How the Pentagon researched UFOs, or Disneyland paranormals for $22 million

Everyone has heard about UFOs, but only for a fewer years about flying saucers or aliens can be read on popular portals, without looking at the Internet. "Pentagon secretly traces UFOs" – reported in December 2017 "Rzeczpospolita". "Pentagon published recordings on which UFOs were registered. We may not be alone" - informed polsatnews.pl in 2020, and these are just 2 examples from many.

This wave of interest in aliens from outer space began a text published in the 2017 fresh York Times. It revealed that the Pentagon, although officially underestimated reports of unidentified flying objects, secretly investigated them with large interest. The participation of authoritative factors of the American authorities in serious investigation on UFOs and confirmations from the world's largest editorial offices allowed millions of people to presume that possibly there is something about things. And although the fresh York Times text is inactive behind the paywall today, most likely most people curious in the news from the planet know at least that present The Pentagon was investigating UFOs. and confirmed that specified a phenomenon does exist.

Meanwhile, in the first story, more and more holes appeared through which she saw the actual past of American investigation on paranormal phenomena. This communicative turns out to be much more mundane, but not little intriguing.

Secret by-confidential

On December 16, 2017, the fresh York Times released ArticleGlowing Auras and “Black Money”: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program. The text recounted the past of erstwhile counterintelligence agent Louis Elizondo, who claimed that between 2007 and 2017 there was a secret AATIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat recognition Program) program in the Pentagon to analyse reports of UFO sightings, to realize the essence of this phenomenon and to analyse whether it poses a threat to national security.

The programme was to be initiated by the president of the Democratic majority in the Senate, Senator Harry Reid of Nevada. The programme was implemented by an entrepreneur from the aviation industry, multimillionaire Robert Bigelow – at the same time a friend and 1 of the sponsors of the election run by Harry Reid, to whom the senator donated $22 million to analyse UFO observations. The program was to be officially shut down in 2012, but its manager Louis Elizondo, who yet revealed the full substance to the press, was to proceed his work until October 2017, erstwhile he left his post in protest of the shuffle of the military authorities.

With the revelations of a erstwhile counterintelligence agent to the press 3 recordings of unidentified objects made by the American military leaked. This communicative would most likely have ended due to the fact that akin leaks had occurred in the United States before. This time, however, Senator Reid admitted that specified a program was actually being run, and the Pentagon confirmed the recording's veracity. It was adequate for this incredible communicative to spread throughout the planet – although it was false from the very beginning.

The article from the fresh York Times is already iconic today, but the same communicative presented besides in Politico magazine under the title The Pentagon’s Secret Search for UFOs. any commentators rapidly pointed out the inaccuracies between these relations – they disagreed with the date of the program's launch, its name and the reason and year of closure. Moreover, there was another conflicting information: erstwhile the Pentagon spokeswoman confirmed the function of Louis Elizondo as task director, another time her successors declared that until the end of her work at the Pentagon, Elizondo had no authoritative duties related to AATIP. On the 1 hand, the agent claimed that the program continued until 2017, and the Pentagon consistently maintained that it was closed in 2012.

There were no clear answers. In June 2019 at The Intercept magazine was, that after 2 years after the article in the fresh York Times, it was not clear whether the program existed at all, and if so, whether Elizondo was actually its director.

What scares at Skinwalker Ranch

The breakthrough occurred in October 2021 with the publication of the book Skinwalkers at the Pentagon: An Insiders’ Account of the Secret Government UFO Program. Already in the foreword, Senator Harry Reid, political patron of the secret program, declares that the memorable article in the "New York Times" did quite a few good for investigation on UFOs, but besides falsified the past of the full project.

Among the authors of the book were actually people active in the said program, including its director, atomic physicist James T. Lacatski (Louis Elizondo mentioned an earlier director, but did not mention him by name). According to them, the secret program operating in the Pentagon was called not AATIP, but AAWSAP (Advanced Aerospace Weapon strategy Application Program), and UFO observations were just a fragment of his interests. The main measures were focused on studies of various anomalies occurring as though on the alleged Skinwalker Ranch. It is simply a property in the state of Utah, about which unusual stories were circulating – supposedly not only UFOs, but besides crop circles, animal mutilation, the presence of ghosts, werewolves or Greatfoot were observed there.

The Skinwalker Ranch belonged to the already mentioned millionaire Robert Bigelow, privately enthusiast of UFOs and paranormal phenomena. Bigelow financed a ranch survey by a group of eccentric scientists from 1995 to 2004. In 2005, these researchers wrote a book in which they presented a full array of improbable events observed on the ranch. The book came into the hands of Lacatsky, who then worked for the Department of defence Intelligence.

Lacatski became curious in the ranch, visited them in the company of Robert Bigelov and reportedly survived his own inexplicable experience there. At the time, he felt that the ranch was the habitat of an anomaly that had to be scientifically studied for the good of the United States. Robert Bigelow thus convinced his friend Senator Raid (also believing in UFOs) to launch a secret investigation program.

But how do we convince authoritative American factors to put taxpayers' money into UFO research, ghosts and werewolves? It is best not to mention UFOs, ghosts and werewolves. This has been the case, and already in 2008 the competition for a programme aimed at "understanding physics and engineering and their applications in relation to abroad threats in the long word by 2050". Only 1 company owned by Robert Bigelow came to the competition without surprise.

Paranormal Disneyland

When everything was officially approved and the Pentagon unwinded the dollar hen, program manager James T. Lacatski completed a squad of researchers and installed them on the Skinwalker Ranch, which due to the abundance of anomalies occurring there the authors called Paranormal Disneyland.

