Pentagon Shares Three Videos Of “UFOs” To “Clear Up Misconceptions”

by

The Department of Defense recently three videos of “UFOs” acquired by the US Navy over the last 20 years. All three videos have been in the public domain since at least 2015. They were previously available through what the DoD has called “unauthorized releases.” Furthermore, the Department said that this was part of an effort to be more transparent.

“The Department of Defense has authorized the release of three unclassified Navy videos, one taken in November 2004 and the other two in January 2015, which have been circulating in the public domain after unauthorized releases in 2007 and 2017. The U.S. Navy previously acknowledged that these videos circulating in the public domain were indeed Navy videos. 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. DOD is releasing the videos in order 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. The aerial phenomena observed in the videos remain characterized as “unidentified,” the agency said.

The images were released on a dedicated website set up by the US government. It is the latest move in a push for more transparency about the subject. In July, Congress held a series of hearings on the issue. The hearings gained notoriety after a “former intelligence officer” claimed, under oath, that the US government was in “possession of UFOs and non-human biologics.” However, his testimony was slightly tainted by the admission that he himself had never seen any of the objects in question.

The Pentagon later denied that there was any sort of cover-up involving evidence of UFOs. “[Investigators haven’t discovered] any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently,” the agency declared in a statement.

Lizzo Is Baffled By The Congressional Hearing About UFOs, Simply Asking ‘WTF’

Lizzo is among music’s foremost newsmakers, but she’s repeatedly proved that she’s a diligent observer of the news cycle as well. Between contributing to the Barbie soundtrack and headlining her ongoing Special Tour, Lizzo somehow had time to comment on congressional developments.

On Wednesday, July 26, former Air Force Intelligence Officer David Grusch testified to Congress before a House Oversight subcommittee. Per the Associated Press, Retired Maj. Grusch asserted that “the US is concealing a longstanding program that retrieves and reserve engineers unidentified flying objects [UFOs]” and “likely has been aware of ‘non-human’ activity since the 1930s.” The Pentagon has denied his claims.

According to NBC News, Grusch also claimed “he has interviewed individuals who have recovered ‘non-human biologics’ from crashed UAPs” — opting to use “non-human” in favor of “alien.”

After the news broke, Lizzo tweeted (or Xeeted?), “Aye.. I know there’s a lot of pop culture news and memes going on rn but… THE GOVERNMENT JUST STATED *UNDER OATH* THAT THEY ARE IN POSSESSION OF UFOs AND NON-HUMAN ALIEN BODIES YALL WTF.”

It’s far from the first (or, surely, last) time Lizzo has used her social media account to process news in real time. In March, she tweeted about transphobia in relation to racism. A separate March tweet drew attention to anti-LGBTQIA legislation and Jim Crow laws.

As for Wednesday’s news, Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge was delighted to hear someone else believes “aliens f*cking exist.”

Watch the full hearing below.

Blink-182 and Lizzo are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Steven Spielberg Says He Thinks The Government Is Hiding UFO Info

by

Steven Spielberg says that he believes the U.S. government is hiding information about UFOs. The legendary director addressed the topic during an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, earlier this week. Spielberg has released multiple films that deal with the concept of aliens, including 1977’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind and 1982’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

“I think the secrecy that is shrouding all of these sightings and the lack of transparency until the Freedom of Information Act compels certain materials to be released publicly, I think that there is something going on that simply needs extraordinary due diligence,” Spielberg argued, before adding, “I think what has been coming out recently is fascinating — just absolutely fascinating. I would like to hear more about it, I don’t know what they are.” The director added that he doesn’t believe Earth to be the only planet with life on it. “I don’t believe we are alone in the universe,” he said. “I think it is mathematically impossible that we are the only intelligence species in the cosmos.”

While Spielberg added that he’s not confident aliens have visited Earth, he added: “There is something going on that is not being disclosed to us.” As for what would happen if aliens did visit, Spielberg said that he doesn’t feel they’d be violent. “I believe if any extraterrestrial civilization has journeyed all the way here, it’s because of curiosity and science and it’s not about aggression,” he said.

Regarding his popular films about aliens, Spielberg also confirmed that he won’t ever be making a sequel to E.T. “No, never,” he said about the idea. In addition to Close Encounters and E.T., Spielberg also directed the 2005 film War of the Worlds, which follows an alien invasion of Earth. His most recent film, The Fabelmans, is a coming-of-age story loosely based on Spielberg’s own adolescence. It’s up for Best Picture at the 95th Academy Awards.

