“The Republican chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee is leading the charge to declassify and make public what the intelligence community knows about ‘unidentified aerial phenomena'” reports The Washington Examiner.
“‘Look, here’s the interesting thing for me about all this and the reason why I think it’s an important topic, OK? We have things flying over our military bases and places where we’re conducting military exercises, and we don’t know what it is, and it isn’t ours. So, that’s a legitimate question to ask,’ Rubio said in a Thursday interview with Jim DeFede of CBS4 News in Miami. ‘I would say that, frankly, that if it’s something outside this planet, that might actually be better than the fact that we’ve seen some technological leap on behalf of the Chinese or the Russians or some other adversary that allows them to conduct this sort of activity.'”
“Rubio added: ‘But the bottom line is: If there are things flying over your military bases and you don’t know what they are because they’re not yours, and they exhibit, potentially, technologies that you don’t have at your own disposal, that to me is a national security risk and one that we should be looking into.'”
