Speaker 1 (00:00):
Marco Rubio has been saying for years that people in
high positions are coming forward with information about programs that
even presidents were never told about. And now he's in
one of the most powerful national security positions in the
country and he's still talking. Here is what he's saying
and why it matters. As always, I'm here to report
(00:20):
the information without bias, and you can decide what to believe.
You can find the sources in my detailed articles at
ufonews dot com along within the description box below. Hey,
you followed yours. I'm Christina Gomez and welcome to this
episode of UFO News Updates. On December second, Secretary of
State Marco Rubio appeared on Hannity following the release of
the documentary Age of Disclosure. When asked about his appearance
(00:42):
in the film, Rubio provided some pretty important context. Take
a listen, so a.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Couple points on it. First of all, I'm not disavound
that I was an interview that was done almost like
maybe three or four years ago when I was in
the Senate, right, so it wasn't recent. The second point
I would make, I was describing the allegations that people
have come forward with that have people that can forward
to us. You know, some of these people were navy pilots, admirals, generals, whatever,
that would come forward and say that there were programs
(01:08):
in the US government that not even presidents were made
aware of. So I was describing what people had said
to me, not things that I have firsthand knowledge of.
In that regard, a little bit of selective editing, But
it's okay, because you know, you're trying to sell a
show there. But the fundamental comments I haven't seen it,
but the clips I've seen and people have shown me
are fundamentally true.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Well, here is what stands out. Rubio is not backing
away from these statements. He's confirming that navy pilots, admirals,
and generals came forward with allegations about programs operating outside
presidential oversight, and he wants to express his primary concern,
which centers on national security implications. He stated that what
(01:46):
worries him most is the possibility that an adversary has
developed some asystematic capability for a surveillance that we are
not prepared for. Rubio references the twenty twenty three Chinese
spy balloon incident, noting that even Norrad adjusted their radar
parameters to detect balloons, and they suddenly spied multiple flying
(02:07):
objects overhead. While some were innocent, according to Rubio, some
were confirmed to be Chinese. But if we actually look
at that case, we didn't really receive that much information
from the three objects that were shot at. In February
of twenty twenty three, Marco Rubio made a very important
clarification about the documentary. While he stated he cannot independently
(02:29):
verify all the claims made by the other participants, he
did acknowledge something significant about the people that are making
these claims. He said they are either people with high
levels in the government who are either a liars, b crazy,
or c telling the truth. Now, two out of those
three options are not good ones. The framing here is
(02:52):
very significant. Rubio is not dismissing these individuals. He is
stating that regardless of which option is true, there is
a problem that needs to be addressed. The day after
Rubio's Fox News appearance, journalist Michael Schellenberger published an interesting article.
According to Schellenberger's reporting on News Nation, a senior advisor
(03:14):
to Marco Rubio stated that the government has handed over
recovered UFOs to private military contractors, and those contractors are
becoming more knowledgeable about these craft than the government itself.
Now you might think, h Christina, we already knew this.
That might be true. But the fact that a senior
(03:34):
advisor to Marco Rubio stated this, that's where it becomes
a big deal.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Journalist Michael Schellenberger published an article today quoting a senior
advisor to Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Marco Rubio,
who says, quote, we are headed toward a massive disclosure. Now,
just when that might happen it remains vague, but it
does reflect the sentiment of the moment.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
The timing here is significant. Rubio currently holds two very
powerful positions in government. He is both Secretary of State
and National Security Advisor. The last person to hold both
positions simultaneously was Henry Kissinger between nineteen seventy three and
nineteen seventy five. This means Rubio sits at the intersection
(04:23):
of the intelligence community and the Pentagon. If anyone in
the current administration has access to information about these programs,
it would be someone in his position. The question is,
does Rubio have a need to know? Schollenberger pointed out
a very critical inconsistency in government messaging. The Department of
(04:44):
Defense continues to maintain there is no evidence of extraterrestrials.
There is no evidence of any of this. He believes
President Trump will soon face questions about potential disclosure, comparing
it to how the administration was pressed on the Epstein files.
As Schellenberger puts it, people are not going to let
(05:05):
this go, and I really hope they don't. This is
not the first time Ruvio has spoken publicly about UAPs.
Back in August of twenty twenty three, when he was
vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he gave an
interview to News Nation where he addressed the whistleblower allegations directly.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Take a listen, and I would put it to people
this way. There are one or two things here are true.
Either what he's saying is partially true or entirely true,
or we have some really smart, educated people with high
clearances and very important positions in our government who are
crazy and are leading us on a goose chase. One
of these two things is true.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Either what they're telling us is true, or we've got
some people in important positions that are doing this for
some reason, so either one is a problem. We got
to figure this out. We can't ignore it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Question is is the new task Force run by Anna
Pauline A Luna also talking to these individuals. He stated
that some people still work in the government and are
fearful of their jobs, their clearances, their careers, and some
are fearful of harm coming to them. You know who
else mentioned this David Groush during the twenty twenty three
(06:15):
UFO hearing tim Bershett asked very similar questions to what
was stated by Marco Rubio. What makes the significance is
that Rubio was describing direct contacts with potential whistleblowers who
claim firsthand knowledge, not secondhand information. And these were people
who say they have actually seen things or worked on
(06:36):
programs directly. One aspect that deserves attention is the bipartisan
nature of this issue. This topic has united members of
Congress from both parties in ways that very few other
issues have.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
That also makes me think that this is not some
kind of psychological operation. Right, What on earth would John
Brennan and John Radcliffe too of the President's you know,
one of his biggest allies, in one of his biggest attractors.
They're saying the exact same thing. These folks again are
miles apart politically, but they're all in lockstep on this.
I find that extraordinary. And it is time. This confusion,
(07:13):
all these conflicting narratives from the Pentagon that's denying this,
and that you have all of this pap the shatter
from the administration folks in high level folks. The President
needs to come out and clarify which.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Is what is going on.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well, the focus remains on UFOs and government programs. It's
worth noting that some researchers believe this phenomenon connects to
other unexplained areas. On a recent episode of Weaponized, George
Knapp and Jerryman Corbell discussed how the book Hunt for
the skin Walker, which documented UFOs alongside other strange phenomena
(07:45):
at a single location, actually inspired the creation of the
Pentagon's UAP investigation program.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
I want to remind people that the book Hunt for
the Skinwalker, twenty years ago is what inspired the ASEEP.
The DA created this program because it was intrigued. Now
it wasn't just studying the ranch. That was an opportunity
because that was a place where UFOs happened a lot,
but that study became the largest UFO UAP related investigation
(08:14):
in history, and they did not hesitate to look into
stories about creatures and other things paranormal phenomena that seemingly
don't make sense.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
This suggests that government investigators have looked at the broader
range of the phenomena, not just metallic craft in the sky. Now,
whether that means anything for potential disclosure remains to be seen.
What do you think will happen next? Do you believe
we will see significant disclosure or will this continue to
be a very slow drip of information? Drop your thoughts
(08:46):
in the comments. I'm Christina Gomez, not as ever today.
I will see you again tomorrow at ten AMPSD for
another UFO news update. Be safe, I remember, keep your
eyes on the Sky's.
