Today in Labor History May 20, 1949: The U.S. established the National Security Agency. Up until recently it was (and probably still is) the nation’s largest spy agency, in spite of massive cuts and mass firings by the Trump administration. The NSA currently engages in worldwide mass data collection as well as physically bugging targets. They were likely behind the 2010Stuxnet software attack that severely damaged Iran’s nuclear program. The NSA spied on anti-Vietnam War activists and continues to spy on U.S. citizens. Many of their secret surveillance programs were leaked by Edward Snowden, who was forced to flee the country. He is now living in exile in Russia. Private companies, like AT&T and Verizon have collaborated with the NSA to help them spy on U.S. citizens. They supposedly have access to all communications made via Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, YouTube, AOL, Skype, Apple.

Some of the more notable records kept above top secret for 40+ years by NSA in the recent #FOI

1. Massive, Blindingly Bright Spheres/Discs An intelligence entry (classified as SECRET LARUM) on page 329 details an anomalous object described as "spherical or disc-like in form." Its brightness was noted as having an "established color brighter than the sun," and its sheer size was estimated to be "one-half the visible size of the moon." The report includes specific bearing and azimuth tracking data for the object as it hovered above the cloud cover.

2. Objects Splitting Mid-Flight at High Speeds A separate entry (page 333) tracks a highly unusual aerial anomaly described as an "elongated ball of fire." The object was recorded moving at a remarkably high rate of speed before it suddenly "split into three balls of fire" while continuing its trajectory, demonstrating capabilities that defy conventional aerospace mechanics.

3. Silent Ascent with "Spiraling Radiation" One of the more bizarre descriptions (page 322) involves an object that gained altitude in complete silence. Most notably, the intelligence report recorded that the object emitted a "luminous radiation of 22 meters extending in a spiral pattern," pointing to highly unusual energy signatures or propulsion mechanics not seen in known aircraft.

4. Intense Military Scrambles & High-Altitude "Swarms" The documents reveal that foreign militaries treated these incursions as serious, immediate threats. At least eight separate entries document fighter aircraft being actively scrambled to intercept UAPs. The most dramatic incident (page 236) details 13 MIG fighters being dispatched to chase down a single unidentified object. Additionally, radar and visual data tracked massive swarms of objects—such as groups of 23 and up to 72 objects at once—operating at extreme altitudes exceeding 70,000 feet.

5. Multi-Witness Corroboration of Silent, Direction-Changing Lights An entry designated SECRET SAVIN (page 315) emphasizes the credibility of the sightings by noting that multiple, independent observers corroborated the exact same event. These witnesses reported seeing silent lights capable of sudden, sharp direction changes at a relatively close distance of about 2,000 feet.

Note: While these documents represent raw signals intelligence (SIGINT) collected by the NSA over prior decades rather than definitive proof of extraterrestrial origins, they confirm that global militaries and intelligence apparatuses have tracked and engaged genuinely inexplicable objects exhibiting advanced physics.

#NSA just released a heavily redacted #UAP #UFO Document.
Over 300 pages, it includes "TOP SECRET UMBRA" classifications for the reports. Classified as above top secret, for very sensitive comms/national security intercepts.

NSA was resisting the #FOI action since 1980s
and (I think) the only reason they released the (heavily redacted) documents is the #ufofiles tranche 1 #disclosure

Actual 300 page, redacted file is here;

Notable flight characteristics note one or more of UFO observables. Very unbaloon like.

> Le Cloud Act, par exemple, ne demande pas de casser le chiffrement ; il contraint le fournisseur de services américain, comme Microsoft, à livrer les données, y compris les clés de déchiffrement si elles sont en sa possession.

Ça fait 20 ans.

Avant MS et tous les vendeurs de solutions de chiffrement le faisaient spontanément, maintenant "c'est pas de leur faute le Cloud Act les y oblige". Pratique.

#eurocrypt just happened, which reminds me of the eurocrypt 35 years ago held in budapest, which an #NSA cryptologist was attending and giving a scorching #report in the internal cryptolog newsletter of the nsa: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=2059

would be interesting to see the latest cryptolog report on this latest edition...
