The hearing will be held Tuesday, May 17 in front of a subcommittee of the House Intelligence Committee, which is chaired by California Rep. Adam Schiff.
Schiff told the New York Times that the committee is holding the series to explore “one of the great mysteries of our time and to break the cycle of excessive secrecy and speculation with truth and transparency.” Two current Pentagon officials will testify at the hearing.

New documents about the AATIP show Stranger Things is actually reality TV
The concept of Stranger Things is closer to reality, according to new documents that are being published by VICE..
The United States government has a defunct Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) …
(of course other alphabet agencies could still be doing the same, right) ..
The agency spent millions of taxpayer dollars to research experimental technologies such as invisibility cloaks, antigravity devices, traversable wormholes, and a proposal to tunnel through the moon with nuclear explosives, according to dozens of documents obtained by Vice.com.
Yes… a nuclear device on the moon!
The documents include nearly 1,600 pages of reports, proposals, contracts and meeting notes…
Before Vice takes full credit, let’s give some where it is due: The AATIP was being reported on for weeks by the BLACK VAULT website..
Back to the documents!
They reveal some of the stranger priorities of AATIP – a secretive Department of Defense program that ran from 2007 to 2012…
(Folks. this is modern times and now the roaring Reagan years that Stranger Things is based off of)
(PS, we already know there was some real life weirdness that inspired Stranger Things too)
You can read the full treasure trove of documents published here..
There was a correction to VICE for the record, as they printed in their article:
Jeremy Corbell, a UFO filmmaker, pointed out that George Knapp was the first person to publish a list of 37 of these areas of study, in July 2018. Knapp obtained it, he reported, from physicist Hal Puthoff, who previously worked for BAASS. The DIA formally released the full 38-item list in 2019 in response to Aftergood’s FOIA.)
he trickle is getting faster.. but…
John Greenewald at the amazing Black Vault website learned that the Barack Obama Presidential Library is in possession of thousands of pages of materials, although those could take years to be released.

The strange tales of Adrian Reister
Adrian Reister said that he had strange encounters including a meeting with a 6 foot shadow person ..
The former USAF nuclear weapons technician Adrian Reister described seeing glowing ‘orbs’ hovering around the high-security Missouri base – and coming face-to-face with a ‘shadow person’..
Somewhere in the Skies on YouTube did an interview with him..
The Youtube live with Somewhere in the Skies delved into UAP incidents but also the Reister claims that he saw the shadow person.
Reister said it occurred sometime in the spring of 2006.. He was “just a kid,” he joked..
Reister said he heard a strange noise of footsteps, somewhat like the sound of wet feet walking on concrete near a pool. As the noise got louder, he came eye to shadow.. it was 6 feet tall and opaque in color..
This all took place in a locked room that had tamper proof sealing, his recollection went..
According to the account, Reister even chased the being through the facility and it vanished..
His sudden public testimony has been welcomed by UAP and paranormal observers..
Concerning what took so long:
Adrian, who received medals for outstanding service, feared top brass would revoke his clearance and “put a target on his back” if he said anything about the strange encounters.

V-shaped UFO flies above Airbus A230 passenger jet in video filmed from plane’s cockpit
The aircraft was said to have been flying over Georgia when the baffled staff member saw the spectacular display in the skies.
In the video – shot on an iPhone 13 Pro Max – the dark airspace was illuminated by an array of glowing lights.
The flight attendant explained he began trying to “take a video of another aircraft flying just above us opposite direction at 40,000 ft” when he noticed the unusual object.

Is there a need for the United States military to do a rapid response to UFO sightings?
Teams of Pentagon and intelligence community experts would rapidly respond to military UFO sightings and conduct field investigations under newly unveiled defense legislation set to pass Congress.
More

The bill requires all of the findings to be collected under a new joint UAP office and delivered to Congress in annual reports and biannual briefings to defense committees, marking the most significant UFO legislation ever passed in the U.S. following high-profile encounters with unknown objects reported by the Navy.

“Its abilities were pretty incredible” — FAA audio points to confusion during and after police helicopter’s encounter with strange aircraft.
This is a good must read from THE DRIVE about a mystery in Tuscon.. BRETT TINGLEY AND MARC CECOTTI write:
On February 9, 2021, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) helicopter encountered what was described as a “highly modified drone” hovering in controlled airspace above Tucson, Arizona. A Tucson Police Department (TPD) helicopter was called in to aid the CBP aircraft in its pursuit of the small aircraft, but the drone, or whatever it was, was able to outrun both of them as it flew through military airspace, deftly maneuvered around both helicopters with bizarre agility, and ultimately disappeared into cloud cover above the altitude the helicopters could safely fly. A police report previously obtained by The War Zone showed that the TPD crew described the drone as “very sophisticated/specialized” and “able to perform like no other UAS” they had previously encountered.
Now we have the actual audio from the CBP helicopter’s interactions with air traffic controllers in Tucson during the incident, as well as audio from an after-action call between the TPD crew and the air traffic control tower. From the conversations heard on the recordings, which The War Zone obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), it’s clear that all parties involved with the incident were baffled by the drone’s performance, noting that it appeared “super sophisticated” and possibly satellite-controlled. If you haven’t yet caught up on the Tucson mystery drone saga, be sure to read our most recent reporting.
MORE..
In the air traffic control (ATC) recording of the 70-minute long incident, the CBP helicopter crew member can be heard describing the drone as a “dim flashing light,” and also notes that he cannot track it while wearing night-vision goggles. In the call, the helicopter crew repeatedly identifies the drone’s location as directly above Davis-Monthan Air Force Base or the fuel tanks just west of the base. The crew can also be heard wondering what the unmanned air vehicle’s (UAV) size might be, repeatedly stating that its high speed and impressive maneuverability made it difficult to get a decent visual identification.
YOU CAN REVIEW THE CALL HERE, NOW REVEALED:
THIS NEXT YOUTUBE UPLOAD FROM THE DRIVE IS BETWEEN Tucson Tower and TPD Air Support Call
Reviewing the commentary on the THE DRIVE article, this particular comment is incisive:
A few points as I hear it play out.
- I have hard time believing it is LOS controlled as the guys in the 2 copters have a hard time seeing it even when they are just 100’s of feet away. Especially as it climbs to over 12K in height and moves miles in multiple directions. Maybe some type of radar controlled but the more complicated the control, the more equipment which means greater weight which means less performance. I have a very hard time believe sat control in real time due to latency, BW, and some of the issues mentioned previously.
- If that thing is battery powered the pack would be putting off a huge amount of heat after exerting the amount of energy needed to drive it to 12K feet while flying rings around the copters. If it was powered by some form of propellant you would easily see the exhaust.
- I agree, with one of the pilots, not your Radio Shack drone lol.
- The constant climbing circular orbit implies to me some form of copter type design unless it is a tick toc like device. The initial report was quad copter and am thinking that could be accurate even though the performance says otherwise.
- Would love to know who the controller keeps calling to give updates.
- The darting all around comment at 37:45ish is telling. He certainly is not failing as the copter pilot hopes.
- 65 knots west bound is clearly not a balloon so you can knock that off the list

