Navy Pilots Recall UFO Encounters: ‘There’s Something out There That Was Better Than Our Airplane’
The Epoch Times ^ | May 17, 2001 | Samuel Allegri

One month before the director of national intelligence and secretary of Defense are expected to deliver a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) intelligence report, Navy pilots and other former government officials are speaking out and describing their encounters with the mysterious sightings.

‘There’s Something out There That Was Better Than Our Airplane’

This is an interesting observation. If the UFO or UAP is so advanced wouldn't it be advanced enough to escape detection?

About 30 years. Ha ha.

A UAB doesn’t necessarily “fly.”

We’re lower than lab mice compared to whomever is operating with impunity in restricted airspace- we’re about as evolved as that sticky buildup behind the stove on the kitchen floor compared to “them”

Well these fly and were airborne. If they weren’t aerial or airborne they’d probably call them UGP’s or Unidentified Ground Phenomena. But that’s not the case. ☺

In other words, it’s all bull s**t, they’re playing with the term to get away from the old school stigma of the term, “UFO”. The government is really good at changing names and terms to fit and or to avoid stigmas, or to be politically correct, etc.

The frequency of the sightings parallels our development and use of artificial intelligence. It’s possible that, unbeknownst to us, AI is creating this phenomenon on its own.

Some of these things are different types of balloons. Clearly, they are floating, but not flying.

I know it sounds like a bullshit distinction. Today a vast majority of things reported are clearly something that can ultimately be identified. For example every time Musk releases Starlink satellites, the “phones light up.”

I think anyone who isn’t familiar with the reporting process or reviewing a lot of these things should refrain from making judgements. On either side.

lol, but that's not the case here, or in most others cases, as these objects are definitely aerial, moving, flying etc. They're splitting hairs to avoid stigmas, to be PC etc.

Think illegal alien, but now it's undocumented alien or whatever their last term is.

UFO is probably the perfect term. They're unidentified, they're aerial or flying, and they clearly appear to be some type of objects.

Relax. As mentioned, in *most* every case, these objects are definitely aerial, moving, flying and are unidentified. If they weren’t, few would even pay attention.

I am relaxed. But I am amazed at how pedantic some people can be.

It’s not a problem, as the devil is in the details, and it’s not me who’s splitting hairs, it’s those changing traditional terms and or coming up with these convoluted terms, such as UAP.☺

You should actually read up on why the change was made. And it was made decades ago. It’s just now being reported in the way that it has been discussed and categorized for a long time.

I am noticing the pyramid shape and the pyramid shape in the middle. With jet propulsion on three different sides, that makes the drone able to fly in three different angles, quickly. This gives it an elusive capability if you want to avoid having it shot down. The pyramid shape acts as a vertical stabilizer that works in three directions—pretty clever. It is the ultimate drone used to do electronic surveillance of our naval capabilities. And, who do you think is creating a massive naval capability? China.

***... 300,000 years. How many civilization could have risen and vanished in that time (most artifacts would be dust after 10,000 years)?

I consider the possibility of prehistoric advanced civilizations a real possibility. Rising oceans and earth and climate changes tend to obfuscate the evidence.

Most modern scholars are not even looking. One of my favorite examples is the archaeology site of Göbekli Tepe. It dates as far back as 11,000 years ago; it is a massive megalithic site. Scholars say it took hunter gatherers at least a millennium to construct the site.

OK... What did they use as site plans? How did they keep records of construction parameters? How did so many people hunt and gather while exercising skilled labor duties? If it is a religious site, were there religious records? How were food supplies provided for so many workers by hunter gatherers {they had to constantly move to provide for their families}?

These sorts of questions can be multiplied. Scholars just make acceptable proclamations without any thought to practical considerations to meet their theories.

Look at the megalithic site of Macchu Picchu - supposedly built by the Inca whose 'Empire' lasted about 100 years - along with a huge empire of roads and central administration and cities and temples. The timeline does not necessarily fit the great achievements of a society without the wheel or a written language.

...just saying 🤨

“What’s the difference between a UAP and UFO?”

A UFO is merely something that the observer cannot identify in the instant.

A UAP is something which people who should know, cannot explain.

If it was China you’s be hearing them crow about it to the heavens - the CCP is extremely vain and cannot abide NOT talking about its great achievements even if those achievements are lies. And no the Russians either. More like, ask why the triangles have blinking navigation lights and think USAF drone swarm terrorizing lowly swabbies.

Besides UAPs have been around for centuries, which leaves every foreign power out. There is a picture of a cylinder taken in 1871 flying above a New Hampshire mountain. No Chinese and no one else flying anything except hot air balloons

I think I’ll call them by the traditional term, UFOs. Constantly changing names, traditional terms, etc is right out of the leftist game book. Think illegal aliens and undocumented workers, rain forest and jungle, Merry Christmas vs happy holidays and on and on.

Reading list, if you are interested:

America Before - Graham Hancock
Magicians of the Gods - Graham Hancock
Before Atlantis - Frank Joseph
Denisovan Origins - Andrew Collins/Greg Little
Gods of Eden - Andrew Collins

Above are pretty much a collection of hard to find information with very little to no author inspection of sites, relics or monuments; Hancock does some personal investigation.

For more recent history try:
The Crystal Sun - Robert Temple
Egyptian Dawn - Robert Temple
The Sphinx Mystery - Robert Temple
Netherworld - Robert Temple

Temple does his own original research at various sites and museums with his wife who takes many many photos; he includes many translations of academic research not found elsewhere, as well as historical photos. He has not publish in over 10 years and may have passed, but his web sites are still up.

That guy made a Cameo on Resident Alien Series on the SyFy Network.

The whole first Season was hilarious, but like any Science Fiction Series there were Plot holes you could fly a Borg Cube through.

Can’t wait for the second Season.
