Human bones unearthed from a German cave have altered the timeline of ancient human history

Researchers on the hunt to settle a long-standing debate ended up rewriting the timeline of ancient human history in the process.
For years, archaeologists have argued over an ancient culture with the unwieldy title: the Lincombian-Ranisian-Jerzmanowician technocomplex. Even scientists know that’s a mouthful, so they call it the LRJ for short.
The LRJ is characterized by the creation of specific blades and leaf points, which share aspects of both Neanderthal and Homo sapien craftsmanship.

The debate is over who made them, and the answer could help offer clues as to what happened about 45,000 years ago — when Neanderthals, one of our closest human relatives, mysteriously went extinct across Europe while Homo sapiens, ultimately, thrived.
“The usual wisdom was to consider that they were made most likely by late Neanderthals,” said study co-author Jean-Jacques Hublin, a professor of paleoanthropology at the College of France.
But Hublin and his colleagues wanted to settle the debate once and for all.
This led them to Ilsenhöhle cave in Ranis, Germany, one of several sites across Northwestern Europe where LRJ artifacts have been found.

Besides solving the mystery they sought, the researchers wound up discovering so much more.
Mining ancient DNA
When they excavated the cave, the researchers uncovered more than just LRJ artifacts — they came upon tiny bone fragments, too.
Most of the bones were too small to identify what animal they came from based on looks, alone.
But thanks to a revelatory new analysis called zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry, or ZooMS, the researchers were able to determine that 13 of the roughly 2,000 bone fragments they analyzed belonged to early humans.

The next step was determining which species of ancient human they were from. If the team could figure that out, then it would likely point them to who made the LRJ artifacts in the cave, thus solving the mystery, Hublin said.
To that end, they extracted DNA, which confirmed the bones belong to Homo sapiens, providing strong evidence that they were responsible for the LRJ artifacts. “Voila!” Hublin said triumphantly.
But they weren’t done, yet.

The team also used radiocarbon dating to date the bones, and were surprised by what they discovered.
According to their data, Homo sapiens were present in Ranis 47,500 years ago — thousands of years earlier than previously thought.
Unlikely neighbors
Until this discovery, archaeologists believed Homo sapiens did not arrive in Western Europe until 42,000 years ago, contributing to the extinction of Neanderthals.

A growing library of evidence has been pushing this timeline back more and more. Hublin and the team's discoveries are the latest series of studies adding to the mounting pile.
The research was published in three papers in the peer-reviewed journals Nature and Nature Ecology and Evolution and paints a very different picture of history.
It suggests there were small “pioneer” groups of Homo sapiens living in Europe with Neanderthals for thousands of years before the species went extinct.
Whether these two groups ever interacted during that time remains unclear.
“It’s not at all the picture we had years ago of this wave of Homo sapiens moving into Europe and replacing the Neanderthals,” said Hublin. “What we see now is that it was not a wave, it was several wavelets,”
Moreover, the research suggests these early Homo sapien “pioneers” were more hardcore than we’ve given them credit for.
Hardcore humans
Previous research asserted that Homo sapiens were only able to enter Europe during warmer time periods because they were adapted to the warm climate of Africa, where they originated from.
But the specimens and artifacts found at Ranis suggest they actually entered directly through the chilly Northwest, and that this region was much colder than previously thought.
Analysis of animal teeth collected at the site revealed the climate was 7 to 15 degrees Celsius colder than it is today, similar to that of northern Scandinavia or parts of Siberia, said Hublin.
Additionally, analysis of animal remains revealed that mammals adapted to extreme cold were present at Ranis, including wooly mammoths, reindeer, and wolverines.
Image Credit: Analysis of over 1,000 animal bones from Ranis showed that early Homo sapiens processed the carcasses of deer but also of carnivores, including wolves. Geoff M. Smith.
Questions remain about how warm-weather-adapted Homo sapiens survived such a dramatic transition. But they likely made warm clothing out of furs from these animals, explains study co-author Geoff Smith, a zooarchaeologist at the University of Kent.
Rewriting prehistory
Together, these findings paint a picture of human prehistory that is very different from the one we had before. But there are still questions to be answered.
The researchers have no plans to excavate Ranis further, and the cave has been closed off for safety reasons. But they will continue to study the specimens and artifacts from this last dig to dive deeper into interactions between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals during this time.
“I think we have more to discover,” Hublin said. “What’s ahead of us is understanding what was going on among the late Neanderthals. To what extent have they been penetrated by these newcomers? What kind of interactions do they have with them? But I think it’s a great step to have resolved the LRJ story.”

