Navy Pilots are Seeing UFOs. Are They from Russia, China, or Somewhere Beyond?

Let's talk about UFOs.

To be clear, your friend and humble narrator does not wear a tinfoil hat, nor does this reporter believe the U.S. government is competent enough to keep proof of alien life secret from the American public.

Yet a number of credible media outlets have reported that Navy pilots are increasingly reporting sightings of unidentified aircraft, and the service is taking them seriously for a change. Politico's Bryan Bender reported in April that the Navy was working on new guidelines for reporting such aircraft in the wake of increased sightings in military ranges and airspace.

[C]ould these strange aircraft actually be long-range Russian or Chinese unmanned surveillance aircraft?

Probably not, according to the Air Force.

"While there is a proliferation of UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] technology across the globe, we are not concerned that China or Russia have developed a long-range capability about which we are not aware," said Air Force spokesman Maj. Bryan Lewis.

Any drone that could fly from Russia or China to the United States' East Coast would have to be at least as large as an MQ-9 Reaper and the data link used to fly the aircraft would be detectable, said retired Air Force Maj. Gen. James Poss, who served as the service's former assistant deputy chief of staff for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.

I can tell you this, hand to God: it doesn't matter if it's angels, demons, little green men, Russian tech, swamp gas, atmospheric inversions, or a flock of geese. When I was at the Pentagon, I made the mistake - twice - of joking about it. In both cases, the friendly conversation stopped, and the other individual walked away in mid-sentence. Period. I was a ghost to them. Whatever it may be, we're aware of it, and have been for a while. And it obviously isn't spoken of outside of a secure area, even at the Pentagon. Let's just say that the demeanor of the other person turned, well, for lack of a better term, grim. There was almost a physical pall in the air. It creeped me out and part of me isn't sure I wanna know anymore.

‘Different’ is not the same as ‘indifferent’. I find your assumptions arrogant.

What I’m saying is that when presented
with a difficult situation, to jump to
“God will handle it,” is a copout.

[American in Israel]

Small stealth drones launched from container ships offshore...

[sparklite2]

Forgive me, but I’ve no interest
in reading your book.

[Jamestown1630]

Drones have taken all the fun out of UFO sightings...

In San Francisco, the “breakaway, rogue intelligence agencies” have an “alien base” where they are “literally communicating [with intergalactic beings] and they’ve got like astronaut-level people taking super hardcore levels of drugs and going into meetings with these things and making intergalactic deals,” Jones said.

[Hebrews 11:6]

There are many cultures which are especially receptive to demons, and they often attract missionaries, too. The USSR was well behind the West militarily, so officials and scientists deliberately cultivated demonic “help,” looking for an edge, with predictable results.

And you are deluding yourself if you believe Einstein’s ToR is the last discovery on time and space.

There is a world of facts...and a world of belief.

In the world of facts, you can say with some certainty that certain things exist or do not exist (and even then one can be wrong).

But the world of belief is quite a bit different. What a person believes may or may not be accurate. Things that exist are independent of one's belief.

The other day, I had a friend tell me that he doesn't believe in hell (or God for that matter).

I told him that it doesn't much matter what he believes. It he dies and finds out that there is indeed a God and a hell, he will not be able to use the excuse that he doesn't believe in them.

Hell either exists or it does not.

In other words, demons may exist (or not), but what you believe is irrelevant to their existence.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I’m not one of the authors, nor involved in any way.

[MHGinTN]

Have you not heard the spiel that aliens created mankind from the anthropoids they found here way back when?

[Salvavida]

Demons. And my coworkers at the Pentagon scoffed at my assertion. The Bible is right on time.

It was such an anomaly that started the Vietnam War... see Admiral Stockdale’s bio In Love and War.

So, in merely 300 years, we learned all there is to know about physics? I bet not.

You are making assumptions based upon what we currently know, not upon what we will know 300 years in the future.

Before you go on another bender, consider another Einstein quote: "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."

[Jamestown1630]

I have to make decisions as to what is relevant to MY existence. I’ve decided that hell and demons are not.

Should one believe in anything and everything presented, just to stay on the “safe” side? That would be a very confusing, unworkable, and remarkably silly way to live.

[GingisK]

You know that for a fact, of course.

” Isn’t your thinking a bit linear in concluding that space must be traveled as the crow flies? “

Crows can’t fly in space. Ha! See there, I run rings ‘round ya logically...

[GingisK]

And you know that for a fact, right?

[MHGinTN]

I’m in the process of finishing a book/novel of that Christian flavor, dealing with Aliens and Angels.
