Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're looking at internal Watchdog calls out
Pentagon. That's correct, Internal
Watchdog calls out Pentagon. You have to ask yourself how bad
are things getting when your own watchdog has to call you out for
your bad behavior. This is from politico.com Title

Pentagon's UFO Tracking Effort Subtitle says the DoD has no
overarching UAP policy. A report says I would disagree
with that. I would say that the overall the
overarching policy is to hide this stuff.
This is written by Matt Berg January 25th, 2024 The Defense
Department's effort to identify UFOs as uncoordinated and could
have overlooked threats to the United States, according to an
unclassified version of report from the Pentagon's internal
watchdog released Thursday. Yes, and what you'd like to have
a look at that classified version.
In the report, originally released last August but
containing classified sections, the DU DS Inspector General
reviewed the Department's policies and procedures for
detecting, reporting, and analyzing UFO reports that have
flooded the department in recent years.
After an investigation, the IG found that the Defense
Department doesn't have a coordinated approach, has
developed varying processes for collecting and analyzing UFO
reports, and has largely excluded regional military
commands, which are responsible for detecting and deterring
threats against the United States and developing policies.
You can kind of see what's happening here.
All this data is being siloed, as they say, or
compartmentalized. They're going to make sure that
only a few people have access to it, And that's what it looks
like to me. We determined that the DoD has
no overarching UAP policy, and as a result, it lacks assurance
that national security and flight safety threats to the
United States from UAP had been identified and mitigated, the
report said, using the acronym for Unidentified Anomalous
Phenomena. Yeah, let's just call them UFOs,
which is how the government refers to UFOs.
The UFO issue flared up last year after a highly anticipated
House hearing in which lawmakers bashed the Pentagon's lack of
transparency about how it was handling reports.
The unclassified IG report was released given the significant
public interest, according to a press release.
Well, once again, they're handing you what they are
calling it unclassified. That just means that all the
goods has been blacked out. This coming from a department
that cannot account for $1.55 trillion, half of it's stuff,
according to the report. DoD officials who spoke with the
IG said they had been waiting for comprehensive guidance from
leaders before developing their own strategies.
The Inspector General found that the Pentagon's response to UFO
incidents is uncoordinated and concentrated within each
military department, the report reads.
Well, of course they all want to get their little piece of the
pie. The Defense Department has
attempted to address concerns from those who have reported UFO
sightings, unveiling a secure form in October that service
members and government employees can use to report sightings of
the phenomena to a government office.
In the report, DoD offices largely agreed with or addressed
recommendations from the Inspector General.
Wow. Yeah, this, this tells you the
government, that the legislative body of Congress, Congress and
the Senate, they're giving these guys all the tools, all the
money that they need to report these things.
And then what happens? Nothing.
Same old, same. They're not reporting them.
They're not putting things together to make it easier for
people to report them. That we can go back here and
just see what happened a few months ago.
This article here is from cbc.ca.
Retired Air Force officer claims US covering up long standing
knowledge of UFOs. Pentagon denies claims US has
programmed to retrieve and reverse engineers UFOs.
This is why we have these questions.
It's because we're not being told the truth.
And even when we do get reports, unclassified reports, their
major parts of those reports have been blacked out.
The US is concealing a long standing program that retrieves
and reverse engineers unidentified flying objects.
A former Air Force intelligence officer testified Wednesday
before Congress courses what a year ago.
The Pentagon has denied. His claims were made at a
hearing before a House Oversight subcommittee, retired Major
David Grush. Highly anticipated testimony was
part of Congress's latest foray into the world of UAPS, or
Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, which is the official
term the government uses instead of UFOs.
While the study of mysterious aircraft or object often evokes
talk of aliens and little green men, Democrats and Republicans
in recent years have pushed for more research into UAPS as a
matter of national security. Because the concerns that
sightings observed by pilots may be tied to US adversaries.
Gresh said he was asked in 2019 by the head of a government task
force on UAPS to identify all highly classified programs
relating to the task force mission at the time Grush was
detailed to the US National Reconnaissance Office, the
agency that operates US spy satellites.
I was informed in the course of my official duties of a multi
decade UAP Crash Retrieval and Reverse Engineering program, to
which I was denied access, he said.
