Hi everyone,

An article about UFO's that are interesting NASA.

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230726-the-weird-incidents-piquing-nasas-interest

**********

Then came a voice through the crackle of the radio.

It was an operations officer aboard the warship USS Princeton, asking them to investigate a suspicious object flitting around: on several occasions, it had been spotted 80,000ft (24.2km) high, before suddenly dropping close to the sea and apparently vanishing.

When the two jets arrived at its last known location, close to the ocean's surface, the water seemed almost to be boiling. Moments later Dietrich saw it: what seemed to be a whitish, oblong object around 40ft (12m) long, hovering just above the water – like a wingless capsule, which she described as resembling a Tic Tac. As they edged in closer, it was gone, accelerating off into the sky at what seemed an impossible speed, leaving a glassy expanse of regular sea behind.

This was the infamous "Tic Tac" incident of 2004, which later went viral when a video captured by advanced tracking equipment on one of the planes was leaked to the New York Times. In the footage, eventually confirmed to be authentic by the US Department of Defense, the object can be seen as an oblong shadow against a bright sky, before suddenly lurching off-camera to the left at uncanny speed.

It's just one of hundreds of peculiar incidents that have made it into the hands of serious officials in recent years.

**********

Cheers.

If they exist, they are probably of earthly origin: top-secret military aircraft, etc. They can't be extra-terrestrial because of the vast distances involved, and the speed-of-light barrier.
I have a pet termite. His name is Clint. Clint eats wood.

Exactly.

Imagine beings capable of covering the vast distance with power we cannot imagine.

AND THEN THEY CRASHED!

I've only experienced one incident, while I was quietly eating a sandwich in a Clifton park. I wasn't drunk. I watched the seven or so grey, egg-shaped objects circling in the sky for a good two minutes. The phenomenon could more easily be explained as top-secret military aircraft, as you suggest.
Unless someone had slipped LSD in my Oxfam coffee :-)

Or, even more mundanely, weather balloons or unusual cloud formations.

Definitely not cloud formations in my case - they eventually vanished into a cloud, moving very fast. But no doubt many of these fantastical phenomena have perfectly mundane explanations.

Many people don't think these are mere mundane matters. Check out the UFO hearing...

https://www.npr.org/2023/07/27/1190390376/ufo-hearing-non-human-biologics-uaps

**********
Three military veterans testified in Congress' highly anticipated hearing on UFOs Wednesday, including a former Air Force intelligence officer who claimed the U.S. government has operated a secret "multi-decade" reverse engineering program of recovered vessels. He also said the U.S. has recovered non-human "biologics" from alleged crash sites.

"My testimony is based on information I have been given by individuals with a longstanding track record of legitimacy and service to this country — many of whom also shared compelling evidence in the form of photography, official documentation, and classified oral testimony," Grusch said, adding that the trove of evidence has been intentionally kept secret from Congress.

The former intelligence officer also told the panel that he and several other colleagues have been the targets of "administrative terrorism," and that he has at times feared for his life since coming forward.

Was any of the "information I have been given by individuals with a longstanding track record of legitimacy and service to this country — many of whom also shared compelling evidence in the form of photography, official documentation, and classified oral testimony" shared with Congress? If not, how do we know Grusch wasn't just making it up?
