ARE UFO’S COMING FROM UNDER THE OCEAN?

Gary Heseltine, the vice president of the new International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research, told The Sun that recent videos showing encounters between the US Navy and UFOs along with a Pentagon investigation are game changers that pave the way to finally explain the unexplained.

“UFOs are often seen coming in and out of water so suspect that in our deepest oceans and trenches we may well have alien bases.”

“That sounds crazy but if you think about it we only know 5 per cent of ocean, we know more about the surface of the moon or Mars than our own oceans – so that would seem to me why UFOs are seen regularly coming in and out of water.”

WHAT IS PROJECT BLUE BOOK?

US intelligence services officially closed the book on the phenomena in 1969 at the conclusion Project Blue Book – which stated there was nothing to see regarding UFOs.

However, in the last three years there has been an abrupt turnaround as the Pentagon took the unprecedented step of releasing three stunning UFO videos filmed by the US Navy.

ARE UFO’S HYPERSONIC WEAPONS?

Dr David Clarke, the curator for the National Archives of UFO projects in the UK, claimed the current boom in interest in UFOs could be used to cover up hypersonic weapons created by the US, Russia and China.

He told The Daily Star: “If you are military intelligence, what better way of covering up this secret war that’s been going on – the new Cold War – which is effectively what it is, than have everyone going on the false trace looking for aliens?

“Because no one asks real questions, no one takes it seriously.”

THEORIES ABOUND TO EXPLAIN UFO SIGHTINGS

Competing theories on the strange videos continue to rage – with some grounded on Earth claiming the videos capture never-before-seen military aircraft or drones, while others claim it shows otherworldly craft possibly piloted by aliens.

Others however are more skeptical and sometimes even dismissive, claiming the bizarre videos may just be camera tricks, natural phenomena or even outright hoaxes.

US CONFIRMED EXISTENCE OF UFO PROGRAM

The US confirmed the existence of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) – a Pentagon program set up to study UFOs before being disbanded in 2017.

However, it was replaced by the UAP Task Force in June 2020 after a vote by the US Senate Intelligence Committee.

Defense chiefs have since confirmed a number of leaked UFO videos and photos which were submitted to the Task Force for investigation.

WHAT IS ICER?

The newly formed International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research (ICER) is made up of UFO researchers and scientist from 27 countries.

UFOs – now more commonly referred to in scientific and intelligence circles as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) – have stepped from being fringe conspiracy theories to a genuine security concern.

And with eager UFO enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the US report compiled by the US Congress, ICER was formed to highlight the global implications that these UFOs could be “non-human intelligence”.

NASA CHIEF COMMENTS ON UFO SIGHTINGS

NASA chief Bill Nelson told CNN: “I have talked to these navy pilots and they are sure they saw something real, and of course we have seen the videos from their jets.”

The Florida Democrat added: “What is it? We don’t know. Now I am hear at NASA I have turned to our scientists and said would you – looking at from a scientific standpoint – see if you can determine so we can have a better idea.

“We don’t know if its extraterrestrial, we don’t if its an enemy, we don’t know if its an optical phenomenon – but we don’t think so because of the characteristics those navy jet pilots described as they saw it move around.

“The bottom line is – we want to know, and that’s what we are trying to do.”

REPORT COULD REVEAL INTELLIGENCE FAILINGS

The US Senate Intelligence Committee has asked the Director of National Intelligence to work with the Defense Department to provide a report by June 25 on unexplained sightings by the military.

Luis Elizondo, who led the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program between 2007 and 2012, warned the report could reveal the greatest intelligence failings since 9/11.

Footage appears to show an extraterrestrial object buzzing the Navy ship USS Omaha in July 2019 as personnel tracked it with a targeting camera.

WHEN WILL THE UNCLASSIFIED UFO REPORT BE RELEASED?

US intelligence agencies will present the unclassified UAP report to Congress on June 29, within the 180-day deadline laid out legislation in effect from January 1.

The memo is being prepared by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the UAP Task Force, which was established last September to probe military encounters with UAPs.

