Interesting. Suspect timing for sure, but I dunno that I buy that.

It is weird to me that the government is investigating this, if it is in fact the government actually developing these things. Surely there would be some cross talk of "hey, yea, that's actually our things up there, don't worry about it".

Oh I'm 100% sure it came out now because of the show Friday. Not saying it isn't valid but they're trying to get eyes back on the topic this week for a clear reason. At least the To The Stars Academy is actually doing something, finally.

Reading a review of Friday's episode, it looks like the program deals directly with the event in the article.

Yeah, interesting.

Stuff like this always interests me when it's coming from pilots and such.

This has actually been around for several years. The CIA released a bunch of previously classified documentation in 2016, and this was part of it.

Fish, you're generally a skeptic. What do you think about this?

Although it mentions it very briefly, the Times article this week is not about the Nimitz 'tic-tac' sighting of 2004. It's about a series of encounters in 2014 and 2015. Different event, different witnesses, etc. While the video associated with it has been seen before, there was never any context provided previous to now, at least not that I can remember.

It's odd that they both involve training flghts, but they're a decade apart, and the Nimitz was off the west coast, with the more recent sightings being off the east.

I don't know. The pilot initially identified the object as a drone. That's probably the most likely explanation. But these are really experienced and professional people, not just some nutjob seeking attention. Which makes it much more interesting.

That was kind of my thinking.

When guys trained at that level start talking about stuff being able to do stuff that's not supposed to be possible my out types of machines, it's interesting.

I guess I'm confused. The link I posted from 2017 contained the exact same video as your link.

Yeah, I don't know why they would release the video in 2017 but not disclose the sighting itself until now.

As far as 'nutjobs wanting attention' goes, it's generally accepted that many, many, many more people have sightings than report sightings. Most people don't report them at all, articularly among professionals. So I have often wondered where this idea that it's all crazy people looking for attention comes from.

Anyway, here's what I find strangest about the recent changes: why is the military now, after literally decades of trying to convince the public there's nothing to them (the whole point of every public study they ran in the 50s and 60s...) are they not only admitting there are anomalous objects, that they don't know what they are and that they may be a threat to national security? And strangest of all, they're encouraging pilots and other witnesses to report, rather than keep it quiet so they don't look like kooks?

This one right here has REALLY caught my interest.

1. The object is massive and was captured by multiple cameras and multiple unrelated persons.

2. There's video taken by a group of people in a car as they drive around the Pentagon videoing the object. It looks to be a multidimensional object and not a projector (it'd be tough to project into the dark sky an object that large anyway) , as the object has multiple sides that's clearly demonstrated in the video.

3. IF the leaked footage below is real (looks to be) then holy shit....

I'm trying to find the footage of the guys who were driving around videoing it. It is by far the best footage of this. I haven't come across it yet on YouTube. I saw it on Travel Channel.

My initial thought was hologram. But when you see the footage of the guys moving around the object itself it looks like a damn real object. How would you even get a Hologram to project that large, that high in the night sky?

EDIT:

Here it is: (Take note that the object has a single "dark side" that stays consistent as it rotates. Can this be accomplished with a Hologram?)

You be the judge. My initial gut reaction is fake, but....maybe?

Yeah, looks a bit fake to me. I dunno.

It's definitely fake. Manipulated video of another speech.

As for the pyramids, don't look like anything to me.
