Sean M. Kirkpatrick was in charge of AARO when Enigma Labs briefly reported ties to AARO.

  • Enigma Labs is now reported to have allegedly received some level of government-affilited financing via New Vista Capital.

  • Jack Brewer reports Jensine Andresen, PhD, found ties connecting Kirsten Bartok Touw of New Vista Capital to Enigma Labs financing.

  • Bartok Touw is reportedly tied to the Pentagon office of Office of Strategic Capital for financing national security technologies.

  • AARO "Boss" Sean M. Kirkpatrick is listed as a team member by New Vista Capital on their site.

Questions raised:

  1. Did the United States military via a proxy finance Enigma Labs?
  2. Is Enigma Labs today in any way connected to or affiliated with the Pentagon?
  3. Was Enigma Labs in any way previously connected to or affiliated with the Pentagon?
  4. Did Sean M. Kirkpatrick personally profit in any financial way from this beyond his government employment?

Original Title: For the first time ever, the exact Roswell UFO crash site has been revealed on the "Unresolved Mysteries" series on Netflix. An "egg shaped craft about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle" was found crashed 27 miles from where the metallic debris was found. "Alien bodies" were also recovered.

Dunno this media company, but it was picked up by ground news in the UFO tagline. Looks like Burien has a visitor? What you all think?

I sometimes don't watch the Reality Check episodes because whilst somewhat interesting there is never anything particularly new (I love Rossco though don't get me wrong).

This episode though covers a multi year research project by citizen scientists who come across unbelievably knowledgable and have captured an incredible amount of data on UAPs.

THEY ALSO HAVE VIDEO OF A TIC TAC at 17:00.

The more I watched, the more credible these guys seemed. Highly recommend.

Personally, I want this all out in the open.

I've been a believer since I was very little, and I'm now 46. I want full disclosure so that I can finally talk to more people about the topic.

My parents just don't understand and I think disclosure from the right people will probably push them to me, and they'll have many, many questions. They are very religious and it will crush them at first.

Why are you here? What drives your passion?
