Ex-UFO Chiefs Say Their Pentagon Bosses Misled Congress by Claiming UFOs That Swarmed U.S. Navy in 2019 Were Drones
The inside story of a 2019 UFO investigation by two top former intelligence officials was revealed in a jaw-dropping talk at a conference in Los Angeles.
The former head of the government’s UFO task force Jay Stratton and his chief scientist Travis Taylor spilled the secrets of their official probe into a swarm of objects that buzzed around a fleet of eight Navy ships off the US West Coast in July 2019.
Speaking at AlienCon in Pasadena on March 5, Stratton and Taylor said their investigation left them fearing Russia or China could have achieved incredible drone battery technology – or may have launched quadcopters from submarines that somehow evaded the Navy’s best radar just miles from the mainland.
But when the incident was recounted by their high-ranking Pentagon bosses to politicians and the public last year, it was presented as a very different story.
The world was watching with excitement on May 17, 2022 as military top brass briefed lawmakers in the first public Congressional hearing on UFOs in over 50 years.
Bray played lawmakers a July 2019 video shot through a green night vision lens, of apparently triangle-shaped, flashing flying objects near the Navy’s USS Russell off the US West Coast.
The top Navy official then suggested that the case had been solved: the objects were drones, and their triangular shape was not real but merely an effect of the camera lens.
The footage was all too familiar to Stratton. He says he and Taylor had investigated that case, and used frames from video shot by sailors on deck in a 2020 briefing he compiled for senior officials – as an example of a genuine UFO case that created a national security issue.
But now he was seeing it explained away to lawmakers on national TV as potentially standard drones, albeit with a spooky lens artifact.
… Taylor said he and Stratton were sitting in the lunchroom at their new employees, Radiance Technologies watching the hearing.
“And when they start talking about the Russell incident, I was like ”We did not brief him that way. That is not what we told him.’ ”
“It really, really did upset both Travis and me when we were watching that hearing,” Stratton added.
