    UFO sleuths make extraordinary discoveries; Congress should take note

    Congress is set to hold the first public hearing on UFOs in more than 50 years. Government transparency — long overdue — is at the top of the agenda.

    The million-dollar question is whether the U.S. government will admit that UFOs demonstrate extraordinary technology. And why shouldn’t it?

    Thus, the question before Congress is simple: If so many former officials can state that UFOs demonstrate extraordinary capabilities while, at the same time, members of the public can independently verify these statements, why has the government not admitted as much?

    This is a House hearing. Perhaps, there will next be a Senate hearing in which the Senate Intel Committee will subpoena the AF chief. Since the AF is in control of Nellis Test & Training Range likely accompanies being more directly related to what happened in Area S4 and similar. I suppose that they've had been involved in too many advanced research programs on the (we know what they are level) and for now prefer to avoid the limelight, to avoid having to answer Qs that would lead them to reveal too much, at least in this initial stage.

    Also, recent interesting comments by Lue Elizonda @ Time: 1.05.40 (202) The Unexplained With Howard Hughes | 15-May-22 - Part 1 - YouTube. Its mainly Lue's background that we probably have heard thousand times.

    However, Part 2 goes into more pertinent details in particular when we have exhausted all the possibilities we are left with an unknown intelligence. Part 2 and part 3 are mainly listeners questions which some of them are really good ones.

    The hearing may be at a juncture where the Senate has to accept that we are dealing with a non human intelligence be it extraterrestrial/interdimensional dynamics.

    The movement characteristics, so often mentioned, (besides the ancient history of the phenomenon), is perhaps logically going to force more official statements that finally admit that some UAP most likely are not built in a homo sapiens country. Some SCU scientists speak of a range of 100-5000 gs of acceleration but what about the "instant acceleration" mentioned by TTSA (rather than 100 or 5000 gs)?

    The non-human hypothesis should be almost inevitably mentioned (whether the UAP intelligences live in facilities inside the crust of the earth or in the Moon or a space station or come from deep space and even other (physical) "dimensions") especially once the authorities get evidence and declarations that at least some UAP cannot be built by current homo sapiens tech.

    Live Congressional UFO-UAP Hearing May 17th 2022

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSDweUbGBow

    The hearing has demonstrated again how amazing how little they knew! After so much evidence and research! They want to start from scratch, don't they? If Mr Brady and Mr. Moultrie are not well informed about major cases, who is? Who really controls the research?

    If much of what Luis Elizondo said and what abduction research and Ufology has is credible and solid, then Mr. Brady and Mr. Moultrie (who appear to be sincere) do not know much. Then who does? Who has operational control over retro engineering, human-non human communication research, UAP and biological material, MILABS, previous UFO research programs.

    Civilian research and communication become even more important. Not just relying on or placing our bets on political, military, or even large academic institutions.

    It therefore confirms every pre-hearing interview that The Pentagon never sends anyone up to Capital Hill who might slip and tell the truth. Therefore this is not a surprise.

    Christopher Mellon expected more out of it.

    @ChrisKMellon

    “That was a frustrating hearing as well as a reminder both of how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go.”

    On one hand Mellon has a very limited, non-history association with the topic. Never set your expectations too high to avoid disappointment. On the other hand, I expected a lack of substance and that is what we observed.

    However, I’m not despondent with all this session which really proved is that we now know that - THEY DO KNOW - Brady is a liar and Moultrie came off sensible if not totally reliable. implying he's wearing hand-cuffs and has been given his marching orders - it's only the overture. They BOTH know the origins are off-world.

    If they admitted it ALL today - war in the Ukraine, Putin, the pandemic, abortion issues, the Supreme Court, bad health care, female genital mutilation, radicalism, domestic terrorism, Jan 6th Hearings in June etc. etc. would be on the news - yes - but AFTER the weather.

    The US cannot afford to add to the chaos - at least not yet - right now.

    The pressure to hold this hearing was/is enormous. I’m hopeful - the panel questioners were fully prepared with the right questions - some missed the mark but Schiff, Gallagher and Welch were spot on yet too polite. This is disappointing but never-the-less a required first huge step.

    Don't also forget - this is NOT the USGOV's issue - it is THE PEOPLE'S ISSUE - WE OWN IT - NOT THEM.

