White House Reignites “Mystery Drone” Controversy with Puzzling New Statement Micah Hanks·January 30, 2025 https://thedebrief.org/white-house-reignites-mystery-drone-controversy-with-puzzling-new-statement/
“Our military knows where they took off from,” Trump said from his Mar-a-Lago home in December. “They know where it came from and where it went.” Similarly, while speaking to Republican governors on January 9, Trump said he planned to issue “a report on drones about one day into administration,” adding that he found it “ridiculous that they are not telling you about what’s going on with the drones.” Immediately after returning to the Oval Office on January 20, Trump was again asked about the mystery drones and directed his Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, to investigate.

“Scenarios:
Least Likely: The U.S. Department of Defense will quickly integrate UAS technology and training from Ukraine into its mainstream, operational-level, frontline units. It would take an unprecedented level of commitment from all levels of the command structure and an extraordinary degree of political cooperation to shift the status quo.
Most Likely: The U.S. will fall farther and farther behind the leading edge of UAS deployment and will only begin to respond in the aftermath of a crisis. My discussions with Capitol Hill legislators, frontline military leaders, defense analysts, and doctrine scholars lead invariably to the same independent conclusion: the American defense procurement system is too vast, and the regulatory frameworks too inscrutable, to meaningfully adopt UAS capabilities into existing defense doctrine or practice. An event akin to Pearl Harbor or 9/11, with the physical destruction of tens of billions of dollars of hardware and a substantial loss of life will be required to jumpstart the innovation cycle and break down the thickets of red tape which make initiative next to impossible.
Best Case: Conceivably, this kind of depressing scenario can be avoided through a well-managed artificial crisis. Historical examples, such as the famous sinking of the Ostfriesland, show that it is sometimes possible to break entrenched paradigms by publicly demonstrating the current system’s vulnerabilities. When understood by the right audiences, these demonstrations can shift doctrine development and tactical training in new and constructive ways—preferably before the lessons are learned the hard way.”

SUMMARY
In this episode of Anomaly Now, host Miles Lewis covers the highlights and news from the Anomaly Archives over the past few months, including the latest developments with the James Webb Space Telescope, tributes to fellow anomaly researchers who have passed away, and an update on the Anomaly Academy lecture series. Miles encourages listeners to check out the comprehensive links and information available on the Anomaly Archives website, as well as the audio recordings of past Anomaly Now episodes. He emphasizes the wealth of content covered, from UFOs and parapsychology to cryptozoology, and invites the audience to join the Anomaly Archives community by supporting their work on Patreon. The podcast hosts discuss the different tiers of support available for their show on Patreon, and mention an upcoming live event featuring their guest speaker Aaron Goliath. They also touch on the recent popularity of the “Telepathy Tapes” podcast, expressing both excitement and concerns about the controversial technique of “facilitated communication” that it is reminiscent of. The hosts recommend a skeptical article by Greg Taylor that delves into the history and potential issues with the “Telepathy Tapes” phenomenon. The podcast discusses how magicians and mentalists use the ideomotor effect, a phenomenon where unconscious muscle movements reveal hidden information, to seemingly perform telepathic feats. The host then delves into the “Telepathy Tapes” experiments, where children with disabilities demonstrate apparent psychic abilities. However, the host acknowledges that the ideomotor effect may also be present in these cases, and cautions that the children’s privacy and well-being must be protected. The host recommends the audience read an article by Greg Taylor that explores this complex issue in depth. The speakers discussed several upcoming documentaries and podcasts related to the UFO phenomenon. They highlighted the “Contactee” documentary by Ideaswamp.com, which features interviews with notable figures like Greg Bishop, Aaron Goulias, and the Reverend from the Blue Rose Ministries. The speakers were particularly excited about the focus on experiencers and contactees, which they feel has been lacking in recent UFO productions. They also discussed the “Ontocalypse” mini-documentary series, which takes a similar approach by centering the perspectives of experiencers like J. Christopher King and Diana Walsh Basulka. Overall, the speakers expressed a desire for more diverse voices and experiences to be represented in the UFO discourse. The interview with Mario Woods, featured on the Anomaly Archives podcast, is a compelling and in-depth exploration of his experiences guarding a nuclear weapons launch site. The host, Jesse, allows Woods to share his story with minimal interruption, resulting in a fascinating and insightful dialogue. The discussion touches on the ongoing societal obsession with nuclear weapons and the complex issues surrounding their development and deployment. The podcast is highly recommended for its thoughtful and engaging approach to this important topic. The speaker discusses the challenges of incorporating unmanned aerial systems (UAS) capabilities into existing defense doctrine and practice. They suggest that a major crisis akin to Pearl Harbor or 9/11 may be required to spur innovation and break down regulatory barriers. The speaker also explores the “audition hypothesis” – the idea that the drone sightings in New Jersey could be a demonstration of new technologies vying for defense contracts. They note the involvement of billionaires like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel in these efforts, and the proliferation of drone delivery companies that may be testing their capabilities. Overall, the speaker paints a complex picture of the challenges and potential motivations behind the ongoing drone saga. The discussion covers the emerging operational drone delivery networks in Texas and New Jersey, specifically highlighting the activities of Zipline, a company that operates vertical take-off and landing drones that can fly like airplanes. The CEO, Renato Keller, has shared videos showcasing their night operations and rapid scaling up of the New Jersey facility in recent months. However, there are questions around whether these drones could be linked to the mysterious drone sightings reported by the former President Trump, who claimed the government knew the origin and destination of the drones. The new White House administration has now acknowledged the authorized research and testing of drones in the area, but the public remains uncertain about the exact nature and purpose of these drone activities. The speakers discuss the recent surge of “UFO/UAP disclosure” events, including online lectures, whistleblower testimonies, and podcasts featuring experts on topics like reverse-engineering alien technology and anti-gravity. They express concerns about the credibility of some individuals, like Jacob Barber, but acknowledge the interesting nature of the stories being told, including descriptions of unusual craft shapes. The speakers encourage the audience to explore the available resources and interviews to draw their own conclusions about these developments in the UFO/UAP field. The discussion covers a complex web of connections and claims surrounding a company called Green Street, its founder Jacob Barber, and the SALT Conference – an event where UFO figures frequently speak to tech and financial elites. Barber is alleged to have launched his own UFO organization, Skywatcher, and claims to have witnessed strange craft transporting “psionic children” as part of a psychic recruitment program. The speakers also mention a novel called “Sentinels of Ether” that may be connected to these events, though the authorship is unclear. Overall, the conversation delves into the intriguing and sometimes fantastical claims surrounding these individuals and their alleged involvement in the UFO and conspiracy theory landscape. In his presentation, Aaron Goulias delved into the early UFO era and the FBI’s role in investigating these mysterious sightings. Through captivating storytelling, he shed light on the street-level details and insights surrounding this fascinating chapter of history. Goulias’s engaging style promises an enlightening and entertaining exploration of this intriguing topic.
