The UFO briefings on Capitol Hill have begun. Lawmakers aren’t impressed.

a reply to: idusmartias Maybe they should bring MUFON to the front and legitimize it? Since MUFON has been been doing all that work since the Air Force etc said take the hot potato we don't even want to discuss it; because we can't.

MUFON is a paper tiger, literally. There's no substance to the organization. It's just a bunch of well-meaning people who do not accomplish anything but create a paper trail. You report a UFO sighting. a MUFON "investigator" interviews you, files a report and waits for the next case. I belonged to one on the inactive list but got bored and left.

Extraterrestrials (or whatever hey are) will not allow nuclear weapons to be used

This is more of the nonsense theory that the development of nuclear weapons is what caused ET to come to Earth. Nagasaki was bombed 3 days after Hiroshima. Concerned ET should have interfered with that second bombing by electronic interference with the flight or by showing themselves during. Surely a warning of some sort would have happened after the bombing on Nagasaki letting human beings know of a concerned presence.

There's a major lack of common sense and logic when these theories are deeply questioned.

They first came to earth a long time ago and it had nothing to do with nuclear weapons.

America’s First UFO Sighting
Think UFO sightings are just a modern phenomenon? Think again. The Puritans were the first to record strange shining lights in American skies.
CHRISTOPHER KLEINUPDATED:JAN 15, 2020ORIGINAL:NOV 9, 2016

On March 1, 1639, John Winthrop opened his diary in which he recorded the trials and triumphs of his fellow Puritans as they made a new life in America. As the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony put pen to paper, he began to recount a most unusual event that had recently caused a stir among the English immigrants.

Winthrop wrote that earlier in the year James Everell, “a sober, discreet man,” and two others had been rowing a boat in the Muddy River, which flowed through swampland and emptied into a tidal basin in the Charles River, when they saw a great light in the night sky. “When it stood still, it flamed up, and was about three yards square,” the governor reported, “when it ran, it was contracted into the figure of a swine.”

Over the course of two to three hours, the boatmen said that the mysterious light “ran as swift as an arrow” darting back and forth between them and the village of Charlestown, a distance of approximately two miles. “Diverse other credible persons saw the same light, after, about the same place,” Winthrop added.

The governor wrote that when the strange apparition finally faded away, the three Puritans in the boat were stunned to find themselves one mile upstream—as if the light had transported them there. The men had no memory of their rowing against the tide, although it’s possible they could have been carried by the wind or a reverse tidal flow. “The mysterious repositioning of the boat could suggest that they were unaware of part of their experience. Some researchers would interpret this as a possible alien abduction if it happened today,” write Jacques Vallee and Chris Aubeck in Wonders in the Sky: Unexplained Aerial Objects from Antiquity to Modern Times.

Sounds like a lot of competition or at least sources that can be cross checked with one another to see if they had reporting in the same area from other observers a web crawler between all of those could perform such a task as a central core or data bank dedicated such a thing could do that anyways as a dedicated search engine from the entire web without language being a barrier to it.

Here's an interesting one; It would be nice to see the entire video posted somewhere if anyone wants to find a link? I suggest muting and slowing the video down to a quarter speed... but it takes on a "pig" shape and bounces back and forth rapidly as mentioned in the charles river incident and looks about 27 feet or "3 yards square"

Lawmakers receiving the latest secret briefings on UFOs say national security agencies still aren’t taking seriously the reports of highly advanced aircraft of unknown origin violating protected airspace.

Members of the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services committees received classified progress reports in recent weeks on a series of new data collection efforts the Pentagon and spy agencies are now required to pursue to more rigorously investigate reports of UFOs, three people with direct knowledge confirmed.

ooh! anything good?

But some leading sponsors of recent legislation want more analysts and surveillance systems dedicated to determining the aircrafts’ origin — and not just more reports of their existence.

One of those lawmakers is Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), a member of both committees who has called the phenomena “an urgent issue” and for the first time is expressing her public dissatisfaction at the response.

mmm...we want for info.

“Senator Gillibrand believes that the DoD needs to take this issue much more seriously and get in motion,” said one of her aides, who requested anonymity in order to discuss private conversations. “They have had ample time to implement these important provisions, and they need to show us that they are prepared to address this issue in the long-term.”

age-old issue with saucers; we need MORE, SPECIFIC info, not just blurred videos and radar spook image thingies.

let me guess; the investigating agencies need more resources.

Expanding investigations of UAPs will require dedicating far more resources and personnel to the task, military and intelligence experts say.

I have to think that if there was something real and physical to these things we would have found SOMETHING by now.

that we get glimpses and teasers makes me think about John Keel and his 'games nonhumans play' theories. there are beings out there (demons?) that play with us.

not holding my breath for Congress to get this figured out

Well I have physically seen one in real life so I know they are physical and real......

Whether they are solid? Or ETs, or Government, or some energy form Idk.....

The Senators are used to getting their way. They’re in for a big surprise with ufos, when they find out the IC don’t know squat, and can’t do squat about them.

a reply to: Ectoplasm8

the theory (which I am neither proposing nor deposing)

is that the whoevers have been tracking us off and on
and after Hiroshima / Nagasaki they upped the game

maddening how so many sightings but no hard evidence. almost as if they are purposely teasing us...

1639-2022... Yet after 383 years of claimed ET visitation, abduction, and so on not a single incident has ever been shown to be a real physical event of extraterrestrial beings. Centuries of chances to show at least the possibilty of that story having some truth by association, but nothing.

ET beings existing then coming to Earth is something that needs to be taken far more seriously than just stories. Some of these believers turn what would the most important discovery in human history and reduce it down to nothing. I don't think the full meaning is understood.

There's a difference between belief and reality.
