New Legislation Claims UFO Threat Increasing - And Only Some Have Known Human Origin
Like any normal person, I’m spending my Saturday morning watching a UFO podcast — specifically, the Need to Know podcast with Ross Coulthart and Bryce Zabel. Both men are accomplished professionals in their fields; Ross is an award-winning investigative journalist for the biggest news network in Australia who has appeared on programs like that country’s version of 60 minutes, and Bryce is a former Hollywood producer-turned-journalist who has taken an interest in UFO disclosure. Both men have authored books on the UFO phenomenon; Coulthart’s is called In Plain Sight: An Investigation into UFOs and Impossible Science. Zabel has two: Project Disclosure: Revealing Government Secrets and Breaking the Truth Embargo (Conspiracies and Cover-ups), and After Disclosure: When the Government Finally Reveals the Truth About Alien Contact.
Although it’s not what this post is about, the two collaborated last month to produce a brief documentary on the topic that’s a good briefing on the current state of the UFO topic:
What this post IS about is that podcast I’m listening to right now. Coulthart caught something I wanted to share, because I agree with him: “it’s very, very important.”
The podcast is below. The relevant section begins at 22:29. If you don’t have time to watch it, I’ll block quote the pertinent bit after the video player:
Coulthart says:
In an addendum to the US Intelligence Authorization Act for the fiscal year 2023...Congress has made two quite astonishing claims in that legislation.
The first is: 'cross-domain trans-medium threats to United States' national security are expanding exponentially.' That's a big claim! And the second is that Congress is now distinguishing between UFOs/UAPs that are human in origin, and those that are not.
'Temporary non-attributed objects, or those that are positively identified as man-made after analysis will be passed to appropriate offices and should not be considered under the definition as unidentified aerospace/undersea phenomena' the document says.
Now that's really quite important. I know it sounds as dry as dust, but it's very, very important.
I agree. This is the kind of language that makes you sit up and take notice — and wonder what is being shown in those classified briefings.
Dr. Jacque Vallee, the French astrophysicist and computer expert was the first to accurately map Mars and contributed to the development of the internet. He broke ranks with many/most other scientists years ago in openly researching the UAP phenomenon. Spielberg paid tribute to him with his character Lacombe in "Close Encounters". He long ago concluded that this phenomenon is not a simple case of extraterrestrial visitation. It has been with us throughout recorded history and taken many forms. Yet, an underlying unity between these forms is evident. Absurdity and strangeness are among these. Vallee believes the phenomenon has impacted culture, religion and other human realities throughout the centuries.
I have a couple of problems on the UFO stuff.
First, classic physics doesn't allow for some of the reported phenomena. Meaning standard Newtonian stuff, nothing fancy. Yeah, maybe we got it all wrong, but that seems unlikely given that stuff hasn't changed in a couple hundred years. Maybe it's the OTHER sightings that are real and the ones violating physical laws are the accidents.
Second, "why"? You've traveled a few billion parsecs in your FTL thingie, and now you're gonna play duck duck goose in the clouds with a bunch of cave-folk? Why would you do that? You've got AI, right? Send a probe to insert itself into orbit and report back infinitely detailed, all spectrum information you can watch in the comfort of your living room at home until WWE (or the local equivalent), comes on.
I mean, Earth tech for using aircraft to watch the ground still exists (the U-2 is still flying), but that's arguably only because satellites are in fixed orbital positions. UFOs posit civilizations with huge tech advantages, and yup, it's duck duck goose in the clouds and running away if the cave-folk get too close. It just makes no sense.
