I don’t know what that is – do you have a link?



Both radar operators say that they were never asked to sign an NDA and nobody ever told them to keep quiet about this case.


I’m so sick of the factless conspiracy theories surrounding all of this.  You’re saying that after 70 years of policy maintaining ufo denial and public mockery, suddenly the CIA decided to perpetrate a gigantic hoax to convince people that they actually do exist, apparently for no discernible reason whatsoever.  It defies all sense and logic.



I don’t understand why nobody seems to grasp military security and classification.  So let’s look at a simple example.


Imagine that the US military were to take high-resolution video footage of covert tests of the latest BrahMos missile as it reached Mach 5 and executed a series of in-flight maneuvers to test its flight capabilities.  That footage would be extremely highly classified, in part because it shows the cutting-edge technological capabilities of a foreign nation, and partly because it reveals the technological capabilities of our own intelligence gathering apparatus.


These devices make the BrahMos supersonic missile look about as advanced as a Tonka toy.  The intelligence value of the footage Trevor saw is incalculable – it could offer critical clues to the operation of a technology light-years ahead of our best defense technology.


It would be insane to share that footage with the public, because by sharing it with us, they’d also be sharing it with all of our nation’s geopolitical adversaries.  And they might glean key clues about the operation of that technology by analyzing the footage.


Everything of significant defense intelligence value is automatically classified.  So it’s a minor miracle that we’ve seen even those worthless little blurry snippets of footage that have been released so far, if they do in fact depict some kind of alien or otherwise unidentified technology.  But that’s why we’ve been allowed to see those clips: they’re basically worthless, as far as intelligence value goes. So I’ll be absolutely stunned if we ever see any really interesting video from the DoD or any other government body.
