Pentagon faction campaigns to discredit UFO encounters

It's becoming increasingly obvious that there's a campaign by some in the Pentagon to change direction with the ongoing apparent slow UFO disclosure effort. Last week, The New York Times published an article that featured anonymous Pentagon officials who claimed that many new UAP encounters could be explained away as balloons or Chinese spy drones. This week, Military.com - an online publication with close ties to the Pentagon - ran an article about the famous 1948 Thomas Mantell UFO case. Mantell tragically crashed his plane and died on Jan. 7, 1948, while chasing after a UFO. Although many witnesses on the ground said they saw a gigantic UFO, the Air Force for years has maintained he was chasing after a balloon. Military.com parroted the controversial Air Force position again and made no mention of what witnesses to the event saw.
