In a recent article posted by the-unidentified.net, Andreas made some valid points about the past, present, and the future of ufology and activism, particularly in regards to rhetoric that has failed us in the past but more importantly, rhetoric that can be used in the future to gain better traction as we move forward slowly into the conversation with our elected officials.I must add that this particular blog is not to thwart new activists or researchers from the extremely strong points Andreas has made in his article, but to add to the conversation and to offer caution to certain aspects of the new activism initiatives.Stigma has hindered research and progress in finding answers about the Uap phenomena perhaps as long as the beginning of humanity. Certain rhetoric and how we approach our elected leaders, mainstream science, and the general population as a whole, has to be carefully considered as to not alienate serious research even further from the public eye.However, there are some key points to add to what Andreas has suggested and perhaps be a little weary of.Information found on UFOTwitter as well as any other form of social media must be taken with a grain of salt. Disinformation has long been a problem before the internet and will likely be the biggest setback in the future as well. And as much as I agree that many Facebook groups have become echo chambers, I would encourage future researchers and activists to proceed with caution and not get stuck in a certain mindset that one form of social media over the other will bring about faster and more credible information.Let me make myself clear before I continue, however.I am in no way trying to sway anyone from UFOTwitter!!I use it as much as anyone else and in alot of cases, has been my preferred Go-To when looking for something current.It can be an indispensable tool for new activists and the casual onlooker as well.Also, I would like to address one other key point that can make certain journalists, activists, researchers and ufo enthusiasts uncomfortable at times.Using the Uap phenomena as being a “threat” to national security or humanity in general, may not always work or be beneficial in creating a serious discussion with research groups or mainstream scientists willing to entertain the thought of something they can’t explain.This particular debate has been ongoing for a while now among military personnel and elected officials in certain areas of the government and works extremely well in these circles when trying to establish communication about such a difficult topic.However, I would personally shy away from using this phenomena as being a threat to somehow control the narrative. Especially when a lot of people in ufology often debate whether or not full disclosure is really a good idea.There are many in the field of ufology firmly believe that full disclosure would cause a panic among the general population. I personally am not one of those individuals but I’ve heard the arguments and some can make a quite substantial and compelling case against it.Again, this blog is not to discredit or downplay anything Andreas has stated in his latest article, but to add to the ideas put forth by him and to try to assist in ideas that should be carefully weighed before moving forward.We are on the cusp of a new era of UAP research/journalism/activism and the intelligent, level headed and new ideas should be respected as much as the trailblazers of ufology should be.Together………maybe we can finally discover a world beyond the one we know? 

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know “The Phenomenon” , one of the most popular and talked about documentaries, written and directed by James Fox, was released October 6th, 2020.

The documentary dives 

into the Uap phenomena and the on-going secrecy within the United States government with appearances by high ranking government officials and NASA astronauts.

More importantly however, is the topic of the unidentified aerial phenomena being witnessed in our skies by military personnel, being a potential threat to national security.

As the topic of unidentified aerial phenomena is being talked about more and more in the mainstream media, anyone with a rational perspective on the issue would have to wonder if these anomalies being witnessed in the sky really are a potential threat.

Let’s start with what we know so far.

Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been quoted saying “If they had been called upon by the president to launch, they couldn’t have done it.” Referring to what he believed to be interference by UAP’s, tampering with our nuclear weapons. Also saying, “there is more than one up there.”

What does this mean for our military and the citizens of the United States?

For all intents and purposes, this would be considered to be an “act of war” by the military and our government. And, incidents of UAPs being witnessed over nuclear facilities is nothing new. In fact, UAPs have been reported flying over nuclear facilities since the creation of the Atomic bomb. For anyone who is new to ufology would be wise to look into the Los Alamos and Sandia, New Mexico incidents (the home of the A-Bomb) in 1948.

