[T]he Pentagon, and Washington in general, is really keen on talking about UFOs. Here’s a list of senior DC people who’ve been making strange remarks about UFOs/UAPs (in the sense, at the very least, that something inexplicable is haunting our planet).
John Brennan, head of the CIA under Obama, in 2021: “Some of the phenomena we’re going to be seeing continues to be unexplained and might, in fact… something that we don’t yet understand, and could involve some type of activity that some might say constitute a different form of life.”
John Ratcliffe, Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence, also in 2021: “There are a lot more sightings than have been made public. Some of those have been declassified. And when we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain. Movements that are hard to replicate that we don’t have the technology for. Or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.”
Perhaps the most striking intervention came from Barack Obama on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2021. In the middle of the usual banter about “little green men,” Obama suddenly stopped smiling and said: “What is true, and I’m actually being serious here, is that… there’s footage and records of objects in the skies, that we don’t know exactly what they are. We can’t explain how they moved, their trajectory. They did not have an easily explainable pattern. And so, you know, I think that people still take seriously trying to investigate and figure out what that is.”

And now, in the last couple of weeks, we’ve seen a wild new development: the whistleblower David Grusch. An experienced, clever, articulate and highly respected American intelligence officer, with a glittering résumé, at one point seconded to a new unit “studying UAPs,” Grusch recently resigned so he could come out (under the protection of new UFO whistleblower legislation) and make the most extraordinary claims. Claims that he has made under oath to Congress, with the support of colleagues.
Here are just a few of them. The US military is in possession of crashed “alien” craft (notably Grusch does not use the term “extraterrestrial”; he says “non-human intelligence: NHI”). These NHI craft — or their “pilots” — have, in the past, injured and even killed humans. At least one craft is in private possession. The bodies of pilots have also been retrieved.
And there’s more. The NHIs — the aliens — may not be from beyond the solar system, but existing in a parallel dimension to ours, right here. Their craft seem to have the ability to bend space and time: they appear bigger on the outside than inside (yes, like the Tardis). Investigators who go inside them have suffered bizarre ill-effects. Despite this, the US government is in a kind of agreement with some of the alien NHIs.

“whistleblower David Grusch. An experienced, clever, articulate and highly respected American intelligence officer...”
See, you say “intelligence officer”, but I hear “professional liar”.
“A quantum superposition craft, which solves numerous problems of travel over vast distances or time. You sit in a control room on your home world and are simultaneously in a craft on another. Or, the craft is simply a door that you can step through, connected via quantum superposition.”
Well, #1 you are talking about quantum entanglement and “quantum teleportation”, not quantum superposition. And #2, neither of those would actually work the way you describe.
It’s all science fiction. Quantum physicists are notorious for making up a new theory, whole cloth, when a previous one is proven wrong.
” Today, when the DeepStaters start hawking this rubbish, it’s designed to control the public, not entertain them.”
Where we disagree is that I think the stuff is real and you do not—but to the Deep State everything is a weapon and a propaganda tool—regardless of where the truth lies.
Taken any quantum physics courses?
Assuming off the top of your head that Grusch is a liar because of his training sounds more like that fits your desired narrative than fits the facts.
“It’s all science fiction.”
LOL. You’re the one who was trying to use it to explain “UFO” phenomena. If you want to call it “fiction” now, that’s fine by me.
“Wouldn’t that depend on his specific job as an intelligence officer? There are many jobs in intelligence that are not involved in deceiving the enemy.”
No, there are no jobs in intelligence that don’t require the willingness to deceive as a matter of course. It’s a job requirement. If you were to go in there and say “no, I won’t lie to the American public just because my superiors order me to”, then you wouldn’t get the job.
Don't get your panties in a twist. The first part of my reply was in response to my OWN post: a quantum superposition craft (or entanglement, or teleportation, or whatever you want to call it). Dude, it's a thread about aliens.
In regards to quantum physicists, there are well-known scientists and physicists who say the same about them (and their theories and/or methods).
See #69.
I guess I should just stick with the demons nonsense, instead of aliens and science fiction.
You know, I honestly thought my entire post would have conveyed the fiction (and what I thought would be fun) aspect to what I was saying -- especially the last part of it -- but FReepers never cease to surprise me.
It's just like my sarcastic post in a different thread just yesterday. Out of six replies to my post, only one -- the last one -- caught the sarcasm. Amazing.
Since panties was the first thing that came to your mind over a question regarding physics courses. No further questions!
It's an idiom that's been used for a long, long time. I didn't invent it, and if you've never heard it maybe you should put the quantum physics books down.
You’re on the internet. People here post all kinds of stupidity with all seriousness. So unless someone actually knows you, they probably are not going to just assume you’re being sarcastic.
In that case, I guess I should pull out my Dial of Destiny, turn the clock back and correct my quantum-sized mistakes before I lead folks astray.
I'm making that up, BTW. I can't actually do that, because I lost my Antikythera Mechanism ages ago.
My reading leads me more in the direction of reincarnation with those ET buzzards.
Operation Blue Beam.
Yep!
One of the references I have used in previous discussions about the (lack of) extraterrestrial intelligent life is The Anthropic Cosmological Principle (1986) by John D. Barrow and Frank J. Tipler, particularly their Chapter 8, "The Anthropic Principle and Biochemistry," and Chapter 9, "The Space-Travel Argument Against the Existence of Extraterrestrial Intelligent Life" (a more detail explanation of Enrico Fermi's quip, "If they existed they would be here.").
There are other papers and books that deal with the critical (planetary, solar system, and galactic) factors needed for intelligent life to exist. More of these factors are likely to be uncovered, but those known so far reduce Drake's probability equation for a planet in the galaxy containing intelligent life very close to the experimentally measured value of one.
We come at this topic from exactly opposite directions.
I have zero interest in academic analysis.
Human anecdotes from history and the present are data that get my attention.
