UK UFO.

When Nick Pope speaks we must all listen! I for one am. Nick Pope - Former Head Of The MoD’s [British] UFO Research Program

"TRUTH IS OUT THERE I led UK’s secret UFO division and a forgotten sighting still haunts me – HUNDREDS saw it, so why was it ignored?"

From https://www.thesun.co.uk | the story by Alison Maloney  2 May 2023. Image thanks also "The Sun" and edited.

"A MYSTERIOUS triangular craft zipped across the sky over a military base and, as astonished Ministry of Defense police looked on, aimed a search light at the ground below."

"The incredible sighting above Cosford RAF Base in Shropshire on March 31, 1993, was one of hundreds reported across the UK by members of the public, police officers and military personnel over a two day period."

"Even here we are on the verge of creating sentient AI, so imagine what a civilization with a million years' head start has probably achieved" - Nick Pope

"Five years ago this was all crazy conspiracy theories, sci-fi fantasy; now it’s discussed in Congress and NASA's doing a study... the UK is still playing catch up. We need to up our game" - Nick Pope

"The unofficial postscript was ‘thank goodness they were friendly, because if they hadn't been there was nothing we could have done’" - Nick Pope.

Paranormal experiences of the disinterested and trained military observer operating without agenda to be given a very high degree of credence! So is the thought!

How are we to know the space aliens if indeed they do exist are friendly? Perhaps these objects that have been observed are unmanned recce [reconnaissance] missions prior to the arrival of the invasion fleet?

Hello earthlings! We come in peace Sure!

T-14 Armata.

This is coolbert:

“'Production is probably only in the low tens while commanders are unlikely to trust the vehicle in combat,' . . . 'Eleven years in development, the program has been dogged with delays, reduction in planned fleet size, and reports of manufacturing problems.'”

Russian state-of-the art main-battle tank now in action the Ukraine Conflict? So it seems.

"Russia’s new T-14 Armata battle tank debuts in Ukraine: Report"

Courtesy here https://www.aljazeera.com | 25 Apr 2023.

"The T-14 has an unmanned turret, and its crews remotely control the armaments, but Western intel says it has problems."

"Russia has begun using its new T-14 Armata battle tanks to fire on Ukrainian positions “but they have not yet participated in direct assault operations”, the RIA state news agency reports."

[....]

"It also said any deployment of the T-14 would likely be 'a high-risk decision' for Russia and one taken primarily for propaganda purposes."

ARMATA USING THE AUTOLOADING FEATURE THAT MAKES RUSSIAN TANKS SUSCEPTIBLE TO DESTRUCTION OF A CATASTROPHIC NATURE. A SPONTANEOUS DETONATION OF INTERNAL WEAPON STORES! TURRET FLUNG FAR AND WIDE!

Recruitment problem? Harpy to the rescue!

"US Navy Used Drag Queen [Harpy Daniels] Influencer To Attract A ‘Wide Range’ Of New Troops As Recruitment Plummets"

https://dailycaller.com | story by MICAELA BURROW | May 01, 2023

"The Navy brought on a drag queen, who is an active duty sailor, to a 'digital ambassador' program aimed at targeting a wider array of potential recruits through digital platforms like Instagram, a spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation."

"The Navy is seeking different ways of reaching younger recruits as it faces a historic recruiting crisis, according to social media reports."

"The Navy brought on an active-duty drag queen to participate in a pilot program aimed at reaching a wider audience through popular social media platforms as the military faces severe recruiting woes"

OH MY! Nothing more will I say. Devoted readers to the blog must draw their own conclusions.

Fully expect this too the type of story the Russian can use to their advantage to "make hay".

"US Installing ‘Atomic Sensors’ Across Ukraine To Detect Use Of Nuclear Or Dirty Bombs By Russian Military"

From https://eurasiantimes.com | the story by Ashish Dangwal | April 28, 2023.

"The US is installing a network of sensors across Ukraine to detect a possible nuclear explosion and bursts of radiation, the New York Times reported."

"The sensors will be able to detect radiation from both a dirty bomb and a nuclear weapon activated in Ukraine, the report said."

[....]

