As Epstein list nears release: Balloons, UFOs, toxic train derailments

Americans have been closely following reports of flying objects suddenly invading US airspace over the last few days. Ten days ago, a Chinese spy balloon brazenly entered US skies and traversed the entire country before being shot down by the US military. 

The Biden administration acted quicker when an unidentified flying object (UFO) — so far not tied to China — was shot down Friday over the coast of Alaska. On Saturday, another was shot down over Canada. On Sunday, another was shot down over Lake Huron. 

But the Biden administration is being coy about releasing information, briefing Congress with innocuous details that according to lawmakers do not require any special clearance.

US senators were briefed Tuesday by the Department of Defense (DOD), Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) on national security concerns connected to the UFOs.

“99% of what was discussed in that room today can be made public without compromising security in this country,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) told Fox News.

Furthermore, despite what little information is known about these UFOs, no debris has so far been recovered from any of the three that were downed over the weekend.

But Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) says that UFOs are nothing new — they have been flying through US airspace for years. Only in the last ten days did the US military start shooting them down.

“These objects have been flying over us for years, many years,” Kennedy said. “We’ve known about those objects for many years. We’re not sure that we’ve known about all of them, but we’ve known about many of them. Except for the Chinese spy balloon, we don’t know what they are. What’s different about the last two weeks is that we’ve started shooting them down. But we can’t find the remnants. Except for the spy balloon.”

Americans have also been paying close attention to the derailment of a train containing toxic chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio. Local and state authorities started a controlled burn of the chemicals to avoid an explosion, and phosgene, hydrogen chloride and vinyl chloride were released from the train’s cars. Vinyl chloride, a colorless gas and carcinogen used to manufacture PVC, risks contaminating the air and water for the residents of the Ohio River Basin.

Indeed, some residents are already reporting concerning symptoms such as bad coughs, sore throats, headaches and diarrhea, according to the Daily Wire. Reports of fish, wildlife and farm animals dying have also been circulating since the chemicals were burned.

The derailment was eerily predicted in the movie “White Noise” released last year by Netflix. The film was set in a small town affected by a release of dangerous chemicals resulting from a train derailment. One of the East Palestine, Ohio residents, who was forced to evacuate the town recently, had played one of the evacuees in that movie.

Then on Monday, another train carrying “hazardous materials” reportedly derailed in Houston, Texas, followed by another train derailment in Enoree, South Carolina.

The UFOs and train derailments come amid reports that documents containing the names of late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s associates will be released by the court within the coming months. The Daily Mail reported Friday that these documents are expected to contain serious allegations related to 167 of the pedophile ringleader’s associates, victims, and employees.

Epstein’s associates are known to include powerful and influential elites such as the Clinton family. Former President Bill Clinton visited Epstein’s “Lolita Island” 26 times according to previously released court documents and has appeared in photographs alongside Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell is currently serving time for her part in in managing Epstein’s pedophile ring and overseeing child recruitment. Maxwell was even invited to former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in 2010 where Chelsea had a “strict no-strangers policy” and invited only those whom she personally knew. 

Other visitors include England’s Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his royal title and military affiliations following accusations by one of Maxwell’s trafficked victims, Virginia Giuffre who alleged the royal had sex with her three times at the age of 17. Prince Andrew has since settled the lawsuit. 

President Donald Trump was also named as a friend of Epstein and Maxwell, and appeared in at least one photograph with the convicted sex traffickers, though court testimony is not clear on how close the friendship was. According to Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark, Trump flew on the Lolita Express once because “he needed a ride back to New York.”  

Other known associates include Bill Gates and Alan Dershowitz, though it is unclear how deep the associations were.

Maxwell kept a list of several high-profile “John Does”. In January, Maxwell notified Judge Loretta Preska of the Southern District of New York that she would no longer fight to keep the list private, leaving it up to the court to decide to unseal the names. 

But the names continued to remain sealed when dozens of the John and Jane Does mentioned in court filings refused to have their names publicized. They have since consented to revealing their identities.

According to a declaration filed Wednesday, the documents to be released are expected to include the names of “‘alleged perpetrators' or individuals accused of 'serious wrongdoing', as well as law enforcement officers and prosecutors” in addition to “at least one public figure”, says the Daily Mail.

The date of release is still unknown; but between now and then, the Biden administration may suddenly find the debris from the downed UFOs.
