A recent news item involving UFOs has caught the public’s attention. A Navy pilot’s gun camera shows an unknown aerial object above the ocean near San Diego. It was performing aerial maneuvers not known to be possible by any U.S. technology. The pilot’s description of the object included the sensational phrase, "I can tell you, I think it was not from this world."
The government’s interest in this sort of sighting is that there may be a national defense issue involved. If the reported objects are from a potentially hostile nation, let’s say China or Russia, then of course they are possibly involved in reconnaissance or other activity that endangers our national security. If the phenomenon emanates from a smaller country, say Luxembourg, the scientific benefits are potentially enormous. If they emanate from Iran or North Korea, we are in grave military peril.
However, that scenario seems unlikely. Any nation that possesses such advanced technology would already be in a position to extort vast concessions from the United States and other nations.

There is one further impediment to making any sense of UFO reports, which is that there seems to be a set of logical contradictions to any theory of what UFOs might actually represent. The main logical fallacy is that observed UFO behaviors, if accurately reported, seem to be irrational. On the one hand, UFOs act as if they wish to avoid being seen -- while on the other hand, they do get seen, despite having technology that should put our most advanced stealth techniques to shame. These two mutually exclusive aspects are difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile.

Q.
Why is the US government funding UFO research?
A. Coz UFO`s need the money.
Andy Griffith did something like that in Salvage 1.
Once upon a time, a junkman had a dream.
Controlling any potential message is more important than existence. The best way to do that is complete secrecy, elite grant supported scientists at point, and to create a wink and not back channel plausible deniability of what may or may not be. Flood it with disinformation and it will self sustain for a hundred years.
Another way to look at it is that ETs are mocking our science and our governments—many of the well documented multi-witness sitings are just plain ridiculous—they look like the Meier fakes—the old metal ash can covers.
Given what we have seen of our scientists and world governments in the modern era, ridicule seems like a valid approach!
In all honesty, to keep the public under control. It’s the old chicken little story. If the government is expected to come up with an answer for all the sightings that have been reported, then they can say what they want and it satisfies about 95% of the public, and it is forgotten. No one panics and runs through the streets screaming invasion because uncle sugar already had an answer.
Course the answer is BS but that’s all the public wants. They don’t care if it is the truth. An example is a vast majority of the liberal manure they have printed over the last 100 years. They’re as happy as a pig in slop with the lies, even though they can figure out they are lies. They’re just too fat and sassy to care as long as it doesn’t bite them on the keyster.

Hopeless ...
UFO stuff is looney tunes.

Water droplets on the visor have a hypnotic effect.
Anyone else here remember an Air Force program called Project Blue Book? That was a program to study UFOs. That was back in the 60s or early 70s, I believe.
Point is, the government studying UFOs is nothing new.
Project Blue Book was a disinformation scam from day one.

It definitely appears that way until you dig a little deeper. "Funding UFO Research" doesn't necessarily mean that they are searching for extraterrestials, but consider that if you're a NORAD Commander and you get an incoming "blip" you must respond. If the interceptor sees something strange then the military wants to know if it is some new type of russian or chicom supercraft, particularly if it performs in a manner contrary to typical aircraft.
. . . that they want one of those.
A very creative point...but I suspect you are right.
Give it up, finnie. You need to re-calibrate your assessment of reality.:-)
All that said, I had Jamesons and Eggnog on Christmas Eve...Not Scotch.
Now all we need to know is that your name is indeed finnegan and your heritage is indeed Irish.
Not so sure about you efinnegan.
You have been a nasty character here for a few years.
Thinkin' here that you might be a leprechaun, not an Irishman.
And now you want us to believe in your word.
What do you believe about UFO’s?
