My Comments

October 13, 2021 William Shatner flew into space on Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin New Shepard rocket. On returning to Earth, Captain James T Kirk was very enthusiastic, waxing lyrical about the experience but his flight was at subwarp speed, not capable of interstellar travel.

I suggest to Jeff Bezos that he use some of his strategic resources to search for recovered alien spacecraft and reverse engineer them to improve his aerospace technology.

Former USAF Officers to present evidence of UFOs Tampering with Nuclear Weapons, Cision PR Newswire, October 7, 2021

"A panel of former U.S. Air Force officers will discuss their involvement in UFO incidents at nuclear missile launch facilities and test sites during the Cold War era. Witness affidavits that substantiate the reality of UFO activity at nuclear weapons sites will be available."

My Comments

These incidents occurred in 1967 and repeatability is an important part of the scientific method. The data is ancient and relying on it as an SDI is dangerous.

The important value of the discussion will be to add credible evidence to the existence of off-world UAPs. Will the former USAF officers say the incidents took place because of aliens and not some causes that are more mundane? Why are the officers convinced the effect was due to UFOs and not from Earth?

The discussion will be hosted on YouTube October 19, 2021:

Former Pentagon UFO official writing 'shocking' tell-all book, Fox News, Sep. 23, 2021

"Luis Elizondo joins 'Kennedy' to discuss his upcoming book and congresses' push for new permanent UFO office."

My Comments

Lue's book deal was previously announced by the Hollywood Reporter. Now Lue verifies the existence of his book deal on Fox News, so it appears his book will at some point be released to the public.

According to Wikipedia: "Luis Elizondo is a former U.S. Army Counterintelligence Special Agent and former employee of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence."

Lue's UAP disclosure facts in his upcoming book probably will be limited by secrecy oaths and nondisclosure agreements he agreed to when working for the DoD.

Perhaps he will discuss in his book already published material he can expand on. The public will determine if his book is actually a 'shocking' tell-all book.

NORAD should search for UAPs, by the SETI Nuggets Editor

The DoD UAP Unclassified Report (June 25, 2021)

"After carefully considering this information, the UAPTF focused on reports that involved UAP largely witnessed firsthand by military aviators and that were collected from systems we considered to be reliable. These reports describe incidents that occurred between 2004 and 2021, with the majority coming in the last two years as the new reporting mechanism became better known to the military aviation community."

"Most reports described UAP as objects that interrupted pre-planned training or other military activity."

My Comments

It appears the unclassified report did not include data from satellites. There is no mention of 'satellites' or 'geospatial' in the report. According to the DoD report: "the UAPTF focused on reports that involved UAP largely witnessed firsthand by military aviators."

A researcher who wants to study UAPs to understand their nature or intent should request NORAD to use its satellites, radar, computers, and other resources.

Using encounters witnessed firsthand by military aviators is very limiting in scope. Without waiting for encounters between aviators and UAPS, NORAD should be able to find UAPs and determine if they fly in other-world ways such as hovering in place, accelerating rapidly, maneuvering in right-angles, diving under the water.

Means and methods should be redacted but questions about UAPs could be ascertained:

How many UAPs are detected daily?
How many UAPs are detected over a period of time?
Are there many UAPs hovering in place, accelerating rapidly, maneuvering in right-angles, diving under the water and emerging into the air?
Can UAPs be categorized into various alien civilizations?
Are UAPs distributed globally or only in specific locations such as countries, and military bases, or other facilities?
How close are UAPs flying to military and commercial aircraft?
Do UAPs pose an overall threat?
Are there patterns of flights such as migration paths?

My Conclusion

Omitting 'satellites' or 'geospatial' data inputs for this, and other, UAP reports eliminates the best source of UAP data.

It is likely NORAD is analyzing their available data to study UAPs. I think the Senate Report Accompanying the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, as described in the DoD report appendix B, stated the report inputs should include:

A detailed analysis of unidentified phenomena data collected by:

a. Geospatial Intelligence

b. Signals Intelligence

c. Human Intelligence

I started a new web page: David Adair.

My recent view on the Roswell UFO crash and alien cadavers, changed from the traditional story about weather balloons or the Mogul project. I now think it is probable there was an alien spacecraft crash in Roswell, NM, in 1947.

The facts that convinced me there was a UFO crash in Roswell started with the DoD film interview of military base mortician, W. Glenn Davis (or Dennis) who described the alien cadavers, the Sheridan transcript in the USAF 994 page debunking pdf, and importantly the YouTube videos of David T Adair who claims to have seen an alien spacecraft underground in the Groom Lake military structure.

