UFOs…, they’re not just for conspiracy theorists anymore!

Bill Whitaker, of CBS News, reports on the regular sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP [UFOs], that have spurred a report due to Congress next month.

The government still doesn’t want to fully give credence to “UFOs,” after denying their existence for decades, so they came up with “unidentified aerial phenomena,” UAPs,” which basically means the same thing, but it allows them some “syntaxic” wiggle room.

We have learned it’s all about plausible deniability in the end.

Whitaker begins by saying, “We have tackled many strange stories on 60 Minutes, but perhaps none like this.”

It’s only a “strange story,” Bill, if you’ve had your head in the sand, or you just believe everything the government feeds you. In your case, Bill, I’d go with the latter. I think we all realize by now that 60 Minutes does not report things that is not approved government propaganda.

If you try, really, really hard, I’m sure you can “tackle” this story as well.

Whitaker continues by saying, “It’s the story of the U.S. government’s grudging acknowledgment of unidentified aerial phenomena— UAP—more commonly known as UFOs. After decades of public denial the Pentagon now admits there’s something out there, and the U.S. Senate wants to know what it is. The intelligence committee has ordered the director of national intelligence and the secretary of defense to deliver a report on the mysterious sightings by next month.”

Ha! Thanks for the acknowledgment. Are you going to acknowledge that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself next?

We’ve got the Pentagon admitting something and the Senate wanting to know something. Would anyone care to wager that this much anticipated report doesn’t provide much in either case?

Whitaker interviewed Luis Elizondo, who spent 20 years running military intelligence operations worldwide: in Afghanistan, the Middle East and Guantanamo. He hadn’t given UFOs a second thought until 2008. That’s when he was asked to join something at the Pentagon called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, or “AATIP.”

“So what you are telling me is that UFOs, unidentified flying objects, are real?”

“Bill, I think we’re beyond that already. The government has already stated for the record that they’re real. I’m not telling you that. The United States government is telling you that.”

If the United States government is telling us that, then I may actually have to question whether they’re real or not.

Just sayin’.

“The mission of AATIP was quite simple. It was to collect and analyze information involving anomalous aerial vehicles, what I guess in the vernacular you call them UFOs. We call them UAPs.

You say “tomaytoes,” I say “tomahtoes.” Whatever.

“You know how this sounds? It sounds nutty, wacky.”

You mean like saying Joe Biden got more black votes than Barack Obama, or that Joe Biden got the most votes in presidential election history when he campaigned from his basement, and when he bothered to come out he got like twelve people at his appearance? Is it that kind of “nutty” and “wacky?”

Elizondo says, “Imagine a technology that can do 6-to-700 g-forces [Normal humans can withstand no more than 9 g’s, and even that for only few seconds.], that can fly at 13,000 miles an hour [The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is the fastest jet aircraft in the world, reaching speeds of Mach 3.3, which is more than 2,100 mph/3,500 kph], that can evade radar and that can fly through air and water and possibly space. And oh, by the way, has no obvious signs of propulsion, no wings, no control surfaces and yet still can defy the natural effects of Earth’s gravity. That’s precisely what we’re seeing.”

We need to read that last paragraph again.

And he says that’s precisely what they’re seeing.

“Recently released images may not convince UFO skeptics, but the pentagon admits it doesn’t know what in the world this is, or this, or this.”

“These photographs were taken in 2019 in the same area. The Pentagon confirms these are images of objects it can’t identify. Former Navy pilot Lieutenant Ryan Graves told us pilots training off the Atlantic Coast see things like that all the time. Every day. Every day for at least a couple years.”

Again, we need to read that last paragraph again.

They see these things EVERY DAY!

“EVERY DAY FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF YEARS!!!”

“Graves said, ‘I am worried, frankly. You know, if these were tactical jets from another country that were hangin’ out up there, it would be a massive issue. But because it looks slightly different, we’re not willing to actually look at the problem in the face. We’re happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there, watching us every day.’”

