THE world went UFO-mad this week. By “world”, I mean the United States, which is kinda the same thing. At any rate, extra-terrestrial developments there were widely reported here, with the most worrying claim being that some aliens are malevolent and have killed people.
Damn. I’d predicated all my hopes on the aliens being kind and rescuing us from the Earthlings. David Grusch, a Pentagon whistleblower who served 14 years in the US Air Force, said: “The logical fallacy there is because they’re advanced, they’re kind.” Fair point. People were kinder in the 1950s than they are now.
Mr Grusch bases his claim of extra-terrestrial malevolence on “witness testimony”, provided to him in briefings. I see. Over the last week, he has also gone public with claims that the US government has been lying for decades about discovering UFOs and extra-terrestrials.
The whistleblower, who represented the National Reconnaissance Office at meetings with the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (formerly UFO) Task Force, says the US runs a reverse-engineering programme using UFO technology and is in an arms race with Russia and China to deploy it for benignly violent purposes.
Sensationally, Mr Grusch also claimed the US government would do anything to protect the secret, including killing people. “I’ve heard some reallyw un-American things I don’t want to repeat right now,” he hinted darkly.
The problem with all this, as with the malevolent Earthlings claim, is that Mr Grusch’s information is all second-hand. He was told about it by others involved. Meanwhile, yon Pentagon denied any knowledge of the programme, but pretended it would investigate his claims. In a third explosive claim this week, Mr Grusch claimed Pope Pius XII acted as a go-between during the Second World War to ensure a crashed UFO was moved from Italy to the US. He said the Catholic Church was “certainly” aware of “non-human” existence on Earth. Adding to the sinister vibe, the Vatican declined to comment.
However, Nick Pope, no relation and a former Ministry of Defence UFO investigator, said of the extra-terrestrial phenomenon: “Gone are the days when it was regarded as part fringe, part-science fiction, and part conspiracy theory.” Pretty sure these days are still here, mate.
All this was just the tip of the UFO iceberg this week. A top attorney involved in bringing whistleblowers to Congress claimed a UFO recovered by the US military “distorted space-time”. When investigators entered it, they found it “bigger on the inside”. Er, think that was Dr Who, mate.
Meanwhile, a study revealed Virginia would be the safest state in the event of alien attack, with plentiful cover available in caves and woodland, while the wide open landscape and high number of UFO sightings made the West Coast most dangerous. Finally, someone posted film on yon YouTube of a UFO flying into Popocatépetl volcano in Mexico. He said magnetic jiggery-pokery therein made it a portal to another universe. I see. You are busy people, so on your behalf I’ve examined this evidence. It’s certainly interesting though, if you remove “desired sight” from your imagination, the “UFO” could be a meteor or drone. Still, any portal in a storm, eh?
