UFOs: National Security Threat or Extraterrestrial?

Even though unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) are often conflated with the search for extraterrestrial life, they often have more to do with national security than with scientific advancement. And while extraterrestrial life may indeed be real in the form of microbes on far-away planets, the shroud of secrecy surrounding UAPs-which exists for national security reasons-has fed decades of conspiracy theories and spurred hundreds of movies and television shows about little green men arriving on Earth. Recent Congressional hearings on UAP sightings, and the release of an unclassified NASA investigation into them, have once again brought UAPs back to the fore.
The truth about alien life is out there-is the United States’ defense-led focus on UAPs getting in the way of finding it?

Any thing that comes out of CFR or legacy media pure BS

[@couldbebetter6494]

This is TRIPE! The US Government, at a certain level, is working with certain Alien factions on certain scientific and military projects. This CFR report is part of the coverup of this subject. The reporters in this report have zero understanding of security clearances or how very sensitive information is kept from the masses. If anyone reading this wants a solid legitimate grounding on this subject, just search out interviews by Louise Elizondo and John Ramirez (retired CIA officer.) These individuals, along with David Grusch, have extensive intelligence histories and do their best to get out the truth without violating their security clearances. Videos such as what the CFR put out do a disservice to a very serious and sobering topic.

While I think some of the statements made by the host exhibit unjustified confidence (for example with regard to the mummies being fakes), on the whole this is well produced and reasonably balanced.

[@ThePaterfamilious]

Every Scientific study on the Mummies, including Forensic Pathologists, Medical Doctors & Directors of Medical Universities extensive Examinations, C-14 Testing, MRI & Cat Imaging/Examinations/Analysis in University Level Laboratory's and DNA Analysis from several Countries including European, Latin American, Asian (Japan), Russian, North American... Where DNA has consistently reflected Non Human Entities with Intelligent applications of medical implants made of Rare Earth Materials... An impressive display of Research, some 40 Medical/Forensic/Laboratory Professional Studies (Peer Review has lagged in American Science because of Military Contracted Studies being at risk)* *See my comment 2 hours after the replied to Remarks...

Our celestial zookeepers aren't interested in whatever is left of humanity on this planet.