'A total lack of focus': Lawmaker on a mission to compel Pentagon to take UFOs seriously, Politico, September 25, 2021

"There has been a growing number of reports in recent years from Navy pilots and other military personnel of highly advanced craft of unknown origin violating protected airspace, some of them maneuvering in ways that seem to defy known aerodynamics."

"Arizona Democrat and Iraq War veteran Rep. Ruben Gallego this week pushed through legislation in the House requiring a permanent office under the secretary of Defense to oversee "the timely and consistent reporting" of what the military calls "unidentified aerial phenomena." And it must share what it learns with Congress at least once a year."

"There's been a total lack of focus across the national security apparatus to actually get at what's happening here," Gallego, who chairs the Armed Services Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations, said in his first extensive interview on the bill. "I think there has been kind of a partial pastime of curiosity seekers that are within the Department of Defense but there has not been any professional initiative across the defense enterprise so that we can actually make some deliberate and knowledgeable decisions."

In my opinion, the project should set up equipment that could substantiate the Navy Tic Tac UAPs that have been reported in the news.

Also, because global coverage might not be practicable, the project researchers should scour the news and find the exact locations where the celebrated Tic Tacs appeared on the west and east coasts. Those are the locations where the project should place their radar and infrared sensors.

David Adair NASCAR to Nevada & Area 51, January 25, 2021

"David Adair shares his story from humble beginnings of building Nascar racing engines in Florida, rockets in his backyard workshop and cow pasture in West Virginia, launching fusion engine prototype rocket in New Mexico to inspecting extra-terrestrial spacecraft underground in Area 51 Nevada."

My Comments

This is a great interview of David Adair but I do not know if what he says is true or false.

in my opinion, there are inconsistencies in his story.

1. David says he blew up his pitholem rocket when in Area 51 he overheard people talking about first strike capability. Hard to believe that's the first time he heard the term because David was working for the USAF and General Curtis LeMay.

2. In some YouTube videos David Adair says there was no danger of a nuclear explosion if the rocket misfired. In other videos he says when he was preparing to launch his rocket he told other people watching the launch the rocket would be OK or blow up leaving their shadows on the neighboring buildings.

The serendipitous events in his life seem remarkable. He was born with a photographic memory, gained knowledge through dreams, had full access to a NASCAR machine shop, had a librarian who let him buy thousands of books, was connected through his mother, a nurse, to General Curtis LeMay, and got support from congressman John Ashbrook.

On the side of believability, David Adair has interacted with many people and he has received very few online negative comments. So we need to decide to believe, or not, he saw an ET spacecraft 200 feet deep underground Groom Lake Nevada, and that David's knowledge of physics is at the level of Stephen Hawking.

Looking for Interstellar Monuments, Scientific American, September 11, 2021, by Avi Loeb

"An ancient civilization from a distant star could have created immortal machines to roam the Milky Way and keep its legacy alive."

"But for the rest of us, our physical remains of the rest of us stays on Earth, where we are left with the fundamental question of what to leave behind so that we will be remembered. Cave dwellers left marks on the walls of their caves. Emperors, kings, wealthy individuals and university officials have left statues or portraits that preserve their physical appearance. Architects have created buildings. But the best monuments are not physical; rather, they are spiritual in nature."

"The recently announced Galileo Project could potentially discover extraterrestrial monuments as they pass near Earth. Autonomous avatars could have been sent by other beings long ago, so that by now those beings have perished. The discovery of advanced technological artifacts will provide the same sense of awe as the discovery of prehistoric cave paintings."

My Comments

1. Perhaps Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb should have spent his life's errorts researching life extension instead of astrophysics. In my opinion, it is likely that at a standard pace of scientific progress within 50 to 100 years from now humans will understand DNA and the biological aging mechanisms sufficiently to extend the average human life-span to hundreds of years.

2. Hopefully, an ET civilization before it blinks out will send a signal containing details about steps for life extension leap-frogging by thousands of years ordinary research by humans.

3. The social sciences are filled with theories and musings about the motivational value of death, for example by individuals such as Sigmund Freud and Ernest Becker.

The cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker wrote "The Denial of Death" describing the human race after “immortality projects” also known as a causa sui in which individuals seek to become a part of something they conjecture will outlast their limited time on Earth.

When humans look up at the night sky we see stars that may have already perished. I hope an ET civilization sends an interstellar encyclopedia or tool box rather than an urn of an astronomer's ashes.

