The Pentagon's UFO Program

-

 


UFOs, Aliens do they exist? If they do are they visiting us? If they are what do they want? These are some of the questions that both armchair investigators and the top levels of the government and military have been racking their brains to answer for decades. 

On the 25th June 2021 the pentagon released a preliminary analysis on 144 Unidentified Aireal Phenomena (UAP). Of these 144 cases studied it was quite shocking that 143 still remain unexplained and the 1 that was closed was said to be a deflating balloon. The report can be found here.

This beggs the question what was going on with these other sightings and who was investigating them. Something that the pentagon was not very forthcoming with. However,  nearly a year after the initial release a man named Travis Taylor who some of you may have heard of came forward as the chief scientist responsible for the report on behalf of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). Although it is true that Mr Taylor did have some kind of lead role in the government's UAP programme, and does at least according to himself holds no less than 5 advanced science degrees he also has many bold and outlandish statements regarding being tracked by supernatural entities and seeing more UFOs than he can count. This does taint his scientific credibility somewhat. 

This lead to reactions of shock and incredulity amongst the scientific community as they couldn't believe someone who so eagerly accepted paranormal explanations for events could also be employed as a lead scientist on such an important program.

Potentially even more interesting is the report that top pentagon officials told house representatives that there are close to 400 potential reports from military personnel regarding UFO sightings. This is a huge increase when you consider the 144 reports stretched from 2004 to 2021 and the remaining 256ish reports are from 2021 onwards (although it isn't clear if it is 400 new reports or upto 400 reports including the 144 previously reviewed so best to use the conservative estimate). Added to this NASA are setting up a group to investigate UFO reports and the pentagon itself setting up it's own investigative wing and the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) releasing years of redacted reports regarding UFO sightings. The amount of information to go through is quite astounding. It may be some time until we can join the dots on some of these reports but here at RTI we are excited to here and read the reports 

To find out more please read here, here and here.

Thanks for reading.

Until next time

Stay safe

Farmer believes puma responsible for death of sheep

A North Wales farmer has told the local press that he has lost 10 sheep since July from what he believes is a puma stalking his farm animals. He states that they are killed by a single distinctive bite to the neck and if the carcass is left more is taken away (presumably eaten by the same animal) over the next few days. The attacks were in the Beddgelert area of North Wales near Snowdonia. The exact location has been withheld due to fears hunters may try to go after the animal. The farmer has also said that a neighbour has had a ram killed and another neighbour (or possibly the same one as it us not stated) saw a large cat (about three times the size of a domestic cat) light brown in colour jump over a wall back in August.  This is not the first time this area of Wales has been subject to suspected big cat attacks as in 2015 the same area of Nantmor and Beddgelert. Where more sheep had been were lost (assume killed) and a witness reported seeing a mother puma with cubs! Area where a pu

The Shag Harbour Incident

  On October 4th 1967 a remarkable event took place in which the tiny an relatively unknow fishing village of Shag Harbour and its residents would be put on the world map once and for all. The incident drew enough attention to be investigated by both the civilian RCMP and Coast guard and military Canadian navy and air force. The story is as follows. Multiple residents of the tiny fishing community of Shag Harbour began to notice strange orange lights in the sky in the evening of the 4th (approx. 11.20pm Atlantic Daylight Time) this was reported by multiple witnesses who generally believed there were four noticeable lights. The lights were flashing in sequence and then without warning dived at a steep angle towards the waters surface. However the lights did not crash in to the water but instead hovered above the waters surface approximately half a mile off shore. At first believing they may have witnessed a plane crash out at sea RCMP Constable Ron O'Brien was contacted by Laurie Wi

The Devil's Footprints

  On a cold Snowy February 1855 a strange event occurred through both East and South Devon that is still often mentioned to this day, that event would become known as the Devil's footprints. After a night of heavy snowfall the areas around Exe Estuary woke to a strange sight, a series of hoof like foot prints could be seen they stretched for between some 40-100 miles crossing gardens and roof tops. The explanation for this if lore is to believed is that the residents of East and South Devon were visited by the devil that wintery night as he wandered through the county plotting some nefarious deeds no doubt and all that was left as the witness were his cloven hoof marks.   The hoof prints were traced over haystacks, through walls and even roofs this was certainly not the works of the local wildlife unless deer and horses can climb and pass through solid objects. The Times described the prints as  the Times the footprints were described as:  "more like that of a biped than a qua
