Senator Harry Reid about Pentagon's UFO-program, AATIP


The link above leads to an article by George Knapp and Matt Adams for the "I-Team." Knapp and Adams write about a document from 2009, "in which Reid made the case for protecting and expanding the project." 

The quote is about the Pentagon's UFO program, called AATIP, which is well-known among UFO enthusiasts. Paul Dean, who studies UFOs, has discovered a new name and acronym besides AATIP. The question is whether these different names represent separate UFO projects. "Reid" is Senator Harry Reid, who initiated the military study of UFO encounters in 2007.

According to Knapp and Adams' article from June 28, 2018, Senator Reid in a 2009 letter to the deputy secretary of defence said, "that the AATIP study was already a success, and that exotic technologies could be catastrophic if used by our adversaries."

Why is that statement interesting? First, Senator Reid is saying that the AATIP was a success almost immediately after its implementation. But perhaps most intriguing is that Senator Reid's statement goes against the spokesperson for the AATIP, who said something to the effect of: "We did not learn much and it was decided to spend the taxpayers' money on something else."

The Pentagon has said that the program ended in 2012. Luis Elizondo, the former director of AATIP and now at the "To the Stars Academy", has said that only the funding ended in 2012, but that the program was still running when he left his position as the director of AATIP.

The link above has also a 4 minutes short news clip with George Knapp interviewing Senator Harry Reid and Luis Elizondo about the 2009 document/letter. Very interesting in the clip is the segment with Dr Hal Puthoff talking to a science group in Las Vegas. Listen closely to what Dr Puthoff was telling the group of scientists.

 


The link to the New York Magazine leads to another interview - a more in-depth interview than the first link above - with Senator Harry Reid. In this article he goes into more detail about his involvement in the AATIP, why a scientific approach in the study of the UFO phenomenon is crucial, etc.

Below is a quote from Senator Harry Reid on the question of secrecy or not, or a cover-up or not, regarding information about the UFO-phenomenon.
Let me give you something that the press has totally failed and conjured. We have hundreds and hundreds of papers, pages of paper, that have been available since this was completed. Most all of it, 80 percent at least, is public. You know something? The press has never even looked at it. Not once. That’s where we are. I wanted it public, it was made public, and you guys have not even looked at it

 

Take care!