    If neither Moultrie nor Brady know or have authority, who are those that really control the most advanced information? And, is it a legal arrangement?

    The US was in a cold war before, and representatives always said the same thing or, at any rate, tried to minimize the issue. But they have almost always said the same thing. Since the 1950s: "we don't know what they are." However, to me, neither Brady nor Moultrie came across as knowing that they are ET or being given their marching orders not to admit this. They came across as new initiates on the block.

    Rather, it looks as though the ones that truly know and control the advanced research are using these two mostly uninformed high-level officials to reestablish the old narrative:

    That phenomenon is real and that they don't know what it is. Like trying to start (again) from square one. If this is so, the legality of who actually knows and why not even Moultrie nor Brady are in the loop is a big issue.

    We may not accept or understand their slow pace but we have no control over it at a US governmental level. As I said - this is our issue - it belongs to us and we are the ones responsible for disclosure and awareness.

    The US Gov’t does not need another threat scenario or more chaos - that is one of the reasons why they drag their feet. Unfortunately - they know the song but we have the lyrics…

    Live Congressional UFO-UAP Hearing May 17th 2022

    Probably the best question was from Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin who asked them about the Admiral Wilson leak. Predictably, the response was effectively "No sir, never heard of it." The most appropriate follow up question would have been "REALLY? You are in charge of national security on the UAP issue and you've never heard of the Wilson document leak???? Give me a break!!!"

    At least Gallagher followed up with a brief explanation of what that leak document leak was about, and that is now in the Congressional record.

    Mellon: Government’s inability to explain flying objects strengthens ‘alien hypothesis” – The Hill
    https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/59...ngthens-alien/

    This is a must read article about the May 17, 2022 US UAP Hearing in Washington DC.

    It provides an excellent context in order to fully understand where the hearing committee members made major errors, how it was successful - in part and where it must go next.

    This article has been read by Captain Robert Salas who will be in Brazil later this month to testify. Robert Salas' public views and actions have been presented to the public on the nuclear issue and his role in keeping it the public eye. In addition representatives from ICER will be making the major submissions from a global perspective to the Brazilian government.

    Hopefully the Brazilian Hearing Committee won’t make the same errors.
    It will be interesting on the position of the Brazilian government should take publicly on the US Hearing.

    And an interesting partial step towards 'disclosure' from the Russians. The source is The Epoch Times (behind a login wall), with emphasis added by Zero Hedge.

    https://zerohedge.com/geopolitical/e...an-space-chief

    Extraterrestrial Intelligent Life Could Account For Some UFO Sightings: Russian Space Chief

    Dmitry Rogozin, the director-general of Russia’s space agency Roscosmos, said that some sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), colloquially referred to as UFOs, could be attributable to extraterrestrial intelligent life.


    Dmitry Rogozin, the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, in Baikonur, Kazakhstan, on Oct. 11, 2018.

    Rogozin said in a Russian televised interview, aired on June 11, that the Russian Academy of Sciences had been investigating and gathering information about UFO sightings. About 99.9 percent of the sightings were determined to be atmospheric or other physical phenomena and were unrelated to any kind of potentially intelligent life, he said.

    But we accept that such phenomena could exist,” Rogozin also noted, according to a translation by Russian state-owned news agency Sputnik.

    He also said he has read and viewed reports by Soviet test-pilot veterans, about what they witnessed during flights in the 1970s.

    “What we’re talking about usually took place during the first test fights,” he said, according to a translation by state-controlled media outlet RT. He said he had also received similar information from the United States’ space agency NASA, the outlet reported.

    The Russian space agency chief acknowledged that some people support the idea that human beings may be the objects of observation by other intelligent life forms, similar to how humans study microbes.

    Rogozin’s comments come about a month after a public U.S. congressional hearing was held on UFOs, the first such hearing in over 50 years.

    Scott Bray, the deputy director of Naval Intelligence, showed lawmakers two videos of UFOs but said he did not have an explanation for the objects seen in the videos.

    There are a small handful [of events] in which there are flight characteristics or signature management that we can’t explain with the data we have,” he said. “Those are obviously the ones that are of most interest to us.”

