Little Green Men, Who Cares?


Cue the dreaded "War of the Worlds" mass panic. What? It didn't happen? No, it didn't. The American public seem decidedly nonplussed at the acknowledgement, by a fairly senior Pentagon spokesman, that American airspace and especially its military airspace is receiving strange and unwelcome intrusions, several times a month, by unidentified flying craft.  These vehicles vastly outperform American frontline fighters. Yet they appear to have no flight surfaces and no sign of any propulsion systems and they leave no telltale heat signatures or exhaust.

They also fly circles around top pilots sent to intercept them before flying away at rates of acceleration that would probably kill a human being.

The Pentagon has even released video taken from a Raytheon tracking pod aboard a US Navy F-18.

Yawn. The story has run in the Washington Post, Politico, Global News and, naturally, FOX and just about nobody much cares.  I suppose with Donald Trump in the White House the national security apparatus has greater threats to worry about. Who knows?

Budget time ? Or, maybe Trump still wants his Space Force .

It has been suggested that Trump's space force initiative is a response to these events.

I find the lack of curiosity about all of this astounding, Mound. In your previous post on the subject, it was established that materials have been obtained whose nature and origin the authorities cannot determine. Why are there no questions of the circumstances under which this debris was obtained? Were they found at crash sites? Indeed, do they even have crashed ships, which the conspiracy enthusiasts have been asserting for years?

I have shied away from the stories, Lorne, because so many of them have been bogus or at least disputed. This time it's the US government via the Pentagon acknowledging what's happening, even releasing video of the intercepts.

Beyond that, no one is particularly talkative. A quick, "yeah, it's real" and that's it. Bizarre.

When (apparently) aliens are employing physics unknown to humankind:
"no flight surfaces and no sign of any propulsion systems and they leave no telltale heat signatures or exhaust... flying at rates of acceleration that would probably kill a human being"
we are at their complete and absolute mercy. No reason to worry. Giving unnecessary f*** only causes stress.