If these things were Chinese or Russian in origin, The USA as we know it, or at least as we knew it, would be a distant memory already.

The question we have to ask ourselves is, WHY IS THIS NOT A BIGGER STORY?!

Isn’t this, potentially, the biggest story of the millennium?

Isn’t this story bigger than Watergate?

This story is certainly bigger than the fake news Russian collusion story, which was shoved down our throats 24/7/365 for almost 3 years!!!

Seriously…, what set of circumstances has the potential to change our lives, like we know them, like the existence of intelligent alien life, apparently much more advanced than our own, here on planet Earth?

The Pentagon and the U.S. government think they control the release of this story, with the release of their report to Congress…, when in reality, it is the beings associated with these UFOs who control the story in the end.

They can take center stage whenever they want to.

Can we really question the presence of UFOs anymore?

Robert Gearty of Fox News reports that, “A former U.S. Navy fighter pilot spoke this month about what he says was an encounter with a ‘Tic Tac’-shaped UFO.”

“Retired Cmdr. David Fravor recalled the strange encounter off San Diego 16 years ago (in 2004) in a Sept. 8 podcast with MIT research scientist Lex Fridman.”

“Fravor says he was dispatched to investigate radar anomalies and later described what he saw as ‘like nothing I’ve ever seen’ – a Tic Tac-shaped object able to turn on a dime and make itself invisible to radar, New Zealand’s TV Channel 3 reported.”

“He was followed by other pilots who managed to catch it on video. Clips were leaked in 2017 by a UFO research group, and formally declassified in 2020 by the Pentagon, according to the station.”

“This is not like, ‘we saw it and it was gone’, or ‘I saw lights in the sky and it’s gone’ – we watched this thing on a crystal clear day with four trained observers,’ Fravor said.”

“Fridman called Fravor ‘one of the most credible witnesses’ in the history of UFO research.”

Colin Drury, for the on-line British newspaper, “The Independent,” reported that, “[Navy pilot] Chad Underwood [who flew with Commander Fravor] broke 15 years of silence on the subject, describing the object he recorded over the Pacific Ocean as ‘not behaving within the normal laws of physics.’”

“He said: ‘It was going from like 50,000 feet to 100 feet in like seconds, which is not possible.’”

‘“It was just behaving in ways that aren’t physically normal. That’s what caught my eye. Because, aircraft, whether they’re manned or unmanned, still have to obey the laws of physics. They have to have some source of lift, some source of propulsion. The tic-tac was not doing that.’”

Commander Fravor also described his alien encounter while on the Tucker Carlson show, on the Fox News channel.

According to Commander Fravor, he and another jet were on a training mission off the coast of southern California, when their training was cancelled and they were redirected to another area to check out something that had shown up on the ship’s, the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz’s, radar. After arriving at the target location, “Both of us, both airplanes, see a disturbance in the water, and a white 40 foot long tic-tac shaped object was hovering above the water.”

“It was going forward, back, left and right. There was no rotor wash, no wings, nothing.”

“As we go down it starts to mirror us and we’re getting a great look at it.”

I decide to go see what it is, and as I get within a half mile of it, it rapidly accelerates and disappears.”

You can view the interview yourself at the link below and decide if you feel he is a credible witness or not.

Either he saw an alien craft or he didn’t. I don’t think a case of mistaken identity is an option here.

You decide.

http://video.foxnews.com/v/5688855197001

I don’t know about you, but Commander Fravor seems totally believable to me.

To me, the only question is, why isn’t this bigger news?

So, if we can’t explain something the mainstream media just ignores it?

Purposefully ignoring a newsworthy story is called propaganda by omission, which MrEricksonRules followers are already aware of.

But, what is the mainstream media hoping to gain by not covering this story?

The truth is out there…, but we’re not going to find it if we don’t even look for it.

Is this real UFO evidence?

Is this evidence of “a new enemy that could fly from pole to pole at incredible speeds,” according to Admiral Richard Byrd?

