It seems pretty obvious that all this UFO talk is just to get commercial and military pilots comfortable with the idea of reporting weird things they see while flying. Since World War II, pilots have always been strongly discouraged from reporting any weird phenomena in the sky, to the point where they're reprimanded and sent to see psychiatrists and poo poo. Maybe this was because post-WWII, anything weird in US airspace was experimental aircraft and the government didn't want anyone spilling the beans. Anyway, now that everyone has drones, somebody figured out that it would be bad if pilots started seeing actual aircraft from other countries but kept silent about it because of the stupid nature of pilot culture.

There's nothing in those navy videos that can't be explained by regular airplanes at weird angles or instrumentation error, but the media push is on not humiliating or shaming people when they see things like that, because it could be Russian drones or Elon's secret doomtroopers. This will become more likely as the US continues to decline and new powers get up to all the things we used to do.

Also Bob Lazar is a transparent charlatan who realized that he seemed like a stereotypical engineer nerd and decided to run with it. The idea that you could do a Ph.D. in the 70s at MIT and not have people remember you is ridiculous. Did the military erase every photo, or every publication with his name on it. His major professor was just sworn to absolute secrecy?

But if you're into the folklore of UFO and abduction poo poo, I've always enjoyed this guy's story:

https://www.astonishinglegends.com/al-podcasts/2019/10/13/ep-155-abduction-at-devils-den

Terry Lovelace is transparently a guy who loves telling a good campfire story and is keeping the American oral storytelling tradition alive, but the only way he can do it is by getting some credulous nerds to believe he's telling them the truth. He's an older guy and probably remembers old men spinning good yarns when he was on camping trips as a boy, and he's really good at it. His own story even involves camping in the wood at night--the perfect hook to spook the kids on a boy scout trip into the local state park.

It's pretty funny that the only way he can do the storyteller thing is by finding a bunch of weirdos who think UFOs are real.

Bob Lazar thought he saw a UFO in a hangar at a secret military lab, bit it was only the planet Venus.

My favorite Rick Perry thing is how he was all gung ho about dismantling the DoE until he took charge, then abruptly became a benign (on this topic, anyway) bureaucrat making appearances at ribbon cutting ceremonies and poo poo and like the only trump admin who didn't try to grift their department into oblivion.

Presumably someone took him aside the first day and had a quick conversation about who manages the nukes.

one of the persistent and interesting aspects is the idea that the power source (~*~ zero point energy ~*~ or whatever) would destabilize the oil industry & the post war USD-based petrodollar world economy. a lot of weird things start coming together in that context, including my expectation that the DOE to own a lot of the research/maintenance of stuff in their large and secretive org. so far ive only seen the exotic physics research from the military though, but it would be interesting if there are pais like research happening in the DOE as well

"She said that there are only 7 planets in the whole world that are like the earth where the dominant life form has the simple problems. She called them the simple problems, not me. She didn’t tell me a list of the simple problems, but she told me some of them that were prayer and faith healing and churches and sorcery and magic and all that kind of stuff, mostly all stuff about religion. And of those 7, she said there were only 3 where people experienced deja vu, or believe in prophecies, or that worship idols. We are one of those three and that’s why the Friends of Friends are here. That’s why the others were here, too, and that’s why the next group is coming in July. Gina says that they know that the whole world isn’t really what it looks like but it’s actually the creation of a single intelligence and that we and everything exist inside that intelligence. I asked her if it was like the Matrix and then I explained to her what that was and she said it wasn’t like that at all and so then I asked her if was like when that hospital show ended and it turned out to all be a kid imagining it in a snow globe and she said it wasn’t like that either. But she said that it’s the one thing that everyone in the world agrees on, all these thousands and thousands of advanced civilizations, they apparently all have proof that the world is imaginary or a dream or a computer program or something. And they study earth and the two other planets like it because they are pretty sure that these three planets and the intelligent life on them are either mistakes, like accidents, or else one of them might be the center of the whole thing and everything else is a mistake or an accident. They want to figure out which is which so that they can better understand the intelligence that creates the world."

But the people up there now are different. But now there are people up there who look like business men and military men. They are sitting up there on their own without being guarded, and they are having meetings, and they are watching something on screens and talking back like probably with people back on Earth. They are wearing like army uniforms and military jackets. I’ve heard these people up there speaking in English and in languages that I don’t understand but, I mean, I know that some of them were Chinese, and some were Japanese or Korean, and there were some that were French because I do recognize French. I’ve seen people who look Arab and African and everything you can imagine. They are in contact with us. I know that the U.S. government is in contact with them because I’ve seen American military up there and also because when the U.S. government men kidnapped me they asked me questions that they couldn’t have just made up. They had information about the ships and about what they have done to me on those ships and about me, and the only way they could have gotten all that information was if they were also talking with the friends of friends or whatever you want to call them. And that was years ago, so I know that the government at least knew about them years ago. And you wonder what you’ll learn from the report?

I don’t think I can find it bc it’s been so long but I’m fairly certain some parts of that are cribbed from a very similar Usenet hoax where some guy talked about having contact etc and finally he “reveals” he was contacted because he had been trapped here on earth and they were coming to rescue him, lol

I mean they may not be lying but if not then it's because they are delusional. Earth has aliens coming to it because we happen to be the one special planet that has.... uh.... religion?

Whatever was planned for July is still going to happen so far as I know, but it has definitely changed. Something changed and I’m pretty sure that’s why this report is coming out, but I can’t be sure about that. I’ve heard Friends talking about a report for years and years but I didn’t know it would happen this way. I don’t know if the report that’s coming out is to prepare us or if it’s just a cover up. I don’t know what it all will be on the 18th, either, except that Gina 2 and the Friends of Friends are leaving and someone else is coming and that whatever will happen on Earth is not colonization. I’ve seen maps up there and it looks like on the 18th something will happen at least in western Africa, something in maybe China or around China, and in Wyoming or Colorado or Utah. It’s hard for me to know where stuff is just looking at maps without the state and country borders on them but none of the maps up there have any of those lines so I’m making educated guesses on those three spots.

All three spots could be deserts. The aliens are gonna steal our sand!
