    The Decades-Long UFO Taboo the Biden Administration Will Have to Face

    The Debrief

    ... The soon-to-be president may not realize it yet, but there's another challenge looming on the horizon involving a subject long relegated to society's fringe. Viewed through the lens of history, however, it could
    end up defining Joe Biden's presidential legacy.

    We're speaking here of unidentified flying objects. Or in currently
    favored parlance, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). ...

    Getting Up To Speed

    Not long ago, The Debrief offered exclusive insight into the growing
    awareness by the highest levels of the US military and intelligence
    communities that apparently intelligently controlled devices are
    seemingly traversing our skies and oceans with impunity.

    Relatedly, a bipartisan handful of political leaders -- some retired,
    some not -- have begun making increasingly explicit public statements
    that "someone," or "something," appears to possess technologies we fail
    to understand and to be pursuing purposes we cannot fathom.

    Based on our reporting, including statements made on the record and
    some made in private, not for attribution, elements of the US
    govt now believe that:

    * Some UAP appear to be intelligently controlled, mechanical devices,
    capable of virtually instantaneous hypersonic acceleration and
    acute angled turns, without reliance on any obvious sources of
    propulsion. These observations alone provoke great consternation in
    the minds of technically knowledgeable analysts.

    * Some of these objects have "transmedium" capability -- that is,
    they are capable of impressive performance through air, underwater,
    and outside the atmosphere.

    * UAP will appear at times on radar, while in other instances these
    objects seem to be capable of concealing themselves from visual and
    other sensor systems.

    * Some UAP have manifested seemingly extraordinary
    information-gathering abilities and display knowledge that should
    not be accessible. At times, these objects appear to anticipate the
    responses of those they encounter.

    * Some of these objects can detect US nuclear weapons platforms at
    great range and with absolute impunity. When the historical record
    is examined with blinders removed, it appears that these enigmatic
    objects have long displayed a particular interest in nuclear
    weapons sites.

    * The UAP issue is not an "American problem." Many world govts
    have encountered these mysterious objects to varying degrees. In
    recent years, as China continues to advance domestic technologies
    at an exponential rate (chiefly due to espionage and intellectual
    theft), they've also found themselves detecting these mysterious
    objects at an increasing rate.

    Assuredly, for many in top defense circles, this news is all rather
    startling and deeply discomforting. Considering none of this is
    particularly new, though, the fact that it might be alarming to
    officials is remarkable in and of itself.

    Indeed, for at least a century, "something" that appears to transcend
    all cultural, ideological, and geographical boundaries has shown a
    proclivity toward sporadic, yet brilliant, airborne displays. The only discernible consistency this "something" seems to possess is an
    unwavering commitment to breaking current paradigms and behaving in
    ways that appear completely alien to human understanding. ...

    A 'space hurricane' hovered above the North Pole for about 8 hours, study says USA TODAY, 03 Mar 2021 0:37Z
    For the first time, scientists have spotted what they're calling a "space hurricane" spinning above the North Pole, according to a new study.

    Space hurricane spotted above the North pole
    BBC, 3 May 2021
    The space hurricane was spotted by scientists from China's Shandong
    University, where they saw a swirling mass of plasma that behaved a lot like
    the hurricanes here on Earth - except these space hurricanes rain electrons
    instead of water!
    The space hurricane was spotted across 1,000km, above the North Pole.
    Similar to hurricanes found inside Earth's atmosphere, it turned in an anti-
    clockwise direction and lasted for almost 8 hours.
    Prof Mike Lockwood, a space scientist at the university of Reading said:
    "Until now, it was uncertain that space plasma hurricanes even existed, so
    to prove this with such a striking observation is incredible".
