Yes it's Vice, but they do have a point why would Congress make the Pentagon extra funds for this unless they had more than they are letting us know? Plus it's a bipartisan bill, is it a distraction? money grab? hard to say it's pandering to their voters. I could easily see them hiding behind National security, any potential here?

Congress Admits UFOs Not ‘Man-Made,’ Says ‘Threats’ Increasing ‘Exponentially’

www.vice.com...



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.

Good points. It’s almost like the perfect “anything” when one thinks about it. Any kind of MacGuffin needed.

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.

Well managed "slow disclosure"?

Bury a distinctive definition within the body of a relatively nondescript direcective.

By the time full admission is made public, the majority of the public will be of the attitude

"Duh! Tell us something we don't know!"

I think that it is what it appears to be on the face: Congress is authentically worried, and probably received some classified briefings which scared the bejeezus out of them. I don't see any political or fundraising angle that makes sense.

One thing is very important, the system for people to securely report classified information to them. I think that the phenomenon and artifacts if any have gotten out of control of the legitimate government and this is the means to reel it back in. It could have been a Yet Another Vague Study Report or some such nonsense if they wanted to make it go away, but this is real actions and breaking through old NDAs and structures is important. The two congressmen who sponsored the amendment are part of committees whose top members are allowed to receive higher level briefings than most. They still aren't allowed to talk about what they heard in them, but actions speak louder than words and legal actions to let people talk (who probably want to talk) in a literal safe space has been needed for a long time.

As a conspiracy theory one potential scenario is that private sector snatched it away from government (easy to pay people much more than government salary) and have been breaking the law as a result, and that's one major reason for cover up activities. The usual one: people who benefit don't want to go to prison so they work to erase the evidence and intimidate the witnesses. Not something crazy or out of this world, but usual human corruption.

I would trust a career military over a contractor with a profit motive.

I agree. They lie about everything.
Why would they tell the truth about UAPS?

“cross-domain transmedium threats


What the "F" does this mean?

Never mind. I read further and see the definition.

Hell, I had to read the definitions 3 times myself, I don't know myself but I found it to be an interesting angle. I know they are politicians, but is everything they do crooked? I'm not so sure, again where is the benefit I'm not even sure, it moves the needle for most of their constituents.

I think it's very interesting that they have pushed the new definition out into public consciousness. Most experiencers only see these craft as lights in the sky, it's only the military which observes the trans-medium action of traversing sea as well as sky. The fact they are redefining the terms means they want the public to be aware that there is an extra dimension to the narrative, and this perhaps bodes well for a measure of their future intent to push the boundaries of what is known, ensuring that the public is more informed as things progress...

So now you all believe the US Congress ?
They are as full of bullsh-- as they have always been.

Cross domain sort of like "amphibious" . Trans-medium is almost the same. The vehicle can negotiate a variety of "mediums" (Air, water, space, etc.).

It's always what I figured it meant, just felt like throwing that out there.

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?

Unfortunately, yes.

At least, most probably.


Those technologies are all based upon our understanding of classical Newtonian physics. The principles of c ll assical physics have been unchanged since the big bang generated the universe which is governed by those physics.

The only way humanity will ever exceed its dependency on the principles provided by classical physics is by shifting its focus to technologies based on non-Newtonian physics: tapping the quantum realm.

"Space" becomes a meaningless concept when non-locality can be developed into a form of instantaneous transport.


But! Breakthroughs in our understanding of non-classical physics would not possible to secret away in government, or military labs.

Because those insights do not depend on vastly expensive machines to uncover them;


They merely require highly evolved minds, which tend to pop up in the least expected places.

Care to expound on that? is that the "Hanger 18"scenario? I'm not so sure when I hear military pilots and sailors baffled.

FWIW there have been plenty of accounts of USOs as well IIRC wasn't there a lake in Brazil with numerous reports of light entering and exiting the water ?

Oh, alright then , I'll help you to understand.
Like Cliff High says , Humans use funny word
combinations when they are unconsciously,
and/or psychicly , (and perhaps even covertly)
and maybe even psy-op-ly "spilling the beans"

Anagrams for "Cross-Domain Trans Medium Threats" :

1) Communists in armored death stars!

2) Damn! Communists/Terrorists ahead!

3) Standard Earth Communism Stories.

Kinda like what Fox Mulder said : "The truth is in there"


Go get ' em Star Commander!
And remember: One lousy Gold Star is no match against
Fifty Mighty White American Stars!
God Speed Good Sirs ! God Speed Indeed!

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.

Okay so they are fallen angels, not my first theory but I've heard enough of the stories it's not completely off the table.

Just don't know enough about the angel angle, does that mean they all look the same? are there variations? It opens up so many questions

So do our officials know your scenario or are they completely in the dark?

I would think they would be in the dark and if not, are they are being manipulated? or are there some working with them?

There are at least 7 different types described. They all look different. At least one type looks very similar to us

Essentially terrestrial in origin? of course but they obviously would have likely been around longer, since native cultures across the world have their stories and legends of sightings similar to what we still hear about today.
