Marco Rubio is Taking UFOs Seriously and He Thinks You Should Too

Newsweek. Dozens of men and women we have entrusted with the defense of our country are telling us about encounters with unidentified aircraft with capabilities we do not fully understand, Rubio said in exclusive comments ahead of a 60 Minutes interview that will air this weekend. We cannot allow the stigma of UFO s to keep us from seriously investigating these encounters.
UFOs, long dismissed and relegated to movies about aliens visiting earth and breathless message board posts, have begun to shed the farce label in recent years after the release of footage of high-profile U.S. military encounters with aircraft of unknown origin.
It was after 1 a.m. when Mark Kelly approached the lectern to address a small crowd of cheering supporters in Tucson on Election Night 2020. The former astronaut and retired Navy captain had just toppled Sen. Martha McSally to flip a seat vital to Democrats’ efforts to wrest Senate control from Republicans. And for the first time in 70 years, the Democratic Party held both of Arizona’s upper chamber seats.
In his remarks that night, Kelly invoked John McCain’s legacy and pledged to try to live up to his reputation as a maverick with a backbone of steel – a lawmaker who was willing to stand up to his party’s leadership when he thought it was wrong.

The military UFOplot has, somehow, thickened yet again: The Inspector General of the Department of Defense is itself investigating the Pentagon’s program to investigate reports of unidentified aerial phenomena.
Advertisement The top investigatory and oversight watchdog at the Pentagon announced the “subject evaluation” in a light-on-details letter that clarified its scope is to “determine the extent to which the DoD has taken actions regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).” The letter also stated that the Inspector General plans to perform the evaluation at the “Offices of the Secretary of Defense, Military Services, Combatant Commands, Combat Support Agencies, Defense Agencies, and the Military Criminal Investigative Organizations,” as well as others that may turn up during the investigation. The investigation is slated for May 2021, meaning it has either already begun or will soon.
