NFT: NYT - off world ufo technology confirmed and... no one cares

mattlawson : 7/27/2020 3:34 pm
This report has been rumored to be in the works for a while, I expect more of these to drop as the sources become comfortable with going public, but I wonder if normal people who do not follow this topic closely are seeing more and more newsworthy information presented these days.

TBH - I'm wondering why this isn't a bigger story - this should be everywhere. What do you all think? Disinformation? Nothing to see here? Seems like kind of a big deal to say conclusively in the NY Times and have it verified that "we can't make" these things, they are from "off-world" and "not made on this earth."

I mean this isn't the National Enquirer gang...

Quote:
Eric W. Davis, an astrophysicist who worked as a subcontractor and then a consultant for the Pentagon U.F.O. program since 2007, said that, in some cases, examination of the materials had so far failed to determine their source and led him to conclude, “We couldn’t make it ourselves.”

The constraints on discussing classified programs — and the ambiguity of information cited in unclassified slides from the briefings — have put officials who have studied U.F.O.s in the position of stating their views without presenting any hard evidence.

Mr. Davis, who now works for Aerospace Corporation, a defense contractor, said he gave a classified briefing to a Defense Department agency as recently as March about retrievals from “off-world vehicles not made on this earth.”

Mr. Davis said he also gave classified briefings on retrievals of unexplained objects to staff members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Oct. 21, 2019, and to staff members of the Senate Intelligence Committee two days later.

"nobody cares" can mean a lot of things.

Part of that is people don't really know exactly what this means or what the impact and/or next steps are.

I guess we can all shake fists at the clouds. That would be one response. Or we could have unfettered panic. Or we can wait to figure out more information

But it is pretty clear that something remarkable is being slowly revealed to human kind. Yes, it is getting featured prominently in the NYT and other publications. Aside from that, I don't see it on the evening news or in news feeds aside from the occasional British or Canadian outlet.

I think maybe what I'm getting at, is for those of us who follow this subject closely, feeling that we are not alone in the Universe and are likely being visited by beings not from Earth (I don't know where they are from either another dimension or planet in our own), it creates a feeling of awe, of yearning to know more. I would hope that if so called non-believers who see that the U.S. and other governments are actively researching these craft, might also feel that sense of wonder and really question our place in the Universe.
I think it is a very large leap  
Mike from Ohio : 7/27/2020 4:56 pm : link
to suggest that this article suggests we are being visited by beings from other worlds or other dimensions.

Humans have been sending probes and telescopes into the universe for decades for data gathering and scientific learning purposes. If other beings are actually traveling to our planet, is it likely that they can simply jump off a ship and survive here, or that they can travel here in a single lifetime?

I believe there is other life in the galaxy. I think most people do. What I think most don't believe is that other beings are visiting our planet. When proof of a visitor is found, I think you will see the reaction you are now imagining.

What reaction are we supposed to have? Are we supposed to mobilize to seek out other life? Should we start to play out scenarios of alien encounters? I'm not really sure why it matters on the extent that people care.

Pretty marked difference between someone’s faith and belief system, and potential evidence of discovering non-Earth materials. There are real scientific and public safety questions to debate if something otherworldly was discovered.

I suspect with more diverse scrutiny, there would be simple a explanation on the origin of the material. And that the likely reason there isn’t more scrutiny is because the government agency who is looking into this, wasn’t in on the secret of the agency who produced it.

used to be pretty skeptical about these types of claims, but am now 70-80% convinced that we have been visited by extraterrestrials, and that they have probably been observing us for more than a thousand years.

The general consensus is that life is most likely to occur on a planet orbiting an F, G, or K star. (The sun is a G star.) The problem is that about 75% of the stars in the galaxy are M class red dwarfs, which are extremely dim. Planets orbiting red dwarfs are therefore not considered to be good candidates for the development of life, although some astronomers think otherwise. (Fifty of the closest 63 stars to our sun are red dwarfs.)

Great post!

81_Great_Dane : 7/27/2020 8:38 pm : link
and on one level I'd be thrilled to find out this is true. I'm not thrilled now, though, because:

"We couldn't make it ourselves" isn't the same as "Not from this Earth." Because "ourselves" could mean the USA, and another country could have secret technology. Could, but probably not. This isn't the same as an announcement that we've found alien stuff.

