| The mystery of the interest in UFOs and American atomic capabilities |
Speaking to the Washington Post on Tuesday, Luis Elizondo, former
director of the military’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program
(AATIP), revealed that UFOs – or whoever pilots them – are fascinated
with nuclear energy.
There is “some sort of
intersection between these UAP or UFO sightings and our nuclear technology with
nuclear propulsion, nuclear power generation, or nuclear weapons systems,”
Elizondo told the Post, adding that “those same observations have been
seen overseas in other countries.”
Furthermore, this craft has “interfered
and actually brought offline” the US’ nuclear capabilities on more
than one occasion, and did the opposite in other countries, “put them
online.”
Elizondo
spoke as Congress prepares to receive a report on UFO – or to use the
military’s favored term, UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) – activity. The
report, ordered under the Trump administration last year and compiled by the
Pentagon, will neither confirm nor deny that these crafts are
extraterrestrial, according to snippets revealed by the press last week. The
AATIP was disbanded in 2012, and Elizondo has previously claimed that higher-ups in the military attempted to
bully him into silence when he first began speaking about UFOs.
While
‘true believers’ have long held that the UFOs captured on film since the 1950s
are extraterrestrial visitors, military types have countered with another
theory: that they’re actually highly advanced technology developed by the US
adversaries.
Elizondo
isn’t so sure. Video footage he’s seen suggests technology “that could
be anywhere between 50 to 1,000 years ahead of us...they can outperform frankly
anything that we have in our inventory and we’re pretty certain anything that
our foreign adversaries have in their inventory.”
This video
footage – shot by military pilots – shows craft performing impossible feats of
physics, outrunning supersonic jets, and changing direction seemingly
instantly. The Pentagon has admitted that much of this footage is genuine, and
former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe stated earlier this year that the government has more
footage that hasn’t yet been made public.
The rapid changes in direction baffled
Elizondo. “Human beings can withstand about 9 g forces or some of our
best aircraft can withstand about 16 Gs,” he explained. “These
things are doing 3-, 4-, 600 Gs in midflight.” Furthermore, they can
fly at hypersonic speeds. While hypersonic technology exists – Russia has
rolled out several hypersonic missiles, for example, this craft can make turns
that not even the latest human-developed hyper sonics can.
Furthermore, the UFOs seemingly have the
ability to cloak themselves from human observers and to operate in any medium
– air, water, or the vacuum of space – without compromising performance.
That a former defense official would speak
so candidly about UFOs would seem unthinkable a decade or two ago, when UFO
‘truthers’ were considered cranks and loons, and the government kept
tight-lipped on the phenomena. But now, as if at once, officials from every
level of the US government have fallen over each other to entertain the idea of
extraterrestrial visitors.
In the runup to Congress’ report on the matter, former President Barack Obama, former CIA Director John Brennan, and a host of military spokespeople have all offered comments along the lines of “we don’t know what they are, but we’re keeping an open mind.” And though their comments represent a complete departure from the silence of yesteryear, they’re not the most outlandish claims uttered by high-ranking military officials around the world. Haim Eshed, the former head of the Israeli military’s space division, claimed late last year that the US signed a deal with a “Galactic Federation” of aliens, to keep their existence under wraps and avoid “mass hysteria.”
Whatever the reason for the sudden embrace
of UFO trutherism in Washington, the coming report likely won’t venture into
the sci-fi territory of Eshed. Much of it will likely be classified, but in
another interview with the Washington Post last week, Elizondo called for its release
to the public.
“Wherever these technologies come from,
they are clearly far more advanced than any earthly technology known to our
intelligence services,” he said. “We urgently need our best scientific and
intelligence collection tools applied to understand what our pilots are
witnessing.”
