A long, long time ago a retired USAF officer who had a lot of flying hours told me ‘There are phenomenon we do not understand.’ I think that is the best rendering on UFO’s and many other events sensible, credible people report. This drives the scientific community literally crazy as it upends many of their basic assumptions about the universe,matter, and the functioning of systems. That fuels the rage many scientists react to these reports.

This stuff has completely escaped the scrutiny of the scientific community because it has been labeled "off limits" by the military...whether there is any "there, there" from a scientific perspective or not.

I would gather that is about to change.

Furthermore, I would think this would now give the commercial airline industry (and air traffic control) an opening to keep records of such sightings so they may be forwarded to the Navy (or other authority) for consolidation with official military reports.

I have spoken with pilots through the years (military and commercial) and most of them have seen unidentified things of interest. There are probably plenty of Freeper pilots and family members of such who have stories to tell.

‘There are phenomenon we do not understand.’

Back when the government was still a bit open on these things, I remember Maj. Gen. John A. Samford's Statement on "Flying Saucers", Pentagon, Washington, DC, 07/31/1952 saying "credible observers of relatively incredible things" at 1:50).

Here's some other statements Don't be put off by the site's name.
