In the 1940s, the CIA first became involved in UFOs. Since then, a number of
former US military personnel and CIA officers have advanced UFOlogy by making
stunning remarks. Former CIA and US military officials including R. James
Woolsey, John Brennan, Jim Semivan, Lue Elizondo, and others have described
how the existence of reality all around us that we are unable to perceive
could be a major aspect of the UFO phenomenon.

Since 2021, John Ramirez, who spent 25 years in the CIA, has been providing
truthful insights into the UAPs that he learned in his career. He is a highly
intelligent individual who has an immense amount of knowledge and experience
regarding the U.S. intelligence apparatus and the UAP subject. He has made an
impressive social media presence after he revealed many UAP-related mysteries
that had never been discussed in public by any government official.

CIA retired John Ramirez, who specialized in ballistic missile defense
systems, worked for the CIA from 1984 to 2009, holding positions in the Office
of the Director of National Intelligence, the Directorate of Science and
Technology, and the Directorate of Intelligence. He attained GS-15 grade,
which indicates that he worked for the agency in a relatively senior capacity.

His appearance on the highly acclaimed Witness Citizen podcast on October 17,
2021 created a huge burst in the UFO community. Later, Ramirez made an
appearance on Project Unity, where he delivered a series of slides to assist
researchers in navigating the FOIA process. Ramirez was particularly helpful
in identifying the appropriate agencies to contact when requesting particular
types of information.

The slides, which are available online, also include historical information
about UFOs and current statements made by prominent former U.S. intelligence
officials, including John Ratcliffe, a former director of national
intelligence. He stated a schematic on how to investigate a UFO in the CIA
style:

Establish a group to investigate and evaluate sightings;
Determine the objectives of your investigation;
Consult with experts;
Create a reporting system to organize incoming cases;
Eliminate false positives;
Develop a methodology to identify common aircraft and other aerial phenomena
often mistaken for UFOs;
Examine witness documentation;
Conduct controlled experiments;
Gather and test physical and forensics evidence and Discourage false
reporting.

Ramirez made assumptions regarding the current UFO disclosure procedure, and
it appears that his opinions may have been influenced by members of the
intelligence community, either current or former, or perhaps by individuals
connected to the Department of Defense. During his interview with Project
Unity, Ramirez claimed that the US government does not currently discuss the
UFO craft’s occupants. This is a significant comment from Ramirez, who has
asserted his opinion that UFOs may indeed represent a form of non-human
intelligence.

John Ramirez retired from the agency recently as an officer with GS-15 status.

Ramirez is not the first CIA agent to make the assertion that UFOs might be
non-human intelligence. John Brennan, a former CIA director, suggested that
UFOs might be “a different form of life.” Brennan said: “You try to ensure
that you have as much data as possible in terms of visuals and also different
types of maybe technical collection of sensors that you have at the time.

Also, I believe, it’s important to reach out into other environments and find
out, were there any type of weather phenomena at that time that might have, in
fact, created the appearance of the phenomenon that you’re looking at? Were
there some things that were happening on the ground, or other types of
phenomena that could help explain what seems to be quite a mystery as far as
what is there? You really have to approach it with an open mind, but get as
much data as possible and get as much expertise as possible brought to bear.”

Ramirez made an intriguing statement in response to the rumor that the US
government is reluctant to discuss the potential UFO occupants. The U.S. Air
Force may be partially to blame for this current stance, according to Ramirez.
However, not for obvious reasons. He commented:

“The air force and their exploitation of that type of technology made a mess
of things, as when people see the triangular craft, and they’re not flying in
space but in our atmosphere, it points to the fact that we know what the
triangles are and we want people to think they’re seeing UFOs because then
people won’t know exactly what they’re seeing.”

Some speculated that Ramirez suggests that the USAF may be responsible for
sightings of triangular aircraft, which some have dubbed the TR3B. On the Joe
Rogan Experience, Tom Delonge implied that the United States government owned
such vessels, but also said that some of them belonged to other intelligence.
Delonge claimed that triangle-shaped craft, assuming they contain tail fins,
symbolize human technology.

According to a member of the US House of Representatives Tim Burchett, it may
all have started after the government recovered crashed alien vehicles. During
an interview for On Balance With Leland Vittert, Burchett was asked about the
Navy’s possession of more videos of UFOs that it is not willing to release to
the public for reasons of National Security.