CIA Had Foreign Allies Spy On Trump Team, Triggering Russia Collusion Hoax, Sources Say
Authored by Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag via Public substack,
Last year, John Durham, a special prosecutor for the Department of Justice (DOJ), concluded that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) should never have opened its investigation of alleged collusion by then-presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and Russia in late July of 2016.
Now, multiple credible sources tell Public and Racket that the United States Intelligence Community (IC), including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), illegally mobilized foreign intelligence agencies to target Trump advisors long before the summer of 2016.
The new information fills many gaps in our understanding of the Russia collusion hoax and is supported by testimony already in the public record.
Until now, the official story has been that the FBI’s investigation began after Australian intelligence officials told US officials that a Trump aide had boasted to an Australian diplomat that Russia had damning material about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
In truth, the US IC asked the “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance to surveil Trump’s associates and share the intelligence they acquired with US agencies, say sources close to a House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HSPCI) investigation. The Five Eyes nations are the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
After Public and Racket had been told that President Barack Obama’s CIA Director, John Brennan, had identified 26 Trump associates for the Five Eyes to target, a source confirmed that the IC had “identified [them] as people to ‘bump,’ or make contact with or manipulate. They were targets of our own IC and law enforcement — targets for collection and misinformation.”
Unknown details about the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign and raw intelligence related to the IC’s surveillance of the Trump campaign are in a 10-inch binder that Trump ordered to be declassified at the very end of his term, sources told Public and Racket.
If the top-secret documents exist proving these charges, they are potentially proof that multiple US intelligence officials broke laws against spying and election interference.
...
“They were making contacts and bumping Trump people going back to March 2016,” a source close to the investigation said. “They were sending people around the UK, Australia, Italy — the Mossad in Italy. The MI6 was working at an intelligence school they had set up.”
The IC, a source said, considered the 26 Trump campaign people identified to “bump” or “reverse target,” or manipulate through confidential human sources (CHSs), to be easy marks because of their relative inexperience.
Doing so was illegal, both because US law prohibits such intelligence gathering unless authorized by a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant and because the weaponization of the IC for political purposes constitutes election interference.

