"Think of an airplane—if you look at a 747 in the sky, it doesn’t appear to be moving very fast. It’s going 600 miles an hour, but the rate at which a film of that plane would look [like it’s going] depends on the distance. And [the government’s] not telling us whether they know the distance. These are not [reliable] measurements of speed and acceleration unless they know the distance to the object, and they’re not telling us."

Like that's a really simple, obvious point.

Alright fine since this is exactly what's wrong with the discussion: where does the US government say UFOs are real? I assume we are talking space alien UFOs here. Where did this come from? Let's not talk old presidents on talk shows, let's talk official sources.

The Carter UFO initiative, such as it was, quickly approached its climax. Some individuals maintain that the President was given a UFO briefing at the White House on June 14, 1977, and afterwards was bound to secrecy. According to former USAF Captain Robert Collins, “a lone MJ-12 briefing officer” met with the President, accompanied by several independent sources. Together these sources produced a “reconstruction” of what was told to Carter, and this became known as the “Executive Briefing: Project Aquarius” document. It was later leaked to UFO researcher William Moore through a member of the Defense Intelligence Agency known only as the Falcon. Moore said that the notes he received were a typed copy of handwritten notes that had been used by the officer during the briefing. The memo itself gives the (now standard) account of multiple retrievals of alien technology.

Grant Cameron noted that a review of the schedule on June 14, 1977 shows that a meeting in the Cabinet room between 1:35 p.m. and 3:15 p.m., to “discuss appropriations for intelligence affairs in the 1979 Budget of the U.S.” could have been a cover for another meeting which did not appear in the diary of President Carter. However, there remains no hard evidence to support the claims that a briefing took place, and no proof has shown the documents to be either legitimate or a forgery.

In this context, the author [Richard Dolan] can relate an anecdote told to him privately by a well-placed source. In June 1977, a presidential aide who was “very, very close to Carter” walked into the Oval Office following a briefing that the aide knew had concerned the topic of UFOs. Carter was sobbing, with his head in his hands, nearly on his desk. Although the aide did not learn the precise reasons for Carter’s emotional state, he said that a few of Carter’s phrases made it clear he was deeply upset about the topic.

Probably the most dramatic UFO-related statement attributed to Jimmy Carter was made public in 1995. During a television appearance, the actor Nicholas Cage had mentioned a conversation he had with actress Shirley MacLaine. He said MacLaine had told him about various conversations she had with former President Carter, including Carter’s statement to her that he had seen a crashed flying saucer and the occupants. Shortly after this, MacLaine was a guest on the Larry King television show, and a caller asked her about Cage’s statement. MacLaine responded by saying:

'[Carter] didn’t tell me that, but he told me many times that when I first wrote Out On A Limb [in 1983] that he would support me, that it was true, that there were crafts, that he believed there were occupants, [and] why should we be the only people in the universe? He wanted to shine the sunshine laws on intelligence, to expose it, to see how the people would react, but he didn’t and wouldn’t and couldn’t as he explained to me.'

The statement is interesting because it seems to indicate that Carter was telling her more than his simple belief or opinion. The statement that “it was true, that there were crafts” seems extremely specific, especially one made by a former President. Both Grant Cameron and this author have asked Ms. MacLaine for elaboration on this statement, but she has not done so officially. However, in conversation with this author, she did confirm that she was on friendly terms with the President and that he had discussed UFOs with her in very serious terms.

They're either in on whatever dumb distraction tactic/money siphon the gov is running or they're looking to make a quick buck, because they worked some lovely desk job for 10 years that left them with no transferable skills and a lovely goatee.

OR they're just tom delonge level nuts and they desperately want it to be a conspiracy.

Being in the military, especially the US military is not traditionally a mark of good character.

e: same goes for ex-presidents, they didn't get there by being cool honest guys who would never tell a lie.

Quoth Obungler:

"What is true, and I'm actually being serious here, is that there are, there's footage and records of objects in the skies, that we don't know exactly what they are. We can't explain how they moved, their trajectory. They did not have an easily explainable pattern. And so, you know, I think that people still take seriously trying to investigate and figure out what that is."

He said that in May on James Cordon's show go watch it on fuckin yootoob

Nobody said it's aliens yet but they say it's not us and it probably isn't Russia or China all the time. Whether you want to believe the DoD is another issue but they are saying this for some reason.

they're pilots you dumbass

if they don't speak up about UFOs and become famous they "retire" to an upper level officer career or a lifetime of flying airliners for big bucks. Guess which one of those doesn't happen if they become known as "the UFO guy"

Obviously there's some angle being played here by the government; the push is too coordinated for it not to be. The question is what the US has to gain from admitting there's things in the sky they don't understand and hinting that aliens are a plausible explanation.

here's a CNN article with the actual Obama interview: https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/19/politics/barack-obama-ufos/index.html

been thinking about fullmetal alchemist lately. it was an alright anime that came out in, idk, 2005 or so? it eventually outran the manga it was based on and took a turn for the bad which is pretty common when the source material dries up (see GoT).

they inserted a bizarre twist where matter is conserved for their alchemistry/magic, but the energy comes from suffering in a parallel world - ours. and ww1 was generating plenty of energy...

active, open belief in UFO's and aliens is far more common in the armed forces than you're led to believe and it's not really frowned upon. In fact, Project Grudge became Project Blue Book because they were worried that pilots and other personnel wouldn't come forward with their UFO sightings for fear of looking crazy, because the US military does, in fact, need people watching the skies for weird poo poo just in case it's another foreign power's aircraft or missiles. They just get uneasy when it's like contractors or personnel around test sites like Area 51 blabbing off because it might get picked up by foreign intelligence.
