U.S. Gov’t finally admits investigating UFOs

“Was it about UFOs? Of course,” this U.S. military official whispers with a grin of melodrama.

Though diverse and muddled in how they define exactly what it all means, many enigmatic characters share one common belief: unidentified flying objects are neither myth nor figment of overactive imaginations. With absolute conviction, they’ve all told me that UFOs are real.

Provided, of course, that nobody says it out loud.

After months of conducting interviews and uncovering previously undisclosed materials, Popular Mechanics is revealing that the U.S. government has since 2008 indeed had a definite interest in UFOs.

The Popular Mechanics report is very long and too complex to even summarize here. The author was able to read and report much still secret material that remains unavailable to the public.

To muddle matters, a revolving door of Pentagon spokespeople have successfully issued waves of contradictory statements about what the Department of Defense (DoD) did or didn’t do when it came to studying UFOs.

One way the information is still kept hidden was by contracting with a private firm, Bigelow Aerospace in Las Vegas. Reports kept within this contractor’s files, though they’ve been described to various secret congressional and military officials, were, as a result, not subject to being released under the Freedom of Information Act.

One of the dozens of reports was released to Popular Mechanics and is available to the public: Clinical Medical Acute & Subacute Field Effects on Human Dermal & Neurological Tissues.

Finding buried treasure

Huge hoard of coins found in Jersey Island, England, is recognized by Guiness as world largest

Discovered in January 2012, the collection of 69,347 coins was found in Jersey by amateur metal detector enthusiasts Reg Mead and Richard Miles, British news agency SWNS reports. The hoard is estimated to be worth approximately $13 million.

Mead and Miles were first tipped off about the find in the 1980s from an onlooker, but it had taken some time to locate it, dig it up and make sure it was authentic. The silver and gold coins were discovered under a hedge in a large mound of clay.

The least valuable coins in the hoard are worth $130. It has been designated as a “treasure” under the 1996 Treasure Act, which signifies the finders are entitled to a reward, though it officially belongs to the Queen.

The elephant in the living room

With all the attention on the China virus, we’re not looking at the far more serious annual “flu” that is going around the U. S.

As of Feb. 8, in the U.S., pneumonia and influenza mortality has been low, but 78 influenza-associated deaths in children have been reported so far this season. CDC estimates that so far this season in the U.S. there have been at least 22 million “flu” illnesses, 210,000 hospitalizations and 12,000 deaths from “flu. “

None were caused by the Chinese coronavirus which infects FIFTEEN (15) people in the U.S. and has killed none.

Almost all of these “flu” illnesses are caused by the “flu” or “common cold,” normally non-serious corona and influenza viruses discussed last week.

Also, among persons who’ve received the influenza vaccine, none of these 22 million illnesses were caused by the serious influenza viruses for which the flu vaccine provided protection.

  • Get the vaccine.
  • Wash your hands often.
  • Use sanitary wipes on shared surfaces like toys, phones, etc.
  • Don’t share hand towels. Use paper towels instead.
