No Answers, No Defense Against Mystery Drones - 60 Minutes Investigates

No Answers, No Defense Against Mystery Drones - 60 Minutes Investigates - www.theufochronicles.com

"In 2019, naval warships training off the California coast were shadowed for weeks by dozens of drones. For years, the pentagon did little to dispel speculation these images, taken with night vision equipment, were UFOs."

     Last month – the head of NORAD and NORTHCOM – the military commands that defend North America – told Congress some of those mysterious drones seen flying inside the United States may indeed have been spying. He did not say for whom. 60

Minutes has been looking into a series of eerily similar incidents – going back years – including those attention getting flyovers in New Jersey recently. In each, drones first appeared over restricted military or civilian sites, coming and going – often literally – "under the radar." The wake-up call came just over a year ago, when drones invaded the skies above Langley Air Force base in Virginia over 17 nights, forcing the relocation of our most advanced fighter jets. Our story starts with an eyewitness and an iPhone.

UFOs Are 'Real,' Former Military Officials Say

UFOs Are 'Real,' Former Military Officials Say


     As the military prepares to release what it knows about unidentified aerial phenomena -- or UAPs, but better known as UFOs -- former service members and Pentagon officials are becoming increasingly vocal about what they've seen in the skies that can't be explained.

In a blockbuster report Sunday on "60 Minutes," multiple military officials told reporter Bill Whitaker that the U.S. military has repeatedly observed aircraft that it can't identify. The aircraft have displayed extraordinary capabilities that have been both observed by aviators and captured on radar, video and other data.

Fmr President Obama Re UFOs - 'We Don't Know Exactly What they Are'


Barack Obama on James Corden Show, 05-17-21

     When asked about UFOs: “What is true, and I’m actually being serious here, is that there are…there’s footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are. We can’t explain how they moved their trajectory.

They did not have an easily explainable pattern, and so I think that people still take seriously trying to investigate and figure out what that is. But I have nothing to report to you today!”

Space Pioneer & Billionaire, Robert Bigelow Talks UFOs & Aliens on 60 Minutes

than at America's space agency, and he's obsessed with aliens and UFOs. In the spring of last year, he and NASA carried out an historic test to prove his high-flying technology is ready to support humans in space.

[...]

But on this canyon road just outside Las Vegas, Robert Bigelow's story takes a turn that some may find, to put it lightly, improbable. He told us this is where his grandparents had a close encounter with a UFO.

Robert Bigelow: It really sped up and came right into their face and filled up the entire windshield of the car. And it took off at a right angle and shot off into the distance.

The story sparked his obsession, and explains the alien looking out from the side of Bigelow Aerospace. And it made for the kind of conversation you don't ordinarily have with an accomplished CEO.

Lara Logan: Do you believe in aliens?

Robert Bigelow: I'm absolutely convinced. That's all there is to it.

Lara Logan: Do you also believe that UFOs have come to Earth?

Robert Bigelow: There has been and is an existing presence, an ET presence. And I spent millions and millions and millions -- I probably spent more as an individual than anybody else in the United States has ever spent on this subject.

DARPA Launches Revolutionary, Search Engine That Exposes The Dark Web | VIDEO

New, Revolutionary Search Engine Exposes The Dark Web (Memex)

Memex, a powerful new search tool that goes beyond the realm of Google, Yahoo, and Bing, is launched by DARPA

     This week on 60 Minutes, Lesley Stahl and producer Shachar Bar-On got an early look at Memex, a powerful new search engine developed by DARPA, the U.S. military's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

The inventor of Memex, Chris White, sat down with Stahl and Bar-On and explained how Memex works--and how it could revolutionize law enforcement investigations. (See Chris White's demonstration in the video player above.)

"The internet is much, much bigger than people think," White said. "By some estimates Google, Microsoft Bing, and Yahoo only give us access to around 5% of the content on the Web." That leaves a lot of room for bad actors to operate freely in the shadows.

White says that Memex goes far beyond the realm of traditional search engines and gives law enforcement a powerful new tool to search the "dark web," where criminals buy, sell, and advertise in the illegal weapons trade and sex trafficking.

"The easiest way to think about Memex is: How can I make the unseen seen?" said Dan Kaufman, director of the information innovation office at DARPA. . . .
