The Pentagon finally admits it investigates UAP/UFOs

The following link https://nypost.com/2019/05/22/the-pentagon-finally-admits-it-investigates-ufos/ takes you to an article, and a short video interview with the founder of the website TheBlackVault.com, John Greenewald, Jr., in the New York Post, or The Post, from May 22, 2019.

I am aware of The Post not being the most reliable source, and the article has one misleading use of terms, which I will come to shortly. However, the video interview with Mr. Greenewald is sensible, and so too the comments in the article made by Nick Pope, a former official in the British Ministry of Defence in the 1990s.

According to The Post, it has got an exclusive statement from a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) spokesperson, Christopher Sherwood:

In a statement provided exclusively to The Post, a Department of Defense spokesman said a secret government initiative called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program “did pursue research and investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena.”

Now, it is the use of the term "unidentified aerial phenomena" (UAP) by the DoD and/or the Pentagon that many in the UFO community have taken notice of, and probably, reacted to and interpreted differently. The misleading use of terms in the article by The Post comes in the following paragraph:

And while the DOD says it shut down the AATIP in 2012, spokesman Christopher Sherwood acknowledged that the department still investigates claimed sightings of alien spacecraft. (My emphasis).

The DoD, and/or the Pentagon, have not used words as "alien spacecraft." Neither does UAP, UFO nor AAV (Anomalous Aerial Vehicle) mean "alien", "extraterrestrial", or "interdimensional".  Both UAP and UFO simply refers to something "unidentified", "unknown", or "unexplained."

If you know your ufo history, the amount of well-studied ufo cases and credible witnesses, and so on and so forth, you do not have to dramatize anything related to the UFO phenomena.

Furthermore, you would recognize - as Mr. Greenewald and Mr. Pope are doing - that even if the DoD and/or the Pentagon are not saying "alien spacecraft", their acknowledgement of investigating "unidentified aerial phenomena" (UAP), is significant. It is also unfortunate that The Post uses the words "alien spacecraft" in relation to the statement from Mr. Sherwood that "the department still investigates claimed sightings of ...". That is, I am quite certain that the term Mr. Sherwood used in his statement was "UAP" and not "alien spacecraft".

I believe that the DoD making an official statement of investigating UAP is, just like the U.S. Navy confirming its interest in UAP some weeks ago, another small step in an ongoing educational- and preparatory phase of the disclosure process of the UFO phenomena.

One thing I am quite sure of is, that none of these official statements since October 2017 (the press conference of "To The Stars Academy"), and December 2017 (The New York Time´s articles on the Pentagon´s black UFO program, AATIP), up until today, are neither random nor a coincidence. For example, I am quite sure that the latest news from the U.S. Navy and the DoD/the Pentagon, were planned to come just before "To The Stars Academy´s" documentary series "Unidentified", which will premiere on the History Channel on May 31, 2019.

According to the main figure in the six-part documentary, Luis Elizondo, "Unidentified" will reveal more material and information on UAP, similar to the UFO videos released in late 2017, and early 2018. A cheap PR trick, or a true statement? I believe the latter, but we can only be certain after the sixth and last episode.

So, I believe, we are seeing and experiencing a "conditioning" process of the general public´s perception of the UFO phenomena. The term "UFO" is going to be replaced by the less stigmatized term "UAP." Unidentified Aerial Phenomena is going to be a subject to have open, public and serious discussions about. Politicians, lawmakers, and scientists are going to be able to openly be interested in, publicly talk about, and study UAPs without fear of losing face or position.

I also leave a link to a website with credible information about the UFO phenomena, and which is good to follow if you are interested in the latest news on the UFO subject, disclosure, etc:

As always, do your own research, have both an open and a critical mind, and make up your own mind of what is going on with the UFO phenomena, disclosure (or not), and so forth.

Take care!
