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.

“Greer...Something happened to him...he snapped”

Tell me more! I did not know that.

Steven Greer no longer holds a prominent place in the UFO community.
Is that the goofy looking guy in the 'It's Aliens' memes?

Well, all I know is that he used to be a real contributor to the cause of disclosure, but then turned to the CE-5 protocols for conjuring up "extraterrestrials."

I don't know if it was the money, the fame, or something else, but he sort of ran off the rails.

That's all I know. He's persona non grata now.

There does seem to be hard evidence of ET presence; however, the government hides it. It might not be unwise for governments to do so.

ALL of the army officers who were at the Roswell airbase at the time of the UFO crash/recovery have stated on their death beds that the crash was real and ET bodies were recovered. ALL of them.

This topic scares the crap out of people, oddly enough, mostly people of Faith. The government back then determined that society would become unraveled if ET presence became verified in the public. They also didn't want the public to know that these things could come and go as they pleased regardless of the best efforts on the part of our forces to intercept them.

There’s a huge amount of evidence of something.

There’s circumstantial evidence, anecdotal evidence, and now a massive amount of triangulated sensor evidence (simultaneous radar, IR, satellite, etc. from the military).

The question is “what is it.”

There were rumors even before the “Disclosure” days that something was not right with the guy.

Here is an old article giving him a beat-down:

A UFO show that was on a few days ago said the white tic tacs are living organisms and have been here forever.

There are many reason why I have soured on the UFO “movement” in recent years.

One incident I have not told you about is when I got to spend some time with Paola Harris at one of her UFO meetings.

This is her: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4555527/

I did a lot of listening and very little talking—and was deeply disappointed in her.

She is just not very bright, for starters.

She seemed more concerned about monetary challenges she was facing than the philosophical and other issues of UFOs.

(That is stupid by itself—why would you share that with a stranger?!)

It just seemed like she was “mailing it in” trying to make a living.

I was stunned.

If there is no passion for discovery in this area, then the person is useless imho.

Amen.

BTW, have heard the same about Harris.

The probe moves about 6 feet a day. Probably not much of a change yet.

Yep !!!

Luke 21:34-36 King James Version

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Frank Edwards was the guy. Odd he never mentioned the Roswell crash in his books.

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

Since Blue Book was headed by a captain, I don’t think the gov took it seriously. I wonder who Capt. Ruppelt pissed off to get stuck with that thankless job. The original name, Project Grudge was another indicator.

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

I think the only conclusion they came to is that there’s some weird sh!t going on, but we can’t prove it’s aliens at this time.