    The hearing came after a nine-page report (pdf) released in June 2021 said that a designated task force within the Pentagon, the UAP Task Force, identified 144 UFO sightings from 2004 to 2021 but could only explain one of them. Bray said that since the release of that preliminary assessment, the UAP Task Force database “has now grown to contain approximately 400 reports.”

    Bray noted that some of the reports involved incidents where U.S. military aircraft picked up radio frequency energy from the UAPs, but none of these detections suggested that they were “non-terrestrial in origin.” He did not comment in the hearing about whether any of the remaining reports suggested evidence of extraterrestrial life.

    Select Republican lawmakers were vocal in criticizing the hearing, and alleged that Democrats were trying to distract from tangible issues facing Americans such as inflation and a declining oil reserve; and that the Pentagon was withholding information from Americans and wasn’t providing “real answers to serious questions.”

    The public hearing was followed by a private session of the committee when lawmakers could hear classified information.

    When asked at the public hearing about whether the United States has any sensors underwater in the ocean to detect submerged UFOs, Ronald Moultrie, the Pentagon’s top intelligence official, did not respond to the question but said the matter would be “more appropriately addressed in [the] closed session.”

    China says it may have detected aliens, then deletes report
    By Natalie O'Neill ~ June 15, 2022

    https://nypost.com/2022/06/15/china-...eletes-report/
    (article best read from link includes photos, links and video)

    There’s something out there — maybe.

    China’s science ministry said this week that it picked up signs of alien life on the world’s largest radio telescope — then appeared to quickly delete a report about the discovery.

    The country’s powerful Sky Eye telescope detected electromagnetic signals of possible civilizations on other planets, according to a report published Tuesday in Science and Technology Daily, the official newspaper of China’s Ministry of Science and Technology.

    “[There were] several cases of possible technological traces and extraterrestrial civilizations from outside the earth,” the report said.

    The team of researchers, headed by the Beijing Normal University, said the mysterious frequencies were unlike anything they’d previously encountered and were investigating further, according to the report.

    But the report had apparently been removed from the newspaper’s website by Wednesday — even as the news began trending on the nation’s popular social network site, Weibo, along with other media outlets, according to TIME.com

    It was not immediately clear why the article had been yanked from the website.

    But Zhang Tonjie, chief scientist of the university’s extraterrestrial civilization search team, was quoted in the report saying the signals could have been radio interference.

    “The possibility that the suspicious signal is some kind of radio interference is also very high, and it needs to be further confirmed and ruled out. This may be a long process,” said Zhang.

    The 500-meter, single-dish Sky Eye launched in southwestern Guizhou province in September 2020 with the primary goal of detecting life on other planets.

    In 2020, researchers also detected two sets of suspicious signals along with a signal earlier this year linked to so-called “exoplanet targets,” Zhang said, according to the report.

    The latest research was also conducted by the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of California, Berkeley.

    Will new NASA study move the needle on UFO research?

    This is clearly the first step. They are looking for data from civilians as well as from government. They will not be working with classified data and will make everything transparent to the public. This should stimulate additional scientific investigation, and it will greatly help lift the stigma even further within the scientific community."

    Building on the December 2021 enactment of the unprecedented Gillibrand-Rubio-Gallego law dealing with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP, or UFOs), the congressional armed services and intelligence committees are now pushing forward with new legislative requirements to press the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community to accelerate their so-far sluggish implementation of the 2021 law.

    The new proposals also contain an array of mechanisms to probe for hidden or forgotten data on UFOs (AKA "unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena," UAP) that government components or contractors may have gathered since 1947.

    US Government House votes to make it easier to report UFOs.

    The House on Wednesday voted to create a secure government system for reporting UFOs and to compel current and former officials to reveal what they might know about the mysterious phenomena by promising to protect them from reprisal.

    The bipartisan amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, passed by voice vote without debate, is part of an aggressive effort to exert more oversight over an enduring intelligence-gathering challenge that has gained more attention in recent years.

    “This legislation may open the floodgates,” said a former Pentagon official responsible for investigating the sightings.

    Luis Elizondo’s unaired statement to the Brazilian Federal Senate

    First published in That UFO Podcast, July 11, 2022, at TC 1:19:29



    https://twitter.com/blackvaultcom/st...78193325924352


    And this is the transcript:


    "Greetings, ladies and gentlemen and esteemed members of the government of Brazil!

