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.

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

Not aliens. Older, more advanced civilized race who went to live under the seas-most likely North and South Poles.

Christopher Columbus saw the tic tacs and documented them in his journals.

Grainy with no geological reference video an photos.

I'm agnostic on the whole UFO thing but...

#1, the F is for flying. It's not unexpected that there aren't lots of reference points in the sky.

#2, if these phenomena were able to manipulate gravity, as has been theorized by their movement, then it's not inconceivable that a side effect would be to bend light. This could both make focusing difficult (it's already difficult to focus on a distant, moving object) and make the object difficult to see clearly even when in focus.

I've tried to take pics of aircraft in the sky with my cell phone. It ain't easy beyond a certain altitude. Either you get a speck on the screen or, if you try to zoom, it's nearly impossible to hold the image steady and get any sort of autofocus. Trying to manual focus with a touch screen smartphone while holding it above your head and attempting to film any flying object is pretty much an exercise in futility.

The U.S has one of the largest rare earth deposits in the world but we keep manufacturing reasons not to mine it.


B Clinton turned it into a National Preserve to prevent all future mining as a favor to his Chinese ‘friends’, aka handlers.

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


A slow moving black object that resembles a jet with swept wings.

These are purely terrestrial in origin if not a hoax. How can I state this with such confidence? UFOs have evolved over decades in appearance and behavior. Why?

If they were interstellar they would already have a fairly good stable design that would not evolve as they have. We have tic-tacs, spheres, faceted thingys....and that’s just recently. Its reminiscent of the dawn of the jet age where many designs were quickly built, evolved and re-evolved. These “ufos” are doing the same thing if they are not complete fabrications.

If they are to be believed, humans made them. They are evolving as aircraft did in the 50s 60s 70s. They are ours or they are fake (or both).

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 are seen all over the world - South America, Antarctica, Russia more active than US - your media does not report it least you become alarmed and ask embarrassing questions they cannot answer.

Previous attempts to shoot them down ended in disaster for the fighter. Attempting to shoot down an object that has displayed no hostile intentions and is a superior tech, is an exercise in stupidity and a recipe for disaster

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

Those sightings go back hundreds of years.

Why travel all the way from Zeti Reticuli to come to this backward place?


Or their comfortable home in the hollow moon or deep under the oceans? Because this used to be their home long ago.

Just pointing out, that if they have denied US tech in the past (and are denying US tech today), they may not be completely honest in discussing this subject at this time...

Military imagers have no need of clear photos to image a target. Nor would a cell phone have a quick enough shutter or focal length nor speed of focus to capture an clear image at several miles and thousands of feet in altitude.

Cell phones are not made to take images moving at extreme speeds at high altitude and long distances. Even DSLRs with high powered lens would find it difficult to impossible.

Angels are just ordinary beings who live in a different realm or dimension.

This entire UFO nonsense started during the border crisis and increased to cover up the Fauci emails. It is 100% media-fueled distraction.

Fact Check: There is no evidence those people ever existed in the first place.

They do "seem" to have a penchant for military bases and activities--particularly nuclear.

But we don't have the same sensitive detection technology elsewhere that we do at military bases so we can't speak authoritatively about all the other areas where they might have taken an interest.

For all we know, they may be spending most of their time--albeit undetected--around pubs, bars, and strip clubs.

Since the Government never has prevaricated or withheld the truth on any other topic, you can definitely take what they say at face value...

These UFOs will be used to beam up all the vaccinated individuals once the experiment is in the final stages

I feel like the current government is stocked with the cast of Coast to Coast radio program. (Look it up if you aren’t familiar.)
