Outing True Believers. Why Did the Wall Street Journal Collapse the UFO Narrative?
Outing the True Believers or Freeing the Exoconscious
Recently, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), a prominent paywall newspaper read by professionals, published a series of two articles on UFO research.
The WSJ has 3.2 million subscribers. Their typical reader is a well-educated, affluent male in his mid-50s, typically occupying senior roles or investing heavily. Their readers value financial news and market insights, and have significant disposable income and assets.
Here are free links to the WSJ articles this demographic recently read:

Was It Scrap Metal or an Alien Spacecraft? The Army Asked an Elite Defense Lab to Investigate: Pentagon true believers explored the fringes of science, from psychic spies to teleportation to antigravity material
WSJ Part 2: https://archive.is/3QpxK
The Pentagon Disinformation That Fueled America’s UFO Mythology: U.S. military fabricated evidence of alien technology and allowed rumors to fester to cover up real secret-weapons programs
Main Point of the Two WSJ Articles:
The two articles claimed:
1. No Evidence of Alien Technology – Just “Space Metal” with Earthly Origins
Pentagon investigator Sean Kirkpatrick and defense contractors Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works and Oak Ridge National Lab examined purported “alien alloy” from Roswell. Their findings were that it was a terrestrial, not extraterrestrial material.
2. The Pentagon Orchestrated UFO Disinformation to Shield Classified Programs
The article revealed that during the Cold War and beyond, U.S. military personnel deliberately planted fake UFO stories and used false “alien tech” cover stories within the military ranks.
3. Fringe Beliefs were Deliberately Fueled by Internal Myth-Making and Institutional Secrecy
Luis Elizondo, Eric Davis, and Hal Puthoff—along with Pentagon-internal “hazing” rituals (e.g., “Yankee Blue”) reinforced UFO conspiracies.
Regarding both articles, please keep in mind the possible CIA context, as outlined in Project Mockingbird.
Intelligence and Ufology: History and Context
Project Mockingbird was a historical CIA incursion into the Press/News media to plant stories. Given the history of intelligence sharing with the news media, the independence of the press continues to be scrutinized today.
On December 16, 2017, the New York Times (NYT) published Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program. The article focused on UFOs as a national security threat, featuring Disclosure by former members of the United States government involved with the Pentagon’s Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program.
The advent of the NYT article was a milestone. It marked the powerful incursion of intelligence, military, and government into mainstream Ufology, which dramatically shifted the public perception regarding the peril of UFOs and the need for a defensive posture.
In the aftermath of the NYT article, ufology gained mainstream traction, with high-profile intelligence and military experts achieving celebrity status, often accompanied by film and television contracts. Furthermore, the community of once independent UFO researchers gravitated into intelligence and military circles seeking “insider” information as the field of ufology shifted towards a centralized narrative of national defense.
Immediately after the NYT 2017 publication, the Institute for Exoconsciousness sent out a press release countering the threat orientation from an Exoconscious perspective: Extraterrestrial Experiencers See ET Presence as an Opportunity Not a Threat
An Important consideration:
Nearly eight years after the 2017 NYT article publication will the recent WSJ articles have the same powerful impact on the Ufology community of craft researchers and experiencers?
This time, will the WSJ article shift the public’s focus from a UFO threat to now questioning historical Ufology experts once elevated by the NYT article?
What the 2017 NYT UFO article inflated—the 2025 WSJ article deflated!
The present-day context of the WSJ articles includes ufology, geopolitical, and technological influences. Concurrent with the release of the WSJ articles, the following occurred:
Jaime Maussan’s Mexico City press conference with Ufology leaders. Steven Greer, Jaime Maussan, Eric Burlson & Danny Sheehan, at the presentation of The Buga Sphere
Bombing of Iran: an Omni-technological war?
Increasing incursion of AI into personal lives via Palintier contracts and strategic defense Dome technology.
Why WSJ Article? Why Now?
Why the WSJ articles were published at this time is an important question, as it exposes the credulity of mainstream ufologists, many with military and intelligence affiliations, that are now being called into question. What happened? Why did the WSJ publish now?
Since 2017, the Government has spent money creating a centralized narrative and elevating experts, so why pivot suddenly? What has changed?
Is the 2025 CIA-influenced WSJ questioning the information presented by the 2017 CIA-influenced NYTs?
Are we witnessing Counter-intel of Counter-intel? Is this our ouroboros moment, the ancient symbol of the snake eating its tail?
Could we be entering yet another phase of intel, military, and government narrative control of Ufology? We may be moving quickly beyond a need for a CIA centralized UFO narrative into a technocratic AI-managed reality where a comprehensive economic system meets transhuman bodily extensions in a control grid beyond our comprehension. So, there’s no need for UFO myth-making or subterfuge. And no need for Ufologists and Experiencers.
How do professionals—the WSJ demographic of well-educated, affluent males in their mid-50s, typically occupying senior roles or investing heavily—now perceive Ufology? Interestingly, Intel chose to reveal its blanket dismissal of UFOs and extraterrestrial materials to a sophisticated investor class of executive decision makers. This class would be the early adopters of the technocratic transhuman reality. Contactees and UFO researchers will be lumped into the “left behind.”
Where are Exoconscious Humans in this news shift? We may discover newfound freedom from being defined by the ever-confining, Intel-centered narrative. However, it’s up to sovereign Exoconscious Humans to explore and open a new reality, advancing the innate human ability to connect, communicate, and co-create with extraterrestrials, multidimensionals, and spiritual beings
The WSJ may signal a release from the control narrative, opening paths to the co-creation of an Exoconscious Human reality.
