The U.S. Navy says that releasing any additional UFO videos would “harm national security” and told a government transparency website that all of the government’s UFO videos are classified information.
In a Freedom of Information Act request response, the Navy told government transparency site The Black Vault that any public dissemination of new UFO videos “will harm national security as it may provide adversaries valuable information regarding Department of Defense/Navy operations, vulnerabilities, and/or capabilities.
No portions of the videos can be segregated for release.”
The Black Vault was seeking all videos “with the designation of ‘unidentified aerial phenomena.’”
This is an interesting response from the Navy because, often, military agencies will issue a so-called GLOMAR response, where they neither confirm nor deny that the records (in this case videos) exist, and refuse to say anything more.
In this response, the Navy is admitting that it has more videos, and also gives a rationale for releasing three previous UFO videos.
“While three UAP videos were released in the past, the facts specific to those three videos are unique in that those videos were initially released via unofficial channels before official release,” it said. “Those events were discussed extensively in the public domain; in fact, major news outlets conducted specials on these events.
Given the amount of information in the public domain regarding these encounters, it was possible to release the files without further damage to national security.”
It’s true that the three videos—which were leaked to former Blink-182 singer Tom DeLonge and the New York Times—didn’t originally come out via official means. But in recent years, the Pentagon has regularly talked about UFOs, and earlier this year it showed additional clips from UFOs to Congress. T
he military has seemingly wanted to tell the public and Congress that UFOs are very much real and a threat, and that it needs more funding to determine what they are and, perhaps, protect us against them.
But it continues to hold the videos close to the vest.
THE FACT THAT THIS INFO HAS BEEN WITHHELD FROM US IS PROOF THAT IT DOES EXIST. FACING TRUTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN HARD TO FACE MOSTLY BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF DENIAL, FEAR AND FOLLOWING WHAT OTHERS DO OR SAY WITHOUT USING OUR COMMON SENSE. YES, THE UNKNOWN IS SCARRY, HOWEVER, WE MUST FACE THE FACTS AND REALIZE THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY LIFE FORM IN GOD’S KINGDOM.

Well, the discovery and realization of an alien race able to travel millions of miles in space and therefore more advanced technological than we are is sure to cause panic and fear (remember how those encounters have worked out to the demise of the less advance culture between humans)
Also, It will probably drive the last nail in the coffin of religions. Between what science has discovered about our development and evolution as well as all the inaccuracies in our “sacred texts” the discovery that probably all those “divine” interventions in our history may have been just very advance aliens and not an omnipotent God.
As well, how many alien races are we to find and what are their intentions? Help or colonization?
