    This is probably the closest to any sort of disclosure we are going to get for a while, and I’m here for it. This is much more persuasive than a cellphone video; that the US government knows that UAP are both real and consider it technology that could change all of our lives is huge even without a known origin.

    It’s still surreal to me that an elected official is saying this, even more so considering he was the “skeptical” representative from the hearing.

    Edit: Added more to my statement.

    I wonder if Burlison let slip something he shouldn’t have with this statement. Even if these members of Congress didn’t learn anything new today, they could have some information that they have known about but haven’t gone public with.

      I mean you watch that video of the sphere cruising through a town and you have to wonder what the locomotive force is if it’s not a CGI fake.

        My thoughts exactly. Something “appears” to defy our current understanding of known physics.

        Either many individuals in high-ranking government, military, and scientific fields have been duped for 80+ years, or we’re seeing life-changing technology. I’m not entirely sure what other alternatives there might be.

        Edit: Corrected grammar and added additional thoughts.

          Its really hard for me to believe every single one if these former government people is just play acting or is dumb enough to think you can get rich writing a ufo book.

          If you take isolated cases you could think maybe so and so is doing this for a laugh or to get attention but the idea that every single one if them is doing that seems unlikely.

          What this doesn’t rule out is “that’s their job”. Either spreading misinfo for whatever reason or maybem dissemination of truth in a controlled manner.

          I could round and round all day.

          At the end of that day, my gut feeling is that this is a real thing, these people want to tell us but can’t say everything, and what they can say has been authorized as a slow drip to get it into popular culture.

    If this is what i think is… “tinker toy” versions will be in reach of every machinist on youtube, but controlled flight will be far more difficult.

        I’m not sure what you would call it, but what I’m thinking about is a synthesis of several machines that gives you a “repulsor” type effect. It’s about as stable as trying to float one magnet atop another (which is to say… very unstable). It is what I think the notsee bell device was, and amounts to a lawn mower engine connected to a wimshurst machine to an “alternator” (not in the automotive sense, but in the selecting alternating charge sense). There are hints of this effect from the 1800’s, and in the less-heralded details of the bob lazar story.

      They did “crack” the EMDrive, in that they discovered it was just the voltage pushing against the earth’s magnetic field.