What didn't happen! Balls of light, moving objects, sounds of unknown origin, immense bulletproof wolves, sinister powers that ambushed researchers, destroying their wellness and making life worse not only on the ranch, due to the fact that they followed their victims to their homes, thousands of miles away. 1 of the most poignant relationships is surely the encounter with a creature resembling a immense pig with spikes on its back (such as dinosaurs had) and a beaver tail.

Soon the first reports began to flow to the Pentagon. The discoveries were to be “shocking” and so delicate that Senator Harry Reid decided to defend them from possible enemies in the Defence Department and from the interest of Russia and China, which allegedly were to run their own akin programs. As early as May 2009, Reid requested that the peculiar access position be given to the programme, which would let it to be effectively hidden, and that a group of people informed about it be restricted to respective people. Reid's proposal was rejected, and backing for the programme was halted earlier than initially assumed – as early as 2010, the origin of public money had dried up.

Two years later, the program officially closed. And where in all this is Louis Elizondo and the AATIP program investigating UFOs, which described the “New York Times” in the text we all heard about? The authors of the book state that AATIP was only a pseudonym invented for Senator Reid's request to give peculiar position to the AAWSAP program to hide its real name. There was no separate program of UFO research. There was only the Disneyland Paranormal AAWSAP for which a full of $22 million was allocated.

Elizondo himself appears in the book only once, erstwhile in 2009 he is invited by 1 of the squad members to a joint dinner and tells how his supernatural intuition and the ability to far-sightedness (depending on recognizing the properties of a distant or invisible object that supposedly feels mind) saved his and his people's lives in Afghanistan.

UFO lands in the mainstream

How did it happen that the communicative of a secret survey of Paranormal Disneyland haunted by a pig-bobro-dinosaurs appeared in the fresh York Times as a material about the Pentagon's investigation into reports of UFO observations? Among the authors of the 2017 text was writer Leslie Kean, who has been writing about UFOs for decades and is convinced of the reality of this phenomenon. erstwhile asked why she mentioned only UFOs, and left out another bizarre accounts, she replied that the intent of the study was to give credibility to the UFO phenomenon. That's why she focused on this, the descriptions of phenomena that people are not ready to accept yet, she put aside.

The reconstruction of actual past was presented by investigator Steven Greenstreet in a series of reports written for The fresh York Post. Based on the revealed papers and statements of the participants, Greenstreet believes that a group of UFO-enthusiasts and eccentric scientists with the aid of UFO-enthusiast millionaire Robert Bigelov convinced another UFO-enthusiast, Senator Harry Reid (whose run has been supported by Bigelow for years) to organize an authoritative program and public funds for the survey of Paranormal Disneylend, and the survey of UFO observations constituted only a modest part of the full project. This group has been misleading Pentagon officials from the outset about the real objectives and the actual investigation carried out under the programme.

As the first reports began to flow, more and more hard questions began to be asked. While applying for the position of "special access", Senator Reid attempted to conceal Paranormal Disneyland, but his motion was rejected and had a counterproductive effect. alternatively of hiding the program, he drew attention to it. And erstwhile Pentagon officials yet figured out what the show was truly doing, they turned the dollar hen, hoping this dead body would never fall out of the closet.

It was only Louis Elizondo who took the chance to claim the program's nickname and contacted journalist, UFO-enthusiastic Leslie Kean. He told her a partially imaginary story, from which she again removed any paranormal elements, leaving only UFO observations. And so the communicative came to us about how the Pentagon was seriously studying UFOs, inactive uncritically duplicated.

The media besides does not rush to study the actual version of events, due to the fact that the attention of the audience curious in UFOs is already focused on fresh revelations of signalists. The intriguing communicative of alien visits is much better than uncertainty and critical voices.

Skeptics ask, saucers fly on

One might ask: who cares about the truthfulness of the communicative described 7 years ago in the fresh York Times? possibly she should. due to the fact that if you compose about UFOs more frequently and more seriously than before, then let's be clear: the full interest is built on this first text, which importantly increased the credibility of UFO phenomena and investigation on it. (Since then, even an alleged signaler has appeared, who claims that Americans not only recovered flying saucers from the disasters, but besides has the bodies of their pilots). On the way, working groups were initiated in the Pentagon to survey UFOs, and more late even a separate institution, AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office). NASA besides announced its commitment.

The text from the fresh York Times is already a distant past, but as Steven Greenstreet rightly asks in his coverage, "Where would we be today, if it were truthfully reported in 2017 that Senator Harry Reid had repaid his sponsor by donating $22 million from taxpayers' money to survey UFOs, ghosts and werewolfs in Paranormal Disneyland?". And it didn't end there, due to the fact that the communicative of UFOs goes on and on and on and on, and the speech is given by the same narrow group of well settled enthusiasts. People who appear present in public as independent journalists, erstwhile military, civilian contractors, and even signalers, are profoundly connected, and their engagement in UFOs or another paranormals can be traced back decades.

So did the tiny but dynamic UFO lobby manipulate the media, Pentagon and legislature to press their narrative? Doesn't that sound besides improbable to be possible? It may seem that way, but Americans have a past of likewise eccentric research. In the years of the Cold War they conducted a Stargate task which attempted to exploit paranormal visional and distant sensations to conduct spy action against the russian Union. There was besides a First Earth Battalion, composed in the likeness of X-men of soldiers with various superhuman skills – a well-known movie was created based on this story. The man who stared at the goats with George Clooney in the lead role.

It is besides worth reminding that Americans love UFOs and millions of them are convinced of the reality of this phenomenon – politicians, journalists and military are no exception here. Therefore, the next time another American signalist, general, scientist or politician presents shocking information about flying saucers, alien bodies, or visitors from parallel universes, it is worth looking not only at the communicative itself, but besides at uncovering out who and why is telling it.
