UFO/UAP Thread

How sad. How pathetic. The worthless pseudo-intellectual/psychobabble chatter that continuously repeats over at another site's mega-long thread ostensibly devoted to discussing UFOs.
I suppose such waste of the usual gang of participant's time and effort there is a tad preferable to say a chronic gambling addiction. Or drug addiction.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch....

The woman's experience was imo for sure valid. But her subsequent interpretations - firstly ' maybe secret gov high tech' , then 'biblical nephilim blah blah', is where it goes off the rails.
Everything she related bears all the hallmarks of the supernatural. Some cannot process that, for various reasons. Too cringe-worthy and peer-group ostracizing to entertain anything other than 'nuts & bolts' possibilities.

Tee hee hee. Giggle giggle giggle.

LOL! I knew it all along!

It's the blue curving path ending in...something, that has my interest. Possibly US military's symbolic 'one back at you' to Putin's much publicized announcement a few years back, boasting of their newly developed unstoppable maneuverable hypersonic glide reentry nukes. Or perhaps an Aurora follow-on hypersonic 'prompt global-strike' piloted and/ or autonomous plane. MIC, and the usual gang of investors in such, always the winners. Sadly.

Oh, I don’t know…seems like we’re making some progress. : ) What do you think of the study team NASA is putting together to investigate UAP claims?

I admire their determination to attempt getting 'real answers' through enhanced data gathering means and latest analytic techniques no doubt.

That said, my long standing position remains the same. Doomed to never amount to more than just that - data gathering. Thicker catalogs, but never a real breakthrough in understanding. Their strictly materialist scientific approach to the field will surely allow no room for a supernatural explanation. It's conceivable ETs could be a part of it all, but imo a very remote chance. I refer you back to the link in my #11 above, wegs.

"A UFO mysteriously appeared on a US intelligence agency's logo in what officials later suggested had been a mistake.

The flying saucer was spotted on the new seal of the National Intelligence Manager-Aviation (NIM-Aviation], the main air element of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

A spokesman said someone had “erroneously posted an unofficial and incorrect logo", indicating that it may have been an internal prank.

NIM-Aviation works to assess potential security threats from the air.

It was involved in the compilation of a report to Congress last year on research into UFOs, which are referred to by the Pentagon as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).

The altered logo also featured a Russian Sukhoi Su-57 fighter jet and a triangular-shaped aerial vehicle, all flying over a map of the United States.

The flying saucer was first noticed by a UFO enthusiast who posted about it on Twitter.

He wrote: "UFO in the official seal? Hahahhahaha. Radical. I still can’t believe they did this."

A spokesman later made clear it had not been intentional.

US intelligence has shifted its approach to UAPs, with the phenomena being taken more seriously.

The report to Congress in 2021 concluded that the vast majority of sightings by US military personnel could not be explained.

However. it said in many cases the UAPs were real objects because they had been picked up by multiple sensors.

Highly advanced aircraft

The report was unable to rule out the possibility some of them could be highly advanced aircraft operated by foreign adversaries.

Pentagon researchers reviewed 144 sightings but said only one of them could be confidently explained.

The report was delivered to the House and Senate intelligence committees by Avril Haines, Joe Biden's director of national intelligence.

While the report was released publicly a classified annex was made available only to US senators, which led conspiracy theorists to speculate about what was in it.

I just looked and the NIM-Aviation logo with the flying saucer has been removed and replaced with a new sanitized logo.

Good article. Doesn't really have anything new, but it sums things up nicely.

NASA administrator Bill Nelson is on record as saying, "I've talked to those pilots, and they know they saw something, and their radars locked onto it, and then all of a sudden, it was here," as he looked down, "on the surface, and then, it's there," as he pointed up. "And they don't know what it is, and we don't know what it is. We hope it's not an adversary here on Earth that has that kind of technology. But it's something. And so, this is a mission that we're constantly looking --- what, who is out there?"

Former CIA Director John Brennan has said, "Some of the phenomena we're going to be seeing continues to be unexplained and might, in fact, be some type of phenomenon that is the result of something that we don't yet understand."

Speaking about the UAP Preliminary Assessment, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe has said, "Look, the bottom line is, unidentified aerial phenomena --- many, many cases we're able to explain it away for reasons like visual disturbances or weather phenomena, or foreign adversaries and their technologies, or even our own experimental technologies with certain aircraft and vehicles, but what this report really underscores... is that there are a number of instances --- and the specific number remains classified --- but a number of instances where we've ruled all of that out."

"And there are technologies that we don't have and frankly that we are not capable of defending against --- based on those things that we've seen, multiple sensors, in other words, where not just people visually see it but where it's picked up on radar, where it's seen on satellites. And so, you know, it's an issue of national security, and as the person who was informing policymakers about national security threats, it's not good to say, 'Gosh, we don't have good answers.' And so, we have to have a larger discussion to try and figure out specifically what this is all about."
