I was just gonna post this article but you beat me to it. If this report is true, it will be a real advantage to the UFO community considering who is making the claim.

I saw this about 20 mins ago on the Drudgereport site, but the link there is dead.

I particularly liked his take on UFO's and Christian end times prophecies, as I tend to beleive the UFO phenomenon may take on that exact explenation.

Definately interesting to see the pic and the take from a 30 yr Col and F-16 pilot.

As I read things like this article, I have to wonder what made this person feel free to come forward, and whether those circumstances can be learned from and used to encourage other military or aviation witnesses to come forward. I was wondering if anyone had thoughts about why this guy decided that he could freely talk about this?

I was an Aircraft Weapons guy in the air force for close to six years, and I have to say that looking at the pictures I was saying to myself that these were only countermeasure flares that he was seeing....

Well, that was before I read the part about how he was a fighter pilot for a number of years. Trust me, if anybody would know what a flare looks like it would be this guy.

I will admit though, that he has some serious balls coming forward like that, especially giving his name and everything.

It very well could be that we are inching closer and closer to disclosure (in whatever form that may be)

Why is that when people have a certain ranking in society, immediatly have a good credibility if they talk about UFO's, light or whatever? I don't understand this. Do you mean that just ordinary people are hoaxers at first hand?

Rai76- I believe the word you're searching for is stereotype. Our daily lives have become so busy, that our brains are crammed with information.. some useful some not. In order to make this process simpler and easier we develop stereotypes.

Interesting that many people bring religion and UFO into the same conversation as of late. If in fact some UFO or beings are capable of time travel as stated by many here, it would make perfect sense as to many of the prophecies in the Bible, and countless other religious texts worldwide. We are obviously changing our environment, polluting the world so it eventually will no longer sustain life without our intervention of the pollution that we create. If these beings time travel, then in my opinion, they are right on que, and I would expect over the next few years to really start seeing some heavy action.

Another thought about sightings, is O'hare for example. If the government was in control, so to speak, or in contract with, we would not be seeing ANY sightings, as you can rest assured that would not be part of the agreement. For whatever reason, being they are aliens that are outside of our contact, or the "rebel" teenage alien taking dads car for a ride, they are none the less being seen, and photographed. Now you can reason a few things from that information, but for me, the bottom line is obviously our government is not in "complete" control over everything UFO and Alien related ;-)

The next 5-10 years should be very facinating, as many of the elder men and women that have worked on numerous projects are passing on, and one would hope they share their experience before they go.
