UFOs in the news lately

The topic has been on CBS, CNN, etc recently. Is it still considered crazy or is it a serious issue now?

Hopefully getting us ready for the big reveal.

I think Seahawk knows something.

They’ve been in the news for sure, Saw a related (if political) tweet just today: “Are we really going to admit aliens exist before we admit there might have been some fraudulent ballots in 2020?”

It should be a serious issue. We know it's something we have no defense against (unless there's some black budget project that is beyond top secret) and we don't know what they are or why they are doing what they're doing.

This is a decent overview of "where we are now" with some Navy pilots and such that have direct experience with them. Very much worth watching if you'd like a lot of pertinent info about the subject in a short amount of time.

And this is not just a few people yappying about all that footage of those FLIR videos you have probably already seen.

They certainly seem friendly enough. I mean they could vaporize navy pilots in heart beat if they wanted to.

The subject is being discussed at length tonight on Coast to Coast (beginning right now). Find a station here and listen if you're interested: https://www.coasttocoastam.com/stations/

First Half: Disclosure lobbyist and truth seeker Stephen Bassett shares updates in the disclosure field, including what to expect in the upcoming report on UAPs to the Senate Intel Committee. He'll also cover potential congressional hearings on UFOs, and offer commentary on people immersed in this story such as Sen. Marco Rubio.

Second Half: Retired senior technology executive Joseph Foster has compiled a lifetime of paranormal sightings and experiences including many stories from his time in the military. He'll discuss the various types of UFO sightings as well as five areas on the globe scarier than the Bermuda Triangle.

They've been here for a long time.
Why let themselves be seen now?

The interviews with the USN F/A-18 pilot is pretty captivating, Rogan had him on his podcast a while back. Definitely some stuff that we can’t explain within the context of our technology.

As I have written here before, I have had two encounters, one while flying on cruise with the Navy.

In those days, late 80's, talking about seeing a UFO was an on-ramp to career deceleration trauma.

So we, as a crew, did not say a word.

I am open to the probability of them visiting but why are we unable to get hi-res video of them?

We haven't had a major terrorist attack in 20+ years, the climate change thing can only be played out for so much longer, Covid is losing traction and most people probably don't see China or Russia as an existential threat (the old MAD thing and all).

Something new may be needed ... might as well begin planting the "official government" seeds now.

Sit back and realize how much of the earth isn't occupied by humans out watching.
Then realize how much has not had cameras out watching.
Even with the proliferation of cell phone cameras, security cameras, etc.

We only cover such a miniscule fraction of the earth's surface area.
We'd still only cover a miniscule fraction of the earth's surface area even with ten times the population, even a hundred times the population.

We focus our travel between our hotspots.
All it'd take is avoiding those hotspots, and the routes between.
Invisible, unobserved.

I hear ya man.
My point is that if they didn't want to be seen, they wouldn't be seen.
If they wanted to be seen, they would be seen.
Why now?

My wife and I experienced a (very close) sighting over our house one evening for a period of 15 minutes about 8 years ago. Unforgettable experience.
