New Army Witness - Former Intelligence officer Caison Best shares his UFO experience - "Massive, perfectly still, elliptical object". The panels on the object seemed to be moving and rippling. “I can relate to… being a caveman and seeing an iPhone for the first time. It was just a shocking object.”

Caison was ignored by his chain of command, they tried burying this story, until he was connected with Ryan Graves' organization "Americans for Safe Aerospace".

In 2022, near Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Base, Caison and four colleagues witnessed a UAP. What happened next reveals how institutions fail those who serve.

The next day, Caison filed a formal intelligence report with corroborating witness accounts.

Instead of urgency, he was met with indifference. Reporting channels were buried. Official replies were dismissive. This was over one of America’s most sensitive security sites.

That could have been the end. But in 2023, Caison connected with ASA (Americans for Safe Aerospace. By 2024, he was leading our reporting program. Since then, he has helped process nearly 800 reports and interviewed 50+ credible witnesses, many of them aviators and intelligence officers.

The lesson is clear.
Institutions are failing credible witnesses. Civil society must step in.

This is really the crux of things.

These testimonies aren't dismissed for being false. They are being dismissed because they can't be proven to be true.

These stories are important - but they aren't enough. We need a smoking gun.

I always think of the “undigestible truth” comment when it comes to this. Even if we had a heavily smoking gun, no one really knows what to do with it. It’s still so disconnected from the microcosm of our own lives that we eventually just return to the zeitgeist out of pressing, immediate familiarity. Even the vast majority of witnesses and abductees, those you would assume are most affected, eventually return to their lives and spend most of their time doing typical things. The gap between our baseline and this existential mystery is overwhelmingly intangible for 99% of humanity. Whatever is behind all this has an incredibly unfair advantage that simply cannot be countered by a smoking gun.

It's not necessarily that the truth is impossible to handle, but rather most people have nothing to "do" with it.

If your wife gets hit by a bus and dies - it hits you hard, but likely you eventually go back to life as usual because what else is there to do but move on? Similarly, if you hear that someone's wife got hit by a bus, you might say "damn" then go back to life. There's nothing to do about it.

Now, sticking with the same tragic example - the fact that we can prove it happened means something. While the husband might be crushed and the public sympathetic - there is still a large body of scientists and engineers who acknowledge that bus accidents are real and work in their industries to improve bus safety, road safety, awareness, traffic patterns, etc. Something is being done about it - just not by the general public and not even by the person most affected.

With UFOs it's EXACTLY the same. If we get a smoking gun - a UFO lands in Time Square and an alien gets out and tosses the keys to the crowd like the smelly car valet episode of Seinfeld - and walks off. Well the general public can be as shocked or indifferent as they like - they are going back to work on Monday. But what we gained is the proof that this stuff exists. It will cause a cascade of research and development behind the scenes. It will mean witnesses will get believed. Experiencers will get professional help without stigma. Just about every profession that CAN touch the subject WILL touch the subject. The paradigm shift will be enormous.

But it starts with the smoking gun.

Oh like climate change.
