Former National Security Advisor and retired Lieutenant General HR McMaster recently made surprising comments about UFOs, now known as “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (UAP), during a September 6 interview on “Real Time with Bill Maher.”
McMaster, who became the latest official to make eyebrow-raising comments about UFOs, noted, “There are phenomena that have been witnessed by several people that are simply unexplained by any science available to us.”
McMaster’s statements come as the Senate prepares to review the bipartisan Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Mike Rounds.
This law claims that a secret government program has been working to reverse engineer UAP of “unknown” and “non-human” origins. The legislation requires the federal government to take control of any recovered UAP and “biological evidence of non-human intelligence.”
The introduction of this law, along with recent comments from McMaster and other officials, signals a major shift in the U.S. government’s approach to UFOs. For decades, the government has dismissed credible UAP incidents.
However, the 2017 New York Times article revealing military encounters with UAP changed the story. Former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe have both made surprising comments about UAP, with Ratcliffe noting that UAP “demonstrates technologies that we do not have and…we cannot defend against.”
Given these developments, Congress should pass the Disclosure Act and solve the long-standing UFO mystery, especially since UAP has reportedly interacted with sensitive US military assets, including nuclear missile sites.
