2020 will forever be the year of COVID-19, but it has a different meaning for UFO enthusiasts.
This marked the time when the Pentagons covert UFO operation became an above board government program.
And on Friday June 25, it will publish its first report covering 120 UFO sightings.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
He gave us an unequivocal yes to this.
This report had a huge impact on how people thought about UFOs, Griffioen said.
This mysterious investigation had been running since 2007 and cost$22 million.
Arguably even more impactful was the release of three videos made by different navy pilots.
These videos show strange-looking flying objects that can accelerate within seconds and seem to defy the laws of physics.
When those videos came out, it resulted in a snowball effect with even more pilots reporting sightings.
Congress could no longer ignore the questions these phenomena posed andfounded the UAP Task Forcefor further investigation.
Their first report is coming out on Friday and we asked Griffioen what to expect.
For example, countries like Russia and China secretly testing ultra-advanced, hypersonic planes.
Griffioen isnt buying this.
Lets say its Russia, a country with a minuscule defense budget compared to the US.
We then questioned Griffioen about how many more videos we can expect to see.
He told us we dont know much about the reports contents.
For example, theres instantaneous acceleration: moving from zero to Mach six or seven in seconds.
If a human being was inside that craft, they would turn into mush because of the G-forces.
Another one is transmedium travel: the ability to move in or out of the water without losing speed.
According to Griffioen, these underwater UFOs are called USOs or unidentified submersible objects.
And theyre a lot more common than you might think.
Here though, comes the big question: have we encountered aliens or not?
I think we spotted non-human intelligence, Griffioen said.
I wouldnt use the term aliens.
The term hedoesuse is non-human intelligence or NHI.
He doesnt believe its that simple.
Instead, he thinks that these NHIs could also come from another dimension in space and time.
Effectively, hes a proponent of the multiverse theory.
This means the sightings exist on Earth, but in a spectrum we cant register as humans.
As it’s possible for you to tell, Griffioen is a true believer.
But the US government confirming the existence of non-human intelligence might be closer than it appears.
Griffioen believes this will change in our lifetimes though.
Weve never been closer [or] seen as much transparency as today, he said.
Im positive we will find out whats out there in the coming years.
