The legislation solves nothing, since they can always claim the sighting and report violated national security since it was one of ours.
Of course it would violate national security for them to tell you whether or not the claim was true!
Catch 22.
Welcome to the National Security state.
That said, I do know people who have seen a UFO up close. They don't know WTH it was.
I asked one family member if she would be willing to have a hypnotic regression session to see if she is repressing what happened. She said she didn't want to know.
Have to say I am disappointed by the jackasses who can’t get with the program and understand that “UFO” does not automatically mean ‘aliens’.
And careers have been destroyed because for some reason the government and military have steadfastly punished anyone who has reported a UFO >>> even if it is documented on video <<<.
Reasons for this in the past have included silencing people who have seen secret experimental aircraft. Early sightings of the U2 and SR-71 were actively suppressed by the government.
Another possible reason is that some of these sightings are truly unknown and they get suppressed because the government doesn’t want to admit that there are technologies that can frustrate and defeat the best we have to offer. It’s a bugger to ask Congress for a trillion in defense budgets every year when you can’t stop the (apparent) drones overflying Navy ships off of San Diego.
The answer to the problem can’t be found when people get punished for talking about it. This move by Congress is a good first step to ending the retaliatory acts of the military against its own people.
The DOD (the AF specifically) has really controlled this narrative for a very long time.
We don't know what these sightings are. Some of them may be our own advanced aircraft and others may be things yet to be identified or understood.
All that said, the government has seemingly had no problem in destroying lives and careers over this matter.
It's time to put this behind us.
Sorry, edgy. I apologize.
Back in the 60s there were lots of reports of sightings and abductions reporte and then there were the crop circles and such. They went away as soon as they appeared.
Strange lights in the sky just never do pan out.
Yes but do they work for DoD? It seems that if you do, your superiors may think you’re crazy.
A law protecting them can go only so far - the commanding officer/supervisor may still think the soldier/employee is crazy but go on to claim that any negative personnel action is unrelated to the report.
It was huge...much taller than the car and almost as wide. Looked like a ball of fire.
Since it appeared as we were leaving (behind us), I think it was methane ignited by the exhaust from the car (my dad's '62 T-Bird). I don't think cars had spark arrestors back in those days.
Scared the hell out of my girlfriend. We became much close after that experience. I think she was genuinely impressed.
Scared the hell out of me too for a while, but I hid it well from my GF.;-)
That's why I post these weird UFO threads. Takes away some of the seriousness of the times...at least so far.
