I’ve seen the saucers: Obama weighs in as US interest in UFOs rises

For some time, expressing interest in unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, has been deemed mostly unacceptable in wider society. But attitudes appear to be changing in America this week, with luminaries from Barack Obama to the former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal sharing their thoughts.
Marco Rubio urges US to take UFOs seriously ahead of government report Read more Obama was asked about the issue of UFOs during an interview on Tuesday, the former president confirming “footage and records” of unidentified objects exist.
Much of the newfound, and newly sincere, interest in UFOs, this week appears to stem from a report on CBS’s 60 Minutes on Sunday, which tackled “the US government’s grudging acknowledgment” of UFOs.
With the defense department and intelligence agencies due to deliver a much-anticipated official report on mysterious aerial sightings next month, 60 Minutes interviewed a number of credible witnesses, including a former navy pilot who said he had seen unidentified aerial phenomena – the government’s preferred term – “every day for at least a couple years”.

During WWII we took some saucer looking planes and brought them back, and tried to make them fly, they were kept in Area 51. One or two were seen in Florida trying to stay in air, there was an issue with their stability. WE brought scientists here to USA, who were working on them. It was a top secret thing.
I do not believe they ever solved that flying stability issue. No wings were issue, and maybe the amount of thrust is enough now, but these saucers could be the result of those planes. They were the UFO sighting over the decades, but our government would never identify source.
I take all of this with a grain of salt, knowing we had control of what Germany was working on, and the scientists. Will it be reality? Who knows, its all hush-hush!

Question, why would a anyone want to take a perfectly good design (planes with wings), and make some without wings? Doesn’t stand to reason. Disks just don’t seem like a good design for flight, other tha. Rotating like Frisbee.

Don’t know ....but it was Trump that signed the directive to reveal information about the UFO.
So ...what is Trump’s endgame here.
How is he involved and why does he want us to know?
And why hasn’t Biden overturned this yet?
And is the vaccine to protect us from aliens and infections they may bring to our world?

So he’s saying that he’s seen footage of stuff he can’t explain? What that says to me is that the black-budget stuff was kept hidden from him while he was in office. Thank God!

Nothing at all wrong with being skeptical. I will admit that I don't know and for the most part don't have any firm guesses as to what is going on.
But it is fascinating. And a lot of skeptics are involved in trying to get to the bottom of it.
BTW, the scientists and others who have worked with abductees almost all say, "I don't know what is going on, but something is happening to these people because they are extremely traumatized."
As to the expense of that book, I don't plan to buy it. Way out of my price range.
That said, there are youtube videos on the MIT conference that cover most of the major points of discussion.

Thanks.

People who are radioactive. The song is about what remains after a nuclear holocaust. Can I have some of your purple berries, yes I've been eating them for six to seven weeks now probably keep both of us alive. Finding food that isn't contaminated. Wooden ships on the water very free. There are no more motors so it is back to sails and wind so you can travel to safer places. I have always known what the song is about even when they first released the album. I do like it when Neil plays with them, but Crosby, Stills, and Nash are great songwriters. Colin from West Yorkshire, Uk I have a very early copy of the Crosby Stills and Nash Album. In the "Purple Berries" conversation, the sound level for one of the speakers is very low. It seems to have been made louder in later versions. Has anyone else got the same thing on their copy? Dave from Minnesota Jackson Browne gave his answer to this song with For Everyman, basically saying that if they wanted to sail off to another world, that was their choice, but he felt compelled to stay here and try to improve this one. The Blue Bus Driver from Maui Aloha from Maui. 3am wake up with this thought passed on to me while sleeping. Take it as you will: "I can tell by your coat you're from the other side. There's just one thing I got to know, can you tell me please who won?" POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE MEANING (besides wars): Coat equals suit. Won means a race and race means the rat race. Your mileage may vary, just passing it along and if you like this song, check out The Blue Bus on Mixcloud. Mahalo! Shawn from Windsor, Ontario Canada It sounds to me like silver beings on the shores are inter dimensional. I know, a bit much for some people to grasp. Having come to try and help answer our anguished cries, they're leaving... cause the powerful god playing humans in command have disregarded there message. Wooden ships possibly metaphor's for ark's. The difference in coats and being from the other side might refer to the galaxy. That fact that they say all human feelings die, might suggest again being from another galaxy or dimension. Great tune and I hope if such loving nurturing beings exist they intervene to end the tyranny. One love people. Peace!! Mark from Lunenburg, Ma This song plays in the movie "1969" as the main character and his girlfriend are passing an Army convoy on their way to Canada so he can avoid the draft. (He ultimately doesn't go through with it). It's the quintessential 60's scene. It was the perfect choice for the image. Barry from New York, Nc I like how the song is presented in the movie WOODSTOCK. It fits in perfectly during the night time work scenes. Also I like how the organ track keeps on going long after the rest of the song fades away. Kipp from Bowen Island, Bc I always looked at the first verse as a meeting between the two victims in the song, "If you smile at me, I will understand" meaning that, regardless of being on enemy teams, that they must work together if they actually want to live and be free, taking care of eachother and feeding on "purple berries". Michael from Pittsburgh, Pa Obviously an anti-nuke/anti-war song. The narrative is about two people meeting after a nuclear holocaust. One says that he can tell by the coat the other is wearing that he was from the other side of the war - maybe it is a military uniform coat - and then asks who won, which seems to imply sarcastically that nobody did. I can imagine someone sailing around after the fiery end of the world and coming across someone from the opposing side, and they have this survivor's conversation. We can tell it's about a post-nuclear environment because of the discussion about the berries, which one of the characters has been eating for weeks and hasn't got sick once. The Jefferson Airplane version is also great, by the way. Paul from Claremont, Ca how do they get that guitar sound (the lead guitar) in this song? and, btw, i wish people only commented about the song. fred offered his personal view in order to underscore how great the song is. Wayne from Salem, Va This is my favorite Crosby,Stills and Nash song. The opening chords are hypnotic. And the words and the three part harmony. A classic all the way around. I prefer the live Woodstock version over the studio. Jefferson Airplane do a great job of it on their "Volunteers' album. Buy Stephen Stills' cd "Just Roll Tape" from 2007. It is just him and his acoustic guitar in the studio in 1968. Three months prior to the first CSN album. He does a nice job on "Wooden Ships". very free and easy' Ed from Raleigh, Nc To be clear, on the Woodstock recording, Crosby says it's a science fiction song, so holocaust does not refer to the Holocaust, but some imaginary future one. He said, "the holocaust, whatever it may be." Ralph from Irvine, Ca Congratulations, Rich from Bellevue, you have exceeded the ignorance you complain of in Mike. This also shows your Arrogance. You complain about Mike complaining about Rich. If you listen to the beginning to this song on the Woodstock recording David Crosby says that the song has to do with the holocaust and they are escaping in the "Wooden Ships". Rob from Wilkes-barre, Much as I despise the so-called anti-war movement, both then and now, THIS IS AN AMAZING SONG!! The whole album is tops, in fact -- Songfacts Writers ©2021 Songfacts®, LLC

It’s a flying wing design.
Rotating circular platform is for stability at low speeds.
It combines gyroscopic stability, VTOL, and boundary layer control all in one package.
All available in 1947 technology.