The report will also deal with data collected by highly sensitive sensors the US Army use and the source emphasized that it would be “data-driven” to better identify what exactly these objects are.

UFO REPORT WILL CONTAIN ‘CLASSIFIED ANNEX’

The final UFO report will still include one classified annex, according to the Times.

Officials said that the annex will not contain any evidence of alien activity, but the fact that it must remain classified will likely fuel increased speculation.

The classified annex will not be available for the public and media to read.

MARCO RUBIO CALLS FOR UFO INVESTIGATION

On Thursday, a spokesperson for Republican senator Marco Rubio told The Sun that he believes the report is just the first step in the investigation into mysterious flying objects, dubbed Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAPs).

“Men and women we have entrusted with the defense of our country are reporting encounters with unidentified aircraft with superior capabilities,” Rubio said in a statement.

“We cannot allow the stigma of UFOs to keep us from seriously investigating this. The forthcoming report is one step in that process, but it will not be the last.”

ARE UFO SIGHTINGS RUSSIAN TECH TESTING?

Skeptics within the UFO community think the aerial phenomena could’ve been sent by Russia or China amid fears that Moscow may have ramped up their testing of hypersonic technology.

Officials fear the US will be lagging behind its rivals as hypersonic missiles can travel about 4,000 miles per hour – making them almost impossible to intercept, MailOnline reports.

NASA WILL INVESTIGATE UFO’S

NASA space chief Bill Nelson admitted the agency is probing the phenomena after a string of strange encounters between unusual objects and the US military pilots.

US intelligence officials have been ordered to compile a dossier on UFOs for Congress after a flurry of videos filmed by US Navy and Air Force personnel were leaked – and the report is due for release this month.

The dossier reportedly will say the Pentagon cannot explain some 120 sightings made by US Navy personnel over the past two decades – but it will conclude they are not known tech.

UFO EXPERT CITES CORRELATION BETWEEN UFO’S AND NUCLEAR POWER

Gary Heseltine, the vice president of the new International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research (ICER), told The Sun Online there is a common correlation between UFO sightings and the world’s nuclear capabilities – and said the strange encounters could be an attempt to send humanity a message.

“There is a massive correlation between UFOs being seen near nuclear facilities, whether it’s nuclear aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, nuclear weapon storage areas, power plants,” Mr Heseltine said.

“This would seem to indicate that it’s as if they’re saying ‘we don’t like nuclear weapons’ so they show up. 

“Maybe they realise we could destroy this beautiful planet.”

EXPERT SAYS INVESTIGATIONS INTO UFOs NEED TO BE RAMPED UP

The world must ramp up its investigations into UFOs as the Pentagon’s “disturbing” report appears unable to rule out that foreign hypersonic technology could be behind the sightings, an expert claims. 

Intelligence officials cannot explain what dozens of reported sightings are but have appeared to rule out that the vast majority were not American military or other government technology.

The report is likely to conclude that the sightings do not show evidence of alien spacecraft, according to the New York Times.

Skeptics within the UFO community think the aerial phenomena could’ve been sent by Russia or China amid fears that Moscow may have ramped up their testing of hypersonic technology.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE WAS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A REPORT ABOUT AERIAL PHENOMENA

In December 2020, legislation passed by Congress required the Department of Defense and the National Intelligence Director to produce a report about “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” within six months.

The request came after revelations in 2017 that the Pentagon was researching a series of unexplained intrusions into military airspace, including mysterious objects captured on video stalking US Navy ships.

Steve Bassett, the executive director of the Paradigm Research Group, previously told The Sun the release of information about extra-terrestrial encounters may be the “most profound” moment in the history of mankind.

MYSTERIOUS FLYING OBJECTS WAS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED

Over recent months, several clips of classified Navy footage have been released that show mysterious flying objects hovering around military ships.

Most recently, footage emerged that showed a UFO buzzing around a US stealth ship near San Diego in 2004.

Commander Dave Fravor and Lt. Commander Alex Dietrich recalled the moment they saw an “unsettling” UFO that looked like a “Tic-Tac”.

The pilots were training with a strike group flying over the Pacific Ocean when they saw the strange object.

And, an unusual orb was also caught stalking the USS Omaha in July 2019

WHAT DOES BARACK OBAMA THINK OF UFOs?

Barack Obama spoke about UFOs on The Late Late Show With James Corden last month.

He said: “What is true, and I’m actually being serious here, is that there is footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are.”

The former president said that “new religions would pop up” if alien life was confirmed.

PREVIOUS UFOS SPOTTED CONTAINS ADVANCED TECH

Retired US Navy Chief Master-at-Arms, Sean Cahil, recently warned that the UFOs spotted likely possess technology that the US could not defend itself against.

He told CNN: “The technology that we witnessed with the Tic-Tac was something we would not have been able to defend our forces against at the time.

An unclassified version of the findings is set to be released to Congress by June 25.

The report is expected to contain everything the Government knows about “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena”.

It will examine if UAPs constitute a threat to US airspace, according to  Deadline.

It’s expected that recommendations for further UFO research and funding will be included within the dossier.

SENATOR SAYS THE UFO REPORT SHOULD BE INITIAL EFFORT TO LOOK INTO FLYING OBJECTS

Senator Marco Rubio said the government report should be only the beginning of the US effort to look into mysterious flying objects.

He said: “Men and women we have entrusted with the defense of our country are reporting encounters with unidentified aircraft with superior capabilities.

“We cannot allow the stigma of UFOs to keep us from seriously investigating this. The forthcoming report is one step in that process, but it will not be the last.”

A “NEW” COLD WAR IS UNDERWAY, CONSULTANT SAYS

Dr. David Clarke, who was a consultant for the release of the MOD’s UFO files at the National Archives between 2008-13, says a “new” Cold War is already underway.

He told The Sun: “They [hypersonic drones and unmanned aerial vehicles] are exactly what a lot of these things that can’t be explained clearly are.

“There’s a new Cold War being fought undercover that’s not receiving a lot of attention. The Chinese and Russians and Americans have developed some incredible technology – almost sort of science-fiction-like.

“We’re not talking about the fighter jets that used to dominate everything in the Cold War. The new Cold War is unmanned aerial vehicles.”

UFO REPORT DESCRIBED AS “INTRIGUING”

Nick Pope, a former official at the Ministry of Defence, branded the report’s leaked conclusions “intriguing and disturbing”.

He told The Sun: “The possibility that some of what’s been going on might be attributable to Russia or China is disturbing.”

“[The] US and British spy chiefs need to step up their efforts to assess the current level of technology these nations possess when it comes to aircraft, missiles, and drones – particularly with regard to hypersonic technology,” Pope added.

SIGHTINGS DON’T SHOW EVIDENCE OF ALIEN SPACECRAFT

Intelligence officials cannot explain what dozens of reported sightings are but have appeared to rule out that the vast majority were not American military or other government technology.

The report is likely to conclude that the sightings do not show evidence of alien spacecraft, according to the New York Times.

Skeptics within the UFO community think the aerial phenomena could’ve been sent by Russia or China amid fears that Moscow may have ramped up their testing of hypersonic technology.

Officials fear the US will be lagging behind its rivals as hypersonic missiles can travel about 4,000 miles per hour – making them almost impossible to intercept, MailOnline reports.

WHAT IS THE ‘TIC-TAC’ VIDEO?

The Tic-Tac UFO video shows an unidentified object being pursued by fighter planes.

And, numerous San Diego-based US warships were reportedly visited by strange vessels from above.

The USS Kidd, a Navy destroyer, was using night vision cameras and spotted several mysterious flashing objects in the skies, according to footage the Pentagon revealed to The Sun.

OBAMA SAYS UFO SIGHTINGS COULD SPARK ‘NEW RELIGIONS’

Obama was questioned about whether he believes undeniable proof of aliens would change his politics during a podcast interview with The Ezra Klein show this week.

“New religions would pop up,” the former president said should alien life be confirmed.

“But no doubt there would be immediate arguments about like, well, we need to spend a lot more money on weapons systems to defend ourselves.

“And who knows what kind of arguments we get into,” the former president added.

“We’re good at manufacturing arguments for each other.”