Harry Pettit, for “The Sun,” and republished in the New York Post, reports, “An incredible cloud phenomenon appearing to stretch thousands of miles across the Earth has sent conspiracy theorists into a frenzy.”

I would argue that not just “conspiracy theorists” were sent “into a frenzy,” but some scientists and “experts” were sent into a frenzy trying to explain away this strange phenomenon.

“The cloud resembles a contrail emitted by an airplane but is much longer, seemingly reaching from pole to pole,” Pettit continued.

“It was spotted this week [back in March of 2019] by an eagle-eyed space fan watching a public live feed from the International Space Station.”

Typical contrails dissipate in the atmosphere in about 30 minutes or less, however, which means the object, or craft, that created this 13,000 mile, intact contrail, would have had to have been traveling at a speed roughly 10 times faster than the fastest aircraft currently known to exist on the planet.

“The mysterious clip was later uploaded to YouTube, baffling conspiracy nuts.”

Please note…, “conspiracy nuts” are only “conspiracy nuts” until the conspiracy is proven to exist…, then we discover we had been dealing with “cover-up nuts!”

It’s all a matter of perspective.

The U.S. Navy has confirmed, with its recent UFO admissions, that many of these “nuts” weren’t so nutty after all.

Pettit continues by saying, “But it turns out the strange line has a far simpler explanation. The line is simply a rare form of cloud.”

Oh…, okay, it’s just a cloud.

Well, that takes care of that.

It’s simply a thin cloud that stretches in a perfectly straight line for 13,000 miles!

I don’t think there’s anything simple about that explanation, nor anything correct either!

“David Schultz, a Professor of Synoptic Meteorology at the University of Manchester, said he believes a low-pressure storm is responsible.”

‘“It looks like the back edge of a cloud associated with an extratropical cyclone, i.e. a low-pressure system. It’s unusual, but it is real,’ he said.”

Excuse me Professor Schulz, but that ain’t no cloud!

Not even an “unusual” cloud, or a “rare form of a cloud.”

There is no cloud, nor will there ever be a cloud, that spans 13,000 miles, from pole to pole, halfway around the globe.

You’re giving crappy “professors” a bad name all around the world.

“It appears to stretch across a massive portion of the Earth because of a trick of the light.”

‘“Combined with the camera’s perspective, this is making you think there is a very large shadow covering a big chunk of the earth,’ a spokesman said.”

Yes, folks…, don’t believe your own eyes.

It’s all just a big light trick.

“The perspective trick makes the cloud appear ‘farther and straighter’ than the image would have you believe, he added.”

Is that the same type of trick that would have us believe you’re more intelligent than we are just because the title of “professor” is in front of your name?

Doesn’t this sound like the tired, old, government explanations for UFOs like swamp gas, weather balloons, military flares, atmospheric anomalies, optical illusions, etc.?

Pettit concludes by saying, “Looks like it’s tough luck for conspiracy fans, although perhaps it’s comforting to know a UFO wasn’t blitzing across our skies.”

I would say, “No Mr. Pettit, I would say it’s tough luck for people like you who are willing to accept these lame explanations and be perfectly happy to go on, wallowing in your own ignorance.

Now, getting back to my earlier Admiral Byrd reference, and how this “cloud phenomenon” may support claims by Admiral Byrd made over 70 years ago.

Based on information from The History Channel and from the Galnet website, “An extraordinary 2006 Russian documentary was recently translated into English revealing new information about a US Navy Antarctica expedition in 1946 and 1947.”

“Originally scheduled for a six-month period, the scientific expedition was officially called The United States Navy Antarctic Development Program, and given the operational name ‘Highjump.’ The naval component of Operation ‘Highjump’ was known as Task Force 68 and was comprised of 4,700 military personnel, one aircraft carrier (the USS Philippine Sea, among the largest of all carriers of the time), and a number of naval support ships and aircraft.”

