1.3 – The Captain Nemo Hypothesis: Perhaps a variant of the human-origin, Adversarial Hypothesis option is that a non-governmental entity, e.g., a wealthy inventor like one out of an old James Bond movie, developed the technology away from the prying eyes of the world’s intelligence agencies.Furthermore, the military would have leaned more heavily on naval pilots not to come forward and do public interviews to prevent revelations about the craft’s capabilities. If this had been the case, I believe the military would have briefed Senator Rubio to the existence of this highly classified technology, and as a consequence, he would not have subsequently pushed for the military to provide an unclassified report on UAPs in June 2021. While I suppose that is possible, I personally doubt it. Perhaps this craft was being tested against friendly military forces to see whether and or how the craft would be detected, reported, etc. This hypothesis would suggest that what navy pilots and personnel witnessed was secret U.S. 1.2 – Secret US Technology Hypothesis.

I certainly hope our intelligence agencies are looking back over old intelligence reporting and data for indications they may have missed something here.

Yet, even with these failures there were bits and pieces of information, and hints of something major coming. Yet, such a horrendous failure would not be without precedence when one thinks of Pearl Harbor and 911. To have missed this development or even some sign of it would be an egregious intelligence failure. While it is certainly possible that American technology has been leapfrogged, I find it difficult to believe the development of such a technology from the drawing board, to testing, to production of such a craft or vehicle could have been conducted without any of the various capabilities at the disposal of US intelligence having uncovered any clue this was going on. 1.1 – Adversary Hypothesis: Advanced technology developed by a leading adversary, such as China and Russia.At the end of this article, I’ll provide my thoughts on what UAPs might be. Below, I have provided some broad hypotheses under which UAPs might be considered. That is to say, UAPs are said to exhibit sudden acceleration, to move at great speed both in space, the air, and under water(!) UAPs do not have control surfaces like ‘normal’ aircraft they do not leave heat signatures, and do exhibit anti-gravity lift without any visible means of propulsion. The options briefly analyzed below assume, arguendo, the accuracy of the reports that have come to light over the last year or two involving the UAP phenomena. Given the growing media interest in the topic, and the growing interest and expectations regarding the impending June report on UAPs, I thought I might comment on what this phenomena might be. In the recent Defense appropriations bill passed by Congress in December 2020, Senator Marco Rubio inserted language requiring the US military to provide an unclassified report on the subject in June 2021.


Also, CBS 60 Minutes recently aired a report. On his show on FOX News, Tucker Carlson has discussed the topic of the recent sightings by the military on a number of occasions, for example, here, here and here, and here. The acronym UAP has replaced the older, more common description of such sightings as an “Unidentified Flying Object” or UFO. (Steven O’Reilly) – Over the last year or so, several videos have been made public which capture what the US military calls “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” or UAPs.
