Should I start making my tinfoil hat? What do you make of this?
I want to see HD video. Certainly today the US military has the technology, and everybody and their dog has a smart phone capable of recording video. By now, someone somewhere should be able to produce credible evidence of an honest-to-god alien spacecraft, up close and personal. There’s no credible video of Big Foot, either. I’m still waiting.
I believe there are flying objects folks can’t identify. I have a really tough time believing they are aliens. Knowing the sheer distance involved makes me super skeptical. It’s far easier to believe earthlings are flying various objects.

@eyemamom Thank you for posting the link. I am so glad this is being reported in mainstream media. Pilots sometimes lost their jobs for reporting ufos. I hope this type of reporting in the media means an end to the suppression of the past.
Read the comments on the nytimes article. Pretty amazing!
This is the part that has me skeptical.
These are physical objects with inertia, right? Or maybe they aren’t? It sounds like from the behavior that they are some type of camera or sensor artifact.
I’m going to invest in aluminum and get ahead of the hat craze.
So a little off topic but Saturday night I was in a rural area and just watching the sky when I saw a string of what looked like stars moving east in a line. There were about 15-20 of them and it was the weirdest thing I’d ever seen. Totally freaked me out. Turned out it was the Spacex starlink satellite train that had just been launched. Pretty cool! https://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2019/05/wowowow-spectacular-view-of-spacex.html
Anyway, I’m interested to hear more about these objects!
Look up the UFO siting in the late 1940’s outside of McMinneville, Or.
Farmer Tate’s wife saw a flying saucer over one of their fields. Mr. Tate managed to take two pictures.
They were/are considered to be believable.
On a fun note this small town hosts the UFO festival yearly. H and I made it to the parade. Next year we will
attend some speakers—they come from all over.
I believe New Mexico has a similar celebration.
H is a nonbeliever and I have never doubted since being a young child. I also “knew” there are other universes.
It seems so self centered to me to believe otherwise. What I do not believe it that every UFO is a flying saucer nor that the aliens are evil (necessarily).
@suzy100 You were so lucky to see that. Amazing picture.
You will see more and more of that SpaceX, sadly. Dang Elon, just stick to cars.
That is super cool. Hope they don’t scare my friends away.
I fully believe there are other societies of some sort out there. I just know the distance involved and it’s just as difficult for them to get to us as it is for us to get to them. It doesn’t really matter how advanced they are. Distance is distance.
I listened awhile ago to the podcast from Josh Clark, The End of The World about the Fermi Paradox. It was basically about how weird it is that we’ve never encountered intelligent life in the universe and perhaps that means it’s because there is none out there.
I get everyone is saying yes the pilots saw something but it has an explanation that isn’t otherworldly, we just don’t know. Why are we all accepting that?
Because the sheer distance between galaxies is hardly as easy to traverse as Star Trek, Star Wars, or any space movie/show would have us think, even if a group somehow figures out how to reach or exceed light speed or figures out how to create a worm hole.
They’re fun movies though.
Another sad point is all those space battles happen without sound - no impressive booms or laser sounds. Sound requires matter to travel through and space doesn’t have enough. The movies/shows would be boring as silent battles.
I agree exactly with Creekland in post #2. I have no doubt that the Navy pilots or the farmer in McMinneville saw what they saw. But given the challenges of interstellar travel, it is thousands or millions of times more likely that the UFOs, whatever they are, originated right here on earth and not from some other solar system.
Sounds to me like sharknadoes.

True, but that doesn’t mean what they saw was real, especially if what they saw had distinctly non-physical characteristics. Remember, pilots wear heads-up displays. The object reports were “almost daily, from 2014-2015”. Did the UFOs disappear in 2015, or was that when the Navy upgraded the firmware in the imaging system? The latter possibility seems much more likely to me than the former.
Visual and aural hallucinations are also possible. I swear my sister-in-law’s dishwasher (before she finally replaced it) grumbled about doing dishes. Oliver Sacks wrote a very interesting book on the subject.
