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...

*snip*

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.

Great, now we will have green people calling orange man xenophobic

I bet Adam Shiff has been probed a few times....

I wouldn’t worry about that too much. First, there is no real evidence, that I’m aware of, of where this tech actually came from. I believe in Occam’s Razor when there is no evidence of anything accept that it exists, in this case I think it most probable that DARPA likely made a breakthrough in superconductivity and/or some kind of exotic material(s) to explain these crazy ‘aircraft’.

Second, a faithful belief that other more advanced space faring races exist, does not erase the fact that there is zero, absolute zero, evidence that any other beings, other than earthlings, exist anywhere outside of our tiny corner of the universe.

I’m just sayin, lets not put the cart before the horse. And just so you know where I stand on extra-terrestrials etc...etc... I’m open to them being real, I just need some kind of solid evidence before I can believe.

“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”

No they have not.

Although this post:
“As soon as Washington finds a way to exploit the issue the UFO phenomena...”
is probably far more accurate than the author presumes, to wit: UFO’s have given the military great cover stories for all the aircraft and other secret technology that our military has tested/developed through the years. So yes, Washington has found a way to exploit the UFO phenomena.

Thanks fieldmarshaldj. Lotta chatter about it of late. This morning I watched a show on Amazon Prime about the remote viewing program the CIA, then Army, and now some other agency has been running since 1969.

” When you’re playing with radars that are that sensitive, there’s a real possibility that what you are seeing isn’t real. “

Agreed. And then when multispectral sensors and pilot’s eyes see the same thing at the same place and the same time what’s the explanation?

“the videos appear to show well-defined solid objects”

That’s not consistent with pilots’ descriptions. What they described was a sort of foggy enclosure or tic-tac shape with a rotating cube inside. From a greater distance maybe these resemble a solid object.

“Why would you send test planes against a US Navy carrier battle group, twice and risk damage to that group and or your test vehicle?”

Happened a whole lot more than twice. Maybe hundreds of times. But I agree this is the best argument against these being hyper-classified U.S. drone or manned vehicle technology.

But still, there’s a bizarre resemblance between these flying tic tacs and drawings of plasma-encased anti-gravity vehicles in a U.S. military patent application.

I don’t know what the hell to think.

On the pilots’ video they appeared extremely well-defined.

They are NO UFOs from outer space there is no planet with in 45 light years that may even hold life.
Remember the jump jet it showed in in many places before it was made public and Black Bird.
No one was put at risk.

Maybe that’s why they haven’t been back that often since. We have radar all over now- and much better than 1947.

It would also explain the more than a few accounts of them crashing.

Actually they are unidentified according to the USN. As to whether they come from outer space? Is is possible, yes. I would wager if you want to go the non-earthling route the critters would be inter-dimensional more than anything.

All that being said if they are experimental craft they have to have anti-gravity capabilities to do the maneuvers they were doing. This totally destroys Boeing/Airbus etc... and other conventional airline and space technology, making it akin to the horse and buggy and a top of the line Porsche. If they are make public why would you spend another penny on a 767, F35 or SLS booster?

Anti inertia ... 90 degree turns at over three thousamd mph is normally a killer. Yet ‘they’ do it.

but if they are manipulating gravity they would not feel it as a 90 degree sudden turn.

Cancelling cancels inertia? Are you sure about that? A craft if so arranged that it is an internal inertial system to itself will be ‘immune’ to gravity since gravity and inertia are so closely related.

I’m guessing they fly in something like an ‘other gravity tube’... the tube is rotated so for occupants every direction is straight ahead. It would also answer why there’s no sound - and no ‘wave of energy’ that moves tree limbs, air or causes drag.

This of it this way.... To the people inside the craft they feel like they are standing still. Space around them is moving.

They don’t feel any inertia because in their inertial reference frame they are not moving.
