NASA Administrator: There have been "hundreds" of UFO sightings by pilots
hotair.com ^ | Jazz Shaw

Posted on 10/26/2021 2:59:31 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson was back in public last week, taking part in a University of Virginia live stream event hosted by Larry Sabato.

“Before we leave,” Nelson interjected near the end of the live stream, “I haven’t even talked about the search for extraterrestrial life.” …

“Now I know what you’ve seen is what those Navy pilots saw in 2004,” Nelson said during the live stream chat. “And there have been some three hundred sightings since then.”

“I’ve talked to those pilots,” Nelson added, saying that “they know they saw something, and their radars locked on to it. And then all of a sudden it was here on the surface, and then it’s there. And they don’t know what is. And we don’t know what it is.”

Nelson went on to reiterate that we don’t know where the objects are coming from or who controls them, but “we hope” that it’s not an adversary such as Russia or China. That would have been more than enough to set any number of tongues wagging in the ufology community, but Nelson wasn’t done. He went on to wax a bit poetic on the vastness of the universe and man’s place in it, asking where we came from and where our journey is taking us.
“But it’s something,” Nelson added. “And so this is a mission that we’re constantly looking [at]. Who is out there? Who are we? How did we get here? How did we become as we are? How did we develop? How did we civilize? And are those same conditions out there in a universe that has billions of other suns in billions of other galaxies?”

“It’s so large I can’t conceive it,” the NASA chief said.

When Sabato followed up on these points, he asked what Nelson thought the possibilities were. The NASA chief once again suggested (without saying it directly) that the universe is “so big” and there might even be other universes, the possibilities are endless. He said, “who am I to say that planet Earth is the only location of a life form that is civilized and organized like ours?”

Tracked emissions of radiation. EM radiation reflects, is varied and isn’t subject to aerial flight characteritcs.

That’s why these artifacts/phenomena are called UAPs, not necessarily objects....

The totalitarians ensconced in Our Government never cease to devise ways to advance their agenda. It's one of their ways for career advancement, though merit often has less to do with it than destructive potential (think Lt. Col. Vindman).

Since its inception NASA has been a go-to tool of fascists and communists (think Barry's "muslim outreach"). Catching lies from NASA is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Boy, that muddy arid regolith somehow cohered to itself to cake onto Neil's boot even before that very first print onto the lunar surface!

Since the fine regolith was so dry from the daytime lunar 250°F heat, it should have been far less coherent than footprints in 120°F heat in the Sahara desert (where there's roughly around a half inch of rain/year):

Small wonder AlGore thought in the heady presidential campaign season of 1999 he could get away with appearing to paddle a canoe robustly in what was actually only inches-deep water, achieved only by flushing billions of gallons into the area just below a New Hampshire dam in his "Floodgate" scandal, just for another faked photo opportunity. (Somehow, all pictures thereof on the Internet seem to have dried up! He's got pull that We The People don't.)

UFO "Easter Eggs" by a malign foreign or domestic enemy? Software glitches? Or, could be that we are seeing some form of Counter Electronic War fare testing our military? Internal CIA or DARPA programs designed to discourage Judeo Christian America? Disinformation from External groups?

Possible explanations the Radar displays. We have GPS satillites that we use for positioning. Someone is apparently screwing with these to cause naval vessels to collide (apparently. Do we still have Russian Trawlers or Chinese fishing boats following our fleets? Where do we get the chips from? Taiwan? Any backdoors for the CCP? Might have something to do with them.

Russian computer, US computer, all made in Taiwan!

Visual sightings might be the result of Skunk Works dark projects, or, Foreign nation actors. I would go with Terrestrial origin explanations before ET. Then again, they might already be here....

No, nothing so melodramatic. They are simply secret weapons, going all the way back to aeronautical developments in WW2. Read the book “Intercept UFO” by Renato Vesco to come up to speed on this prosaic but significant technology.

rx. You need an RX for delusional thinking if you think they did not land on the moon.

