SPECIAL PROJECTS
Obama Offers Thoughts on UFOs

Former President Barack Obama has once again offered his thoughts on UFOs, specifically musing about what might occur if it were discovered that aliens were behind the phenomenon. He shared the intriguing insights during an appearance on this week’s edition of the New York Times podcast The Ezra Klein Show. Asked about his previous assertion that he would like to know what UFOs are, Obama replied “absolutely” and the former president was then posed with the rather eyebrow-raising scenario of how his politics might change if it were confirmed that the phenomenon is extraterrestrial in nature.
The former president first explored the parameters of such a hypothetical event, wondering if we would be able to make contact with these ETs. However, Klein opted for perhaps the least fantastic version of such a development, saying “we can’t get in touch. We just know we’re not alone and someone’s been here.” Within that framework, which Obama called “interesting,” he indicated that a proverbial alien disclosure would not change his politics in particular since they are “premised on the fact that we are these tiny organisms on this little speck floating in the middle of space.”
Obama noted that he would often cite this idea to his staff, explaining that “I’d tell them a statistic that John Holdren, my science adviser, told me, which was that there are more stars in the known universe than there are grains of sand on the planet Earth.” He went on to observe that there are many differences among humans inhabiting the planet right now and expressed the hope “that the knowledge that there were aliens out there would solidify people’s sense that what we have in common is a little more important.”

Perhaps the most tantalizing aspect of Obama’s answer centered around the repercussions of such a revelation, as he noted that “no doubt there would be immediate arguments about like, well, we need to spend a lot more money on weapons systems to defend ourselves.” Additionally, he theorized that “new religions would pop up” and in what may be something of a worrisome, but probably accurate thought, he ultimately mused “who knows what kind of arguments we get into. We’re good at manufacturing arguments for each other.”
Pentagon Confirms Leaked Video Showing “Transmedium” UFO Is Authentic

USS Omaha
The Pentagon has confirmed that newly leaked footage, appearing to show an unidentified aerial object that was filmed as it entered the ocean, was obtained by US Navy personnel and is being examined by the Navy’s UAP Task Force.
The video was obtained by personnel aboard the USS Omaha, a United States Navy Independence-class littoral combat ship, during a 2019 incident that occurred off the California coast.
The footage was posted online on Friday, May 14 by documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell on his Instagram account. Corbell previously released footage at his website in recent weeks depicting a series of pyramid-shaped objects filmed by Navy personnel which the Pentagon subsequently confirmed to be authentic. According to Corbell, the newly released video was filmed from within the Combat Information Center (CIC) of the USS Omaha on July 15, 2019, at approximately 11 PM EST.
The Debrief reached out to the Pentagon about the newly leaked video asking whether it could be confirmed as authentic, and whether it was obtained by Navy personnel aboard the USS Omaha.
“I can confirm that the video was taken by Navy personnel, and that the UAPTF included it in their ongoing examinations,” said Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough in an email response.

The Debrief also inquired as to whether the video was included in reports by the Navy’s UAP Task Force, and whether the object in the video has been classed as “unknown” and possibly representing unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).
On May 7, 2019, USS Omaha (LCS-12) departed from its San Diego homeport for sea trials after serving a 10-month Post Shakedown Availability (PSA). The following month on June 20, the Omaha (Crew 212), with Cmdr. David W. Walton Jr. in command, made a short stop to unload ammunition at Bravo Pier, and was subsequently moored at Naval Base San Diego again before returning to sea for the majority of the month of July. The warship returned home again on August 1.
The USS Omaha during these exercises in the summer of 2019, USS Omaha was one of several Navy vessels that observed unusual aerial objects, while operating in a sensitive training range within 100 miles of the California coast. Following the incidents, inquiries from Naval intelligence officers and investigations by the FBI field office in Los Angeles were conducted.
According to a transcript of the video by George Knapp the dialogue from within the USS Omaha Combat Information Center reads:
:05 “Took off, booking’ it.”
:21 “Break, OMAHA, PINCKNEY, KIDD, RAFAEL PERALTA possibility to launch helo ASAP”.
:28 “If it splashes you get a bearing and range.”:30 “Yes sir.”
:32 “… keep going bro [inaudible]”:33 [inaudible]
:36 “… it’s windy as f**k out there.”
:42 “… got a lotta white water out there. Six foot swells.”
:43 “Whoa, it’s getting close.”
:50 “We have, uh, 31 knots sustained wind topside, gust of 40 [knots].”
:56 “Whoa, it splashed!”
:57 “Splashed!”
:58 “Mark bearing and range.”

