The Major Cities Chiefs Association (MCCA) is a professional organization of police executives representing the largest cities in the United States and Canada. The organization provides a unique forum for urban police chiefs, sheriffs, and other law enforcement executives to share ideas, experiences, and strategies for the advancement of public safety.

In June of 2024, MCCA released its UAP Reference Guide.¹ UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon) has replaced UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) as the go-to term, the acronym for Unidentified Anomolous/Aerial Phenomena. The guide states that it is in the interest of law enforcement to be aware of trends and reporting on UAP due to the “unknown threat” they may pose and their “continued presence in controlled and restricted airspace” where police air support units operate. The guide delivers an overview and summary of current mainstream media news articles, government programs, US whistleblower testimonies, Congressional interest in the phenomena, and government and civilian UAP reporting programs. But, the package doesn’t tell all, and this is my argument. The story is clearly one that has arisen from deep within the corridors of government where truths and rights are placed at the bottom of the file, and the narrative is tightly controlled.

Section.1 of the UAP Reference Guide presents an article published on March 5, 2024 in The Hill, entitled “Spy balloons, drones, and advanced UAP pose a clear and present danger.”² The article states: “Unidentified objects in defended airspace represent a domain awareness gap … that … poses a clear and present danger to pilots and our soldiers that is more acute than ever.”

Really?

With all the satellite surveillance systems floating around in our skies, and billions of dollars in North American military defence spending each year, one would assume that a domain awareness gap would be virtually non-existent. Were there no lessons learned from the “domain awareness gap” that magically materialized on 9/11?

The article continues, referring to the shoot down of a balloon over US soil in February 2023. “Whereas the Chinese spy balloon was visible to civilians from the ground, the three other objects shot down by American fighters over Alaska, Canada, and Michigan the following weekend were only detected after the North American Aerospace Defense Command [NORAD] removed Cold War-era filters from its radar.”

What?

Are we to believe that NORAD, the branch of the US military responsible for the defence of North American airspace, was, up until February 2023, still using Cold War technology in its day-to-day operations? That is a scary thought! Even if this excuse is a valid one, why was a “Chinese spy balloon,” visible to the naked eye, left for days to drift half-way over the United States before being shot down?

Section.3 of the MCCA guide begins with a quote from the Introduction to the US Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) 63-page report dated March 6, 2024.³ “Since 1945, the United States Government has funded and supported UAP investigations with the goal of determining whether UAP represented a flight safety risk, technological leaps by competitor nations, or evidence of off-world technology under intelligent control. These investigations were managed and implemented by a range of experts, scientists, academics, military, and intelligence officials under differing leaders, all of whom held their own perspectives that led them to particular conclusions on the origins of UAP. However, they all had in common the belief the UAP represented an unknown, and, therefore, theoretically posed a potential threat of an indeterminate nature.” But, in the Executive Summary of the same report, AARO states: “Although many UAP reports remain unsolved or unidentified, AARO assesses that if more and better quality data were available, most of these cases also could be identified and resolved as ordinary objects or phenomena.”

So which is it?

An existential threat to humanity or weather balloons and atmospheric illusions? What this report basically says is “we presume these objects are a threat, so give us more funding and we’ll look into this more deeply.”

It’s also worth mentioning here that the “common belief” held by the “experts” that UAP has represented an unknown and potential threat, has not been the order of the day, not in the least. Most of the early UFO research programs headed up by the US government, as well as those here in Canada, found nothing that would indicate any type of threat to national security. It wasn’t until the New York Times article of December 2017, “On the Trail of a Secret Pentagon U.F.O. Program,”⁴ that the threat narrative entered into the mainstream mind-control media. It’s been building ever since. Why? And on what basis?
