Did you make that call for the New Jersey congressional delegation with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas?

Key Pallone:

“Well, I’m not supposed to talk about it,” Rep. Frank Pallone exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “I mean, I don't know.”

Caught our ear:

“It was for members,” Pallone’s aide says. “It wasn't for the public.”

TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Frank Pallone

SCENE: After voting on the House floor, Rep. Frank Pallone and an aide are walking through the US Capitol when Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo catches him.

Frank Pallone: “How are you?“

Matt Laslo: “Not bad. Did you make that call with Mayorkas earlier this week?”

FP: “Huh?”

ML: “About stuff flying over...”

Aide: “About the drone stuff.”

FP: “Oh, yeah, but was that off the record or...?”

Aide: “I assume it is.”

FP: “I assume it was. Why? What do you want to know?”

ML: “Just did it assuage any of your constituent's fears?”

Ho, ho, ho… Consider chipping in to support our independent journalism —Venmo, PayPal, Cash App — or just buy us a beer!

FP: “Well, I’m not supposed to talk about it.”

ML: “You're not?”

FP: “No. It wasn't like a — I mean, I don't know.”

ML: “Should your constituents be worried about the stuff flying overhead? Or did you leave there convinced they got it?”

Aide: “Well, it was for members. It wasn't for the public.”

FP: “I mean, off the record...”

ML: ”Yeah.”

Pallone briefly goes off-the-record.

FP: “But, I mean, I didn't say that, because I'm not sure.”

ML: “Yeah?”

Laslo laughs.

ML: “Me neither. Have a good one.”

I’m in Kean’s district, not Pallone’s, but I have to say how much better I feel hearing what he has to say😆🤣. If the DoD and the rest of them can’t provide anything else but crickets 🦗 on this, then it’s time to start asking for more. Publicly. Have they tried to intercept or shoot down? Are there radar returns? We have satellites that can read license plate numbers. Don’t tell me they can’t track these things. Or if they truly can’t, then they’re displaying anomalous characteristics, then it’s time to fess up about that. Or else I’m inclined to go along with Dr. Colm Kelleher’s idea that some or all of this is UAP mimicking “drones.” Pols saying that they can’t say anything won’t do anymore.

Keep in mind no matter how far our satellites can see, they likely can not see at dark. Night vision uses Infrared light & that can be blocked by clouds, fog, or likely high humidity. But I still agree they can likely track them some how. Anyways where did Dr Kelleher say this? Some podcast some where recently?

Yes, I believe that I heard Kelleher discuss the mimicry issue on James Iandoli’s Engaging the Phenomenon podcast, maybe sometime in the last year.

You’re welcome. I also think he discussed on Andy’s That UFO Podcast back in December 2023. Here’s the link:
