I know what I'm about to say is going to be controversial to a number of people who study the UFO/UAP issue. Based on past reactions, some will immediately accuse me of promoting a "threat narrative." If that's the way this goes down, I accept that. I'm simply afraid that our current search for "data" is just another attempt to prove to skeptics that UFOs are real. We know they are real and we've known that for decades. It's time to move beyond that with at least some of our energy to try to find out who they are and why they're here. My bottom line? I'm worried. It is time to consider the UFO/UAP reality a national security threat (and likely a global threat) and, if it is not, then it is up to the governments of the world to share the photos, videos, data, studies, reports, witnesses, and other related evidence that prove it otherwise. Enough is enough. There are three reasons I'm concerned about what may be happening: 1) UAP are continually interested in nuclear forces around the world, going back to the development of the atomic bomb in the 1940s, and continuing through today. They've shown the ability to switch on and off our missiles. The explanation of Chinese drones simply could not be sufficient, given that China didn't even have an Air Force until 1949. And there is no evidence to suggest that in the early years of these reports that any military power on Earth (Russia, China, U.S.) had access to the level of advanced technology reported back then through today. 2) There are simply too many accounts of some form of non-consensual interaction with humans, and I'm no longer willing to discount the tens (or hundreds) of thousands of such cases that have been reported over many decades and across many nations as fraud or insanity. No one seems willing to include the abduction phenomenon in the current "search for data" discussion. I am. I don't like it at all. As a sidebar to this, there are also a large number of cases, confirmed by the U.S. government, where humans have been injured when in close contact with this phenomenon. 3) These Others who appear to be among us have not shared knowledge of their existence or why they are here in the first place, let alone why they are interested in our nuclear weapons or our bodies. They enter our military bases and our bedrooms with equal stealth. This is simply unacceptable. If Russia or China were doing this, we would be in a state of war with them over it. I've long suspected that what drives the cover-up isn't just potential disruption of energy markets as some people would like us to believe. The phenomenon as we experience it seems extremely strange, and I imagine our motivations may be equally strange when it comes to dealing with it. I believe the problem is that the truth is either so bizarre as to be incomprehensible, or it is frightening and potentially hugely disruptive, or both. I call for "confirmation" or "disclosure" not because I think it will be all good news, but because a basic right of human life on Earth should be to know the essence of our reality. The folks who will likely take me on over promoting a 'threat narrative' often say that if these Others meant us harm then they would already have done it. I don't buy that argument. If we're talking about a Non-Human Intelligence, then they may see time differently than we do. As it is, the U.S. often thinks in terms of four years for our presidential elections, and long-range planning is the exception and not the rule. Other nations may see things in a longer view like decades. But an NHI? What if they see things over a time span of a thousand years? Or ten thousand years? Then the eight decades since the end of WWII would be but a blip in time. They could easily be moving from surveillance to action and be right on schedule. I don't know this answer, but I do believe I have a right to know it to the extent it is knowable. I'm with Ronald Reagan when, during the Cold War, his policy toward the Soviet Union was "trust, but verify." We have apparently trusted too long without verification. If there is definitive proof that what is going on is either benign or even positive, then let's see it. Otherwise, we need to proceed with caution. If there are human institutions that have learned otherwise, it's time for them to share their work. You may not share these views, but we should at least all agree that we're all in this together.
