A new, classified intelligence report looking into aerial phenomena witnessed by Navy pilots says that most of the 120+ incidents over the last 20 years are not accounted for by any secret U.S. military operations, according to the New York Times’ discussion with “senior administration officials.” (That is, to ensure that a UFO is indeed “unidentified,” reports would be checked against highly classified secret projects.)
The Times then credits Barack Obama with increasing the UFO speculation, citing his recent comment: “What is true, and I’m actually being serious here is that there is footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are.’’ But, as a tag-along, the Times has one senior official who admits that the aerial sightings may be evidence of experimental technology of Russia or China, in particular hypersonic flight.
What is missing from the Times account, and from the public discussion, is the reason the Russians turned to breakthrough military technologies. Vladimir Putin announced for all to hear, on March 1, 2018, that Russia is pushing a crash program in hypersonic and related technologies; on the reasoning that the Anglo-American push up against their borders, and their drive for nuclear confrontation was both real and intolerable. Such a Russian crash program is designed to destroy the fantasy amongst some in the West that a nuclear war can be fought and won. Putin: “All that ultimately (becomes) just pointless for those who initiate and do that.… I hope that everything that was said today will bring any potential aggressor down to Earth.”
