As a US Navy fighter pilot, I witnessed unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Congress must reveal the truth to the American people
The Hill ^ | 2/5/2023 | Ryan Graves

As a former U.S. Navy F/A-18 fighter pilot who witnessed unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) on a regular basis, let me be clear. The U.S. government, former presidents, members of Congress of both political parties and directors of national intelligence are trying to tell the American public the same uncomfortable truth I shared: Objects demonstrating extreme capabilities routinely fly over our military facilities and training ranges. We don’t know what they are, and we are unable to mitigate their presence.

*snip*

Mysteriously, no UAP reports have been confirmed to be foreign so far. However, just this past week, a Chinese surveillance balloon shut down air traffic across the United States. How are we supposed to make sense of hundreds of reports of UAP that violate restricted airspace uncontested and interfere with both civilian and military pilots?

Here is the hard truth. We don’t know. UAP are a national security problem, and we urgently need more data.

*snip*

Last May, the House Intelligence Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation Subcommittee held the first UAP hearing in over 50 years. Intelligence officials testified that there were more than 400 reports of UAP, often tracked simultaneously by trained observers and multiple sensor systems, demonstrating technology that our military does not understand. Congress was briefed that incidents exist where there is sufficient data from pilots and sensors, but the case defies conventional explanation. The hearing marked a pivotal step forward to bring the topic of UAP out of the shadows and give it the urgent attention it deserves as a matter of national security.

The Navy deploys a special team specifically for UAPs: SNOOPIE (ships nautical or otherwise photographic interpretation and examination). They can say these teams were created for other reasons, but they appear to be purpose-formed just for collecting UAP intelligence.

Did He create fallen angels? Did He create demons? Did He warn us of this:
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Eph 6:12)
Perhaps you are dwelling in Pollyanna's playhouse instead of reality.

If you were to look into this subject objectively, you might see that things are, well, getting complicated to say the least. And that your view of reality is missing some major developments.

BTW, ostriches think their view of reality is accurate. If they didn't, they would change their strategy, wouldn't they?

Yep. That’s the scuttlebutt I hear coming out of the Navy.

I believe a civilization living beneath the surface is more plausible than extraterrestrial, but that’s just my theory.

What do you think the flood was for?
40 days (probably figurative and symbolic) should be enough to raise or alter water table in the geology of typically arid locations.
Who were the nephilim? Who were the wicked ones? Or the watchers?

Where are the other reports if so.

There's no reason for them to share what they know especially if these are advanced craft with technology unknown to us.

Image the shift in the balance of military power if Russia or China got it figured out.

There are also thousands of reports from military bases all over Mexico, Central and South America - I don’t have any links.

Freepers vs military jet pilots? Who is better trained at identifying anomalous things floating around in the sky?


Freepers obviously.

As for the ‘I gotta see one to believe it’ and ‘where are the clear photographs’ crowds - none of them would believe even if they are given a guided tour of a craft by a real ‘alien’.

“Has to be China”

These UAPs were seen long before China was ever a player.

Or on the ocean floor. Possibly a giant squid civilization that is much older and more advanced than ours.


Which one?

In many decades of UAP sightings, there has never been any indication of intent to harm. It may or may not be there, but so far we’ve never seen any harm from sightings.

Scares? Yes. Harm....no.

Until that happens, I see no reason for concern.

I believe they are from another dimension (a spiritual one) that can become visible in the dimensions we live in.

They cannot be physical devices for they exceed the laws of physics.

Aliens? An Alien visited our planet 2,000 years ago. His life and character were not of this world. He too defied physics. He was rejected and killed. But He returned in a resurrected body that cannot be killed again. He lives.....and is the Creator and Ruler of our universe......

And He is coming back. To claim what is rightfully His, as He created it.

So I guess all the photos of fighter jets with the vapor cloud explosion around them when they hit super Sonic are all photoshopped!!

Nah, they were all taken with a handheld cell phone cameras ...

Yep we now know all the laws of physics - just a few small details need to be filled in, scientific consensus in the 1950s.

Human hubris knows no bounds

I often point out that “science” (true science) is every day proving itself wrong. That’s the very nature of science - discovering new things that prove its past beliefs were incorrect.

Hubris indeed.

That being said, there are some things that have, as of yet, never been shown to be incorrect.

“If you reveal classified military information that is not well understood...”

Is it classified because to reveal it would harm the country? Or because it would harm the careers of someone in the military or government?

With over 20 years as a Navy Pilot (P-3C Orions and T-45 A/C), I have never seen a UFO. I spent large amounts of time over the dark oceans at night piddling around and have never seen a thing that I would describe as strange.

Take the blinders off and there’s evidence everywhere but like evidence in political scandals there can be tons of it and some people just continue to deny.

I’m thinking in the infinity that is the universe it’s hard to believe it’s just earth that has life on it but then again there’s folks that believe the earth is still flat.

And we get such a better view of what’s going on from the chair we haven’t changed in years.
