And when we miss and they perceive the aggression, followed by either defensive or retaliatory measures that we can’t cope with, then what?

Then at least we understand the nature of the threat. Right now we have no clew what they are. Delayed action could be catastrophic we just don't know.

Some claim there are 4 different races of alien which would explain the vast differences in craft.

But alien could also mean people who were here long ago - after 13,000 years (pre-Younger Dryas), they certainly would be alien to us.

Because they were ordered to.

But why? Unless of course to accomplish the obvious...get rid of the evidence.

But why get rid of the evidence?

What are your thoughts on that?

Might be hard to shoot down if they are some form of advanced hologram.

I agree, I'm just wondering if we have ever tried? I seen no record of it. They say we can track them with a verity of sensors. We can generally hit anything we can track.

“What are your thoughts on that?”

No profound thoughts here, I think it was just political pressure to “do something”.

I watched a show on Smithsonian channel very recently about Hynek and how he started out working many years for the Air Force attempting to squelch, silence and humiliate people who were reporting UFO sightings, only later to get out from under the program (blue book I believe) and into the private sector where you seemed to promote the idea that a certain percentage of sightings were not explainable by nature nor known man made technology.

The excuse they were giving for why the government would work so hard to suppress reporting and general knowledge about UFOs (this is the first time I’ve heard this excuse/theory) is for national security reasons they didn’t want the soviets or any enemies faking UFO sightings as a part of a diversion distracting from an attack or invasion. This makes very little sense. What enemy had the technology to penetrate our airspace and create fake UFO sightings in the first place??? This seems really weak at best, and if it was actually true, what would it say about the level of our enemy’s technology? Wouldn’t it even suggest that they though our enemies were behind the actual signtings, and not just potential distractions of them???

The most logical reason for suppressing the sightings so aggressively for so long is that it is neither alien nor foreign.

Apparently, the Robertson Panel was formed to humiliate and stigmatize people who reported UFO sightings because the military was afraid UFO sightings might overwhelm or clog up the communication systems, giving the Russians a window to attack.

Ironcially, the refusal of the military to study UFO sightings is what gave China the window for its use of balloons (i.e., presumably our radar was set to filter out anything below a level at which ICMBs, bombers, or fighters might enter the country).

Funny how things work out.

We have lots of these things hidden away in secret locations—most controlled by private contractors:

Okay let's just ignore their violations of our airspace, surveillance of our nuke bases and surface navy fleet. I'm sure they have no ill will.

Let's just hope for the best.

At this point, there’s no reasoning behind science.

Supposedly, after WW II, the result of a general “shoot them down” order as to UFOs was a dramatic rise in civilian and military air crashes attributable to UFOs. Various reports have it that an accommodation was reached with a representative ET species that we would not interfere with ET activities in return for them not disrupting human activities or making their presence generally known. In secret, the US has since then led an effort to understand UFOs and their technology and develop the basis for effective countermeasures.

Rooster:

The latest Jeremy Corbell/George Knapp “Weaponized” podcast has some new details that verify the Lazar story:

https://podbay.fm/p/weaponized-with-jeremy-corbell-and-george-knapp

Knapp does not think there were crashed saucers and at least one live alien at Area 51—he knows with metaphysical certainty—and explains why.

He also gives some history of a previous failed congressional investigation on this topic.
