You wouldn’t want to disappoint Deejah Thoris, now would you???

An Assistant SecDef says otherwise.

I saw a UFO.

The entire time it was in my field of view was perhaps 10 seconds. It was waaaay before everyone carried a camera in their pocket, but even if I had a camera in my possession, I doubt I could have pulled it up and gotten off a clear shot.

Even if I had gotten a clear shot, it was an oval, bluish-white glowing object. It would have looked like a moving blob of light.

To say that you will not believe unless someone shows you a clear photo is silly. I get the feeling that you are the type that IF they showed you a clear photo you would claim it must be fake since it is so clear.

So? How do you know that he is telling the truth? Do you believe every single thing that a government official says? If these were classified programs and the Assistance SECDEF publicized them, he’d be in deep kimchi.

Ok, I’d make an exception if she looked like she does on book covers.

I did not indicate I would not believe you. I have not indicated I did not believe anyone else.

The issue I have put out there is that, quite naturally, our anecdotal experiences, and our beliefs about what was seen, is just not convincing arguments to end the mystery for 99% of the general public.

Untampered totally clear and transparent photos that leave no doubts are going to be the only things that start to end the mystery for the general public.

Who’s to say some know the truth and have been lying? People who have TS-SCI clearances lie to people all the time about what they do while they’re doing that kind of work and still later while their NDA’s are still in effect. Maybe this tech has been held so tightly that only a few dozen people know about it for sure at this point. Think of Rummsfeld’s Unknown Unknowns, there are a lot of things we simply do not know that we do not know. I’m not saying I know 100% that these things are ours, I am making the case that these objects are most likely of US origin simply because that makes the most sense, think Occam’s razor.

Who knows, maybe the government had Nikola Tesla’s notes all along and they’ve had a double secret SCI quadruple code word program since the 1920’s or so and they finally decoded Tesla’s notes and formulas and these objects are the end result of the breakthroughs provided by Tesla’s work.

In this case, Cmdr David Fravor, who witnessed the UAP, was the most senior F-18 Super Hornet pilot on the USS Nimitz which was part of a carrier group that included the USS Princeton, the first Ticonderoga-class cruiser to carry the upgraded AN/SPY-1B radar system.

The Princeton tells Fravor, providing confirmation of his sighting, and he reports this story.

Hardly "double hearsay."

You're better than that, Ben.

Your absolutely right. My experience was in 1978. The old Kodak 110 pocket cameras we had would have made a picture of this obect so blurry. And video wasn’t around yet. It is still vivid in my mind. The way thing moved to stop on dime, turn 90, and accelerate.

I’ve not seen any evidence that these objects are able to defy the laws of physics. They just use the laws of physics far more efficiently than other aircraft.

“An Assistant SecDef says otherwise.”

As John McEnroe used to say, “You cannot be serious”.

Do you not understand the concept of hearsay?

All of that data is recorded. All navy ships have systems that record every radio communication and all the radar/camera data. If memory serves, the system’s nomenclature was something like AN/RD-971(V)3. Again that was from memory from many moons ago when I used to work on the deck plates so it might not be valid for today’s equipment.

You know what confirmation bias is, right?

It makes sense that they would show up when they saw Columbus crossing the Atlantic. They’ve always wanted us to know they were there.

I’m just asking questions.

Fravor didnt talk to me, so I dont know what he did or didnt say, and the Princton didnt talk either to me or to the interlocutor who is alleging that Fravor told him what the Prjncton said.

Whether i want to beleive these accounts or not doesnt matter. I only have questions.

That’s a good thing right?

It’s absolutely not hearsay. There are recordings of everything which was said over the radios, there are recordings of every radar contact, everything each of the CIC consoles were displaying, there are recordings of all the data that was being transmitted over the various comm/data links (11, 4A and 13). Every bit of the data from these encounters which were observed/detected by navy sensors are recorded so what the pilots, radar operators etc...etc... say happened is not hearsay, everything they say is backed up by data recordings.

Sorry, might have incorrectly understood what you were considering hearsay.

Which predictor of the future was it who recently said we are about to find out our entire world has changed forever? One of those guys who make videos that are no longer allowed on YouTube.

Fravor has done tons of interviews and he has reported that the USS Princeton was giving him real-time input (directly or indirectly) from its systems when he was tracking the UAP. You can listen to his testimony personally.

I have no idea what is going on in this matter, but standing at a distance and asking loaded questions is pathetic. If you actually wanted to know, you would find there is plenty of evidence to support a wide range of possibilities.
