'Clear and present danger': New UFO handbook issued to US police
US police officers have received a handbook focused on managing "unidentified anomalous phenomena." Read the full article at RT.com.
Distributed by the Major Cities Chiefs Association, which includes law enforcement leaders from the largest cities in both the US and Canada, this manual was circulated this past summer.
Within its 11 pages, the guide emphasizes that unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) observed in US airspace indicate a significant lack of "domain awareness," posing a "clear and present danger" to both pilots and military personnel. It highlights analyses from multiple government bodies, including the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which have labeled these phenomena as a significant national security threat due to their mysterious capabilities and origins.
Highlighted within the guidelines are various UFO-related investigations, referencing statements from individuals such as David Grusch, a former intelligence official with the US Air Force, who has been actively involved in such cases.
In a notable Congressional hearing concerning UAPs, Grusch mentioned his interviews with Pentagon officials who had firsthand encounters with aircraft believed to be of "nonhuman" origin, with reports of so-called "biologics" being retrieved from these vessels.
The guidelines also reflect on experiences shared by US Navy pilots Ryang Graves and David Fravor. In one famous incident in 2004, Fravor encountered and recorded the 'Tic Tac' UFO while flying near California.
Additionally, the manual includes narratives from police officers who have reported encounters with unexplained aircraft during their patrols. One such account from an officer detailed seeing a triangular UFO with three dim green lights, an object unlike conventional helicopters or airplanes, while driving a patrol vehicle.
Shortly after this sighting, the same officer attended a call from a local homeowner reporting an unidentified entity moving outside his home, which did not resemble any known animal sounds.
Concluding the guide, the MCAA provides numerous resources and encourages officers to report any unusual sightings or incidents promptly. However, it clarifies that the content of the manual reflects gathered information from open sources and does not necessarily represent the views or policies of the MCAA itself.