I watched episode 5 then saw it is part of a play list. The film was not for or against the existence of UAPs. A scientist describes a tectonic event called earthquake lights however this phenomenon is optical and wouldn't be detected on radar.

The episode explains why existing satellites don't detect UAPs.

From the Alien Files ep 5:

"Another mistake that ufologists often make with respect to satellite images is that they think if ufos are flying around the earth we should see one appear on the satellite image now and then when they say that they obviously do not realize that remote sensing satellites circle earth every 90 minutes at an altitude of 500 to 600 miles if we look at satellite images all we see is a bunch of tiny dots on a huge surface."

Repeatability and UAPs, by the SETI Nuggets Editor, August 6, 2021

Some people suggest scientific investigation of UAPs fails because sightings of UAPs are often not repeatable.

Repeatability is a sine qua non of science experiments. However, not all of science is investigated through experiments.

Examples: observing the Moon and Sun, or observing rare birds or insects, exploring a jungle and finding previously unknown mountains and rivers.

The one-off sighting of the oumuamua was analyzed by scientific tools but scientists cannot conjure up another sighting on demand.

I suggest that not all of science can be analyzed with repeatable experiments. In critiquing events, such as UAP sightings, failing a repeatability test does not clobber a scientific investigation.

Before telescopes were invented, when early humans looked to the skies and observed, without instruments, the Sun and the Moon their observations of those objects were scientifically valid but not repeatable. The observer need not summon up a second Sun or Moon to fulfil the repeatability requirement.

Demonstrating alien provenance, by the SETI Nuggets Editor, August 2, 2021

One of the goals of Project Galileo:

"1. Obtain High-resolution, Multi-detector UAP Images."

"A picture is worth a thousand words. For example, a megapixel image of the surface of a human-scale UAP object at a distance of a mile will allow to distinguish the label: “Made in Country X” from the potential alternative “Made by ETC Y” on a nearby exoplanet in our galaxy."

My Comments

Oumuamua was distinctive because of its unusual trajectory evidencing it was probably not from our solar system. If an astronomer took a megapixel image, say a Jpeg, showing it was labeled: “Made by ETC Y" that would provide significant evidence it was not made by humans.

An optical image of an object whether a sphere, or disc, or triangular in shape would place it in the category: 'UAP' on the grounds our adversaries can be spoofing ETs with that visual labeling: “Made by ETC Y".

Aerobatic maneuvers that defy the laws of physics, or far exceed the technological skills of humans, is a more convincing measurement of an object's ETC provenance than a megapixel image.

In my opinion, the Pentagon and NASA already have scientific proof of UAPs displaying aerobatic maneuvers that defy the laws of physics. If they want, the Pentagon and NASA could reveal this scientific data to the public.

Harvard’s Avi Loeb Thinks We Should Study UFOs and He’s Not Wrong, Scientific American, Dr Seth Shostak, July 29, 2021

Wikipedia: Dr Seth Shostak

Dr. Seth Shostak has been the senior astronomer at the SETI Institute since 2001. He writes a Scientific American article expressing some of his opinions about the recently launched Harvard Astronomy Project Galileo.

Project Galileo Goals

"The goal of the Galileo Project is to bring the search for extraterrestrial technological signatures of Extraterrestrial Technological Civilizations (ETCs) from accidental or anecdotal observations and legends to the mainstream of transparent, validated and systematic scientific research."

Astronomer Seth Shostak remarks:

"Avi Loeb, a Harvard astrophysicist who doesn’t hesitate to swim in the shark-infested waters of controversy, is proposing a major effort to find aliens in our solar system, perhaps even in our airspace. He has raised $1.7 million in private funding to launch something he calls the Galileo Project, an initiative to bring the rigor of experimental science to ufology."

"Is this project something to be lauded, or laughed at? Although academe may dismiss the Galileo Project as nothing more than pandering to a gullible public, such prejudice is unhelpful and myopic."

My Comments

There is a tectonic shift to rearrange the world's astronomy research priorities and budgets. The field of SETI may be treading water in the wake of the Pentagon's unclassified report on UAPs.

SETI is great to stir the imagination, but until now the SETI researchers have not detected any ETs whatsoever, nada, zilch, absolutely no ETs found.

I applaud the new Galileo Project by Harvard Astronomy Professor Avi Loeb and hope the research is fruitful. The UAP data in the Pentagon's report evidences verified facts that could potentially be experimentally duplicated by Project Galileo. This situation is in contrast to the starting point for SETI which had no data to build on.

Stephen Hawking's Stark Warning for Humans to Leave Earth, SmithsonianChannel, April 10, 2018

"Physicist Stephen Hawking issued a warning to humanity about the existential threats we face and how our survival depends on colonizing another planet."

