Part two
Now entering into this story is Tom Delonge, the lead singer for the band Blink-182. Delonge, a UFO enthusiast, founded a group called To the Stars Academy (TTSA), an entertainment company devoted to producing movies, books, etc. about UFOs and also intending to construct their own flying saucer.
Link. Delonge claims to have been contacted by individuals within the Pentagon who assured him that UFOs are real, that aliens are among us, that they have been influencing human development and evolution for millennia, and that ET encounters are the basis for many major human religious traditions.
Link. TTSA was founded with the help of Puthoff and CIA agent Jim Semivan.
Link.
Delonge claimed to have been contacted by a high-ranking general in the Pentagon, a fact which was confirmed by Russian hackers dumping John Podesta's emails onto Wikileaks.
Link. In those emails, Delonge references a general McCasland who he says was in charge of the lab at Wright Patterson Airforce base near Dayton Ohio where material from Roswell was taken and studied. Delonge states that McCasland helped Delonge "assemble [his] advisory team" for TTSA. McCasland is still stationed at Wright Patterson Air Force base as Commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory there and has been since 2011 according to his bio.
Link. Although it appears that is not actually the case.

It turns out that at least two of the people that Delonge was in contact with were Luis Elizondo and Christopher Mellon. Elizondo, a counter intelligence specialist, and Mellon, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense who is one of the heirs to the massive Mellon fortune, handpicked Leslie Kean to write the 2017 article about AATIP. Kean has stated that Mellon specifically resigned his post at the Pentagon then immediately brought her the photographs and videos and formed the basis of that article.
Link. Kean has an intense interest in UFOs and also the afterlife; she regularly attends seances which she states make real contact with spiritual beings that are able to move physical objects.
After resigning their posts in the Pentagon, Elizondo and Mellon became involved in TTSA.
Link. In a grand presentation the two revealed photographs and videos taken from the Pentagon which they claimed showed UFOs (I apologize, I cannot find the video for this anymore). One video turned out to be a picture of a balloon that had been flipped upside down. Another, purporting to show an object moving at unbelievable speeds with no visible propulsion, turned out to actually be moving 40mph, the same speed as prevailing winds in the area.
Link. There are other videos from the 2017 NY Times article that remain unexplained.
Elizondo has gone on to appear in numerous movies and interviews. Without proof, I imagine he has made a good deal of money off of UFOs. Elizondo left TTSA in 2020.
Link.
Following the publication of the 2017 article, Congress responded by requiring the Pentagon to produce a report on UFOs, which it turns out was headed by Jay Stratton and Dr. Travis Taylor. Both Stratton and Taylor are now in the private sector working at Radiance Technologies in Huntsville, AL.
Link. Taylor is arguably the star of the History Channel show The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. Stratton is set to make several guest appearances on that show in the near future.
In recent events, the US shot down a Chinese spy balloon which featured heavy media attention and released photographs and video of the balloon being shot down and recovered.
Link. Shortly thereafter, the US shot down three additional objects, one over Alaska, one over Canada, and another over Michigan.
Link. None of these objects have ever been identified and no photos or videos have ever been released of their destruction or recovery.
AATIP has now morphed into the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) after bi-partisan support for increased study of UFOs resulted in a permanent Pentagon program that reports to Congress, headed by Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick. Dr. Kirkpatrick has testified before Congress that, “I should also state clearly for the record that in our research, AARO has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology or objects that defy the known laws of physics.”
Link.
In recent testimony, Kirkpatrick stated that AARO has identified over 600 cases over half of which involve metallic orbs.
Link. An example of these orbs can be found
here. UFO Filmmaker Jeremy Corbell has also released a video of a similar orb over Iraq.
Link.
Another person to note in this story is Dr. Garry Nolan, a noted biologist who says he was contacted by the CIA to study pilots who had come in close contact with UAPs.
Link. Nolan claims that extraterrestrials are 100% here and that coming into contact with their craft has led to real world medical complications for those unfortunate enough to do so. Interestingly, Nolan also claims to have witnessed a UFO as a young boy.
Link. Apparently, Nolan was initially contacted by Christopher "Kit" Green of the CIA, who also convinced Brandon Fugal to purchase Skinwalker Ranch from Bigelow.

Link.
But most recently, David Grusch has come forward claiming that while working with AARO he discovered the existence of a UFO crash retrieval program and that Dr. Kirkpatrick won't return his phone calls about it. Grusch, an intelligence officer with the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, claims that numerous officials whom he had known his entire life and respected confided in him that they were part of a UFO retrieval and reverse engineering program, that this program is about 90 years old at least, that the program is not subject to Congressional oversight, that the non-human intelligences (NHI) involved with these craft have at times harmed living humans, and that some of the recovery of these craft include the recovery of NHI pilots. In the interview, Grusch opines that these craft are not strictly extraterrestrial in origin but rather states that they may be co-located with us here on Earth but traverse a higher dimensional plane allowing them to pass through time while remaining in the same physical location on Earth.
Link. In other words, Grusch is claiming, based upon conversations with others that he trusts, that UFOs and their operators are in fact time travelers from Earth. Interestingly, many of these same claims were made by Edgar Mitchell. These claims are also made by Hal Puthoff, he calls these creatures "Ultraterrestrials".
Link.
It seems to me that these people, Eric Davis, Edgar Mitchell, Robert Bigelow, Tom Delonge, Garry Nolan, Leslie Kean, Brandon Fugal, Travis Taylor, and now David Grusch, are simply being misled. At the heart of every one of these people's contacts stands Hal Puthoff, a former Scientologist and parapsychologist. It would not be the first time that actors within the US government have intentionally misled members of the public regarding UFOs. But what the motive is for such a bizarre string is beyond my imagination. But I will continue to follow it, so I guess the joke's on me.