This was no small operation.

President Harry Truman had personally picked Byrd to lead this operation, but he was no stranger to special assignments.

Rear Admiral Richard Byrd was an American naval officer and explorer. He was a recipient of the Medal of Honor, the highest honor for valor given by the United States, and was a pioneering American aviator, polar explorer, and organizer of polar logistics. Aircraft flights in which he served as a navigator and expedition leader crossed the Atlantic Ocean, a segment of the Arctic Ocean, and a segment of the Antarctic Plateau. His expeditions had been the first to reach both the North Pole and the South Pole by air.

Admiral Byrd had a distinguished career dating back to World War I, on through World War II, and in the following years as well.

Admiral Byrd had been recognized by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and President Herbert Hoover as well.

Byrd was highly respected, highly decorated, and an officer held in the highest regard. Please keep that in mind when reading about this particular adventure.

“This Naval expedition [Operation Highjump] was headed by famed polar explorer Admiral Richard Byrd, who had been ordered to consolidate and extend American sovereignty over the largest practical area of the Antarctic continent.”

“Byrd’s expedition ended after only 8 weeks with many fatalities according to initial news reports based on interviews with crew members who spoke to the press while passing through Chilean ports. Rather than deny the heavy casualty reports, Admiral Byrd revealed in a press interview that ‘TASK FORCE 68 HAD ENCOUNTERED A NEW ENEMY THAT COULD FLY FROM POLE TO POLE AT INCREDIBLE SPEEDS.’”

“Admiral Byrd’s statements were published in the Chilean Press but never publicly confirmed by US authorities. Indeed, Byrd did not speak again to the Press about Operation Highjump, leaving it for researchers to speculate for decades over what really happened, and why Byrd was silenced.”

“After the Soviet collapse in 1991, the KGB released previously classified files that cast light on the mysterious Byrd led Naval expedition to Antarctica. A 2006 Russian documentary, recently translated, made public for the first time a 1947 secret Soviet intelligence report commissioned by Joseph Stalin of Task 68’s mission to Antarctica.”

“The intelligence report revealed that the US Navy had sent the military expedition to find and destroy a hidden Nazi base. On the way, they encountered a mysterious UFO force that attacked the military expedition destroying several ships and a significant number of planes!”

What?!

“It is a historical fact that Nazi Germany devoted significant resources to the exploration of Antarctica, and established a prewar presence there with its first mission in the Antarctic summer of 1938. According to a statement by Grand Admiral Donitz in 1943, ‘The German submarine fleet is proud of having built for the Fuhrer, in another part of the world, a Shangri-La land, an impregnable fortress.’”

“If the fortress was in Antarctica, was it built by the Nazis, or discovered there? After the defeat of Nazi Germany, according to various sources, elite Nazi scientists and leaders escaped to this impregnable fortress by U-boats, two of which experienced difficulties and surrendered in Argentina.”

“In the Soviet intelligence report, never before known testimony by two US Navy servicemen with Operation Highjump was revealed. A recent article in ‘New Dawn’ by Frank Joseph gives a detailed analysis of the two eyewitness accounts, only the latter of which was mentioned in the 2006 Russian documentary. John P. Szehwach, a radioman stationed on the USS Brownson, gave testimony of how UFOs appeared dramatically out of the ocean depths. On January 17, 1947 at 0700 hours, Szehwach said:”

‘“I and my shipmates in the pilothouse port side observed for several minutes the bright lights that ascended about 45 degrees into the sky very quickly We couldn’t i.d. the lights because our radar was limited to 250 miles in a straight line.’”

