Pompeo and Pence have been hastening you since Trumpism was invented. (And it was) Ask Vlad.

Justice matters.

One night, at a family gathering, my brother and I went outside for a smoke. Being something of an amateur astronomer, I spent a fair amount of the conversation looking up at the night sky. As I looked, a huge, ghostly "thing" flew slowly into view. It looked like a paraglider. It was far too large for that, though, given how high it appeared. I had no explanation for what we saw. And I had spent many thousands of hours observing things in the night sky. It was easily the most eerie experience of my life.

I was appalled as a skeptic and unsettled as human being.

I went inside the house, shaken by what I witnessed. After a bit, I went back outside and looked up again to see if I might figure out what I was seeing. Almost unbelievably, the same object (or another identical one) came from the opposite direction that the first had traveled. I watched...and then one of the geese broke formation. The optical illusion was shattered. I could even hear the geese when they honked.

Still, I received two further shocks. The first was when my brother, who also realized it was an optical illusion said, "I still think the first one was real." I was surprised and disappointed at his irrationality.

The second was more personal. Despite having a perfectly obvious and correct explanation, I was still unsettled. It was a powerful experience. It took me the rest of the night to shake off the eerie feeling I had about the initial sighting. I imagine a psychologist can explain that better than me.

My point here is that because it is unidentified doesn't mean it is anything from another world, another time, or another dimension. In virtually every case, these "objects" are Earthly phenomena viewed under unusual conditions - personal or physical.

Justice matters.

I had a totally clear overview over the SW of the city skyline at around 6 PM, 1 hour to sunset in early May.

It was a big round bright white light hanging alone over the city at about 10 miles from me.

No idea what it was so I stayed there watching it.

After watching it idle there for a few minutes, it suddenly made a big flash and then morphed into a vertical "football" (or "saucer" for a better description, but standing up vertical instead of horizontal).

Then to my surprise, it changed shape all by itself (still shining) like if it was a big "snake" moving up in the sky, until it became a straight thin line of shining bright light!

(I could not contain my "excitement" at that point, asking myself what that "thing" was!! lol)

That "sting ray of sunshine" moved to a horizontal position when I saw a Canadian Air Force jet flying towards it over the South bound of the city.

The way that "thing" moved was out of this world, as the front tip started extending towards a bunch of cumulus clouds way back there over the US/Canada borders, but its back-end tip stayed still there where it was!

Once its front-end tip stopped extending, the back-end tip started moving to regain its original length but many miles further down to the SW (closer to the clouds).

Then out of nowhere (while the UAP kept repeating that strange way of moving...), another big bright light appeared in the sky over the city (at the same location the first one hanged up there before), then it began doing the same "snaky moves" after flashing into a vertical "football" until it extended itself into a long "sting ray of sunshine" just like the first one!

While the Canadian fighter jet was getting closer to it over there, it started moving like the first one, while the first one had already reached the clouds way over the horizon and "spiking out of them" regularly (like a moving spear or something - it's very hard to describe exactly...).

Finally, the second UAP also reached the clouds over the horizon and they both slowly went away together, while the Canadian jet followed them away in the clouds (never heard any "public report" about what happened to the plane, if anything, neither about those two strange UAPs).


That was the strangest sighting I experienced, while I saw others (like 3 or 4 different UAPs).