Also, as much as I love Star Trek, I also know enough history to know that when a technologically superior civilization encounters a technologically inferior one, it's almost always catastrophic for the technologically inferior civilization. Best case scenario is when the inferior civilization decides to fully embrace the new tech, as Japan did in the 2nd half of the 19th century — which led to victory in the Russo-Japanese war and then disaster in WWII. That rapid modernization also caused massive cultural upheaval. I would not be eager for a "First Contact" scenario.

"Kinda scary, right?" That is exactly the implied message behind the government released info. The new History Channel show Unidentified, is chock full of former military & secret service insiders, who have suddenly decided that they can't remain silent any longer. Each one's message is clear, this is a threat. Is it really? People have been reporting sightings for about 100 years. (or longer), If it truly was a threat, we'd all be speaking 'Martian' by now.
I recently watched Steven Greer's Close Encounters Of The Fifth Kind, and while there was a lot of things posed as facts, that I just don't believe, they do mention the same fear based stance these people are taking.
I'm not sure its scary at all. We have so little power against

After re-reading my reply to j_rud's post, I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, the reply wasn't meant towards anyone, just the constant threat narrative. Hey, this phenomenon could very well be a threat, but after all these years, we probably would know by now.
As for what it could be, sure all bets are on. Interplanetary, dimensional, or time travelers, could be anything. Witnesses to the Rendlesham Forest incident at Bentwaters AFB in England in the 80's, have laid claim to time travelers. The interesting thing about time travel is that if ever becomes possible, then time travelers would be here now, theoretically...

Pretty much anyone in the field of sociology or a related field or even me would love to visit a living society of Neanderthals if possible. However I understand the point in that the difference between aliens and humans would probably be a far wider gulf.

IMHO, it’s pretty simple - natural resources. Same reason we explore our planet, mine for coal, dig for oil, and have begun to explore the immediate vicinity of our solar system (including comets passing through)

One thing we can generally agree on is there is a certain set of physical laws in the universe. One of which is something cannot be powered in a vacuum - it needs some kind of force to be applied. That requires a form of fuel

While any extraterrestrial beings visiting earth are light years more advanced than we are, it’s no stretch to assume they still require resources to power their civilization. And if they have the technology to explore other worlds, it’s no stretch to assume they’d visit a planet like earth to search for and mine said resources.

Generally I agree with the notion that we, as a civilization/species, probably aren’t all that fascinating to a species that can explore space. Would be kind of equivalent to us being curious when we see a family of animals in their habitat. Interesting, but mostly indifferent to whatever our purpose is.

I think one compelling case is the Ariel School mass sighting in Zimbabwe in 1994. Many school children came away with images and thoughts about humans needing to take care of the planet. They had never had such concerns prior to the sighting.

Similarly, many military nuclear facilities have has UFO activity along with unexplained deactivation of the missiles.

It is quite possible that whoever/whatever these beings are, they are trying to keep a bunch of barely evolved monkeys from destroying their own planet.

There are myriad scientific implications to determining if someone has discovered a non-Earth object. It would be the scientific discovery of our lifetime. There is no faith or leap of faith component necessary. Just scientific analysis.

If the full analysis of the government has determined an object is of unknown origin — the government should allow the private or educational research sector to review it.

The same type of rigor should be applied, that is applied to antiquities. And just like with the spiritual relics you described, after full rigor, it likely turns out there isn’t anything hocus pocus about them. I’d wager that would be the result of a public analysis of the objects described in the article.

Numerous associates of the Pentagon program, with high security clearances and decades of involvement with official U.F.O. investigations, told us they were convinced such crashes have occurred, based on their access to classified information. But the retrieved materials themselves, and any data about them, are completely off-limits to anyone without clearances and a need to know.

The subhead on the Insider article captures it all:

Quote:
Reporting on the Pentagon program that’s investigating unidentified flying objects is not about belief. It’s about a vigilant search for facts.


If there is a serious scientific anomaly, the goal isn’t to prove or disprove the existence of little green men, it’s to understand the origin of the objects (likely to end in a common sense outcomes).

All kinds of insights can be gleaned that aren’t hocus pocus — 1) is it crashed satellite debris that’s been atomically altered due to radiation exposure in space 2) is it earth bound and been altered due to environmental factors 3) is it earth bound and evidence of advanced or accidental factors we or another nation employed 4) is there some factor to truly believe the age or composition truly couldn’t originate on Earth.

Any of those factors present exponentially more relevant scientific and security findings, than proving there are or aren’t aliens or proving there are or are not gods.

