cartoonish melodrama<\/a>) that there’s no way these could be Russian or Chinese aircraft.<\/p>Elizondo, who seems to favor the UFOs-as-extraterrestrials narrative, argues that there are extensive records of military encounters with these phenomena stretching back seventy years, which rules out China since it could barely keep its head above water back then and rules out Russia because it shared its UFO knowledge with the US after the collapse of the Soviet Union.<\/p>
I don’t know what’s going on with that last bit; I see no reason to trust that an American spook is acting in good faith on such an easily manipulated topic, but it is entirely possible that Elizondo set out on this road out of a sincere desire for government disclosure on UFOs and is now trying to regain control of the narrative now that he sees the cold war arms race direction it has taken.<\/p>
Chris Melon, another major player in the new UFO narrative, recently complained on Twitter<\/a> that “some important information was not shared” with the public in the UFO report. So who knows, maybe the initiators of this new UFO narrative were acting in good faith and their efforts were just swiftly hijacked by forces beyond their control to advance preexisting cold war agendas<\/a>.<\/p>Clearest indication yet that the Imminent UAP report to Congress was neutered by access problems, this from @ChristopherKMe4<\/a>: \u201cUndoubtedly, some important information was not shared, potentially for a variety of reasons. Congress should inquire about that\u201d https:\/\/t.co\/9jmZRDFdsH<\/a><\/p>— Ross Coulthart (@rosscoulthart) June 5, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>