"Professor Stephen Hawking and other scientists believe that to secure the future of the human species, we must colonize another planet."

"We now know that there is a planet around our stellar next door neighbor that could be suitable for colonization. Welcome to Proxima B. It's a little more massive than the Earth and it's almost certainly a rocky planet. And there might just be liquid water at the surface. Proxima B might be our best destination for mankind's new home. But although it's our nearest planet, Proxima B is still a very long way away. Getting there, even with the fastest rockets we have today, would take thousands of years."

Stephen Hawking: "I have no doubt that we will eventually find ways of crossing the immense distances of space in just a few years."

My Comments

It appears Stephen Hawking is saying humans will find a way to traverse interstellar space faster than the speed of light, or in some other not yet to be discovered way.

If a non-physicist made the same statement it would be laughed at.

Astronomers seek evidence of tech built by aliens, France24 News, July 26, 2021

"What we see in our sky is not something that politicians or military personnel should interpret, because they were not trained as scientists, it's for the science community to figure out," said Loeb, adding that he hoped to increase the project's funding tenfold."

"Apart from studying UFOs, the Galileo Project wants to investigate objects that visit our solar system from interstellar space, and searching for alien satellites that might be probing Earth."

"Loeb refers to such research as a new branch of astronomy he calls "space archaeology," intended to complement the existing field of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), which mainly probes for alien radio signals."

My Comments

1. Harvard Astronomy Professor Avi Loeb says: "What we see in our sky is not something that politicians or military personnel should interpret, because they were not trained as scientists".

I think Dr Avi Loeb erroneously conflates military personnel, who are end users of various sensors, and military scientists and engineers who designed and manufactured the sensors.

2. Professor Loeb says: "it's for the science community to figure out." Professor Loeb is part of a science community. That's perhaps the reason he praises them and delegates to them the responsibility for examining the new data he conceives his new Galileo Project may discover.

There are reasons not to extend enthusiastic credence to the "science community". SETI scientists have tried, mainly with radio telescopes, to discover intelligent life in the universe and to the best of my knowledge have come up with no discoveries. Zilch, nada, absolutely nothing. If they discovered ETs or LGMs they have not published any papers.

If the SETI scientists are bona fide scientists and they have over the span of decades discovered no intelligent life in the universe why should SETI scientists be thought of as part the group that will capably analyze the Galileo data?

In my opinion, the Pentagon, and almost definitely NASA, both have HD video proof of the existence of ET originated UAPs. It would be much more fruitful to declassify and distribute that data to the public's citizen scientists.

All data the Pentagon has on UAPs and ETs can be declassified by the POTUS. If he thinks there are no ETs what is the reason he doesn't declassify the UAP files?

Conclusion

Professor Loeb is at a high level in the academic world of astronomy so he has the ability to start a new branch of science he calls "space archaeology". "Archeology" seems to denote backward looking at ancient artifacts.

Dr Avi Loeb is correct in wanting to obtain more data such as high resolution photos of UAPs. However, I believe the Pentagon has for many years sufficient information from various types of sensors to have a high level of confidence the Tic Tac UAPs were built by ETs.

The existing military sensors were presumably built by excellent scientists and engineers. The sensors include eye witnesses, optical cameras, radar, infrared cameras, satellite images, and sonar.

Whenever a scientist, such as an astronomer, encounters Pentagon data they assume the cause of anomalies is the Pentagon's personnel lack of skills in science and the result of HW and SW bugs.

A release of more existing Pentagon data would in my opinion motivate thousands of new citizen scientists.

UFO mystery Pentagon has extremely clear 23 minute UFO video showing ‘multiple’ craft moving in strange patterns, claims insider, The Sun, July 21, 2021

"The Pentagon allegedly has in its possession a 23-minute long video of UFOs moving in a strange pattern that will leave viewers "rattled", a former insider has claimed.

"Lue Elizondo, who headed up the secretive Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), revealed the existence of the footage as pressure continues to mount on the US to come clean on the phenomena."

"The former insider is considered a leading authority on UFOs - and investigated the phenomena with AATIP until the unit was quietly dissolved in 2012."

"Mr Elizondo described the footage as "extremely compelling", "definitive" and "perplexing" - and said it was circulated amongst the US intelligence community."

"The video is said to show multiple UFOs which are moving in ways and strange "patterns" that humans do not conventionally understand - with data recorded using US military systems."

"It was recorded while he was still at AATIP between 2008 and 2012, the craft were big enough for "several" human sized beings to fit inside, and the objects were not a "Tic Tac" shape."

The Mystery of the Hypersonic Tic Tac, Slate, July 5, 2021

"A national security reporter on the U.S. government’s perplexing UFO report."

"If these are Russian or Chinese hypersonic drones, would we even get a clear picture of that?"

"It’s a great question. If we’re not getting a clear picture of it, one question is why? Let’s just posit, for sake of argument, that the Russians or the Chinese have developed highly advanced craft that don’t look like normal planes, that move at incredible speeds. Why have we not detected that until now? Why have they been able to keep that a secret? If we’ve invested all of this money in advanced weaponry of our own and advanced detection systems, but our adversaries have managed to build something that completely got past us, that is more advanced than anything that we have, and that defies our ability to characterize it in any kind of consistent or dependable way, that would be a really, really big deal and would speak to some major vulnerability or gap in our national security architecture."

"You cover national security and intelligence. How did your sources react to this?"

"I think with a bit of befuddlement as well, but most people I have talked to on this look at these systems - the ones that really display the abnormal flight characteristics—and they say, “This is not the U.S. government’s. We didn’t build this.” The U.S. government does not have the technology and the capability to build systems that accelerate to thousands of miles an hour, or sit there and appear to hover in the wind with no sign of propulsion."

"And does Raytheon? Or are they saying this belongs to some other country, some other technological alignment?"

"The people I’ve talked to who think that it could be a manmade technology hold out the possibility that it is a Russian or a Chinese system that’s very advanced. They can’t understand though, in the cases of the ones - these 18 or so observed incidents that just defy all understanding of aerodynamics - how the Russians or the Chinese could have built something even more advanced than our stuff. And maybe that speaks to a kind of American bias that we have the best technology, but based on everything we observe, we do. If we haven’t built a sort of hypersonic Tic Tac, do we really think the Chinese built it? My sources are very skeptical of that."

My Comments

If the US government, or a defense company, built the Tic Tacs would they buzz US pilots and military installations? If China or Russia built the Tic Tacs wouldn't they display them publicly in a military parade?

Most of the public is focusing in on the number of UAPs in the report. They should instead analyze the physics defying aerobatics displayed by the Tic Tacs. In my opinion, the Tic Tac's aeronautical behavior strongly evidences their ET provenance.

Ministry of Truth About Aliens, by the SETI Nuggets Editor, July 16, 2021

Thankfully, the US does not have an Orwellian Ministry of Truth. Anyone is free to weigh in with an opinion about UAPs, Tic Tacs, ETs.

Following the Pentagon's release of the UAP unclassified Report (June 25, 2021) there is a reasonable expectation hundreds of public figures may choose to express their opinions on the subjects of UAPs and ETs.

So far US Pres Biden has avoided the subject and instead has redirected the questions about ETs and UAPs to former Pres Barack Obama.

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson founded and operate their own space exploration / flight companies.

Will they go on the record with their opinions about UAPs, Tic Tacs, ETs?

They may choose to say any of these statements:

I do not want to talk about it.
More data is needed.
The topic is classified.
There is nothing anomalous about the Tic Tac's aeronautical behaviors.

My estimate is the three CEOs of space exploration / flight companies will eventually go on the record with their opinions about alien UAPs.

After Sir Richard Branson successfully completed a suborbital flight July 11, 2021 on the Virgin Galactic I think I saw him on the news brushing off the subject of the DoD UAP report.

I wonder if Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson will tell the public the truth about the impossible physics exhibited by the Tic Tacs.

As CEOs of space flight companies they will have to think carefully about the answers they offer the public before they throw the bull.

I believe Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson have first hand or at least hearsay knowledge about the contents of the classified DoD UAP report. Elon Musk launches military payloads so he almost certainly knows the classified information about the ET manufactured UAPs.

I hope Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson go on record soon about the UAP report. The choice to tell the truth, conceal, or brazenly lie is theirs. Make no mistake about this the space flight CEOs have the opportunity of losing all credibility with the public.

The Pentagon already has data demonstrating there are UAPs not manufactured on Earth. by the SETI Nuggets Editor, July 15, 2021

However, for their own particular reasons the Pentagon is not releasing this data to the public.

Four criteria that combine to strongly evidence UAPs with ET provenance:

1. UAP flight behavior that defies the laws of physics.

2. UAP flight behavior that does not defy the laws of physics but evidences aeronautical behavior far more advanced than capable by the aircraft of the US, China, and Russia. Examples: Instantaneous acceleration, right angle turns, hovering in the air.

