Speaker 1 (00:00):
Vice President JD.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Vance claimed on the Ruthless podcast that he's obsessed with
the whole UFO thing and wants to investigate you ap
videos during an August recess, but Vance has never mentioned
UFOs in any previous interview or social media post.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Ever.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Congresswoman Annapolina Lunas on a letter to NASA pushing for
serious research on an interstellar object, the three I Atlas,
that could potentially be intercepted by the JUNO spacecraft. But
it's been an even crazier week than Vance confessing his
UFO obsession and Luna wanting to research the three I Atlas.
(00:41):
Congressman Eric Burlison went from believing there might be a
crash retrieval program to stating there definitely is.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
A crash rechieval program. Hey you follow yours.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I'm Christina Gomez and welcome to this episode of UFO
News Updates. During a main Congressional briefing, a Pentagon physicist
with debes of high level security clearance detailed four alien
species two members of Congress. The exchange between Christian Fisher
and Eric Berlson was very interesting. Take a listen to
this short clip.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Whether it's true or not real or not real.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
We're using words like Gray's, Nordics, reptilians, and insectoids in
a formal.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Age to me that he said it openly to a
member of Congress with yeah, and he is a highly
respected scientist. So we just need to get the details,
like where did he get where did he get that information?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It seems we can't talk about UFOs without bringing up
the new spokesman for UFOs in politics, Eric Burleson.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
That short clip was very telling.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Look at the discomfort in his body language when talking
about this. He looks to the side, almost looking at
the cameraman, touches the inside of his leg to signify
that he's uncomfortable, while simultaneously bring his legs closer together.
In times of discomfort or even fear, people will try
(02:06):
to take up less space in a room, and this
can include bringing the legs closer together the way that
Burlison did, which let me also note he rarely did
for the rest of the interview. But to body language aside,
Eric Berlison started investigating UFOs two years ago when whistleblower
(02:27):
David Grush came forward requesting to meet with Congress members.
At that time, Burlison was a new member with a
short time of experience, and he contacted Grush and began
investigating UFO programs as a project management exercise. Burlison states
he remains skeptical but believes taxpayer dollars are being spent
(02:49):
on these programs, making oversight necessary. He's a member of
both the House Oversight Committee and the UAP Caucus. During
that May briefing the UA Disclosure Fund, Burlison asked physicist
Eric Davis about species allegedly piloting UFOs, and Davis has
decades of high level Pentagon security clearance. So what he says,
(03:11):
people take a little more to heart. And then, just
to make this very clear, congressional briefings are very different
from congressional hearings. Briefings can be compared to people kind
of chatting it up at the dinner table, while congressional
hearings are done under oath. Okay, with that out of
the way, here's the next clip.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
They are typically the mode of species people are familiar
with the grays and ortics. People are talking about reptilies
and insectoids. It's not that their rectiy or insect ways
that they resemble them to the precipient of reptile or
in this sect type shootinoid because they had this my
hand in forulms and torso so large small human sized
(03:55):
human scale.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
According to Burlson, he had heard these four classifications in
previous meetings from other people. Davis's statements were unexpected because
of his scientific credentials and security clearances. Davis provides specific details,
and Perlissen admits that he should have asked about Davis's sources,
(04:18):
whether this was firsthand knowledge or secondhand information. And then
on July thirty first, twenty twenty five, Congresswoman Anna Paulina
Luna sent a letter to NASA Administrator Sean Duffy about
intercepting the interstellar object the three I Atlas, and there
have been a lot of mixed feelings about this object regardless.
(04:40):
According to NASA data, the three I Atlas was discovered
on July first, and it is the third confirmed interstellar
object entering our Solar System and the largest at roughly
seven miles wide. Harvard professor Avi Loeb's research shows NASA's
Juno spacecraft intercept this object using a Jupiter O birth maneuver.
(05:04):
In March of twenty twenty six, Luna's letter requests NASA
assets using Juno's remaining fuel for this mission, and then
even cited Loeb's work, and some researchers have speculated that
this object potentially being artificial, though mainstream astronomy considers it
(05:24):
a comment, but we still don't really know yet. Overall,
it's very interesting that Luna would make a public statement
urging NASA to look into this and research the object.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
But it's been an.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Even crazier week than Vance confessing his UFO obsession and
Luna wanting.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Serious research on the three I.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
At LIS, Eric Berlison went from believing there is a
crash retrieval program to saying there definitely is a program.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Do you believe that there is one and that the
US is hiding something.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
There is a crash retrieval program. Whether or not it's
retrieving e T is a whole nother question. For example,
what happened whenever whenever they killed Asama Laden They had
some seriously advanced tech on one of those he on
those helicopters, and unfortunately they they had to that that
(06:22):
copter crashed.

keep in the know with the latest UFO names. According
to Burlason, the US operates crash retrieval programs, and he
references the Osama bin laden raid where advanced helicopter technology
(06:45):
crashed and required secure extraction. But there was a slight
slip of the tongue. There was the crash, deliberate or
simple human error. Jake Barber publicly confirmed his participation in
such programs. According to his testimony, most retrievals are domestic
or foreign terrestrial technology, but there were rare events that
(07:09):
were potentially extraterrestrial. Burleson acknowledges that speculation about reverse engineering
recovered craft remains unproven. The next major UAP hearing moved
from July to August to September to whenever the witness
is already to speak. Have strategic reasons, according to Burleson, but.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Also we want to get it right, and so we
are we're navigating getting the right witnesses, the best witnesses
we possibly can.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And so by that do you mean first hand witnesses.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah, I'm trying. We're focused on trying to get people
that have got first hand experience that can bring new conversations,
firsthand experience with what with non human intelligence?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Do you think you can get that?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
We'll see Burlin and states he has more hope for
transparency today than the year ago. Leadership changes are opening
opportunities for information previously blocked from the Disclosure Task Force,
and there has been a lot of struggles with getting
witnesses to come forward, struggles that Burlison has mentioned before
(08:20):
and you can see it in his face when he
answered it this time. But overall it's getting very interesting
and yet still a little concerning, especially with JD Vance's
recent claims of being interested in UFOs but with so
much laughter entangled in that video. Here's the clip.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
The other thing is there are stories that I am
particularly focused on, in part just because you talk with
your buddies about it. Like, I'm obsessed with the whole
UFO thing. What's actually going on? What were those videos
all about? What's actually happening? I haven't gotten to the
bottom of yet, but we're only six months since Busy Actually,
the August recess is in part me going to try
(09:02):
to dive to the bottom of the whole UFO tho
oh yeah, ash here so have us back.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Okay, I'll let you I'll let you know. But whether
you're a skeptic or a believer, these developments represent a
fundamental shift in how our government approaches the UAP phenomenon.
What do you think is going on? Leave your thoughts
in the comments below. That is it for today. I
will see you next time. Be safe and remember keep
your eyes on the skies. If you enjoy the strange
