A new mainstream journalist joined the resistance today, dipping a toe into the entire UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena or UFOs) topic. Ezra Klein, opinion writer for the New York Times published a lengthy op-ed on the government’s interest in UAP and what the reaction would be from the world’s population if everyone was suddenly given incontrovertible evidence of extraterrestrial life or even alien technology. His article was originally titled “
Our Aliens, Ourselves,” but it was later changed to the more pragmatic, “
Even if You Think Discussing Aliens Is Ridiculous, Just Hear Me Out.” Klein starts off by providing a brief but well-crafted summary of all of the progress made on the UAP topic over the past few years and the increasing media coverage that it has received. He also points to the long-awaited UAP Task Force report that is due to be delivered to the Senate Select Intelligence Committee next month.

There was a strange twist in the story of the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force yesterday. Many of us have been awaiting the release of a report from the Task Force that was requested by the Senate Select Intelligence Committee and is due by June 25. But seemingly out of nowhere, a new player entered the field this week. The Department of Defense Inspector General’s office announced the beginning of an evaluation of most of the branches of the military in terms of what actions they have taken regarding the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, or what we used to call UFOs. You can read the full announcement at the IG’s website. Here are a couple of the key portions of the instructions they are giving.
A shady think tank with ties to the UK government has claimed Tehran is trying to influence the Holyrood elections. Despite a total lack of supporting evidence, mainstream journalists have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.
