The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has released its hotly anticipated UFO report, which at nine pages in length with no new information is about as spectacular a letdown for UFO enthusiasts as you could possibly get. It does however contain multiple lines which will likely be useful for cold warrior policymakers going forward, just as we forecast earlier.

In summary:

  • The ODNI says there do appear to be unidentified objects in US airspace behaving in ways the government can’t yet explain.
  • No direct mention is made of the possibility that these objects could be extraterrestrial in origin.
  • Direct mention is made of the possibility that UFOs could be highly advanced Russian or Chinese technology.
  • UFOs “pose a hazard to safety of flight” and could be a national security threat.

Those last two points are the only ones which US policymakers of any significance are going to pay attention to.

“UAP [Unidentified Aerial Phenomena] clearly pose a safety of flight issue and may pose a challenge to U.S. national security,” the report says. “Safety concerns primarily center on aviators contending with an increasingly cluttered air domain. UAP would also represent a national security challenge if they are foreign adversary collection platforms or provide evidence a potential adversary has developed either a breakthrough or disruptive technology.”

“UAP pose a hazard to safety of flight and could pose a broader danger if some instances represent sophisticated collection against U.S. military activities by a foreign government or demonstrate a breakthrough aerospace technology by a potential adversary,” the report adds.

“Some UAP may be technologies deployed by China, Russia, another nation, or a non-governmental entity,” it also says.

While the authors of the report also say they “currently lack data to indicate any UAP are part of a foreign collection program or indicative of a major technological advancement by a potential adversary,” the fact that Russia or China magically leapfrogging US technology by centuries seventy years ago has been validated as a possibility by the report is a gift to cold warriors eager to ramp up aggressions and inflame a high-budget arms race against those nations.

Among those cold warriors is Senator Marco Rubio, one of the handful of individuals behind this strange new UFO narrative’s entry into mainstream attention. Rubio released the following statement shortly before the report was published:

“For years, the men and women we trust to defend our country reported encounters with unidentified aircraft that had superior capabilities, and for years their concerns were often ignored and ridiculed. This report is an important first step in cataloging these incidents, but it is just a first step. The Defense Department and Intelligence Community have a lot of work to do before we can actually understand whether these aerial threats present a serious national security concern.”

As I’ve been saying repeatedly, the odds of this new UFO narrative entering mainstream consciousness courtesy of the Pentagon, military/intelligence operatives, and corrupt warmongering politicians at the same moment the US begins implementing a new cold war against Russia and China is far too convenient for mere coincidence to be a likely explanation. We can expect to see the hawkish agendas of warmongers like Marco Rubio further advanced by this new UFO narrative going forward.

  1. I believe the ‘Space Force’ was mentioned in one of Dr Ray Griffins books dismantling the Official Conspiracy Theory on 9/11.

    He made note of the Space Force, and it’s funding requests to dominate ‘Space’ to protect its ‘Interests’.

    This is nothing but another solicitation for funds under the guise of defense.

  2. So they are still torn between the ‘blame it on them aliens’ lie, and the ‘blame it on them Russians’ lie.
    Well, good for them.
    Also, unless that $#*÷bird Rubio is trying to explain why he has his hand on his sister’s ass, he is lying. And, if he is trying to explain that, he’s lying.

    .
    One more example of how deranged the Pentagon has become and how out of control its budget already is, that it no longer trusts the usual Red Scare nonsense to gin up yet another hundred billion dollar round of spending.
    .
    The annual U.S. war budget exceeds one trillion dollars. Russia’s? About 55 billion in U.S. dollars, or roughly 1/20th what the U.S. spends—remember, that’s every single year. But UFOs might be Russia’s, even so? Or China’s, when China spends about 1/5th what the U.S. spends on its military—again, every single year.
    .
    Keep in mind, too, that even if it IS aliens (it isn’t), any ET wishing to destroy us could simply hang out between Mars and Jupiter, where asteroids are plentiful, put one of its interstellar engines behind a mile-wide asteroid, accelerate that asteroid to a small, useful fraction of the speed of light, then ram the Earth and send it back to the Stone Age without firing a second shot.
    .
    There is no defense against even one hostile alien with the ability and technology to travel between stars.
    .
    If there’s good news in that regard it’s that the inability to resist hostile aliens means there’s no need to yield to our own, Earth-born predators in the Beltway and their endless hunger and pretexts for money and power. The bad news, though, is that most of the population considers films like Independence Day to be fairly realistic. That accompanied by general scientific illiteracy bodes ill for our ability to resist the Pentagon’s latest round of predation.