EXCLUSIVE: FOIA Documents Reveal Secret 2020 Election Day Meeting With CISA, Dominion, ES&S, ERIC, FBI, Leftist Organizations, State Officials, and Others – Only Recently Discovered
Recently, investigative journalist Yehuda Miller received several FOIA documents that completely reshaped what we were told to believe about the 2020 US presidential election.
We will be publishing several of these explosive documents in the coming days.
The election was billed by the Democrat Party, Joe Biden, the mainstream media, and former CISA Chief Chris Krebs as the most secure election in US history.
But was 2020 really the most secure election in US history?
In the coming days, Yehuda Miller and The Gateway Pundit will release a series of FOIA documents that prove that the statements by Chris Krebs under oath were most certainly false and that he clearly knew these statements were not accurate.
Today, we are releasing information on a secret 2020 Election Day phone call organized by The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
CISA describes itself as the operational lead for federal cybersecurity and the national coordinator for critical infrastructure security and resilience. However, since its founding, CISA has morphed into a much more sinister and politicized organization.
Founded in 2018, CISA was originally intended to be an ancillary agency designed to protect “critical infrastructure” and guard against cybersecurity threats. In the years since its creation, however, CISA metastasized into the nerve center of the federal government’s domestic surveillance and censorship operations on social media.
By 2020, CISA routinely reported social media posts that allegedly spread “disinformation” to social media platforms. By 2021, CISA had a formal “Mis-, Dis-, and Mal-information” (MDM) team. In 2022 and 2023, in response to growing public and private criticism of CISA’s unconstitutional behavior, CISA attempted to camouflage its activities, duplicitously claiming it serves a purely “informational” role.”
The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft is currently the lead plaintiff in the Missouri-Louisiana vs. Joe Biden lawsuit that is heading to the Supreme Court in March.
The plaintiffs are challenging the Biden regime’s censorship apparatus, arguing that the federal government cannot infringe on the free speech of Americans. CISA today is central to the government’s censorship system.
Today, we have evidence that a private meeting was organized by CISA officials on November 3, 2020, at 3:30 PM Eastern Time with select members of a secret “Election Security Initiative.”
This was an exclusive meeting of CISA officials and their exclusive election Partners. This was held late in the afternoon on Election Day. It reportedly lasted for a half hour.
The list includes over 200 names of individuals, government entities, private businesses, media outlets, and at least one tech giant. The list includes a curious mix of members from Dominion, ES&S, ERIC Systems, Amazon, Runbeck, Microsoft, Scytl, several Secretary of State offices, the Associated Press, Amazon, and leftist groups.
43 Groups make up the CISA EI-SCC – Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency – no conservative groups are represented. Several members are leftist organizations.
Several high-profile individuals were invited to the call, including Jennifer Morrell with The Elections Group, Ryan Macias with The Lafayette Group, Eric Coomer with Dominion, and Joselyn Benson, the controversial Michigan Secretary of State.

Close to 250 individuals were invited to the 3:30 call organized by the CISA election security infrastructure team.
The Gateway Pundit went through the list of attendees who were invited to the 3:30 PM Election Day meeting organized by CISA.
It should be noted that although we found liberal groups included on the list, we did not notice ANY conservative organizations included in the call.
Here are a few of the groups included on the call:
ERIC Systems: The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on the ERIC voter roll system that is used in 23 states. The system was originally promoted as a tool to clean up voter rolls. It is anything but that. For example, Wisconsin is an ERIC State and has over 7 million registered voters in a state with less than 4 million eligible voters. ERIC hired the Wisconsin state election leader Sarah Whitt after performing such exemplary work in Wisconsin. Today, we know that the ERIC founder was sharing information from ERIC with Mark Zuckerberg-funded organizations during the 2020 election.
Runbeck: This Arizona company will deliver ballots to 24 states for three elections: presidential preference elections, primaries, and the general election. For some odd reason, the ballot printing company plays a role in examining and counting the ballots in Maricopa County, Arizona. There have been several allegations against the company since the 2020 and 2022 elections.
Associated Press: For some reason, Associated Press employees were invited to join the call on Election Day.
Amazon: At least nine Amazon employees were invited to listen in on the call.
Democracy Works: This is a leftist “get-out-the-vote” group that “drives voter participation.” Interestingly, this group would be invited on the CISA call. The group is funded by the John Pritzker Family Fund, Trump-hating Pierre Omidyar’s Democracy Fund, Craig Newmark Charitable Fund (Craig’s List founder), and Quadrivian Foundation that is linked to Murdoch’s leftie son, James Murdoch and his wife, Kathryn.
Dominion: The voting machine company has been in the news since the 2020 elections. Recently, a Michigan professor, J. Alex Halderman, demonstrated in Georgia court how Dominion machines could be easily hacked and their tabulations altered. Former Dominion engineer Eric Coomer was invited to the call.
KNOWink – electronic pollbook company
Microsoft – at least five Microsoft employees were invited to the call
Smartmatic and ES&S – Voting machine suppliers
Voting.Works – Another leftist non-profit provider of voting machines and open-source election verification software. Voting.Works was created within and incubated by the left-leaning Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT). CDT’s major donors include large left-of-center foundations, including George Soros’s Foundation to Promote Open Society, the Ford Foundation, and the MacArthur Foundation.
These are just a few of the organizations invited to join the call at 3:30 PM on Election Day 2020.
Here is the full list of officials.
As we researched this Election Day phone call, we found that this does not appear to be an isolated event.
J. Christian Adams at PJ Media reported on a secretive event in 2022 that was organized by the leftist Democracy Fund and included state officials, election company representatives and third parties to discuss election administration.
The report revealed collusion between the US government (the FBI, DOJ, EAC, and CISA), with progressive groups and individuals fueled by progressive money related to US elections (like the Elections Group, CTCL, and Brennan Center), along with individuals from US corporations like Microsoft.
No conservative or right-of-center groups were invited to participate.
From the above, you can see members of government agencies including the FBI, DOJ, EAC and CISA. These individuals and entities are at a function with progressives from the Democracy Fund, the CTCL and corporations like Microsoft.
The Gateway Pundit discovered that several of the groups and participants in the 2022 meeting also were invited to the 2020 Election Day phone call.
We also know that CISA has been censoring conservative content online since 2021 after Joe Biden entered the White House.
So, as CISA was organizing and holding secret chats with leftist organizations, election company representatives, media, and third parties, they were also censoring conservative voices in America.
That sounds un-American. It smells like it could be illegal. And it feels like election interference.
We will continue our reporting on this event and others in the coming days.
Special Thanks to Yehuda Miller!

