The Skinwalker Strikes Again
Former AARO boss get clobbered by pleasant fireplace
|
Effectively that interview didn’t go in accordance with script, did it? See, that is what occurs when an ostensibly sensible man like Sean |

Larry Holmes, not the housecat palookas who softened him up for what ought to’ve
been a non-event final week. As an alternative, the previous director of the Pentagon’s
wretched All-domain Anomaly Decision Workplace obtained inadvertently tripped up by
certainly one of his personal media allies – and now he seems to be like simply one other drained
cliche.
However the first query we must always ask is, why is that this man nonetheless doing press
interviews within the first place? Is it vainness? Are there rhetorical or different
scores he feels the necessity to settle with actual or imagined antagonists?
The previous CIA operator left AARO in December after 18 months for a job extra
suited to his impulses, i.e., Chief Expertise Officer for protection and
intelligence packages at Oak Ridge Nationwide Laboratory. He little doubt checked
the “Exceeds Expectations” field of his year-end overview by ignoring the actually
bizarre UFO instances and hyping the explainable ones, which no one provides a shit
about. And for good measure, he dropped a floater within the punchbowl on the way in which
out with that
“Historic Report,”
which scrupulously prevented any point out of (amongst many different omissions)
nuclear-base incursions and WMD tampering. And the
Tic Tac incident, which rejuvenated the worldwide UFO dialog in 2017? Neglect about it,
nowhere to be present in that masquerade of an official document.
However Kirkpatrick set the desk for final week’s snafu by becoming a member of a number of
round-table discussions –
December 2022,
October 2023, and
last November
– with oblivious and largely legacy-media homies who both didn’t learn about
or didn’t ask what AARO’s place was on two of probably the most conspicuous and
well-documented UFO instances this century.
And, um, what did the pilots say?
Probably the most visually intriguing, in fact, is the
2013 Aguadilla encounter, involving footage of transmedium UFO exercise off Puerto Rico recorded by
Customs and Border Safety. It was declassified by the Division of
Homeland Safety in 2023. Extra portentous, nevertheless, are the implications from
a radar knowledge harvest reaped by the
2008 Stephenville incident.
Eyewitness accounts of the spectacular UFO that buzzed the Texas cowtown 16
years in the past rated worldwide protection, in no small half as a result of FOIA motion
by Robert Powell pressured the Air Power to reverse preliminary denials and admit
that 10 F-16s from Carswell AFB had been working within the Stephenville
area that evening, per quite a few people on the bottom. Plus, the unknown radar
goal (no transponder) was cruising like a dorsal fin for the no-fly zone
round President Bush’s residence in Crawford some 70 miles southeast of
Stephenville. Inexplicably, by time the bogey hit the perimeter, no jet
fighters had been within the space. However radar data did observe a surveillance
airplane, doubtless an AWACS, keeping track of issues at 41,000 ft by flying
figure-8 patterns for almost 4 hours.
Throughout Bush’s presidency, no less than three unlawful breaches of restricted
airspace over Crawford’s “western White Home” made headlines, with personal
pilots being pressured down by F-16s. In response to FOIA-acquired FAA data, a
whole of 9 violations occurred throughout Bush’s time period, all from 2001-2005.
Each violator was apprehended and cited. There isn’t any point out of the 1/8/08
customer from Stephenville within the knowledge offered by the FAA. One additionally wonders:
the place was the air cowl that confronted the opposite responsible interlopers? Given
some
hairy historical precedents
about what can occur when fight plane mount aggressive responses to UFO
exercise, may there be some tacit navy coverage to again off within the absence
of demonstrably hostile intent? That’d be one helluva story.
However throughout Kirkpatrick’s media Q&As, not a single reporter requested what the
pilots or crew members who participated in Stephenville or Aguadilla incidents
– reconstructed with federal knowledge – needed to say. As a result of no one dared to
point out both case within the first place.
A ‘UFO faith’ within the Pentagon
Enter New York Submit reporter Steven Greenstreet.
Greenstreet is a tenacious journo on a mission. The UAP thriller insults his
intelligence. He dismisses researchers as “true believers,” “spooky hustlers,”
and “paranormal crusaders.” For the previous few years, he’s been engaged in his
personal campaign to goad Congress into investigating the Pentagon’s credulous
engagement with the UFO situation. He describes the $22 million for the Superior
Aerospace Weapon Methods Purposes Program (AAWSAP) in 2007 as a
“misappropriation of funds.” The main focus of his obsession is Skinwalker Ranch, a
nexus of reported UFO and different paranormal exercise in Utah, the place ongoing
investigations at the moment are 5 seasons deep right into a Historical past channel actuality
sequence.
Greenstreet is, in different phrases, the right vessel for Kirkpatrick. Within the
interview he dropped final week, Greenstreet virtue-signals by blaming “the UFO
hysteria of the previous six years” on
the New York Times. He accuses the media of being asleep on the wheel for failing to understand
the sketchy (at greatest) UFO historical past report launched by AARO in March. He
makes an attempt to attain factors with Kirkpatrick by describing AARO detractors as
zealots.
