Reddit mentions of UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record

Wow. This one is good. Too good.

Also, check out the book by the author of this article, Leslie Keans UFOS

Game-changing book.

Fair enough. I recommend this recently written book about UFOs and incidents in past 50 years that are really Unindentified and Flying Objects. Way that they behaved suggest they could all be intelligent.

I'm not referring to Roswell, it's a minor event that gain publicity a bit too much.

I'll just write few examples so you can either read from this book or search for them on internet.

Tehran incident, where a military jet chased a flying object, fired at it and bullets were bouncing off. Same thing in Chile.

British military base near Rendlesham forest. Three officers investigate a bright light landing near the base in forest. One touched the object and it was, I quote: "dark, cold and metallic". Also saw and drew symbols in his notepad which he saw on one side, there's a photo somewhere cause it's in the book. Object visited that place two times in few days apart.

Flying object with bright lights appearing in Belgium, thousands of witnesses reported seeing it across 100kms of territory, few policemen, military officers were there also. One guy even flashes his headlights towards the object and it flashes back! Literally hundreds of eyewitnesses that gave their story and drew the same triangle shaped dark object with three lights underneath.

Incursion at O'Hare airport where a bright flying object levitated at one airstrip seen by couple of airport personnel, pilots, radar technicians and after few seconds sharp liftoff through clouds leaving a hole in clouds long after it left.

Sightings in Phoenix, AZ. A large object possibly few kms in diameter appeared, thousands of people saw it, and most known person was a governor of Arizona, Fife Symington.

Also, few other stories are covered, all backed by interviewing military generals and reports of technical people and agencies from France, UK and Brazil. USA closed such agency in the 60's and it is way behind other countries when UFOs are in question.

Obviously, thousands of sights can be described as weather phenomena but this books tells about those few examples of really amazing events that obviously can't be explained as natural.

If you're really interested in this, I highly recommend this book.

EDIT: Some facts checked and revised just now from the book.

This book - http://www.amazon.com/UFOs-Generals-Pilots-Government-Officials/dp/0307716848


Its only the most credible cases from the most credible people. Many of these cases are not only eye witness accounts from military pilots and personnel, many are backed up by radar evidence as well.

The UFO leaks are just UFO's being mentioned in cables. For the record, if you want a good source on UFO's, PLENTY has been leaked already by very good sources who are prepared to testify before congress.

That information is so earth moving that most people just brush it off as kooks being kooks, but yeah, they're not. When someone retires from the Department of Defence as a senior commander and tells you he personally investigated a landed UFO in Rendlesham, it's about time to sit up and listen.

Start with Leslie Kean's fantastic book. It's better than anything Wikileaks will ever release on the topic.

Found it. And available on kindle too, so even better! Sweet!

I'm reading this book right now by Leslie Kean. It has commentary from high ranking military officials from around the world and delves into well documented cases.

Here's the ones I can remember off the top of my head:

-Belgium 1989

-Iran 1976

-Peru 1980

-Chicago O'Hare (2005?)

Not sure how much video there are of these ones...

There is no hard evidence available, yet. There is only circumstantial evidence which mostly consist of personal testimonies, and there are some videos and photos available. That's the maddening thing about this phenomenon - the level of claims are so high that the evidence needed to prove it is also very high. But, even though there is no hard evidence yet, the claims itself can be considered individually and some inferences can be drawn from it. Read this book for more info. It's a very well written book and you can draw your own conclusion from the text. The author was also on Colbert Report sometime back. Also, watch this.

I recently read this new book:

UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record

And I'm astonished at how open other countries governments and militaries are to discussing UFO's visiting Earth, sightings, etc. It's not kooks and crazies: John Glenn saw one, military, civilian pilots, cops, top security officials at military bases, Belgium's top general now retired and so on. France and England have opened up their books. I have a relative who was in the military when they all saw a UFO and were sworn to secrecy.

Why is the US remaining so secretive on a phenomena which is undeniable?

IMHO, it only contributes to the saying: "NASA: Never a Straight Answer." Your response?

When will NASA come clean on the alien issue? I've seen video of missions where UFO's buzz Apollo rockets and space shuttles.

An Apollo astronaut claims that the truth about extraterrestrial life has been buried in a cover-up by the U.S. and other governments. Former NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell spoke on Monday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., where he urged that humankind go out and become part of the wider planetary community. Mitchell also talked about the supposed UFO crash in his hometown of Roswell, New Mexico, and said that an unnamed admiral had confirmed the incident but now denied it.

>It is science fact that beyond theoretical constructs any communication suffers from a one year per light year time lag.

Which goes out the window when discussing capabilities of a society advanced enough to travel here. These are OUR limitations of science. It isn't established science, until we've broken the barrier. We couldn't break the sound barrier for thousands of years, but even though it was beyond our understanding at the time, it was possible. No, what you are saying is not sound science. If they have the capability to come here, then they can manipulate time/space; it would be a given.

Also, real-time isn't real when discussing our real-time feeds either. In fact you standing in front of me and talking to me wouldn't be true real-time either. It takes time for the light to reflect off of you, travel to me, and process in my CNS. It takes even longer for the sound to travel to my censors. We're talking about relative terms, not absolutes. A few seconds or hours is a completely different conversation than millions of years. I know that you're not dumb enough to not comprehend this basic information.

>Surely you have a friendly physics resource you can reach out to that you won't call arrogant and childish

I only have resources available that discusses our primitive understanding of physics, but you didn't make a post about human capability did you?

>If the common mystique around UFO encounters isn't human centric, why does it so imbued with abduction and human study?

What are you talking about? Ancient aliens and x-files? That isn't real. Pick up Leslie Kean's book about documented cases. Unless your happy with getting your information from ancient aliens, paranoid youtube videos/comments, and the national enquirer. If you are on youtube soaking the crazy shit up, check out one of her interviews. There are several good ones like when she went on Michio Kaku's show or Colbert Report; It was a New York Times best seller for ever, so there is a lot of promotion. Again, cite something real, not something you've made up and call the common mystique.

I've been being constructive and giving you what you've asked for. You're talking about all this stuff in the abstract and citing moronic views that are extremely far from reality, when there is heaps of stuff involving scientists, government reports, official testimony, actual journalists, and hard evidence. Discuss reality.

Edit: I just want to point out that Michio Kaku actually went out and helped promote her book without her even though he received no financial intensive to do so. Why would he do that do you think? He's a respected physicist if you don't know who he is.

Recorded radar signatures and photographs are physical evidence of a phenomenon. Handwaving things as "photoshopped" is disingenuous. Discounting corroborated eyewitness testimony as not worthy of consideration is disingenuous since such testimony is used every day in courts of law. There is a certain threshold of proof which is impossible to attain when you are talking about flying objects, particularly if it turns out the extraterrestrial hypothesis is the correct one. The skeptics will only be convinced of UFOs being a legitimate phenomenon (not necessarily from extraterrestrial origin) if a flying object crashed in their backyard or, if as Neil explains, absurdly, that somehow some 'alien' property was stolen from within the alleged spaceships.

I'd postulate the threshold for evidence required for a formal investigation to be opened has long since passed, and if not for the taboo surrounding UFOs (and the profound implications of the extraterrestrial hypothesis) that skeptics would not disagree.

I suggest you read this book:
