Government Finds No Evidence That Aerial Sightings Were Alien Spacecraft
NYTimes ^ | Julian E. Barnes and Helene Cooper

WASHINGTON — American intelligence officials have found no evidence that aerial phenomena witnessed by Navy pilots in recent years are alien spacecraft, but they still cannot explain the unusual movements that have mystified scientists and the military, according to senior administration officials briefed on the findings of a highly anticipated government report.

The report determines that the vast majority of more than 120 incidents over the past two decades did not originate from any American military or other advanced U.S. government technology, the officials said. That determination would appear to eliminate the possibility that Navy pilots who reported seeing unexplained aircraft might have encountered programs the government meant to keep secret.

But that is about the only conclusive finding in the classified intelligence report, the officials said. And while a forthcoming unclassified version, expected to be released to Congress by June 25, will present few other firm conclusions, senior officials briefed on the intelligence conceded that the very ambiguity of the findings meant the government could not definitively rule out theories that the phenomenon observed by military pilots might be alien spacecraft.

The final report will also contain a classified annex, the officials said. While that annex will not contain any evidence concluding that the phenomenon are alien spacecraft, the officials acknowledged that the fact that it would remain off limits to the public was likely to continue to fuel speculation that the government had secret data about alien visitations to Earth.

Fine... that does it...

I am going to go to an alien “hot spot” and shoot one of them down....

If the government objects I will simply put back into their face all the denials they have made over the lay 70+ YEARS!

It’s a trick question.

By definition, no UFO (unidentified flying object) can be “identified” as alien spacecraft, or anything else.

Always a possibility the claim that it is not ours is disinformation or left hand doesn’t know what right hand is doing.

I'd be less worried if they weren't human. Humans suck.;-)

Time travel must allow causality violation.
So if you don’t think its problem its clearly someone else’s or something’s problem.

As fun as SciFi time travel stories are, I’ve never liked them because it always comes back to causality violation. When I think about the logical order of the story it’s ruined by that.

I don’t like time travel stories either. They’re boring.

The photos always look like screen grabs from early VHS.
When I see a decent quality photo i might start paying attention.

A better wording would be there is no evidence they were either aliens or not.

They can’t prove they were not aliens.