Yr. "Boy, that muddy arid regolith somehow cohered to itself to cake onto Neil's boot "

No regolith in that picture. Muddy thinking ignores the effect of the disturbance of the surface by the propulsion system of the lander. Note that that absent any atmosphere the dust immediately fell back to the surface of the moon and did not float around like dust in your house. What you are seeing in the boot print was the Compression of settled surface dust by the boot sole. (And probably static electrical attraction that the dust particles had for one another.)

"Picking up some dust"

What you are doing is slandering everyone still alive who watched the actual launch of Apollo 11 in Florida, the engineers with slide rules who designed, the companies and inviduals who manufactured, and assembled the vehicles that were launched, and the Astronauts who eventually landed on the moon, the crew on the recovery ships who picked them up when they parachuted back from outer space. The millions of people who watched on television as it happened.

"Since its inception NASA has been a go-to tool of fascists and communists..."

More likely that weak minds have been fooled by communists into believing that the U.S. did not land on the moon as part of their effort to deconstruct American history and discourage Americans regarding the truth of their accomplishments. (What has happened to you it appears!)

But you are free to think what you want! (Some folks! Visitors traveled here from trans stellar space? POSSIBLE,YES OF COURSE! U.S. Moon landing? A fraud, STAGED!)

Stick with your day job and quit trying to prove you know less than nothing about radar.

Amazon; 5 Used from $83.77 2 New from $885.04 2 Collectible from $75.00 A bit pricy!

We have always had our own more than capable scientists and engineers! Still, it remains true that our German scientists are better than Their German Scientists!

You can pick up a used paperback copy for $10 or less. You’re after the information, not the collectors’ edition pristine copy.

If you are going to “go there” at least be sure to fully understand the position you are attacking.

Here is the best website on the topic—hundreds and hundreds of articles from scientists and engineers all over the world:

It’s kind of amazing how this book has become such a collectors’ item.

David Hatcher Childress, a crackpot, bought the rights to reprint it, and he added 2 useless chapters to it, renaming it “Manmade UFOs”.

I can see how the original is more valuable than his bullshiite reprint. There is one tell a the beginning — the forward. No one notices it, but it is the reason that book made it past our censors in the late 1960s.

"That said, I don't know what the hell is going on"

I agree with you. If its real we will find out at some time. Until then I am going with the SkunkWorks or equivalent explanation. (We went to the moon! Some people don't know that!)

cgbg; Thank you for the link! Had not realized how many articles there were on this subject.

AULIS. I book marked and may go to it from time to time.

I watched the 1st landing at Boy Scout camp on a black and white television set with a wire coat hanger for an antenna, so that is not one of my experiences I am inclined to dismiss as staged.

I will tell you my interesting story from the summer of 1969.

Like you I watched the moon landing live on TV as a young man (teenager). I was very interested in both science and science fiction and I was very excited.

I was also an avid golfer, and my grandmother was a former lady golf champ and we did our weekly “bonding” with a round of golf.

Grandma was known as a lady who smiled a lot and kept her cool under all conditions. She never discussed politics or religion or anything very serious—mostly seemed interested in individual people and their lives.

So—I am out on the golf course and I say:

“Grandma. I hope you watched the moon landing. It was incredible and wonderful.”

She stops dead in her tracks. She stares me straight in the eyes. She is angry. I had never seen her angry before.

She tries to calm herself down enough so she could speak—it takes a few seconds.

“It was a fake”, she said. “Never believe anything you see on TV.”

(I never told anyone in the family about the incident—they probably wouldn’t have believed me anyway.)

Perhaps when you've stopped hyperventilating about millions supposedly being slandered, a reasonable conversation could be had. Hopefully the skooling around Kansas City in your day didn't preclude your looking at physical evidence and considering reason over reliance on that television set the Mockingbird media have skillfully programmed to be set between your ears (and the rest of the populace) for so many decades.

1) You start off quickly to show your naiveté by denying that it's regolith in the Neil Armstrong footprint picture. ( https://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/lunar/letss/regolith.pdf ) It is, and NASA admits that is its position on the issue.