“Over the next several weeks, according to the Soviet report, the UFOs flew close over the US naval flotilla which fired on the UFOs which did retaliate with deadly effects. According to Lieutenant John Sayerson, a flying boat pilot:”

‘“The thing shot vertically out of the water at tremendous velocity, as though pursued by the devil, and flew between the masts [of the ship] at such a high speed that the radio antenna oscillated back and forth in its turbulence. An aircraft [a Martin flying-boat] from the Currituck that took off just a few moments later was struck with an unknown type of ray from the object, and almost instantly crashed into the sea near our vessel. About ten miles away, the torpedo-boat Maddox burst into flames and began to sink. Having personally witnessed this attack by the object that flew out of the sea, all I can say is, it was frightening.”

“The destructive technology used by the UFOs in the Soviet intelligence report was not something that had been developed by the defeated Nazis, who had only shortly before been forced to retreat to the South Atlantic. It appears the UFOs were not intent on destroying Task Force 68, but forcing it to turn back. Were the UFOs protecting the retreating Nazis and/or their own presence in Antarctica?”

“This suggests that Admiral Byrd’s initial press report was accurate that ‘a new enemy that could fly from pole to pole at incredible speeds had emerged.’ Most importantly, the UFO force had inflicted heavy casualties on the US Navy that was powerless to oppose it. The world’s first known battle between the United States military and an unknown UFO fleet based near Antarctica very likely occurred in 1947, and the general public has never learned about it until now.”

Believe it or not!

But now, we do have that photographic evidence of a 13,000 mile long contrail, which would seem to back-up Admiral Byrd’s claims.

As long as the government can continue to convince people to not believe their own eyes, I guess they’ll be able to continue to side step the truth.

We’re all entitled to our opinions. I value yours and your feedback as well.

I’d love to hear from you!

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

The U.S. Navy UFO mystery just became even more of a mystery!

Please refer to my prior blogs on this subject:

June 20, 2019: UFOs are back in the headlines!

https://mrericksonrules.com/2019/06/20/ufos-are-back-in-the-headlines/

June 24, 2019: UFOs are flying back into the news…, again!

https://mrericksonrules.com/2019/06/24/ufos-are-flying-back-into-the-news-again/

According to Chris Ciaccia of Fox News, “The U.S. Navy’s acknowledgment that the 2004 videos of an encounter with a UFO were real has caused much consternation. Now, a new report says two ‘unknown individuals’ told several Naval officers who witnessed the event, known as the USS Nimitz UFO incident, to delete evidence.”

Sounds like “Men in Black!”

“The report, published in Popular Mechanics, cites interviews with five Navy veterans who discussed what they experienced at the time while they were sailing on the USS Princeton on Nov. 14, 2004, off the coast of southern California.”

“One of the men, Gary Voorhis, said he was chatting with some of the radar techs on the USS Princeton when he heard them talking about ‘ghost tracks’ and ‘clutter’ on the radar system, a state-of-the-art Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) and AEGIS [A name taken from ancient Greek mythology. An ‘aegis’ was something that offered physical protection. In some stories, it was the thundercloud where Zeus kept the thunderbolts he used as weapons. In others, the aegis was a magical protective cloak made from the skin of the goat that had suckled Zeus as an infant.] Combat System.”

“The air control systems were taken down, recalibrated to clear out the supposed false alarms when the tracks got clearer, he said.”

‘“Once we finished all the recalibration and brought it back up, the tracks were actually sharper and clearer,’ Voorhis told the news outlet. ‘Sometimes they’d [the UFOs] be at an altitude of 80,000 or 60,000 feet. Other times they’d be around 30,000 feet, going like 100 knots [115mph]. Their radar cross sections didn’t match any known aircraft; they were 100 percent red [unidentified]. No squawk, no IFF (Identification Friend or Foe).’”

“Operations Specialist Senior Chief Kevin Day said in the documentary film, The Nimitz Encounters, that his job was to ‘man the radars and ID everything that flew in the skies.’”

“On or around Nov. 10, approximately 100 miles off the San Diego coast, Day noticed the strange ‘tracks’ on the radar.”

‘“The reason why I say they were weird [is] because they were appearing in groups of five to 10 at a time and they were pretty closely spaced to each other. And they were [at] 28,000 feet going a hundred knots tracking south,’ Day said in the documentary.”

