On the latest episode of PodcastUFO, Stanton Friedman also said he is disappointed with the slow flow of information being released by TTSA. (You may have to be a subscriber for $2 a month to hear the whole interview.)
Here it is:
it would be best not show them opening samples and then blurring one of the samples. It just leads to suspicions that they've got nothing.
It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't, situation. A material can visually appear to be a piece of junk, and yet closer analysis can yield exciting results. If they showed the samples, people would call it junk before TTSA has any of the analytical data that they're collecting right now to refute such assertions. So it's a bad idea to show people anything before you've run the tests, and know what you've got.
In all probability, nothing is exactly what they have.
I prefer to leave the prognostication to psychics and Tarot card readers.
Jacques Vallée recently described a trace evidence analysis where they found three stable isotopes of a single element in a precise ratio of thirds, in one tested sample. That happens nowhere in nature, and is very difficult and expensive to do - and there's no known reason to go to the trouble of separating individual isotopes and recombining them in that manner. So exotic samples do exist, which appear to indicate a technology unknown to modern science. If they can get hold of a sample like that, it could prove to be highly significant.
We’ve all been here before and nothing came of it!
This is a common logical fallacy called a
false equivalence. Simply put, this means that the superficial similarity between TTSA and the raft of far less credible efforts in the past such as CSETI and MUFON, namely “public efforts at government disclosure,” is an insufficient level of similarity to assert equivalence between TTSA and organizations such as CSETI and MUFON.
In fact the dissimilarities are vastly greater than the similarities. With TTSA we have the former Director of an official Pentagon program directly confirming both the legitimacy of the AAV phenomenon and the government’s knowledge of its reality. We also have two published professional scientists who have been intimately involved with the AATIP’s research efforts under the official BAAS defense contract. And we have a respected former manager from Lockheed’s Skunk Works division. And we also have a couple of government military intelligence insiders. So the people involved here are far above the amateur efforts of the past.
Plus, these people actually disclosed the existence of the AATIP at the Pentagon, which is an historic revelation. And they got three FLIR clips released through official channels – another first in US history. And now they’re actually conducting scientific research on physical samples, which holds real promise of providing the irrefutable scientific proof of the AAV phenomenon that everyone’s been clamoring for since the 1940s.
So TTSA is something altogether new. Facile comparisons with other organizations, and people, are illogical and insubstantial.
New declassified material, former military contacts coming out, astronauts, etc..
What declassified material? All that comes to mind is Project Mogul, and that was the opposite of disclosure. There’s also a vast difference between some military vet coming forward who saw a bright light in the sky one day, and the former Director of an official 10-year Pentagon program to research and evaluate this phenomenon.
Tom knows how the ufo crowd thinks, and he’s seemingly following the same paths of others that have pushed for disclosure. “Wait till you see what we got” then as of yet shows nothing!
Nothing? A year ago we had no idea that the AATIP even existed. And if anyone had even heard of the Nimitz case, it was only at the level of unsubstantiated rumor. And we certainly didn’t know that the government had an exotic sample of photonic metamaterial that was found to embody nonterrestrial structure, isotopic composition, and properties.
How does any of that qualify as “nothing?”
I honestly don’t think he’s shooting for ones that already believe .
That’s correct. They, not “he,” are going for mainstream acceptance and Congressional hearings. On both accounts they’ve succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
Gonna have to come with the results to get the full support of ufo crowds who tend to distrust government and main stream forms of media .
That’s what they’re working on right now – scientific proof. Give it a minute; science takes time.
Let’s face it ufo’s are big business , in merchandise, movies, and who knows what kind of money could come from privately reproduced alien hardware. I’m tempted to invest in their mission myself. I mean I’ve spent money on way stupider ideas than this before .
Yeah me too, lol.
It looks to me like the entertainment end of it is a life support system to get them to the point where they can exploit the technology via patents etc. It’s a smart plan, imo. If they can survive long enough to make it through the R&D phase, they could take off like a bullet and make a ton of money as they change the world via radical advancements in the transportation and space exploration sectors. That seems like a Hail Mary at this point, but I think they learned a few things through their AATIP work that gives them good reason to think that they can pull it off. I just don’t see this group of people forging ahead in this manner, without a clear and compelling long-term game plan, in part based on insider knowledge that they can’t discuss publicly because of government security restrictions. That’s just my interpretation, but I think it’s well-founded.
What’s a little funds out of the liquor and ammo budget gonna hurt !?
If they get exciting results I’ll buy in , till then I patiently sip my whiskey and keep my guns topped off.
Haha – yeah that's what I'm waiting for too: exciting solid scientific findings. I too can think of worse ways to spend my money than investing a few bucks in the very thing that’s driven my own scientific studies for decades now: a serious effort to crack the mystery of AAV field propulsion so that mankind can, finally, start exploring and settling distant worlds. In my mind, the AAV phenomenon has always been proof that it can be done. And if "they" can do it, then so can we. We just need the key - the missing link between quantum field theory and general relativity. And these exotic aerial devices zipping around in our skies are the physical embodiment of that key.
Honestly I’m shocked to see that I’m not the only one who sees the end game here – I’ve spent my entire life trying to convince people that if we apply scientific research to the AAV phenomenon, we could trigger a new Renaissance for human civilization as we make our way to the stars, at last. These people are actually trying to do that right now.
I hope they can pull it off. Because that’s
exactly the kind of radical change that this effed up planet needs, and not a moment too soon.
