One of the last things you’d expect when stupid politicians face off in the first Republican Presidential Primary debate is a discussion of the controversial topic of UFOs, or unidentified anomalous phenomena as they’re now known, but that’s exactly what happened last night .
The awkward moment in the debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Wednesday night (Aug. 23) with eight potential presidential candidates came when moderator Martha MacCallum turned to former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to ask his opinion on a president’s responsibility to provide the American public with the truth about the UFO subject.
“I understand the UFO question?” Christie responded with a smile. Christie was a good sport on the unexpected subject being lobbied specifically to him as he was questioned on his own thoughts on transparency with the country on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) in the wake of intriguing Congressional hearings on the subject last July.
“The job of the President of the United States is to align with the American people on everything. The job of the President of the United States is to stand up for the truth,” Christie replied.

“Especially coming from a woman from New Jersey, I hate that because I’m from New Jersey you asked me about unidentified flying objects and Martians. We’re different, but we’re not that different.”
This New Jersey connection refers to Orson Welles’ infamous Mercury Theater radio broadcast of HG Wells’ “War of the Worlds” on October 30, 1938, when a panicked public believed hostile Mars tripod machines were actually rampaging through the countryside near Grovers. Mill, New Jersey.
The topic of UFOs or UAP has recently taken center stage in Washington, D.C., as federal agencies and even the Department of Defense have begun issuing public statements that appear to indicate that pilots and other military personnel have increasingly encountered anomalous objects that exhibit advanced capabilities. .
The Department of Defense (DOD) has even created an office known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) to track and identify UAP in US airspace.
Despite cataloging hundreds of reports, the bureau chief told members of the United States Senate Armed Forces Committee in April 2023 that AARO has “so far found no credible evidence of extraterrestrial activity, alien technology, or objects associated with the known defy laws. of physics.”
Then, in July, a veteran of the U.S. military and intelligence community told a Congressional subcommittee that the U.S. government is hiding a “multi-decade-long UAP crash recovery and reverse engineering program” and possesses “non-human spacecraft.” .
