Beginning in December of 2017, rumors of a "Secret Pentagon UFO Study" was reported by the mainstream media. The result was an avalanche of UFO stories throughout the next couple of years; each one increasing the hope that Disclosure of some sort of alien existence, was about to become reality. As a result, Congress wanted answers. Now? They will get them from the intelligence community in mid 2021. But will it all be public knowledge, or just something for our elected leaders behind closed doors? And what, if anything, will be revealed? It may just be that the 1960s foreshadowed what might expect. But, is that a good thing?

The first California underwater UFO was on July 7, 1947 when two San Raphael teen-agers saw a "flat glistening object" emerge from the water, fly around and then dive back into the water 400 yards from shore. Throughout this same year, numerous steamers reported a mysterious 'undersea mountain' or a 'large mass underwater' which kept appearing and disappearing in various locations in the San Francisco Bay and down the coast.
Following this, the sightings came regularly, in 1951, 1954, 1955, 1957, 1962, 1964, 1970, 1980, 1990, 1991, 1993, 2004 the list goes on, most from the Santa Catalina channel. The sightings involve many highly credible witnesses including lifeguards, security guards, law enforcement officials, military officers and countless citizens.

For a country with 4% of the world's population the USA accounted for around 40-50% of Global UFO reports in the 20th century.

Yet I think the real issue is what our government(s) don't know. They don't want us to know what they don't know either.
"There is no doubt in my mind that today if not many times over the past fifty years we have had the surveillance capabilities to completely monitor the activities of certain UFO flights –and know exactly when they’re going, where they’re going, how they’re going, where they appear form and leave to, all the characteristics about them – we have radar based devices that will not only show the distance, direction and azimuth of an object and all that but will also how shape. We have devices the army has developed for tracking projectiles – they check the acoustic wave and when something crosses over they can immediately track that data and go back to the source. That’s how they track where a mortar is or a howitzer. We can use that same technology – and its portable – for tracking UFOs. I don’t believe any of these things fly over our country today without being known and if somebody wanted the UFO mystery to completely disappear they could in five minutes release enough data to show exactly what’s going on and is not going on"

The small residue of puzzling UFO reports that remain genuine 'unknowns' pose a problem.

The MSM has pretty much cancelled the UFO story and even if some Government report were to come out, they may not cover it.
Thanks for the post MM - don't know the total figure and would be interested to know the source for that.
Don't know if they'll be given access to highly classified data from NORAD/NRO/NSA etc..but do you really think this Senate investigation will be in any way sincere or objective?
Never really been a fan of the small residue hypothesis - even if a person wilfully ignores all the missing hot reports (and BS USAF debunks) then isn't the actual unknown rate still more like 20%?

I think some interesting report(s) albeit with redactions of course will come out of this task group to sew their narrative on where they want to lead the masses. Obviously, critical discerment skills will be required but the vast sheeple majority will only read the dumb down mockingbird narrative versions and continue down the path of illusion.

The UFO/Alien psyop that I think is eventually coming will make the corona psyop pale in comparison but will be a convergence of all this mass globalist agenda & distractions toward their endgame for humanity in creating a new reality.

The other more critical area of UFO sightings and strange anomalies is the HOTZONE...the corridor off coast of Florida, Bimini, Bahamas, AUTEC, down to western tip of Cuba, and down to the Yucatan.

Following on from long held concerns over TTSA/ AATIP shenanigans and the upcoming Senate UFO Report having 'psy-spy-op written all over it' there are some interesting parallels drawn in the vid below
I'm not sure if you're contradicting yourself or if I just don't understand what you're saying here. Maybe the question is, small residue, from whose perspective? From your and my perspective, maybe not that small, but from the perspective of all the additional data military and intelligence has about UFOs that they never release to us, maybe to those people with all that extra information, the unknown residue is pretty darn small.

Fair point and they may not be too sure about origin but I'd wager they're witholding mountains of pertinent information - there's some relevant info here concerning missing gun camera footage, satellite tracking capabilities and NORAD lying through its teeth - also thought John Schussler made a very interesting point below.

NORAD would certainly have more data but is also exempt from FOIA request.

Documents
Continuing on from my last blog post, “NORAD And The UFO Smokescreen: Part 1”, I will carry on presenting evidence, in the form of declassified documents, that the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) has been heavily involved in significant, inexplicable and unexplainable UFO events since its formation in 1957..

I don't think what is made public will be anything more than the usual statements about requiring more funding for more research and a few bland case details.
"The opposite conclusion could have been drawn from The Condon Report's content, namely, that a phenomenon with such a high ratio of unexplained cases (about 30 percent) should arouse sufficient scientific curiosity to continue its study. From a scientific and engineering standpoint, it is unacceptable to simply ignore substantial numbers of unexplained observations..."

A lot of cases lack enough information. So they remain 'unknown'
This was a good report, but the Air Force deliberately tried to mislead the public. The report actually showed that 21.5% of the sightings were unknowns.
UNKNOWNS, rather than making up 3% of the 3201 sightings investigated, comprised 21.5% and that there was a completely separate category “INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION.” The definitions are as follows:
UNKNOWN — This designation in the identification code was assigned to those reports of sightings wherein the description of the object and its maneuvers could not be fitted to the pattern of any known object or phenomenon.
INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION — The identification category was assigned to a report when upon final consideration there was some essential item of information missing…. It is emphasized that this category was not used as a convenient way to dispose of what might be called poor unknowns.”
Here is the quality distribution of the same 3201 sightings. Note especially that the better the quality of the sighting the MORE likely to be listed as an UNKNOWN.
A statistical comparison between UNKNOWNS and KNOWNS showed that the probability that the UNKNOWNS were just missed KNOWNS was less than 1%.

I suspect there are some very interesting cases we probably don't even know about and probably never will.

Pretty amazing stuff there. The vid with Preston Dennett is very convincing of non human/unknown stuff going on there.
One of the first such reports to make it into the local paper, was the supposedly widely-viewed account of several “flying discs” over Avalon in 1947, just about the same time as the infamous Roswell incident...
Not as widely reported at the same time, however, were a number of other “disc” sightings both before and after the Roswell incident.
On the evening of June 26, 1947, U.S. Army Major George Wilcox of Warren, Arizona, reported a series of “eight or nine” disc-shaped objects traveling near his home and at an altitude of about 1,000 feet above the nearby mountains.
That same evening, a Captain E.B. Detchmendy reported seeing a “white disc glowing like an electric light bulb” passing over Pope, New Mexico, a sighting echoed by several local townspeople.
Dozens of other sightings—many by military officers—were reported in the region in the coming days and weeks.
But the Southwest wasn’t the only venue. Similar sightings were reported throughout much of the western United States as far north as Washington State and as far west as California—including Catalina Island.
On July 8, 1947, the very same day that Roswell’s Daily Record was reporting the initial “flying disc” story, a remarkable incident reportedly occurred in the skies above Avalon. An article on the front page of the week’s issue of the Catalina Islander details an alleged sighting by three visiting Army veterans of six “flying discs” traveling at high speed from the northeast and passing directly over Avalon before disappearing over East Peak.
According to the story, the six discs appeared at about 1 p.m. and flew in a formation of two sets of three and were witnessed not only by the veterans, but by “hundreds” of others as well.
Alvio Russo, one of the reported witnesses and an Army Air Corps veteran who had flown 35 bombing missions over Germany with the Eighth Air Force, estimated the velocity of the discs at “850 miles an hour,” according to the story.
Bob Jung, listed as a “former aerial photographer” agreed with this estimate and said they were flying roughly as fast as the U.S. Navy’s “Tiny Tim” rocket, which he had photographed numerous times for the Navy.

It's funny how society and academia and even media are so far behind the curve to this day.
"Most scientists have never had the occasion to confront evidence concerning the UFO phenomenon. To a scientist, the main source of hard information (other than his own experiments' observations) is provided by the scientific journals. With rare exceptions, scientific journals do not publish reports of UFO observations. The decision not to publish is made by the editor acting on the advice of reviewers. This process is self-reinforcing: the apparent lack of data confirms the view that there is nothing to the UFO phenomenon, and this view (prejudice) works against the presentation of relevant data."
Dr. Peter A. Sturrock, Professor of Space Science and Astrophysics and Deputy Director of the Center for Space Sciences and Astrophysics at Stanford University
