Are we alone in the universe?

Hey, man. Don’t forget about my black triangle sighting in Nevada.

I've already factored that in, which is why I said I look up when I cross the desert.

- The Egg Theory (The One-Soul Universe), although not in the realm of physics, this theory suggests that every intelligent being who has ever lived (whether on Earth or on other planets in the Universe) is actually the same soul, reincarnated over and over across time. You are currently living as you, but in your next life (which could be in the past or the future), you will be the person you just walked past on the street.

So, every time you had sex, you'd be screwing yourself?

Technically, yes. To show you what that looks like in the real world, check out this classic Allen Wyatt meme:

I was on Nimitz in 2004 with Fravor. So I tend to separate “internet UFO culture” from “weird things pilots report.”

It's an honor to meet someone who was there. How consistent have the stories been since the beginning?

I’d say fairly consistent. There was a part that never made sense to me—there were two separate flights and events—the first pilot said he saw something that looked like a cross or a downed airplane on the water, with breakers passing over it. He said the “tic tac” emerged from the center of that cross.

We all thought the first set of pilots were pulling our chains. When the second set came back—after having been told by the first flight to be on the lookout—the pilot had the tapes and explained he was in a steep upward turn to try and close the distance.

The thing is, on the tape it shows the spot in the middle never seeming to move—if the pilot turned, the dot stayed in the center. That doesn’t make sense to me. Frankly I think it was a bug on the flir. I mean a literal bug.

One last note, the cruiser radar had been known to cause odd malfunctions and false tracks. My initial thought was that Fravor and his boys were playing an elaborate joke.

It’s a fact though that he brought in a flir tape with something unexplainable in it.

We wore tin foil hats the entire next week or so.

You obviously haven't watched the age of disclosure. Harry Reid, Kirsten Gillebrand, James Clapper etc., these are not right wing politicians. Nobody pushed for disclosure more than Harry Reid.

I did say "largely" not "entirely". A strong belief in UAP cover up goes along with an ancestral diet. It's just a fact. It's not surprising at all when a passionate right-winger reveals as a UFO believer. That's all.

If Limnor reveals that he saw UAPs on the Nimitz it will increase my belief that they are real immensely.

I saw a flir tape of something that I couldn’t explain. That’s as far as I’ll go.

[Limnor]

Fravor says something about people making fun of him on the boat—we were merciless, for days.

He got really mad too, because we played our own game after he left the flir tapes. We hid them and told him we sent them off to NSA for testing. He said he would tear the place apart to find them. I notice he didn’t say any of that in his interviews.

I promise you guys that this is going to be a very different thread because this issue does not hold the same partisan boundaries that exists in most every other issue. And to prove it to you, I'm going to agree with Barack Hussein Obama. I think Breitbart tried to make him look delusional in this article and I don't agree with Breitbart at all in this instance. This actually is not that far off a religious topic so if you think it should go in the Terrestrial or even Celestial forum feel free to move it. Myself and a small percentage of LDS have been persuaded that extra terrestrials are real and have indeed visited the earth in the past. They were spoken of in the antediluvian world and they will return openly at some point in our day as well. And I believe that many Christians will be deceived by the antichrist in the great and terrible day of the Lord because when the presence of extra terrestrials is inarguably happening, they won't know what to do with the phenomena because they have no box for this in their worldview. For those of you who say that I have no evidence, I'd point you to the amazon documentary called, "The age of disclosure." If the idea of the existence extra terrestrials on earth isn't strange enough for you, perhaps the idea of someone like me finding myself on the side of Kirsten Gillebrand, James Clapper, and several other congressional Democrats advocating for transparency is enough to convince you that truth can indeed be stranger than fiction. So I'd be interested to hear where you all stand on this issue. Has interstellar travel occured or is everything in the Age of disclosure a hoax?

Barack Obama: Aliens ‘Are Real, But I Haven’t Seen Them’

Former President Barack Obama has weighed in on phenomena in the world’s skies that have perplexed observers since “flying saucers” were first reported after World War II.

