The last few months have seen a big jump in reports and complaints about strange flying objects prompting airports to close and sparking state and federal investigations. UFO’s have been reported, debated, and debunked for more than 70 years, these days they’re known as UAP’s, and as Lisa Fletcher reports, there’s a new movement demanding transparency from the government.
The following is a transcript of a report from “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson.”

THOUGH WE ALL NOW CARRY CAMERA PHONES, THE IMAGES AND VIDEOS ARE STILL TERRIBLE… GRAINY AND HARD TO MAKE OUT
HERE RECENT UNEXPLAINED SIGHTINGS OF DRONES AND GROUPS OF DRONESTHAT HAVE PERPLEXED POLITICAL LEADERS AND WORRIED MANY RESIDENTS OF EAST COAST STATES.
pilot: “my gosh”
THE PENTAGON’S MULTIMILLION DOLLAR VIDEO SYSTEMS – THESE TAKEN BY NAVY F-18S – AREN’T MUCH BETTER IN TERMS OF QUALITY.
WHAT THESE SIGHTINGS HAVE IN COMMON IS UNCERTAINTY… THERE’S CLEARLY SOMETHING OUT THERE, BUT NO ONE IS SURE WHAT.
IT WAS BACK IN THE 1950s and 1960s WHEN UFOS REALLY BECAME A THING, JUST AS THE U-S AND SOVIET UNION WERE COMPETING UP IN SPACE AND FIGHTING THE COLD WAR DOWN ON EARTH
OUR SEEMING OBSESSION WITH POSSIBILITY OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE, SPAWNING COUNTLESS TV SHOWS AND MOVIES.
BUT IN RECENT YEARS THINGS HAVE BECOME SERIOUS WITH MULTIPLE CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS.
LATE LAST YEAR JON KOSLOSKI, THE PENTAGON’S UFO CHIEF DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED WHEN A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER SAW A STRANGE ORB IN THE SKY.
Kosloski: “He saw a blacker than black object, he said it was about the size of a Prius, 4 to 6 feet wide, and as he got 40 to 60 meters from the object, it tilted up about 45 degrees and then it shot up vertically, he says 10 to 100 times faster than any drone he’s seen before.
ALSO TESTIFYING RECENTLY, RETIRED NAVY REAR ADMIRAL TIM GALLAUDET
Tim Gallaudet: The now declassified video showed an unidentified flying object exhibiting flight and structural characteristics unlike anything in our arsenal.
WHAT HE’S DESCRIBING ARE A SERIES OF ENCOUNTERS BETWEEN NAVY JETS AND UNIDENTIFIED OBJECTS CAPTURED ON CAMERA IN 2015 OFF THE U-S EAST COAST BUT ONLY DECLASSIFIED IN 2020.
Gallaudet: And this was a small orb like object that was traveling at a relatively high rate of speed. But what was unique about it, it didn’t have any control surfaces. There was no exhaust and there was a formation of them.
Lisa: Did we try to intercept any of these?
Gallaudet: Well, that’s interesting. No, it’s not really a good idea to try to shoot down something if you don’t know what it is. (04:46): but they were observed and reported.
BUT IT’S WHAT HAPPENED NEXT THAT INSPIRED THE RETIRED ADMIRAL TO WONDER WHAT THE GOVERNMENT REALLY KNOWS ABOUT UAPs.
Gallaudet: And the interesting thing about that experience for me is the next day that I received that email and all the 20 or so subordinate commanders, the email was deleted from my computer. And I knew because of the fact that I’ve been read into special access programs, I pretty much concluded, okay, these UAP are being classified into a special access program.
WHAT THE PUBLIC HAS STARTED TO LEARN IN RECENT YEARS HAS COME THROUGH INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING AND WHISTLEBLOWERS LIKE DAVID GRUSCH A FORMER INTELLIGENCE OFFICER.
David Grusch: I was informed in the course of my official duties of a multi-decade crash retrieval and reverse engineering program.
Lisa: Do you believe David Grusch’s allegations?
Gallaudet: A hundred percent. He’s the person basically that broke this story that we’ve had a longstanding UAP crash retrieval program that we have knowledge of, even some of the biological remains of non-human intelligences that operate these objects.
Lisa: Based on everything, how long do you think the US government has had evidence of extraterrestrial life?
Gallaudet: Decades, and there’s a lots of press and pop culture about the Roswell incident, whether that was really a UFO crash, and I’m 99% certain it was because I know the people who’ve had access to that information and those materials, and again, I trust them, they’re credible.
IN THE SUMMER OF 2023, THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE CONTRADICTED GRUSCH’S CLAIMS SAYING IT HADN’T DISCOVERED ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE POSSESSION OR REVERSE-ENGINEERING OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL MATERIALS.
BUT THAT ANSWER, A STANDARD GOVERNMENT DENIAL USED FOR DECADES, NOW SEEMS INCREASINGLY AT ODDS WITH EVIDENCE AND MULTIPLE CREDIBLE WITNESSES.
FOR FULL MEASURE, I’M LISA FLETCHER IN WASHINGTON
Watch video here.

Notice none of the UFO shows bring on meteorologists or plasma physicists.+
Unlikely that aliens are enough like us that they would come to earth in space cars and be able to handle conditions on earth.
It’s just the word alien seems to mean human with minor mods to must people.
Study octopus. Or those rolling sea feather things that use salt water for blood. And they evolved on earth!
Imagine how unimaginable an actual extra terrestrial would be.
And yes I meant that sentence exactly like that.
