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.

The underlying assumption is that the government(s) can do something about the UFO’s

How do you get “little green men” from unexplainable aerial craft? It’s always surprising to me when people link empirical evidence with mythology as if the two just naturally go together when in fact they would seem to be complete opposites.

I’ll throw my $.05 in.

Flying over water near Israel, co-pilot and I both saw what appeared to be a giant nickle falling out of the sky.

Silver, definitely metallic, apparently out of control. Also appeared on targeting radar.

Hit the water, no splash we could see, no debris.

Filed it under “unknown”.

Was told it was probably a metallic weather balloon, but it was flipping just like a coin, not flapping like a deflated balloon.

Has the military published the ROE for engaging UFOs?

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

which is...?

Ahhmmm ... Just about everywhere. Molecules to microbes evolution is impossible and has never been observed. And evolution of a complex organism is even more impossible (ponder that - more impossible).
Evolution is just a fairy tale. And a religion for atheists and abortionists.

“Can’t be Soviet unless there’s a time machine involved!”

The Russians...and Chinese... are serious as a heart attack while our beyond useless government dicks around with fruits and trannies in the military, men in ladies rooms and womens sports, harassing and investigating Trump, etc.

How else would the government disseminate information propaganda? By Morse code? Junk mail? Western Union?

I do not believe for one second that man is alone in the universe.

You are correct. God and His angels, Satan and his demons are here as well.

I like that angle. Very cynical.

Yes, they have. Let me see if I can find them.

A. Rules of Engagement in the Tactical Area of Responsibility on 14 April 1994

Rules of Engagement guidance for the TAOR were as follows:

a. Any unidentified airborne object in or approaching airspace within a U.S. air defense area of responsibility will be identified by any means available, including visual recognition, flight plan correlation, electronic interrogation, and track analysis.

b. When feasible, airborne objects in or approaching the airspace within a U.S. area of responsibility that have not been satisfactorily identified by communications, electronics, or any other means will be intercepted for visual identification purposes.

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

I’d rather have a someone with an open mind in an office such as that, than someone with a mind as closed as yours. It’s pretty gullible to believe that only that which one can see exists. To deny the possibility shuts down any possibility of learning and exploring that which isn’t yet known.

We do need Quix!

He might just be too busy riding around in those UFOs though.

I just hope they’re here to kill us and, or collect us for God, but not to just eat us.
