Military report reveals more strange details on 'UFO' sighting

[left-of-center2012]

... in December, the New York Times released the results of an investigation into the US military’s monitoring of UFO claims and came up with something totally wild. It was a video released by the Pentagon that shows US Navy pilots tracking the movements of a totally unexplainable aircraft.

The report explains in great details how a US Navy aircraft carrier played a strange game of hide and seek with multiple Anomalous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs) that demonstrated flight characteristics that should be downright impossible to pull off.

When the object appeared again a few days later, a pair of F/A-18Fs was directed to check out the strange signals. The result is the now-famous video showing the “Tic Tac”-shaped UFO cruising along at incredibly high speeds and making rapid changes in altitude ... the object is described as “solid white, smooth, with no edges” and being “uniformly colored with no nacelles, pylons, or wings.” The report says the object was estimated to be about 46 feet long. By comparison, the F/A-18 fighters that were trailing it measure around 56 feet long, meaning that whatever it was that the Navy spotted could feasibly hold one or more human-size individuals.

Throughout the several days of seeing the object come and go, the Navy says it may have demonstrated the ability to “cloak” and disappear to the human eye. Its rapid descent from 60,000 feet to just 50 feet before disappearing also made officials consider the possibility that it was capable of operating underwater, effortlessly moving from the air to the sea at will.

1. It probably looked like this and was communicating with the...

... intelligent life forms on this planet.

[ellie]

3. That movie is my

favorite of the Star Trek movies!

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Mine too!

[caraher]

18. Same here

I think because it didn't take itself too seriously. It was fun!

[canetoad]

19. Mine too

See my avatar.

[Glorfindel]

27. Interesting avatar. I always thought it was a map of North Carolina.

Google believes it to be a European swallow.

[canetoad]

32. Humpback whale

I'm on one of their migration paths from Antarctica to Queensland waters for breeding. They are just starting to head up the coast now. They spend a few months in warmer waters and head down to Antarctica again in October/November.

[Glorfindel]

33. I see it now, canetoad! I had missed the long, lighter-colored flippers

Very cool indeed!

[canetoad]

35. Yeah, it's not a really good image

Try this

[triron]

2. I have read before of UFOs appearing to come out of and go into the sea.

The apparent G forces that result from their maneuvers are presently impossible
for humans to survive; not to say the maneuvers themselves are not possible with our
technology.

[Blue_true]

9. If they were aliens and can cloak, they are way smarter than us.

They likely have figured out g-force compensation technology and may be able to travel at the speed of light or above, without the effects our scientists have theorized.

This subject is of interest to me because I am an amateur novelist and I have just about completed a novel on aliens and cloaking methods. I should publish it within the month, I am proofing the last chapter and have created the book cover.

[triron]

15. Cool. I wanted at one time to try to write sf short stories (after I retired)

but got distracted and lazy about it. When I was very young (hs and college) I read
a lot of sf including Heinlein, Simak, Hoyle, and others. One of my favorites is Stranger in a
Strange Land.

[Blue_true]

36. Just taking a binder notebook and writing down your impressions of all the world

around you, people, philosophies, religions, right and wrong. A short story will show up before you know it. A short story is 35-70 pages. I have found that my notebook version is about 1/2 to 1/3 of the pages that I get after typing the manuscript into my laptop and completing editing.

The Space novel turned out to be a big life. It is at 350 pages now, with me about 1/3 of the way through the final edit of the key chapter, I expect to end up close to 350 pages and around 84,000 words, and around a year of on and off work on it. I wrote and have published a novel on demons and religion, that one was more philosophical in nature and did not involve the level of research required for the Space novel

I have the concept for my third novel, but won't get to that for a while due to me being buried with work on a clean energy development project. Well, maybe I will write occasionally if the other stuff becomes overwhelming.

[MicaelS]

4. Yeah that was really strange.

Should give the skeptics something to think about.

[rusty fender]

5. Drones

These are probably our most advanced and classified drones, or another country’s, or privately owned.

[left-of-center2012]

6. Uh huh

Yep

sure

[rusty fender]

23. Who is your avatar?

He reminds of sec. of commerce, Wilbur Ross

[rusty fender]

45. Thank you!

[Duppers]

25. Exactly.

One Friday evening in 1974 (~) a small ball stadium full of people saw a huge ~500 to 1000' (?)"drone" appear overhead, stay for less than a minute, then totally disappear in an instance. I saw it from the highway close by. My boss and I spotted it and pulled over to watch. Newspaper reported a weather balloon sighting. Yeah, right.

We're not the center of the universe containing all knowledge, and some seem to believe.

[Blue_true]

10. The descent rate is impossible for a drone to achieve.

I would not be surprised if super intelligent aliens have found us. They would likely just observe. Don't understand why they would uncloak so that they can be seen. We should hope that they are peaceful, because if they are not, we are screwed.

[triron]

16. Doubt they are malevalent; we would already be exterminated or enslaved.

[Henry Krinkle]

20. These ones are just the scout ships.

The main armada of heavily equipped and manned battleships with cannibalistic
aliens will be arriving once they're gathered and analyzed all the intelligence.

That could be any day now.

