The revelation comes ahead of the release of an unclassified report on unidentified aerial phenomenons (UAPs) observed by US Navy pilots, which is expected to be submitted to Congress later in June.

“Now in this country we’ve had incidents where these UAPs have interfered and actually brought offline our nuclear capabilities,” Elizondo said in an interview.

While some may deem the incidents to be “something that is peaceful,” there is data suggesting that UFOs have meddled with other countries’ nuclear technology and “actually turned them on, put them online,” the expert said.

“I think that there is certainly at this point enough data to demonstrate there is an interest in our nuclear technology, a potential to even interfere with that nuclear technology,” Elizondo said, noting there is nothing surprising about a possible increased interest in US capabilities related to its nuclear technology.

Commenting on the upcoming report, the expert said that it “definitively stated once and for all” that UAPs were not US technology, neither was it Russian or Chinese technology.

According to the New York Times, more than 7,200 sightings were reported to the National UFO Reporting Center in 2020, and that represented an increase of “about 1,000” from the year before…

Sightings of unidentified objects in 2020 nearly doubled in New York from the previous year, to about 300, according to data compiled by the National U.F.O. Reporting Center. They also rose by about 1,000 nationwide, to more than 7,200 sightings.

Of course that same New York Times article blames COVID for the rise in sightings.

We are being told that people had more free time on their hands in 2020 because of COVID.

And we are also being told that people spent more time looking up into the sky in 2020 because of COVID.

These days, COVID is being blamed for just about everything, and so it seems kind of natural to blame COVID for the increase in UFO sightings too.

And I almost started to believe the New York Times until I came across the numbers for the previous year.

It turns out that the increase in UFO sightings during 2019 was even greater than the increase that we witnessed during 2020…

There was a rise in the number of North Americans who looked up into the sky in 2019 and found something that didn’t look like a bird or a plane.

The National UFO Reporting Center, which tracks calls and messages from people around the U.S. and Canada about strange sightings in the sky, reported that it received 5,971 sightings in 2019 — a jump from 3,395 in 2018.

There was no COVID pandemic in the U.S. in 2019.

So why did the number of sightings rise by more than 2,500 during that year?

Overall, the number of UFO sightings has more than doubled over the past two years.

That seems rather noteworthy, doesn’t it?

It is starting to become exceedingly clear that something is going on in our skies that defies “rational” explanation.

On Wednesday morning the Drudge Report ran a headline that breathlessly declared “Commercial Airline Pilots Keep Reporting UFOs”, and this is the story that the headline was linked to…

By combing through thousands of reports in a government flight incident database, VICE World News has uncovered dozens of recent UFO sightings from Canadian and international airlines.

They include a pair of WestJet flights near B.C.’s Okanagan Valley that allegedly saw “a bright, white strobe-type light” above them on the night of March 16, 2017, and a pre-dawn Jan. 10, 2015 encounter outside Regina, Saskatchewan, when “multiple aircraft reported a very large object with a small white light in the middle, surrounded by a halo” that “appeared to descend from above” 41,000 feet.

We rely on level-headed commercial airline pilots to fly us from one place to another.

They are highly competent and they are highly respected.

So the fact that so many of them have filed official reports in which they describe witnessing UFOs is definitely something that we should take very seriously.

And according to one Canadian UFO researcher, the reports from these pilots are consistent with other UFO sightings in Canada going all the way back to the 1940s…

According to researcher and filmmaker Matthew Hayes, there is a “very high degree of consistency” between the reports found in CADORS and the ones he uncovered for his 2019 doctoral dissertation on Canada’s Cold War UFO records.

“Canadians have been reporting the same types of things, unabated, since the 1940s,” Hayes said.  “Historically, it’s also been incredibly challenging to get the Canadian government to talk about this. Compare that with the U.S., where officials seem much more eager and ready to discuss the topic.”

Meanwhile, UFO sightings have been making waves in the U.S. lately too.

In fact, the Pentagon created quite a stir recently when it confirmed that leaked UFO photos taken in 2019 were indeed legitimate.  The following comes from CNN…

The Defense Department has confirmed that leaked photos and video of “unidentified aerial phenomena” taken in 2019 are indeed legitimate images of unexplained objects.

