You’ve Been Lied To
.
In the new administration’s first press conference on January 28, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the ‘drone mystery’ had been solved. The mystery drones seen in New Jersey and other parts of the USA were all research drones operated by the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration.
That is simply nonsense! Some of the ‘drones’ were the size of SUVs, at least one was the size of a schoolbus, and they hovered for hours completely silently, or darted around in seemingly random ways. They moved in prohibited airspace over sensitive government facilities, even caused closure of airports. FAA research drones? I don’t think so.
In addition to being seen in the USA, they were seen in England, Europe, and Australia, and most probably other countries as well. The FAA, even if they had gigantic silent drones, does not operate outside the USA.
I was pleased that Chris Cuomo on NewsNation called out this ridiculous pack of lies. He’s followed the ‘drone’ story from the beginning, and knows just how idiotic this ‘explanation’ is.
Whatever people were seeing, and shooting video of, they weren’t drones. They were UFOs. Quite simply, they were unidentified, they were flying, and we must assume they were objects, not hallucinations. Hallucinations don’t show up on video.
I had hopes that the Trump administration would treat the American public as adults, not children. We’ve been lied to about UFOs since at least the coverup of the Roswell event in 1947. We’ve been told we were seeing weather balloons, stars, planets, the moon, swamp gas, swarms of fireflies, etc., etc., and now FAA research drones.
Professional pilots have been insulted by being told that they did not see what they knew they did see. Astronomers have been similarly insulted.
I can only hope that President Trump is unaware that he’s being lied to and hasn’t signed on to this conspiracy of mistruth. The American people deserve to be treated as adults, they deserve the truth.
Back in 1997, when I was heavily involved in UFO research and writing, I had a long telephone conversation with the Air Force Colonel who wrote the Pentagon’s book, ‘Roswell: Case Closed.’ He told me that this book was simply propaganda, that he’d seen films of the autopsies of alien bodies. When I mentioned this conversation on an online UFO forum, he denied ever speaking to me.
But he forgot that he’d mentioned our conversation to Phil Klass. Phil was the most vocal UFO skeptic, and published a skeptical UFO newsletter. In spite of our disagreements on the subject, Phil and I were friends. And he was an honest man. He called out the lie that the conversation I mentioned never happened. Nothing more was heard from the Air Force on the subject.
I personally interviewed most of the living Roswell witnesses in the mid-1990s, and came away convinced that they were almost all telling the truth about what they saw in the summer of 1947. Some of the people I interviewed have never gone public with their stories. They were not publicity seekers.
People have been seeing things of nonhuman origin for thousands of years, what government whistleblowers call things of NHI, Non Human Intelligence. In an exclusive, NewsNation recently broadcast video of the recovery of an NHI egg-shaped craft by the US government. These things are real, we know very little about them, and they move through our skies with impunity.
Mr. Trump, the time has come to stop the lies.
