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.

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.

America NEEDS to start taking democrats actions to destroy the Country “more seriously”.
I used to exchange email with General Jesse Marcel, Jr. of Roswell fame. All of them took it seriously; however, the Pentagon did bury it.
I’ll believe when the dang things are on my front yard doing the hokey-pokey with big foot.
Whatever causes the UFO phenomena has been around for thousands of years. There is absolutely nothing we need do or should do or can do about it.
Perhaps avoidance is the best policy. Encounters with "them" (if there is a "them") do not seem to turn out very well for human beings. The folks who report "close encounters" seem to be often deranged in various ways after the experience.
Meanwhile, we have a globalist elite which appears to be caught up in psychotic delusions and wrecking Western civilization as fast as they can, with a plainly stated objective of reducing the human population by significant amounts. But don't look over there.

......if I take them seriously, what should I do about them?
Millions of missing people?
Had to be UFOs - yeah, that’s the ticket!
We’ll need to track you of course.
For your own good.
Here’s an implantable microchip.
Oh and a QR code tattoo.
Will that be right hand?
Or forehead?
You had to know Rubio was going to support anything that led to anal probes.
This is truly amazing. Remember when the Russian probe took a pic of an anomaly as it approached, I think it was as Phobos, and was never heard from again?
Space aliens: color me really, really skeptical to complete BS.
I totally believe that they tell us what they’re gonna do.
Most people don’t understand or brush it off.
Hopefully, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy ain’t the message!
Where’s Slim Whitman when we need him?
There was the 70s series Project UFO by Jack Webb.
Decent show.
The Battle of Los Angeles happened in 1942:

Now there were some interesting UFOs!
What an honor!
If UFO’s were taken seriously then we could at least stop ridiculing people and ruining the careers of airline pilots and military pilots who accurately report what they see.
Myself I am love to say what the source of these things are. I don’t know. But obviously they are indeed something. Maybe they’re worthy of investigation. And maybe that might happen if we take them seriously.
Please don't tell me there are any Freepers who believe in aliens.
The only reasons an alien race can possibly be visiting this planet is for the comedy aspect of it.
Exactly.
Reports from the DOD are that this ridicule factor has prevented the reporting of quadcopter drones invading the airspace around sensitive installations that might be owned by our adversaries and/or even armed with explosives.