3. Data showing what occurs when UAPs get close to or enter US restricted airspace. If the intruding UAPs entered US restricted airspace they would be stopped (escorted away or shot down) if they were aircraft from foreign Earthly manufacturers for example Russia or China.

4. Data showing the UAPs are buzzing our foreign adversaries. UAPs buzzing US military installations evidences the UAPs are not manufactured by the US military or private US skunk works. Even the most secret, obscure US skunkworks would not buzz US military personnel and US bases.

Similarly, if US satellites detect the UAPs are buzzing foreign military installations that would evidence the country buzzed is not the location from where the UAPs originated.

Some astronomers late in the game of UAPs want to start gathering data from scratch (a noted Harvard astronomer and NASA).

In my opinion, scientists should try to obtain the existing data on the four criteria defined above already gathered by the Pentagon.

Probably NASA has held data for many years that can prove the existence of ET manufactured UAPs. They want to look instead for microbes or methane on Mars instead of UAPs on Earth from ETs. In my opinion, NASA may be at the verge of becoming the least trusted US scientific federal agency.

Concealing or not disclosing data about ET manufactured UAPs is the largest lie the US government has ever perpetrated on the US public.

He explains to Glenn exactly what he and others witnessed while on board the nuclear aircraft. Then, he explains to Glenn why the 9-page report on UFOs recently released by Congress isn’t as discouraging (or lacking of information) that some may think."

My Comments

Glenn Beck interviewed Chief-Master-at Arms, Sean Cahill a Nimitz Tic Tac eye witness.

Many researchers who describe the Nimitz UAP incident ignore the number and types of Carrier Strike Group radars and sensors and sonars that were involved. For example, they completely gloss over the role the USS Princeton, an Aegis class guided missile cruiser, had in detecting the UAPs and diverting the F-18 fighters to the UAP location.

Does the US Government Know For Sure The Tic Tac UAPs Are Manufactured by ETS? by the SETI Nuggets Editor, July 12, 2021

My guess is the US government has a mountain of data proving ETs have visited Earth. I will further guess they have proof of other forms of life.

At the mundane level of the Tic Tac UAPs, what kind of data exists in the US government hands that proves with a high level of confidence Tic Tacs are other worldly?

In this SETI Nuggets website I have often opined the aerodynamic UAP behavior that defies the laws of physics is one way to demonstrate ET provenance.

However, there may be more methods to get the same result. For example, according to several US Senators and Defense experts the UAPs often get close to or enter restricted airspace.

If the base commanders thought they were being invaded by Russian or Chinese aircraft wouldn't the US response be to escort the UAPs out of the restricted airspace but more likely the US would blow them out of the sky?

A defensive attack against trespassing Russian or Chinese aircraft or by a UAP would make the news. Look at the historical resonance of Roswell.

But there's no downing of incursing Chinese, Russian, or UAPs in the news. Why not? because the invaders are ET manufactured spacecraft and the US arsenal probably does not have the capability to shoot down an ET UAP. (In my opinion that should not even be considered.)

Adding the anomalous UAP behavior and the lack of effective responses when one of the UAPs invades US restricted airspace isn't that enough to conclude the Tic Tac UAPs are not from this world?

I do not why the Pentagon feels it is an advantage to keep UAP data a secret from the public - possibly cultural inertia.

I believe political and science luminaries who have over decades kept UAP data secret will lose credibility when UAP data is found out by the public. Censoring UAP data is censoring fundamental data required to do research in Physics, Astronomy, Biology, and Cosmology. Student textbooks at all levels will need a chapter to describe the era of political and science censorship and why it occurred.

My Comments

Tic Tac UAP data showing aeronautic behavior that defies the laws of physics evidences the Tic Tacs' ET provenance.

The Arecibo radio telescope detected absolutely no evidence of ET civilizations. Perhaps the Arecibo radio telescope occasionally picked up signals that were dust, flocks of birds, hardware or software bugs, or weather balloons.

There's no point whatsoever to rebuild the Arecibo radio telescope because there are many people with mobile phone cameras and they surely would be able to take pictures of any ETs.

The UAP Report and the UAP Issue, Christopher Mellon, July 7, 2021

About: Christopher Mellon spent nearly 20 years in the U.S. Intelligence Community, including serving as the Minority Staff Director of the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence.

"In my view, the UAP report’s findings strengthen the case for the alien hypothesis by undermining the main alternatives and providing examples of capabilities we cannot emulate or even understand – precisely what one would expect if any of these reports involve genuine alien technology. A fair headline might have been: “UAP Report Strengthens Alien Hypothesis.”