In the summer of 1952, the Washington ufo incident or incidents, also known as the Washington flap, was a series of  Uap reports from July 12 to July 29, 1952, over Washington, D.C. The most publicized sightings took place on consecutive weekends, July 19–20 and July 26–27. These unidentified craft were spotted flying over the capital building prompting the Air Force to scramble fighter jets to intercept what was thought to be an immediate danger.

The fighter pilots were out maneuvered and were unable to intercept the unidentified craft. The Air Force however, made an official statement saying the event was nothing more than a weather inversion.

That statement should be left up to the reader to decide pending further research, to come up with their own conclusions.

But of you believe these anomalies that were spotted flying over Washington were craft controlled by human or extraterrestrial intelligence, you once again would have to consider the motivation of such action.

On both weekends when the unidentified craft were seen, there was no immediate danger or any reason to panic unnecessarily. Perhaps that is why the government’s decision to downplay the incident was considered by some to be the best choice at the time. Because once again, there was no real threat to our people or our land.

Now, fast forwarding a few decades, we have the videos released by the Pentagon, of Navy pilots encountering unidentified craft maneuvering in ways that they claim defy the laws of physics. Moreover, jamming their radars in at least on occasion thus, committing another “act of war.”

But again, even these encounters were not threatening in nature. The Navy pilots were not attacked or harmed in any way.

So with all of the Uap activity happening in our air space, it’s clear that this phenomena should be something everyone should be concerned about and talking about different options on how to move forward is necessary to keep ourselves from a potential harm. If these anomalies in our skies are extraterrestrial, we cannot leave anything off of the table when it comes to options about gaining a understanding about what is actually happening. But also considering that in spite of these incidents around our nuclear facilities, unidentified craft flying over the capital building, or having a few run ins with or military personnel, there has never been an act of aggression or any attack on our military personnel (as far as we know as the average citizen). Yes, there have been stories and speculation but nothing that the American government would admit to as of yet.

With the topic of UFOs in our air space gaining momentum in the mainstream media and the government giving the American people tiny bits of information, giving the average citizen the impression that there is in fact, something going on that our government or military can not explain, we now have to seriously consider how we as Americans will respond and how our military will respond to an actual and undeniable encounter with an extraterrestrial intelligence.

In an interview on Sunday, Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo asked Trump, “Can you explain why the Department of Defense has set up a UFO task force? Are there UFOs?”

“Well, I’m going to have to check on that,” Trump replied. “I mean, I’ve heard that. I heard that two days ago. So I’ll check on that. I’ll take a good, strong look at that.”

Trump then went on to talk about the U.S. military:

“I will tell you this: We have now created a military the likes of which we have never had before. In terms of equipment, the—the equipment we have, the weapons we have, and hope to god we never have to use it. But have created a military the likes of which nobody has, nobody has, ever had. Russia, China, they’re all envious of what we had. All built in the USA. We’ve rebuilt it all—$2.5 trillion dollars. As far as the other question I’ll check on it, I heard about it two days ago actually.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP

Now, with him immediately bringing up the military and the new capabilities of the like we’ve never seen before, definitely makes me raise an eyebrow.

Was this a way of saying that the phenomena we have been witnessing in our skies our own military?

Was this a way of giving the American public reassurance that our military has things under control?

Or as some have speculated, a warning to extraterrestrial intelligence that we would be ready for war?

That remains to be seen down the road I suppose.

But if it was a warning to our intergalactic neighbors, maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to pull the trigger and get a handle on what is really going on. Moreover, finding out if our otherworldly counterparts could be allies in a bigger picture that us as humans do not know about yet, would be a better option than making another unnecessary enemy.

There is gonna have to be difficult conversations amongst our leaders in the American government as well as proud the globe. And we will, to some extent, trust our leaders to make the right decisions moving forward in engaging with unknown life forms visiting our planet.

In the mean time however, private sector investigators and research teams such as the TTSA and other organizations of similar interests, should continue aggressively in finding answers and also, coming up with protocols to help the government and more importantly the citizens around the planet deal with an extraterrestrial presence in a calm a mind responsible fashion.
