quote:
The Defense Department has never before acknowledged the existence of the program, which it says it shut down in 2012. But its backers say that, while the Pentagon ended funding for the effort at that time, the program remains in existence. For the past five years, they say, officials with the program have continued to investigate episodes brought to them by service members, while also carrying out their other Defense Department duties.
The shadowy program — parts of it remain classified — began in 2007, and initially it was largely funded at the request of Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who was the Senate majority leader at the time and who has long had an interest in space phenomena. Most of the money went to an aerospace research company run by a billionaire entrepreneur and longtime friend of Mr. Reid’s, Robert Bigelow, who is currently working with NASA to produce expandable craft for humans to use in space.
On CBS’s “60 Minutes” in May, Mr. Bigelow said he was “absolutely convinced” that aliens exist and that U.F.O.s have visited Earth.
Working with Mr. Bigelow’s Las Vegas-based company, the program produced documents that describe sightings of aircraft that seemed to move at very high velocities with no visible signs of propulsion, or that hovered with no apparent means of lift.
Officials with the program have also studied videos of encounters between unknown objects and American military aircraft — including one released in August of a whitish oval object, about the size of a commercial plane, chased by two Navy F/A-18F fighter jets from the aircraft carrier Nimitz off the coast of San Diego in 2004.
quote:
Under Mr. Bigelow’s direction, the company modified buildings in Las Vegas for the storage of metal alloys and other materials that Mr. Elizondo and program contractors said had been recovered from unidentified aerial phenomena. Researchers also studied people who said they had experienced physical effects from encounters with the objects and examined them for any physiological changes. In addition, researchers spoke to military service members who had reported sightings of strange aircraft.
“We’re sort of in the position of what would happen if you gave Leonardo da Vinci a garage-door opener,” said Harold E. Puthoff, an engineer who has conducted research on extrasensory perception for the C.I.A. and later worked as a contractor for the program. “First of all, he’d try to figure out what is this plastic stuff. He wouldn’t know anything about the electromagnetic signals involved or its function.”
The program collected video and audio recordings of reported U.F.O. incidents, including footage from a Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet showing an aircraft surrounded by some kind of glowing aura traveling at high speed and rotating as it moves. The Navy pilots can be heard trying to understand what they are seeing. “There’s a whole fleet of them,” one exclaims. Defense officials declined to release the location and date of the incident.
“Internationally, we are the most backward country in the world on this issue,” Mr. Bigelow said in an interview. “Our scientists are scared of being ostracized, and our media is scared of the stigma. China and Russia are much more open and work on this with huge organizations within their countries. Smaller countries like Belgium, France, England and South American countries like Chile are more open, too. They are proactive and willing to discuss this topic, rather than being held back by a juvenile taboo.”
So it looks like:
1) UFOs are real
2) UFOs have visited earth
3) UFOs like to just sort of hang out around aircraft carriers and chill then runaway
The GBS thread turned into a huge pile of "AYYYY"s and jokes about butt stuff, but I'm hoping YOSPOS can give this topic the serious treatment it deserves.
Personally I'm guessing these are some sort of autonomous drones, not containing living beings. (Also assuming speed of light is a barrier to living stuff travelling this far)

i'll believe when they either say hello or end my miserable life, op
buzzing an aircraft carrier doesn't count as saying hello?

this is what the alloys are supposedly
"The metal is made in layers that alternate from 1 to 4 microns of pure bismuth with a magnesium-zinc alloy that is 100 to 200 microns thick. For comparison, a human hair is about 100 microns wide, so that’s about the size of the magnesium-zinc layers. A red blood cell is about 8 microns in diameter. So the pure bismuth layer is twice the width of a red blood cell.
Like an exotic metallic torte cake 26 layers high, there’s a 1 to 4 micron layer of pure bismuth and then 100 to 200 microns of magnesium-zinc; then another layer of pure bismuth and another layer of magnesium-zinc and so on for 26 layers. Each metal piece was about 2 to 3 inches wide and was formed with a curvature that tapered"
where did you read this?
