UFOs, UAPs, Pentagon leaks and science that can ‘influence decision makers’

However, that all changed in 2017 with leaked military videos of strange craft operating in incredible ways, and the revelation that the Pentagon was spending millions studying the issue.

In July, David Grusch, the intelligence officer who handled the weekly briefings for the US President, claimed the existence of a UFO crash retrieval programme under oath.

He was joined by Air Force pilots who described detailed encounters with these high velocity objects.

On top of that, legislation is currently going through the US Senate which, if passed, will reveal any discovered non-human intelligent technology to the public over a period of 25 years.

That legislation refers to non-human intelligence over 20 times and was signed off by the Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer.

Six years ago, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), an unclassified effort by the United States Government to study unidentified flying objects was made public.

NASA has recently redubbed UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon or UAPs.

For the rest of this article, UAPs will predominantly be referred to as ‘craft.’

A number of slides were leaked from an AATIP presentation to senior US Defence officials.

Below is slide 9:

Slide 9 documents how the US military considers these craft as threats. The slide refers to the craft as an "enemy" and makes references to the fact that the US has facilities where activities have been detected.

The craft are listed as being able to manipulate physical environments. This is understood to be a reference to military pilots who have reported radar being affected in their presence.

It also states an ability to manipulate "cognitive environments.” The capacity to penetrate solid surfaces is also referred to.

The science involved reportedly is able to "influence decision makers" - taken at face value, this indicates certain devices can control human resolve.

The final sentence on AATIP slide 9 says: “What was considered phenomena is now quantum physics.”

Quantum physics theory allows for particles to be in two states at the same time, indicating military believe some of these craft are inter-dimensional, as stated to Congress by former National Geospace Intelligence lead analyst, David Grusch, in July.

Some more of the leaked slide deck, unredacted:

Below is a document written on behalf of President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, which states that “UAP have been puzzling humankind for as long as we have known.”

The next document was written to Irish researcher Chris Gaffney, by former Chairman of the European Union Military Committee, Claudiano Graziano.

The Italian military leader states that “UAP are critical events that could threaten aerial security in Europe.”

The following is a selection of imagery from a previously classified UFO report by the UK Ministry of Defence, created in 2006 and archived in 2012, titled ‘UAP in the UK Air Defence Region.’

The Executive Summary offers natural explanations for many sightings before revealing studies carried out by the Russian authorities into UFO activity in “abnormal zones” and “landing places.”

“A laboratory to support this work is reportedly located at Akhtubisk on the Volga,” the report states, followed by many images of distinct looking craft:

In order to make sense of this, it may be necessary to remember the Melanesian Islanders during World War II.

They were a small population of indigenous people who observed a war fought by technologically advanced nations.

The Japanese distributed goods and used the beliefs of the Melanesians to gain their compliance. Then the Americans arrived on their island.

The equipment airdropped to troops meant drastic changes to the lifestyle of the islanders, who began worshipping items with the word ‘Navy’ written on them.

The islanders were ultimately referred to as a ‘cargo cult.’

Tom DeLonge, founder of To the Stars Academy of Arts and Sciences, helped bring about the Congressional hearing in July.

He has indicated his belief human history may, in effect, be a ‘cargo cult’, on a broad scale.

AATIP Director Lue Elizondo, has stated that humans may “not be top of the food chain,” whilst Mr DeLonge has further indicated non-human intelligences may revel in observing humans as we kill each other.

Indeed, many UAP have been reported over war zones. The University of Kiev recently released a detailed study into sightings over Ukraine, titled ‘Unidentified aerial phenomena II. Evaluation of UAP properties,’ commissioned by NASA.

"The way that quantum physics works and the way we navigate reality within that framework…it’s going to make us look at ourselves as mankind living in perpetual states of war,” Mr DeLonge said earlier this month.

"It highlights why it’s so important to change the way you think and the way you feel on a daily basis because reality is formed from it. We’re not reacting to reality, we’re literally creating reality.

"The government has a big weight on their shoulders with this subject, their point of view is to avoid chaos and create order out of something they can’t control.”

"If you don’t have the right thoughts to create your own physical reality, something else will come in and try to create the reality for you,” DeLonge told Decider magazine.

It is possible quantum physics will provide answers in the forthcoming years.

Einstein spoke similarly when he said: “Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency to the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality.

"It can be no other way. This is not philosophy, this is physics.”

As it stands, evidence to back up both Elizondo and DeLonge’s statements appears to make sense when considered in light of certain aspects of UAP observations.

(Although it must be remembered that military sources would view most things through the prism of a ‘threat.’)

Nonetheless, it may prove true that humanity has been dealing with both good and bad, non human intelligences since the beginning of recorded history.

‘Angels’ and ‘demons’, we didn’t know how to describe.

If a ‘dogfight’ scenario was proven true, with humans butchering each other whilst “others” watch on, we would need to rectify the situation.

If Einstein is proven right by quantum physics, we would need to act on the words of Liverpool singer, John Lennon who urged us to "Imagine all the people. Living life in peace” alongside political dialogue, to break the cycle of war.