    By the way, Caitlin, anyone running this website who genuinely cared what commenters had to say would have abandoned long ago its antiquated, counterproductive commenting system with its lack of spacing, of anything resembling an editing function, bizarre compressions of text as people reply to one another, etc. etc. Just saying, it’s the worst I’ve seen in at least a decade.

    1. I mean yes, that could be done by an “intelligent” species, but why would they go through all the trouble of pushing rocks around in different trajectories? In fact, I question any intelligence associated with said action.
      ~
      Here is another theory of mine.
      ~
      The moment they tried to cause this sort of harm, there would be another “intelligent” in the background that would teach them a lesson about not causing harm cause that is a basic lesson of Mutual Aid.
      ~
      Meanwhile, on Planet Earth it is evident that Mother Nature is getting tired of not being properly respected and all this talking about aliens and such just delays collective response and without that, to be frank about it – we are all dead. We wouldn’t even be considered an “intelligent” species, and really neither ought the ones pushing rocks from that belt twixt Jupiter and Mars. And I know it was a metaphor (it was a good one and I appreciate it). So is my response.

    The level of discussion here, with ridicule bordering on utter childishness, is quite discouraging but no big surprise. For the most part – though I completely agree the Pentagon is lying about what it knows and is no doubt setting up a psyop – such comments display utter disregard for the extensive *documented* history of UFOs and the national security state.

    This doesn’t necessarily mean aliens are among us, but it does raise the question, at least to minds that aren’t totally shut.

    It’s more of the SOS that debunkers and skeptics have been dishing out – in total unblinking cooperation with the NSS – for decades. It reveals a complete lack of knowledge, research or critical thinking. Ha ha ha. Aliens. Ha ha ha. UFOs. Ha ha ha. Crazy conspiracy theorists. Ha ha ha. Electrogravitics. Ha ha ha. Incursions at nuclear missile sites. Ha ha ha. Encounters with military aircraft around the world. Ha ha ha.

    Boy this is funny stuff. The Pentagon just released a nothingburger about a subject that they already clearly revealed 70 plus years ago that they knew was real, and which they considered even back then to be a serious threat.

    Read the Twining Memo from 1947. Read what Adm. Roscoe Hillenkoetter, first CIA director, told the NY Times in the early 1960s. Read diverse documents released through the Freedom of Information Act regarding Malstrom AFB, Minot AFB.

    Or read what Werner Von Braun said regarding “the last big trick,” a fake alien invasion.

    On second thought, don’t bother. Just ridicule the entire subject and act like you are truly knowledgeable.

    Those who continue the ridicule are playing the game spectacularly well, being as compliant and ‘informed’ as all those who ride down country lanes on their bicycles wearing masks. When the other shoe drops, in the form of the biggest psyop in human history, you’ll be so utterly unprepared it will no longer be funny.

    Ha ha. Hee hee. Gee aren’t we smart. I’ll bet some of these UFO kooks still believe the government is lying about 9-11. Sieg Heil ya’ll.

      So what are the psychological and material ramifications if little green men are real, Mr Phillips ?
      We are not alone. All strange lights in the sky are now just the aliens.
      Other beings sensible to us inhabit worlds similar to ours
      We can potentially star trek there, take their shit and live there once we are done trashing this planet.
      We need serious military hardware worth trillions of dollars, stationed in orbit to ‘eliminate threats’ from them.
      We need a new, top down, private sector based ‘intergalactic model of governance’ as nation states are inappropriate in the context of myriad worlds.
      The private sector is of course, uniquely suited to dealing with them.
      Humans are no longer seen as some sort of high point of evolution, and so may be genetically modified or tweaked to make them better, and perhaps more like the aliens.
      We are at constant risk of alien diseases and so need regular vaccinations to protect against new diseases from offworld.
      Of course we will need some sort of genetic identifier that enables the authorities to distinguish us from the aliens.
      Everything bad that happens from now on will be the fault of rogue or hostile aliens.
      Lockdowns may be periodically required when the aliens are abroad in the night sky.

      Thats just for starters , you can see the unlimited potential flr coercion and control. Admiral Hillenkoetter was another of these far right wing fascist secret society OSS types who helped build the charming little friendship society that is the CIA. Cold war headbangers like him are not credible.
      The National Intelligence state has no credibilty and is not the burning bush or the holy grail in these matters.

        If you read my post, you will see that I don’t trust the national security state, nor the Pentagon, and I that indeed am saying we are being deceived.

        The claim that the United States hasn’t been working on advanced technologies, but that, gosh, maybe China and Russia have leaped ahead of us by centuries, is nonsense, as I think most informed people would agree.

        But enough of the “little green men” references. This is the kind of language that has been used repeatedly to discredit the entire notion of UFOs. Address the Twining Memo, or any number of other FOIA documents that I mentioned.

        People’s lives have been destroyed with such ridicule. The NSS has infiltrated numerous UFO research groups. Google Paul Bennewitz. Sure, it may be just a way of covering up research on homemade, red white and blue secrets. I suspect so. But this doesn’t explain everything, nor all of the deception.

        Something has indeed been penetrating military air space, nuclear installations and other sites for decades. Explain that, rather than dismiss it as nothing more than a product of human imagination. That is my point.

        As far as how it will be used to deceive people and further the NSS and military agendas, I am in full agreement with what you’re saying. Didn’t I state the very same?

        The immediate leap from “There is something physically real behind some of the UFO reports” to “there are little green men amongst us” is the problem. Explain what was buzzing around the Southwestern skies in the 1940s, or over DC in 1952, or over Malstrom in 1967, without resort to “little green men” references, and perhaps we have a starting point for a real discussion.

    1. Will disagree with you because it is important to pay attention to the sheer scale (as well as the ugly agendas) of the club of globalist oligarchies. How, for example, after Ebola, Zika, h1n1 were ignored were our loving shepherds able to coordinate a worldwide hysteria over a ‘plague’ with a 99%+ recovery rate? What crowbar put ~all the ‘governments’ on the planet on board with a plan to pin down their peasantry (def: anyone with assets of less than 1 B U$D)?

    So those who discuss it I think are sort of wasting our time. I don’t know about you, but I take time seriously. We all only have so much and not even the effing Calvinist know the truth of that even if they think they do. They are the biggest fools of all. Myself, I’m not wasting my time thinking about UFO’s and such and talking about it and contemplating traveling off the planet cause the reality is there are some serious things that demand serious thinking and that kind of thinking has been lacking lately. My whole effing life at least with perspective to that made up city in DC. When will there be good government I ask?

      So, Beefalo Ken tonnes of troll comments stretching down the page to infinity, seems a little OTT or is that how these things go ?

