US Navy Drafting New Guidelines for Reporting UFOs

The U.S. Navy is drafting new guidelines for pilots and other employees to report encounters with "unidentified aircraft."

The new effort comes in response to more sightings of unknown, advanced aircraft flying into or near Navy strike groups or other sensitive military facilities and formations, according to the service.

"There have been a number of reports of unauthorized and/or unidentified aircraft entering various military-controlled ranges and designated airspace in recent years," the Navy said in a statement to Politico, which first reported the move.

"For safety and security concerns, the Navy and the [U.S. Air Force] takes these reports very seriously and investigates each and every report."

"As part of this effort," it told Politico, "the Navy is updating and formalizing the process by which reports of any such suspected incursions can be made to the cognizant authorities. A new message to the fleet that will detail the steps for reporting is in draft."

The initiative comes amid increasing interest from lawmakers and the public following the release of classified files from the Defense Intelligence Agency that revealed the funding of projects that investigated UFOs, wormholes, alternate dimensions and other obscure topics that typically leads to the conspiracy-theory fringes of the web.

There is a lot of history here—the classic on the subject is:

https://www.amazon.com/UFOs-National-Security-State-Chronology/dp/1571743170

Disinformation is the game—the American public is the target.

We pay people to lie to us—is this a great country or what? ;-)

(I love the country, actually. Most people are great. It is the large institutions that creep me out.)

Where’s Art Bell? God I love a mystery. If they’d just shoot the SOB down and recover it we’d find out it’s an eighth graders class project.

A few points here:

First, just because the rules change to permit/require the reporting of UFO's (so introduced because of historic discouragement of such) doesn't mean that the discouragement of such reporting as a practical matter will go away. Pilots will most likely still be ridiculed for reporting UFO's and may be just as unlikely now as in the past to file reports on them.

Second, just because reports are filed doesn't mean that the Navy (or other branch) will actually do anything about such reports (i.e., they will gather dust in files).

Three, the fact that sightings of UFO's will be reported still doesn't mean that the public will be told.

It sounds like what is going on here is that Congress has asked the Navy to report UFO sightings and the Navy has said "OK" and someone at the Pentagon has said "let's drop a new "rule" in the dusty old rule book and report this to Politico like we're actually going to do something about it. UFO problem dealt with...end of story."

If they’d just shoot the SOB down

We've been shooting at them since the beginning of the sightings by aircraft going back to after WWII. Not even close to hitting them.

Whatever these things are, they are not new, they are not vulnerable to being shot, they are always too fast and too maneuverable, and, so far, they do not seem to pose a threat.

I notice that Dr. Hal Puthoff is on the list of citations in the patent. He’s up there with Jaques Vallee for trying to encourage the scientific establishment to look at the UFO phenomena seriously.

But isn’t that patent essentially the same type of microwave propulsion that the British DIY-er was putting together a few years back?

They do like hanging around nuclear facilities, though:
