Our colleague investigator John Greenewald Jr. in his
very important web page The Black Vault just
came from publish an official document, with a lot of redacted pieces, where
essentially a Committee of the U.S.Senate, probably presided by Sen. Harry Reid
–whom specifically is mentioned in the document— received a Navy Pilot who
pursued, locked-on and possibly shoot against a non identified target.
The pilot confess that he went and called the attention
of the Senators, hoping that other pilots would follow him, helping to promote
the UAP subject at a national level.
After reading the document, we don’t know who were all
the Senators that met with the pilot, neither who was the pilot.
But we come to know something very interesting: 1) when
the pilot returned to the carrier he was immediately tested for possible use of
drugs; 2) he didn’t know what happened with the video of the UAP he took; and
3) he was surprised for the total lack of interest by the authorities on the
carrier and later by the authorities of the Navy.
What happened before his appearance at the Senate
committee is not difficult to imagine. Either the pilot got in contact with
Senator Reed knowing his personal interest in the UAP subject, or Senator Reid
tried to reach the pilot to have a special meeting with him, because later the
Senator will persuade a couple of his colleagues to allocate 22 million dollars
to a project that supposedly would study the UAP at the Pentagon.
Our readers already know the story of those 22 million
dollars that went mostly to the entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, a political
supporter of Senator Reed.
And this is the end of the story.
The official document has the virtue to reveal some actions
taken before Senator Reid proposed to assign money for an official UAP
investigation by the Pentagon.
The other thing that we consider more relevant is the
total lack of interest by the Navy to know what happened to one of its pilots.
According with Mr. Greenewald, this F-18 pilot could have
been the one who took the video of the so-called “Gimbal” UAP, but nothing is
for sure.
Anyway, we consider quite relevant the hard work of The Black Vault to put light in many
nearly unknown official documents and activities that only the perseverance of
Mr. Greenewald makes him capable to obtain.
