UFO report: Government can't explain 143 of 144 mysterious flying objects, blames limited data

The U.S. government can't explain 143 of the 144 cases of unidentified flying objects reported by military planes, according to a highly anticipated intelligence report released Friday.

According to the report, there were 18 incidents reported in which the UAPs that were seen featured some sort of "unusual movement patterns or flight characteristics" including propulsion or other technology that wasn't evident and that could be advanced. Eleven of the incidents reported were near misses with military planes, the report said.

"Some UAP appeared to remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernable means of propulsion," the report said, in describing those incidents. "In a small number of cases, military aircraft systems processed radio frequency (RF) energy associated with UAP sightings," the report added.

Man... wait til you get to the Wallfacers Project

the Wallbreakers were cold as ice

Nigggaaaaa. We got bodied by the droplet




I’m halfway they Deaths End. Don’t want it to end

The Droplets were the definition of anti-climactic... like Red Wedding-esque lol. That is the most invested I've been in a fictional battle in years. Hundreds of years of build up, and all of our weaponry gets merked by a damn drone . Great writing for sure.

Wallfacers & Wallbreakers are one of those ideas where I'm just at awe at how good of a writer Cixin Liu is. They were disrespectful when they figured out the plans lol. Also, the dude that got stoned to death by his own people

Zhang Behai getting merked for survival purposes was sad but logical. Smh @ Earth faking the ship out with a hero's welcome and then murdering them for crimes against humanity. Definitely some twisted shyt

Just wrapped up Death's End myself after +4 hours straight of reading today to get through the last 100 pages or so lol. That intro chapter that takes place in medieval times was random AF and completely threw me off initially. After the way that Dark Forest ended, I wanted things to pick back up immediately, but they switched the format and started grabbing chapters from his other books. Typing out the explanation in this thread made me double back.

Spoiler

Also, apparently there is a fan fiction book after Death's End that is called 'The Redemption of Time'. Don't read the synopsis because it contains spoilers, but it was cosigned by the original author, is big enough that it's for sale on Amazon and was translated by the original translator too

$770B defense bill includes agency to investigate UFOs - S.G.E

The X-Files are moving out of the basement.

A provision buried deep in the $770 billion military spending bill that the US Senate passed on Wednesday calls for the creation of a new agency to investigate reports of UFO sightings.

Under Section 1683 of the

National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2022, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and National Intelligence Director Avril Haines have to establish an “office, organizational structure, and authorities to address unidentified aerial phenomena” within 180 days after President Biden signs the bill into law.

Among its duties, the new agency will “evaluate links between unidentified aerial phenomena and adversarial foreign governments, other foreign governments, or nonstate actors” and “the threat that such incidents present to the United States.”

It will also have to submit annual reports to “the appropriate congressional committees” and give the committees classified briefings twice a year.

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

The opening act came in June, when the Pentagon and the director of national intelligence delivered an astonishing report to Congress addressing UAPs. Most of these phenomena turn out to have prosaic explanations — such as weather balloons, space debris and atmospheric effects in the sky — with a small percentage exhibiting unusual flight characteristics that suggest advanced technology.

The June report, however, found the opposite: It could account for only one of the 144 UAP sightings between 2004 and 2021 that it examined, including 80 observed with multiple sensors such as high-tech military radar and infrared cameras mounted on warplanes.

Take one of the most memorable sightings, caught on infrared camera in 2004. Navy pilots flying from the USS Nimitz spotted a 40-foot white object resembling a Tic Tac mint levitating erratically above the waters off the California coast. As the pilots approached, the Tic Tac — despite lacking wings or any sign of propulsion — rose to meet them midair before speeding instantly away, vanishing. The report did not conclude what the Tic Tac or any other UAPs are, and it could not attribute them to secret technology developed by the U.S. or any adversaries.

Now Congress wants answers. In November, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) authored legislation creating an office to study UAPs government-wide and report to Congress. Then the Defense Department tried to stake its claim to the issue, shortly after announcing the formation of its own UAP unit. Its team would investigate only UAPs spotted in sensitive military airspace, and it would operate without congressional supervision. Some criticized the half-measure as a preemptive ploy to avert oversight, though the Pentagon denies those claims.

But Gillibrand and a bipartisan bloc of lawmakers, including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), were not deterred. They steered legislation through Congress — attached as an amendment to the annual defense bill, sent to President Biden’s desk Wednesday to be signed into law — that establishes a new office to study UAPs. The amendment also requires unclassified reports on UAPs delivered to Congress each year, as well as semiannual classified briefings to legislators.

The move represents the most significant public progress yet to understand UAPs. For all its dysfunction, only Congress has the institutional power and legitimacy to lead this conversation.

UAPs intersect with topics as wide-ranging as aerospace technology, national security and potential health effects on individuals exposed to these craft. No single agency has the multidisciplinary know-how or legal authority to tackle all these questions. For example, the Pentagon unit’s intended focus on military airspace would ignore the Federal Aviation Administration and civilian flight safety.

A comprehensive strategy from Congress is needed. The office created by the Gillibrand amendment accordingly will take a broad approach by investigating UAPs across jurisdictional lines, prioritizing areas of scientific study and requiring various agencies to collaborate — not only the Defense Department and the Federal Aviation Administration but also the Energy Department, intelligence community, NASA and others. It will develop a science plan to investigate striking physical characteristics of UAPs (like their speed) and potentially replicate any advanced UAP technologies. And the new office will seek to understand the global nature of these phenomena, directing outreach to foreign allies.

