The October Surprise of 2022

The calendar says Unidentified Aerial Phenomena will be an issue next year in the United States midterm election. Politics and UFOs are about to mix as never before.

2022 is poised to have the greatest political October Surprise in the history of United States elections.

That’s right. Unidentified flying objects dumped smack into the middle of a national midterm election. UFOs as a political issue. Candidates questioned about where they stand on the issue.

It sounds crazy. It’s not going to happen. Right? I mean, right?

In U.S. politics, an “October Surprise” is a news event that may influence the outcome of an upcoming November election, whether deliberately planned or spontaneously occurring. Because the date for national elections is in early November, events that take place in October have greater potential to influence the decisions of prospective voters; thus, relatively last-minute news stories could either change the course of an election or reinforce the inevitable.

What We Already Know

The “Preliminary Report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” was released on June 25th, 2021.
