There’s been a significant uptick in mainstream UFO coverage over the last couple of years. Though the mainstream media have traditionally shunned the topic, speculative articles about UFOs — and, by implication, aliens — are now routinely being published by such outlets. There’s even a polished documentary on the topic featuring federal lawmakers and a former CIA director debuting this month. What gives?
A common theory is that our benevolent masters are finally ready to admit the truth. We’re being prepped for the revelation that aliens are and have been among us. The mainstream coverage is a way of gently preparing us for “disclosure”; they’re methodically throwing out crumbs of information that we can digest without choking.
Several UFO-related news items have been circulating within the last few weeks.
3I/ATLAS
The internet has been buzzing with alternative theories about 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar comet known to pass through our solar system. Avi Loeb is the leading mainstream figure promoting the narrative that 3I/ATLAS may very well be an alien craft. Loeb is a Harvard scientist who’s either too brave to worry about being stigmatized, or is part of a psyop. He has said that the comet’s “non-gravitational acceleration” is evidence of an “internal engine,” and therefore being driven by intelligent design. He said that might explain “ATLAS’ bizarre change in pigment while nearing our solar system’s light source,” the New York Post reported.
Loeb’s theory has been rampant on social media. And his idea got the attention of popular podcaster Joe Rogan, who recently had him on his show. Moreover, the Post appears to have taken an especially zealous interest in what he has to say. It has published several articles on Loeb and his theory.
Interestingly, though, Loeb appears to be a solo act who has convinced Rogan of at least one easily verifiable falsehood. Every mainstream article I’ve run across in this vein features Loeb, and him only. Also, rocket expert Elon Musk appeared as a guest on Rogan’s show after Loeb. Rogan said one of the reasons Loeb believes 3I/ATLAS is driven by intelligent beings is because it’s made of nickel, which indicates industrial design. But Musk immediately dispelled that. “No, there are—there are definitely comets and asteroids that are made primarily of nickel,” he said. Really? Rogan asked, surprised. Musk confirmed. The world wide web makes this an easy fact to confirm as well.
Enigma
Then there’s a recent story about the findings of the UFO-reporting app Enigma. “Strange lights, unexplained objects, and mysterious movements beneath the waves have been appearing off U.S. coastlines in numbers that are leaving both scientists and UFO enthusiasts stunned,” reads the first line of a recent Newsweek article. It continues: “A recent report by UFO-tracking app Enigma reveals that thousands of sightings of Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) have been logged near rivers, lakes, and oceans, suggesting that unexplained phenomena are not confined to the skies.”
Fox affiliates have picked this up as well. “Thousands of UFOs spotted off US coastlines raise new national security fears: expert,” blares the headline to a Tampa Bay affiliate’s story. “Enigma, a non-partisan organization that boasts its ‘largest queryable historical sighting database for global UFO sightings,’ has recorded roughly 30,000 UFO sightings since its launch in 2022,” the article tells us.
Congressional Comments
Another big shift in UFO coverage is that American lawmakers are now openly talking about this mysterious phenomena. Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican representative from Florida, has been one of multiple legislators openly determined to find out what’s going on. She’s the chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. And she believes there are non-human intelligent beings out there. “Based on the photos that I’ve seen, I’m very confident that there’s things out there that have not been created by mankind,” she has said. Last week, she sent NASA’s acting administrator Sean Duffy a letter asking for more information on 3I/ATLAS, overtly implying that she believes it’s not a comet. “This information is of great importance to advancing our understanding of interstellar visitors and interactions with our solar system,” she wrote.
Luna is also featured in the much ballyhooed, soon-to-be-released documentary The Age of Disclosure. As is Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), another outspoken supporter of the idea that the government is not telling people the truth about UFOs. While these two legislators don’t emit the swampy stench that emanates from most members of Congress, the other talking heads in the documentary just happen to be “former” national security officials, including former CIA director, suspected traitor, and Deep Stater John Brennan.
Government Secrets
There is no shortage of theories as to what aliens and UFOS may be. We’re not saying that something strange and anomalous is not happening. But getting into what exactly is going on is not the point of this article. We’re not going to speculate if our visitors are space aliens, future humans, or demons from another dimension, or if the whole thing is one big psyop. That’s a rabbit hole that goes deeper than we care to dive.
But it’s worth mentioning that defense contractors and the government have for a long time had secret advanced technology that has baffled the public. For example, many UFO sightings in the 1950s and ’60s, we now know, were of American spy plans like the U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird. Also, multiple whistleblowers have come forward over the years claiming they worked near or on advanced secret technology. And even President Donald Trump admitted that the military has technology the public has no idea exists. “This country is very powerful. It’s far more powerful than people understand,” he told reporters during a recent Oval Office press conference. “We have weaponry that nobody has any idea what it is, and it is the most powerful weapons in the world that we have. More powerful than anybody, not even close.”
