UFOs are supposed to be the stuff of conspiracy theories and fringe documentaries. And yet many high-ranking government officials believe some of the most explosive claims about UFOs to be true. How would this potential reality affect the conservative worldview?
On December 13, 2023 Majority Leader Chuck Schumer took to the Senate floor to deliver remarks which can only be described as incredible. He was speaking about his amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Remarkably, the subject of this amendment was not Ukraine or China, nor Russia or Iran, but rather UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, or what used to be called UFOs). Schumer lamented that
The United States government has gathered a great deal of information about UAPs over many decades but has refused to share it with the American people. That is wrong and additionally breeds mistrust. We have also been notified by multiple credible sources that information on UAPs has also been withheld from Congress, which, if true, is a violation of laws requiring full notification to the legislative branch.
These claims—that the executive branch of the government has gathered a “great deal of information” about UAP over “decades” but has refused to share it with the public and has even violated the law by withholding information from congress—are quite simply extraordinary.

There is a lot of history in art! And I like history! :)
Nope, I’m not ignorant.
Well said, thank you. :)
I am not discounting staged illusions... as a cover for actual technologies.
I am also not discounting manifestaions from the Sawtan either. Everything is on the table. Time bending, other dimensions, space folding, extraterrestrial... it’s all very interesting - even Buzz Aldrin’s accounts of the moon landing and “what was really up there” and/or... including the possibility that people are just strange.
“Anyone who has come to Earth from another habitual world has come from distances that are light years away. Unless they have learned to go at warp speed, it is impossible for any life-form to have crossed the time barrier.”
Except you are thinking in 2D based on OUR limited knowledge of physics as we understand them. There are at least four dimensions and maybe more. And a lot we do not know yet about physics. But we are getting there, we have proven that quantum entanglement is real and CAN defy both space and time.
Give us another 100 years and we will be traveling in star trek transporters. In fact on a small scale we have successfully transported particles already. So hyperjumping from one location in the universe to another almost instantly is not beyond possible. These craft are witnessed to enter and exit inter-dimensional/time space portals all the time.
Cherry picked?
It’s the first thing on the link.
First thing you read on the page.
Well I for one absolutely respect your method. It doesn’t matter what you do or do not believe and that is your right, at least you are objective without automatic predetermined firewalls of ignorance. Not putting ourselves in a box opens up opportunity for discovering possibilities. Every innovation we have came from someone who did not close their own mind up in a box. Or allow anyone to ridicule them for thinking outside the box.
Human flight was a ridiculous and impossible concept until someone thought outside the box and made it possible. “But what if it were possible, how would it be done?” hypothetical thinking is the only intelligent path to new discoveries. Limiting possibilities with solid mental firewalls is the 12th century method of thinking. We are not in the 12th century anymore, and impossibilities are become possible everyday because of intelligent objectivity.
Let me guess, you stopped right there and didn’t go any further right? You already had a predetermined firewall of 12th century biased ignorance against the concept before you even looked at it. Once again the depictions and concept are historical and not new.
I wish more Freepers would.
Lots of big assumptions. First, they have NO idea what the UFO’s are, hence the letter U. First find that out, then go from there.
“Galileo had scientific evidence. The Church had fake data.“
Galileo couldn’t scientifically prove what he claimed was fact. He could have done all the claiming he wanted if he put it in his own book. THAT was the problem the church had with him. There were three different theories people were arguing at the time. Plenty of people who were arguing the various theories were clerics. It was the church itself that gave Galileo the forum to argue the very thing he argued. They KNEW what he wanted to argue. He went ahead and asserted his idea as fact in a book printed under the imprimatur of the Catholic Church while being unable to PROVE IT. To put the cherry on the parfait the three part literary technique he used in his argument obviously cast the Pope himself as “the fool”.
Galileo has always seemed to me to be a guy who had a good solid asskicking coming. The left love him though for his usefulness in casting the church as “anti science”.
I’m a believer since we can’t be the only ones in the known universe let alone whatever else exist outside of that universe.
We’ve sent probes to other planets, we’ve crashed probes on other planets, we have rovers on Mars and a Helo flying and we have a probe that just exited our solar system so why can’t some other intelligent life form be doing the same?
As for the demon theory I’d take another look... The demons are the left that are invading every aspect of life. Maybe these EY’s might be looking to help.
“There’s a big difference between ‘true believer’ and ‘agnostic’”
In the case of the true believer, I think much of it is just life imitating ‘art’. They want to believe it and more than anything else, they want to be right.
“I read UFO books when I was young.”
I read Frank Edwards, Vallée, John Fuller, and Adamski.
Yes there may be many people in the country who don’t believe in demons or the devil. As for “Christians” who don’t believe in the existence of demons or the Devil, I doubt extremely that they are Christians!
The same way they should respond to everything: as truth seekers, accepting truth wherever it presents itself.
UFOs are as real as bigfoot. Ignore this nonsense unless one of them is captured or appears on TV.
And call out BS when you see it?
No, can't trust that either. TV is the front lines of deception.
