Opinion of the SETI Nuggets Editor On The Prevalence of UAPs Buzzing Military Bases, August 25, 2023

A UAP, or swarms of UAPs, buzzing a military base should not be interpreted as providing a strategic defense.

"Could aliens have influence over every human invention ever?"

My Comments

Perhaps the YouTube is correct. Fascinating point of view, harking back to the Greek philosophers.

HD images of ET spacecraft needed for conclusive proof, SETI Nuggets Editor, August 2, 2023

In US Government House records, it appears David Grusch read in his resume.

There is no way that individual is throwing the bull about UAPs. That along with implicit corroboration by members of the intelligence committees at the recent House hearing.

There were government officials at that hearing in the intelligence community who know the truth about UAPs and ETs.

If I was POTUS I could obtain NEW HD images of ET spacecraft in less that a month without relying on current programs.

Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), 1983, US Department of State, Archived

https://2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/time/rd/104253.htm

"On March 23, 1983 in a televised address to the nation, U.S. President Ronald Reagan announced his intention to embark upon groundbreaking research into a national defense system that could make nuclear weapons obsolete. The research took a number of forms which collectively were called the Strategic Defense Initiative, or SDI."

"The heart of the SDI program was a plan to develop a space-based missile defense program that could protect the country from a large-scale nuclear attack. The proposal involved many layers of technology that would enable the United States to identify and destroy automatically a large number of incoming ballistic missiles as they were launched, as they flew, and as they approached their targets. The idea was dependent on futuristic technology, including space-based laser systems that had not yet been developed, although the idea had been portrayed as real in science fiction. As a result, critics of the proposal nicknamed SDI "Star Wars" after the movie of the same name."

I wonder if various world leaders already have speeches ready to announce there are aliens in secret warehouses and the government has been lying for years.

Perhaps US President Biden will say he didn't know about the UFO retrieval program.

Several aviators describe UAPs that appear to be a cube inside a sphere.

For example, “It was basically a cube inside a sphere” US Navy Lt. Ryan Graves on UFO sighting over the Atlantic.

https://twitter.com/history/status/1141460771618078730?lang=en

That geometrical configuration is far from the run of the mill notions of UFO shapes, saucers, spheres, etc.

On considering the description "basically a cube inside a sphere” I recognized where I saw something like that: Leonardo da Vinci's the “Vitruvian Man” (1480-1490).

Stunned by UFOs, ‘exasperated’ fighter pilots get little help from Pentagon, The Hill, July 5, 2022

https://thehill.com/opinion/national-security/3545072-stunned-by-ufos-exasperated-fighter-pilots-get-little-help-from-pentagon/

"For months before and after the incident, aircrews flying in “exclusive use” training areas off the U.S. East Coast frequently observed unknown objects exhibiting highly anomalous flight characteristics. Despite the collision hazard posed by the UFOs, aviators lacked a formal mechanism to report the mysterious objects."

My Comments

If UFOs have inhabited the Navy's “exclusive use” training areas off the US East Coast for centuries they may consider the Navy aviators an invasive species.

When UAP skeptics express their theories about flocks of birds and weather balloons, how do they refute data such as this (below)? SETI scientists don't refute data, they ignore it.

Why does the US Congress get classified briefings on UAPs? Because they want to educate members of Congress about weather balloons and faulty radar?
