Interesting to me how the mainstream media is running with this now. Why? There are tons of UFO reports from military eye witnesses going back to WWII. Why are we now getting this wave of, ok it’s reasonable to elevate this topic to nightly news and congressional inquiry?


I think the biggest driver, besides the whole "it's aliens!?" thing, is the fact that one of the most advanced - if not the most advanced - navy/military are completely clueless of some phenomena and can't come up with proper justifications for such events.

You have pilots reports, supposedly the best trained observers, that:

- saw some tech they've never seen before that impressed beyond belief;

- or after all the best squadrons can be easily fooled/deceived/ by something, or even on their own with optical illusions and group pressure.

- or that are willing to lie about some event to have some fame and spotlight.

Then you have the best radar systems, jets, and overall military tech that:

- are properly tracking unidentified tech;

- have flaws and glitches, way more then we would have expected - even arrays of systems are failing/glitching all together;

- are not properly tested and fail to filter stuff that shouldn't appear;

- can be manipulated by foreign entities;

- are operated by individuals who are not properly trained to operate and interpret the information output.

What ever the scenario is, it's not good.


Because we wanted to get ahead of it since our adversaries now have this technology too and it’s not that secret anymore?