"The sensors will presumably serve as deterrence because they would make Russian decision-makers aware the United States can expose the use of a nuclear weapon as a false-flag operation, the report cited the statement as saying."

The Russian will say a big NO and very emphatically so!! This has to do with depleted uranium munitions that are being provided to the Ukrainian from NATO stockpiles. Such will be the Russian perspective.

See previous blog entries the topic the use of depleted uranium munitions Ukraine:

Gold is where you find it. So they say. Anthrax sometimes too. 

"Russian Soldiers Have Been Infected With Anthrax In Ukraine"

"Reports circulated this week that anthrax has been discovered in a Russian trench line and a small number of soldiers were infected."

From 19FortyFive | By | Peter Suciu.

"Anthrax Discovered in Ukraine: Conditions in parts of Ukraine increasingly resemble those of the First World War, as both sides have dug trench lines, and artillery duels are now all too commonplace. Reports circulated this week that anthrax has been discovered in a Russian trench line and a small number of soldiers were infected. Yet, this isn’t a case of biological or chemical warfare."

"Rather, the UK’s Telegraph newspaper reported that the soldiers had unearthed a burial site for cattle while digging a defensive line in southern Ukraine in the Kherson Oblast. The unit was ordered to immediate quarantine, while two soldiers were admitted to a hospital in the occupied city of Melitopol."

Mass burial site Ukraine, contaminated cattle having been found to be infected with anthrax, killed and then buried in a large pit. So is the way diseased cattle are normally disposed of.

Russian troops digging a trench line have accidentally uncovered the burial site and inadvertently exposed themselves to anthrax.

I strongly suspect the Russian is going to try to "make hay" of this story!

"make hay - verb | To take advantage of an opportunity."

Expect the Russian to conjecture that this an incident of the American biowarfare laboratories in Ukraine have released weaponized anthrax. Those "American biowarfare laboratories" in actuality Soviet-era biowarfare laboratories financed by the USA government not necessarily for the express purpose of creating bio-toxin agents.

"EXCLUSIVE: Amid Recruiting Woes, Officers Allege The Army Is Preventing Their Scheduled Discharge"

From https://dailycaller.com | MICHAEL GINSBERG | CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT | April 24, 2023.

"The U.S. Army is changing its terms of service guidelines and denying soldiers scheduled discharges, a letter signed by sixty-one aviation officers alleges."

[....]

"The recruitment and retention failures impact all parts of the military, including its most elite units, multiple news outlets have reported. In an effort to compensate for personnel limitations, the Army is changing its service requirement guidelines for some officers, according to a letter sixty-one aviation officers submitted to members of Congress. The officers assert that by reinterpreting contract language, the Army is preparing to tack on three years of service to the seven or eight years the airmen were initially promised."

You did say you wanted to fly airplanes! Didn't you!!

Turchin.

This is coolbert:

Cossacks? The American army? Cossacks the American Civil War? Cossacks?

YES and indeed! Consider the career of John Turchin, BG, USA.

Thanks for the tip from the Russian controlled [?] Internet media outlet Sputnik.

"Ivan Vasilyevich Turchaninov (Russian: Иван Васильевич Турчанинов); December 24, 1822 – June 18, 1901) better known by his Anglicized name of John Basil Turchin, was a Union Army brigadier general in the American Civil War. He led two critical charges that saved the day at Chickamauga and was among the first to lead soldiers up Missionary Ridge. He was court-martialed for allowing his men to perpetrate the 'Sack of Athens,' and found guilty of all charges, but President Abraham Lincoln promoted him to brigadier general, which invalidated the verdict, as an officer could only be tried by those of equal or greater rank."

Turchin as a Russian with service in the Tsarist Imperial army during the Crimean War. Turchin an able and competent commander during the American Civil War with extensive combat experience in crucial battles.

Turchin might have been personally known to President Lincoln from both men having been pre-war in the employ of the Illinois Central Railroad? Lincoln a corporate lawyer, Turchin a construction engineer.

Turchin with his railroad background was the one who came up with the idea of the military armored train?

Turchin unfortunately his record blemished by atrocity Athens, Alabama?
