Government Says UFOs Aren’t American Technology, Can’t Rule Out Alien Origins
Popular Mechanics via Yahoo ^ | June 4th, 2021 | Andrew Daniels

In the first taste of a feverishly anticipated report the Pentagon will release later this month, U.S. intelligence officials say they haven’t found evidence that recent documented sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), better known as unidentified flying objects (UFOs), have extraterrestrial origins.

According to senior administration officials with knowledge of the forthcoming report, however, the briefing only appears to confirm the UAP aren’t products of U.S. military or government technology, per a New York Times preview published June 3. That the Pentagon can’t conclusively eliminate other possible explanations for observations of the mysterious aircraft means the popular alien theory remains in play—for now.

American technology would be more advanced if we hadn’t distracted ourselves with all the racist baloney the past 13 years.

The Pentagon may not know exactly who "they" are, but they know much, MUCH more than they are letting on.

Mellon, Elizondo, and most of the pilots who witness these things have said that they are so much more advanced than anything we can imagine. They are certainly not ours or our enemies'.

As an aside, new technologies do not emerge (poof!) out of a vacuum. They are part of a process of technological evolution and development. We would have noticed forerunner technologies and would be able to extrapolate from those to these.

Israel is most advanced and has reason to keep secrets.

And that they aren’t seeking to be able to rise to the challenge of this “foreign power” but the US military IS rising to the challenge of fighting climate change

So what is their motive for wanting to visit earth? Why travel all the way from Zeti Reticuli to come to this backward place?

For the same reason we study penguins, ants, or whales; scientific curiosity. And they got a well funded grant from Zeti Reticuli University.

In the past 70 years are there any examples confirmed of US military technology that was taken to be a UFO?

If they are not American why is here is the only place they are seen can and why hasn’t one been shot down and Navy pilots have seen the for over a year we say test area.

They may need our rarest brain chemicals the way we need rare earth metals and minerals to manufacture certain products in their world.

***********

Actually rare earth metals are not that rare. China cornered the market because of low production costs and lack of environment constraints. The U.S has one of the largest rare earth deposits in the world but we keep manufacturing reasons not to mine it.

“...pilots who witness these things have said that they are so much more advanced than anything we can imagine”

I wonder how any pilots that happen to catch a glimpse of an F-117 Nighthawk in 1981 would have described it?

They are clearly obfuscating, but I calculate it will be a few months before they start trying sell us on hyperdimensional Angels and Demons. Anything but the truth until it’s obvious even to vapid drug/sex/entertainment soaked “commoner”.

I think they are referring here to the fact that these craft move from 80,000 ft in altitude to the surface of the ocean in less than a second. And then make right angle turns at hypersonic speed without breaking apart.

On top of that, when the tictac Cmdr. David Fravor was chasing disappeared and he was told to break-off and rendezvous at a CAP point by the USS Princeton, the Princeton radar operator immediately found that the tictac instantly appeared at the rendezvous point some 50 miles away.

There are two questions here. First, how did the tictac know where the rendezvous point was and, second, how did it get there instantaneously?

There are two categories here.

Eyeballs saw them, and RADAR saw them

If it is only RADAR, I wonder if at least some of them are calibration errors or some type of error? Do the RADARs that look for stealth planes, accidentally pick up raindrops, birds, or simply occasionally return false echos?

This happens in video, I do not know about RADAR.
Look at this Monster Quest episode on “flying Rods” for what I mean.

We need to start dragging some high-end cameras under our ships! See what’s up down there.
Like dash cams, that can see through soup.
And robots at the bottom, too. We’ve got a better view of the dark side of the moon, than we have of our oceans.

Think outside the box.

Let's not leave "the box" entirely. It seems these things have a penchant for military bases and activity.

My Ancient Aliens education has taught me that they were here looooong before us and yet we insist on calling them “aliens.”