BIDENOMICS: ALL Jobs Recovered Post-Covid Under Joe Biden Went to Foreign-Born Workers – Including Illegals
Bidenomics: Screw Americans at all costs.
Per the Center for Immigration Studies: All employment growth has gone to the foreign-born. 183,000 fewer U.S.-born Americans are working than in 2019, before Covid. Yet, the number of immigrants (legal and illegal) working is up 2.9 million over 2019.
“Comparing the fourth quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2023 shows 2.7 million more people working in the United States — 2.9 million more immigrants (legal and illegal) and 183,000 fewer U.S.-born Americans. Since the depths of the Covid Recession in 2020 employment has increased for both groups. But the number of U.S.-born workers has not made it back to the 2019 pre-Covid level. Equally important, the share of working-age, U.S.-born men without a bachelor’s not in the labor force deteriorated in the decades prior to 2019, and the rate in the fourth quarter of 2023 was lower still. These individuals do not show up as unemployed because they have not looked for a job in the four weeks prior to the survey. The long-term decline in the labor force participation rate of less-educated men is linked to serious social problems, from suicide and crime to drug overdoses and social isolation.” CIS reported.
“This analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies is based on the Current Population Survey (CPS), collected by the Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. We focus on the peak years of prior economic expansions (2000, 2006, and 2019) as well as 2023 because it is the most recent quarterly data available. Immigrants (legal and illegal together) in the CPS are often referred to as the “foreign-born” and include all persons who were not U.S. citizens at birth — primarily naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents, long-term temporary visitors (e.g. guestworkers), and illegal immigrants.” CIS reported.
Center For Immigration Studies
Last year it was reported month after month that foreign-born workers were taking all the jobs while native born-Americans lost their jobs.
1.2 million native-born Americans lost their jobs in August.
771,000 foreign-born workers replaced them.
Millions of military-age males have invaded the US since Joe Biden was installed in January 2021.
Not only are the illegal aliens costing the US billions of dollars per year, they are taking jobs and given access to healthcare.