Navy Released photo of a UAP/UFO
In a forthcoming interview with Bill Whitaker for 60 Minutes airing Sunday, Former Navy Lieutenant Ryan Graves said that members of his F/A-18 fighter squadron observed unidentified aerial phenomena in restricted airspace southeast of Virginia Beach almost daily between 2015 and 2017. Graves told Whitaker that he and other Navy pilots had begun to take the presence of the objects for granted on account of their frequent appearances.
Graves told 60 Minutes that he believes the objects are a threat to the security of the United States.
“I am worried, frankly,”
Graves said to Whitaker stating that if tactical aircraft from adversary nations were seen in the same controlled airspace it “would be a massive issue.”
“We’re happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there,” Graves said on account of the fact that the unidentified objects he and other members of his squadron observed don’t resemble any known threatening adversarial technologies.
In recent weeks, the Pentagon also confirmed that a number of photos and videos leaked online, purportedly showing unidentified aerial phenomena, had similarly been obtained by Navy personnel. The images, which appear to have been taken around the same time as a photo originally reported by The Debrief last year, were shared by investigative journalist George Knapp at his website MysteryWire.com.
USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier

Researcher Joe Foster tells There is one sighting that took place back in 1970 supposedly involving a nuclear powered aircraft carrier that had a close encounter with a large UFO/UAP that hovered over its flight deck, shutting down all power to the ship. One radioman who was on duty defied orders to stay inside during the event, venturing out to a place where he could observe the craft. After power returned to the ship, the ship returned (I believe to Norfolk, VA) and before arriving the ships skipper got on the closed circuit TV and debriefed the entire several thousand member crew thus conforming the required process. During this time the crew was instructed to not discuss this event at all and that it was in fact classified. Obviously, one crewman (out of several thousand onboard) defied that edict and released his eyewitness information to the general public. Technically, he was in violation of the classification and he could I suppose have been brought up on charges and punished accordingly, but apparently, he was not.
Citizen Hearing on Disclosure

The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure held at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. in 2013 was both unusual and powerful. The same people should speak before Congress if the truth would be known. It was unusual because the testimony focused on the history of events and evidence pointing toward an extraterrestrial (non-human) intelligence engaging the human race now and in the past. It was powerful because of the transformative impact the testimony had on the sitting committee of six former members of Congress, all of whom held skepticism on the subject matter.
Witnesses included Apollo 14 Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, former Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister of Canada Paul Hellyer, and many former members of the U. S. military such as me who held high security clearances. More information is available at: www.citizenhearing.org
Senator Gavel UFOs Are Disabling Nuclear Weapons.

Former US Senator Mike Gravel (Democrat Alaska) for twelve years pointed out during the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure that many former military officers, like retired Air Force Captain Robert Salas, have seen UFOs and observed them disabling nuclear weapons. The Soviet Union also reports disabling of their ICBMs and attacks on key installations by UFOs. The aliens have done everything within their power to encourage the destruction of nuclear weapons.
“ Gravel said.
“What we’re faced with here is, in areas of the media, and the government too, an effort to marginalize and ridicule people who have specific knowledge.”
During a meeting held by UFO advocacy group Paradigm Research, six former congress representatives were paid $20,000 to reveal their thoughts about UFO sightings and extraterrestrial visits. By Ashley Davis,
Former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska) said, “I believe that the Barack Obama White House is hiding the truth about “extraterrestrial influence that is investigating our planet.”
“It goes right to the White House, and of course, once the White House takes a position, ‘well there’s nothing going on’…it just goes down the chain of command, everyone stands toe,” he said.