Just read about that Ariel School sighting in '94 because, to be honest, I never heard of about it. From an article:

“Whaddya wanna know? Actually, it’ll be simpler if I just shoot. It happened, OK. Sixty-two kids between the ages of about six and 12 saw the aliens land and get out of their little ships. When the kids returned to class they were completely freaked and couldn’t stop nattering about little men who looked a bit like Michael Jackson. The teachers told them to shut up, as teachers are wont to do, and classes proceeded."
And 26 years later not one kid has changed their account

there's a documentary coming out about it soon. https://www.arielphenomenon.com/

James Fox paused his documentary as well due to COVID. He's working on a new release plan now and rumors are it's huge.

All I can say is in following this topic for 2 decades I have never seen, nor did I ever expect to see, this level of forward mainstream attention.

It's not a belief anymore, it's not a fringe topic either. The NY Times story from Dec 2017 changed everything and it remains their #1 media request in the history of the paper. It's happening, but I'm still a little weirded out about why now....

the difficulty seems to be that the government has no oversight. Look at the crux of the Wilson / Davis memo - rumored to be the subject of a forthcoming NYT article to validate its central claims. That is, the government does not have oversight as private companies maintain purview, it's wrapped in special access, most in Govt have no need to know, and it's not subject to FOIA. So basically - whatever the NYT can get their sources to admit given this restrictive context is going to be miraculous. Then again, Tom DeLonge has performed some miracles of his own.

What if these phenomena are simply here and always have been.

Instantaneous lift and change of direction indicates no propulsion, but an energy source described by Bob Lazar 30 years ago, anti-gravity. Do we have that ability now? Did we in the oughts? 90's? 80's? 70's? 60's?

of UFO's has been well known for decades, the world has bigger issues than aliens to worry about.

They first have to wrap their head around that either one central group is controlling the secret information (and evidence) and/or that multiple governments, some of whom aren't friendly with one another, are uniting to keep the information secret.

There are a bunch of wingnut Art Bell followers who buy into the idea that the US is in communication with aliens and even know of abductions and allow them to happen. While we might like to think the US is the center of the universe, somebody has to collect debris from Mongolia, New Zealand, Bolivia and Albania and abscond with it before anyone has put a camera on the wreckage, or photographed the green men who resemble Michael Jackson (maybe that's how he moonwalked??).

Even the Rendlesham Forest sightings in the UK didn't involve any recovered material. Just curious sightings near what? An air force base!!

Our sources told us that “A.A.V.” does not refer to vehicles made in any country — not Russian or Chinese — but is used to mean technology in the realm of the truly unexplained. They also assure us that their briefings are based on facts, not belief.

If and when there is credible reporting, from a credible publication, that a private entity is in possession of something interesting then I am all ears.

From all of the Times reporting so far, all I gather is the US government is in possession of something they cannot attribute an origin. That on its own would be amazing.

exist somewhere in the Universe, but the fact many (most?) sightings occur near military installations doesn't mean they (unless 'they' = Russian/Chinese) are studying our weapons/technology/tactics. The far more likely scenario is that the sightings are of military technology that is being detected.

And of course 'reverse engineering' exists. If the US shot down a Chinese UAV (or AAV if you prefer) over a military installation, of course the military is going to reverse engineer it and study everything about it. The same way the Iranians did when they managed to take down a US drone a few years back.

If it's a military project, it likely comes from 'black' parts of the overall military budget. In theory, a select few in Congress should have oversight.

Which is exactly why the Mark Warner’s and Marco Rubio’s have got this disclosure and oversight now in their defense budget the President must sign, and The NY Times drip is helping to aid that cause.

The 2017 revelation that these UAP’s are truly Unidentified - not ours, not theirs but something else - has led to this moment. There has been a coverup. There is black budget UFO programs. These phenomena are real. The government HAS been studying them. There is a reverse engineering program that has been ongoing.

And Corso and Lazar have exposed aspects of it- and of course there is bullshit that goes along with it. But the central crux of the story has been revealed to be true and more is coming. And to my point - no one really seems to get it or give a shit. This is a HUGE fucking deal to the point where I have to wonder, why now? What are they distracting us from?

The “news” is a credible source like Reid and a credible publication like the Times are describing this in clear terms.

It’s a big news story and a few common sense steps should be taken:

1) present the evidence to the private, public, and educational research sectors

2) come to the very best conclusion to accelerate any scientific or security next steps

Personally, I believe there will be a common sense outcome or that one government agency isn’t in on the secret and this is nothing more than secret, boring, Earth bound R&D is the culprit.

i am not really up on this but could someone explain what we mean by undiscovered elements? An element is defined by the number of protons. We pretty much know them all up to a certain number. The ones we add to the periodic table are the high numbered elements which are unstable in nature and need to be manufactured by humans under special conditions and have a very very short life in the real world.