BREAKING: “Hotter Than Expected” – Inflation Up 3.1% Over Last Year – Overall Prices Up 17.9% Since Biden Took Office – Stocks Rocked
Joe Biden’s America.
Inflation is up 3.1% over the last year. Shelter prices accounted for most of the increase, according to the BLS.
“Shelter prices, which comprise about one-third of the CPI weighting, accounted for much of the rise. The index for that category climbed 0.6% on the month, contributing more than two-thirds of the headline increase, the BLS said. On a 12-month basis, shelter rose 6%.” CNBC reported.
Food prices rose as well.
“Food prices moved higher as well, up 0.4% on the month. Energy helped offset some of the increase, down 0.9% due largely to a 3.3% slide in gasoline prices.” CNBC reported.
Overall prices are up a whopping 17.9% since Joe Biden took office in January 2021.
Stocks tumbled on the inflation news.
The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq lost more than 1% after January’s inflation data was released on Tuesday.
“The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 441 points, or 1.1%. It had earlier in the day slipped more than 500 points, or 1.4%, in its biggest drop since March 2023, when it fell 1.63%. The S&P 500 slid 1.1%, as did the Nasdaq Composite” – CNBC reported.
CNBC reported:
Inflation rose more than expected in January as stubbornly high shelter prices weighed on consumers, the Labor Department reported Tuesday.
The consumer price index, a broad-based measure of the prices shoppers face for goods and services across the economy, increased 0.3% for the month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. On a 12-month basis, that came out to 3.1%, down from 3.4% in December.
Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for a monthly increase of 0.2% and an annual gain of 2.9%.
Excluding volatile food and energy prices, the so-called core CPI accelerated 0.4% in January and was up 3.9% from a year ago, unchanged from December. The forecast had been for 0.3% and 3.7%, respectively.
CNBC’s Steve Liesman said, “It was just a lousy month when it came to inflation.
“Real earnings also declined in the month,” he added.

REPORT: Joe Biden Rejected Proposal from Vladimir Putin to Halt the War in Ukraine
Joe Biden may have missed an opportunity to potentially end the horrific conflict between Ukraine and Russia by outright dismissing one of the combatant’s peace proposals. If true, this would mark yet another catastrophic foreign policy failure.
Reuters reported Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin signaled to Washington in 2023 in public and privately through intermediaries that he was ready to open to a ceasefire in Ukraine. Putin’s proposal was to freeze the war along current lines, which includes territory gained by Russia.
Sources told Reuters that this approach from Putin offered what some Kremlin figures saw as the best hope for some form of peace. But Biden and his Regime rejected the proposal without countering, as one Russian source lamented.
Another Russian source explained that the Regime insisted on involving Ukraine in any discussion regarding a possible ceasefire. This immovable position caused the talks to collapse completely.
“Everything fell apart with the Americans,” he said.
From Reuters:
Intermediaries met in Turkey in late 2023, according to three Russian sources. A fourth diplomatic source said there had been Russian-U.S. unofficial contacts through intermediaries at Russia’s initiative but that they appeared to have come to nothing.
According to three Russian sources, Putin’s signal was relayed to Washington, where top U.S. officials, including White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Central Intelligence Agency Director Bill Burns, and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, met.
The idea was that Sullivan would speak to Putin’s foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, and set out the next steps, one of the Russian sources said.
But when the call came in January, Sullivan told Ushakov that Washington was willing to talk about other aspects of the relationship but would not speak about a ceasefire without Ukraine, said one of the Russian sources.
Russian sources expressed frustration with the Regime’s stubborn stance not to encourage Ukraine to engage in talks, given that the United States is extensively funding the war. Putin reportedly did not appear surprised by the rejection and is vowing to continue fighting.
The US reportedly rejected peace between Russia and Ukraine in 2022.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Putin told former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in an interview last week that Russia is ready for dialogue regarding the war. Combining Putin’s statements with this Reuters report challenges the conventional wisdom regarding who desires peace more.

Tony Bobulinski Tells Congress Bidens “Sold Out” America – Says Joe Biden “Enabled” His Son of Sell Access to “Most Dangerous Adversaries” of US
On Tuesday former Hunter Biden business partner, Tony Bobulinski, will testify before the House oversight Committee behind closed doors in the House impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden.
Bobulinski has been an outspoken critic of the Biden family for years now. Of course, thee media has mostly ignored his accusations against Hunter and Joe Biden.
In September 2022 Bobulinski accused the FBI of burying all of the information he gave them on the Biden Crime Family.
Here is a copy of Tony Bobulinski’s opening statement.
Tony Bobulinski told Congress, “The only reason any of these international business transactions took place – with tens of millions of dollars flowing directly to the Biden family – was because Joe Biden was in high office. The Biden family business was Joe Bide, perid.”
This looks to be another bad week for Old Joe.
Yahoo reported:
Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, is expected to testify behind closed doors on Capitol Hill Tuesday as the latest witness in the House impeachment inquiry against President Biden.\
A source familiar with the planning first told Fox News Digital that Bobulinski will appear on Tuesday, Feb. 13, at 10 a.m. for a transcribed interview before both the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees.
The testimony could last eight hours, according to the source.
Bobulinski, who worked with Hunter Biden to create the joint-venture SinoHawk Holdings with Chinese energy company CEFC, said he met with Joe Biden in 2017.