“The smoking gun of the whole issue, which is when they saw hovering space craft in Wyoming and South Dakota over the ICBM missile silos that the missiles couldn’t work,” Gravel said.
“What we’re faced with here is, in areas of the media, and the government too, an effort to marginalize and ridicule people who have specific knowledge.”
After he was asked about the fact that he was given money to make a speech, Gravel insisted it did not influence his agreement with the testimony.
He also indicated we have back engineered UFOs and built our own space fleet.
“This is an opportunity which I’ve taken to focus on this issue for an entire week and the preparation I made in coming to it, for my enrichment that’s very important,” he said.

George Filer and Steven Bassett
On the right is Steven Bassett who arranged the excellent Citizens Hearings on Disclosure. I was impressed by all the speakers and the retired Congressmen and Congresswomen. I wish they were still in office, but I will be sending them my weekly files and hope they will pass them on to their friends. The main ballroom of the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. was converted to look like a Senate hearing room for the five day hearing,. The Hearing Committee included former Senator Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), former Congresswomen Darlene Hooley (D-Ore.), Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-Mich.), Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.), and former Congressman Merrill Cook (R-Utah). These intelligent people have seen the evidence by forty experts and know the phenomenon is real.

Congresswoman Carolyn Kilpatrick Praises Testimony at Hearing
I had a pleasant conversation with Congresswoman Carolyn Kilpatrick who told me she was very moved by the testimony of pilots as well as from the other witnesses during the week. She said,
“I’ve heard some of the most intelligent, scientific and universal knowledge on the topic that I didn’t know I was going to witness. Yesterday, we heard from 12 different countries who have hundreds of years of scientific intelligent information on this subject.
“It behooves us, as human beings, in what is known as the greatest country in the world, to participate in that discussion. To not act like something exists and then to further act like it’s a joke, we do a disservice to our ancestors, to God and to the people of the world. “I want the world and the universe to continue. And if there is something out there — and I’m not a scientist — there’s a whole lot we don’t know. I think it’s ignorant of any people not to seek out what we need to know to continue the universe. “I was convinced before this morning’s panel that there probably is something out there, and I’m willing to work the rest of my life to see that, if it is, how we can enhance the universe to see that we all have a better quality of life.”

James Courant & Major George Filer
I personally provided Testimony on the Pilot’s Panel with commercial airline pilot James Courant. Both of us had chased. Both of us had chased UFOs and know they are real seeing them visually and on radar. I explained my chasing a UFO over England that appeared as large as the Firth of Forth Bridge in Scotland that is a mile long. That our aircrew was debriefed by Prince Phillip for over an hour after dinner. Further that in England a half mile from Stonehenge where the UFO was hovering is a he megalithic structures 5000 years old called a Cursus with the exact outline of the UFO we chased.

UFOs Visited Stonehenge Area for 5000 years
The banks at the terminal ends enclose the Cursus. There are fifty in Europe of various lengths and traditionally it has been thought that the Cursus were used as processional avenues.
It’s possible ancient UFOs landed here and a six foot ditch was dug to indicate it was safe to land here. Additionally the burial mounds next to the Cursus contain the skeletons of humanoids with exceptionally large heads, that appear alien.

Linda Howe, Gerry Hecaltire, Peter Robbins, Peter Davenport
I spoke with all these panel members who had excellent presentations. Peter Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center, who recounted eyewitness reports of UFOs hovering motionless and able to change direction more quickly than earthly technologies would seem to allow.
Peter Robbins, a researcher and lecturer, who told about the Rendlesham Forest Incident in the U.K., where U.S. Air Force personnel said they witnessed a UFO.
Gary Heseltine, a former U.K. police detective, who has collected sightings from police officers stated, “I now have over 425 cases involving over 940 British police officers,” Heseltine told the panel. “Over 70 percent of these cases are multiple-witness-officer cases.”
Linda Moulton Howe, a researcher and filmmaker who studies livestock mutilation, brought slides of horses and cattle that had been stripped of flesh and their organs removed surgically, and were left on soft patches of earth without any surrounding tracks. Howe said.
“Ranchers have seen the glowing discs put beams down. Ranchers have seen the animals rise,” Thanks to Chris Good. CITIZEN HEARING
Thousands of orbs are witnessed monthly and there are over 1000 reported sightings each a month and interest is growing from the public as websites, Television and radio programs grow in importance.
Gary McKinnon, the English Hacker

