Mysteries intrigue the human mind. Things you don’t understand or can’t see. Mysteries draw you in, books, TV shows, real-life, even lingerie. You want to see, to understand.
I don’t mean stupid mysteries like algebra. I mean scientific stuff. Our country has just gone through a messy pandemic year full of scary scientific mysteries that government folks were afraid to admit they really didn’t understand (or, that they did, and why).
So, they pretended to understand this new mysterious virus and what to do about it. We were afraid, so fell for their charade of dictums–two weeks to flatten the curve. Then, maybe two months. Job-crushing, savings-draining lockdowns. Masks for everyone everywhere. Perhaps two of them. Other hokum.
As a result, now and for some future time, millions of us newly-trained cynics from the University of Covid will dismiss all kinds of government warnings. They may indeed prove accurate ultimately, but no one wants to be a sucker in this age of information and misinformation. So, they’ll be dismissed out of hand.
Now, we come to one mystery that has endured for decades. But wait. We may finally be on the verge of solving at least part of it.
Flying saucers. Unidentified Flying Objects. Or in Pentagon vernacular, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.
Over the years thousands have claimed to see UFOs, weird objects, or lights in the sky that appeared to do things our minds can’t explain or grasp. Many such reports proved fraudulent, the product of vivid imaginations, light phenomenon, even too much Budweiser.
Incidents were catalogued and closed away in a secretive Pentagon, sparking conspiracy theories, as our Townhall Media colleague Jazz Shaw has written at HotAir. A couple of years ago two convincing Navy videos were leaked by experts then confirmed as genuine. Watch them here.
Caught by sophisticated gun cameras and radars near military equipment off both coasts, they show lighted objects moving and maneuvering at high speeds. They have no apparent engines, control surfaces, or cockpits. In one case the object plunges into the ocean at high speed, emerging elsewhere.
Two highly-trained Super Hornet pilots told of approaching the object, which maneuvered around them and then, poof, disappeared. Activate cloaking device?
Last December, while everyone’s mind was consumed by media’s panic porn of the virus from China and election results Donald Trump’s camp found non-credible, Florida’s Marco Rubio, then chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, inserted in the Covid relief bill a requirement for the Pentagon and intelligence community to finally draft an unclassified report detailing what is known and unknown about UFOs.
That report is due next month. There seem to be three possibilities:
These objects are either super-secret U.S. technology, foreign technology far beyond anything known to our government, or an unexplained, potentially alien presence. What’s not secret are the obvious national security implications that not even Will Smith could handle.
Gallup has done some polling about UFOs. It found, believe it or not, real bipartisan agreement: 30 percent of Republicans and 32 percent of Democrats agree these craft are alien from another planet or galaxy. Independents were even more convinced (38 percent). I’m kinda drifting in that direction too, to be honest.
A clear majority (60 percent) still believe there’s some other explanation for UFOs, probably human-related. Seven percent don’t know anything, like Adam Schiff.
However, many more Americans say they do believe there is life beyond Washington. No, I mean that there is life elsewhere in the universe. Three-quarters say there is “life of some form” somewhere. Nearly half (49 percent) think there are “people like ourselves” living on other planets.
Can you imagine one of NASA’s amazing planetary rovers transmitting images back to Earth? Scientists call them up on desktop screens. And there, from the farthest frozen reaches of space staring back into the lens, all grins, is an alien photobomber.
Ever tried taking pictures of flying things with your cellphone?
A fuzzy blob is a pretty good result.
Same for gun cameras. They don’t produce high quality photos, either.
The last space shuttle mission was ten years ago in 2011.Now let me ask anybody here. Do you honestly think the US would abandon a program if we already didn’t have the technology of another mode of space flight. Now that doesn’t account for UFO sighting from decades ago, but I remember about something said by the head of our skunkworks a few years back. Basicly he said “ if you can think, we have already done it” that “we are a hundred years beyond what you see now”. Maybe they are ours, one day we will know.
No , if you watched any of the Ancient Alien shows they say UFOs have been crashing all over the planet so I think they would be too stupid to get here in the first place
*************
LOL! They can traverse the universe with ease but have trouble flying here on earth. Makes no sense whatsoever.
They both do. Huh. Maybe they are still working on that emotionally stable part.
Secret Nazi technology? LOL! I call BS!
Considering who was in charge at the time? You bet your obama the US would do something that stupid.
“UFOs have been crashing all over the planet”
Drunk aliens?
;)
UFO’s don’t like to be photographed. They always stay well beyond the range of a perfectly focused picture. ;)
GoPro cameras are pretty cheap and self stabilizing.
*************
Not if the military buys them. Prolly 10X the price.
The interesting thing is the language change from UFO to UAP. They changed it from nuts and bolts to high strangeness here. I think the government will crawfish on this.
“UFO’s are OUR technology.”
You really want to believe that don’t you?
But how is the Pentagon to comply with Sen. Rubio’s amendment calling for a non-classified report if the so-called UFO’s are really some sort of drone aircraft?
***********
Delays, stonewalling, obfuscation, redactions, and out right misdirection. The Pentagon, and all federal agencies, are good at avoiding things they don’t want to do or reveal.
I take the opposite view. At no time in history has a nation with superior technology failed to use it to dominate others. Any nation that has this technology would use it.
Maybe the crashes are intentional, so the EBE’s can observe what we humanoids do with the recovered technology.
**************
Yep, observing us is going to teach these advanced aliens a lot. If they are aliens they must be laughing their asses off at the mess here on earth. Can you imagine the situation reports they would be sending to their superiors back in Zeta Reticuli?
They use the same technology Bigfoot uses !
Skunkworks has never produced an aircraft that was 50-years beyond current tech much less 100-years. He was - get this - BSing, engaging in rhetorical hyperbole.
The technology exhibited by whatever these things are represents technological advancements worthy of several Nobel Prizes.
Can you think of any other aircraft that won a Nobel Prize? Yeah, me neither. Like most technology, aircraft improve incrementally and sometimes generationally, like the F-22 was with its low observable design, thrust vectoring and supercruise supersonic flight mode. Those were all significant improvements upon the previous generation fighter.
But, when an aircraft can descend 80K feet in seconds, hover for an hour or more, accelerate to Mach 7 in the literal blink of an eye and operate both in the air and below the water, that’s not a generational leap forward as we saw with the development of the F-22. Instead, that’s a multi-generational leap forward the likes of which has never been seen in any technological field.
Earth is the mother ship.
>It makes the most sense.
At no time in history has a nation with superior technology failed to use it to dominate others. Any nation that has this technology would use it.

What about bioweapon technology then? Imagine what has been developed, not just here but in several other countries with the capability to produce such things. What could have been released wasn’t. I get what you’re saying in a limited sense but its not convincing as a broader assumption.
