I don’t understand what Musk has to do with this article. why was he quoted?
Least irrelevant corporate news quote
Probably something along the lines of- “Musk does spacey stuff therefore he knows about aliens!” You know, because he’s both a rocket engineer and a xenobiologist.
Anyone who thinks there are aliens will be sorely disappointed. If there were, don’t you think that would have been the first thing Trump would have spilled? If for no other reason than he wanted to be the guy the aliens talk to when they say “Take me to your leader”.
I’d imagine the last thing the Pentagon would want to do would be to tell Trump about any of this. Some members of congress are pretty unhappy that they’ve not been read into the UFO stuff and so can’t provide oversight so it’s not implausible that POTUS would be kept in the dark too.
I think it was generally recognized that he is a grade A moron.
It’s crazy how mainstream ufo talk has become.
Half of it is people who think we’re talking about aliens, the other half know it’s just about other countries spying on the USA with advanced drones.
The comments from the politicians suggest they’re not referring to advanced tech coming from another country.
There’s legit UFO incidents, but they aren’t aliens or supernatural. Different governments testing different technologies, sometimes prototype gets seen.
When people say “well we don’t have that technology” I like to remind them of the many different technologies only the US military had access to decades before their public release.
It’s crazy how mainstream ufo talk has become.
I speculated two things in the 90s to a group of friends and family, I think possibly during the same conversation. I predicted both these things to occur by the time we were in our 60s.
- We’d be legally able to sit on our porch and smoke a joint.
- The US Gov would reveal conclusive evidence of extraterrestrial activity verified to have occurred at some point in the history of our planet, after a period of normalizing it through popular media.
I was only really serious about the first one, but the second comment was triggered by what I perceived as a spate of UFO movies and shows that spiked within a few years around the time of Independence Day.
So far I’ve got 50% accuracy, and still a few years to go, so I’ve got my fingers crossed. 😁👽
Everyone in the intelligence community … are we allowed to talk about modern drone technology now? Waits to see what is revealed.
I am confused by the headline… How is JFK records related to UFO information…
They were “declassified” somewhat recently. The title isn’t saying that they’re related, but that the UFO secrets will be declassified like the JFK ones were.
I put declassified in quotes because I’m pretty sure the JFK documents were heavily redacted still.
Got it. Ty
The TRUTH is that brain-eating Aliens did visit earth; they landed at a UFO convention and died of malnutrition.
Is there a Lemmy equivalent of ForwardsFromGrandma?
Why were they classified to begin with if there was nothing to hide?
Even if there’s no alien technology, reports will show capabilities and limitations of US radars and other methods of detecting foreign objects. And there’s likely stuff about US experimental craft in there as well. Even if outdated, that’s something that the DOD isn’t going to want out there.
Great points.
My concern was that they’d be hiding how powerful their tech is, but you make it sound like they could also be covering up its weaknesses.
Those are two different ways of looking at the same thing, since either way lets other countries know how to do things undetected.
Hm. I would imagine if their tech was so advanced, it’d be possible other nations wouldn’t be able to compete with it.
Of course, keeping them in the dark would let them advance even further while their adversaries ‘relax.’
Even the best tech has its weakness’s and blind spots, for example if memory serves me right modern body armor isnt exactly immune to arrows and bolts. Plus some tech produces weird blind spots by being too good, if you’ve got a radar that can detect every bird in 100 mile radius you need to filter out birds but now small drones are also most likely filtered out.

Yes, but that doesn’t mean enemies’ technology is advanced enough to exploit it.
I used the crossbow and bow example with body armor for a reason. Brute forcing something with seemingly simple tech can be rather effective. Sure your super fancy computerized lock may have a million combinations and can change its code at random but ive got a blowtorch from the 50s and a hammer. You see what I mean simple tech can exploit more advanced tech if used properly.