So if you have all these little fifetums being set up
individually, these little individual tiny kangles within
the DoD, and it's not hard to believe.
Now we're being told by an internal DoD watchdog that these
guys do not have an organized way of reporting this stuff.
It's just haphazard. There's nothing overarching and
you've got all these little competing departments that are
working to gain information, to gain knowledge, to gain
understanding of what these things are doing, but to keep
that knowledge away from even other departments within the
DoD. That's how compartmentalize this
whole thing has got. It says ask whether the US
government had information about extraterrestrial life.
Gross said the US likely has been aware of non human activity
since the 1930s. Notice he said non human?
He didn't say extraterrestrial stuff.
Could be, it could it could be. That's all interdimensional.
Who knows? The Pentagon has denied Gross's
claims of a cover up in the statement.
Defense Department spokesman Susan Gal where we see her name
a lot, don't. We said investigators have not
discovered any verifiable information to substantiate
claims that any programs regarding their position or
reverse engineering of extraterrestrial materials have
existed in the past or exist currently.
Well, just give us some of those blacked out pages, Susan.
The statement did not address UFOs that are not suspected of
being extraterrestrial objects. Grush says he became a
government whistleblower after his discovery and has faced
retaliation for coming forward. He declined to be more specific
about the retaliatory tactics, citing an ongoing investigation.
It was very brutal and very unfortunate.
Some of the tactics, they used to hurt me both professionally
and personally, he said. Representative Glenn Grothman
Republic in Wisconsin, shared the panel's hearing and joked to
a packed audience. Welcome to the most exciting
subcommittee in Congress this week.
There was bipartisan interest in gracious claims and a more sober
tone than other recent hearings featuring whistleblowers
celebrated by Republicans and criticized by Democrats.
Lawmakers in both parties asked Crush about his study of UFOs
and the consequences he faced, and how they could find out more
about the government's UAP programs.
I take it that you're arguing what we need is a real
transparency in reporting system so we can get some clarity on
what's going on out there. Called Representative Jamie
Raskin, Democrat, Maryland. Well, of course that's what we
need. That's what they're just saying
right now. This in house watchdog group is
telling the Department of Defense listen, you do not have
a good UFO reporting system in place.
You need to do something because it's affecting national
security. Some lawmakers criticize the
Pentagon for not providing more details in a classified briefing
or releasing images that could be shown to the public.
In previous hearings, Pentagon officials showed a video taken
from an FAT military plane that showed an image of a balloon
like shape look more like an orb to me.
Pentagon officials in December said they had received several
hundreds of new reports since launching A renewed effort to
investigate reports of UFOs. We have not seen anything and
we're still very early on that would lead us to believe that
any of the objects that we have seen are of alien origin modeled
Moultrie the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and
security set at the time. Any unauthorized system in our
airspace we deem as a threat to safety.
But yet you have by your own admission all kinds of balloons
flying around. We could start with those.
I don't see these guys doing a single thing to make our
airspace more secure to make our country more secure.
Now we'll finish up with this article here from newsnation.com
going back to this whole jellyfish UFO that Corbel
released, another one of these videos released with very poor
chain of custody. It brings up a lot of good
questions and then you get some people kind of coalescing around
it, get a lot of commentary on it, get a lot of views and but
still not really the correct and most efficient way to provide
disclosure to the citizens of the United States.
This says Pentagon jellyfish. UAP response raises questions,
Corbel said the object was officially designated at UAP by
the Pentagon. The Pentagon responded issuing a
statement saying no comment. News Nation has not
independently verified the video footage.
Classic case what this guy's talking about, what this
watchdog says they're not doing a good job of reporting UFUFOS
in the Defense Department. There is no overarching policy,
apparently. If somebody feels like giving
Jeremy Korbel a video of a UFO flying over a military base,
then that's just fine, that's just fine.
If they don't feel like giving it to him and he releases it,
then he could be in a lot of trouble.
