Did Trump Authorize The Shootdown Of UFOs?

Summary

Liberation Times journalist Chris Sharp joins George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell to investigate claims that President Trump authorized the shootdown of UAP over a US test range, likely White Sands, possibly as part of a 'luring' operation. Both the Department of War and the White House declined to deny the allegation, which Sharp ties to tests of the LOCUST laser system and the disappearance of its developer's former technology director. The conversation then turns to David Grusch's latest Joe Rogan interview, which described footage of non-human bodies, reptilian beings being shot, and alleged factions of competing alien species.

Key takeaways

• 1Ross Coulthart of NewsNation alleged that the White House ordered the shootdown of UAP over a test range, believed to be White Sands. The Department of War referred questions to the White House, which did not respond.
• 2The LOCUST laser anti-drone system was tested at White Sands. It was developed in connection with retired Maj. Gen. Neil McCasland, who reportedly disappeared days after testing began.
• 3FBI documents released through the PURSUE initiative describe intelligence officials seeing orbs, possibly during a late-2025 'luring' operation involving the ODNI, according to Rep. Eric Burlison.
• 4Sources allege a historic Obama-era UAP shootdown program involving James Clapper and Stephanie Sullivan, plus a laser program called 'Golden Domes' (plural).
• 5David Grusch told Joe Rogan he saw recovery footage of pale, bluish-white non-human bodies. He also described reptilian beings being shot by recovery teams and a 'cold war' between alien factions (reptilians vs. Nordics).
• 6George Knapp says Jacques Vallée acknowledged about a dozen cases of non-human beings taken alive. Knapp also says Russian military orders to leave UFOs alone followed incidents in which jets that fired on them went down.

And it related to a laser which was being tested. And this is verified through news publications and that a laser system called Locust was being tested to shoot down drones over that test range of a White Sands. Locust was developed um with Neil McCasland who who went missing. He was the technology director for the organization that actually developed the system in the first place. The conversation has kind of moved, you know, forward in the last number of weeks because, you know, we're hearing a lot about the beings now, you know, the occupants of these craft.

How you doing, man? Hanging in there, you know, kind of dealing with some stuff on my end that you know about and um and trying to deal with issues about this saggy old body and and but hanging in there and I know, you know, you and I have been kind of removed from the central questions about what's going on UFO world. But whenever we need to reconnect with it, I know where we have to go and it's not to Washington, it's across the pond to the UK and ask our friend Chris Sharp what's going on. That's correct, right? That's where we need to go. Liberation times, man. I've been watching Chris's work. Uh we both have, you know, all the way along and and he's putting out bangers, man. ...