    I apologize for not being able to make this address in person and I hope that my appeal is not diminished in any way, due to my inability to be with you today.

    My name is Luis Elizondo and I'm a career intelligence officer with the United States government. From 2008 to 2017, I had the privilege to participate in a small, but significant program within the Pentagon, focusing on the collection of UFO data. In 2010, I was asked to lead the overall effort which later became a small footnote to my country's history, involving the dedicated study of this phenomenon.

    It was during this time that it became very evident to all of us involved in the project that our military was encountering a technology that far exceeded our own capabilities. Furthermore, it was abundantly clear that this technology had the ability to gain access to our controlled airspace, and once more perform in ways that was unimaginable and yet verifiable by some of our most sophisticated weapon platforms and data collection techniques.

    On a regular routine basis our military equities were coming face to face with these technologies, perplexing our military eyewitnesses, and stymieing our best efforts to understand the unique performance characteristics. Furthermore of critical concern, was the apparent interest this phenomenon has with our nuclear technologies, including power generation, weapons systems, and propulsion.

    Recently, elected officials in my country have decided the evidence was too overwhelming to ignore, and called upon our defense and intelligence communities to participate in a public hearing, of which I suspect many more will follow. The result of the hearing was simple and yet astonishing: 1) UFOs are real, 2) UFOs most likely represent a real technology, and 3) UFOs are considered a national interest for the United States.

    Further reinforcing this new priority is a requirement for defense and intelligence communities to work with partner nations and allies. Although I applaud this new, renewed interest in a historically forbidden area of study, it is with great concern that I worry about any single country having monopoly on the study of what is now considered beyond next generation technology and by default, controlling the narrative of this topic. This is precisely the mindset that has relegated the legitimate study of this topic to fringe and pseudoscience for the last seventy years.

    Ladies and gentlemen, today I speak to you not as a former intelligence officer, not as a representative of the US government, and not as a UFO expert. Today, I appeal to you as an ordinary citizen of the world, as your brother, your father, your son, pleading you take this topic seriously, and to do what is necessary, not just for your constituents, but for every person on the planet. Today, you have a rare opportunity that comes only once in a lifetime.

    Today, I ask you to seriously consider the establishment of a Brazilian government sponsored UFO program that includes scientists and academics. The time has come to remove conspiracy theory and replace it with quantum theory, remove stigma and replace it with academia, remove secrecy, and replace it with transparency. I ask that Brazil help lead the world in a new millennium of enlightenment and knowledge. I dream that one day Brazil may sit amongst friends, perhaps at the United Nations or perhaps even in San Marino, and help usher in a new era of understanding.

    Before we close I'd like to share a little personal thought, if I may, with you.

    You are in a very rare opportunity right now as leaders for Brazil. Times and opportunities like this do not happen very often. In fact, in one person's lifetime they may not happen at all. But as a species these paradigm moments occur for us and in fact are a natural part of our species' evolution.

    One man, for the very first time that man came out of the cave and looked into the heavens, realized that the shadows that were being portrayed on the side of the cave wall were no longer real. That wasn't mankind's reality and crawling out of the cave for the first time and witnessing the heavens, maybe that was the first fundamental paradigm change for our species.

    Perhaps the second time was when mankind struck two stones together and created a spark and that spark led to fire. That fire illuminated the darkness for which man was scared at one time, and now a man could roam freely in the night, illuminating the darkness.

    Perhaps the last time mankind came to some sort of paradigm moment like this was when two people were standing on a sandy beach, and one person looks to the other and says: "I'm going to sail over that horizon."

    Of course, the other person said: "No, you don't want to do that because you'll fall off the earth, and in fact, there are sea monsters out there. There are giant krakens and they will destroy your ship."

    Now we look back and we kind of laugh at that, but in reality, it turns out there are sea monsters. It's just that those sea monsters now have names: They're called great white sharks, blue whales, great squids of the Pacific, and they're not really sea monsters are they? They're part of our natural world, of our current paradigm.

