Some quotes from the article.
A bipartisan group of House lawmakers made a public appeal for transparency over reports of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) Thursday, after it was reported top leaders in both chambers were attempting to kill legislation related to the effort.
Interest in UAP sightings and has exploded since a July House hearing when three former Defense Department officials gave testimony on their experience with the phenomena, warning that the sightings could pose national security risks.
Included in that effort is a UAP-related amendment in the Senate’s version of the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a provision introduced by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.).
The UAP Disclosure Act would require the release of government records on UAP no more than 25 years after their creation unless they are found to be of enough risk to national security that they require further classification. The act would also create an official UAP Records Collection and establish a review board for the office.
Edwards: Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.
Kay : A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you’ll know tomorrow.
Disclaimer: I think this ufo bullshit is all just a distraction personally, literally every recent election cycle this shit comes up. Thanks Obama! ( /s on Obama joke)
If we assume there are alien craft in the hands of the military/ contractors, then it’s almost a guarantee that we’ve gathered enough info from them, that some of our “hard earned tech”, isn’t ours and isn’t gard earned in context.
If im the government, I don’t want people realizing America isn’t at top of class in all depth. If we are scraping alien tech and saying “look how smart USA is wow”, then it would be a pretty big national embarrassment to have to tell the world it wasn’t American inguminhiry, but greyman ingenuity.