  9. Alas… this is just how decadent our civilization has become… I read the comments of yall sinners here and am flabbergasted that none mentions the obvious – which would have been routine only a century ago: these UFOs are sent by God.
    Yessir! God! Almighty, whatever you want to call Him. Akbar if you’re that way inclined.
    When you’ve created the whole universe (including nebulas, which are pretty tricky stuff) in six days, this is child’s play.
    What do you think He’s been doing all these years? Last time we heard from Him, He was putting a mark on Cain’s forehead – so that people wouldn’t throw stones at him for whacking his brother Abel because he didn’t want to play the dummy in a bridge game – and booting him out of the crime scene. So there were three people left on Earth at that time. Cain obviously wasn’t going to throw stones at himself or at least he didn’t need a mark on his forehead to remind him not to do so. What do you think he is? Stupid? As for the other two, Adam and Eve, God only had to call them and say “Look here guys, don’t throw stones at Cain or no more apples!” and Bob’s your uncle. Didn’t have to bother with this fancy mark stuff which was taking time as the World Series were about to begin and God didn’t want to miss that, having skin in the game.
    Obviously there were other people at play here and they were ETM (extra-terrestrial motherfuckers) ready to throw stones at Cain from their UFOs (acronym for U Fuck Off) just for the fun of it cos’ these guys were regular bastards. Sociopaths. Some of them have been known to shapeshift and work in governments throughout the ages, which has always ended in conflicts. Some say even Brennan and Pompeo… But let’s not spread gossip…
    Of course Cain is a dodgy fellow, so he’s been zigzagging all over the joint at full speed all this time. He’s often been sighted in Mexico where they call him Speedy Gonzalez because he wears a yellow sombrero to protect him from the stones when he gets hit by an ETM who doesn’t give a damn about the mark God put on his forehead… This is why aviators have seen these UFOs zigzagging in the sky in the same fashion. They’re simply following Cain’s patterns to take aim.
    Why do they produce a light? Because every time they want to throw a stone at Cain, the ETM have to open the windows of their UFOs. The glass catches the sun and reflects it.
    That’s the time God chooses to place bets against Adam, Eve, the snake, Jesus, the Virgin Mary, the three kings, the donkey, the ox and the Devil about which of the UFOs is gonna hit Cain if any. He shouts “Faites vos jeux, rien ne va plus!” cos’ he’s been trained in Monte-Carlo while the others play on the penny whistle and you can hear them blow if you lean your head out far enough from Desolation Row.

  10. I’ve assumed from the first governmental mention of UFOs being ‘real,’ that the government had some ulterior motive for breaking with its past position that all sightings are innocuous and explainable. I assumed that china and/or Russia were the eventual targets of conversation.
    That explains why, after a cursory investigation into early assertions, I’ve completely ignored anything available via print, broadcast or digital mainstream media. I can smell and reject lies, even in my sleep.
    PS, government. There are still a great many innocent Yemeni women and children that you haven’t starved to death yet. I guess you’re not trying hard enough.

    The Enlightenment was called the Age of Reason by some and the Age of Insanity by other historians. I posit that we are in a similar time today and should thus expect the unexpected. Government committees on space aliens is one such symptom. In an insane society, the sane person appears insane.

  16. “No direct mention is made of the possibility that these objects could be extraterrestrial in origin.” [Why? Because that angle is planned for a future PR/Psy-Op campaign]. “Direct mention is made of the possibility that UFOs could be highly advanced Russian or Chinese technology.” [Why? Because, at this point, they can basically say anything, no matter how obvious, no matter how ridiculous, no matter how insulting, no matter how revolting – and it will be Sold across all mediums]. “UFOs ‘pose a hazard to safety of flight’ and could be a national security threat.” [Why? Because they succeeded with Iraq and WMD. And now, everything can be covered as a “security threat”]. Regarding the Russia and China aspect, a First Grade teacher presented this to the class. One responded: “But, that doesn’t make sense. Those things are not from here.” The teacher replied: “And that, my son, is the level of the world we live in.”) https://seaclearly.com/2021/06/04/ufos-and-world-stages-a-christian-perspective

  17. The ODNI says there do appear to be unidentified objects in US airspace behaving in ways the government can’t yet explain.
    Would this be the same government that can’t even balance its checkbook?

    No direct mention is made of the possibility that these objects could be extraterrestrial in origin.
    Of course not. Such would drop government down several rungs on the ladder of relevance.

    Direct mention is made of the possibility that UFOs could be highly advanced Russian or Chinese technology.
    Never mind that if this is true, there is no point is spending any more money on “defense”, since it would be totally helpless in the face of this tech.

    UFOs “pose a hazard to safety of flight” and could be a national security threat.
    Is there such a thing as something that doesn’t pose a national security threat, justifying ever more spending on defending against such threat? I suspect the color of our underwear falls somewhere in there.

