WaPo: How angry pilots got the Navy to stop dismissing UFO sightings
WaPo ^ | Deanna Paul

Posted on 04/25/2019 6:01:33 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

A recent uptick in sightings of unidentified flying objects — or as the military calls them, “unexplained aerial phenomena” — prompted the Navy to draft formal procedures for pilots to document encounters, a corrective measure that former officials say is long overdue.

“Since 2014, these intrusions have been happening on a regular basis,” Joseph Gradisher, spokesman for office of the deputy chief of naval operations for information warfare, told The Washington Post on Wednesday. Recently, unidentified aircraft have entered military-designated airspace as often as multiple times per month. “We want to get to the bottom of this. We need to determine who’s doing it, where it’s coming from and what their intent is. We need to try to find ways to prevent it from happening again.”

Citing safety and security concerns, Gradisher vowed to “investigate each and every report.”

At one point, our U 2’s and SR 71’s were UFO’s to the Soviet Union.

"That tracks my thoughts, but what do I know?"

I think maybe you do know what's in the Bible - and there is a lot there.

When Jacob saw angels ascending and descending a ladder - I think more in terms that he was witnessing a portal into another dimension.

Which isn't the same dimension that the "aliens" are from - apparently about a third of them were expelled from "heaven" into that other dimension that God prepared for them. "Hell", as it were.

And they DO NOT like humans, in that God created us in His image. And they especially don't like children or babies.

OK, enough.

I am not familiar with where in the Bible it says life was created only here? Can you explain?

Christians who go to bible believing churches don't need things like evolution, UFOs, global warming, female pastors, lesbian pastors, gay marriage, the earth's place in the universe or life on other planets explained to them.

Always thought that if UFOs were linked to a distant civilization, it was the aliens using earth’s atmosphere as a giant video screen.

Interesting!

Oh puhleeze!! I am as much a believer as you claim to be. It is not inconsistent to believe God created us and to also believe he created life other places in this Universe He created.

Can you show me where in the Bible it says we are the only life created by Him in the Universe?

A simple yes or no will suffice. Editorializing is not appreciated.

Yes, I thirst for faith. Being an agnostic sucks.

Maybe to their ordinary pilots, but their top brass knew what they were.

The way the game is played, they can't let us know that they know about our secrets.

I’m divorced, so I’d have definitely gone off to play.

Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for believing there are other planets and life elsewhere.

That sort of thing creates long memories...

...I have no idea why that would be a mathematical certainty. It's been shown there are over 20 very finely tuned environmental factors (temperature, gravitational pull, radiation levels, etc.) necessary for life here. The odds that even 10 of these factors would randomly occur on any other planet is a number larger than every grain of sand on earth times 10 to the 20th power...

I do not believe that is really true.

Life is found on earth in many unusual places, completely unsuited for organisms which inhabit other places. For instance, the colonies of life forms found at undersea vents.

We have already demonstrated that life can persist in zero gravity on the space station. We have also demonstrated that at least some forms of earth life can reproduce in zero gravity.

No, we are not going to find an exact duplicate of earth, but places where life can exist are going to be plentiful, just because there are so many planets in the universe.

God create angels (myriad of them). What realm do they inhabit (not suggesting other planets here)?

It is kind of hard to nail that down.

Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and [e]Satan also came among them. 7 And the Lord said to [f]Satan, “From where do you come?”

So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.

“So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it”

Satan said this? Satan is uneducated. Satan should know better then to end a sentence with s preposition.

Even so, he speaks of walking on this Earth. This does not mean God did not create other homes for his creations. Homes on other world’s, world’s where there could be another Devil walking to and fro saying the self same thing.

I believe in God, the Son of God the Virgin Mother and all the rest. God is Al mighty and can do anything he decides to do and certainly that would include creating another civilisation apart from ours.

Call it a control for His experiment creating us.

Not even close to an adequate response.

It is kind of hard to imagine that a God who can merely "think" or "speak" our universe into existence isn't going to create VAST numbers of other worlds.

To think otherwise seems to put God into a very tiny box.

That’s exactly what I thought, too.

Yeah; that ancient astronauts stuff they show on TV is weird. I mean entities that are in the here-and-now.

Interesting, I haven't heard a word about this......That's a strange statement to make. I've always believed that they are top secret experimental aircraft
