A historical conclusions list - 9 times the US has probed the question of aliens, UFOs

Whether you prefer to call them UAPs or UFOs, there’s no doubt America has a long-standing fascination with mysterious flying objects. Here’s a look at how previous government investigations have been handled:

Source: 9 times the US has probed the question of aliens, UFOs

Is the above linked list of 9 complete?

Should AAWSAP be listed as well?

What about from other countries?

Given the list and conclusions……I still default to needing a Craft landing/crash, Alien dead/alive in a populated area with hundreds if not thousands to witness.

And I'm sorry to say just as much new information will come out of this one as well. Its just a waste of taxpayers money.

The 9 listed In its entirety……for you…EU’rs 😉

(NewsNation) — Congress on Wednesday will hold a hearing on unidentified flying objects or, as the Pentagon classifies them, unidentified aerial phenomena. But it’s not the first time the U.S. government has searched for answers about objects in the sky. The hearings come after David Grusch, an Air Force veteran, claimed he had evidence of a secret program designed to retrieve debris from objects of “exotic origin.” Grusch claims there is reason to believe that debris is indeed extraterrestrial in origin. Whether you prefer to call them UAPs or UFOs, there’s no doubt America has a long-standing fascination with mysterious flying objects. Here’s a look at how previous government investigations have been handled:

Project Sign, 1948

Project Sign began in 1948. The Air Force began collecting information on UFO sightings, concerned that they might represent a threat to national security. The Air Force found the objects people were reporting were indeed real, but most had ordinary explanations. However, the military recommended continuing to investigate sightings and did not definitively rule out extraterrestrial origins.

Project Grudge, 1949

Project Sign evolved into Project Grudge in 1949. The project was an attempt by the Air Force to tamp down on UFO reports from the public and to reassure people that most unidentified objects had mundane explanations.

The Air Force also recommended ending the project the same year it began, because of the belief that official investigations only spurred public interest in UFOs. A report issued in August 1949 found there was no reason to believe the objects represented any advanced scientific projects and did not pose any threat to national security, whether it be from those outside our solar system or foreign adversaries on Earth.

Project Blue Book, 1952 – 1970

Project Blue Book was the Air Force’s next attempt to conduct a systematic study of UFOs. Cold War-era fears of advanced Soviet technology were a concern even as popular accounts of UFOs attributed them to visitors from beyond our planet.

Once again, the Air Force issued reports stating they determined the majority of reported objects could be identified and explained. Reports from Project Blue Book indicated there was no evidence of technology beyond what current science and technology could produce and no evidence of extraterrestrial origins.

Project Blue Book consultant J. Allen Hynek would later go on to refute the Air Force report, and said many of the explanations offered were not legitimate and there was a need for further study. Hynek said both Project Blue Book and the CIA’s Robertson Panel were created with the intent to disprove the possibility of UFOs and both discounted any evidence contrary to that position.

Robertson Panel, 1953

A sharp increase in UFO sightings in 1952 led the Central Intelligence Agency to conduct its own UFO investigations. The Robertson Panel said most UFO sightings could be explained by people misidentifying mundane objects but also recommended the agency continue monitoring sightings.

The panel also recommended the CIA keep their interest secret and launch a campaign to educate the public and reduce interest in UFOs. The panel feared the volume of UFO reports from the public could overwhelm government agencies and legitimate reports of national security threats could get lost in the shuffle.

Congressional Hearings, 1966

A string of UFO sightings in Michigan led former President Gerold Ford, then serving in the House of Representatives, to call for congressional hearings on the subject. Officials explained the sightings away as mistaken identification of the moon and stars or the result of swamp gas.

The hearings resulted in the creation of the Condon Committee, a civilian group based out of the University of Colorado. The group’s report, released in 1969, found no justification for the study of UFOs and recommended against government efforts to track or study sightings. A congressional hearing on the report resulted in the end of Project Blue Book.

Roswell Report, 1994

Arguably the most famous UFO sighting, the government initially explained the 1947 Roswell incident as debris from a weather balloon.

In 1994, Rep. Steven Schiff (R-NM) requested the Government Accountability Office look into the official explanation. They ordered an Air Force review, which concluded the weather balloon story was indeed a cover-up, but it wasn’t aliens the government was hiding. The debris was attributed to Project Mogul, a secret military surveillance program using high-altitude balloons.

Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, 2007

Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nevada, pushed for the creation of the program to study what the government began calling unidentified aerial phenomena to avoid the stigma of the term UFO. Run by the Department of Defense, the program focused on sightings from military personnel and the department claimed it ended in 2012.

However, those involved with the program claim it continued after funding ended in 2021 with support from the Navy and the CIA.

The Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, 2017

Running from 2017 to 2020, the Office of Naval Intelligence program collected accounts from military personnel who experienced strange sightings. In 2021, the program issued a report and the Pentagon confirmed, for the first time, that videos showing strange objects were authentic.

The task force was unable to identify 143 of the 144 objects sighted but said there was no evidence to categorize them as extraterrestrial in origin. The group became the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office in 2021 and continues to track military sightings.

Congressional Hearings, 2022

In 2022, Congress held the first public hearings since the 1960s, which centered around the UAP task force report. In the hearing, officials revealed the database of sightings had expanded to more than 400 encounters and most could not be classified as known physical objects. The objects were also not believed to be part of any secret U.S. government programs or made by other countries.