“The Navy eventually sent out fighter jets to get a look at the object[s], with one succeeding in getting it [one] on video–the now-famous black-and-white tape that was released publicly in 2017. Along with that tape, there were two other video recordings from years later that were released publicly by the New York Times, Fox News has previously reported.”

“The videos in question, [are] known as ‘FLIR1,’ ‘Gimbal’ and ‘GoFast,’”

“The first video of the unidentified object was taken on Nov. 14, 2004, and shot by the F-18's gun camera. The second video was taken on Jan. 21, 2015, and shows another aerial vehicle with pilots commenting on how strange it is. The third video was also taken on Jan. 21, 2015, but it is unclear whether the third video was of the same object or a different one.”

“After the incident with the ‘Tic Tac’-shaped object that Voorhis said gave off ‘a kind of a phosphorus glow’ at night while darting around, two ‘unknown individuals’ took all of the data recordings.”

Did they hold up a silver thing, and ask you all to look at it as it gave off a big red flash?

‘“They were not on the ship earlier, and I didn’t see them come on. I’m not sure how they got there,’ said P.J. Hughes, who was miles away from the Princeton, and was unaware of the unidentified objects, in the interview.”

“Hughes added that he was told by his commanding officer to turn over the recently secured hard drives of the airborne early-warning aircraft, the E-2 Hawkeye.”

‘“We put them in the bags, he took them, then he and the two anonymous officers left,’ Hughes said.”

“On the Princeton, Voorhis described a similar situation.”

‘“These two guys show up on a helicopter, which wasn’t uncommon, but shortly after they arrived, maybe 20 minutes [later], I was told by my chain of command to turn over all the data recordings for the AEGIS system,’ Voorhis added in the interview with Popular Mechanics.”

“It may be convenient to blame ‘unknown individuals’ for the disappearance of the tapes, but Cmdr. David Fravor, one of the pilots who was able to get a close view of the object, said people accidentally erased and recorded over them.”

Uh huh.

‘“You know how it is when you go to and from cruise,’ Fravor said in a January interview on The Fighter Pilot Podcast. ‘Someone goes, “What are these? Hey, they look like blank 8mm tapes. We’ll just use them.”’”

Ya…, we know how it goes alright!

“Earlier this year, the Navy issued new classified guidelines on how to report such instances ‘in response to unknown, advanced aircraft flying into or near Navy strike groups or other sensitive military facilities and formations.’”

Uh, ya…, the “guidelines” make it clear that anyone involved should turn everything over to “The Men in Black” immediately and keep their mouths shut next time!

Here are some recent poll numbers regarding Americans’ beliefs regarding UFOs.

According to a recent article by Christopher Carbone of Fox News, “Two-thirds of Americans say the government knows more than it’s saying about UFOs.”

Well that’s a pretty safe assumption to believe the government knows more about something than it lets on.

“In a Gallup poll released Friday, 68 percent of respondents said the government is not leveling with the public about what it knows, however, it appears that the public remains skeptical of actual sightings of unidentified flying objects.”

“Only 33 percent of U.S. adults believe that some UFO sightings over the years have in fact been alien spacecraft visiting Earth.”

“The remaining 60 percent are skeptical, saying that all such sightings can be explained by human activity or natural phenomenon.”

“The poll also has a demographic breakdown of which Americans are more likely to believe that UFOs are alien spacecraft.”

Of course…, they had to go “there.”

“Residents of the West rate the highest, with 40 percent, compared with 32 percent for those in the East and 27 percent in the Midwest. Americans of a lower socioeconomic status are more likely to believe UFOs are real, as well.”

“Socioeconomic status” is the new politically correct term for “how rich you are.”

It sounds like they are entertaining doubts about the intelligence of people based on a lack of wealth.

Far be it for us lowlifes to question the intelligence of all of these well-to-do people who become alcoholic, and drug addicts because their life is so hard.

