NASA hopes new study helps bring UFO research into the mainstream

Many years ago, one day out of the blue, a fellow Navy officer and friend told me that as a teenager one evening he was on a remote foot bridge over a creek, well outside of town, tossing cherry bombs when a traditional sort of flying saucer flew up, hovered a few hundred feet over his head, was joined by a second, and then both flew off together. True? Probably not, but he had no reason to tell me this, and seemed to believe it.
 

These sightings may be some type of super charged drone. The military is using drones for many different situations. Whatever the sightings are they need to have the ability to fly and then you have to ask yourself “for what purpose?” Some drones are as huge as an airplane. The CIA also uses drones for surveillance and killing identifiable terrorists. The CIA drone program is very secretive. Some (most) drones are undetectable and have stealth ability. The military through Lockheed Martin is developing a drone that can fly at speeds in excess of 4000 mph, which is just under Mach II. That could explain how you can see them now and seconds later, you can’t. This is all that I have to say about this topic.

That doesn't explain why astronauts have reported seeing things in outer space that have done fantastic maneuvers, discounting space junk and leaning toward crafts under intelligent control.

I reread my post and immediately noticed a mistake. The mistake is 4000 mph would be just over Mach V. Sorry if I mislead anyone.
 
Here's one that is hard to grasp. There could be and possibly are more than three spatial dimensions. For example, one scientific hypothesis holds that what we experience as gravity is actually a four-dimensional force (unlike the other three). The way these UAP can dart around so quickly reminds me of how we can zip around our shadows, especially if they are at some distance. So one of my thoughts is that UAP are a 3D representation of a 4D object (or entity).
 
These things exist. I've seen them. My buddy and I went missing an hour once back in the '70s.
If you have read any accounts by abductees, you probably know to be grateful if it was just once. On the other hand if you have recovered any memories of the missing time, please start a thread about Close Encounters or let me know and i'll start one.

I saw this being again about 2 1/2 years later. I've had abduction attempts, re-occurring "dreams," and have seen discs on several occasions, the last being last summer. There were 5 of us, though this time it was a triangle formation of lights that slowly moved over us, and then one by one, blinked out. I've seen dozens of similar videos on YouTube. This is about all I want to talk about it. Peace.
 
@Alligatorob @fuzzybuddy if you get a chance watch the YouTube videos I posted (post #6) in which several reputable pilots and military personnel who certainly know "phenomena" from solid crafts told of their experiences.
@OneEyedDiva I did try to watch the videos, they are long, almost 3 hours in total. So I watched the first parts and then bits and pieces. I think I get the idea.

They are convincing credible sounding people. And I am sure all or most believe what they are saying. Problem is there is no critical review of their stories, and no real tangible proof that they actually observed something that was associated with extraterrestrial intelligence. I am not saying the extraterrestrial origin is wrong, I am just skeptical.

Perhaps the NASA study will do a credible job of investigating these phenomenon, and publish a convincing study.
Imagine our advances in medicine and what doctors from 100 years ago would think of them. I'm sure we're doing things today they never dreamed of. If we are indeed a "younger" planet, there could likely be beings out there far more intelligent and with much more highly advanced technology that our most brilliant scientists couldn't even imagine (yet).
Good point, and I would be surprised if we were the only intelligent species in the universe. And it is likely some of these are older and more advanced that we are. However the obstacles to space travel are enormous, I am not sure overcoming these are possible. Distances are too long.

I believe SETI has a much greater chance of identifying extraterrestrial intelligence. Electromagnetic waves travel much faster and at a much lower cost than space craft. The SETI work that has been done is well founded (even if not well funded) scientifically and as yet has seen nothing.

Exactly. In fact, there have been sightings since before there were even airplanes and other aircraft. @Been There
You will never know the experience of Flying an F/A-18 at Mach 1.5 and suddenly out of no where there is a hazy set of dim white lights in front of you that looks like a rain shower and is approximately 25m wide and as you approach this haze (remember you are going Mach 1.5) the lights surround you before going dark while they are surrounding your aircraft. Your brain is asking you what was that and you have no answer. When you get back on deck, you tell your Aviation Captain what you saw and he tells you to get more sleep. No one believes you. It's always the same answer. "It's your imagination." At night, you see a lot more things in the sky than you do in the daytime. I once saw a colored like mist that moved alongside me until I descended and then it just disappeared. The mist was a very pale blue-green. I was flying a two-seater F/A-18F at that time and it was my first experience in that plane. Again, no one believed me. Just my luck, I had no one in the second seat that night because we were just making nighttime practice takeoffs and landings on the carrier.

Your imagination can play tricks on you and convince you that there is something there when there is not. So, I don't know if I saw what I thought I did or not. I had imagery on my radar, but nothing that was recoverable from the log.
 
If there are aliens, I hope they don't decide to visit us, especially me. That would probably scare me to death. And who knows if they'd be safe, assuming they would be friendly.
I know that I posted the question somewhere, once upon a time: What would you do if a space alien visited you? My answer was to offer food and drink. It seems like the polite thing to do for visitors. (-:
 
Pilots see things out there. Are they real? Maybe. Maybe not. But it doesn't hurt to figure out what they are or what they are caused by. I guess someone thinks they are important enough to study, even if they turn out to be nothing of consequence. I'm not expecting little green men, however.

Are you open to the possibility that space aliens (as opposed to domestic aliens) might send probes before they send members of their scientific community? I watched Carl Sagan a lot!

Being open is not a problem. I'll be more open once that I know they do. As of now, I have nothing to support that is what is happening.

Well put, that is the right question. And even if it all turns out to be illusion I think its is important to know. Those visions create real concern. I believe we should try to understand them as best we can. And who knows, maybe the little green men hidden away in Roswell will come out to talk with us, they should understand English by now.
As a side note, I do believe there is intelligent life out there besides us.
I agree, I have always like Enrico Fermi's words, though probably not his originally, The "Fermi Paradox":

The Fermi Paradox is a problem that asks, where are all the aliens(opens in new tab) in the universe? If life is so abundant, why haven't we been visited by, or heard from, anyone else?

According to NASA, in just the last two decades we have found more than 4,000 planets beyond our solar system, with trillions of stars thought to exist in our galaxy — most of which host their own planets.

Considering life sprang up on Earth, would we not have expected it to start in at least one other location in the last 14 billion years of the universe?

The Fermi Paradox was devised by the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, according to the Planetary Society. He is said to have come up with the idea in a throwaway remark over lunch with colleagues in 1950 when he asked "Where is everybody?"


I believe they are likely out there, I am just skeptical that they are visiting us. Not in the flying saucers reported anyway.