[Merlot]

31. Any day now...because there isn't that much inteligence to analyze?

[Blue_true]

40. They would have to be 500-1500 years more advanced that us to survive the trip.

With that level of superiority, one of their spacecraft should be able to easily decimate us.

[Blue_true]

39. I agree. If they are here, their sheer advancement over us is astounding.

I would guess that they could easily kill us all or enslave us if they wanted to.

[Henry Krinkle]

43. Or, what if all the stories about encounters and abductions are true...

that their only interest, purpose and reason for traveling all that way and coming here
is so they can strap us down and shove probes up our asses?

[Blue_true]

49. Beings that can travel a minimum of 19 trillion miles to get here,

enter our star system after traveling in interstellar space, would be most likely hundreds, if not thousands and potentially tens of thousands years more advanced than we are intellectually. I was asked by another poster how they would eat and drink or travel, those questions were dripping with the limits of our own intelligence and may be colored by religious dogma. Traveling a minimum of 19 trillion miles and surviving it is no trivia matter, and beings that can do that likely have intelligence that make us look like bugs in comparison.

The earth travels 584 million miles annually to orbit the sun. To cover 19 trillion miles, the earth would have to complete more that 30,000 complete revolutions around the sun. The enormity of the intelligence of beings that can make that minimum trip would likely would be astounding. I really doubt that they would even need to touch us to completely analyze us, they likely have mastered using every known wavelength of light and radiation in the Cosmos and know exactly what each would do to us when they expose us to those things using their technology.

[RandiFan1290]

7. It is an interesting story

I believe the pilots.

[dhill926]

8. well, if they are indeed for real....

and they do indeed contain aliens.....could you um, help get us out of this fix we're in....

[Blue_true]

11. Don't lose hope. Maybe that sinkhole at the White House was them testing their aim.

So that when they are ready to suck that bastard up and probe his anal cavity, they won't miss. Hopefully they keep his and dump his ass in interstellar space somewhere.

[hunter]

12. It's an Easter Egg in the software.

[sarah FAILIN]

14. Maybe it's the Russians

They finally found one in Siberia and stole the tech. Now they are using it to distract for Trump whenever he needs it.
Joking, don't alert on me for whackadoodle posts or whatever, but it sure does seem like we hear alien stories when he gets into trouble. Maybe they are here to straighten this mess out?

[left-of-center2012]

17. It's a cookbook !

[spinbaby]

21. Alien sightseers

Here to see Earth before it becomes a tourist trap.

[left-of-center2012]

22. Or becomes extinct ?

[NutmegYankee]

24. Maybe it's Fleetlord Atvar from Tau Ceti II

[Turbineguy]

26. The Space Aliens

are on to Trump!

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

28. And it only took

15-15 years for the military we pay for, to give us the 'news'.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

29. A UFO crashed in Roswell, NM in 1947.

[roamer65]

30. Sounds like an anti-gravity propulsion system to me.

Maybe Bob Lazar wasn’t lying, folks.

We have already discovered gravity “waves”. If we can focus and direct them, all sorts of funky stuff can be done as far as space travel.

[grantcart]

34. Remember Dick Tracy had anti gravity ships that went to the moon.

[Blue_true]

41. I believe that there is an as yet undiscovered force of the universe.

If it is used along with gravity and magnetism, spacecraft can travel is near the speed of light, or beyond that speed. If aliens are here, if they could communicate with us, they could tell us whether some of our long held laws and theories are correct. Pretty facinating stuff.

[wasupaloopa]

42. How do they survive in our atmosphere?

What do the do for food and shelter.

How are they adapted to our place in the universe.

I think there are no aliens here and that people leave all reason aside when they say they exist.

People who think we are visited by other life forms should be made to answer some various obvious questions.

[Blue_true]

48. Advanced species should have technology that allow them to survive anywhere.

If they developed under a yellow-white sun like we did, in the inhabital zone under that star, they should be used to the same elements and compounds that we are, so survival would be no issue. If they developed under another color star, then some adjustment may be required by them, depending on the zone that they developed under that star.

If they have the ability to cloak, as one military person say they have, then their technological abilities would be substantial, testing our food and/or modifying it to their needs potentially would be a trivia matter for them.

They could come from a number of places in our OWN Galaxy. As a matter of fact they can come from our very own spiral arm of our galaxy (the Orion Arm has a number of stars with earth like planets). The Milky Way Galaxy alone contains something like 400 billion earth like planets (similar chemical makeup, have water). As a matter of fact, the two nearest stars to our star (Proxima A and Proxima B) have about five earth like planets, THREE of which have water and landmass like earth.

The people that think we are in the universe, or even our own Galaxy alone are running out of space and it is only a matter of time before everything they claim is blown to crap.

[wasupaloopa]

50. I don't buy it

[Blue_true]

51. As you wish. Science is science.

The probability that we are the only intelligent beings in the enormity of our own Galaxy is zero. It is doubtful that we are even among the most intelligent beings in our galaxy.

[NightWatcher]

38. Pick me up guys. I'm sick of all the assholes down here!

But you guys (and ladies) here are different. You're the good ones.

(Winks to the Mothership)

[miyazaki]

44. This is Ceti Alpha V !
