DOD Claims Pentagon Planted Fake UFO Stories

[FlyersFan]

Code name "Yankee Blue".  Lasted from the 1980s to 2023 .... supposedly.  

So did the Pentagon plant fake UFO stories in the media to cover for top secret military test flights?  OR ...  Did the UFO events actually happen and this story about the Pentagon planting UFO stories is the actual fake story made up to cover actual UFO events?

I think BOTH.

Pentagon planted UFO myths to hide secret weapons programs

• A 2024 Pentagon review found the U.S. military spread fake UFO stories to conceal Cold War weapons testing
  
• An Air Force colonel admitted planting false flying saucer photos near Area 51 to hide stealth jet development
  
• AARO investigators uncovered decades of military disinformation that fueled popular alien conspiracy theories
  

A newly revealed Department of Defense review shows that the U.S. military deliberately spread UFO rumors—including staged photos and false briefings—to protect classified weapons programs. The practice wasn’t just passive denial or silence. In some cases, it was policy.

Ah... Maybe this means Bob lazar really did work for the government!

I am firmly in the "they're ours" camp.

Well...Lockheed's actually (and others)

For what it's worth it just smacks of a pretty poor attempt at perception management (and narrative reset) to me - you'd really think they could do better in this day and age.

Certainly not the first time the WSJ has spoonfed Gov Bullshit to its readership (although I would imagine they remain completely oblivious).

Using the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon is Gaslighting the Public on UFOs—Again


In that respect, the article’s publication in a premier media outlet bears the hallmarks of Project Mockingbird, the CIA’s Cold War-era program that covertly infiltrated top-tier newsrooms to launder government narratives and suppress inconvenient truths. Through Mockingbird, intelligence operatives didn’t just influence news; they shaped reality for the public.

Also, considering they got busted lying to everyone about UFO U-2 spy plane fiasco seems they've just switched the op and are now blaming stealth.

Incredible that some people will unquestionably buy it.

T.K. Randall notes the WSJ article's contention that the AF promoted "UFO sightings" as explanations for actual U.S. stealth-fighter testing.

We note that this new "stealth fighter" ploy recalls a 1997 assertion by National Reconnaissance Office historian Gerald K. Haines, still promoted by some, that "Blue Book investigators were able to attribute many UFO sightings to U-2 flights."

Intriguingly, both Dr. Bruce Maccabee, the late Naval optical physicist and ufologist, and "well-known UFO cynic" Robert Sheaffer debunked this claim in Leonard David's January 14, 2015, article - UFO report dates and U2 test flight dates didn't match up.

I thought everyone knew about these programs. There is a TV show 'Project U. F. O.', 1978-79, produced by an Air Force colonel. It is so obvious.




Some explanation, some doubt, some misdirection, some smoke and mirrors. They used magicians in WWII to protect the Suez canal, why not use similar tactics for both hiding military projects and possibly aliens.

Rand analysts state that the WSJ article 'mirrors Russian-style disinformation tactics almost point for point' noting 'high-volume multichannel delivery, rapid continuous repetition, no commitment to objective reality, and mutually contradictory stories launched simultaneously without embarrassment'.
