The Navy acknowledges UFOs — so why aren't they on Washington's radar?
The Hill ^ | Christopher Mellon

Posted on 11/04/2019 7:00:28 AM PST by RoosterRedux

In what could be a precursor to further stunning developments, the U.S. Navy has publicly acknowledged that the advanced aircraft depicted in several recently declassified gun-camera videos are UFOs, or what the Navy prefers to call “Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon” (UAPs). “The Navy designates the objects contained in these videos as unidentified aerial phenomena,” acknowledged Joseph Gradisher, spokesman for the deputy chief of naval operations, referring to the bizarre vehicles that have brazenly operated in restricted U.S. military airspace.

Strangely, this shocking announcement seems to have scarcely been noticed by Congress or the Trump administration. Is the information too jarring and radical to process? Are U.S. government officials in denial? One can only wonder, given the glaring disconnect between the Navy’s announcement and the limited government actions to protect U.S. military personnel and the nation as a whole.

The vehicles observed and recorded by U.S. Navy fighter pilots seem impervious to altitude or the elements; they are able to maneuver above 80,000 feet; they can hover and then instantly accelerate to supersonic and even hypersonic speeds; they have very low radar cross-sections and use a means of propulsion and control that does not appear to involve combustion, exhaust, rotors, wings or flaps.

Since the Navy asserts these are not U.S. aircraft, we are confronted by the daunting prospect that a potential adversary of the United States has achieved the ability to render our most sophisticated aircraft and air defense systems obsolete...

I’ve interviewed numerous active-duty and retired military personnel who have encountered these mysterious vehicles. Without exception they express grave concern for their colleagues and near disbelief that our government is not reacting more vigorously.

My old grandfather once said he’ll believe in aliens once one of them shows up as a guest on the Tonight Show (Johnny Carson).

The Germans were working on anti-gravity in the 40's during WW2. A lot of the German rocket scientists fled to the West to avoid capture by the Russians.

Who's to say, the Anti-Grav scientists didn't do the same thing.

The first true 'flying saucer' sightings started in 1947. Who knows what development have been made since then.

And, no, I am not dismissing the sightings, texts or descriptions from the ages. Only saying the technology developments necessary for this type of flight are recent developments.

Adam Schiff is an alien. A Romulan who had plastic surgery to hide his true identity

I wonder if an EMP would affect them?

Rumor is that a powerful radar set at White Sands disabled the one that crashed at Roswell.

That was 1947, I think "they" would have hardened their systems since then.

....vigorously do what? Against what?

I tend to agree with you. Some people would like to think that this ‘visiting’ race is just a thousand or two-thousand years more advanced. It could very well be that they are 20-million years more advanced. Why would you bother announcing yourself? All you’d do is spook 95-percent of people on Earth.

We are unable to communicate with ordinary honey bee societies.

Until we learn to do that, there is no hope of communicating with aliens

A little history for those who don’t know:

Old news—been there, done that.

“this shocking announcement”

How is it shocking? The government has acknowledged and investigated “UFO”s for like 70 years. So what is new? It’s not like they gave any evidence these are aliens or something.

Aliens from afar can’t buy ‘speeches’ or large lots of politicians ‘books’... so they don’t count anymore than citizens in flyover.

“if they are earth based it means some other country has developed flying objects far beyond our known science”

A) These “flying objects” might not necessarily even be “flying objects” in the literal sense. Holograms, or plasma phenomenon, could create the appearance of objects that aren’t actually anything solid, which would explain why they don’t seem bound by the laws of inertia or gravity.

B) Just because the Navy says they’re not ours doesn’t mean they’re not ours. Classified stuff is compartmentalized and the Navy may not know about some projects.

Probably ours and the technology is kept secret because if it became commercially available, it would wreck the world's transportation industry.

“As soon as Washington finds a way to exploit the issue the UFO phenomena...”

Well, I guess that means they haven’t figured out a way to use UFO panic to declare war on another country in the Middle East yet :D

“We learned long after the fact, that the stealth aircraft was tested years ago at Area 51.”

Yep, they were testing the B2 there in the 70s and didn’t “debut” it to the public until the first Gulf War.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they waited until the Soviet Union collapsed before revealing we had that technology. Who knows what they have now that they are still unwilling to reveal?