Photos and videos of triangle-shaped objects blinking and moving through the clouds were taken by Navy personnel, Pentagon spokeswoman Sue Gough said in a statement to CNN. She also confirmed that photos of three unidentified flying objects — one “sphere” shaped, another “acorn” shaped and one characterized as a “metallic blimp” — were also taken by Navy personnel.

In the old days, the Pentagon would have never made such a shocking admission.

And we have also learned that in one stretch during 2014 and 2015 U.S. Navy pilots were seeing UFOs on an “almost daily” basis…

Every once in a while, a news item surfaces that prompts you to throw up your hands, sink back into your chair and begrudgingly welcome the impending apocalypse. The most recent item on this docket: A New York Times report confirming that between 2014 and 2015, Navy pilots reported “almost daily” sightings of unidentified flying objects lurking in the air, including one that resembled a “spinning top moving against the wind.”

These UFOs that Navy pilots were encountering were not just stationary objects.  In fact, some of them “reached seemingly hypersonic speeds”…

According to the Times report, the sightings began in the summer of 2014, with Navy pilots reporting that they spotted the vessels nearly 30,000 feet in the sky while they were conducting training maneuvers between Virginia and Florida. Sometimes, they reported, the vessels reached seemingly hypersonic speeds. One of the Navy pilots even almost collided with one of the objects, which apparently (and justifiably) freaked him out so much that he issued an official incident report about it to the Navy. The sightings apparently grew so frequent that earlier this year, the Navy issued official guidelines for how to report “unexplained aerial phenomena.”

Do the skeptics want to try to claim that all of those Navy pilots were crazy?

At this point, it is becoming increasingly difficult for UFO skeptics to retain their credibility.

Something is clearly happening, and I believe that all of the leaks that have been occurring are meant to mentally condition us for further disclosures in the future.

The stage is being set for a deception of absolutely epic proportions, and most people will swallow whatever they are told hook, line and sinker.

We live in such crazy times, and they are only going to get crazier.

In such an environment, it is imperative to learn how to think for yourself, because lies are everywhere.

The truth is out there, but it is not always easy to find, and our world is becoming more filled with deception with each passing day.

The post Why Have UFO Sightings More Than Doubled Over The Last Two Years? appeared first on Planet Free Will.

The records are now available for perusal on the Black Vault, an online repository of declassified government records. The website includes more than 2,700 pages of top-secret documents about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), which is the U.S. government’s term for UFOs.

Declassified starting the 1980s, the documents cover dozens of incidents, such as the 1991 report of a mysterious midnight explosion in a small Russian town and the 1976 account of a top government employee who was hand-delivered a mysterious piece of UFO intel.

The records were released just months before officials from the Department of Defense and other intel agencies are due to appear before Congress and reveal what they know about UFOs. This was after the COVID-19 relief and government funding bill was signed into law last December. The bill includes a “committee comment” requiring the submission of a report about UAPs.

Declassified documents bear chilling UFO accounts

Website founder John Greenewald, Jr. spent the last 25 years trying to get his hands on the documents by hammering the CIA with Freedom of Information Act requests. Last year, the CIA finally allowed Greenwald to obtain a copy of a CD-ROM containing the UFO records.

Greenewald finished uploading all 700 documents to his website a week ago. Soon after, several alien hunters started poring through them, revealing chilling accounts of hundreds of UFO sightings dating as far back as the 1950s.

In one report, CIA officials discussed the possibility that UFOs were behind a “mysterious blast” in the small Russian town of Sasovo in 1991. Residents reported that a “fiery sphere” descended from the sky before a shockwave tore through the town and leveled an entire block.

Investigators failed to account for the explosion’s cause, opening the incident to speculation. “Some people are talking about munitions left buried since the last war, while others claim that a powerful bomb fell. A third group [blames] it on a meteorite, and a fourth group blame UFOs … There are people who supposedly saw a moving ‘fiery sphere,’” the report read.

One 1976 document indicated that the government’s then-assistant deputy director for science and technology was shown UFO-related information that was hand-carried to him, according to Greenewald on Black Vault‘s Twitter account. The deputy said he would personally look into it and then gave advice on moving forward, but that advice is still classified. (Related: Human-like aliens may have come from another dimension, according to declassified FBI file.)Many details including the deputy’s identity were redacted from the report, but Greenewald said he is determined to uncover more, particularly what the advice was. Greenwald also said that he is investigating whether there are additional documents being withheld by the CIA.

“Although the CIA claims this is their ‘entire’ collection, there may be no way to entirely verify that,” Greenwald wrote in a statement on his website.

Intel agencies to disclose UFO info in June

The documents came ahead of the June deadline that will see Pentagon officials and other intel agency chiefs disclosing UFO-related information. The disclosure is ordered in the “committee comment” under the annual intelligence authorization act, which is rolled into the COVID-19 Economic Relief Bill passed into law in December last year.

The comment orders the director of national intelligence “to submit a report within 180 days … to the congressional intelligence and armed services committees on unidentified aerial phenomena.” Though the report may contain top-secret information, the comment stated that the report has to be put together in consultation with other intel agency chiefs.

The provision comes at the heels of the Pentagon declassifying three Navy videos of UFOs darting around several planes in 2004 and 2015. Media outlets leaked the videos before, but it was only last year that the Pentagon officially acknowledged they were true. (Related: Pentagon UFO videos just “tip of the iceberg,” says former U.S. government agent.)

Since then, several lawmakers including Sen. Marco Rubio have been pressuring the department to lay bare what it knows about UFOs. Rubio, the acting chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that authored the disclosure comment, said in the middle of last year that he wanted more clarity as a matter of national security.

“We have things flying over our military bases and places where we are conducting military exercises and we don’t know what it is — and it isn’t ours,” Rubio said in July.

A string of blue lights has been spotted in the sky near Charlotte, North Carolina, according to the local paper The Charlotte Observer.

The newspaper cited a member of the closed Facebook community “What’s Up Indian Trail?” Alisa Homewood as saying that the lights “flickered like lanterns” before disappearing.

She shared a photo of the bizarre phenomenon in which seven dim specks of light are seen lining up in the sky with three visibly larger blue-hued light clusters prominent at the centre of the configuration.

​”My initial thought when I saw the lights was it was the helicopters in the distance, but as the lights got closer there was no sound. Then they went straight up into the sky and disappeared. No smoke, no debris”, Homewood was quoted as saying.

Other members of the Facebook community similarly reported seeing the lights and, according to the paper, offered a variety of explanations ranging from a SpaceX rocket to UFOs.

Soon they’ll be in a coming report from America’s intelligence agencies to members of Congress, specifically the intelligence and armed services committees.

It’s because of a requirement tucked into the recently signed government funding bill that calls for a report from the Director of National Intelligence, “in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the heads of such other agencies” to Congress within 180 days of the enactment of the law to address “unidentified aerial phenomena.”

In the report will be, as required by the law, information on “observed airborne objects that have not been identified” as well as a “detailed analysis of unidentified phenomena data collected by: a. geospatial intelligence; b. signals intelligence; c. human intelligence; and d. measurement and signals intelligence.”

Astronomers have yet to find Planet Nine, a hypothetical planet in the outer region of the solar system. According to some scientists’ calculations, this hypothetical planet could have a mass of about 10 times that of Earth and an elongated orbit 20 times farther from the sun on average than Neptune.

In a new study published in The Astronomical Journal, researchers outline novel information about an exoplanet, known as HD 106906 b, that appears to behave similarly to the elusive Planet Nine. 

Although HD 106906 b was first discovered in 2013 using the Magellan Telescopes at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert, astronomers only recently discovered information about the planet’s orbit using the Hubble Space Telescope, which was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990. The recent study reveals that HD 106906 b is 336 light-years from Earth and orbits around a pair of host stars. The exoplanet is also massive, with a size 11 times that of Jupiter.

“The exoplanet resides extremely far from its host pair of bright, young stars — more than 730 times the distance of Earth from the Sun. This wide separation made it enormously challenging to determine the 15,000-year-long orbit in such a short time span of Hubble observations. The planet is creeping very slowly along its orbit, given the weak gravitational pull of its very distant parent stars,” the Hubble Space Telescope facility explained in a news release.

Astronomers were also surprised to learn that the exoplanet has an elongated and inclined orbit, which is unlike any of the other known planets in our solar system.

“To highlight why this is weird, we can just look at our own solar system and see that all of the planets lie roughly in the same plane,” the study’s lead author, Meiji Nguyen of the University of California, Berkeley, said in a statement, the release noted. “It would be bizarre if, say, Jupiter just happened to be inclined 30 degrees relative to the plane that every other planet orbits in. This raises all sorts of questions about how HD 106906 b ended up so far out on such an inclined orbit.”

Researchers believe that the exoplanet may have formed close to its host stars. However, drag over time caused the exoplanet’s orbit to decay, which caused it to “migrate inward” toward the stars. 

“The gravitational forces from the whirling twin stars then kicked it out onto an eccentric orbit that almost threw it out of the system and into the void of interstellar space. Then a star passed very close by to this system, stabilizing the exoplanet’s orbit and preventing it from leaving its home system,” the Hubble Space Telescope news release explains.

This same theory may also be used to explain what caused the hypothetical Planet Nine to be pushed to the outskirts of the solar system. The planet could have been formed in the inner solar system before being pushed out by interactions with Jupiter. Because interactions with Jupiter may have pushed Planet Nine far beyond Pluto, the prevailing theory is that passing stars may have stabilized the orbit of Planet Nine by moving its orbital path away from Jupiter and the solar system’s other planets.

“It’s as if we have a time machine for our own solar system going back 4.6 billion years to see what may have happened when our young solar system was dynamically active and everything was being jostled around and rearranged,” explained research team member Paul Kalas.

Astronomers plan to further study HD 106906 b to learn more about how it was formed.

“Despite the lack of detection of Planet Nine to date, the orbit of the planet can be inferred based on its effect on the various objects in the outer solar system,” study co-author Robert De Rosa noted. “This suggests that if a planet was indeed responsible for what we observe in the orbits of trans-Neptunian objects it should have an eccentric orbit inclined relative to the plane of the solar system. This prediction of the orbit of Planet Nine is similar to what we are seeing with HD 106906 b.”

The search for Planet Nine began in 2014 after astronomers Chad Trujillo and Scott Sheppard suggested that a large and unseen planet may exist beyond Neptune and that such a planet may be causing gravitational oddities in the orbits of distant objects like the dwarf planets Sedna and 2012 VP113.

The former head of the Israeli military’s space division has claimed that Tel Aviv and Washington have contacted a “Galactic Federation” of extraterrestrials, but that mankind is not ready for the “truth” about life in the cosmos.

Retired general Haim Eshed, 87, who headed up the Defense Ministry’s space unit for nearly three decades, alleged the existence of an alien alliance spanning the galaxy in a bewildering interview with Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

“The UFOs asked not to advertise that they are here, [because] humanity is not ready yet,” Eshed told the paper on Saturday, adding that US President Donald Trump “was on the verge of finding out, but the aliens in the Galactic Federation say: wait, let the spirits calm first. They don’t want us to have mass hysteria.”

They want to make us sane and understanding first. They waited until today for humanity to evolve and reach a stage where we will understand what space and spaceships are.

While it’s unclear exactly what changed to avert the supposed “mass hysteria” warned of by the ETs, Eshed apparently felt it was time to throw caution to the wind and spill the beans himself, claiming not only communication with the otherworldly beings, but that they maintain an “underground base in the depths of Mars.” In his most extraordinary assertion, Eshed said the US government had reached an explicit “agreement” with the distant visitors.

“They signed a contract with us to experiment here,” he said, offering no details about the terms of the alleged interplanetary deal or the nature of the experimentation – hopefully, nothing too invasive.

The former general also hastened to add that the aliens are merely “investigating” and looking to enlist mankind as “helpers” in their quest to “understand the rules of the universe,” suggesting that – at least for now – there’s no need to fear a hostile invasion force, despite the experiments.

Eshed acknowledged that his claims, which he offered with no evidence, might appear outlandish, but said he believes humanity will gradually come to accept them as true, and that some people may already have seen the light.

“If I came up with what I was saying five years ago today, I would have been hospitalized,” he said. “Until today, every place that I approached in the academy with this, they said, the guy has lost his mind.”

Today we are already talking differently. I have nothing to lose. I have received my degrees and awards, I am respected in universities abroad, and the trend is also changing.
