Remember when OJ Simpson got away with double murder? He got away with that, and some years later, went to jail for 33 years for… a robbery. One of his friends, when asked to comment on this series of unfortunate events, had this to say: If you get away with double murder, don’t commit robbery.
In short: if you get away with lying about something once, don’t get caught a second time. Sadly, double jeopardy doesn’t apply to lying about UFO research.
Will They, Won’t They?
For years, officials who could have shed light on the existence and whereabouts of UFOs preferred not to. Their Will You–Won’t You dance continued right up until they tried to cover up what was going down in Area 51. Finally, they revealed that a $22 million program sponsored by the Defense Department was dedicated to space research. It was called the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program.
And then, they released this video: an old video, apparently, but released in 2020. It is peculiar to note that the timing was quite odd: they released an all-important UFO video right in the middle of a pandemic, when much of the world was busy figuring out how to survive.
The fact that it was the Navy that recorded the incident makes it all the more credible.
The Ultimatum
Interestingly, the mystery doesn’t end there—seekers of hidden truths have known this a long time, but it gets better for everyone else. In a weirdly revealing move, a COVID-19 legislation had lawmakers asking intelligence agencies, as well as the defense departments, to reveal all that they know about UFOs.
A Senator and Republican spearheaded this move, advocating for a more “open” source of intelligence. According to the legislation, any unidentified phenomena or anomalous aerial vehicles known to the FBI or the Pentagon have to be made public—within 180 days.
Once Again: Will They, Won’t They?
This political lobster quadrille might have to do with positioning in world politics: after all, it is widely believed that rivals such as Russia and China might have access to such sources of knowledge. Perhaps this bureaucratic tug of war will prove beneficial for us; those who have long-believed in what is now only bubbling to the surface.
