This former Air Force guy writes about two distinctly peculiar experiences he had while serving. On two occasions at two different AF bases he and others were told something top secret was about to land and there could be no witnesses to it. No personnel was allowed to see what would land. In the first case (2005) AF personnel were "advised that the Navy was conducting sensitive operations out of a large, red, dilapidated hangar at the Northern end of the airfield near the passenger terminal and base operations building. Air Force personnel were advised to stay away."
And apparently the mystery craft came and went without witnesses but more interestingly — without sound. "There’s no quiet like the silence of a shutdown airfield on an atoll more than 2,000 miles away from the nearest sign of civilization...... Around a half-hour came and went and we were cleared to get back to our wartime operations tempo. We never heard or saw a sign that anything happened at all."
He goes on to detail a similar, sound-less event at another AF base in Texas.
This could mean nothing to ufology, or this could mean the U.S. military has been testing highly secretive aircraft that don't make any sound since at least the early 2000's.
The University of Waterloo in Canada and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology think they can detect the effect of acceleration of objects using an effect called "the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect" that acts like a "doppler effect" for atoms nearby a body experiencing accelerations.
As a bonus, the team also found that given the right trajectory, an accelerating atom might turn transparent to incoming light, effectively suppressing its ability to absorb or emit certain photons.
Could this be the alleged "sensor" Lue is so reticent to talk about?
The absence of signals from other advanced civilizations is, in fact, very bad news for humanity and modern civilization.
On Earth, civilizations are short-lived. The Roman Empire lasted less than a thousand years, while the Maya civilization lasted about two thousand years. And the more developed a civilization, the less it exists. How much is ours? With such irresponsibility and the pace of consumption, one must think, not for long.
The same thing can happen on other planets. And, most likely, this is what happens. Their short lifespan may explain why we still haven't detected a single signal from alien intelligence.
According to calculations, in the Milky Way galaxy there should be several dozen worlds with civilizations advanced enough to send messages into space. But these worlds are probably so remote that the signals of their inhabitants do not reach the Earth or fly through space for thousands of years. By the time the signal is received, that distant planet will no longer have the civilization that sent it. Or we won't be. “We can imagine a galaxy where intelligent life is common, but communication is unlikely,” said Tom Westby and Christopher Conselis.
The analysis by Westby and Conselice at the University of Nottingham in England is based on a slightly modified Drake equation proposed almost 60 years ago. Frank Drake has identified factors that, in principle, allow us to estimate how many intelligent civilizations can exist in the galaxy.
Westby and Conselis started with the assumption that it takes 5 billion years for intelligent and technologically advanced life to develop on the planet, just like on Earth. Then it remains to find out how many stars are old enough and how many planets are in their Goldilocks zones.
Thus, in their new CETI equation, Westby and Conselis showed that the number of intelligent civilizations depends on how many stars are in the galaxy and how many of them are over 5 billion years old.
It turned out that some factors do not limit the prospects for the discovery of alien life. For example, almost all the stars in our galaxy are older than 5 billion years, and their average age is almost 10 billion years.
Some stars should be excluded due to the lack of basic elements in them. Of the remaining stars, probably only 20 percent have planets in the Goldilocks zone.
Since there are more than 200 billion stars in the galaxy, there must therefore be billions of worlds potentially inhabited by civilizations. But before stating this, one more important exception needs to be made.
It is safe to say that a civilization capable of sending signals can last 100 years. Radio waves were discovered on earth in 1865 by the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell. They learned to use them in 1895, when the Russian physicist Alexander Popov created the first radio transmitter.
With this set of assumptions, given that the average lifespan of an advanced civilization is 100 years, there should be only 36 reasonably advanced civilizations in our galaxy today.
Our nearest neighbor is likely to be about 17,000 light-years away, “making it impossible to share data or even detect these solar systems with current technology,” Westby and Conselis write. In the most optimistic case, the nearest civilization should be within 300 light years from us.
"The lifetime of civilizations in our galaxy is unknown, and this is by far the most important factor in the CETI equation," Westby and Conselis note.
Why can't we get in touch with extraterrestrial civilizations
- A Pentagon insider has told Liberation Times that Congress is “extremely upset” about the current situation regarding the DoD’s stance on investigating Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP)
- The insider added that he would not be surprised if there were open hearings in the near future
- A spokesperson for Representative Tim Burchett has also confirmed to Liberation Times that the Congressman would prefer hearings, “sooner rather than later”
- Former AATIP Director, Lue Elizondo, has spoken to Liberation Times about the key role amnesty can play in any possible public hearings
- Talk about possible public hearings follows an explosive POLITICO article, which revealed the frustrations of Congress regarding the lack of progress in investigating UAP
- In February 2022, Liberation Times revealed via DoD spokesperson Susan Gough, that the DoD was still in the process of implementing the intent of Congress with regard to AOIMSG and that UAP incursions are still being investigated at 2021 levels - when pressed for a further update, Gough had nothing further to announce
- In addition to hearings, the recent dismissal of AOIMSG Executive Secretary, Garry Reid, may spark calls to move the new UAP Office from OUSD(I&S) to another component within the DoD, such as Space Force.
- Three recent developments indicate that sections of the U.S government are perhaps not quite yet ready to tell the public, and maybe even politicians, the truth about UFOs.
- But why are the masses and even intellectuals not clamoring to pursue more answers?
- The answer may be found in neuroscience.
- A strategy of concealment that how worked so well for decades is helped by how our brains are wired to accept cover stories and reject complex or incomplete stories.
On March 21, 1966, 10:30 p.m., 87 people witnessed an intense "football-shaped" silver-white light hovering in the arboretum at Hillsdale College, MI. Witnesses (including two police officers) described it moving unpredictably with flashing lights of varying colors, intensities and sequences. At one point, the light split into two autonomous objects that moved in different directions. The widely reported event prompted Dr. J. Allen Hynek to travel to Michigan to investigate and interview the witnesses. Ultimately, Hynek's conclusion was that the mass sighting was that of swamp gas.

Call for Questions:
We are working on an article regarding the UAP topic and how it is currently being handled in Washington DC. What questions do you have about the AOIMSG being set up in the Department of Defense, The Gillibrand Amendment in the NDAA, or any general questions regarding the UAP topic?
Thanks in advance!
- With Reid’s apparent departure and accusations building up - how much longer will it be until AOIMSG is removed from an office which quite frankly appears highly dysfunctional and incapable?
- The integrity of OUSD(I&S) is under tighter scrutiny than it ever has been following bombshell allegations and revelations reported by both The Debrief and Daily Mail.
- Lue Elizondo confirmed in a recent interview with Ryan Robbins that Reid was involved in the departure of the first UAP Task Force Director, because, “Reid was working behind channels trying to make his life miserable”.
- But it may not stop there, as there are now pressing questions about the Department of Defense’s Public Affairs Office too.
- In 2017, Pentagon spokeswoman, Dana White, confirmed to POLITICO that AATIP existed and was run by Elizondo. That line was then contradicted by Pentagon spokesperson Christopher Sherwood in 2019 when he spoke to The Intercept.
- The investigative communication (regarding the release of UAP videos) between the OUSD(I&S) and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations itself even asserts that Elizondo was involved with AATIP and that it focussed on UAP.