  18. I’d say it is much more likely that the skies are filled with UFO’s of non-human origin than that Russia or China have discovered and exploited the entirely new laws of physics, probably centuries or millennia advanced over what is in the textbooks, that would be necessary to explain the behavior demonstrated by some of these aerial phenomena. Ask the scientists and the engineers as to what is really possible, NOT the politicians, the military or the MIC war profiteers!! Ask the taxpayers! Even the subset of inebriated and unemployed grade school dropouts will make more sense than those last three groups.

      So UFO’s are real, Realist ?
      Are they little grey people that have built sophisticated Tin Cans in order to fly around Earth late at night scaring the BeeJeezus out of the locals ?
      Or are you more of the Carl Jung “psychic -projections -of -a-fragmented psyche” bent.
      This latter I could not rule out on the scale of collective psychosis, but its a long shot.

      1. So you think Russia or China discovered and exploited entirely new laws of physics way back in the 1950s?

        1. SS General Hans Kammler and his team were working on this technology during WW2. See the references I recommend below.

          1. If they’ve cracked zero point energy and invented anti-gravity drives, why would they still be relying on olde worlde nuclear weapons and jet-powered hypersonic missiles for their defence?

            1. See my remarks June 26th below – major exploitation and control cartels would instantly evaporate.

            1. The Nazis emerged from the Thule Society – and the Vrill before that… They were both big believers in a whole alien cosmology.

              While there is lots of evidence to support the idea that Nazis were working on these kinds of crafts – and “Foo Fighters” seen over Germany by US and allied pilots…there us no evidence that the Nazis were aliens, themselves.

        I am more the strictly empirical university science professor type who goes by hard evidence. When it comes to trusting some sort of “authority” or my own “lying eyes,” I’m going with what I’ve observed with my own senses. Truthful reports of observations made with our senses are the foundation of the scientific method. The fancy gizmos we may use to observe or record only amplify our senses, extend our range into the spectra we may study and facilitate the sharing of information.
        ~
        Many people over a long historical period and a wide geographic range claim to have seen such “phenomena.” To my knowledge, no one has ever reported the existence of a human technology that can cause what you consider to be mass delusions, i.e., the projection of actual mass apparitions in the sky, not movies, TV shows or social media prestidigitation. That’s as unlikely as a revolutionary “new physics” being discovered but suppressed for the better part of a century or beyond. More likely, considering the aforementioned factors of extensive generations and geography, and the application of Ocham’s Razor, the observations are real and not “mere” mass delusions.

    Another possible reason for getting the public attuned to UFO’s could be the advent of ‘loitering munitions’ that can stay aloft for long periods and have reconaissance applications. Some of these may incorporate stealth technologies and can operate at hypersonic speeds, so we may well start seeing strange things in the sky in the context of a new Cold War that may have no obvious “explanation” . I wonder if they have set up hotlines yet for reporting this stuff. The sore beset public may be the last line of defence here.

    “A “multi-role” weapon design that can accept “modular payloads” also means that these loitering munitions could take on non-kinetic strike missions, such as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance and electronic warfare. Depending on how the Pentagon, and now the Army, envisions employing the Vintage Racer system, it might be possible to deploy them in networked autonomous swarms, where different configured variants take on various roles. Sensor carrying versions could spot targets for ones with kinetic payloads or direct those with electronic warfare jammers to scramble enemy air defenses. “

    1. I think the idea of ‘Vintage Racer’ is a hypersonic thingy able to deliver loitering munitions.
      “The slide describes Vintage Racer as a hypersonic weapon meant to deliver loitering munitions to a target area.”

  21. Nine pages?! A laughable insult.
    Everyone (incl. our enemas du jour) knows better.
    But let me re-iterate a theme/scenario I have been through here before: If the apparent technologies of zero point energy and anti-gravity (which seem paired/related for reasons I do not fully understand) exist, the real fear is that the peasantry (anyone with assets of less than 1 B U$D) might get hold of this knowledge – which would within about 24 hours – evaporate the energy, transportation, and “governments” cartels as we have (unfortunately) known them.
    If you have no foothold in the area, try Nick Cook’s The Hunt for Zero Point and Igor Witkowski’s book about the Wunderwaffen.

