WASHINGTON — American intelligence officials have found no evidence that aerial phenomena witnessed by Navy pilots in recent years are alien spacecraft, but they still cannot explain the unusual movements that have mystified scientists and the military, according to senior administration officials briefed on the findings of a highly anticipated government report.

The report determines that a vast majority of more than 120 incidents over the past two decades did not originate from any American military or other advanced U.S. government technology, the officials said. That determination would appear to eliminate the possibility that Navy pilots who reported seeing unexplained aircraft might have encountered programs the government meant to keep secret.

UFO Reports Are Fertilizer For Military Budgets

I wish that was 100% the case.

My Dad says silly things that he thinks are zingers like "why do these things only appear to the Yanks" etc. To me these are weak arguments that are just appeals to an inherent normalcy bias

To be fair to your dad, "Why do these things only appear to the Yanks" is not an argument but a question, and a very good one. Why DO these things only appear to the Yanks? My answer would have something to do with the high percentage of paranoid credulous idiots among the population, also the fact that half the country is medicated out of its mind on weapons grade pharmaceuticals

It's not a good question because whatever you think of the topic the reports come from all over the world with an uptick of reported sightings from pilots in Europe during the second world war. His question betrays the US centric cultural view of many people in the UK. And it is an argument, because it would be a good one if it were in any way true but it's not.

It is logically correct not to automatically assume UAP / UFO equals visitors from another planet, this is proper scepticism based on available facts. However the previous official position was there is no "there" there. That has now gone and the hypothesis of "it's all mistaken identity or manifestation of mental illness" is, I'm afraid, no longer available to you.

It's interesting how Reddit sceptics will pose as the sensible voice of reason while you litter your speech with unsupportable assertions like "high percentage of paranoid credulous idiots" & "half the country is medicated out of it's mind". Do you have sources for those?

Navy pilots, including their ATFLIR and other recording devices, are all medicated out of their minds.

Interesting footage of a new weapon/rocket drive/engine. Looks rather like a military show off/experiment and not like aliens to me. Or it could also be a kind of focused light projection into the clouds (to troll or some kind of art joke like the monoliths that popped up not that long ago). Or it could also have been ball lightning.

A new weapon/rocket drive/engine tested above Mexico City? I'll give the Mexican military a little bit more respect for their professionalism. And why share with the world, allies and enemies, your strategic superiority live on TikTok?

Also I don't know what alien tech is supposed to look like. I did notice the "alien tech" is always on par with the witness' observation of their time period. From a giant ball of fire in the 1700s, to a flying saucer with airplane like windows, put together with rivets, in the late 1800/1900..

Maybe not.

Update:

WASHINGTON — The government still has no explanation for nearly all of the scores of unidentified aerial phenomena reported over almost two decades and investigated by a Pentagon task force, according to a report released on Friday, a result that is likely to fuel theories of otherworldly visitations.

A total of 143 reports gathered since 2004 remain unexplained, the document released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said. Of those, 21 reports of unknown phenomena, involving 18 episodes, possibly demonstrate technological capabilities that are unknown to the United States: objects moving without observable propulsion or with rapid acceleration that is believed to be beyond the capabilities of Russia, China or other terrestrial nations.

There is no evidence that any of the episodes involve secret American weapons programs, unknown technology from Russia or China or extraterrestrial visitations. But the government report did not rule out those explanations.

Wow, you guys have really gotten off of the main topic. It clearly reads The LFO Thread. It's been fun, but please get back on topic, now, as it's very disrespectful to the OP. Thank you. (my attempt at British humor)

Speaking of humor; I love Mitch Hedberg. RIP. He was a comic genius. I had the pleasure of meeting him many times when I was working at the FunnyBone in Boise and Giggle Comedy Club in Seattle. He was one of the nicest stars I've ever met. He was a legend. He would just get up there with his eyes closed and do his thing; never the same show twice. I remember one night he was asking the audience what musical bands they liked, and somebody yelled out The Beatles. To which he replied something to the effect that there have been songs recorded since The Beatles. It was hilarious the way he said it, and just totally off the cuff, too. He was the biggest rock n roll comic since Bill Hicks.