Gary McKinnon, the English hacker facing 70 years in U.S. prison for searching Pentagon sites for UFO evidence, Extradition was blocked by UK
McKinnon said he was able to access the US’ Space Command network, where he found evidence of an extra terrestrial mission. “I found a list of officers’ names,” he claims, “under the heading ‘Non-Terrestrial Officers’… What I think it means is not earth-based. I found a list of ‘fleet-to-fleet transfers’ and a list of ship names. I looked them up. They weren’t U.S. Navy ships. What I saw made me believe they have some kind of spaceship, off-planet.”
The hacker claimed there were hackers from Denmark, Italy, China, Germany, Turkey, Thailand… every night for the entire five to seven years I was doing this.
McKinnon says the weirdest thing he found was a list of “Non-Terrestrial Officers” and fleet transfers between ships that don’t exist in the U.S. Navy.” –
Prime Minister David Cameron has stated, “I do recognize the seriousness of this case, and the Deputy Prime Minister and I actually raised it with President Obama when he visited. I think the point is that it is not so much about the alleged offence, which everyone knows is a very serious offence, and we can understand why the Americans feel so strongly about it.”
Note – If Mr. McKinnon’s data is correct, it validates the assumption the US Navy may well be operating off-planet via back-engineered ET technology. His data indicates the Navy and probably the Air Force operate a fleet of space craft. Gary McKinnon states, “What I saw made me believe they have some kind of spaceship, off-planet”
In his interview with the BBC, Gary claimed, “The Disclosure Project” had some very credible people all saying there is UFO technology, there’s anti-gravity, there’s free energy, and it’s extraterrestrial in origin and they’ve captured spacecraft and reverse engineered it.”

Blackstar Spaceship
He claimed to have viewed a detailed image of “something not man-made and cigar shaped floating above the northern hemisphere. McKinnon stated the image was 256 megabytes in size, yet that the craft’s details were still distinct in 4-bit color and low resolution
Star Wars and Space Force

Space War Downing UFOs
Solar Warden Combat
Space Force and Star Wars
Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel, told us during the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure held at the National Press Club, “We have a space force in existence and it has been written about extensively.”
We have confirmation from a Senator the US has a Space Force that apparently is designed to fight off alien intruders? Perhaps the Star Wars program was real and ultimately successful?
Reagan’s interest in anti-ballistic missile technology dated back to 1967 when, as governor of California, he paid a visit to physicist Edward Teller at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Reagan reportedly was very taken by Teller’s briefing on directed-energy weapons (DEWs), such as lasers and microwaves. Teller argued that DEWs could potentially defend against an ICBM nuclear attack.

Dr. Edward Teller
According to George Shultz, the Secretary of State during Reagan’s presidency, the meeting with Teller was “the first gleam in Ronald Reagan’s eye of what later became the Strategic Defense Initiative” (Shultz 261
Does our President know about the alien presence? According to Stephen Bassett, Executive Director of the Paradigm Research Group, he likely does. Bassett claims that John Podesta one of Obama’s advisors was his transition appointee and is now a newly hired Obama consultant is an acknowledged X-Files buff, who encouraged full disclosure of UFO files at the National Press Club.
The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), also known as Star Wars, was a program first initiated on March 23, 1983 under President Ronald Reagan. According to My friend William Tomkins he designed the space ships in the 1970s and they flew in the 1980s. Solar Warden spaceships were already in orbit when President Reagan announced his intent to build the Star Wars as a sophisticated anti-ballistic missile system in order to prevent missile attacks from the Soviet Union with a secondary mission against UFOs if needed. Allegedly there’re approx eight cigar-shaped Motherships (each longer than two football fields end-to-end) and 43 small “scout ships. Reagan had seen UFOs on several occasions.
The nickname “Star Wars” was attached to the program for its ability to down UFOs, many of which included lasers, subatomic particle beams, and computer-guided projectiles fired by electromagnetic rail guns—all under the central control of a supercomputer system.” By using these systems, the United States planned to intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles and perhaps UFOs while they still flew high above the Earth.