Far be it for us lowlifes to question the intelligence of all of these well-to-do people who feel the need to go into therapy or rehab on a regular basis because their life is so hard.

Far be it for us lowlifes to question the intelligence of all of these well-to-do people who feel the need commit suicide because their life is so hard.

It must be such a terrible burden to be so intelligent and so rich.

“Intelligence” is a relative term I guess.

“It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.” – Epictetus

“True wisdom is knowing what you don’t know.” – Confucius

“The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing.” – Socrates

Are you getting the picture?

“Whether or not Americans believe the government is being honest, it’s clear from the poll that the topic has entered the country’s consciousness, since 86 percent of adults say they have heard of or read about unidentified flying objects.”

WAIT, WHAT?!

I believe we have stumbled across the most important statistic of all here!

The poll says that “86 percent of adults have heard of or read about unidentified flying objects [UFOs].”

I would hope so, since “the country” has been dealing with UFOs for well over 100 years now!

It kind of started with H.G. Wells’ novel “The War of the Worlds,” then Orson Welles’ famous radio broadcast, “The War of the Worlds.” Then the Roswell incident, then Project Blue Book, followed by thousands of books and hundreds of movies and TV shows on the subject.

What about all of the interest in “Area 51,” intermittent news reports on the subject and the many documentaries that are out there?

How about the movie series “Alien?” How about “Star Trek,” “E.T.,” “Close encounters of the Third Kind,” “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” “Independence Day,” “Men in Black,” “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “Contact,” or “The Thing?”

How about TV shows like “Ancient Aliens?” How about shows like “The X-Files,” “The Outer Limits,” “Lost in Space,” “Star Trek,” “3^rd Rock from The Sun,” “My Favorite Martian,” “The Invaders,” “Star Gate,” “Alf,” “Mork and Mindy,” or the many others?

That means that 14% of the adults in the poll have NEVER HEARD OF and are NOT AWARE OF UFOs or aliens at all!

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!

Who are these 14% of people who have never heard of UFOs before?!

I believe this is virtually impossible.

I mean, you may not believe in UFOs, and that’s okay, but surely you’ve heard of UFOs!

So, what does this mean?

My theory is that these 14% are not telling the truth!

It means this 14% are actually aliens who do not want to give any credence to the whole UFO topic, thus blowing their cover!

It’s either that or we have 14% of adults out there who are too stupid to even imagine.

On second thought, I guess I could go either way.

Stay thirsty my friends!

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

UFOs are flying back into the news…, again!

This seems to be a growing trend. And most of the news has been coming directly from the government or the military…, which is quite unusual.

Typically they are the ones denying this or denying that, or just refusing to comment altogether.

So what’s going on?

According to Sam Dorman of Fox News, “The Defense Department reportedly briefed Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., on Wednesday, along with two other senators as part of what appeared to be heightened efforts to inform politicians about naval encounters with unidentified aircraft.”

This is highly unusual! The Defense Department initiating briefings and volunteering information! Unheard of!

“As part of a program investigating the issue, Navy personnel reportedly told Pentagon officials that they encountered aircraft that appeared to ‘defy the laws of physics and aerodynamics while in military airspace.’”

“Navy strike group pilots also reported seeing strange objects flying above 30,000 feet at hypersonic speeds with no visible engine or infrared exhaust fumes, according to the New York Times.”

These comments don’t leave much room for doubt, do they? The Navy is obviously beginning the process of covering its backside, because they don’t know what else to do at this point.

“Asked if he knew if there was evidence of extraterrestrial life, President Trump said: ‘I think our great pilots would know. And some of them see things a little bit different from the past. We’re watching, and you’ll be the first to know.’”

“Christopher Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, has said that the U.S. knew UFOs existed. ‘We know that UFOs exist. This is no longer an issue,’ he said. ‘The issue is why are they here, where are they coming from, and what is the technology behind these devices that we are observing?’”

