We’ve been getting inquiries about what we think about the unidentified objects that the U.S. military has shot down. Three such objects at this writing, plus the Chinese balloon. Those who have contacted us are concerned that they are alien vessels and that this is just the beginning. Interestingly, without exception the writers are people who have never expressed any interest about UFOs to us, who have not read any of the books or spent any time researching the subject. So that tells us that the subject of an alien presence is something that exists just below the consciousness of most of us. An archetype?
As for our friends who are very interested in the subject and have been for years, decades actually, they seem to have a more tempered approach to these recent events. We’re of the same mind. We aren’t shouting the aliens are here. I told you so. Well, actually, we think they are here, but these objects are not them. Typically, UFOs don’t drift along with the wind like balloons. They display maneuvers that are unlike any known craft making impossible high-speed turns and sometimes simply vanishing.
Not surprising, our friend Whitley Strieber has something to say about the objects. Whitley is probably more linked in popular culture to alien contact than any other living person, based on his encounters and numerous books about them. Synchronistically, as I (Rob) am writing here, Whitley just called Trish and they are talking astrology and the timing of the release of his new book.
So here is what he says about the objects. This was published on Unknown Country.
“If this is an action taken by our visitors, they are assessing our reactions. If so, then objects will also appear over Russia if they are not already doing so. Many years ago, I understood that conditions under which they might act would be the immediate danger of nuclear war and/or environmental collapse. Both things seem closer than ever at this time. If this is them and they are acting, then there will be more focused and concrete developments over whatever timeline they have chosen.
On balance, though, if I had to bet, I’d say that the following scenario explains what’s happening:
- The US developed a technology that would seek and find slow moving airborne objects and deployed it.
- The Chinese were surprised when we were able to detect and shoot down one of the balloons they had been sending over our country for years.
- Now that the Chinese knew we had this capability, there was no reason to keep it under wraps and we began to use it to shoot down low-powered slow moving dirigibles that run for long durations on a combination of batteries and solar power, and contain miniaturized electronic sensors and possibly optics.
- The one that interfered with jet sensors was equipped with countermeasures that would steer it away from civilian aircraft and the emanations from this system was what the military jet, with its much more complex signalling profile, detected.
- By claiming that they have detected a device and are planning to shoot it down, the Chinese are trying to make it appear as if they possess the same technology, as they may.
And then again, if it is the visitors it won’t surprise me. I learned long ago never to second-guess that remarkable, complex and secretive presence.”
We’re looking forward to reading Whitley’s new book, THEM. It will be released on March 23.
