OK! It’s time to take UFOs seriously (LA Times)
LA Times ^ | Dillon Guthrie

Posted on 12/16/2021 1:23:54 PM PST by RoosterRedux

Of all the year’s political drama, the most surprising may be the U.S. government’s actions on unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs — better known as UFOs.

The opening act came in June, when the Pentagon and the director of national intelligence delivered an astonishing report to Congress addressing UAPs. Most of these phenomena turn out to have prosaic explanations — such as weather balloons, space debris and atmospheric effects in the sky — with a small percentage exhibiting unusual flight characteristics that suggest advanced technology.

The June report, however, found the opposite: It could account for only one of the 144 UAP sightings between 2004 and 2021 that it examined, including 80 observed with multiple sensors such as high-tech military radar and infrared cameras mounted on warplanes.

*snip*

Now Congress wants answers. In November, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) authored legislation creating an office to study UAPs government-wide and report to Congress. Then the Defense Department tried to stake its claim to the issue, shortly after announcing the formation of its own UAP unit. Its team would investigate only UAPs spotted in sensitive military airspace, and it would operate without congressional supervision. Some criticized the half-measure as a preemptive ploy to avert oversight, though the Pentagon denies those claims.

But Gillibrand and a bipartisan bloc of lawmakers, including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), were not deterred.

I think that aliens would only really show up if they actively wanted to colonize the planet, and to do that they’d have to make sure that the human population had somehow been eradicated.

Hey ... wait a minute ...

Forget crime, inflation, high taxes, drug use, illegals, and totalitarianism! It’s the Flying Saucers you should be worried about!

If they have a "D" after their name, I don't want to hear a damned thing about it unless the invisible aliens are revealing themselves to us and getting ready to blast us.

I took 🛸 UFOs seriously in the 1950s so I’m glad others are catching up.

In an age of scanning electron microscopes and the Hubble telescope, we are entertained by out of focus blurs with no reference background.

LOL

It’s time to take voter fraud seriously.

No “space migrant” ever took my liberty away from me.

Alex Jones has been predicting for a couple of years that the next crisis hoax would be an alien invasion.

He’s not a soothsayer.

He just reads their white papers.

They tell us what they are going to do.

We just don’t believe they would really do it.

Anyone else remember Project Blue Book? As I recall that was a governmental and/or military study of UFOs done decades ago.

I don’t recall any conclusions drawn by Blue Book. Just saying we’ve been down this road before with UFO study.

If desperate enough will the regime resort to a fake alien delivered “ take your vaxx to save the earth” message? That pint sized Fauci/Gort has been flexing his muscles for two years now.

As Allen Hynek said, the purpose of Blue Book was to debunk any and all reports.

UFO's will replace COVID as the latest terrorist. I won't be shocked when CNN comes on the TVs at the airports and laudramats and reports that Aliens have made contact and demand all humans must surrender their weapons

once they have us all conditioned, people will believe it just like we all fell for the terror of COVID

everyone will fall under the spell and live in fear

~~~

This is how I feel, although I wasn’t around in the 50s.
The “UFO” phenomenon has been around since Roswell, if not before. All of a sudden, after 70+ years of poo poo
ing the issue, the media is saying this is SRS BZNS? Psh

Indeed so.
It fits nicely with human-induced climate change and critical race theory.

A week ago the Chinese said they would send their moon rover to the Box On the Moon. It's been six days and silence is all you hear.
