Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO)

[Ohio]

This coming off the heels of the 60 minutes report:


Anyone else find this fascinating? I've always believed there was "something else" out there...these developments are really interesting.

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

Anyone else find this fascinating?

Nope.

They'll all have pedestrian explanations.

 

[Ohio]

Nope.

They'll all have pedestrian explanations.

How can that be, based on the pentagon report today? Unless you're saying the government is lying...which is certainly possible (maybe even likely).

There has been no evidence of alien life.

I remember a wave of UFO sightings in the early 70s. It was a thing. In the late 70s people stopped seeing UFOs and started seeing Elvis.

I read the section of the bill that was written.

I read it as politicians being concerned about spying and other nations having technology significantly greater than ours. And that the politicians were putting pressure on their internal organizations to create a better reporting system so that we could expedite gaining an understanding of what exactly we were seeing.

The section of the bill that mentioned this was followed immediately afterwards with brief discussion of foreign individuals gaining access to facilities.

Nothing in the bill suggested we think its alien origin.

That said, Harry Reid and Marco Rubio didn’t want to eliminate that consideration. And the guy heading up Harry Reid’s department, Elizondo wouldn’t either.

Best place to look IMO (yeah yeah I know government lies) is at the bill itself. And the bill indicates a focus on other nations gaining access to our technology.

@Sebastian you think it’ll be skunkworks right?

Most people don’t care about foreign agents stealing technology or spying on us. They do care about UFO sightings if there’s an alien spin to them. Why any presumably intelligent aliens would want to hang on this rock is never explained.

How many reports did they start with?

How many did they already solve or explain?

Sometimes it's just a mundane explanation, and we don't have all the information based off the limited amount of info we have.

For the record, I don't really believe there are "aliens" (at least not the way they're portrayed in pop culture) - just that there's something else out there.

I also believe these sightings are almost certainly just drones or something similar belonging to other countries.

Still, it's intriguing to me that our government (allegedly) does not know what these objects are or where they came from.

"Here's a photo or video. Tell me exactly what it is." Is occasionally a difficult task.

Yep! They are most certainly ours.

Of course the US would test the new tech around our military assets. That way the US can control the rules of engagement and test equipment under combat conditions without risk of the equipment falling into enemy hands.

Foreign near-peer adversaries would be insane to risk their black project equipment so near US assets. If anything went wrong we'd capture the shit and the game would be up.

It is either ours, or NATO, or truly unknown.

Thoughts, @Marcus, @The Human Q-Tip?

I believe aliens are real. They have to exist somewhere in the universe. Space is too vast.

That said do I think aliens are coming here? Probably not. But if this stuff is ours why the charade of doing this investigation and stoking the fire? It's bringing more attention to a secret program if anything.

I 100% believe life exists elsewhere in the universe.

I 100% do not believe that life has visited us during our liftetimes.

I am skeptical that such an encounter will ever happen. As the universe accelerates away from itself, based on our understandings of things, this seems less and less likely.

Finally, if somehow such an encounter were to happen, there is only a small chance that it wouldn't be catastrophically bad for humanity.

Agree with all.

This planet has been around for a tremendous amount of time. The mathematical chances are significantly higher that something checked this place out before we were here than since.

If it/they wanted the resources, they’d likely have taken them. And perhaps they even did and we don’t have the capability of grasping that yet.

If something did want to check us out, I also think the chances are high we couldn’t see it. Some kind of cloaking technology seems likely.

I think the closest estimate to the truth that’s ever been written is definitely L Ron Hubbard.

You guys should look into him if you haven’t. There’s a whole group of people that follow him and to get in all you have to do is get some measurements on how your brain works.

Once you’re in it’s all gravy.

Agreed, 100%.

I've tried the gravy that your brain turns into after joining. 10/10 would recommend.