"I suggest we begin by recognizing that the immediate challenge is existential, not academic. It is first and foremost a matter of national security. There is nothing anyone is going to see through a telescope that helps to resolve the issue and the best tools we have available to find answers are, right now, mostly in the hands of the national security community."

"Aliens or not, we urgently need to know is who is operating these mysterious and highly advanced vehicles in restricted airspace above American test ranges, carrier strike groups, military bases, and nuclear weapons facilities. We need to determine not only why, but how they are doing it, because some of the capabilities we are observing suggest revolutionary scientific insights and engineering capabilities that place America at a potentially huge strategic disadvantage."

"Incidentally, the press and public should know that these incidents are occurring far more often than the report suggests. Remember, the report does not include hundreds of thousands of civilian incidents or those by foreign nations; it does not list the thousands of reports that occurred between WW2 and 2004 (e.g., over 700 unsolved Blue Book cases); and of course, it cannot account for the incidents that were never reported due to the stigma surrounding the topic. Polling data suggests there are roughly ten UAP sightings for each sighting reported."

My Comments

I believe the Pentagon eye witnesses and sensors can discriminate between dust, flocks of birds, ice crystals, and reflections. Studying up on EW/plasma painting and that still does not explain the UAPs.

We are at a pivot point or an egress of SETI research replaced by researching the Tic Tac UAPs. Should science budgets go to astronomers looking for methane on Mars or distant exoplanets, or should science budgets go to researching the Tic Tac UAPS? The cat is out of the bag. ET vehicles, the Tic Tac UAPs, are buzzing restricted US airspace on Earth.

Chris Mellon: "Aliens or not, we urgently need to know is who is operating these mysterious and highly advanced vehicles in restricted airspace above American test ranges, carrier strike groups, military bases, and nuclear weapons facilities.

"However, because the unclassified report carefully averted forthright discussion of the technology gap, the press seemed to have missed this crucial point. This is perhaps mostly because unlike members of Congress and the IC they do not have access to the classified data. However, the truth is revealed every time a legislator or former intelligence official privy to the classified data comments on the issue."

So the UFOs Are Real. Now What? National Review, June 26, 2021

National Review is a conservative magazine founded by William F. Buckley Jr. in 1955.

"The government’s report contains important admissions: These things are still (mostly) unidentified, they’re flying, and they’re physical objects."

"The first thing to keep in mind is that the public version of the report was short. Painfully short when compared with some of the aspirational dreams of the faithful in ufology. The classified report given to appropriate congressional committees (Intelligence and Armed Services) is reportedly ten times longer and contains all manner of goodies, but we may never see those."

"One of the first was that the vast majority of “UAP” incidents they studied “probably do represent physical objects.” They draw this conclusion from the fact that most were picked up using multiple avenues of sensory data, in addition to testimony from pilots and technicians who watch the skies for a living. So it’s not just swamp gas, “ball lightning,” or birds. And if you’ve seen one, you may not be crazy. (Or if you are, it’s not because of this.)"

"Prior to the release of the report, the Pentagon had already stated that what people have been witnessing is not an example of secret United States government technology."

"In the report, they went one step further, saying that 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.”

"While some dedicated, skeptical journalists might latch onto the phrase “currently lack,” interpreting that to mean that the UFOs could still turn out to be Chinese or Russian, this reading seems dubious. As the report also notes, most of the reported sightings took place in controlled airspace, in the midst of our naval battle groups and even over military facilities in the middle of mainland North America. If there were the slightest indication that those things came from Russia or China and were showing up over our testing range in Nevada (it’s happened), there wouldn’t be a “concern over possible national security concerns.” We would already have the real-world, military equivalent of Will Smith up there in an F/A-18E Super Hornet shooting them down."

"Or at least trying to shoot them down. Unfortunately, in one of the most famous encounters yet revealed between our Top Gun pilots and these objects, those pilots claim that they left our Super Hornets in the dust. Commander David Fravor of the now infamous “tic-tac” incident has stated repeatedly that he never would have stood a chance against it if the object had become hostile."

My Comments

The National Review is not easily hoaxed or spoofed. When a National Review headline says: "So the UFOs Are Real" you can bet your boots they did some fact-checking.

The NR editors say the classified UAP report is ten times longer and contains all manner of goodies. I figured the classified annex would be stuffed with marketing pitches explaining why the US should invest in hypersonic weapons. It appears the classified report fesses up about the other worldly aeronautical capabilities of the Tic Tac UAPs. Where did the interstellar Tic Tacs come from? They have been on Earth at least 70 years so they probably like it here.

