The Truth Behind Trump\u2019s UFO Video Release |
Retired F-16 Pilot Reacts<\/b><\/font><\/big><\/center>
\n
\nOn May 8, the government released a new batch of UFO\/UAP material through the official PURSUE archive at war.gov\/ufo.<\/p>\n

The full release includes 161 files, but in this video I focus on the 28 videos.
\nI\u2019m Chris Lehto \u2014 a retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and former F-16 pilot with 18 years flying the Viper. I\u2019ve spent thousands of hours working with targeting pod and infrared footage, so I wanted to go through these videos carefully and give you my honest take.<\/p>\n

Most of what I saw looks mundane: balloons, aircraft, camera artifacts, parallax, and the confusing motion that happens when a drone like an MQ-9\/Reaper is orbiting while the sensor operator is moving the camera.<\/p>\n

But one file stood out.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t a video.<\/p>\n

It was the 1965 NASA Gemini 7 audio\/transcript, where Frank Borman and Jim Lovell discuss a \u201cbogey\u201d in low Earth orbit after separation from the Titan II booster. As a pilot, that word matters. \u201cBogey\u201d means unidentified \u2014 not confirmed hostile, not confirmed friendly.<\/p>\n

That does not prove aliens.
\n
\nBut it is interesting.<\/p>\n