Biden Administration Denies Aliens Were Behind Multiple UFOs Spotted In North America

by

Many North Americans were tuning into this past weekend’s Super Bowl. Elsewhere, others were feeling rising anxiety over the increasing number of UFOs appearing over the continent this month. It all began with the Chinese spy balloon, which was previously shot down under President Joe Biden’s orders. Since then, three more unidentified aerial items have been shot down across Canada and the U.S.

The most recent was first spotted on Saturday (February 11) over Michigan’s Great Lakes. Authorities were quick to remove it, announcing that airspace in the area was shut down on Sunday. The UFO was apparently a potential risk to human air travel, resulting in its removal.

As the news continues to spread, many have been speculating about the potential of alien involvement. In fact, even NORAD Commander and General, Glen Van Herck, has said that he’s “not ruling out the possibility of extraterrestrial activity.” However, on Monday (February 13), the White House made attempts to shut down this narrative in a press conference.

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made it clear that the Biden Administration does not believe otherworldly creatures are to blame for the sudden UFO surge. “There is no indication of aliens or extra-terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. Again, there is no indication of aliens or terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,” she explicitly stated.

The speaker acknowledged that the White House is aware of the circulating theories. Still, they remain sure that this isn’t an E.T.-related incident. However, as TMZ notes, Jean-Pierre – or National Security who spoke after her – were able to provide clear answers regarding the aerial objects.

During his time on the podium, NSK spokesman John Kirby explained that the U.S. still hasn’t been able to properly assess their latest finds. At this time, the process of collecting material from the discovery location and subsequently studying it is still unfolding. The details he could provide reveal that the latest UFOs “had no discernable communication systems, no propulsion systems and no real maneuvering capabilities.”

The mysterious creations also had no passengers when they went down. The government says they’re not balloon-type crafts, like the Chinese balloon was, though they can’t find an accurate way to describe them just yet. As lawmakers continue to demand answers, Biden has authorized an inter-agency team. This brings the State Department, Defense Department, and Office of National Intelligence together for further investigation on the matter.

Do you think the Biden Administration is being honest about the lack of alien involvement in the UFOs? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for any updates.

Chris Brown Says Aliens Already Live Among Us

by

Chris Brown says that not only have aliens been visiting us for a “long time,” but they already live among us. The Breezy singer reacted to the United States shooting down four unidentified devices on his Instagram Story, earlier this week. The downing of the ariel devices, one of which was the Chinese spy balloon, has prompted numerous viral UFO theories. In his post, Brown explained that he believes contact with aliens is nothing new.

“I know this is hella random but don’t fall for the fake ufo/UAP FALSE FLAGS,” Brown wrote. “EXTRATERRESTRIALS HAVE BEEN VISITING US FOR A LONG TIME. Some live amongst us. We ARE THE ONLY DESTRUCTIVE SPECIES DOOMING OUR EXISTENCE DONT LET THEM RUN WITH THIS NARRATIVE.. just say I’m crazy BUT ALSO MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGMENTS. THEY JUST STARTING ACKNOWLEDGING THE “POSSIBILITIES ” OF UFOs and UAPs NOW THEY SHOOTING EVERYTHING MOVING OUT THE SKY????? (HEY, this message is for uneducational purposes)”

Chris Brown’s Post

Jim Ludes, who leads the Pell Center for International Relations at Salve Regina University and is a former national defense analyst, tells the AP: “There will be an investigation and we will learn more, but until then this story has created a playground for people interested in speculating or stirring the pot for their own reasons.”

One of the only claims that the White House has refuted is that the UFOs are the result of aliens. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters: “I know there have been questions and concerns about this, but there is no — again no indication — of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. I wanted to make sure that the American people knew that, all of you knew that and it was important for us to say that from here because we’ve been hearing a lot about it.”

Following the Chinese spy balloon, the three next devices that were shot down were not identified. Despite not disclosing their origins or purpose, Pentagon officials say they posed no security threats. Other conspiracy theories suggest that President Joe Biden deployed the devices to distract Americans from other issues plaguing the country. Other similar theories suggest the UFOs are a diversion of attention by White House and Pentagon from the recent chemical spill in Ohio.
