Chuck Schumer moves to declassify UFO secrets like JFK records

Least irrelevant corporate news quote

Probably something along the lines of- "Musk does spacey stuff therefore he knows about aliens!" You know, because he's both a rocket engineer and a xenobiologist.

I'd imagine the last thing the Pentagon would want to do would be to tell Trump about any of this. Some members of congress are pretty unhappy that they've not been read into the UFO stuff and so can't provide oversight so it's not implausible that POTUS would be kept in the dark too.

Half of it is people who think we’re talking about aliens, the other half know it’s just about other countries spying on the USA with advanced drones.

There's legit UFO incidents, but they aren't aliens or supernatural. Different governments testing different technologies, sometimes prototype gets seen.

When people say "well we don't have that technology" I like to remind them of the many different technologies only the US military had access to decades before their public release.

It’s crazy how mainstream ufo talk has become.

I speculated two things in the 90s to a group of friends and family, I think possibly during the same conversation. I predicted both these things to occur by the time we were in our 60s.

• We'd be legally able to sit on our porch and smoke a joint.
• The US Gov would reveal conclusive evidence of extraterrestrial activity verified to have occurred at some point in the history of our planet, after a period of normalizing it through popular media.

I was only really serious about the first one, but the second comment was triggered by what I perceived as a spate of UFO movies and shows that spiked within a few years around the time of Independence Day.

So far I've got 50% accuracy, and still a few years to go, so I've got my fingers crossed. 😁👽

They were "declassified" somewhat recently. The title isn't saying that they're related, but that the UFO secrets will be declassified like the JFK ones were.

I put declassified in quotes because I'm pretty sure the JFK documents were heavily redacted still.

Is there a Lemmy equivalent of ForwardsFromGrandma?

Even if there's no alien technology, reports will show capabilities and limitations of US radars and other methods of detecting foreign objects. And there's likely stuff about US experimental craft in there as well. Even if outdated, that's something that the DOD isn't going to want out there.
