NFT: UFO's

MartyGlickman : 6/15/2021 3:37 pm
With all the recent news surrounding UFO sightings (on radar by military aircraft, ships, pilot visuals) not to mention statements by high level government officials around the world, as well as astronauts, I cannot believe the relative lack of attention this is getting in the media. The implications of these events are potentially world changing.
Needless to say, I am fascinated and exited about the possibilities. So what are these vehicles? My list of possibilities are the following; would love to hear anyone else's ideas on this.....
(1) Hoax perpetrated on government/military
(2) Hoax perpetrated by U.S. Govt.
(3) U.S. technology.
(4) Foreign Govt. technology.
(5) Private Industry technology.
(6) Alien technology.

What else could it be?

UFOs  
ArtVandelay : 7/2/2021 11:31 am : link
I grew up in town really close to a small private airport. Many years ago a bunch of single engine prop planes used to take-off at night, form into a V shape and turn on bright colorful lights. The next day I would hear about 100’s of UFO sightings reported in the Hudson Valley area. So while some of these sightings may be legit UAPs, I always keep in mind that a lot of people are just stupid.
You make a fine point, probably majority of worldwide UFO encounters

Are misidentified and have completely logical and natural explanations. It doesn’t explain it all though. In fact the press releases about official studies miss characterize the actual conclusions to make it seem like it’s less of an issue than it actually is.

No one is seeing all UFO sightings and all pictures of UFO looking things are legitimate unidentified craft that then leads to capabilities beyond next generation tech that we don’t have. But some do.

And as I pointed out earlier if you look at the actual data the higher the quality of THOSE events in these studies that the government has conducted, the more likelihood they are to be unidentified.

UFOs exist.
Case and point  
mattlawson : 7/2/2021 2:20 pm : link
143 of the 144 cases in the recently released UAP confessional report remain unidentified.

Why don’t you take a crack at identifying anything up there since it’s so easily done and you feel instead you can continue to ridicule.
The point..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/2/2021 3:03 pm : link
isn't to identify them, is it?

The point is making the leap that unidentified objects are otherworldly.

Which is exactly why many wonder why you keep posting photos.

OF COURSE that's the ultimate leap that no one here could possibly take from a photograph alone. Which is precisely why I've stated for the record it surprises me that people could be convinced from a photo.

Context matters.

Now, that military professionals have said these phenomena have been captured on multiple radar, video, flir, and seen by multiple eye witnesses to maneuver with capabilities beyond anything we have in our arsenal... that is significant context.

But how can we believe those folks. How can we believe the government which has come out and ADMITTED the media shown and classification of the material is authentic and remains UNKNOWN. How can we possibly rest assured that UFOs do exist with all that out there.

It's probably nothing. Prolly a bird, balloon, or China with a transmedium drone that can operate 24/7 in our oceans and airspace with instantaneous acceleration, cloaking capabilities, and advance knowledge of a classified drill plan. All is fine.

Of course they have better video, but there is zero chance they release it. It's a security issue. The Pentagon went apeshit when the last guy in the white house released some hi def video of our capabilities. I don't trust Lou Elizonda at all, he seems like some of these meatheads I served with. He can't even honestly answer the why now question?
Why now?  
mattlawson : 7/2/2021 7:22 pm : link
December 2017 changed everything. He wouldn’t want to place undue attention on the record on how he got the 3 videos released in the first place.

Also - public pressure to release everything they have has mounted. This is no longer a fringe topic, it’s out in the open and there’s been a lot of momentum in recent years.

I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention but there are all these new civilian space companies that are launching, could have something to do with it too.

mattlawson : 7/2/2021 8:29 pm : link
Really glad to see the question asked about the studies of remote viewing and connection to UAP activity. Lue did confirm that yes Hal Puthoff was a big part of the program and there was interesting work done in that space.

He did elaborate to say that the data you get from such activities - it’s very subjective, and so in terms of usable data, it’s often not enough, that you need other data to complete the picture. Remote viewing may not be enough to substantiate a claim to make a decision. And that’s totally fair.

I do think more serious work needs to be done on human intuition though because the studies that I’ve heard about are extremely interesting

What public pressure? There is very little public pressure to release this stuff.

Why now is very simple. The military-industrial complex has gotten massive in the last twenty years and the wars are drawing down. Something needs to feed the beast and the military is looking for new things to replace the war funding. The military is a political machine. They recognized a possible opportunity and are taking it.

Releasing it because of space companies in their infancy? What's to gain for the military. I seriously question your logic trains. The motives don't make any sense.
You must assume this is all about money

Lue elizondo resigned. AATIP continues under new leadership and a different acronym. His stance has been he’s forcing disclosure due to frustration with how the government operates. He’s trying to get the truth out there - not perpetuate a broken system.

Just because someone works for an entity for a long period of time doesn’t mean that they are completely loyal to them no matter the case. In Lue’s case it appears he’s blowing the whistle because he’s sick and tired of the same ol same ol.

There’s tremendous public pressure, the UFO article traffic on the New York Times are the highest in the publications history. Same with 60 minutes. This is not a fringe topic any longer. Congressional leaders are coming out of the woodwork now to go on record about this because they know their constituents care about it. This has come up in presidential debates a serious point of questioning for 20 years.

The momentum is there. People that know I’m interested in this topic are coming up to me and texting me all over the place about it. It’s reached an unprecedented pitch
There is zero pressure coming from anyone important.  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/2/2021 10:33 pm : link
The military could do what it ALWAYS does and say piss off. The amount of people and reporters that would be outraged at this would be minuscule. Pressure means actually having consequences, not lots of people asking.

What? I didn’t say any of that about Elizindo.

And yes I do assume it’s all about money, it’s always about money and funding for this he MIC is about to get contracted. They are going to explore all avenues to make sure it’s as minimal as possible.
There is no pressure and very little interest, if any.

There's a canadian ufologist that for years has been on this predictive track going back decades on who the next target would be to drum up military funding. After the wars in the Middle East he predicted Aliens. Apparently he was told this by an DoD insider.

So the larger question becomes, is it really scripted like that? Do you believe in a massive coordinated effort to defraud the public trust to ensure their projects are always lined?

It's a conspiracy one way or another. Pick your poison.

What is this massive coordinated effort to defraud the public? Scripted like what? Just because one guy is a DOD insider and is privy to the information doesn't mean everyone knows. He could also just be putting pieces together. It's not that difficult. I mean I'm not a DoD insider and i'ts blindingly obvious to me.

Yeh the military (and private contractors) is always going to do its best politically to make sure its pockets are lined. Isn't that just common knowledge at this point? The next real priority for the Pentagon is cyberwarfare, but that just doesn't like the pockets like traditional manufacturing and projects do.
