Hundreds of pages of documents provide consistent detailed descriptions
of the drones and conclude the military wasn't behind the operation.
... law enforcement agencies in numerous rural counties in eastern Colorado and adjacent areas of Nebraska and Kansas received an influx of reports of large drones flying in formations at night for a period of several weeks during December 2019 and early January 2020. Many law enforcement personnel were

among the reporting witnesses. In short order, the “mystery drone” wave also elicited serious expressions of concern from at least two U.S. senators and attention from Colorado’s governor and state public safety agency. The activity soon drew the attention of regional and later national news media, as well.
Now, The War Zone can offer an unprecedented inside look at what was going on behind the scenes within the FAA, which was leading a task force to solve the drone mystery....
The former head of the Pentagon's UFO program
(AATIP), Luis Elizondo, appeared on the Tucker Carlson show, with guest
host Brian Kilmeade to offer his views of the recent news
By Fox News 6-26-20
concerning the Senate Intelligence Committee's vote to publicize classified
UFO data.
[...]
Brian Kilmeade: Luis, if the
Senate gets what they want what will they get?
Luis Elizondo: I think this is a
historical moment in our country for many reasons. I think it's fair to say
that this certainly is a nonpartisan issue. Thanks to the courage of Senator
Marco Rubio but others before him, such as Harry Reid and Stevens and Inouye
... I think if the Senate is successful in getting what they want, they're
going to get actual hard data as to the capabilities of these incursions into
our airspace and the airspace ... of where we have combat vehicles ...
hopefully we can get a better understanding of what's going on here. These
things seem to appear and operate without impunity both here in the United
States and overseas, where our brave men in and women are in uniform and
hopefully we'll finally be able to piece this together.
Brian Kilmeade: Luis, how do
you know?
Luis Elizondo:
Well, because I was part of a program for about ten years back in the Pentagon
called AATIP. I ran that program with several colleagues of mine, and it was an
inter-agency organization very much like this task force that you are seeing
right now that's being proposed in this bill.
Brian Kilmeade:
What's the most intriguing thing that we'll get from it, if the Senate
Intelligence Committee gets what you know?
Luis Elizondo:
Hopefully, you're gonna get an unclassified report, and for the first time
average Americans are going to get a chance to see the very same data that has
been locked away if you will in classified briefings and what not, and hopefully
see the light of day for once.
Brian Kilmeade:
Now, I consider myself an average American, can you tell me what is says, since
you part of the unit?
Luis Elizondo: Well,
unfortunately, I'm not employed by the U.S. government anymore, and I'm still
bound by my non-disclosure agreements, my NDA's I still have a security
clearance ... so that's really a conversation that the U.S. government's going
to have to have ... the executive branch with the legislative branch and then
finally decide what they think is appropriate for the American people. I think
what I can is that data is very compelling. And when you look at these
vehicles and what they're able to do, you very quickly realize that this is
probably not something in our own inventory.
The Office of Naval Intelligence has an “Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force,” and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio is requesting a detailed analysis of their findings.
By Justin Sedgwick www.fox10phoenix.com 6-26-20
The reveal of both the task force’s existence, as well as Rubio’s data request, came in a June 17 Select Committee on Intelligence report authored by Rubio on the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.
The report states that the committee supports the efforts of the task force to collect and standardize data regarding “unidentified aerial phenomenon (UFOs), as well as their links to foreign governments and potential threats.”
Lawmakers want to know what data exists, how it's shared, what threats
these craft might pose, and if an adversary has new breakthrough tech.
Members of the U.S. Senate have expressed concern
that the U.S. military, as well as other federal government agencies,
have not been giving the appropriate amount of attention to reports of
encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena, or

UAP, more commonly referred to as unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, which
may be linked to America's adversaries. They are now looking to order the
Director of National Intelligence to work with other relevant agencies to
produce a report detailing just what information they have on UAPs already, how
that data is collected and processed, how it is getting shared, and just what
kind of threats or other risks these objects might pose.
The call for the UAP
review was included in a report accompanying a draft of the Intelligence
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 that Senator Marco Rubio, a Florida
Republican, submitted on behalf of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
on June 17, 2020.
Navy fighter pilots reported close encounters with unidentified aerial vehicles, including several dangerously close, in eight incidents between June 27, 2013, and Feb. 13, 2019, according to documents recently released by the Navy.

Last month the Defense Department authenticated three videos of aerial encounters previously published by The Times, accompanying accounts of Navy pilots who reported such close encounters.
Here Are The Navy Pilot Reports From Encounters With Mysterious Aircraft Off The East Coast
The reports are the first official documentation of various recent incidents with unidentified aircraft in restricted airspace along the east coast.
Nearly one year ago, Navy fighter pilot testimony about a seemingly bizarre rash of encounters with unidentified craft flying in restricted airspace off the east coast hit the news cycle with a bang. In the months that have followed, limited additional details about those encounters have come to light. Meanwhile, The War Zone has been slowly assembling the

building blocks of a case that may explain them. What we were still missing was any official Navy documentation that alludes to them. Now that has changed, and you may be surprised as to what these newly obtained documents actually say and when the incidents they described occurred—or didn't occur—for that matter.

Having worked on some of the most highly-classified aerospace programs in the world, all this new UFO talk sounds very familiar to these two men.
It’s a 70-year old mystery that, until recently, had been largely relegated to society’s rebelliously curious. Now, thanks in no small part to three Department of Defense videos showing some kind of unidentified aircraft soaring through restricted

Despite all the attention from the media and the general public, for a man who’s worked on some of the most highly-classified aerospace programs in the world, all this new UFO talk isn’t all that impressive. In fact, for T.D Barnes, a former Special Projects engineer at Area 51, this entire UFO story sounds very familiar.
An official agreement makes it clear the Army wants to explore the possibility that To The Stars Academy may actually have something game-changing.
Just yesterday, the U.S. Army confirmed that it had entered into a curious cooperative deal with former Blink 182 frontman Tom DeLonge's To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science, more commonly known as TTSA, to investigate certain "novel materials." The War Zone has now obtained a minimally

redacted copy of the agreement that clearly says that the Army wants to attempt to verify TTSA's claims about reported metamaterials and associated "technology innovations." If they actually check out, the service thinks they could be immensely valuable to the U.S. military as a whole.
