Beschreibung

It seems that Unidentified Flying Objects, UFOs or UAP, really exist and have attracted the attention of agencies such as the Pentagon and NASA. But that's not all: for the first time in history, the U.S. Department of Defense recognizes the legitimacy of several videos recording unidentified anomalous phenomena. In 1989, a former official named Bob Lazar claimed to have worked at Area 51, where all kinds of extraterrestrial material is supposedly kept; David Grusch, former intelligence officer, has testified before Congress that the U.S. Government is hiding ships of extraterrestrial origin and "non-human remains". Are we close to the declassification of hundreds of secret documents that would officially confirm that we are not alone in the universe?

Extraterrestrial Beings

Starting in the 2010s, a series of events related to Unidentified Flying Objects (historically called UFOs), were reported in the “mainstream media”. An article in the New York Times reported on a secret program of the United States Department of Defense, aimed at investigating aerospace phenomena. Later, the Pentagon declassified a series of videos taken by pilots, acknowledged that the images were not tricked, and stated that they could not specify what type of craft were those that had been recorded. There were also a series of sightings that were denounced as “distractions” from more serious matters, such as the derailment of a train carrying toxic substances that would have generated a Chernobyl-like environmental catastrophe.

Something was changing... The so-called “ufologists” thought they had their moment of revenge. Previously they only received sarcasm and social scorn, now the subject was beginning to change its status: cautiously, it is true, but with no room for mockery. For decades, UFO specialists and anyone who claimed to have had a UFO contact was laughed at, and any information on the subject was dismissed as absurd and unprovable.

In the United States, the UFO phenomenon has been studied at least since 1947, the year in which hundreds of sightings occurred. Some specialists later attributed this to the interest that the detonation of the atomic bombs would have generated in the beings from other planets.

At that time, the Air Force investigated some 12,000 sightings in what was called Project Blue, which was officially closed in 1969. Even then, it was determined that most of the sightings were indeed stars, clouds, conventional aircraft or spy planes, but more than 700 were left with the status of “unclear”.

The question revolves around a basic issue: are we alone in the vast universe? The answers, of course, are many and they are quite different. In the 1950s, the physicist Enrico Fermi formulated a theory that resonates to this day: if there are so many possibilities of finding life outside the planet Earth, how is it possible that so far we have found no evidence of it? Some would dispute the very idea that we have no proof: from the references in ancient civilizations to the Pentagon’s declassified footage of unrecognized objects, to the fields burned with circular shapes and episodes in which hundreds of people claim to have seen the same phenomenon.

But there is certainly no concrete evidence on which there is a consensus. Even so, we must admit that there has been a substantial change in the way the subject is approached. This analysis brings up other questions: who could these “extraterrestrial beings” be and how could they relate to us?

Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program

Perhaps the first turning point in the official narrative about extraterrestrial phenomena was the article published on December 16, 2017, in the traditional New York Times. No one would say it’s a “conspiracy-theory” newspaper, and also the article provided such specific information that for many it was a kind of an “orchestrated general declassification”. But let’s review what it was all about.

The article was entitled Glowing Auras and “Black Money”: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program
