DOD has captured alien craft? Bombshell report from congressional whistleblower alleges decades-long cover-up



Congressional lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee held a joint subcommittee hearing Wednesday to discuss alleged secret government investigations into UFOs — now called unidentified anomalous phenomena — and the knowledge obtained from the inquiry.

During the hearing, Michael Shellenberger, a publisher of the Twitter Files and co-founder of the "Public" newsletter on Substack, shared some shocking claims from a government whistleblower about an alleged special access program at the Defense Department called "Immaculate Constellation. "

Shellenberger noted in his written testimony that existing and former government officials have notified members of Congress that notwithstanding suggestions to the contrary, the Pentagon has kept a "significant body of information about UAPs, including military intelligence databases that have evidence of their existence as physical craft," under wraps.

One unnamed whistleblower submitted a report to Congress through the UAP whistleblower mechanisms established by the fiscal year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, detailing the nature of the alleged Immaculate Constellation project.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) published that report this week.

Shellenberger acknowledged that DOD spokesperson Susan Gough indicated last month the "Department of Defense has no record, present or historical" of Immaculate Constellation.

However, the journalist said that a source subsequently notified him that Immaculate Constellation, apparently created after the New York Times reported in 2017 on a similar program called the Advance Aerospace Threat Identification Program, is "controlled by the White House and executed and administered by the DOD to avoid compliance with Title 10 of the United States Code."

A former intelligence community official reportedly told Shellenberger's Public that Immaculate Constellation "is run out of SEC DEF," adding, "They don't want to acknowledge it's real."

'The F-22 pilot noted multiple metallic orbs — slightly smaller than a sedan — hovering in place.'

The whistleblower report alleges at the outset that "elements of the U.S. Executive Branch have conspired to prevent the U.S. Legislative Branch from exercising its lawful powers of governance with respect to the UAP, [Technologies of Unknown Origin], and [Non-Human Intelligence] issues."

While the allegation of a criminal conspiracy might itself be newsworthy, what is more interesting is the conclusion drawn in the report:

The official disclosure of the existence of Non-Human Intelligences (NHIs) and their presence on Earth is a pivotal moment in human history. The nature of this information is of such incomparable relevance to the public good that it demands to be shared. Some may object and say that disclosure at this time poses too many risks. To them it must be said that we will never be able to predict how individuals, families, communities, and nations will react to revelations of such magnitude. Moving forward, we must guard against the lure of authoritarian solution justified by expediency and appeals to national security. The Good in humanity will always triumph through time, and it is in moments of crisis that our capacities for achieving the extraordinary are discovered. Be not afraid.

According to the whistleblower, who Shellenberger has indicated "discovered this material accidentally," Immaculate Constellation collects high-quality imagery intelligence on UAPs in low earth orbit, the upper atmosphere, maritime environments, and at military aviation altitude and "acts as a nexus for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating intelligence on the activities, capabilities, and locations of anomalous aerospace threats that originate from foreign or unidentified sources."

The report details multiple alleged UFO sightings, some of which were apparently captured by high-powered sensors and others that were documented by military personnel.

There is, for instance, allegedly infrared and full-motion video daytime footage of roughly 12 "metallic orbs skimming the ocean surface at high speed before dispersing in multiple directions" and maneuvering with rapidity and agility "incompatible with known aerospace vehicles."

The metallic orbs apparently flew in a tight "cuboid" formation, creating the illusion of a cube at a distance. The sensor platform reportedly lost sight of most of the UAPs when they ascended and accelerated.

UAPs reported from 1991 to 2022 in one alleged Immaculate Constellation dataset varied in shape and size and included spheres, saucers, ovals, arrowheads, and irregular or organic shapes. The report catalogues various descriptions and properties recorded for each of the various vehicle types.

The whistleblower indicated that Immaculate Constellation also has plenty of intelligence obtained from human sources as well. One account highlighted in the report claims that metallic orbs intercepted an F-22 fighter jet that was conducting a routine surveillance and control mission.

"An F-22 fighter observed multiple UAP contacts at mission-altitude," said the report. "Moving to intercept, the F-22 pilot noted multiple metallic orbs — slightly smaller than a sedan — hovering in place. Upon vectoring towards the UAPs, a smaller formation of the metallic orbs accelerated at rapid speed towards the F-22, which was unable to establish radar locks on the presumed-hostile UAPs."

The report noted that when the fighter jet attempted to flee, it was "intercepted and boxed in by approximately 3-6 UAPs. One UAP maneuvered in proximity (>12 meters) to the area directly starboard of the cockpit; there the UAP established a rigid spatial relationship with the F-22, maintaining its exact position and orientation parallel with the F-22's cockpit despite multiple evasive rolls and maneuvers."

Ultimately, the orbs reportedly escorted the fighter jet out of the mission area.

According to the whistleblower report, other countries are aware of UAP events and take them deadly seriously, especially since the unidentified objects have an apparent tendency to fly over sensitive military and intelligence facilities.

Earlier this year, the DOD's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office released a report claiming no governmental evidence of extraterrestrial technology.

"All investigative efforts, at all levels of classification, concluded that most sightings were ordinary objects and phenomena and the result of misidentification," said the report. "Although not the focus of this report, it is worthwhile to note that all official foreign UAP investigatory efforts to date have reached the same general conclusions as USG investigations."

The AARO report noted, "Although many UAP reports remain unsolved or unidentified, AARO assesses that if more and better quality data were available, most of these cases also could be identified and resolved as ordinary objects or phenomena."

Shellenberger said that the American government "appears to know significantly more about UAPs than it is revealing. But even those who believe the U.S. government has revealed all that it knows should have no objection to congressional demands for greater transparency."

Mace emphasized, "The American people have every right to know what is really happening."

A signal from outer space has finally been decoded. What does it mean?



A signal picked up by three observatories in 2023 has finally been decoded. The message left scientific teams with more questions than answers.

In May 2023, observatories captured a signal containing an alien-like message, and the raw data was uploaded to the internet for all to comb through.

Ken Chaffin and his daughter Keli obtained the data and worked on decoding the message. While Keli said she initially had no plans to join the effort, she quickly became mesmerized once she realized its scope.

The duo then worked for nearly a year, reportedly spending thousands of hours experimenting with various ideas and math simulations to figure it out. They uncovered a visualization of what appears to be five amino acids, but it is unclear what they represent. The visual is only displayed for about one-tenth of a second, but outlets have presented it as a video on loop, which may have caused some confusion.

"The original image that looks like a star map has always given me the appearance of biological life-forms," Keli Chaffin said in an email to CNN. "[A] lot of members have seen a mouse, a starfish, or an elephant."

Despite the message coming from outer space and being described by outlets as alien-like, it certainly originated from mankind.

The signal came from the SETI Institute in California, which, in 2023, decided to simulate the scenario of receiving a coded message from aliens or an unknown source in space. The signal was realistically sent from Mars to Earth by the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, a satellite that measures methane and atmospheric gases around Mars.

The message traveled through space for a reported 16 minutes before being captured by the Allen Telescope Array in Northern California, the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, and the Medicina Radio Astronomical Station near Bologna, Italy.

The raw data had to be extracted from a purposeful entanglement of other data from the Mars spacecraft, and it took about 10 days to download and convert it into a visual format.

'I had no idea what the message would show or say.'

"I knew I had the skills to decode the message," Ken Chaffin said, stating that he has decades of work with the cellular automata computation model.

Cellular automata is a grid of cells in a checkerboard pattern that can show any number of patterns depending on which cells are "on" or "off." Depending on the grid's rules, it can depict static patterns, repeating patterns, or patterns that appear to be moving across the grid.

The Chaffins ran what they saw on the "star map" as cellular automata simulations and eventually generated the image of the amino acids.

"I had no idea what the message would show or say," Ken Chaffin added. "I suspected that it might have something to do with life."

He said it became clear once he saw the image that it was amino acids, recognizing them from chemistry class.

Chaffin has theorized that the message could represent hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen being transported through space to later be assembled into a life; a very interesting message were it actually from nonhumans.

Liberal media conflates murderers with migrants in desperate effort to smear Trump



The liberal media helped set the stage for two assassination attempts against President Donald Trump, advancing false narratives and alarmist rhetoric. Various publications have doubled down in recent weeks, characterizing Kamala Harris' opponent as the embodiment of evil but, more specifically, as the second coming of Adolf Hitler.

NBC News, the Washington Post, and other Democratic-boosting publications dutifully did their part Monday, suggesting that Trump outed himself as a racist and a eugenicist — perhaps of the Planned Parenthood varietyin conversation with radio host Hugh Hewitt earlier in the day.

Of course, this latest false narrative relies upon both a willful misinterpretation of Trump's remarks as well as their de-contextualization.

Background

Patrick Lechleitner, deputy director of ICE, noted in a Sept. 25 letter to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) that as of July 21, 2024, "There were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE's national docket, which includes those detained by ICE, and on the agency's non-detained docket."

Lechleitner's letter further revealed that over 13,000 illegal aliens were living outside of ICE detention and that another 1,845 illegal aliens had pending homicide cases.

Trump has in recent days cited the figure as further evidence that the Biden-Harris administration's failure to secure the southern border has endangered Americans.

In conversation Monday with Hewitt, Trump criticized Kamala Harris, stressing that she is a "mentally deficient person," who cannot manage to do anything right. Harris' apparent deficit is all the more troubling, suggested Trump, because she seeks to manage virtually every aspect of Americans' lives.

"She wants to go into government housing. She wants to go into government feeding. She wants to feed people. She wants to feed people governmentally. She wants to go into a Communist Party-type of a system," said Trump. "When you look at the things that she proposes, they're so far off. She has no clue."

The Republican added:

How about allowing people to come through an open border — 13,000 of which were murderers. Many of them murdered far more than one person, and they're now happily living in the United States. You know, now, a murderer — I believe this — it's in their genes. And we've got a lot of bad genes in our country right now. They left — they had 425,000 people come into our country that shouldn't be here that are criminals.

Trump made no mention of race when speaking collectively of murderers.

After all, those pouring over the southern border under Harris' watch are racially diverse. Pew Research indicated the illegal alien population from nearly every region around the world grew under the Biden-Harris administration, such that even illegal aliens from Europe and Asia saw increased representation.

In the excerpt, Trump insinuated that murderers' violent disposition may be inherent (i.e., "it's in their genes") and that America suffers as a result of the presence of so many imported murderers.

Liberal press rushes to mislead

In its report of Trump's remarks, NBC News neglected to note that Trump was specifically referring to murderers in the country illegally. The publication also decided to conflate illegal aliens with immigrants more broadly, titling its piece, "Trump suggests immigrants have 'bad genes.'"

There was no mistaking the publication's intent as it made sure not only to parrot a Hitler accusation from the defunct Biden campaign but to suggest Trump was dabbling in "race science."

Rikki Ratliff-Fellman, director of programming at Blaze Media, responded, "THE ACTUAL QUOTE WAS: 'You know, now a murderer, I believe this, it's in their genes. And we've got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.' Per ICE: Over 13K illegal immigrants convicted of murder have been released into US. Where the HELL are your editors?!"

Blaze News senior editor Cortney Weil called out NBC News, writing, "Calling Trump a racist and implying that he's Hitler-adjacent. A completely new and original angle. Will likely impact his chances in November."

Brittany Hughes, managing editor at MRCTV, tweeted, "Trump said *murderers* have bad genes, and that Biden/Harris have allowed thousands of *murderers* into the country. Which is true. Lying @NBCNews is running the old 'murderers and rapists' hoax again."

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told NBC News, "He was clearly talking about MURDERERS — not migrants."

NBC News was not, however, alone in glossing over the intended and obvious meaning of Trump's remarks.

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post, a key media exponent of the Russian collusion hoax, appeared keen to outdo the absurdity of other liberal publications with an article titled "Trump finally just says that some immigrants are genetically inferior."

After torpedoing his own thesis by alluding to past Trump references to luck and genetics, which lacked racial connotations, Philip Bump claimed that Trump specifically suggested "non-White immigrants are genetically inferior."

Despite the diversity of the criminals flooding into the country, Bump presumed "racism" on Trump's part, then mounted a defense of illegal aliens stealing into the homeland.

The Washington Post has already walked back its original headline, such that Bump's misleading piece is now titled, "Saying immigrants bring 'bad genes' echoes Trump's history — and the world's."

That didn't stop another Post writer, Jennifer Rubin, from once again signaling her poor grounding in reality, then insinuating Trump should be silenced.

"This is fascism," wrote Rubin, who previously fumbled a hit piece against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. "Giving someone a platform for this is reprehensible."

Politico, a publication that recently beclowned itself trying to help Kamala Harris, suggested that Trump was arguing that "immigrants are predisposed to violence" — missing the fact that Trump explicitly suggested that murderers might share a gene in common.

The Huffington Post's Matt Shuham unsurprisingly joined the game, writing, "The xenophobic claim that immigrants are genetically predisposed to committing violent crimes is shocking and false — but xenophobia is also a cornerstone of Trump’s presidential campaign."

Are UFOs real or a government psyop? Either way, it's extremely alarming



Don't look up. We’re currently seeing a crescendo of stories centered around wild videos of unexplained craft and even stranger accounts from whistleblowers. It seems there is a build-up to something. Whether that’s acknowledging we’re being visited by beings from outside our solar system, our understanding of three-dimensional time and space, or merely a psyop serving as a distraction isn't entirely clear.

For the last 75 years, since UFOs entered the national zeitgeist, much of the discourse has taken place on the fringes. It was a fun group to dabble in. The appeal of seeking hidden knowledge is intoxicating while perusing r/UFOs for the best documentaries and strange theories, watching old "X-files" episodes, and reading about little green men and abductions. I wanted to believe! It was all very low-stakes, one more internet rabbit hole enmeshed in conspiracy theories to waste time.

When religion ebbs, the idea of no one in control is disconcerting, so we look for authority: aliens, the New World Order, Free Masons, etc., something to make sense of a world spiraling out of equilibrium.

However, the leaks and stories of the last seven years have taken on a decidedly more serious tenor precisely because of the serious people coming forward. It’s no longer the "Ancient Aliens"-level "researchers" who saw everything through a grand conspiratorial lens of off-world contact. And because of this, the entire world of UFOs has taken on a scarier tinge the more real it seems.

- YouTube youtu.be

McLuhan's ubiquitous saying about the medium being the message is analogous when discussing UFOs. So much of our conception of extraterrestrials is heavily colored by the last century of film. From Méliès’ 1902 "A Trip to the Moon" through 1950s B movies to the adorable "E.T.," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," and "Independence Day," we imagine the Hollywood visuals of these beings. It’s a perfect mimetic vector to discuss uniting humanity against a shared foe as Reagan once did. The entire point of TV, film, and now the internet is to flatten out world differences into one all-consuming and consumption-driven entity. The Borg — to steal a sci-fi trope — the monoculture, the global village, or whatever phrasing you’d prefer.

Are we just seeing lights in the sky and deciphering them through all the movies we’ve consumed? Why do the phenomena so closely mirror the appearance of UFOs in culture and humanity’s tentative steps into space? And how would governments possibly be able to keep something so earth-shattering under wraps?

Military officials go on record

When you dig into the history of UFOs, you find a variety of high-level government officials, astronauts, and pilots who have discussed their experiences. Paul Hellyer, the former defense minister of Canada, went on record in 2013 saying there has been contact with alien civilizations. He even went so far as to say there are treaties between these societies and governments on Earth.

In 2020, Haim Eshed, the former head of Israel's Defense Ministry's space directorate (essentially Israeli NASA), told the newspaper Yediot Aharonot, "There is an agreement between the U.S. government and the aliens. They signed a contract with us to do experiments here."

"The Unidentified Flying Objects have asked not to publish that they are here, humanity is not ready yet," he said. While this is a rather exceptional claim, it’s worth noting that Eshed is the father of the Israeli space program and still enjoys a tremendous level of respect in the Israeli defense establishment.

This doesn’t prove anything, but when sober and respected officials who would know about these encounters, as well as numerous astronauts, including Edgar Mitchell, go on record, it’s much harder to dismiss than some rando who says he saw something strange in the sky.

Tic Tac flying saucers in the TikTok age

The current moment of disclosure mania can be traced directly to 2017, when Com. David Fravor and other Navy pilots came forward to the New York Times with an encounter they experienced. What was different from earlier UFO stories were the videos recorded from their aircraft along with radar data showing strange Tic Tac-shaped ships doing maneuvers seemingly beyond the laws of physics.They came up out of the ocean, rising and then descending 80,000 feet in a second. They would stop in an instant and hover only to disappear.

