UFO Hoax or Strategy – Was It NECESSARY?

The Pentagon has been orchestrating a decades-long disinformation campaign about UFOs to protect classified military programs, while simultaneously a Congressional probe targets NewsGuard for potential free speech violations and government collusion.

Pentagon’s UFO Deception Campaign Exposed

A groundbreaking Wall Street Journal investigation has uncovered that much of America’s UFO mythology stems not from alien encounters but from deliberate Pentagon disinformation campaigns designed to shield classified military technology. Since the 1950s, the U.S. military has systematically spread doctored photographs and fabricated stories to protect secret stealth fighter projects and other advanced weapons systems from foreign intelligence services. This calculated effort to mislead both the American public and potential adversaries became particularly aggressive during the Cold War when protecting military innovations from Soviet intelligence was paramount.

A Pentagon probe led by Sean Kirkpatrick discovered that this disinformation was propagated both by local commanders and possibly through institutional programs specifically designed to create misleading narratives.

The investigation found that allowing UFO myths to flourish served as an effective method to misdirect foreign intelligence agencies, particularly those from the Soviet Union, away from actual classified American military technology developments. This strategy continued for decades, becoming deeply embedded in military culture.

The investigation revealed that as recently as 2023, “hazing” rituals within the Air Force involved showing new commanders fake photographs of supposed antigravity vehicles. This institutionalized deception extended to the Pentagon’s 2024 report on unidentified anomalous phenomena, which deliberately omitted key facts to protect ongoing classified programs. The Department of Defense has announced plans to release a follow-up report later this year, though skeptics question whether full transparency will be provided.

Congress Demands Answers on Multiple Fronts

Republican members of Congress are now demanding greater transparency regarding UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) crash retrieval programs and the extent of the government’s disinformation campaigns. The investigation has brought renewed attention to Cold War-era incidents, such as the reported disabling of nuclear missile launch systems in 1967, which some military personnel believed were caused by extraterrestrial craft but may have been part of classified testing or foreign interference misrepresented to protect national security interests.

Robert Salas, a former Air Force captain who was on duty during the 1967 incident, has been vocal about his belief that the military has systematically concealed vital truths from both the public and its own personnel. Salas has stated that this deception represents a fundamental breach of trust between the government and citizens who deserve to know the truth about these phenomena, regardless of their origin.

House Oversight Committee Targets NewsGuard

In a parallel investigation challenging government influence over information, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer has launched an investigation into NewsGuard, a company that rates the trustworthiness of news and information websites. NewsGuard uses trained journalists to evaluate sites on a scale of 0-100 based on nine criteria related to credibility and transparency, but Comer’s investigation questions whether government entities have influenced these ratings.

Of particular concern is NewsGuard’s 2021 contract with the Department of Defense, which some lawmakers suggest could indicate federal involvement in censorship operations targeting American media outlets. Comer has requested documents from NewsGuard’s executives to determine whether government entities have influenced the company’s ratings process, which could potentially impact which news sources Americans trust and consume.

NewsGuard Defends Its Independence

NewsGuard’s co-CEO, Gordon Crovitz, has defended the company’s operations, stating that their work for the Pentagon focused exclusively on countering disinformation from foreign governments, particularly Russia, China, and Iran. Crovitz emphasized that NewsGuard operates as an apolitical service and pointed out that some conservative outlets actually score higher in their ratings system than their liberal counterparts, challenging allegations of political bias.

These dual investigations highlight growing concerns about government influence over information flow – whether through direct disinformation campaigns about UFOs or through potential pressure on media rating systems. Both cases represent critical challenges to transparent governance and raise important questions about the public’s right to accurate information versus the government’s perceived need to protect national security interests.
