Do You Believe in UFOs? An Actual Answer May Be Near
Red State ^ | 05/24,2021 | Andrew Malcolm

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.

A fourth, and most likely option is missing. Most are likely sensor errors. The so-called videos of these "objects" are not optical videos. The images are not pictures, they're blobs on a screen.

Radar reflections are meaningless by themselves. It takes significant mathematical processing to take the data from a reflected radar image to get to an image on a video screen. That processing isn't perfect. These images clearly show Unidentified Objects. Flying? I doubt it.

When did we begin seeing lots of UFOs? Answer: Just after WWII.

There have been drawing on caves wall of what appears to be UFOs. It's all documented, people have been seeing them long before WWII.

Once you weigh nothing...gravitational force equivalents mean nothing, making observed super high G turns easy. Currently available paint-on LCD technologies disguise these craft as background or any shape desired.

We don’t need no aliens for these techs.

Get ready to see the elephant, however.

That’s pretty much the way I see it. This will elicit — at best — a non-answer answer from the bureaucracy.

They use the same technology Bigfoot uses !

Exactly. So there must be a connection we’ll soon hear about on the History Channel’s endless episodes.
TOO LATE. The church of Georgio already has multiple episodes with BigFoot and Squids starring as aliens, Inter-dimensionals or time travelers - all extraterrestrials and all ringing the cash register for the the Car Insurance Ads.

Our notions of self-government are purely an illusion.

The Deep State is firmly in charge. It does whatever it wants to do.

“UFO’s are OUR technology.”

Maybe. My guess is somebody (human or alien) is running a PsyOp. Like a deep fake. They found a way to project an image that shows up on radar and has a heat signature. They make the image do impossible maneuvers, or simply disappear. We are like cats trying to catch a dot from a laser pointer. They want to see our reaction, or use it as a distraction as they observe us.

I am quite sure it’s either just radar phantoms, our tech, or both. If someone was fooling around with us, our government wouldn’t admit being fooled.

My guess is a slightly different ‘take’ but related to yours. The most recent development in jet fighter design that is proliferating world wide is highly sensitive ASEA radars. My theory is that these radars are a tad “too good” in that they can see air vortexes and other non-physical anomalies. Most of these Radars can ‘slave’ an IR camera to bring up a magnified image of what the radar is pointed at. Only that thing ain’t real. But the Infrared Camera sees a temperature gradient where the vortex is.

Anyway the US has had a longer experience with these new radars than almost anybody else. So what if we are playing with our opponents heads making them think these anomalies are ‘real’ and we’ve also developed an electronic attack system that can recreate these anomalies for our enemies to see. That would be a create counter to assist a stealthy first-day strike by forcing these advance SAM batteries to chase ghosts.

Like you said... a cat chasing a laser pointer.

We have established that there is “something there. It isn’t swamp gas, Venus, geese, or a Mylar balloon.

Within the confines of the observed phenomena, there are a few things it could be...

1. Our secret stuff - from a family member’s heavy hints, I am pretty certain we have “aircraft” that is far more advanced than the public knows. I am pretty sure the large, slow moving triangular UFOs are ours. But just because SOME of them are ours, doesn’t mean ALL of them are ours.

2. Someone else’s secret stuff - The list is long and weird in this category - Russians, Chinese, Wakanda (just kidding), Nazis in Antarctica, another sentient species that lives in the ocean...

3. Interdimensional “things” - there are some compelling reasons to think that portals open between dimensions and stuff comes through

4. Time Travelers - it could be us in the future coming back to check or correct the historical record.

5. Extraterrestrials - actually my least favored possibility. Too many barriers to traveling long distances.

6. Something entirely different - it could be something that we can not comprehend.

Anyway, the government is not going to tell us the truth, no matter what the source.

Bread and circuses, there will not be any earth shattering revelation other than what has already been reported before. In other words, nothing.........LOL!

I think the “large, slow moving triangular UFOs” might be ours also.

Everything else that defies explanation is demons playing with us, trying to get us to believe that alien civilations exist with different gods.

But I do agree that a separate but related species living under the sea has to be entertained. Lots of navy experience with “crafts” diving into the surf. I hope more of these incidents are disclosed next month.

But then, those could be demon-biological mixes or just demons.

Most of those are not visual, they are infrared, and are filmed from a long distance away.

I’ll believe in this stuff when one of them lands on the White House lawn and takes the occupant and his staff, and half the government bureaucracy... and most of Congress just for the hell of it, BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

Then I’ll believe.

I wouldn’t be surprised to someday find out that this is what inspired the development of whatever technology we’re seeing.