    So perhaps with this topic, this is just another paradigm moment. Perhaps we as a species are standing yet on another sandy beach, and we're looking at the horizon one more time, and we're about to sail over that horizon together.

    I would submit to you that this change is a very necessary and very healthy part of our species' evolution, and I believe we may be at the precipice yet again of another paradigm moment for species.

    In closing, I'd like to thank you for allowing me to speak with you today, and thank you truly and humbly for your attention to this most important matter. Again, please forgive me for not being here in person, but I am here with you in spirit, and I sincerely hope that you can do what's necessary to help propel this topic forward.

    Please make no mistake! You are on the right side of history with this conversation. Thank you, and God bless!"

    The Senate’s Intelligence Committee Criticises Pentagon As UFOs ‘Exponentially’ Increase, Whilst Making Clear That New Office Will Not Investigate ‘Man-Made’ Objects

    This is a significant revelation and in effect states that the UAP Office will not be investigating man-made craft, and will instead investigate unknown phenomena, which are not attributable to any nation or non-state actor. Therefore, even (though many experts doubt) if China or Russia possessed crafts which move between space, air and water, the UAP Office would not be handling such reports if identified as such.

    The report provides a significant surprise from the normal UAP speak, where it states "cross-domain transmedium threats to United States national security are expanding exponentially"? I presume this means world security. Are they talking conventional too but if so which country has these "transmedium" craft?

    ‘The formal DoD and Intelligence Community definition of the terms used by the Office shall be updated to include space and undersea, and the scope of the Office shall be inclusive of those additional domains with focus on addressing technology surprise and ``unknown unknowns.''’

    The Report goes on to state that, ‘temporary nonattributed 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.’

    Its interesting that we have a crossing line into emphasis on under water 'craft'. IMO and speculation, this may indicate that they know the possible origins of the intelligence behind this which is 'under water bases'. We have been used to 'looking up' for answers to the phenomenon, but the answer may be under 'our feet'

    In dramatic shift, national intelligence director does not rule out ‘extraterrestrial’ origins for UFOs
    https://thehill.com/opinion/internat...-not-rule-out/

    For seven decades, government officials systematically dismissed, ignored and belittled any mention of UFOs. Indeed, despite mind-boggling intelligence assessments, Cold War-era national security fears led the U.S. government to apply scientifically absurd explanations to highly credible UFO encounters.

    In short, the prospect of a sitting high-level national security official openly discussing otherworldly origins for UFOs was long unthinkable — until last week.

    Asked about a recent report in which the government admitted that it could not explain 143 out of 144 military encounters with mysterious flying objects – including several which appeared to demonstrate extraordinary technology – director of national intelligence Avril Haines said, “There’s always the question of ‘is there something else that we simply do not understand, that might come extraterrestrially?’”

    Haines’s comment is the latest sign that a seismic shift in the government’s official stance on UFOs is underway.

    Just a few weeks before Haines’s groundbreaking statement, NASA administrator Bill Nelson made waves by speculating publicly that UFOs might have otherworldly origins. Indeed, after meeting with the naval aviators who encountered objects that appeared to move in ways that defied physics and aerodynamics, Nelson is convinced that the pilots saw something truly extraordinary.

    Moreover, after reading a classified government report on the military’s recent UFO encounters, Nelson – an Army veteran, former senator and ex-astronaut – said, “The hair stood up on the back of my neck.” Clearly, something has NASA’s chief spooked.

    Like Nelson, former Presidents Obama and Clinton both speculated openly about the likelihood of alien life when asked about UFOs in June. Obama went on to state that “There’s footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are. We can’t explain how they moved, their trajectory. They did not have an easily explainable pattern.”

    Obama was likely referring to mysterious flying craft that, according to the government, appear to “remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernible means of propulsion.”

    Queried about these seemingly physics-defying movements, former CIA director John Brennan made a jaw-dropping statement, suggesting that “a different form of life” might be behind the phenomena. Similarly, another former CIA director (and long-time UFO skeptic), James Woolsey, signaled a new openness to otherworldly explanations for UFOs.

    John Ratcliffe, Haines’s predecessor as director of national intelligence, injected eyebrow-raising context to the military’s recent UFO encounters.