He's also a nut who was one of the researchers of the supposedly haunted/possessed/whatever Skinwalker Ranch and claimed that a poltergeist followed him home from there. Of course, despite spending years there, he admitted they were able to document any actual evidence.

No one involved in this disclosure uses the word Aliens. They could be extra dimensional and here. There could be 2 earths with time running on polarities. They could be us traveling back through time. It could be ultra terrestrial species. It could be a once earthly civilization gone elsewhere and keeping tabs on us after an ancient cataclysm. Other.... etc, etc, etc.

No one has said aliens - what they have said is unidentified phenomena that is not America, and likely not chinese or russian in craft that defy known physics and we cannot duplicate that technology today... and these same craft have been recorded by credible witnesses for decades particularly around our weapons systems and nukes.

Lazar didn't claim to be at an archeological dig, he claimed that the machine he worked on was found at an archeological dig. He made no claim as to when it was found, just that he believed it was. I understand the skepticism, but if you have some extra time to kill one day, watch his documentary. (if you haven't already) It's on Netflix. They cover a lot of his past, but of course, it is his side of the story. His appearance on Joe Rogan was pretty good as well.

Who hires a guy who never received a degree in science (or possibly not at all) to reverse engineer secret technology?

What qualifications did he ever have to put him in that position to begin with? From there, all of his claims are based on nothing.

If a guy like Lazar is given access to sensitive materials, what does that say about the security and background checks of whomever is guarding those materials??

That's why skeptics latch onto scammers like Lazar. There is not a single credible thing in his background to suggest anything he's said holds water.

I don't believe it but it has always stuck in my head as a good idea if you could pull it off.
False Flag event? You'd never be able to sell it. If it was an attem

to grab power and money using aliens as the justification, people aren't that stupid. We could put all the resources of the world into a singular focus and we'd still get buttfucked by aliens if they had the ability to come here from some far-away time or place.

I go back and forth on the guy. However, his case is not clear cut for a few reasons. First if he is just a random guy who made this all up why has his house been raided twice by the FBI with the most recent one just a few years ago. Second, why did the Los Alamos labs say he never worked there when his name is in the phone book and he is in the local paper listed as a scientist there. Finally, his social security number is gone and well as other key personal documents for somebody that made up a bunch of crap somebody went through a lot of work to erase and discredit him. Not to mention he never wrote a book or charged money speaking at UFO convention circuits the guy has not made one dime off his story. With that all said his story has a ton of holes and not a single person after all these years will verify the guy was ever at S4 or knew who he was. So that is why I am mixed on the topic
More will come out about him - I think there’s a lot to it.

Back to the OP - from the follow up the next day just so that all is not pinned on Eric Davis despite his credibility:

"Numerous associates of the Pentagon program, with high security clearances and decades of involvement with official U.F.O. investigations, told us they were convinced such crashes have occurred, based on their access to classified information."
That explains

However, the biggest problem with that quote is the word "convinced" so they not seen any craft or crashed parts if they exist where are they at and who is managing research on them. That info I bet will never see the light of day.

Classified top secret. There has been a coverup. It’s all being confirmed right now, if you told me 20 years ago this was going to happen I’d have said you’re crazy. To the point I’m wondering what’s the trick being pulled... why right now
I don't think anything really hinges on Lazar

There's nothing original or credible about his story. I think anyone could fabricate a similar story on top of some small bits of truth.

That said I do think something is up here. What logical reason would our government need to publicly announce they are studying these things? For Davis to state "off world vehicles?"

Just spitballing but maybe we are about to have a major jump in technology that couldn’t be explained otherwise

Or for those conspiracy lovers we have been in contact with them and have to start to catch the public up before having “first contact “

Those patents filed through the navy are pretty darn interesting. Maybe we’ve had a reverse engineering breakthrough after all

is so vast that it's vain to think any civilization could ever traverse it. The nearest star to earth (other than the sun) is Alpha Centauri which is 4.4 light-years away. One light year is 6 trillion miles (9 trillion km).

They have mastered the technology to travel through wormholes

A wormhole is a speculative structure linking disparate points in spacetime, and is based on a special solution of the Einstein field equations. Theoretical models of wormholes postulate it is an adelic homogeneous subset whose imaginary field is an ideal in a Z-graded ring.
