For years they told us to wait. That wait ended this morning.
For years, those of us paying attention to the UFO conversation have been told to wait. Wait for the right administration. Wait for the right disclosure. Wait for the documents to be reviewed, redacted, declassified, archived, and finally, eventually, released.
That wait ended this morning.
At 9 a.m. Eastern, the Pentagon went live with the first batch of files under a brand new program with a name that sounds like it belongs in a thriller novel. PURSUE, the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters.
The site, war.gov/UFO, dropped 162 files into public view. 120 documents, 28 videos, and 14 images, pulled from the FBI, the Department of Defense, NASA, and the State Department. No clearance required. No FOIA wait list. Just there, on an official government webpage, for anyone with an internet connection.
The conversation just changed. What do you think they finally decided we were ready to see?
What do you think about this? Over five months from late 1989, more than 13,000 people in Belgium reported a silent black triangle with three corner lights. In March 1990 two F sixteen jets locked radar on it, and it made moves no pilot could survive. Secret aircraft, or a genuine visitor?
What do you think about this? The Abenaki spoke of something in Lake Champlain long before Europeans arrived, and Port Henry still keeps a sign counting sightings. In 1977 Sandra Mansi photographed a long neck and a dark hump, and no hoax was ever found in it. Log, or a real animal?
What do you think about this? In 1579 Francis Drake beached the Golden Hind somewhere on the northern California coast and claimed the land for England. Nobody can say which beach. A brass plate found in 1936 was celebrated for decades, then proved a hoax. Point Reyes, or somewhere else?
What do you think about this? Among the Dead Sea Scrolls, one is engraved on copper instead of parchment, and it is a treasure map. It lists 64 hiding places holding tons of gold and silver. Not one has ever been found. Real temple gold, or an ancient legend set in metal?
What do you think about this? On August 15, 1977, an Ohio telescope caught a 72 second burst from Sagittarius, 30 times stronger than background, right on the hydrogen frequency. The astronomer circled it and wrote Wow. It never came back. Fluke, or one word of a conversation?
What do you think about this? The Shroud of Turin carries a full length image of a man that behaves like a photographic negative, which nobody noticed until it was first photographed in 1898. Carbon dating said medieval. Nobody can explain how the image formed. Artwork, or something else?
