Navy UFO videos explaned

I realize this type of post is usually not in GD. But there were several post in GD when these videos were released, so I think it is only fair that this video explaining the videos can be here at well.

made in broad daylight, within a 100 feet of a witness, that observed such craft? They can't. The navy boys are gas lighting us if they're trying to explain away these sightings as something else.

the real thing, then no matter what others say, etc. won't mean a thing to me. Seeing is believing, especially since you're knocking my beliefs down w/o any evidence on your part, proving that they don't exist. It works both ways. I've seen it, up close, in broad, unimpeded daylight, with the thing actually flying right over me. Others in the area had seen it.

15. That's a very reasonable position.

You know what’s not reasonable? Looking at the vastness of the universe and just arrogantly assuming we’re so special, so unique, that we are all alone in that vastness. I think the denial is fear based with most people, to be honest. To ridicule people like the other poster did with you is comforting.

Unlike you I’ve never seen anything I think might be from another system, but I’m not so arrogant to believe they’re aren’t out there either just because I haven’t seen them.

very lucky to observe such a thing, never will ever see the like again. Thanks for your observation, that witnesses tend to not really see what they thought they saw. It is pretty obvious what you are inferring, in stating that what I saw, was in fact (according to you), was a mistake in identifying a craft. Do you think that I already know that? That somehow, w/o proof, you stated that what I saw was not what I saw.

And let me ask you this...what reason would I have to lie about such a thing? I wasn't out here trying to score points, make money, or anything like that. And the observation is coming from a computer guy, one of the most grounded people you can get as witnesses.

I don't care what anyone thinks, I was there, they were not. I have fellow witnesses that saw something fly over the city, there were newspaper articles that came out, there were class discussions that ensued the day after the sighting, among all of the others that saw the craft.

Even my sister saw it, but by the time I located and grabbed her to go look at the craft, and run out the front door, it was already about 750 feet away, still hovering at the same level/height, going parallel to a major intersection. We were on a hill looking outwards at it, as it still traveled across the valley. I would even daresay that I probably had one of the best sightings of such a craft ever.

Lucky. It was nice to actually realize that in fact, there are things we don't know, that they are others here in the Universe. It was awesome. I'll never forget it. I even have a better part of the story, but I'm not sharing that part w/ anyone. This is a personal thing to me, and it remains that way.

I say listen to the pilots, naval aviators have seen more shit in the sky than this doofus.

that military pilots would know how to recognize things they see in the air, if only because their lives could depend on it.

Not saying I believe it's aliens, just not buying what he says about pilots and analysts being fooled like that.

will stick to what my eyes saw that night.

in 1994, Driving in the mid-west one night on a lonely highway, cigar shaped flying object with multicolored lights stayed just ahead, pacing me, doing 70 mph, for an hour and a half about 2000 feet in the air.

I finally stopped, pulled over to really stare at it and get a good look and it made 3 high velocity turns doing a triangle pattern in the air and then zipped away at an incredible rate of speed I hadn't seen before.

I believe the pilots.

never had a UFO type experience, but have remained openminded about the possibility. I enjoyed watching the stories on Project Bluebook this last year.

12. TY for this. Seems like people that experience something unexplainable are more open minded!

I myself feel the same way, as i witnessed a BRIGHT star object that moved in the sky in a way NOTHING could have done it! This was in the mid 50's. I feel STRONGLY that something is out there. (NOT saying alien, but could be OUR government experiments) Just saying IF anyone witness's something, it's easier for myself to believe, because of what i've seen!

never forget, and you know that what you saw wasn't a mirage, wasn't a plane, wasn't anything else, but an unknown craft.

I believe that the powers that be know that they are here, and are ignoring them for reasons we don't know, other than the fact that (1) their technology is literally out of this world (2) they can't do a damn thing about these visitors.