You apparently missed my ironic use of the term muddy, as there of course could be no muddy, naturally occurring dust, broken rocks, and other related materials on the moon.

Regarding your attempt at something scholarly concerning compression, do you really think no compression was involved with the desert footprints? More naiveté!

As NASA attempted with the aid of an internet-based Youtube group to prove that a lunar bootprint could leave distinct edges (pointedly using this picture as the example), using this Armstrong's supposed first print as the example, they also employed the term regolith several times. All too cleverly, despite NASA's being in possession of over 380 kilograms of regolith, it noted that they chose to use "simulated regolith" for the Youtube demonstration to replicate a similarly well-defined defined bootprint to the one in the photo. FAIL!

It should be obvious to the any reader that I have not slandered anyone in my comment. What your comment does is to make assumptions and connections that were nowhere stated in what I wrote. Very few people would have to be in the know that Amstrong, Aldrin and Collins remained in Low Earth Orbit throughout the time of Apollo 11's being aloft. Any slander comes only from your hyperactived, decades long media programming and your missing and inferred "evidence" for your contentions.

Momentary reflection will make obvious that my saying that what millions of people saw on TV was faked in no way slanders those millions of people. They and you have been duped. You would apparently prefer their being duped even as you label me a slanderer.

Bill Kaysing, former senior scientist of NASA contractor Rocketdyne, which helped design the Saturn V rocket engine, claimed that in the late 1950s he managed to view the results of a highly secretive internal study conducted by NASA on the feasibility of man successfully landing on the moon. That study, Kaysing says, concluded “That the chance of success was something like .0017 percent. In other words, it was hopeless.” With Apollo 11, of the thousands of things that could have gone wrong to preclude mission success, NASA claims Apollo 11 came off without a single major hitch.

Kaysing: "Here's Neil Armstrong talking about landing on the Moon [via his helmet microphone as the LEM descends] and yet he's sitting practically on top of a rocket engine that is putting out [vibrations representing] sound levels of about 140 or 150dB. Now we know that that is absolutely impossible to overcome that sound level inside the lunar lander with a normal human voice." This official Apollo 11 image was subjected to image enhancement that showed how NASA or some other governmental agency had clearly composited the image, though NASA denied such manipulations had been done to the official photos.

If one looks at another official, oft-seen Apollo 11 image (below), one sees to two bright reflections at the upper edge of Buzz Aldrin's visor (at its 11 o'clock and 12:30 positions). As NASA denies any artificial lighting was brought along on the mission and we do sufficient research to realize the reflections could not have been any (non-existent) heavenly bodies in the lunar sky at that time in that direction, we are left with yet another confirmation of NASA's mendacities. Fraud!

[Looking at the top photo below, the Rover is at top, at left and behind the astronaut.]

In an extract of an official NASA Apollo 16 documentary, the narrator intones (among other, unrelated things): "Their first traverse would take them about 1km west of the landing site. They would make two stops to collect samples and collect experiments."

After multiple video breaks, including Rover travel video, the documentary continues, overlaid with the narrative: "Today, they are headed a little more than 4km south [of the lander], to climb their Rover up the side of Stone Mountain."

Astronaut: "Man, we are really going up a hill, I'll tell ya."

Narrator: "Their first station [on a subsequent day], a crater, 700' above the lunar module."

It's a different day, many kilometers distant, up near a mountain hilltop crater, yet the camera position and angle are identical, the rocks' shadows are identical, yet there's no Rover. NASA and its narrator lied to say the astronauts were at a very different location and at 700' difference in elevation from where they were much earlier. Since they lied about significant things in the itinerary, about doctoring photos and videos, creating audio streams out of whole cloth, about using artificial lighting on a movie set, we must hearken to the adage used by SCOTUS in Throckmorton,

"Fraud vitiates everything!"

You got that right.

She lived to be 106 years old and never had a serious illness the entire time.

It took me many years, but I finally "got it" and learned to follow her lead in many ways.

Sometimes inspiration comes when you least expect it.
