It could be confirmation bias, because of how much time I spend looking at stories on the topic, but I feel as though the UAP issue is escalating. More sightings, more videos, more open admissions that these things are operating in our air space (or oceans) without our consent, and we can't do a damn thing about it.
This thing where they've been buzzing Langley AFB (see video below) and other sensitive military sites for weeks and nobody can do anything about it? This is NOT normal.
Lest you think this is just some random video from the internet, Fox News has a report entitled, Unknown drone fleet breached US military base airspace in Virginia for 17 straight days.
Excerpt:
Kelly described the first drone he saw as roughly 20 feet long and flying at more than 100 miles an hour, at an altitude of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 feet. As many as a dozen or more drones followed, flying across Chesapeake Bay, and then traveling toward Norfolk, Virginia, and through a space overlooking the base for the Navy’s SEAL Team Six and Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval port…

Two months before the drone fleet emerged in Virginia, five mysterious drones reportedly breached restricted airspace over a government nuclear weapons experiment site in Nevada.
Four of the drones were detected by the Energy Department’s Nevada National Security Site outside Las Vegas, while the fifth was spotted by employees, according to the Journal. The facility has reportedly since upgraded its detection system, but officials have not determined who was behind the breach.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting on this, too: Mystery Drones Swarmed a U.S. Military Base for 17 Days. The Pentagon Is Stumped. U.S. officials don’t know who is behind the drones that have flown unhindered over sensitive national-security sites—or how to stop them.
Excerpt:
Over 17 days, the drones arrived at dusk, flew off and circled back. Some shone small lights, making them look like a constellation moving in the night sky—or a science-fiction movie, Kelly said, “‘Close Encounters at Langley.’” They also were nearly impossible to track, vanishing each night despite a wealth of resources deployed to catch them.
Gen. Glen VanHerck, at the time commander of the U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command, said drones had for years been spotted flying around defense installations. But the nightly drone swarms over Langley, he said, were unlike any past incursion.
[…]
U.S. officials didn’t believe hobbyists were flying the drones, given the complexity of the operation. The drones flew in a pattern: one or two fixed-wing drones positioned more than 100 feet in the air and smaller quadcopters, the size of 20-pound commercial drones, often below and flying slower. Occasionally, they hovered.
They came from the north around 6 p.m. to traverse the base, which sits on a peninsula at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, and continued south, beyond the reach of radar. They repeated the pattern and then disappeared, typically by midnight.
Homeland Security Advisor Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall convened the White House brainstorming sessions. One official suggested using electronic signals to jam the drones’ navigation systems. Others cautioned that it might disrupt local 911 emergency systems and Wi-Fi networks.
One suggestion was to use directed energy, an emerging technology, to disable or destroy the drones. An FAA official said such a weapon carried too high a risk for commercial aircraft during the December holiday travel season.
Others suggested that the U.S. Coast Guard shoot nets into the air to capture the drones. An official pointed out that the Coast Guard might not have the authority to use such a weapon in this instance. Besides, the drones were too difficult to track closely.
The long and short of it is, they never figured out what it is. They did end up moving an entire fighter wing of F-22 Raptors out of caution. That is no small thing.
Remember that four of the five most powerful air forces in the world are American: the top ranking goes to the US Air Force, followed by the US Navy, followed by the Russian Air Force, followed by US Army Aviation and US Marine Corps.
And yet, we can’t secure military bases from these things?
At Liberation Times, Chris Sharp and Kyle Warfel get a bit more detail:
Hill opinion contributor Marik Von Rennenkampff holds some doubts on whether the objects represented foreign surveillance activities, telling Liberation Times:
‘The multiple, consistent reports of bright, flashing lights and formation flying suggest that some actor - be it a drone operator or otherwise - was putting on a show of impunity, at considerable risk, over a key military facility.
‘If this was a foreign intelligence gathering operation, the brazen nature of the incursions makes it some of the worst collection tradecraft imaginable.’
Von Rennenkampff also drew parallels with other so-called ‘drone’ incidents involving U.S. defense assets, highlighting that anti-drone defenses failed to shoot down objects.
He commented:
‘Notably, in at last one instance, counter-drone technology “failed to register the drone.”’
‘Given the striking similarities to other bizarre incidents - such as multiple objects with flashing red, green, and white lights that swarmed Navy ships more than one hundred miles off the Southern California coast over the course of several months in 2019, objects with flashing lights that hovered soundlessly over nuclear missile installations in the Great Plains in 2019-2020, and multiple flashing objects observed over the U.S. Air Force Goldwater Range in Arizona - I suspect that there may be a connection.
‘Somehow, despite the array of sophisticated sensors at many of these locations, not a single video or photograph of a conventional drone has emerged.’
In the old days, the government would effortlessly conceal events like these with disinformation campaigns like the Roswell cover story or Project Blue Book. Now, they can't hide it.
There’s a feeling one gets, while watching stories like this, that we are building to a crescendo. That perhaps “catastrophic disclosure” is coming in the form of a more concrete encounter with whatever this is.
I just got done watching a very engrossing podcast with Lue Elizondo, former Pentagon UFO investigator and author of Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs.
Maybe “podcast” is the wrong word. of American Alchemy doesn’t do traditional podcasts. He does mini documentaries with podcast elements mixed in. He not only interviews a guest, but tells a story.
And this one was fascinating. It’s a couple of hours long, but absolutely worth your time:
I just have to say, reading between the lines, the man is worried. He has said repeatedly we have no evidence that whatever this is is benevolent. He called his book, "Imminent," and he told Jesse Michels that "time is not a luxury that we can afford."
There's a huge stigma around this issue, and serious, intelligent people don't want to get caught looking like gullible rubes by saying they think there's a there there. It's time to stop caring about that and follow the evidence.
I'm willing to take a risk and admit later if it turns out I got hoaxed — provided someone can show me how this hoax was carried out over 80 years with so many highly-credentialed witnesses and so much experiencer testimony from across the globe.
I myself have had a sighting, and I still think about it a lot. Nothing I know of can credibly make sense out of what I saw. Even my usually-skeptical wife can’t explain it:
I think it's time we listen to Lue Elizondo, Chris Mellon, David Grusch, Jay Stratton, Hal Puthoff, Jim Lacatski, Ryan Graves, David Fravor, Garry Nolan, Tim Gallaudet, Robert Salas, David Schindele, and countless others.
Something is going on that we do not understand, and it appears to be intensifying.