“Are aliens real?” YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen asked Obama in an interview posted Saturday.

“Uh, they’re real, but I haven’t seen them,” the former president responded.

He then quickly addressed speculation around Nevada’s Area 51, a secretive military test site that has long been claimed to contain downed extraterrestrials and their aircraft, which are purportedly being reverse-engineered.

“Uh, they’re real, but I haven’t seen them,” Obama explained. “And they’re not being kept in uh what is it? Area 51. There’s no underground facility unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.”

Watch:

Of course, an “enormous conspiracy” is exactly what has been alleged by many documentaries on the issue; that an “underground facility” at Area 51 is a “need to know” closely held secret, even kept from presidents.

Cohen then asked Obama what question he most wanted answered upon entering the White House.

“Where are the aliens?” Obama replied with a laugh. It was not clear whether he was serious or joking.

However, Obama is not the first president to pose the question.

Jimmy Carter, during the transition period after his 1976 election as the 39th president, reportedly asked then-CIA Director George H.W. Bush for access to UFO files. Bush reportedly refused, saying his curiosity was not a sufficient enough reason for disclosure.

John Podesta, a chief of staff for President Bill Clinton and counselor to Obama, for years pushed for disclosure, including reportedly picking up the phone “to call the Air Force and ask them what’s going on in Area 51,” according to a report in 1998.

Podesta also famously tweeted at the end of his time with the Obama administration that his “biggest failure” in 2014 was not securing the release of the government’s UFO files.

Area 51, as well as Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, are often cited as locations of a secret government program to study and reverse engineer alien technology. A scientist named Bob Lazar in 1989 claimed to be part of a classified project doing exactly that at the Nevada site.

While the subject of UFOs has often been ridiculed, in recent years disclosures by the government have resulted in a far-more serious approach.

Lawmakers, including former senator and now Secretary of State Marco Rubio (R-Florida) and the late Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), have called for government transparency of the Pentagon programs that log and study what are now called UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) as a potential threat to national security.

UAPs were the subject of a stunning House hearing two years ago, which featured Air Force personnel and a government whistleblower, David Grusch, who said crashed alien craft and “non-human biologics” have been recovered as part of a secret government program.

Watch:

Serious treatment by lawmakers and the news media of UAPs or UFOs clearly emerged after a New York Times article in 2017 revealed a secret Pentagon program was tracking the phenomena.

It included official fighter-jet footage of unidentified craft encountered during military exercises near San Diego that appeared to defy the known abilities of manned aircraft.

I just did a video of this on The Backyard Professor. Fun stuff. Yes, aliens are real, but I am skeptical we have any of their tech working for us just yet. Yes, yes, Coulthart said the tic tacs are Lockheed Martins, but.........there are issues even with that.

Hi Ajax,

Given the sheer size of the universe, my guess is that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. But, because of that size. The laws of physics that prevent faster than light travel, and the absence of evidence of intelligent life in the systems of the closest stars, I don’t think earth has been visited.

I do think so. Garry Nolan's view on this really struck me as being more right than not.

The only conclusion: the deep state must be more powerful than we ever imagined!

Believe it!

I was on Nimitz in 2004 with Fravor. So I tend to separate “internet UFO culture” from “weird things pilots report.”

That's a very wise position to take.......

[Philo Sofee]

It's transparently obvious that you'd be into UFOs because UFO/disclosure is largely a right-wing phenomena.

You obviously haven't watched the age of disclosure. Harry Reid, Kirsten Gillebrand, James Clapper etc., these are not right wing politicians. Nobody pushed for disclosure more than Harry Reid.

True story that........ his bulldog determination also demonstrated that there is someone in power who does NOT want this information out to the public.

VERY. At least in those accounts that have made it into books on how both radar techs and pilots have reported the reality of something far beyond what we have flying out among them. The problem is the government cancel culture of keeping everything top secret always using National Security as the fake news to keep absolutely everything from us on anything, no matter how trivial. It's downright maddening!
