Former US defense official: We know UFOs are real - here's why that's concerning
Fox News ^ | May 29 2019 | Anna Hopkins

After a bombshell report detailing near-daily interactions with unidentified flying objects by Navy pilots in 2014 and 2015, Christopher Mellon has argued that this information is nothing new, and the government needs to do something about it.

Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, is involved with a new History Channel series, 'Unidentified,' which will expand on topics discussed in a recent New York Times article. In numerous interviews, Navy pilots revealed that they saw UFOs moving at hypersonic speeds, performing acts “beyond the physical limits of a human crew,” and emitting "no visible engine or infrared exhaust plumes."

In a Wednesday morning interview with "Fox & Friends," Mellon, who has written extensively on the topic before, outlined the reasons the Navy is concerned about these sightings.

Are they really going to do a extraterrestrial false flag event to try to stop the coup being rolled up? These stories are suddenly everywhere...

Why would any self respecting alien(given that they have the technology to do so and given that, have so much more than we do) come to this obscure planet in this obscure solar system in this obscure galaxy when there are innumerable others to choose from? If they have everything we have and more, what would attract them? Just askin.

Add this new show with the ancient aliens propaganda and the pattern is easily discernible. They’re setting us up for a global religion of alien worship that elevates antichrist.

If it is disclosure that there are UFO’s that we can’t explain it could indeed be a wild summer. Aliens suddenly acknowledged or Barr giving the CIA a public enema, which one do you think will be covered by the media?

I have no doubt they are studying UFO’s, people have seen too many strange objects in the air. Blue Book did the same thing and a few could not be explained, however this would be a snooze fest compared to Barr ripping the CIA/FBI a new one in court. Now throw in the government saying aliens are real concept, whether they are or not that draws away attention from the CIA/FBI.

Yes, they are real, and they are causing global warming, the hole in the ozone, volcanoes, red tide, boils, nose bleeds, upper urinary tract infections, hammer toes, lyme disease, lupus, and liberal insanity

We need to build a wall, or dome rather- to keep illegal aliens

‘I don’t believe in evolution, life from nothing’

not only do you not believe it, you do not understand it...

‘I believe there is enough evidence to point to intelligent design that we are God’s planned creation.’

which is...?

When you show me where life has been created from a pool of chemicals, then we have something to talk about. It hasn’t been shown yet.

Lots of books and materials out there asking questions about how DNA/RNA is designed, and the mathematical probabilities that its complexity was found by some accident of nature vs by design. We think we are great engineers with nano-tech. Look at the engineering of DNA. OTOH, there is no evidence to support evolution. So both 'theories' exist. But its up to your belief system.

Pretty strong comeback to say "not only do you not believe it, you do not understand it...". Do you? Explain it to me then.

I was 5 years old when JFK was executed by the baby Deep State. I wonder what he had up his sleeve? He did make public statements about the utterly, irremediably corrupt CIA shortly before Dallas.

Every form of government in the US since then has been nothing but a palace guard for the National Security State - until Trump.

Frankly, I’m surprised the President hasn’t yet been the target of some “lone nut” like Oswald, Bremmer, Ray, or the countless myriad “school shooters” we read about every day.

Pray for the continued good health of the President

What is the government supposed to do? What they usually do - keep lying until it becomes accepted fact. Hey, it’s worked before

Isn’t that an oxymoron of sorts... Giving somebody who believes in UFO’s a job as the ‘Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence’.

I do not classify people who are gullible enough to believe in little green men, ghost and unicorns as intelligent.

I got two things to say about this other than its not there's but ours.

Phoenix Lights, and SR71. Why SR71? Because Kelly Johnson designed and they flew that thing in the rock and roll era. What could they have done since building and flying that thing since?

The Phoenix lights are pretty self explanatory.

“Who is to say they are not an electical phenomenon?”

Natural electrical and geophysical phenomena do not act in intelligently-directed ways (for example, one of the objects in the 2004 interaction flew to a location which was the coordinates of the fighter’s next rendezvous point).

Thanks for the video!

Oldexpat : "They need to be clear that they are talking about naked eye observation or electronic imagines." [SIC]

~~~~~~~~~~~

There are better videos that show the designators atop the HUD that indicate the display being switched from "visual video" (white image) to "FLIR" (infrared -- black image). The targeting reticle object shows up strongly in both spectral domains.

Reports claim that these objects have been detected visually and on video, IR, and on RADAR. That encompasses a very wide spectral range.