    According to Ratcliffe, U.S. intelligence analysts have “high confidence” that foreign adversaries – such as China or Russia – are not behind the most extraordinary UFO sightings. In a stark summation of the government’s assessment of the phenomenon, Ratcliffe stated that some UFOs exhibit “technologies that we don’t have and, frankly, that we are not capable of defending against.”

    After reading the classified version of the government’s recent UFO report, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) echoed Ratcliffe’s comments, ruling out highly advanced Chinese or Russian aircraft as likely explanations for the mysterious objects. In an interview about the military’s UFO encounters, Romney referred to “technology which is in a whole different sphere than anything we understand.”

    But sightings of unknown craft exhibiting highly advanced technology are not a recent phenomenon. Roscoe Hillenkoetter, the first director of the CIA, said that objects “operating under intelligent control” displayed extraordinary technology in the decades after World War II.

    Mirroring recent government assessments, Hillenkoetter stated that neither the United States nor any other nation could have developed such advanced aircraft.

    Indeed, declassified documents from the late 1940s and early 1950s show that intelligence analysts systematically ruled out ultra-secret U.S. technology and foreign competitors as plausible explanations for the most compelling UFO encounters.

    Despite these jaw-dropping assessments, a series of bizarre – and still unexplained – 1952 UFO sightings in the skies above Washington, D.C. alarmed America’s defense planners. As UFO reports and public queries about the incidents overwhelmed the military’s communications channels, national security officials grew concerned that the Soviet Union could exploit public interest in UFOs to cause mass panic and gain an advantage in a surprise attack.

    As a result, the Air Force’s 20-year project to catalogue UFO sightings quickly devolved into an exercise in “debunking” and discrediting even the most credible encounters.

    As renowned atmospheric physicist James McDonald made clear, the Air Force began applying “meteorologically, chemically and optically absurd” explanations to UFO sightings. McDonald’s assessment was corroborated by astronomer J. Allen Hynek, who served for two decades as the Air Force UFO project’s civilian scientific consultant.

    In a stark – and refreshing – break from the government’s record of foisting bizarre, unscientific explanations onto highly credible UFO cases, Haines stated last week that “we don’t understand everything we’re seeing.”

    Thankfully, the glaring deficiencies in UFO reporting and analysis identified by Haines may soon be addressed.

    If historic legislation proposed by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) is adopted by Congress, the government will be forced to conduct the comprehensive, objective and science-based assessment that the UFO phenomenon has long demanded.

    Congress implies UFOs have non-human origins

    In Congress, where legislation is drafted, debated and enacted, clear and concise definitions are of paramount importance. As military aircrews increasingly encounter unidentified flying objects (UFOs), lawmakers recently made several striking revisions to the definition of “UFO.” Key among them: The explosive implication that some UFOs have non-human origins.

    As first reported by researcher Douglas Johnson, a draft bill approved unanimously by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence rebrands UFOs as “unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena.” Expanding the definition to include objects in space and under the oceans significantly broadens the scope of a muscular new office tasked by Congress with investigating UFOs.

    The revised definition of “UFO” also includes “transmedium” objects which, according to lawmakers, “transition between space and the atmosphere, or between the atmosphere and bodies of water.”

    In short, members of a key national security-focused committee believe that objects of unknown origin are demonstrating remarkably advanced technology by moving seamlessly between space, air and water. A report accompanying the legislation notes that “transmedium threats to United States national security are expanding exponentially.”

    It strains credulity to believe that lawmakers would include such extraordinary language in public legislation without compelling evidence. Perhaps members have seen the classified sensor data that prompted former President Trump’s director of national intelligence to state that UFOs exhibit “technologies that we don’t have [and] that we are not capable of defending against” (among several other eyebrow-raising comments).

    Most strikingly, Congress’s new definition of “UFO” excludes “man-made” objects.

    Speaking of The Hill (@Kryztian)

    Is this headed into the direction of "disclosure?" Or, is this just another cog in the wheel to set up humanity into believing in "benevolent / here to save us" ET?

    What if "they" (or at least the most significant player in the basket of aspects called, The Phenomenon by insiders)... if "they" are simply "from here" (the near Earth part of our solar system) yet from a different time? I know what the 'hopium smokers' want it to be but if we just blindly accept the narrative that is under development, what might be our fate?
