On Saturday, a news story broke which should appeal to the conspiracy theorist in each one of us. The US Government has been secretly investigating unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and unexplained aerial phenomenon (UAPs).
This is according to The New York Times, and POLITICO's reports that reveal details of a 5-year-long project somewhat ambiguously named the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. This program, backed and funded by Democrat Senator and ex-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, received around $22 million between 2008 and 2011 – a small fraction of the Defense Department's annual budget (approximately $600 billion).
Most of the $22 million went to Bigelow Aerospace, which is a space technology startup based in Las Vegas, owned by hotel mogul Bob Bigelow. This company renovated buildings in Sin City to store materials which had been "recovered" from UFOs. At the same time, researchers were examining civilians and military personnel who claimed they've seen and interacted with inexplicable aerial phenomena for signs of physiological alterations.
The program amassed video and audio recordings of potential UFOs too, including one of a Navy aircraft that was surrounded by a glowing light. In that clip, one can hear a pilot saying, “there’s a whole fleet of them”.
In spite of efforts made to keep the work and the funding a secret, Reid appears to be proud of the program. As he told The New York Times, “I think it’s one of the good things I did in my congressional service. I’ve done something that no one has done before”.
According to the official story, efforts proved fruitless, so the program was shut down in 2012. As Thomas Crosson, a Pentagon spokesperson added: “It was determined that there were other, higher priority issues that merited funding, and it was in the best interest of the DoD to make a change”.
“After a while the consensus was we really couldn’t find anything of substance. They produced reams of paperwork. After all of that there was really nothing there that we could find. There was really nothing there that we could justify using taxpayer money”, another member of staff told POLITICO.
However, according to several other sources – including Luis Elizondo, who led the program before he resigned earlier this year – the project is still ongoing. As Elizondo told The New York Times, the program doesn't receive funding from the Pentagon anymore, but staff continues to investigate UFO reports along with their other departmental duties.
Former NASA space shuttle engineer, James E. Oberg said:
“There are plenty of prosaic events and human perceptual traits that can account for these stories. Lots of people are active in the air and don’t want others to know about it."
Nevertheless, he added that “there could well be a pearl there.”

It hurts when my five year old daughter ask if Daddy will be coming whenever we are celebrating on a round table. Meanwhile I was used to celebrating every holiday season alone for two years after my husband abandoned us for another woman.
ReplyDeleteBut I promised during last Thanksgiving that I will give her an unforgettable gift this Christmas Holiday. I didn’t know it will be possible and at the same time I didn’t want to disappoint my Daughter. It was an impossible request presented to Dr. Wakina’s table through dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com with a time frame, I don’t want to be a lying Mommy.
Believe me when I say it was an unforgettable moment between my Husband and our Daughter when he came knocking on Christmas Eve. Something I never thought will be possible became a reality. Love Spell is real and Dr. Wakina is genuine.
After being in relationship with him for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster Dr Oriafo that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the Dr Oriafo and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days my ex will come back begging. I thanked him in earnest hoping he will come back to me because I miss him so much.To my very surprise on the 3rd day he came back begging and asking me to accept him back and he will never leave me again. All this would never had been possible but for Dr Oriafo I will always and forever recommend you to the world Dr Oriafo This is his contact below: herbalsolutionhome@gmail.com or call +13103599685
