It's funny listening to all the pilots asking to have the video shared with them too... it seems like everyone's curious what the hell is going on.
I hope those videos leak. It sounds like they were fine just sharing them with everyone, you would have to assume someone will leak them.

Did they track down the source of those jersey drones yet? This can't be that hard.

Somehow they haven’t. The longer this drags on the weirder it gets.

That said, the vast majority of videos people are posting of these are prosaic and easily explainable.

What started off as a legit mystery still remains, but it’s also morphed in to some hysteria as well

Now it sounds like in Morris County, a drone went down but immediately after, 10 other drones arrived at the crash site or something as reported on Reddit with recordings of an apparent police scanner call talking about it.

Definitely some weirdness about this guy who blew the cybertruck up outside the Trump Hotel. He supposedly sent an email to couple of people on X stating that the “drones” seen recently are actually anti-gravity craft operated by China and US has the same capabilities. Alleges he was also involved in cover up of war crimes in Afghanistan and that he was being followed by FBI in weeks leading up to his death.

His alleged email is here:

Pretty wild listen to Luis Elizondo, who was the director of the program identifying UAP on the Smartless Podcast. Seems to pretty heavily imply that he has direct knowledge of physics and philosophy shattering information currently being withheld basically because some people are afraid that everyone with freak the f*** out. Like, it's one thing to speculate on whether or not there is something out there way more sophisticated than we can even understand, its another to have the guy in charge of investigating that stuff straight up saying, "yeah, we know there's something out here beyond our comprehension but we're just keeping that under wraps for now". Until when? I find it so arrogant that some of these dinosaur government committee heads etc... think they somehow have a better handle on reality than anyone else. Just release the damn info so we can have our global meltdown already!

He does ask an interesting philosophical question about how you would truly feel to actually know, like really know, that despite all our power and technology that we are but an ant compared to some other force. To go from top of the food chain to feeling like the equivalent of a bug colony.

Thanks for posting this. Elizondo is always worth a listen for me. I am still unconvinced, but he does get the hamster wheel spinning which is fun.

For anyone who wants to listen, skip in about 10 minutes to avoid the small talk.

I think alien life being proven to exist would have a far smaller affect on people. Weather on our own planet randomly kills people without our control. Alien beings that more or less don’t interact with us wouldn’t really be a big deal in terms of changing the way humans interact with the world and each other.

Just like Zahi Hawass in Egypt, gatekeeping everything there and slowing down any kind of investigation that could further our knowledge about the great pyramid and other structures. Even harmless, non-invasive projects with modern equipment. What could take weeks takes decades. He tries to control the flow of information and the narrative that gets out to the public.

The whole of humanity is privy to those answers and it should not be up to him.

Egypt love the silly conspiracy's around the pyramids, tourism is a leading source of revenue and makes up almost 10% of their GDP and tourism sector employed almost 2.5 million Egyptians, Zahi Hawass is doing what he's told to do.

You should read the whole story but the most amusing part of this piece suggests that a chunk of America’s UFO obsession comes down to an elaborate, years-long prank repeatedly pulled on junior officers.



Ya, gonna go read this now. Should be amusing.
