  I vaguely remember knowing about this, but definitely didn’t know that one of the officers on site described it at a round metallic object. That’s sort of neat.

  It’s been flying under the radar with everything else going on over the past year, but the Americans have confirmed that UFOs (or UAPs – unidentified aerial phenomenon/a) are out there.

  Over the past year and a half, the Americans have been declassifying materials, including incident reports and even a trio of videos, that clearly describe/depict incidents involving US military aircraft and what appear to be UAPs. This after it became known that there was a secret program tracking and assembling all these reports. They’ve now created a special Pentagon unit to investigate the incidents that were made public, and all the other hundreds of others that weren’t. https://www.space.com/ufo-sightings-pentagon-task-force.html

  Don’t let the focus on equipment malfunction misdirect you, the US Senator who runs the Intelligence Committee (basically, overseeing the CIA, NSA, military intelligence, the works) said this just a few months ago, after multiple briefings on the file:

  “We have things flying over our military bases and places where we’re conducting military exercises and we don’t know what it is and it isn’t ours,” Rubio said.

  “Frankly, if it’s something outside this planet that might actually be better than the fact that we’ve seen some sort of technological leap from the Chinese or Russians or some other adversary that allows them to conduct this sort of activity,” Rubio said. “That to me is a national security risk and one we should be looking into.”

  Who knows what that thing was in Montreal but, by now, it’s pretty clear that UAPs are real, at least as far as the US government knows and has communicated to the highest elected overseer of such matters aside from their president. Whether they come of out of an advanced research lab in Massachusetts or planet K2-18b, there’s something happening.

  david, I know a man here who’s studied UFOs for years and has written a book about them, but whenever I’ve talked to him about it, or think about them, my brain shorts out a bit. Why would extraterrestrials come this far (we’re a small planet on the outer arm of a pretty ordinary galaxy – basically in the sticks, as far as the Milky Way is concerned, where, if there’s any great planetary confederacy, it won’t be around here) but, instead of making contact, are content to mess around buzzing people in cornfields? Why, now that almost everyone has a pretty good camera in the device they’re holding in their hand most of the time, are we not getting more and better pictures of them? Why does the supposed evidence so often depend on the unreliable nature of human perception and memory? And so on.

  Apparently planets that have regular solar eclipses like we do are pretty uncommon; someone mentioned to me that if aliens were to come to Earth, it would probably be to check that out. Probably extreme tourists, like people on Earth who go to remote places that are hard to access to see weird geological phenomena. I imagine that if they have the technology to get here, they likely have the technology to go undetected by our primitive surveillance.

  I don’t think anyone’s denied that UFOs exist. But the phrase is about “unidentified”, not flying saucers. When I was in Vancouver in 1986, I saw somwthing one night (I can’t remember exactly what) but tge next day there was a brief story in the paper.

  I can’t really fathom the idea of extra-terrestrials. It’s probably some super secret tech that hasn’t filtered its way out of the labs to the Pentagon people and their briefings for the politicians. Which is probably what a bunch of these sightings are and have been over the years, at least the credible ones. But if so, that means there really are UFOs and have been all this time!

  I suppose if wanted to go crazy and theorize about extra-terrestrials, I guess I could imagine an alien intelligence would send probes of some sort, like how we (well, the Americans) send missions to Mars?

  In fact, the best bet is that this is the tech: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/30499/the-truth-is-the-military-has-been-researching-anti-gravity-for-nearly-70-years