President Reagan and Premier Gorbachev
One interesting point was that President Reagan publicly offered the Star Wars system to the Soviet Union and spoke about the nations of Earth joining to fight extraterrestrial forces. He specifically asked for Soviet help in fighting aliens. Strategic Defense Initiative, It became the most expensive weapons system in history. There have been any leaks indicating a group of nations joined to shoot down UFOs. I know that chasing UFOs the Soviet Union would often join the chase. Gorbachev announces the Soviet Union and other nations of the world would help fight an alien invasion.
Tuesday, June 11, 1985 Reagan’s Diary
Lunch was with 5 top space scientists. It was fascinating. Space truly is the last frontier and some of the developments there in astronomy etc. are like science fiction except they are real. I learned that our shuttle capacity is such we could orbit 300 people.
Later in my office one of the guests Dr. Edward Teller reported on where we are on our Defense research for a way to halt Nuclear missiles. The bad news is that our Congressional advocates of lower defense spending are cutting our research funds at a critical moment that will be very hurtful to the program.

Rail Gun thought to aboard Solar Warden
Reagan’s comment was revealing since the Space Shuttle held a maximum of eight people and only five were built for space flight. Five times eight is forty, suggesting 260 others could be in space. Reagan was revealing the existence of a highly classified space program that could accommodate hundreds of astronauts in orbit? Thirty years later it likely exists and Russian and American astronauts are in space together. Be careful in believing what the news media tells you.
By the end of SDI, the primary focus of the weapons design group was focused on “land based kinetic energy weapons.” These weapons were essentially guided missile projectiles. At the end of the Strategic Defense Initiative, thirty billion dollars had been invested in the program.

The original Star Wars System as changed according to prime contractor TRW: Working in pairs for stereoscopic viewing, the SMTS is the low earth satellite orbit component of the Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS shown here). Its unique capability to track missiles throughout their trajectory allows the system to effectively cue missile defense systems with accurate targeting data.
The satellites developed precise location, velocity and acceleration data on the enemy vehicles. The planned interceptors can engage threats at ranges beyond the capabilities of their associated radars. Using data generated by SMTS, these interceptors can use that excess capability to negate attacking missiles far from friendly forces and population centers. This shoot-look-shoot option reduces interceptor inventory requirements. Early intercepts made possible by SMTS extend the boundaries of the defended area some three to five times.
SMTS can precisely cue ground radars; allowing them to limit operations until a hostile missile is within their range. This reduces the threat from homing anti-radiation missiles — likely players on modern battlefields. The constellation provides global surveillance for ballistic missile launches
Tim Beckley Passes Away
Absolutely awful news, for me and for others who knew him. I just learned that one of my friends in ufology, Timothy Green Beckley, passed away last night. He had serious heart problems for some years now, but still. Perhaps now he can find out what the angels and aliens are all about.
Strange Craft
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs

U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and airmen who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men – military professionals who flew planes, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at air fields around the world – began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft. During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing UFOs off their plane’s wings. Award-winning investigative author John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer. From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFOs over during the Cuban Missile Crisis to lights over the DMZ in Vietnam Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters, Filer’s most memorable case – the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 – is fully recounted for the first time in this book. As a member of the Disclosure Project, military experts, astronauts, and scientists urge the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public. Filer describes his UFO encounters in this incredible book. By John L. Guerra. https://amzn.to/2SK3SIQ