  22. Birds?
    Scientists say more than FOUR BILLION birds have ‘disappeared’ from European and North American skies over the past fifty years.
    Maybe they’re regrouping and fighting back.

    1. And how would Flanker41 know it ‘creates a field of anti-gravity around the ship’, whatever that is? Q clearance?

      1. Check with the Manufacturer – Lockheed.

        Just because you fail to understand something – doesn’t mean that ot isn’t ‘a thing’.

        1. I take it you checked with Lockheed, who were happy to confirm that “It uses highly pressured mercury accelerated by nuclear energy to produce a plasma that creates a field of anti-gravity around the ship.”
          Q clearance?

          1. The POINT is not that the US Military or their highly classified contractors ACKNOWLEDGE their Black Budget projects – but that there is adequate talk of them elsewhere, that confirm their existence – if you know where to look. Of course, minds are like parachutes – they only work when open.

            What is your understanding of the propulsion systems on the TR3-B AURORA system…? If you know enough to shit on things – then I suppose it’s YOU with the Q Clearance, and the access to Sensitive Compartmented Intelligence information.

    Well, I guess it is obvious that the US taxpayer must underwrite a vast new weapons program to counter this aggression from …er…holograms or whatever.

    1. Hypothetical possible future aggression. None has been observed yet!
      ‘Potential National Security Challenges
      We currently lack data to indicate any UAP are part of a foreign collection program or indicative of a major technological advancement by a potential adversary. We continue to monitor for evidence of such programs given the counter intelligence challenge they would pose, particularly as some UAP have been detected near military facilities or by aircraft carrying the USG’s most advanced sensor systems.’

      1. I do recall an incident years ago where an underground nuclear missile facility was “turned off” by a UFO which hovvered above the spot. Seems to me they are trying to stop us from self-destructing, which is probably why we are having so many sightings the crazier we get.
        I saw a UFO streak across the sky over the ocean many years ago, and telephoned the UFO society the next day, to be told they were all up and down our coast at the time. Nothing I know of in our current technology at the time or even today could have travelled so fast.

        1. Anything to do with the UFO above the nuclear site?
          “Air Force records obtained by The Associated Press show that service members entrusted with guarding nuclear missiles bought, distributed and used the hallucinogen LSD and other mind-altering illegal drugs.”
          https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/security-troops-u-s-nuclear-missile-base-took-lsd-records-n877056

  26. ‘Our analysis of the data supports the construct that if and when individual UAP incidents are resolved they will fall into one of five potential explanatory categories: airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, USG or U.S. industry developmental programs, foreign adversary systems, and a catchall “other” bin.’
    ‘We were able to identify one reported UAP with high confidence. In that case, we identified the object as a large, deflating balloon.’
    An LDB, to coin a bit of jargon. Will we be seeing a multi-decade multi-billion dollar War on Balloons (and airborne clutter)?

      1. “I think if push comes to shove it is easy to shoot down a big flying piece of metal.”
        They reckon it’s pretty hard to shoot down these hypersonic missiles.

        1. The Russians have admitted to having those kinds of technologies, not just the US. But the craft of Terrestrial craft origins known as TR3-B’s behave nothing like the generation of weapons that you and Poopular Mechanics are describing.

          Why not take a look at the ACTUAL history of this Pentagon PSYOP in the making?

          https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/pentagonaliens/pentagonaliens.htm

          1. I don’t notice a single equation in all that.
            I did notice “Numerous centers throughout the world conduct “gravity research”, to ‘prove’ Newton’s laws. The only parts of these old laws which have been brought into question, deal only with the first few inches of a falling body’s acceleration,” which totally ignores such things as Cassini’s orbits of Saturn, or GPS satellites which go beyond Newton’s laws and validate Einstein’s. Try doing Cassini or GPS with some half-baked Illuminati gobbledygook.

