Coming Soon! U.S. Intelligence Report on ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena’

UFOs have long have been the subject of comic books, conspiracy theories and scary movies.

Soon they’ll be in a coming report from America’s intelligence agencies to members of Congress, specifically the intelligence and armed services committees.

It’s because of a requirement tucked into the recently signed government funding bill that calls for a report from the Director of National Intelligence, “in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the heads of such other agencies” to Congress within 180 days of the enactment of the law to address “unidentified aerial phenomena.”

In the report will be, as required by the law, information on “observed airborne objects that have not been identified” as well as a “detailed analysis of unidentified phenomena data collected by: a. geospatial intelligence; b. signals intelligence; c. human intelligence; and d. measurement and signals intelligence.”

The New York Post noted the mandate got very little attention because instead of being in the text of the bill, it was included in a “committee comment” from the Senate Intelligence Committee. (Read more from “Coming Soon! U.S. Intelligence Report on ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena'” HERE)

Judges Throw Out Conviction of ‘Misgendering’ Online

Citing society’s need for freedom of speech, two judges in the United Kingdom have reversed a conviction for a mother of two who was charged with calling a man who lives as a woman a “man.”

A report from the Christian Institute says Kate Scottow has had her conviction, under the 2003 Communications Act, overturned.

She had been ordered to undergo a two-year conditional discharge and to pay 1,000 pounds in compensation, but the Court of Appeal decision reversed that.

Lord Justice Bean and Mr. Justice Warby ruled that free speech includes “the right to offend” and pointed out that, “Freedom only to speak inoffensively is not worth having.”

Scottow had been arrested at her home in front of her children after Stephanie Hayden, a man who now lives as a woman, called police to complain that Scottow was using “offensive” language that focused on online references to him as a man.
