“They” are here for the IMPEACHMENT TRIAL! /s

If alien abductions actually happen and they pulled Schiff and Nadler into their craft on a beam of light for examination and dna samples, they would shriek and drop them off on Earth again. "They've got to be kidding down there!" Return to sender.

Representatives from some 77 agencies, including the military and the FBI, met for a closed-door briefing in the small town of Brush on Jan. 6.

I have eaten a couple of times at the Drovers Culinary Cafe, which is located at a cattle dealership in Brush. If you find yourself in the northeastern corner of Colorado and are looking for a place to eat, Drovers is an excellent place to get steaks, prime rib, etc.

“Audibly buzzing” They have decoded the buzzing sounds. They Translate to “Take me to your leader”. /s

Great Jonathan Winters (of Blessed Memory) routine had Elwood P. Suggins interviewed. Said over 700 UFO's were seen over his farm through the years. "700!? Did any land?" "Yep." "Did they talk to you? What did they say?" "Oh, take me to your leader." "Wow. What did you reply." "Nothin' much. I didn't know who my leader was."

Swarming drones overwhelm sensors

Thanks...that's a cool video.

In 2002, I worked for a startup company which had Dan Golden, the ex-administrator of NASA on our board. He brought in a technology advisor who had final launch authority on the shuttle missions. They were discussing research they were involved with on swarms of UAVs and smaller drones. We were involved with DARPA programs at the time, although in a different area. At the time, heir discussions of drone swarm R&D and the future of micro-UAVs sounded just crazy.

Turns out this wasn't long after the 1997 launch of a DARPA multi-year, US$35 million development program to create "micro air vehicles (MAVs)". The MAV project's goals was to develop a microdrone whose largest dimension was no more than 6 inches; would carry a day-night imager; have an endurance of about two hours; and be very low cost. At the time, these were thought of as military weapons which would operate with a high degree of autonomy to be used in the squad-level combat environment. MAVs capable of hovering and vertical flight would be used to scout out buildings for urban combat and counter terrorist operations. A MAV could be included in a pilot's survival kit. A downed pilot could use it to keep track of enemy search parties, or as airborne radio relays to search and rescue units.

The phase-one DARPA study ended in 2001, and was followed by a phase-two study that focused on particular vendors with an intent to develop MAVs closer to operational specification. A number of different MAVs were developed as part of these DARPA efforts.

At the time, I didn't realize I was glimpsing the future.

Then, just ten years later, it was a reality in a university research setting (the video you posted). And only a few years later, at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea, Intel was flying a swarm of 1,218 Intel drones doing "digital fireworks" displays.

From early concept to huge swarms in about 20 years. Amazing.

LOL...good thinking. And they would definitely conclude “Planet Earth: No sign of intelligent life”

Thanks for the dining tip. I can’t imagine there are many choices in Brush, CO. I see on Yellow Pages there’s a place called “Meat and Potatoes.” Now THAT is a great restaurant name!

We sheeple don’t have a clue of what’s in our Skunkworks.
CWII won’t be anything like what most here think it will be.

Looks like you need some new technology to eliminate double-posting!

I liked the book UFOs in Wartime by Mack Maloney (Berkley Books,2011). After various fascinating war reports he had one section that was chilling about missile silos at Malmstrom Air Force Base near Grat Falls, Montana, after strange craft reports.

Warnings came in one after another that ten of the ICBM nuclear missiles were inoperable due to malfunctions of their guidance systems. Crews took all night to repair and re-set them.

The book's author said it was fortunate that date March 16, 1967 was not chosen by an enemy for an attack or the missiles would have been useless.(p.216-218)

At Minot Air Fore Base in North Dakota which housed B-52s and ICBM missile silos in July, 1967 several men reported they saw an unknown flying object moving from silo to silo and stopping over each one. Latser a signal flashed saying "Launch in Progress."

They were able to rush to command "Inhibit" on each silo's controls. They said if one "Inhibit" had failed, a nuclear missile would have launched. The base commander and staff issued a statement the next day that "nothing had happened."

I couldn't find that skit on YouTube, but I did find this...Jonathan Winters on Flying Saucers. Those were the days. Sigh.

Jonathan Winters video. Wow. Thanks.

My reference was to a vinyl LP(!) comedy album. Now that TV and YouTube have been invented I guess now I can see as well as hear the performers. What wonders these days.

Somebody should tell Biden. He can stop hand-changing the sides of his stacks of 45s to hear music on the old phonograph.

I didn’t think that the drones had been around since the 40’s.