Are UFOs from outer space? Key questions the UAP report left unanswered, The Hill, July 4, 2021

"While American intelligence organizations are reluctant to draw any definitive conclusions, they seem to be particularly interested in the small number of incidents in which the objects demonstrated weird behavior that seemed to violate the laws of physics."

"Let us propose, as a hypothesis, that some kind of alien intelligence is responsible for some of these sightings. What kind of conclusions can we draw?

"First, the aliens don’t seem to be particularly interested in making direct contact with Earth humans. No indications exist that spacecraft are about to land on the White House lawn (or at the United Nations, depending on which science fiction story one favors) or send a signal from afar (as in the film “Contact” based on the Carl Sagan novel.) On the other hand, they also seem to be uninterested in keeping their existence a secret."

"That last point is a key. A civilization that is capable of crossing the interstellar gulf would likely also have the technology to conceal its spacecraft from prying eyes. “Star Trek,” after all, posited a cloaking device as well as a warp drive. Indeed, contemporary aerospace stealth technology has become quite advanced."

"Does the fact that the aliens (if these are aliens) don’t mind that we see them suggest that they want us to at least suspect they exist? For what purpose? To keep us on our toes?"

My Comments

Perhaps the ET civilization didn't send humans a radio wave signal for the same reasons humans do not signal ants before they sit down at a park table for a picnic.

Another possibility is the Tic Tac UAPs did send a signal but not to humans. Instead they sent an "All Clear" signal to their "mother ship" or originating ET civilization.

To understand ETs humans will need to think like an ET.

It doesn’t appear to have a propulsion system like a jet or a propeller. And then it just disappears. There’s been some reporting that it’s then picked up two seconds later, many, many miles away by the radar systems on the carrier.

The US Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued June 25, 2021 a much anticipated 9 page unclassified report: "Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena".

The report did not offer any raw data to accompany its findings. The DNI report would never pass a peer reviewed procedure.

Here are a few excerpts from the report:

"In a limited number of incidents, UAP reportedly appeared to exhibit unusual flight characteristics. These observations could be the result of sensor errors, spoofing, or observer misperception and require additional rigorous analysis."

"There are probably multiple types of UAP requiring different explanations based on the range of appearances and behaviors described in the available reporting. 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."

How many times does the public have to hear UAP facts described as sensor errors, spoofing, observer misperception, airborne clutter, and natural atmospheric phenomena?

Why does the military keep buying sensors that report errors? The sensors can't tell the difference between dust, a flock of birds, and a hypersonic UAP. This is not believable.

One reason the report was requested by the US Senate Intelligence Committee was to take away the stigma a military or commercial pilot might experience by reporting their sighting of a UAP.

A report by a pilot would now, under the framework of the DNI report, be labeled "Observer misperception" or "Other". Not exactly encouraging report categories.

"Advanced technologies" and "incursions" into restricted areas are downplayed. The word "incursion" is mentioned in the report one time. Senator Rubio speaks often on the facts UAPs are entering restricted airspaces. Did he arrive at that thought out of thin air?

Conclusion

If a government research report attributes UAPs and their behaviors to sensor errors and combines that with data nondisclosure to protect the means and methods of gathering information there is no possibility the public will ever know the truth about UAPs from that entity.

Thankfully, the DNI is emphatically not the Ministry of Truth. There will be more UAP sightings, military and civilian, and the truth will continue to prove the existence of UAPs and their ET origins.

My guess is currently the US military has a mountain of data proving the existence of UAPs and ETs.

For some reason, the DNI decided at this time to throw the bull once again on the subject of UAPs.

When I read news articles such as this (below) I can only wonder if the sparsity of conclusions in the DNI report can be squared with news reports such as this:

Ex-Navy Lieutenant Says U.S. Pilots Have Seen UFOs Every Single Day for Years, Daily Beast, May 17, 2021

"Spotting an UFO sounds like the most extraordinary thing you could witness but, according to former U.S. Navy Lt. Ryan Graves, pilots see them every single day off the Atlantic coast. Graves was one of many current and ex-military officials to speak about their UFO experiences on Sunday’s 60 Minutes. He said UFOs should be considered not as an outlandish conspiracy theory but as a very real national-security risk. Graves said he first saw a UFO in restricted airspace near Virginia Beach in 2014, and the object showed up on his radar and infrared targeting cameras. He said the sightings have happened “every day for at least a couple years” and has three explanations: top-secret U.S. technology, foreign spying devices, or something not from this planet."
