Back in December we discussed the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program that the Pentagon supposedly ended in 2012. The original article was accompanied by a video in which two F/A-18s track a supposed UFO, but what we have now is a new video from 2015 in which another F/A-18 follows the flight of a very small object very close to the water, flying at high speed. As expected, half the web says the video is fake…
A New Video from 2015
The desire to find something different out there has not diminished, and with it, videos and 'evidence' multiply, always pointing in the same direction: world authorities know about the existence of extraterrestrials on Earth and have done everything possible to hide that information. The hornet's nest was shaken a bit when the group "To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science" published a video called 'Gimbal' in December last year, in which two F/A-18s chased a strangely moving oval object. The video was recorded through the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program that the Pentagon maintained until 2012 with a budget of $22 million. What's next on the list? Check this out:
The new object, a small white oval, doesn't seem to have conventional flight surfaces or a heat signature that reveals its propulsion system. The two F/A-18 pilots tracking the object are very excited about it, though they have no idea what it is. The capture was made with the ATFLIR sensor system, which is used exclusively by F/A-18s and includes a thermal camera. The 'event' took place on the East Coast of the United States in 2015, three years after the Pentagon's program closed its doors. According to Luis Elizondo, former head of the program and now director of security at "To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science", both videos (the one released in December and this one) are just "the tip of the iceberg".
The Controversy
So what's the problem? The web is neither slow nor lazy. Several users claimed to recognize the video and traced it back to a Vimeo link posted by a certain Jeremy Corbell... in 2015. If the video truly went through two years of bureaucracy and was revealed to the public a couple of days ago, how did it appear published on Vimeo with a date of 2015? Corbell's response was that the video 'is' new, and that Vimeo allows 'overwriting' content, preserving the title ('EAST COAST 2015') and the original timestamp. In other words, he uploaded the UFO short over one of his old videos. Obviously no one was satisfied with that answer, and Corbell's decision was to delete it, but Archive.org backed up the entry (though it didn't do the same with the video). The group's official statement boils down to "the video has a chain of custody and anyone can request it by invoking the Freedom of Information Act". Spokespeople for the Department of Defense said "no comment", and once again, the internet is on fire.