Not all lawmakers were satisfied with the results of the hearings, suggesting the military was continuing to engage in a cover-up.

Given the list and conclusions……I still default to needing a Craft landing/crash, Alien dead/alive in a populated area with hundreds if not thousands to witness.

It would have to be live with live witnesses, or they would claim it’s a fake video.

A Hollywood production, they would say...

How about a White House visit?
Then again, it would have to be live with 100s of known journalists.

I think if they did do another project, it wouldn't be much different from the old projects...


Also, people are forgetting this phenomenon obviously has the capacity to remain elusive, and any “ disclosure” likely must be from their angle, not ours.

That’s covered with live streaming 😉

What about from other countries?

In the UK we had Project Condign , it produced a report on British UFO cases which was compiled by the Directorate of Scientific and Technical Intelligence which is part of the Defence Intelligence Service.

The report concluded that UFOs had an observable presence that was “indisputable”, but also that no evidence has been found to suggest they are "hostile or under any type of control". According to its author/s the majority of analyzed UFO sightings can be explained by the misidentification of common objects such as aircraft and balloons, while the remaining unexplainable reports were most likely the result of a supernormal meteorological phenomena not fully understood by modern science.This phenomenon is referred to in the report as "Buoyant Plasma Formation," akin to Ball Lightning, and is hypothesized to produce an unexplained energy field which creates the appearance of a Black Triangle by refracting light.

The electromagnetic fields generated by plasma phenomena are also hypothesized to explain reports of close encounters due to inducing perceptual alterations or hallucinations in those affected.[5] The Condign report suggests that further research into "novel military applications" of this plasma phenomenon is warranted, and that "the implications have already been briefed to the relevant MoD technology managers."

Reminds me of the same song and dance of the U.S. report’s.

BS is BS … all over the world …imo

Tim Burchett said that the deep state/ Pentagon and NASA would stone wall Congress.

a reply to: Ophiuchus1

Just curious,


What, exactly could Congress, the Pentagon, or any other authority, workd-wide, say (or show) that would be accepted as "undeniable proof of extraterrestrial origin"?

In the current world sociopolitical climate, couldn't, wouldn't, anything, if not everything presented as "proof" be discounted, denied, and declared some form of "psyop"?


We may well assume that TPTB are trying to keep "us" in the dark,


The simple truth might be that, even with all the "evidence" they have (if any!), they may be as much in the dark as the rest of us.



Ah, that terrible, crushing disappointed feeling when childhood ends, and we realize that our parents, our "heros" for all our lives up to this point,

Are just ordinary people like us.

If I should live long enough to witness an actual physical presentation of a craft piloted by aliens……in this current generation….then that satisfies my curiosity. I’m basically done wanting to know, wanting to believe. It now would become Fact.

Imo….ultimately, it comes down to the preservation of oneself, family, and friends from then on, as always before….as long as no harm comes to me or the ones I love.

Then as for the Aliens….Live and let Live….Welcome…. (starting to sound like Greer, huh)

Life goes on for all of us …earthlings and aliens.

I’m reminded of the kumbaya song by John Lennon with the lyric….”All we are saying….is give Peace a chance” (now I can’t get the tune and lyric out of my head)

Is it my wishful thinking….sure…. am I wishing for benevolent Aliens (overall)….sure.

Would you settle for "indifferent" aliens?

Aliens who do not show any specific interest in us humans any more than the interest they show any other terrestrial lifeforms.

"They" may not even recognize us as being "alive", much the same as we barely recognize bacteria as being alive.

Sure….unbiased Aliens would work for me…..just as long as they are not massively competing for our natural resources…otherwise we will all be in trouble…..imo.

That would definitely be Kumbaya and maybe turn out like Mars Attacks.

a reply to: Ophiuchus1

Logically, it is virtually impossible that any extraterrestrial species visiting Earth would be, in any way, interested in its natural resources.

Their ability to travel to Earth would be clear evidence that they are more than capable of synthesizing any, and every, resource they could need. The ores and compounds to be found in abundance in interstellar space would be theirs for the picking. In quantities far greater that could be contained in a hundred Earth's.

This is true whether they travel for generations, or are capable of FTL travel.


If they have been on Earth for generations, as some claim, then they will have long since learned how to extract what they need in perfect stealth for hundreds, if not thousands, of years!


And no, it is all but impossible that a species evolving on a planet light years away would share enough of our genetic material, not to mention our physiology, to be able to utilize us as "organ donors", or even food!


We can't even utilize the creatures we evolved with as viable organ replacement sources without exceptional "modifications".


As I see it, our only "value" to aliens advanced enough to travel to Earth lies in our unique culture.


If they even recognize it as culture....by their standards.

A historical conclusions list - 9 times the US has probed the question of aliens, UFOs

...and found nothing.
Zip , zilch , nada .
Nothing .

The more burning question here is:

What do we know about UFOs that we didn't know 75 years ago when Project Grudge began?


Where has ufology actually progressed beyond giving us stories, speculation and often unfalsifiable theories?

a reply to: Ophiuchus1

Thank you for this. 😀

So they say. They would, wouldn't they. It's like asking a thief if they are guilty. The answer is predictable.

Nope. As there is no criminal offense involved