- YouTube youtu.be

In 2017, the New York Times ran astory about a peculiar man with a stranger tale named Luis Elizondo. He was the former director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, a clandestine group tasked with investigating UFOs for the Pentagon. He began publishing other declassified military videos of strange encounters with technology seemingly beyond human capabilities. He was interviewed by the Washington Post and went into detail about the origins of these phenomena.

The bottom line is, up until very recently there were really only three possibilities of what this could be. And the first possibility is that it is some sort of secret U.S. tech that somehow, we have managed to keep secret even from ourselves for a long period of time. The second option is that it is some sort of foreign adversarial technology that has somehow managed to technology leapfrog ahead of our country despite having a fairly robust and comprehensive intelligence apparatus. And of course, the third option is something quite entirely different.

It’s a different paradigm completely. ... Is it from here, or is it from out there? We don’t really know. In fact, there’s lots of other options on the table. ... It could be from outer space, inner space, or the space in between. As we begin to learn what quantum physics is and we begin to understand our place here on this little planet, we begin to realize that there’s a lot of other options. We judge the universe in five fundamental senses, the ways that we perceive the universe, and that’s touch, taste, hear, smell, et cetera. And if you can’t … use those senses to look at something or measure it, then we really can’t interact with it.

Spook tales

An intelligence officer, David Grusch, last year made an earth-shattering announcement. He claims defense contractors are in possession of numerous ships and bodies not of human origin. He also cryptically implies they may be interdimensional. Confirmation that Grusch is from the above-top secret clandestine world that would have access to this information has provided his claims with a veneer of credibility.

- YouTube youtu.be

Grusch is following the whistleblower procedures for a government official and declaring that Congress just needs to look into a specific area of our byzantine secrecy programs to discover the truth. Senator Marco Rubio went on record on June 26 that other whistleblowers “in high positions of government” have testified about recovered UFOs.

“There are people that have come forward to share information with our committee over the last couple of years. ... I want to be very protective of these people. A lot of these people came to us even before protections were in the law for whistleblowers to come forward,” Rubio told NewsNation.

Project Blue Beam

It’s worth touching on one of the stranger and credulity-straining conspiracy theories in the UFO oeuvre, Project Blue Beam. Serge Monast was a French-Canadian journalist who published the book "Project Blue Beam (NASA)" in 1994. This book is a smorgasbord of intersecting conspiracy theories whereby NASA, with the help of the U.N., was planning on projecting UFOs into the sky to stage a fake alien invasion.

It becomes a little wonky, but all the electronics in our homes would begin transmitting this message simultaneously worldwide. Monast claimed this event would herald the New World Order with a New Age religion headed by the Antichrist. He died less than two years after publishing, and his readers claimed he was silenced.

People like Monast represent what UFO researchers used to be: eccentrics, who were often very intelligent and obsessive, focused on connecting all of the strands into a Grand Unified Theory of Conspiracy.

His hypothesis does resonate in this sense: Why are governments now openly speaking about disclosure when they were happy to laugh about it only a few years ago?

Two answers spring to mind that are equally thorny. Either we’re on the cusp of finding out we’re not alone in the universe, or this is a giant psyop designed to distract us or control the narrative in some way. It could be a powerful fear-inducing mechanism to challenge tenets of Western religions. What better way to generate global cooperation and control than an outside threat?

You can see our long national obsession with conspiracy theories as the human mind attempting to make sense of an increasingly complex world. When religion ebbs, the idea of no one in control is disconcerting, so we look for authority: aliens, the New World Order, Freemasons, etc., something to make sense of a world spiraling out of equilibrium.

However, these explanations are no longer adequate to disregard the collective sense of unease we feel about the world. After several years of being gaslit about a global pandemic, along with a myriad of uniquely modern ills, the collective trust in institutions is gone; instead, we’re coasting on the fumes of a society built by considerably more competent men.

Why would anyone trust governments, corporations, and religious institutions when we’ve witnessed decades of incompetence and experienced firsthand the postmodern ethos destroying the civilizational scaffolding? It seems we’re building to some inflection point. Whether that’s aliens, national divorce, or global governance is perhaps beside the point when societal ennui is reaching a fever pitch. I want to believe, but in what?
