Trump Says He’s Not a UFO Believer But “Anything’s Possible”

Trump Says He’s Not a UFO Believer But “Anything’s Possible” Paul Seaburn July 6, 2019

“I’m not a believer, but you know, I guess anything is possible.” If you’ve been curious about what President Trump thinks about UFO’s, in an interview with Tucker Carlson from the Fox News Channel, which took place while the president was in South Korea recently, he revealed that he’s “not a believer” in unidentified flying objects. If you’re curious about what he thinks in particular about the UFOs that Navy pilots have been reporting and which have been recorded on radar, he had this to say:

“Well, I don’t want to really get into it too much. But personally, I tend to doubt it.” That answer comes after the president was briefed on those sightings by the Pentagon, Navy officials and staff from the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. Sen. Mark Warner, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, other members of Congress and their staffers of the Armed Service and Defense Appropriations committees were also briefed. Is the president saying he doubts that they are unidentified or he doubts that they are alien?

“I mean, you have people that swear by it, right? And pilots have come in and they said — and these are pilots that have — not pilots that are into that particular world, but we have had people saying that they’ve seen things.” “That particular world.” Is the president implying that people who believe in, research or are at least open to the possibility of UFOs existing are in some way different than others? Does this make them somehow less believable? Carlson didn’t ask the president about the UFOs that have been seen in his own airspace. UFOs were seen following his plane during his campaign and twice on the day of his inauguration. Four were reported over the Trump Turnberry golf course in Scotland in 2018. One would think that the president would have been notified – either in his capacity as commander-in-chief or as the owner of the course. Wouldn’t he have wanted to know?

Here’s a better question … would he have believed the report, especially if it had come from someone ‘in that particular world’? He seemed to answer this question when Carlson pressed him about a report that the U.S. is in possession of UFO wreckage at a facility on an Air Force Base – which has been rumored for decades about multiple crashes and multiple bases.

“I don’t assume it’s correct. But, I have an open mind, Tucker.” So, even if it’s a person who will “swear by it,” even if it’s evidence that warrants briefings by high-ranking military officials to high-ranking government officials all the way up to the president himself, he still doesn’t assume it’s correct?

The president has given similar answers to two different news channels on opposite ends of the political spectrum but possibly similar ends of the UFO one. It would be easy to assume he’s being evasive for national security reasons … except he’s ignored those reasons for other questions.

Is it too late?

The Navy pilots have identified themselves and risked their careers to report what they saw. These are members of the military honored on the Fourth of July … and are now “‘in that particular world.” Can we still keep saying there are two of these worlds?

I’m not really into this stuff I got over it a long time ago, but I have a friend who really is and he bombards me with UFO stuff.

Anyway I don’t think they would or do brief the president over this stuff no matter who it is, and if they do the president realizes what a disaster it would be for whatever reasons to release it publicly so they don’t. I’ve heard it said that Jimmy Carter was one of the few who asked and was briefed on the subject, and he had an extreme reaction and was seen later crying/contemplating at his desk afterward, perhaps because of his religious beliefs.

Anyway who knows

“If you’ve been curious about what President Trump thinks about UFO’s [sic]”

Nope. Not one bit.

I was at a private dinner with Donald Rumsfeld 12 years ago and we had a very interesting and pleasant side conversation. He evaded the question of UFO’s when brought that up in our conversation. My brother was also present and I gave him a summary of our UFO conversation. My brother said that I got my answer.

Rumsfeld did not consider me a nutcase (he got the question about UFO’s frequently). He and is wife invited me to join them for dinner in Washington D.C.

Here is a photo I took of my buddy being abducted. He was released later on and mentioned being probed but would not go into detail.....

“....who want to believe without real evidence.”

I giggle about this thing about evidence. For that I have two questions: 1. If you were driving into a town that is violently killing each other, would you hold still to be seen easily? And if our visitors are smart enough to get here, they are probably smart enough to know not to get into it. And 2. With all the millions of planets and solar systems in the many universes we live near, do you really think we are the only place with some type of life, intelligent or otherwise? And I’m not sure we qualify for the first one possibility.

Thanks fieldmarshaldj. Great, now I've got that Monkees tune (Neil Diamond, songwriter) running through my mind. I'm trying to drown it out with Bach's Goldberg Variations.

I never really get into this because it is hard to prove, and a waste of time. Although I finally decided to take another look at it. Probably the first time in over 20 years.

Anyway, I watched two documentaries about it.

First was, “Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers”.

It was interesting, but put me asleep towards the end.

The second was “Unacknowledged” which is actually pretty good. This even though some Leftist are in the film and I had to briefly listen to talk about UFOs. The last 30 minutes puts a nice bow on it.

Ford and Billy Jeff also requested to be briefed. Apparently Billy Jeff got stonewalled on Majestic 12 information.

and a camera on every device and full-motion video as wel

Yep. When these phones cane out I said “We’re going to find out what there is to ghosts and UFOs”. Both now debunked now as far as I’m concerned.

Trump...or any president for that matter...would be privy to any and all intel regarding UFO’s. The only possible hitch would be if the agencies in possession of the info would hide it.

The Nephillim of Gen chapter 6.

If anyone has any extra cash to burn in their pockets I highly recommend Ailen Encounters by Dr. Chuck Missler and Dr. Mark Eastman as well as the Judgment of Nepillim by Ryan Pitterson

...Belief can exist without proof; but it must emphatically avoid proof to remain belief....

“...Belief can exist without proof; but it must emphatically avoid proof to remain belief....”

Maybe, but belief is based upon education level and provision of examples until the example is allowed to existence. (Saul Alinsky) If something is said enough in the public domain, it becomes fact because people don’t care unless it effects them. So if I tell you I saw something that is against the grain of people with an agenda, they will attack the messenger after they can’t disprove the fact I saw it. So direct proof itself is based upon the perception of what is talked about, not what I saw.

A perfect example are the groups coming out now trying to disclaim the holocaust. There are names, documents, displays, pictures, knowledgeable relatives....more than enough evidence to proof it’s existence. But some are trying to gain traction in the media, all who weren’t even born when it happened, to verbally, only, with far outgunned proof, to say it didn’t happen. But that’s the chance you take when you erase logic, to include proof, and substitute it with antipathy of the messenger and not disproof of the occurrence. Perception is a two sided sword with one side sharper than the other. And that depends on who is sharpening it, not the sword.

Well, at least no mention of President Trump being a Daydream Believer who’s about to take the Last Train to Clarksville.

Thank you for proving that “...Belief can exist without proof; but it must emphatically avoid proof to remain belief....”
