project blue book — the porkies are out there...Project Blue Book was one of a series of systematic studies of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) conducted by the United States Air Force. It started in 1952, the third study of its kind (the first two were projects Sign (1948) and Grudge (1949). A termination order was given for the study in December 1969, and all activity under its auspices officially ceased in January 1970. Project Blue Book had two goals:
Thousands of UFO reports were collected, analyzed, and filed. As a result of the Condon Report (1968), which concluded there was nothing anomalous about UFOs, and a review of the report by the National Academy of Sciences, Project Blue Book was terminated in December 1969. The Air Force supplies the following summary of its investigations:
By the time Project Blue Book ended, it had collected 12,618 UFO reports, and concluded that most of them were misidentifications of natural phenomena (clouds, stars, etc.) or conventional aircraft. According to the National Reconnaissance Office a number of the reports could be explained by flights of the formerly secret reconnaissance planes U-2 and A-12.[2] A small percentage of UFO reports were classified as unexplained, even after stringent analysis. The UFO reports were archived and are available under the Freedom of Information Act, but names and other personal information of all witnesses have been redacted.

This is how you manipulate the minds of us — idiots, who have lost our sense of smelling bullshit. Brilliant... The General Public with decoration and medals for wars we don't understand is once again treated for the fools that we are.
the twilight zone's april first...
As we approach the April 1 premiere of Jordan Peele’s “Twilight Zone” series on CBS All Access, it’s worth remembering that some of the most memorable episodes from the original 1959 run ended up being a little too prophetic. And even if we haven’t yet had an alien invasion like in the famed 1962 episode “To Serve Man” (“It’s a cookbook!!”), here are eight times Rod Serling’s masterpiece of a show proved unnervingly adept at predicting modern developments.
If you’re creeped out by news stories about Alexa and other smart appliances getting invasive, watch “A Thing About Machines,” in which a crochety magazine critic, Bartlett Finchley, is convinced that the gadgets in his home are conspiring against him — his TV, his clock, his razor, and even his typewriter, which writes “Get out of here Finchley.” He’s found mysteriously dead on the bottom of his swimming pool.
Find the popularity of plastic surgery creepy? “Number 12 Looks Just Like You” is set in a future in which all young adults go through a process called The Transformation, in which they are surgically altered to look like one of a limited set of attractive humans. When a woman rebels, she’s held against her will and hypnotized into accepting the surgery.

The US Navy is drafting new guidelines for pilots and other employees to report encounters with “unidentified aircraft.”
The new effort comes in response to more sightings of unknown, advanced aircraft flying into or near Navy strike groups or other sensitive military facilities and formations, according to the Navy.
“There have been a number of reports of unauthorized and/or unidentified aircraft entering various military-controlled ranges and designated air space in recent years,” the Navy said in a statement to Politico, which first reported the move.
“For safety and security concerns, the Navy and the [US Air Force] takes these reports very seriously and investigates each and every report.”
“As part of this effort,” it told Politico, “the Navy is updating and formalizing the process by which reports of any such suspected incursions can be made to the cognizant authorities. A new message to the fleet that will detail the steps for reporting is in draft.”
The initiative comes amid increasing interest from lawmakers and the public following the release of classified files from the Defense Intelligence Agency which revealed the funding of projects that investigated UFOs, wormholes, alternate dimensions and other obscure topics that typically leads to the conspiracy-theory fringes of the web.
That research, first reported by The New York Times in 2017, was funded by the Department of Defense under its Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) and reportedly spent $25 million conducting studies and trying to evaluate multiple unexplained events.
“Right now, we have a situation in which UFOs and UAPs are treated as anomalies to be ignored rather than anomalies to be explored,” he added. “We have systems that exclude that information and dump it.”
The Navy also said it’s taking a more proactive approach in briefing lawmakers.
“In response to requests for information from Congressional members and staff, Navy officials have provided a series of briefings by senior Naval Intelligence officials as well as aviators who reported hazards to aviation safety,” the service told Politico.

