I’m as much a Sci-Fi fan as most anyone. I’ve read my fair share of Orson Scott Card books, seen all the Men in Black movies, think it’s a travesty that Firefly got canceled, and have sat through every cringy second of every lame attempt to improve on the original Star Wars trilogy, but until the past few months, I’d never seriously considered even the remotest possibility that humans may not be alone, at least on this planet and in this solar system.
But here we are, and if anything should unite humanity in an era seemingly as divided as ever, it’s the desire for an answer to this burning question: What in the world (or out of it) is going on with these UFO sightings? Yep, you read that right, UFOs. As in Unidentified Flying Objects, a topic, granted, typically reserved for the realm of kooks and pranksters. But what’s been going on as of late is something entirely different, and if you’ve not been paying attention yet, I strongly suggest you start.
Last May, Fox News host Tucker Carlson interviewed former military intelligence official Luis Elizondo, a man whose background - working for the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and heading up the since-defunded Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program - puts him in a unique position to speak on the topic. Currently the Director of Global Security and Special Programs at the Stars Academy of Arts and Science and the host of the History Channel series “Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation,” the knowledgeable, well-spoken, decidedly non-kooky Elizondo lends an aura of serious credibility to a topic not often taken seriously enough.
Navy pilot Chad Underwood, another decidedly non-kooky individual, had remained mostly quiet about his own November 2004 UFO encounter until last year, mainly because he wanted to dodge being “attached to the ‘little green men’ crazies that are out there.”
"At no point did I want to speculate as to what I thought this thing was — or be associated with, you know, 'alien beings' and 'alien aircraft' and all that stuff," Underwood told New York Magazine, explaining why it took him so long to speak out. "It is just what we call a UFO. I couldn't identify it. It was flying. And it was an object. It's as simple as that."
The “UFO” Underwood and his commanding officer, David Fravor (if you have a couple of hours, his interview with Joe Rogan is absolutely fascinating), witnessed “represents one of three known instances in which Navy pilots caught an unknown aerial object (the Navy prefers that term over UFO) on camera,” Business Insider reported, the other two being in 2015.
"The thing that stood out to me the most was how erratic it was behaving," he said, describing the “Tic-Tac”-like object they encountered while flying the Navy’s Super Hornet fighters on combat exercises. "Its changes in altitude, airspeed, and aspect were just unlike things that I've ever encountered before flying against other air targets."
The unclassified DOD report surrounding the event stated that the object seemed to go from 60,000 feet to 50 feet over the water “within seconds,” had no heat or wings, and “possibly demonstrated the ability to 'cloak' or become invisible to the human eye" and could even have the capability to "operate undersea completely undetectable by our most advanced sensors."
Speaking of Underwood’s encounter and the others as well as his own research and experience working for the government, Elizondo told Tucker that the question is no longer whether or not UFOs exist.
“Is it possible these things are a foreign adversarial technology that somehow was developed in secret and we are just now trying to figure these things out?” he said. “It’s possible. But, there are also other possibilities as well, of what these things could be.”
When pressed, Elizondo assigned a “low probability” to the adversarial technology theory: “Look, we have the most sophisticated weapon systems right now on the face of the planet, and we can identify not only a 737 or a MIG 25 or F-22, we can tell you even what airline it is and the difference between the models of aircraft within that type of aircraft. So, I think it’s highly unlikely that a foreign adversary was successful in developing something like this.”
While the government has allowed some information about these encounters, including some grainy videos, to be declassified or remain unclassified, recent news suggests there is still much that remains hidden. In fact, the Navy recently admitted to possessing top-secret information about UFOs that, if released to the public, could cause “exceptionally grave damage to the National Security of the United States.” And if that doesn’t raise enough eyebrows, this reportedly includes at least one unreleased video that has been classified as “SECRET.”
At the end of his Fox News interview, Carlson asked Elizondo if he believed that the “U.S. government has in its possession any material from one of these aircraft?”
“I do. Yes,” he responded. “Unfortunately, I really have to be careful of my NDA. I really can’t go into a lot more detail than that … But simply put, yes.”
Elizondo’s “five observables” that differentiate UFO technology from known technology - instantaneous acceleration, hypersonic velocities, low observability, trans medium travel, and positive lift or anti-gravity - mean that, alien or not, we’re dealing with something that, if discovered, could potentially alter life as we know it in ways none of us can possibly imagine. All of which leads to, of course, far more questions than answers. But for the first time in any of our lives, the questions have reached a whole new level. No longer are we wondering whether or not UFOs with superior technology to anything we know exists, but rather, who - or what - is behind the wheel.