EXCLUSIVE: Military Units Are Not Ready for a Combat Deployment, According to Recent Survey of Those Currently Serving
Image Credit: Pixabay
Last fall, the author distributed a survey to 229 service members currently serving in the U.S. military. Each individual was given an opportunity to anonymously express his or her views on various issues concerning the military, including Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training, coercion by leadership to get the COVID-19 jab, and more.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to one of the survey’s participants, who used a pseudonym out of concern about reprisals. Officer Alvin Johnson (a pseudonym), a 20-year combat veteran of the Army with multiple deployments around the globe, anonymously answered questions concerning the nation’s readiness to go to war.
When asked whether the United States could win a war against a near-peer threat like China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia, Officer Johnson offered a definitive “no” as his answer. According to the survey, 188 of the survey’s 229 participants agreed, approximately 82 percent expressing that the U.S. could not win a war against such a foreign adversary.
For Officer Johnson, the quandary stems from Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s now-rescinded 2021 military vaccine mandate. Over 8,400 service members were booted out of service while tens of thousands opted to resign or retire.
In October 2023, Navy Commander Rob Green warned of a “massive readiness crash” to unfold because of the military’s enforcement of the COVID-19 shot and subsequent personnel losses. Today, the author of “Defending the Constitution Behind Enemy Lines” and others continue to embrace a call for “sweeping reforms and accountability within the Armed Forces.” Seeking accountability, 231 signatories of the Declaration of Military Accountability (DMA) are asking others to also pledge their support.
The lack of accountability has contributed to Cmdr. Green’s concern about a “looming” readiness crash. Officer Johnson concurred, pointing out that “many of the people who were kicked out [of the military] or left on their own [as a result of the COVID-19 jab], they were the warfighters.”
According to him, “Many were the ones with actual, physical experience in combat.” Their skills were learned in combat, not “theorized” in a classroom, he explained. “Now we have this massive experience deficit that cannot be filled by book learning, lectures, and PowerPoint presentations.”
“Countries like Russia and China are training to fight,” he said. “And they’re not mired by various sociocultural issues like transgenderism and other social experiments.” Sadly, he said, “I can’t tell you the last time I had rifle training, but I can tell you the last time I had inclusivity training.”
Mission Failure Imminent
Officer Johnson serves with a combat unit that is considered deployable and was asked to share what percentage of his unit he personally considered ready for deployment. Expressing that he did not want to be dubbed a “sensationalist,” an emphatic “zero percent” was his answer for the reasons named above. Collectively, the survey’s other participants considered about 68 percent of their units to be deployable.
“Warfighters have been bled from the military at a rate that’s not been seen for decades,” he lamented. All the while, the nation’s primary land service branch has failed to meet its recruiting goals by 26,000 recruits in the previous two years. Nearly 80 percent of the survey’s participants said the quality of new recruits in the last two years has failed to meet the needs of their unit.
With that, Officer Johnson said he does not believe the Army currently has enough service members who are “trained and experienced enough” to face a combat deployment. Over 72 percent of the survey’s participants agreed, determining their units are also not trained enough to face a combat deployment.
“We don’t have warfighters training [recruits and others] any longer,” Officer Johnson pointed out. “Many of the people running Advanced Individual Training (AIT) are not wearing combat patches. They have not been to combat.” Thus, he questions how someone who has not seen combat can successfully train someone for combat.
Apart from training as it relates to combat readiness, according to the survey, approximately 74 percent of the 229 participants also said their units are not equipped enough to face a combat deployment.
As a result of the loss of experienced service members and low recruitment numbers, Officer Johnson said the maintenance of equipment has fallen behind what would be considered operational—and this has occurred, in peacetime, outside of a combat theater. As an example, he is aware of aircraft that are “restricted from certain flight profiles and certain types of operations because of a mechanical or maintenance deficiency.”
According to him, “Some of the aircraft have been carrying these deficiencies for months and months on end.” Considering this, he said his unit would be unable to reach the operational status required for warfare should they be called to combat.
The failure to be “fully mission capable” is the result of either “a lack of oversight” or “a lack of training,” he suggested. “While we don’t have the necessary functioning equipment, we also don’t have enough people that are trained to safely and effectively operate that equipment.” He attributed these same factors to the rise in accidents and other incidents in aviation being seen in the military.
Officer Johnson emphasized that his views don’t reflect those of the Department of Defense or the Department of the Army.

