This week, the director of the U.S. government’s UFO analysis office stated that there is “evidence” of concerning unidentified flying object activity “in our backyard.” According to physicist Seán Kirkpatrick, who heads the congressionally-mandated All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, this alarming UFO activity can be attributed to one of two extraordinary sources: either a foreign power or “aliens.”
To be sure, the ramifications of either would be significant. But Kirkpatrick’s comments, which come as he is about to retire after a 27-year defense and intelligence-focused career, are more intriguing because he also says that “none” of the hundreds of military UFO reports analyzed by his office recently “have been positively attributed to foreign activities.”
At the same time, Kirkpatrick and senior defense officials have ruled out the possibility that secret U.S. programs or experimental aircraft explain the phenomena.
So it’s either aliens (which we don’t know if they exist) or a foreign power (which we’re pretty sure do).
That’s a tough one.
Notice that “aliens” is in quotes. The modern way to talk about this stuff among those who follow it is to reference it as a phenomenon and not necessarily aliens specifically.
I find the UFO community to mostly be insufferable, but there does seem to be something to all of this. Either there is some super advanced tech in the hands of humans, or something else is going on.
It does not seem like there is a simple answer. And there might be multiple answers.
Or the third option they’re not allowed to say, which is they’re ours.
You should have kept reading the article. “But Kirkpatrick’s comments, which come as he is about to retire after a 27-year defense and intelligence-focused career, are more intriguing because he also says that “none” of the hundreds of military UFO reports analyzed by his office recently “have been positively attributed to foreign activities.””
So what?
How does that mean aliens? Or even the possible explanation of “aliens”? You haven’t raised the probability of that explanation at all.
I could equally say that it’s angels.
That’s the plot of a recent movie
Arguing with UFO junkies is pointless.
This is just God of the Gaps with aliens. It’s ok to say “I don’t know”. Use an overactive imagination for something useful like writing fiction.
Well, isn’t that a given? If we could attribute them to specific foreign activity, then they wouldn’t be unidentified anymore, would they?