A yes, division, not center. I did lots of work with you guys.
Interstellar space? Who told you that?

The objects in motion/flying may use an internal gravitational field which causes light to be ‘jumbled’ such that the object does not have a distinct visual feed. But that doesn’t fully explain the on ground visuals which are sharper.
Might that have been stated by Arthur Clark?
Clarke is who I have always seen it attributed to.

Oops! I left the “e” off of his spelling. Sorry Art, didn’t mean to do that ...
Most Physicists would state that there are 10 or 11 dimensions, at least. I agree here in this "digital universe" called Earth there are probably 4 dimensions.
You're probably close on the guess to the age of the Earth. It's not 6,000 years old IMHO, billions is a good guess.
Here's where it gets interesting in the reading of Genesis 1:1-3 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light
A lot of Creationists believe there was a major time gap between verse 1 and verse 2, perhaps billions of years? That could go a long way in explaining a lot of the differences the big bangers & creationists.
I posited the question about Mars, because it's related to the UFO issue. I can't quite put it as eloquently as Chuck Missler did, so I post his article here: https://www.khouse.org/articles/2013/1099/ That Swift knew about those two moons of Mars before Hall did shows he dug up some ancient manuscripts somewhere as it must have been common knowledge back before Joshua's long day that Mars had two moons.
I bring up the craters question because IMHO there was a war in our Solar System and those craters are artillery from that war. Something is trying to hit something here it looks like. 
Nephilim are the 'sons of God' or angelic beings created by God that interbred with human women to create hybrids. They did it then, God killed them all with the flood. They did it after also (same words used in the verse), and Joshua was commanded to wipe them all out for the same reason. Which also means they are doing it now as well. Jesus referred to the End Days as the same types of days as Noah & Lot. Why? Could "aliens" be hybrids that manifest from time to time?
Satan had to have some type of power over space & time to be able to show Jesus all of the kingdoms of the world, present & future as they were on that mountain when he tempted Him. UFO's also seem to have a lot of control over space & time when they are filmed as they do incredible impossible feats. Satan is the Prince of the Power of the Air. Where do UFO's show up? (Ephesians 2:2 & Ephesians 6:12) Those verses read pretty ufoish.
I heard there’s this new ‘discovery’ coming down the pipe in the next decade or so that will cure all diseases and give us a 500 year guaranteed life! All you have to do is accept the chip implant and perform a vague ceremony!
Deception comes in many forms.
Miracles are a form of deception. Discovering a new race of extraterrestrials could easily deceive billions into a new false religion.
Why is the current False Prophet Pope even talking about baptizing aliens? Does he know something?
“All you have to do is accept the chip implant and perform a vague ceremony!”... and spend eternity in Hell. The purveyors of that technology are liars, be liars from the start. After one accepts the technology, the ‘blessing’ only lasts a few more years, then off to Hell when Jesus takes over rule on Earth.
The talking mule in Rome doesn’t know something as much as he has been fed lies he believes.
About 30% of the Bible is Prophetic. A lot of historians over the years have even accused the Book of Daniel as being a counterfeit written 100 years or so before Christ was born, since it’s accuracy is so detailed.
Not even Christians read it anymore (sad). Yes, Christ’s atonement for our sins is the main event, there are other sections that are just as important - to be used as a roadmap for Christians and Jews alike.
So back to ‘aliens’.
Why is it that “alien-abductions” are halted when the name of Jesus Christ or Jesus is mentioned by the abductee?
Google it if you don’t believe me. There are hundreds of testimonies.
He’s getting his playbook from somebody though.
Of course!
I just forgot my sarcasm tag.
Also the ionization of the craft’s skin tends to prevent sharp pics whenever the tech is operating.
I have been interested in this topic for a long time. I took my wife to a UFO convention in Laughlin a couple of years ago.
She is _very_ skeptical, so I made sure to let her meet several different folks who claimed they had been abducted.
They told their stories, and she was totally stunned. These folks had no axe to grind, were just telling the truth as best they knew it.
I always trust first-hand accounts, where you can look the person straight in the eye, much more than the opinions of folks who were not there.
They break the KNOWN laws of physics.
But as Bob Lazar explained it- they warp space/time around themselves and effectively pull themselves into a new space.
They do not feel a 90-degree turn. To them, they feel like they are standing still, and space is moving around them.
Well crap! I never though of that before! That is a very good hypothesis.
Mr. Lazar’s imagination apparently is quite fertile, though unmoored to objective reality.
