After years of revelations about strange lights in the sky, first hand reports from Navy pilots about UFOs, and governmental investigations, Congress seems to have admitted something startling in print: it doesn’t believe all UFOs are “man-made.”
Buried deep in a report that’s an addendum to the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, a budget that governs America’s clandestine services, Congress made two startling claims. The first is that “cross-domain transmedium threats to the United States national security are expanding exponentially.” The second is that it wants to distinguish between UFOs that are human in origin and those that are not: “Temporary nonattributed objects, or those that are positively identified as man-made after analysis, will be passed to appropriate offices and should not be considered under the definition as unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena,” the document states.
A “cross-domain trans medium” threat is one that, by the Pentagon’s definition, can move from water to air to space in ways we don’t understand. In July, the Pentagon announced it was opening the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) to investigate these threats. The bill would reclassify Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (the government's term for UFOs) as Unidentified Aerospace-Undersea Phenomena and rename the Pentagon's office in line with the new designation. Last year, a leaked video that was confirmed by the Pentagon as being authentic appeared to show a UFO seamlessly flying beneath the waves.
Senator Marco Rubio, the vice chair of the Senate Select Committee overseeing intelligence that issued the report, has publicly said he wants the UFOs to be aliens and not foreign weapons.
A large question, of course, is why Congress is seemingly admitting this now, in public. After all, lawmakers are privy to classified information that the general public isn't. “It strains credulity to believe that lawmakers would include such extraordinary language in public legislation without compelling evidence,” Marik von Rennenkampff, an Obama-era DoD official, said in an op-ed in The Hill about the budget. According to the op-ed, the comments were first noticed by UFO researcher Douglas Johnson.
"This implies that members of the Senate Intelligence Committee believe (on a unanimous, bipartisan basis) that some UFOs have non-human origins," von Rennenkampff continued. "After all, why would Congress establish and task a powerful new office with investigating non-'man-made' UFOs if such objects did not exist?"
"Make no mistake: One branch of the American government implying that UFOs have non-human origins is an explosive development."
Building on the December 2021 enactment of the unprecedented Gillibrand-Rubio-Gallego law dealing with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP, or UFOs), the congressional armed services and intelligence committees are now pushing forward with new legislative requirements to press the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community to accelerate their so-far sluggish implementation of the 2021 law. The new proposals also contain an array of mechanisms to probe for hidden or forgotten data on UFOs (AKA "unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena," UAP) that government components or contractors may have gathered since 1947.
One component in the package, dealing with creation of a "secure system" for government or ex-government employees (including military personnel) and contractors to legally report previously secret UFO data, was already approved by the full U.S. House of Representatives on July 13, 2022, without debate and without a roll call vote, as an amendment to the House version of the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), H.R. 7900. That amendment was offered by Congressman Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and cosponsored by Congressman Ruben Gallego (D-AZ). Gallagher is a member of the Armed Services Committee, and was recently assigned to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence as well. Gallego is the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee's Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations. H.R. 7900, including the amendment, passed the House on July 14.

While my own conclusion is that we’re not alone and “they” have always been here with us, it’s also my conclusion that whatever these sold-out politicos are up to is not to be trusted.

“cross-domain transmedium threats
What the "F" does this mean?
Never mind. I read further and see the definition.

The write brothers flew a POS hang glider in 1903.
66 years later we had jets, rockets, and landed on the moon in 1969.
Today, 53 years after our moon landing, Does anyone seriously believe that we are still bound to using jets and rockets?
Really?

There could be an advanced race of beings on this planet that could cloak a whole Island in the ocean so nobody could find it. Or maybe they have a big city in South America possibly mostly built under ground and cloaking to hide it from view from above, we are just recently learning to do that. They would probably be hominoids, but not necessarily humans. A race of humans that did not participate in the crazy wars could have built this kind of technology in three hundred years too, look how far we have advanced in a hundred years even with all the warring and greed and desire for power causing chaos.
If a bunch of very intelligent people created a society somewhere even seventy-five years ago they could have developed a super sophisticated technological society, but I think it happened way before that. A super-intelligent society would not destroy the environment around their area, they would work with nature and learn to be symbiotic with it. They could build a city in a mountain and we wouldn't see it. Their fields would look just like the fields of a small town if they did not waste anything. Just think what ten thousand super-intelligent people could create in a community without the rat race dragging them down.
