First, the national security implications of getting to the bottom of these incidents are beyond obvious. In addition to posing a serious collision risk, determining the nature of the objects whether benign, easily-explainable phenomena or potentially threatening is of critical importance. Indeed, by some accounts, such incidents are occurring with increased frequency.
Moreover, advanced, physics-challenging technology would be the Holy Grail for any nation. Given the anti-democratic and authoritarian inclinations of some major world powers, it is imperative that such capabilities fall into the right (i.e., democratic) hands.
Among other possibilities, a civilian-led quick reaction force could be established to rapidly assess such incidents, some of which occurred over several days. Second, without venturing into the debate about the causes of global warming, there can be no doubt that earths climate is undergoing tremendous change. The Midwest witnessed multiple 500-year floods in the span of a few years; powerful hurricanes fueled by warmer waters have battered the eastern seaboard; unprecedented wildfires have devastated the West Coast. Businesses expect to lose $1 trillion due to climate change in coming years, of which the last five were the hottest ever recorded.
With researchers examining how clouds can be manipulated to combat climate change, the remote possibility of acquiring technology that allows for indefinite flight time at extreme speeds deserves particularly close scrutiny.
Third, CDR Fravor argues that if he and the Navys sophisticated sensors observed the same phenomenon, there is a good chance that the technology he witnessed could move effortlessly through water, air and space at extraordinary speeds. In the event that such capability exists, mere knowledge thereof should prompt a fundamental shift away from humanitys baser priorities in favor of loftier, nobler objectives.
