MUFON congratulates congress for 2021 agenda containing uap disclosure reporting bill
REPORTEDLY CALLS FOR unclassified government-wide report on uap & aDVANCED aERIAL tHREATS

Thanks to the efforts of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force at the Office of Naval Intelligence and others such as TTSA, the Senate Intelligence Committee has been successful in getting a bill placed on the 2021 agenda which includes mention of UAPs and Advanced Aerial Threats. The bill, introduced by Florida Senator Marco Rubio, would seek to correct what it calls "... no unified, comprehensive process within the Federal government for collecting and analyzing intelligence on unidentified aerial phenomena, despite the potential threat.".
The bill directs the DNI, Secretary of Defense, and other agencies to submit a report within 180-days on UAPs which includes observed airbourn objects that have not yet been identified. The report is to be submitted to the congressional inteligence and armed services committee on unidentified aerial phenomena in unclassified form. The report may, however, include a classified annex.
MUFON congratulates Committee Chairman Rubio for supporting transparency in government as well as national security. The bill still has to be approved by lawmakers before it can become an act so, there's still work to be done. MUFON urges you to contact your congressional representatives to express your support of Chairman Rubio and this ground breaking legislation.

Passing of Researcher & Ufologist Ann Druffel

Picture
We were saddened to learn of the passing of noted ufologist and researcher Ann Druffel last Friday, June 12, 2020. Ann was a prolific author of six books including most notably "How to Defend Yourself Against Alien Abduction".
Ann had her first sighting of an object as a schoolgirl in 1945. She credited this sighting with spurring her interest to engage in a life-long adventure in ufology. She became one the first NICAP investigators in 1957 and remained with the group for 16-years. After leaving NICAP, Ann joined us here at MUFON where she remained active until her passing last week.
Please join with us in remembrance of Ann, her family, and her contributions towards answering the ultimate question.

HD Video Captures UAP over Mexico

Much of the media we receive daily is of such poor quality that it provides little to no usable information. However, this video is the exception. This witness demonstrates the proper technique to use when documenting a sighting. As you watch the video notice how it begins with plenty of foreground objects such as trees, houses, fences, telephone poles, etc. This provides a reference point for the distance and size of the object prior to zooming in. Also, note the smooth motion of the camera throughout including a finish that zooms back out to again include all the foreground references.

The result of this witness's diligence is the exceptional video above. The quality of the evidence coupled with the nature of the object is providing valuable information for our investigators to consider as they continue to investigate this interesting case.

NASA Selects 3 US Companies To Develop Systems for 2024 Moon Landing

NASA has selected three U.S. companies to design and develop human landing systems (HLS) for the agency’s Artemis program, one of which will land the first woman and next man on the surface of the Moon by 2024. NASA is on track for sustainable human exploration of the Moon for the first time in history.

The human landing system awards under the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextSTEP-2) Appendix H Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) are firm-fixed price, milestone-based contracts. The total combined value for all awarded contracts is $967 million for the 10-month base period. 

The following companies were selected to design and build human landing systems: 
  • Blue Origin of Kent, Washington, is developing the Integrated Lander Vehicle (ILV) – a three-stage lander to be launched on its own New Glenn Rocket System and ULA Vulcan launch system. 
  • Dynetics (a Leidos company) of Huntsville, Alabama, is developing the Dynetics Human Landing System (DHLS) – a single structure providing the ascent and descent capabilities that will launch on the ULA Vulcan launch system. 
  • SpaceX of Hawthorne, California, is developing the Starship – a fully integrated lander that will use the SpaceX Super Heavy rocket. 

​“With these contract awards, America is moving forward with the final step needed to land astronauts on the Moon by 2024, including the incredible moment when we will see the first woman set foot on the lunar surface,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. “This is the first time since the Apollo era that NASA has direct funding for a human landing system, and now we have companies on contract to do the work for the Artemis program.” 

Pentagon Releases UFO Near Mid-Air Incident Reports

The Pentagon has released the incident reports which describe in detail the now famous UFO encounters experienced by US Navy pilots. The reports indicate several near mid-air collisions with the military jets - some as close as 200 feet separation. The incident reports graphically reflect the Navy's concern for their pilots and crews encountering Unidentified Aerial Device (UAD) while on routine missions in 2013 and 2014.

Pentagon Officially Releases UFO Videos

by Michael Conte, CNN
Washington (CNN)The Pentagon has officially released three short videos showing "unidentified aerial phenomena" that had previously been released by a private company.The videos show what appear to be unidentified flying objects rapidly moving while recorded by infrared cameras. Two of the videos contain service members reacting in awe at how quickly the objects are moving. One voice speculates that it could be a drone.

The Navy previously acknowledged the veracity of the videos in September of last year. They are officially releasing them now, "in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos," according to Pentagon spokesperson Sue Gough.
"After a thorough review, the department has determined that the authorized release of these unclassified videos does not reveal any sensitive capabilities or systems," said Gough in a statement, "and does not impinge on any subsequent investigations of military air space incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena."

The Navy now has formal guidelines for how its pilots can report when they believe they have seen possible UFO's. The Navy videos were first released between December 2017 and March 2018 by To The Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences, a company co-founded by former Blink-182 musician Tom DeLonge that says it studies information about unidentified aerial phenomena.

In 2017, one of the pilots who saw one of the unidentified objects in 2004 told CNN that it moved in ways he couldn't explain. "As I got close to it ... it rapidly accelerated to the south, and disappeared in less than two seconds," said retired US Navy pilot David Fravor. "This was extremely abrupt, like a ping pong ball, bouncing off a wall. It would hit and go the other way."

The Pentagon has previously studied recordings of aerial encounters with unknown objects as part of a since-shuttered classified program that was launched at the behest of former Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada. The program was launched in 2007 and ended in 2012, according to the Pentagon, because they assessed that there were higher priorities that needed funding. Nevertheless, Luis Elizondo, the former head of the classified program, told CNN in 2017 that he personally believes "there is very compelling evidence that we may not be alone. These aircraft -- we'll call them aircraft -- are displaying characteristics that are not currently within the US inventory nor in any foreign inventory that we are aware of," Elizondo said of objects they researched. He says he resigned from the Defense Department in 2017 in protest over the secrecy surrounding the program and the internal opposition to funding it.

Reid tweeted Monday that he was "glad" the Pentagon officially released the videos, but that "it only scratches the surface of research and materials available. The U.S. needs to take a serious, scientific look at this and any potential national security implications."
And some members of Congress are still interested in the issue, with senators receiving a classified briefing from Navy officials on unidentified aircraft last summer. ​"If pilots at Oceana or elsewhere are reporting flight hazards that interfere with training or put them at risk, then Senator Warner wants answers. It doesn't matter if it's weather balloons, little green men, or something else entirely — we can't ask our pilots to put their lives at risk unnecessarily," Rachel Cohen, spokeswoman for Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, told CNN at the time.
TTSA's Luis Elizondo Comments on DoD Release
“In these uncertain times, it is more important than ever that governments speak the truth to their citizens, as it is the most important pillar of a Democracy. We commend the leadership at the Department of Defense for sharing the truth and TTSA is optimistic that they will continue to share more information transparently as it becomes publicly available.”

“At To The Stars Academy, we do not fear skepticism and will continually work to decrease doubt around the topic of the existence of UAPs. We are fueled by the Pentagon’s significant actions and hope this encourages a new wave of credible information to come forward. We acknowledge and stand by those who have the courage to always speak the truth, no matter how difficult or complex the issue is.”
