The Extraterrestrial Highway conspiracy now runs from Area 51 in Nevada to the steps of Congress in Washington DC. It is the intersection of Unidentified Flying Objects, now given the more appropriate scientific/military name: Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon (UAP), and Congress.

Flying saucers have managed to initiate something the American voter has failed to do: create bipartisan relationships in the conspiracy minded halls of Congress. This, in just a short two years after a mob of partisan terrestrials tried to overturn a presidential election. Some say our government never saw that unidentified anomalous mob making its way down I-95. Now Congress is looking into the cosmos to unite their conspiracy minded beliefs.

But there is nothing like a good conspiracy theory to bring people together. And the UFO conspiracy is still going strong. Fox Mulder was right. The truth is out there and Congress will get to the bottom of it no matter where the deep state is hiding ETs. (Congress will pursue it In the same vigorous manner it searched for missing government documents being used as paper placemats at seaside beach club restaurant.).

It makes sense. There is a strong possibility that intelligent life is out there. We have sent two Voyager probes out into deep space to see what they can see. And undoubtedly, if aliens see them, they will be UAPs. NASA is also using telescopes in space and on the ground to look back into the cosmos, searching for possible life. According to NASA they have “confirmed more than 4,000 exoplanets.” It’s possible maybe some entity on one of those planets was able to develop warp drive and boldly go where no entity has gone before.

What doesn’t make sense is that our government has been covering up some sort of “Independence Day” Bat Cave full of alien body parts and scraps of crashed space crafts. It makes as much sense as Jewish space lasers starting forest fires. But maybe instead of starting fires, Jewish space laser downed a UAP that caused those fires. So maybe, just maybe there are dead incinerated ET fertilizing a rejuvenated California forest. If that is the case, the Defense Department has done a much better job keeping a secret than our former president. He could not keep his cache of pilfered top secret documents hidden in a Florida bathroom.

Meanwhile, we have been told continually, by different administrations and Congresses, there is an alien crisis. This crisis, however, is not in the skies but at our borders. Hordes of unwanted (and somewhat identifiable) aliens are swarming over our walls, swimming across rivers and over coming whatever obstacles the state of Texas can erect.

In fact there is a deep concern that the House Homeland Security Committee is on path to recommend impeachment hearings against the head of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas. Republican Congressmen say that he is engaging in “egregious misconduct,” and has refused to enforce the law when it comes to keeping aliens from crossing the southern border. Nothing about alien ETs. At some time Congress may just turn the whole immigration crisis over to Texas.

I am not sure our Congress can get out from under its own parochial interests when it comes to UAP. According to NASA, which would play a huge part in investigating UAP, “The scientific method challenges us to solve problems by impartially evaluating our own ideas, by being willing to be wrong, and by following the data.” Does that sound anything like our Congress? We could not agree on a scientific method during the pandemic or how to implement a climate change policy. What makes us think there will be some sort of consensus in Congress concerning the ongoing mysteries of flying saucers?

Determining what UAP are is tough because most of our scientific satellites are looking out into deep space for life. Others are on hard ground, probes rolling around on Mars digging up Martian dirt. Our spaceborn satellites are not censored and calibrated to spot a UAP in our atmosphere. There is no traffic cop looking down for ancient aliens running red lights in our own ozones. For all we know ETs are using the Earth as a cosmic intersection while flying off to Alpha Centauri. We are the podunk planet without a flashing yellow light waiting for some galactic hitchhiker to put a thumb out.

The mission of the AARO (The All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office ) will be to synchronize efforts across the Department of Defense, and with other U.S. federal departments and agencies, to detect, identify and attribute objects of interest in, on, or near military installations, operating areas, training areas, special use airspace and other areas of interest, and, as necessary, to mitigate any associated threats to safety of operations and national security. This includes anomalous, unidentified space, airborne, submerged and transmedium objects.

Now, all of a sudden there is a dire concern about aerial phenomena racing across the sky, or in some case just floating aimlessly across the continent. This is a stunner considering Congress can barely agree on closer earthly encounters, like paying our country’s debt. If there is a conspiracy it is the diploid dance being done in Congress. It has the makings of a legislative sleight of hand. “Look up look down your pants are on the ground!”

But relax, America. If Mars were to attack, your Congress is on the case. But should we really expect much from the same group of lug nuts that took three weeks to elect a new Speaker of the House? All this gives new meaning to: Take me to your Leader.

The thing is, it is not like UAP are falling out of the sky like acorns off an oak tree in September. According to NPR, “The Pentagon’s new office for investigating potential UFO sightings received hundreds of new reports in 2022, and while it can explain more than half of those events, a sizable chunk remains a mystery.

“The All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence say, they’re focusing on some 171 cases — including some in which objects “appear to have demonstrated unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities, and require further analysis.”

“Current FAA guidelines suggest that citizens wanting to report UAP contact their local law enforcement or one or more non-governmental organizations, which is inadequate for drawing scientific inferences. Although such eyewitness reports are often interesting and compelling, they are insufficient on their own for making definitive conclusions about UAP.”

It is the analysis where we fly into the unknown. What is needed is a systematic method for figuring out what is darting across our skies. For instance, if Joe Six Pack driving home one night after consuming a six pack at the local watering hole sees what he is sure is a flying saucer or some sort of aerial phenomenon his only reporting agency is the local sheriff’s office, which I am sure has more important things to do than chase after flying pink elephants. Chances are DUI charges will outweigh the UAP sighting.

Therein lies the true concern about UAP. Nobody flying at 35,000 feet wants to run into a weather balloon set loose in China. Worst yet no pilot wants to be sharing the skies with an alien using visual flight rules and who has not filed a flight plan with the FAA. There is a safety aspect to getting a grip on UAP flying at different altitudes no matter how fast they are flying. It is all about flying safe.

But really, do we want the United States Congress anywhere near trying to solve UAP mystery? All they want to know is where ET is.