“A UFO faith has infiltrated the Pentagon,” Greenstreet declares after
getting Kirkpatrick to characterize even receptive DoD colleagues as a part of
“a faith,” a faith that even threatens nationwide safety. “This appears
like entrance web page information,” Greenstreet provides, “however you received’t discover it on the entrance
pages of the American mainstream media, who principally ignored Kirkpatrick’s AARO
report and who continued to publish tales about aliens and UFOs.”
The media ignored AARO’s report with headlines like these: “Pentagon finds ‘no
proof’ of UFO expertise in new UFO report” – NPR; “Pentagon research
finds no proof of alien life in reported UFO sightings going again many years”
– Related Press; “Pentagon report says most UFO sightings ‘abnormal
objects’ and phenomena” – Reuters; “Pentagon says no proof of UFO
cover-up by U.S.” – NBC; “Alien, UFO mothership shouldn’t be being hidden
from you: Pentagon report” – USA As we speak; “Pentagon finds no proof of
alien visits, hidden spacecraft” – Washington Submit; “Pentagon overview
finds no proof of alien coverup” – New York Occasions. However to itemize
Greenstreet’s myriad inaccuracies is irrelevant.
Whoops . . .
Twenty-two minutes by way of the half-hour split-screen interview (see beneath)
Greenstreet asks if SK had “any curiosity in any respect in UFOs” previous to his
appointment to guide AARO in 2022. Kirkpatrick says not past the films.
“Earlier than AARO, did you carry out any duties relating to UFOs or paranormal
phenomena?” SK says no. “Did you attend a 2018 Senate Armed Providers Committee
briefing on Skinwalker Ranch?”
Kirkpatrick will get this clean deer-in-the-headlights look
like Trump did when
requested six years in the past if he knew something about payoffs to Stormy Daniels. SK
pauses, gaze climbing the partitions, and says “Nnnno . . . I attended a briefing
on the request of Senate Armed Providers Committee on what was at the moment
related to the AATIP/AAWSAP analysis that was going (on) as an
unbiased outdoors, uh, reviewer, and I gave them my opinions at the moment.”
As a result of that’s simply what the Senate does – invite individuals who know nothing
a few topic to share their uninformed opinions.
Kirkpatrick tries a bit harm spin by clarifying “this was not a
authorities briefing” and winds up sounding like
Trump trying to explain
why he did or didn’t favor Putin’s phrase over American intelligence at a summit
in Helsinki. Throughout Greenstreet’s journey to Skinwalker Ranch a number of years in the past, he
explains to SK, ranch proprietor Brandon Fugal claimed he attended the exact same
SASC assembly — and Kirkpatrick was there too. Furthermore, Fugal insisted,
Kirkpatrick truly ran the assembly himself, informing attendees that
he, Kirkpatrick, “was already totally conscious of the truth of UFO phenomena.”
The useless finish blues
Kirkpatrick denies main the assembly, or making “aliens are actual”
statements. In a subsequent electronic mail change, SK tells Greenstreet “I didn’t
know that it was about Skinwalker Ranch till later. I don’t recollect it being
referenced by that identify through the briefing.” Greenstreet responds with slides
from Fugal’s 2018 Energy Level briefing, which function logos that learn
“Confidential Briefing/Skinwalker Ranch/U.S. Senate Choose Committee on
Intelligence.” Kirkpatrick denies being in on that specific assembly – the
one he attended, he assures Greenstreet, “was much less polished.” Kirkpatrick
doubles down by saying he didn’t, in truth, attend any such briefing on The
Hill in 2018 – “I consider it could have been 2017.”
“I don’t recall ever assembly Fugal,” SK provides. “Possibly he’s complicated the 2
conferences.”
Fugal responds to Greenstreet’s followup electronic mail question with the precise date of
the assembly – 19 April 2018 – together with assertions that he (Fugal) possesses
photographs, movies, and the names of each witness within the room. “That is all very
complicated,” Greenstreet confesses on the finish of his piece, “and at this level,
I merely don’t know who to consider.”
Fugal settled issues final Thursday by releasing a photograph (beneath) from the 2018
briefing – with Kirkpatrick staring into the digicam.
On April 19, 2018, my group from Skinwalker Ranch was requested to offer a
confidential briefing in Washington D.C. to the U.S. Senate Choose Committee
on Intelligence & United States Armed Providers Committee. Sean
Kirkpatrick was on the head of the desk. It lasted 2.5 hrs.

Don’t anticipate Steven Greenstreet to go to the darkish aspect – his dragonslayer
shtick compelled him to bury the lead of this shocking interview with an
intro that allowed Sean Kirkpatrick to proclaim his victimhood, as soon as once more, at
the arms of UFO crazies. As for the previous AARO boss, who might and may
have disappeared quietly into shadowland 5 months in the past, a bit recommendation – if
you’re truly having fun with this public determine gig, get higher sparring companions
than the stroke jobs who helped pave the highway to this useless finish.
