“The new edition of Jacques Vallee’s book ‘Passport to Magonia’ is basically a compendium of historical records of sightings, going way back.”

I remember you mentioning that before. I need to get it...

Someone will come along and say it’s ‘demons’.

“Someone will come along and say it’s ‘demons’.”

Except the art says different. How many were cast out? Not all of them. The majority remain Angels.

It also includes sightings among cultures and belief systems that many now consider ‘pagan’.

The thing about ancient artistic depictions is that in those days, practically ALL art was given over to religious themes. It was one of the ways that mostly illiterate people were instructed, and probably not just about religious topics but many other things as well.

There are carvings in ancient Egyptian monuments that modern people have thought might represent Ufos.

“We are almost 34 trillion in debt. How long did it take to add another trillion to the debt, 8 months? And this is what we are wasting out time on.”

So we should sit around and pout about the debt instead? Maybe throw a few hissy fits? That would be preferable?

I won’t watch anything with Greer in it. He makes stuff up.

“The government offered me two billion dollars to keep quiet,” Or something like that.

I believe in UFO’s but come on, man.

Yep, and ancient prehistoric rock art.

Have you ever watched the ‘50’s version of “War of the Worlds?”

After they first land, the army tries to figure out what they are. A minister runs out into the open area between the army and the Martians, waving his arms and saying “we mean you no harm”, etc. The Martians zap him with a death ray.

I thought UFO news was just a distraction from Bidung corruption “bombshells” kind of like Trump indictments

I feel the same way about Greer - rivaled only by Lazar.

I’ve wondered if people like this are hired to give the whole inquiry a bad name. But on the other hand, maybe the apparent craziness engendered in some people is somehow itself an aspect of the phenomena.

The military industrial complex has in all likely hood committed crimes against humanity with their UFO related behavior. If the truth is revealed their duplicity would be revealed at some point. The truth might also show that vast fortunes were made by companies and individuals at the expense of humanity and the American tax payer. The MIC has a great deal to lose by having the truth come out in this situation and thus they call in their favors from the Republican representatives they bought and paid for to further block their damning crimes.

Just look at how conservatives on FR will believe every word uttered by US intelligence and DOD agencies and yet in the next breath damn the entire US government for its lies and criminal behavior. Their behavior is beyond weird.

???

One of the radar operators from the Tic Tac story of 2004 said these craft were coming in from above 80,000 feet, the limit of the radar, descending to 20,000 feet, and could drop to sea level in less than a second.

Yep. They sure fight hard to protect something that doesn’t exist.

See all Republicans are far-right guardians of gridlock in the face of another world crisis. BTW, Fox News lucked out.

Wow you figured it out. The US figured out how to accelerate from a standing start to the speed of sound in less than a second. And also how to turn 90 degrees at that speed. All without leaving a sonic boom or exhaust. And for 80 years they have not built an invincible air force and other super weapons. What genius.

Does prove or even actually suggest they are of extraterrestrial design. Only that he didn’t know what they were.

It was all goofy 50s scifi to me until I saw them myself.

Me too. When I was young I saw some objects that made me recoil. Made a big lifelong impression on me to the point where I wanted a better look at what's out there. Below is my small scope in my little home built optical observatory. Over several decades I've seen probably 20 objects during 4 separate events which I could not explain what the hell they were. Two events with the unaided eye and two using optics. Then again, maybe like the other poster said, "We're all just batshit crazy". ☺