WHISTLEBLOWERS: UFO Reportedly Caught on Video Shooting Down Nuclear Warhead During Test Launch – Government Would Have Made the Footage Disappear
The UFO mania just won’t go away, with more and more reports surfacing ever day dealing with evidence – true or imagined – of these unidentified craft roaming the skies in speed and maneuvers that are not possible with our present ‘known’ technology.
Now we learn of multiple allegations that that ‘the US military is in possession of a video of a UFO apparently disabling a nuclear warhead during a routine test, according to multiple former officials’.
They video in question, it is alleged, shows a ‘saucer’ shooting four beams of light at the unarmed, dummy warhead, disabling it right after it detached from the Atlas missile booster.
But who are the sources to this ‘fantastic-to-the-max’ story? It all begins sixty years ago: retired US Air Force officers Lieutenant Bob Jacobs and Major Florenze Mansmann claim to have viewed the recording of the 1964 encounter ‘before the tape went missing’.
Daily Mail reported:
“The former officials were part of a team responsible for capturing video of missile test launches in California with telescopic photography and videography equipment.
Two days later, after they screened the video, they claim that two plain-clothed CIA agents confiscated the footage and swore them to secrecy.”
The decades-old incident came back into public awareness due to author Robert Hastings re-investigating it.
Lieutenant Jacobs was in charge of a military telescopic photography site in Big Sur, California.
The alleged video he shot shows the missile as it traveled thousands of miles per hour over the Pacific Ocean.
Major Mansmann was the chief photographic imagery analyst at Vandenberg Air Force Base in nearby Santa Barbara County, California.
“The craft inadvertently caught on film was domed and disc-shaped, according to Jacobs and Mansmann. It was a ‘classic disc, the center seemed to be a raised bubble…the entire lower saucer shape was glowing and seemed to be rotating slowly,’ according to a letter Mansmann wrote about the incident in 1983.
‘At the point of beam release…the object turned like an object required to be in a position to fire from a platform… but again this could be my own assumption from being in aerial combat’.”
Mansmann told Jacobs not to discuss what they had seen. But come 1982, Jacobs began discussing the event.
His claims were dismissed by skeptics, he suffered harassment and anonymous death threats.
Beyond the alleged video, there is some – limited – evidence supporting the story.
“A declassified but unreleased set of radar data of the September 15, 1964 event apparently confirmed that an unidentified aerial object was observed near the dummy warhead during the missile test, a source told Hastings.”
Hasting has posted a few days ago, on The UFO Chronicles website, that whistleblower Luis Elizondo acknowledged the existence of the video and claimed he has seen it.
Elizondo who alleges he was the former director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) program to study UFOs.
A US Senate investigator would have told Hastings that Elizondo confirmed this description in an official interview last year.
“‘During that briefing, the former AATIP director confirmed the existence of the video, the details regarding what it showed, and the location of a copy of it in AATIP’s workspaces’, Hastings wrote in the new post.”