So you see, we do not have a hard fashion rule about
releasing this stuff and it's really allows certain people to
gain the system. There's articles with my Tom
Palmer dated January 22nd, 2024. A newly surfaced video of an
alleged Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon resembling a
jellyfish has sky watchers, pilots, and experts wondering
what it is. Now remember the I think it was
a Marine told us that that they were calling it a spaghetti
monster. The buzz has been so big the
Pentagon responded, issuing a statement saying no comment and
that it wouldn't verify the video's authenticity.
Right there. We probably don't need you to.
The Pentagon's response, or lack thereof, has only fueled further
in speculation. The video in question was
released by investigative journalist Jeremy Korbel, a
prominent figure in the UFO community known for his work and
investigations into UA PS. Korbel says military pilots shot
the footage over AUS Joint Operation Space in Iraq around
2018. And I think that that Marine
said 2017. According to Corbel, the object
was officially designated a UAP by the Pentagon and the footage
was taken with a thermographic forward-looking Infrared radar.
News Nation has not independently verified this
footage. In a statement, Department of
Defense spokesperson Susan GAO. That's Gough.
If I'm pronouncing that incorrectly, somebody can tell
me says we do not comment on the authenticity of alleged DoD
material that may have been leaked.
Despite this, she emphasized the DO DS commitment to openness and
accountability while balancing the the necessity to protect
sensitive information, leaving some don't wonder about the
apparent contradiction. Well, maybe she could tell us
where the missing $1.55 trillion are, about $9000 per taxpayer.
As I recall, Corbel said the DoD has not debunked the video
because it is likely on the verge of confirming its
authenticity. The reason why they're not at
this point able to deny it is because absolutely they're going
to have to confirm it, he said. Corbel emphasized his and
journalist George Knapps 3 1/2 year effort to develop sources
and and verify the leaked material.
Some people could say create a limited hangout because like I
said, we do not have a good chain of custody on this stuff.
We have done our due diligence and our DoD will be put in the
corner, he said. They have to be honest with the
American public on this video. I'm not sure there's a lot of
things that they haven't been honest with this.
He goes on and says Michael Sankowski, a Marine.
OK, this is the guy we talked about in the podcast the other
day who spoke with News Nation was an Intelligence Surveillance
Recognizance Tactical controller at the base in Iraq in 2018.
He said he was shown the full video and the soldiers weren't
sure what to make of it. Saskowski said the video was
taken from an Aerostat, an intelligence surveillance
balloon that looks like a blimp and was over the base.
It has cameras on it to keep a lookout for threats.
However, Corbel countered this claim, stating that the video
was confiscated immediately after being filmed.
That's the problem with Jeremy. Stuff is chain of custody.
Now, how are we ever gonna get the bottom of the stuff if we
don't know who provided the recording?
There was a dramatic set of events that occurred, he said.
It was confiscated immediately from the aerostat that was
filming above the base. So what you're seeing is the
first ever designated UAP by our government and multiple
governments, UAP or UFO. It's an incursion of a military
base in a combat zone, but we don't know because Jeremy
doesn't tell us who gave him the video, Corbell said additional
footage of the Jellyfish UAP exists and that there are more
videos related to the incident. There are more videos.
You're not seeing it, he said. I'm going to be able to tell
inside of the right facility exactly where our Senate
Intelligence Committee can find the rest of the videos, Corbell
said the extended videos are approximately 30 minutes long
and allegedly shows the UF OS trans medium capability, its
abrupt descent into the water for 17 minutes and its rapid
departure. The problem is Journeys made a
lot of claims. We got this video, but we don't
know where the video came from, so we have no way of knowing how
reliable it is. And it seems like right now it's
just trying to build up tension and drama and, you know,
suspense for the release of the rest of this video.
It says. News Nation special
correspondent Ross Coulter called the Pentagon's response
to the video very revealing. I must say.
It's very revealing for what it doesn't say.
It doesn't reveal A categorical denial, he said.
It's the late it's the last resort a government's and
intelligence services when they don't want to answer a question.
Essentially, it's neither a confirm or deny.
So there you have it. There's our glorified Department
of Defense just either not knowing or not caring how to
report a UFO. And the problem has gotten so
bad that their own internal watchdog has told them that
they're risking national security and they need to do a
better job of reporting these UFOs.
Until next time, this is UFO warning.
Over now.
