Title: A few in Washington are treating UFOs as a national security issue.
Post by: Andrew Costa Mesa on May 24, 2021, 02:41:12 AM
Not too long ago, any mention of UFOs in the U.S. were guaranteed one-way tickets to the loony bin.  Now there are a few in Washington that are actually treating this as a national security issue.

SERIOUSLY wild times! I've seen some of that video shot from a cockpit of a fighter jet that was declassified and it's pretty crazy!  When the pentagon talks about legit worries of unknown technology that they know for a fact is impossible currently on earth (some of the reports of these ships maneuvering in ways the human body can't cope with, for example) AND releasing previously classified docs, you know something is nutty!  Not to mention references to even crazier instances that they can't declassify because it would "give away" bits of classified government technology!

I guess the former lead singer of Blink 182 wasn't crazy for quitting the band to focus on UFO stuff afterall!  :P

This comes and goes.  Remember Project Blue Book in the 50's and 60's?

I believe in extraterrestrial intelligence.  There are too many planets out there not to.  I'm not convinced they are visiting here though.  The problem for me is the variety of UFOs.  If they were all the same or similar design then I would tend to believe more.  But they are all so different.  Unless we are a galactic hotspot, why would so many different people be visiting here?

To me this is more of a "this is a really fascinating thing: WTF is going on?!" than a "it is/is not aliens."  We legit have the US armed forces _NERVOUS_ about phenomena that are doing things in restricted US military airspace that no known human aircraft can do: some reports describe things that a human body likely could not handled as far as G-forces and whatnot!  I do tend to agree that it's incredibly egotistical to think humanity is the only intelligent being in the universe: of even the most intelligent.  Beyond the probability of that there is likely intelligent life of some sort out in the universe, IDK what to think about all of this.  The intellectual part of me definitely wants to investigate and figure out exactly what this is (some of the military officer/pilot's descriptions are really interesting - especially the "tic-tac" esque aircraft): at least to eliminate all possibilities of what it definitely is not.

The U.S. government announced that the 120 sightings of aerial phenomena witnessed over the past 20 years by U.S. Navy pilots was not alien spacecraft but still couldn’t explain the odd sightings.

If they have no idea what they are, then how can they say it's not aliens?

It turns out that the reporting that it's not aliens was presumptive by the NYT.  When questioned about it the Pentagon spokesperson said that's not what they said and they have no comments about what the press is saying.  So now the NYT has changed their story to say that aliens have not been ruled out.

The U.S. government is sending mixed messages as to whether or not there have been alien sightings.  They say there is no proof the UFOs are aliens but at the same time, they can't explain what they are. 

Sounds like they are not entirely ruling it out.

I hope that sooner rather than later they release the good stuff.  According to the guy who should know, the images that have been leaked so far are the most boring.  They have photos of them clear as day from 50 foot away.

I think it’s time travelers from the future.

Lol; I'm sure the unaccounted for pregnancies have nothing to do with folks not wanting to fess up to maybe inappropriate or unwanted relationships (ladies cheating on husbands, one-night-stands, bad decisions, etc).

"why no, dear, I'm totally not having an affair: IT WAS ALIENS!!!"  :P :P

Now that I would like to see, has anyone watched Josh Gates show Fact or Faked?? I actually really enjoy when people debunk the videos and show how they can be made, there were a couple they couldn't recreate....

'unaccounted for pregnancies,'

Oh yeah, sure!  They had one night stands and now they expect us to believe they were impregnated by aliens!
