As I reported yesterday summer has come to Dunwich and right on cue the media \u201csilly season\u201d erupts into life<\/a>.\u00a0 That\u2019s right UFOs are back in the headlines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe House Intelligence Committee will hold the first open hearing on UFOs in more than 50 years.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

With apologies to the author of this article and in sympathy with all of my fellow science fiction devotees having the US Congress investigate UFOs is fraught with existential peril.\u00a0 Imagining Nancy Pelosi presiding over a debate as to whether evidence of hypersonic maneuverability is terrestrial or extra-terrestrial without her invoking either Steven Spielberg or George Lucas seems impossible.\u00a0 Maybe there are a half dozen congress critters with enough intelligence to weigh the kind of evidence that the Defense Department, the Intelligence Agencies and the Space Force will bring to the table but they will be drowned out by barnyard noises emanating from the majority of the denizens of the House of Representatives.\u00a0 Imagine AOC and the rest of the \u201cSquad\u201d jumping to the defense of the little green men based on their evidence from the movie, \u201cE.T., The Extraterrestrial\u201d that government intent toward aliens is racist (or at least species-ist if I may coin the term).<\/p>\n

The author finishes off this article with a demand for Washington to come clean on all their secret knowledge about UFOs.<\/p>\n

\u201cTop line: We don’t know what the most extraordinary “other” bin UFOs are, who or what is operating them, what their intentions might be, or how they operate. Maybe they are many different things with many different origins and intentions. Regardless, science demands we find out. This is no longer the early Cold War. The public can handle this subject with the seriousness it deserves. So also does our national security demand as much. Again, if another nation figures out how to replicate the way these most extraordinary UFOs operate before the U.S. does, we’ll have a problem.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, we can\u2019t even get the FBI and the courts to stop arresting Americans for trumped up charges of insurrection.\u00a0 If the government actually had proof of extra-terrestrial life and technologies what are the chances that the CIA and the Defense Department would tell us the truth?\u00a0 Slim and none would be the optimistic answer.<\/p>\n

Luckily we can fall back on a very important source of information on UFO research.\u00a0 I leave it for your consideration<\/p>\n
