2 Navy Airmen and an Object That ‘Accelerated Like Nothing I’ve Ever Seen’--UFO
New York Times ^ | 12-16-2017 | HELENE COOPER, LESLIE KEAN and RALPH BLUMENTHAL

The following recounts an incident in 2004 that advocates of research into U.F.O.s have said is the kind of event worthy of more investigation, and that was studied by a Pentagon program that investigated U.F.O.s. Experts caution that earthly explanations often exist for such incidents, and that not knowing the explanation does not mean that the event has interstellar origins.

Cmdr. David Fravor and Lt. Cmdr. Jim Slaight were on a routine training mission 100 miles out into the Pacific when the radio in each of their F/A-18F Super Hornets crackled: An operations officer aboard the U.S.S. Princeton, a Navy cruiser, wanted to know if they were carrying weapons.

None of mine were saucers except perhaps the last one. I wasn’t able to determine with any certainity the shape of the object. There appear to be variations.

Okay, here’s a serious question for you gentlemen.

UFO is seen visually. UFO is seen on radar.

It clearly has no objection to being seen.

So, why does it bother flying away?

I once asked a spook in his cups if UFOs are real. He said yes, and they’re ours.

My Dad, a WWII pilot in the Pacific, told us he had seen strange and fast lights, and called them UFOs.

I'm not a pilot, but have had white lights shifting mysteriously on interior surfaces while driving my van. The lights would disappear just as mysteriously. They would suddenly appear when traffic got heavy, and I'd put my left hand on the steering wheel. ??? I was wearing a quality wristwatch, and the "lights" were produced by bright sunlight reflecting off the precision cuts around the watch's bezel.

Maybe some here have experienced this, and can name the watch? ;)

I have had two contacts in my life. One when I was a child of 5 or 6. The other as a young man. My father worked for the NACA, now NASA. I think there is a connection,

Cool.

I knew a guy in Arizona who would see what he called “arrowhead” shaped objects. They turned out to be stealth aircraft. He saw other UFO’s that he had no idea about.

Usually, flying saucer (and cups and plates) occur after the honeymoon is over. 😜

As have I. Never believed in that sort of thing until I saw 2 myself. I live near Stephenville, TX & did not see the UFOs that made the news, but did see several 6 months later.

When I worked for NASA, I saw interesting things on the Space Shuttle downlink. I’ll just leave it at that.

A brilliant scene, Dialog, blocking, pacing, framing. Superb.

So, why does it bother flying away?

Why does a bird in your front yard fly away if you walk towards it ?

IMHO, these UFO's are not craft with intelligent life in them, the UFO's are the intelligent life.

We have life that lives underground. We have life that lives deep in the ocean where it's dark and cold. We have life on the surface. We have life in the air. We have life living in places we used to think impossible.

Why would we not have life living in the upper atmosphere and the edge of 'space' ?

They are called demons. It’s no big deal. They manifest themselves in different ways appropriate to take the human mind off of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I saw mine while on close-in sentry duty when I was in the Air Force back in the late 70’s. It was in Oklahoma and about 2 or 3 in the morning. It was clearly shield-shaped with a flat underside and had a dull but constant, reddish glow. I watched it move slowly across the sky from east to west, shield point forward, without a sound until it disappeared. It looked to be about the altitude of a commercial airliner but I couldn’t gauge the size at all.

I kept rubbing my eyes thinking I was just tired or seeing things, but it was still there. After it was gone, I called the tower and asked if they’d seen anything strange and they said they had not. I remember it all like it was yesterday.
