Information about the existence of UFOs was thought to be limited to the federal government.
But the nature of the threat is causing some big changes.
And police chiefs were handed some shocking info on UFOs they never expected.
Police chiefs receive a manual on how to deal with UFOs
The military has been in charge of investigating UFOs and responding to reported sightings of them.
Now the police chiefs of cities are getting a guidebook on how to handle UFOs.
The Major Cities Chiefs Association – a professional group of police chiefs of major American and Canadian cities – produced an 11-page guidebook on how to deal with UFOs.
Police chiefs are warned that UFOs pose “significant safety risks to law enforcement air support units.”
The government refers to UFOs as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).
Sections of the guidebook include Law Enforcement Considerations, Whistleblowers, UAPs and NASA, and UAP Reporting Mechanisms.
“Police officers in the field have historically reported observing UAP while on and off duty, reporting details to dispatch and sharing the information with other local or federal law enforcement agencies, and the U.S. military,” the guidebook states. “Therefore, local law enforcement may have an interest in understanding the potential risks UAP pose to officers when encountered in the field and determine how the details of these incidents are tracked and analyzed to develop appropriate policies and tactics to respond.”
Police are warned that UFOs are a national security threat
The guidebook contains stories from law enforcement that have encountered UFOs on the job.
A cop in Blairsville, Georgia, claimed to have seen strange green lights in the night sky.
“I am a police officer and deputy sheriff. While on duty after dark, near the top of my windshield (frame of view) I witnessed movement in the sky (southbound direction of view),” the cop’s report stated. “Upon concentrating my focus, viewing through the low light, I was able to make out a triangle craft, with 3 dim green lights per side (just bright enough to assess size, shape, and movement)”
The cop said that he lost sight of the object behind some trees.
“I am privy to what helicopters and airplanes look like in the sky, frequently working alongside medical flight crews in the area, and where nearby airports are, making me somewhat familiar with common areas of the sky in which low air travel is common. This was unlike anything I had ever witnessed,” the cop said.
The guidebook talks about the history of government UFO investigations dating back to the Roswell, New Mexico crash in 1947.
Under the section called Law Enforcement Considerations, it states that UFOs are an “unknown threat to public safety.”
“Reports released by AARO [All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office] and ODNI [Office of the Director of National Intelligence] among other U.S. Government and non-profit entities claim that UAP present a clear threat to national security, since their capabilities and origins are unknown,” the guidebook stated.
“Therefore, it’s in the interest of law enforcement to be aware of trends and reporting on UAP due to the unknown threat they may pose and their continued presence in controlled and restricted airspace where police air support units operate,” the guidebook added.
The Major Cities Chiefs Association UFO guidebook raises questions on how often the police are encountering them that it needed to be created.