If anti-gravitic crafts exist, then potentially, such technology will be
disclosed throughout the disclosure process. Former senator Harry Reid has
already asserted that Lockheed Martin may have UFO materials, thus perhaps
technology does exist. According to Lue Elizondo, the disclosure procedure and
potential international collaboration (including with China) may lead to
amazing technological advancements. (Source)

Ross Coulthart, an investigative journalist, in his tweet shared a link to a
YouTube video (which is now private), stating John Ramirez tells IUFOC the
agency’s weird desk investigations into UAP never stopped from the 1940s.
“These are ongoing programs from the very beginning. They are still there.”
It’s “more than” just the Pentagon’s AAWSAP-AATIP. Check the below Twitter
thread to understand the context Coulthart is trying to explain.

“There for them to ask me questions. But it was very clear to me that AATIP
was not the first of its kind effort. There was an organized effort back in
the 80s to do exactly this as well. Now how far they got, I don’t know because
what was told to me, verbatim,” Elizondo said.

Ramirez also experienced what might be considered alien abduction-type
experiences, including being placed on an examination table in a circular
craft. Interestingly, a number of his counterparts in the CIA and NSA also had
UFO experiences, he revealed. In his job related to missile defense, he became
aware of times when Russian radar would detect unusual craft, and in one
instance, he said they tried to lure a UAP into landing.

Ramirez noted that CIA historian Gerald Haines wrote about the agency’s study
of UFOs from 1947 through the 1990s, for a division that was initially called
the Office of Scientific Intelligence. What was particularly intriguing to
Ramirez is that the division had life sciences and medical people on staff,
indicating possible interest in alien bodies.

He also described how an Air Force pilot on the plane that flew near Kamchatka
to monitor Russian tests observed a massive “milky white wall” of light flying
toward him at 6,200 mph, though the Air Force assumed it was some kind of
countermeasure by the Russians. Regarding the military sightings of “trans-
medium” UAP like the Tic Tacs, Ramirez said he does not believe that Russia or
any other foreign country has the capabilities to produce this kind of
antigravity technology.

Elizondo made these points in several interviews, but in this one, he was
asked to elaborate on his comments about how our senses are reductive and
limit our reality, and how this might be relevant to the phenomenon.

In his interview with Project Unity, Ramirez opined that Humans are hybrids.
According to him, Elizondo is unable to use the word “hybridization,” but the
Pentagon employees are counting on him to do so eventually. Elizondo discussed
the possibility that non-human intelligence have been in contact with humans
for a very long time on the Theories of Everything podcast. This would imply
that we have all forgotten about our own past, which would hide the
possibility that we are hybrids of humans and extraterrestrials.

Something is coming in 2027

On Podcast UFO with Martin Wills, Ramirez claimed that government is aware of
an impending event in 2027 which will reveal something quite significant
so people are being prepared. He has been stating that there is a presence on
Earth (which he refers demonic) who are just projecting their own belief
systems to make us disbelieve in what we believe. Wills asked Ramirez what
would happen if there was mass Landing? would we just simply prepare for a
conflict or would we actually initiate something? (Source)

Former CIA replied:

“ I think the dialogue we have now in this country, even with the recent
legislation that passed through the legislature and is on its way up to the
president’s desk, is preparing the U.S population, and by extension the world
population, for the reality that there is a presence here that we need to
explain. If they show up and we continue to do what we did before in previous
decades, there will be mass panic. However, if we understand that these are
real and we have five years from 2022, or maybe now four years, if they come
in 2027, for the US government to prepare the people about what is up there.

_In many ways, I think the word got out within the government thatthey’re
showing up in 2027 , and we better be prepared. If not, there’s going to be
a lot of explaining to do. So, I think that dialogue has happened within
certain areas inside the government, that we need to prepare. _

That’s why in 2017, that set a clock of 10 years, and why Lou Elizondo
earlier in this year said, “Just find a hobby for five years, and it’ll all be
out in five years,” and he said that this year, so that was 2027. I’ve heard
2027 in an official capacity, and I can’t reveal, so I would say that people
in the government are aware of something happening, and there’s limited time,
a few more years to prepare the people. That’s what’s wrapping up this
acceleration from the previous seven decades of not even acknowledging it to
now acknowledging it at a faster and faster pace.”