            1. I don’t see any evidence that Newton’s or Einstein’s theories of gravity are wrong. Instead, an assertion that “a falling body will cease to accelerate when it reaches a velocity of about 120 m.p.h.’, which it’s proposed can be tested using a long evacuated tube and dropping a clock down it, when we’ll supposedly find the clock reaches this maximum speed. Why bother? Space missions regularly use the gravity of planets, including our own, to reach far, far greater speeds – why would this evacuated tube prove any different?
              Also interesting to see the Nazis bypassed atom bombs and invented neutron bombs (no mention of how they achieved this, or why they didn’t use them), then gave the technology to the USA in 1945, which the USA then used to develop its own neutron bombs – which (and this isn’t in the text) rely on atom bombs to work. Could it be the author has no idea what neutron bombs are or how they work – or have the Illuminati concealed the truth again?

              1. There’s OTHER SOURCES which have come to the same conclusions about NAZI TECHNOLOGY – imported through Canada – by Lawrence Rockefeller (ya DICK). It should be noted, that’s ALSO who funds Dr. John Mack and “The Disclosure Project”. But leave it to you to get lost down in the weeds – and do all the hard work it takes – to deliberately avoid seeing the big picture.

                Nixon was working on plans to FAKE an Alien Invasion, back in the 1950’s – in order to allow the US to ‘take over the world’. He also helped to bring in Nazis, on Long Island. (Sorry – but to my knowledge, the sources in this aren’t digitized and on the web. John Judge – “Judge for Yourself”) Without a credible technology to fake such an invasion – I wonder… how would they have planned to carry that trick off? Notice that Reagan’s famous speech at the UN (about aliens) seemed to be pointing in that same direction.

                But I notice that you have an obtuse answer for everything and the everyone. I don’t suppose you’re ever going to see the forest, for all of the trees.

                1. So you don’t know what’s wrong with Newton’s or Einstein’s ideas of gravity, and you can’t say how the Nazis bypassed atom bombs and still developed neutron bombs.
                  Your forest consists of fantasies, not trees – fairy tales with technobabble.

                  1. The notion that Newton and Einstein were wrong seems absolutely central to this supposed anti-gravity you think the TR3-B uses.
                    Yet you can’t say what they got wrong, or how come Newton’s ideas enabled Cassini to get to Saturn and loop in and out of its rings with exquisite precision, or how Einstein’s mistaken theory still allows GPS to work.
                    You can’t have a forest without trees, but you can have orbits within rings..
                    http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=42372

                  2. Gravity is the sticky element in the grand unified field theory. As you approach the speed of light, what happens to mass?

                    I think it’s hilarious that your script of strawman argumentd for that book (which let’s be honest – you didn’t read at all, much less that quickly) don’t disprove the thesis – they just imply that it’s incorrect, based upon your inability to account for everything within. Way to EARN those paychecks.

                    1. Mass increases as you approach the speed
                      of light. What’s that got to do with it? What’s wrong with Newton or Einstein’s ideas?

                    2. Neither have the entire picture of how Gravity behaves, completely…at least so far as we’re allowed know, about all of what Einstein had figured out… I notice that you COMPLETELY IGNORE Tesla – whose work was scooped up by the Government after his death.

                      If mass increases with speed – that would have some effect on gravity, wouldn’t it? And if one’s speed were around the Z axis – what then… Socrates was wise enough to say “the only thing I KNOW – is that I know nothing”… By way of contrast – you’re a big enough fool to think that you know everything – when you really know nothing. And yet you presume to be an expert, on subjects far beyond your level knowledge, and which few outside of the Pentagon can speak with any surety. And yet here you are again – with your SeaLioning and White Noize.

        now, if you are in “freefall” there must be a force associated with moving your mass from one place to the next, must there not? Without force, I believe Newton conjectured ain’t nothing moving. Seems sensible to me, but remember this – Calculus is flawed at the edges because the square of an infinitesimally small value still ain’t zero, but the whole math of Calculus arises from the necessary up-front assumption that practically never comes into play unless you living in the dreamland of quantum physics.

        Bunch of foolish swirling wastefulness happening there in Switzerland. And it is based on Calculus, which I just pointed out is flawed at the edges.

        Looking forward to the Olympic and dear God please release Julian Assange from unjust detention so that he can be with his family and any man wants to be.