Passenger and military jets both report seeing UFO over Canada
On the night of July 30, a Canadian military and a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight reported a UFO over the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
According to an aviation incident report posted on the night of Aug. 11, both flights “reported seeing a bright green flying object” that “flew into a cloud, then disappeared” in a stretch of open water between Quebec and Newfoundland.
Few other details were made available in the report, which appeared in CADORS, the Canadian government’s flight incident archive.
The summer of UFOs continue.. Much less bang and much more whimper.. but sightings continue in the strange dark skies..
“In this particular incident, there is nothing to indicate that what the crew saw posed any kind of safety risk to the aircraft,” they added. “We believe that they saw something—they would not have filed a report otherwise.”
A spokesperson from Nav Canada, the private company that operates Canada’s air traffic control system and whose employees would have received the initial reports, told VICE World News that “there is no additional Nav Canada information available for these events.”

Q is suddenly questioning UFO disclosure according to media
This seems to be a diversion..
QAnon Crowd Convinced UFOs Are a Diversion From Voter Fraud
According to this report, QAnan believers think that the UFO reporting is simply a diversion from voter fraud..
There are a number of layers to unpack here..
First off the layer where there may actually NOT be disclosure.. Sure, Congress is going to find out but will we? Will the same reporting be declassified for all earthlings as much as the Congressman and Senators in D.C.?
Further, if QAnan actually DOES believe this, it shows their loyalty for Donald Trump. This all despite the fact that this entire disclosure notion happened with the help of Trump himself when he signed the COVID relief bill!
Ufologist Steven Greer, for example, has claimed that other UFO promoters were assassinated by intelligence agents to prevent them from telling the truth about UFOs. But with the prospect of some genuine disclosures in the offing, Greer has decided that whatever comes from the government now is in fact a trick meant to hide the genuine facts about UFOs.
“This is the ramping up of the false disclosure that we warned about,” Greer warned his fans in a YouTube video last week, claiming that the UFOs were wrongly being portrayed as a “national security threat.”
Sather and other QAnon conspiracy theorists who have promoted UFOs are challenged by the prospect of more widespread UFO interest, according to Travis View, the co-host of QAnon-tracking podcast “QAnon Anonymous.”
“QAnon promoters gain an audience by claiming that they have access to information that the mainstream media doesn’t,” View told The Daily Beast. “When major outlets report on their pet topic, such as UFOs, it’s actually damaging to their brand because their audience has been trained to distrust everything that comes from the mainstream media.”

UPDATE: FBI WON’T TALK ABOUT UFO SEEN BY PILOT
‘UFO’ MYSTERY AS AMERICAN AIRLINES DOESN’T DENY SPOTTING & SAYS TALK TO FBI →
“I hate to say this but it looked like a long cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise missile type of thing moving really fast. It went right over the top of us.”
Speaking to Fox News in a statement American Airlines verified the transmission is from flight 2292 – but said the channel should “contact the FBI” for additional information.
The US Sun has also contacted the FBI for further comment.
“Following a debrief with our Flight Crew and additional information received, we can confirm this radio transmission was from American Airlines Flight 2292 on Feb. 21,” an American Airlines spokesperson told Fox News in a statement…
FBI ‘AWARE OF’ AMERICAN AIRLINES POSSIBLE UFO SPOTTING BUT STOPS SHORT OF CONFIRMING INVESTIGATION →
The FBI is “aware of” an American Airlines pilot’s report of an apparent UFO seen soaring over Northeast New Mexico earlier this week – but stopped short of confirming whether an investigation is underway..
This is probably a future FBI document to be released decades from now in the making..
From FOX NEWS:
“The FBI is aware of the reported incident,” spokesperson Frank Connor wrote in an email. “While our policy is to neither confirm nor deny investigations, the FBI works continuously with our federal, state, local, and tribal partners to share intelligence and protect the public. Anyone who is aware of suspicious or criminal activity should contact their local law enforcement agency or the FBI.“
In Sunday’s radio transmission, the American Airlines pilot could first be heard asking an unidentified person, presumably from air-traffic control, if they had “any targets up here.”
This portends to be a story 30 years or 40 years from now that will show up in a released document on the FBI vault website. If the internet still exists..