This is a “former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence” saying this.

As I have discussed in previous blogs, if these things are extraterrestrial in nature, we’re dealing with beings that are FAR more advanced than we are.

If we’re dealing with UFOs that have earthly origins, from other countries, then we are in big trouble as well…, because we obviously are lagging far behind someone technology-wise.

Stay tuned. I’ll keep you posted on the whole subject of UFOs as more information comes out.

The truth is out there…, and it’s getting closer all the time.

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

UFOs are back in the headlines!

I must admit that I have an interest and a curiosity in the subject of UFOs.

On one hand my interest and curiosity lies with the possibility that we are being visited by extraterrestrials, and on the other hand we have the U.S. government seemingly trying to cover up this possible UFO activity, which peeks my interest as well.

Taking the “laws” of nature and physics into consideration, it is extremely likely that there are other intelligent life forms out there in the universe, but it is also extremely unlikely they’ve been able to visit us.

The closest star system to Earth is Alpha Centauri, which is 4.22 million light years away; meaning if we could travel at the speed of light (which we can’t) it would take us 4.22 million years to get there.

And that’s the closest star!

See what I mean when I say “it is also extremely unlikely they’ve been able to visit us.”

But…, we make those assumptions based only on knowing what we know. We don’t know what we don’t know yet! Science learns more every day, and Man’s limitations are changed every day as well. So who knows?

But that begs the question, if nothing is happening regarding UFOs, why the need to cover anything up?

If nothing is happening regarding UFOs, why the need to draft new guidelines to report these “encounters?”

According to Christopher Carbone for Fox News, this is exactly what the U.S. Nay is currently doing. “The U.S. Navy is drafting new guidelines for pilots and other employees to report encounters with ‘unidentified aircraft.’”

“The new effort comes in response to more sightings of unknown, advanced aircraft flying into or near Navy strike groups or other sensitive military facilities and formations, according to the Navy.”

‘“There have been a number of reports of unauthorized and/or unidentified aircraft entering various military-controlled ranges and designated air space in recent years,’ the Navy said in a statement to Politico, which first reported the move.”

“For safety and security concerns, the Navy and the [U.S. Air Force] take these reports very seriously and investigates each and every report.”

“The initiative comes amid increasing interest from lawmakers and the public following the release of classified files from the Defense Intelligence Agency which revealed the funding of projects that investigated UFOs, wormholes, alternate dimensions and other obscure topics…”

Hmmm.

“That research, first reported by The New York Times in 2017, was funded by the Department of Defense under its Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) and reportedly spent $25 million conducting studies and trying to evaluate multiple unexplained events.”

“Chris Mellon, a former Pentagon intelligence official and ex-staffer on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told Politico that establishing a more structured, official means of reporting what the military now calls ‘unexplained aerial phenomena’ (UAP), rather than ‘unidentified flying objects,’ would be a ‘sea change’ (a profound or notable transformation).”

“Right now, we have a situation in which UFOs and UAPs are treated as anomalies to be ignored rather than anomalies to be explored,” he added.

Christopher Wilson of Yahoo News adds that, “The Navy has updated its guidelines for pilots to report unidentified flying objects, the New York Times reported, following a series of mysterious sightings off the East Coast.”

“The Navy pilots [involved with these sightings] will be part of a new History Channel series, ‘Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation.’”

“The newspaper says pilots based on the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt saw the objects — some of which they described as spinning like tops and reaching 30,000 feet — during the summer of 2014 through March 2015 in training exercises off the Atlantic coast from Virginia to Florida. In 2014, an F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot reported nearly colliding with one [a UFO]. Two pilots were quoted by name in the story. They said they began to see the objects after receiving upgraded radar systems.”

‘“People have seen strange stuff in military aircraft for decades,’ Lt. Ryan Graves said. ‘We’re doing this very complex mission, to go from 30,000 feet, diving down. It would be a pretty big deal to have something up there.’”

Ya…, I’d say so.
