Pentagon releases UFO videos for the record
Source: BBC News
The US Department of Defense has released three declassified videos of "unexplained aerial phenomena".
The Pentagon said it wanted to "clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real".
The videos had already been leaked in 2007 and 2017. Two were published by the New York Times, while the third was leaked by an organisation co-founded by former Blink-182 singer Tom DeLonge.
After they were first leaked, some people claimed the videos showed alien unidentified flying objects (UFOs).

This is just the DOD confirming that the videos are real, but that's a big admission.

2. On the military end, to establish the beginning of the formal internal process by which armed service members can file sighting statements and or documentation so that credibility and integrity are preserved, bottom to top, in the military.

(4,457 posts)dropping this tidbit is to distract, which means the military is helping Trump's agenda. The military NEVER likes to place itself in a light where it looks like it doesn't know what is going on, as it undermines trust. We can argue about that, but the point is that has been their policy for decades. Then suddenly, "LOOK UFOs!!"

(46,311 posts)The Pentagon doesn't know what they are YET.
One thing is sure, they are not "aliens."

(2,218 posts)This is some amateur fiddling with dated videotape overdubbed with vocal histrionics. The pilots may have engaged in this "controversy". Pure bullshit. Maybe the "aliens" used "warp speed 10" to get here? (Beam me up Scotty) Ha ha

(472 posts)That warp Ten was not discovered in Scotty's time. Warp 10 other wise known as trans warp was first discovered by Lt Paris on voyager with Captain Janeway that made them devolve into something that resembled mud skippers.
The only other warp 10 or faster capable races were the travelers which is the first instance of a star fleet vessel going faster then warp 10 and the Borg but they use trans warp conduits almost like stabilized wormholes

(585 posts)are they exponentials? I'm guessing the latter because 10 times the speed of light is way too slow to go galaxy-hopping.

(15,364 posts)The commanders and entire team in the office watching would have to be in on it too. The tape is 100% real.
With that being said, I am in no way saying it's aliens. There are other possibilities.

(12,325 posts)the pilot says first, "there is a fleet of them." Call it a drone. I saw no fleet. Also, why couldn't it have been just an artifact on the radar? One other thing, this pilot appeared recently on Faux news, IMO immediately disqualifying him as a good witness.

(30,613 posts)They both said the shots of the fleet had been edited out of the released videos. Also said there are many more such videos from the same incidents, and from other similar incidents.

1. US Black Box project.
2. Russian Black Box Project.
3. Chinese Black Box Project.
4. European Black Box Project..
I remember reading they all perpetuate and encourage "UFO" and "Alien" conspiracies as it helps keep what they are really up to under wraps. And they also test these projects intentionally so some in the public will see it. They also test it against their own military. Just so they can asses the capabilities, chances of being spotted, etc.
As I said before, if we were visited by aliens, their technology has to be so freaking advanced the entire planet would shit its pants....and if they did, they probably were so freaking stealthy, we didn't even know they showed up and took off.