In particular, the office will analyze whether UAPs represent foreign adversarial technology or otherwise pose a threat. That should be its top priority. The June report stated that UAPs, in addition to representing a flight safety hazard, “may pose a challenge to U.S. national security.” Given the regular sightings in military airspace — and the apparent connection between UAPs and nuclear technology — national security concerns are paramount.

In setting up this office, Congress has legitimized the long-ridiculed topic of UAPs. Yet its work does not end there. It must ensure that the office receives adequate funding and make clear that the office should be led by a civilian director with the expertise necessary to tackle these issues and cut through the Pentagon’s red tape.

Of course, the perspectives of defense and intelligence officials will be crucial. But the Pentagon has a long history of obfuscating work relating to UAPs, whereas Congress can promote transparency. Once the office has delivered its first unclassified report, Congress should hold public hearings to discuss its findings.

Now that legislators have marshaled action on UAPs, they need to make sure the new office does not become shrouded in secrecy.

we gonna see some shyt within the next 5 years regarding UFO's/USO's/UAP's.
humanity is due for a real game changing shake up.

They been leaking shyt out in the news for years bro. All those planets they said are similar to earth and may have life like Trappist 1 star system Gilese C all those shyts have life.

The raido signals they been receiving thats life. I just think it's a clause amongst the governments where they can't outright admit it yet.

It also would mean admitting to all of the criminal shyt they did in order to keep it a secret, and there's no way they're gonna do that. All those people that went "missing", the confiscation of devices, destruction of evidence... Highly doubt anyone's ever gonna answer to that.

That's why they're gonna use the narrative that it's a new phenomenon.

This is 100% fact. For them to admit the historical connection would be to admit that they did purposely obfuscate and destroy lives of service members and civilians for decades. The government would be held liable for billions. It makes more sense to take the approach they are taking now, which is to admit a phenomenon and use the 2004 USS Nimitz incident as the de facto starting point.


It doesn’t matter how they got to this point because here we are. The government admitted ufo’s are real and Congress just passed legislation requiring all the US Government intelligence agencies to work together, investigate and report back to them, not only on ufo’s but the health effect people have who interacted with them. Also they are required to work to reverse engineer the technology. This is now law. People let that sink in. That is historic.

I view aliens the same way I view god. Do they exist? It's possible, perhaps probable. But I don't believe they'd had any interaction with man and if they did they wouldn't give a shyt. We're in an age where damn near everyone in western society, and other societies, has a high resolution camera in their pocket. Yet every time there's talk of aliens it's always grainy video. Whether it's caught on a satellite, military, personal, whatever. The object is always distant, you can't see anything clear. Nah.

If aliens existed and regularly visited earth, someone would have shot decent footage by now.

Right. In terms of Roswell, we might never know what really happened there, because that would implicate a LOT of people. But should more information come out and it turns out that aliens DO exist and that it's confirmed that they have been visiting us, we can surmise that at least some of the information that was leaked might be true. We'd just have to piece what we know and what ends up coming out officially.

Plus, yeah, the fact that they're working to reverse engineer any technology they manage to retrieve (which is a whole other conversation entirely) is a big deal. Plus since there seems to be physical and psychological effects related to UFO sightings apparently, I don't think every sighting is just hallucination or a balloon or a plane or a flare. I'm not saying it's aliens, but it's something. And it's enough to get a lot of these people spooked now.

Fair point to make. But let's think about it. Let's say I saw something and I posted it here for all the Coli brehs to see. Video evidence and all. How many do you think are going to see that video and think, "that's an alien! "? A good majority are going to be skeptical, and for good reason. Maybe it's a balloon, or a flare, a plane perhaps. Or, maybe brehs here think I doctored the video in order to hoax others. Why do you think it'd be met with skepticism instead of an open mind? Because we're constantly told "this is impossible", "this doesn't make sense", "there's no reason for them to want to visit us!" And yet, there's been plenty of eye-witness accounts from eras well before we had the power of electricity in our hands. I don't think every single incident was imagined or is a result of a hallucination, that's a huge stretch.

Now of course, there's a lot of scam artists and crazies in the mix that makes it that much harder to believe things, so skepticism is always needed. You believe in one thing too much without critical thinking, and you end up like those QAnon Trump supporters. But I do think there's probably a lot of evidence we do see that we just write off because it's not conclusive enough. Even if government agencies around the world were to release footage and images, how many people do you think would believe that? They'd just say it's CGI, not realizing that a thing like that would defy our perceptions and would absolutely look unreal. And with conspiracy theorists rolling out the "Project Bluebeam" stuff, even if they just landed in the middle of Wrigley Field, people would call it a hologram hoax funded by the elites. Society has laughed at the idea of aliens for decades and filed them under fiction, walking that back isn't going to be easy.

Also in terms of the "why would they visit us?" question... We're thinking about that from a human perspective, and trying to apply that to something that's NOT human. We know a lot about Earth, but there's a lot of places we still haven't explored, like the bottom of our seas I believe. We might not know that there's more to what's going on than we're aware of. They could be here for any kind of reason.

If life in the universe doesn't exist anywhere else, I'd be extremely skeptical. Especially when we've found "Earth-like Planets" allegedly. Being the only ones in the universe with sentience and the ability to reason... I feel like that's even more hard to believe than something visiting us.

I originally had the same sentiment until I had my first experience. These crafts travel so fast that its very difficult to get good footage. Our cell phones aren't designed to capture small vehicle sized objects that whiz through the sky at such great speed.

Anyone interested in the topic needs to watch this video. Dr Nolan is a top Stanford professor and claim to be in possession of UFO artifacts from a crash. He also suggest that people who have had UFO encounters may be more likely to have a unique brain structure. Its wild...