The UFOs must be aliens from planet Zorg. I believe that should these unidentified aircraft be Russians, you would not be able to see them. They could also be new types of US drones designed to test pilots awareness.

sighting green aliens...
A US congressman noted that if the accounts of Navy pilots who allegedly encountered UFOs are to be believed, these craft are capable of performing maneuvers that require “extreme advances in quantum mechanics, nuclear science, electromagnetics, and thermodynamics”.
US Republican Rep. Mark Walker, ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, recently reached out to the US Navy, asking for more information about alleged UFO sightings reported by naval aviation pilots, Politico reports.
According to the media outlet, Walker wants the Navy to reveal what resources were allocated to investigate these incidents and if any “physical evidence or otherwise" was found to substantiate the reports.
"Based on pilot accounts, encounters with these UAPs often involved complex flight patterns and advanced maneuvering, which demand extreme advances in quantum mechanics, nuclear science, electromagnetics, and thermodynamics", he wrote to Navy Secretary Richard Spencer in a letter reportedly dated mid-July.
He also expressed concern about the reports of UFO sightings “not being fully investigated or understood”, and argued that if pilot accounts are true, the unidentified craft they allegedly encountered “could pose a serious security risk” to US military personnel and the nation's defense apparatus.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that new guidelines established by the US Navy will require pilots and other staff to report encounters with unidentified flying objects, although the military apparently does not intend to make this data available to the general public.

flying nuns?
Lawmakers in the Senate Intelligence Committee are moving forward with a request that would order the Defense Department and U.S. Intelligence agencies to create a public, unclassified, collection of all information and data on “unidentified aerial phenomenon,” also known as unidentified flying objects, UFOs.
According to The NY Post, Senators recognized the existence of a “Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force” and the need for a comprehensive analysis of unidentified flying objects.
“In his report attached to the 2020-2021 Senate Intelligence Authorization Act, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, acting chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, instructs the director of national intelligence, the secretary of defense and other agency heads to compile data on ‘unidentified aerial phenomenon,'” according to The Post.
Rubio and his committee expressed concern about not having a concentrated analysis of these objects — especially since it could pose a national security threat. The lawmakers agreed the findings should be public.
“The Committee understands that the relevant intelligence may be sensitive; nevertheless, the Committee finds that the information sharing and coordination across the Intelligence Community has been inconsistent, and this issue has lacked attention from senior leaders,” the report reads.
According to Politico, if passed, the Intelligence Agencies would have 180 days to craft a report for the director of national intelligence and the secretary of defense.

the answer is a big book with blank pages...UFOs off california...
For some people, going to the loo is an experience rather than an occurrence. For some people, encountering UFOs is an experience they will never forget. I have encountered a few UFOs in my days, but nothing like the Nimitz Encounter… Actually nothing like it because my UFO encounters were far more graphic and far more real than this one — and might have involved a bit too much red ned and an afternoon snooze. But we cannot dismiss the radars tracking that still don’t exist, nor the telling of the stories by those decorated witnesses who did not want to remain anonymous.
The Nimitz encounter happened during a full-blown anti-something exercise with no live ammo unfortunately — and I guess some brassy-someone at high command made sure the participants were alert. Off the coast of California, around the islands of Catalina and the other one, the ultra-sensitive Aegis radars spotted somethingssss. The recreation of the tracks were telling… We know from past experience that WW3 was avoided when a lowly ranked Russian analyst decided to wait if the blobs he saw on his electronic instruments were birds or a flock of US intercontinental missiles. He waited about 10 minutes, before launching WW3.5 or not. I say 3.5 because with the USA, the planet is always in a state of WW0.5— all one needs to do is add the number 3. Whether in the Middle East, in Afghanistan or in the sea of China, the USA is always bombing something or destroying an undemocratic country for good neopathic reasons, with the chain of command going back up to the idiot-in-chief of the time. At the time of the encounter, the dumb-ass was Bush-Junior who was never told of the incident — otherwise I guess he would have slammed all the red buttons in front of him.
But in 2004, the US navy personnel saw something that was disturbing. Just below the surface of the sea, there was a massive patch of bubbles and above it, was flying a large tictac… I mean a TicTac TM. With strange short legs.
The observing boffins, still on amphetamines to be at max alert in their F-16.3 after a sleeping-pill induced regulatory snooze, had no idea what it was, as the TicTac TM disappeared faster than a speeding Superman into the horizon which they were lucky had not been stolen by the aliens.
It was aliens of course, though they did not say so. My simpleton view is that is was an advertising gimmick that went wrong because the whole episode became so spooky, it remained classified until a couple of years ago…
My second feeling is that one of the alien ships from Bugstaurion, a planet 2.4 million light-years away, had crashed into the Pacific, near the greatest nation of planet Earth — as always (it never happens in Europe) — while the TicTac TM was their life-raft to reach a fully-armed mothership anchored somewhere near Saturn...
No-one got hurt and this is the important part of the story — except some people from then on paid more attention when going to the loo as an experience rather than an occurrence. Life's like that...
