The War Department released more than 160 files Friday related to sightings of UFOs dating back nearly 80 years, two days after President Trump predicted, “I think some of it’s going to be very interesting to people.” The disclosure of 162 files by the Pentagon follows a presidential order from February calling for transparency around “alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs).”

I'll be blunt. This is just a satanic ploy to explain away the coming Rapture. And like Global Wa... er, Climate Change™, most will swallow it.

IMO we may not be alone in the universe but it is unlikely that other civilizations are able to harness and apply the energy required for interstellar travel.
Are these phenomena manifestations of previous Earth civilizations which were destroyed in previous global disasters? Remnants of which, such as Gobekli Tepi, remain unexplained. They may be preparing for the next global catastrophy. ?
As believable as any other explanation

Two points in the UFO debate never cease to amaze me. 1) That human beings on a tiny planet in an obscure arm of one galaxy (among billions) is the only place in the Universe with intelligent life, and 2) That, if there is other life in the Universe, they would only be capable of technology at our level.

Super fuzzy tiny dots in grainy photos.....yep, proof positive of aliens traveling here from 150 light years away......or maybe dirt on the camera lense, or in the internal parts of the camera?
Much ado about nothing. Show me a chunk of some weird alloy that we can't make (not sure that there are any alloys we can't actually make today) in some shape that indicates intelligent manufacture.....not in Russia or China, and maybe I'll be impressed. Maybe not.
Remote sensors of ALL KINDS can be fooled by various forms of internal and external NORMAL stuff.
IMO, the most impressive images are from the fighter TV camera systems tracking "tic tacs". Those are damned weird. But, I'm pretty sure that the reason that they appear to defy the laws of physics is that they aren't really what we think we are looking at.

Like all superstitions, "aliens" were invented because we can't explain "weird" stuff. It's not aliens, you fools. It's that our puny little minds can't grasp what's going on. When--or if--we ever figure out a logical explanation for it, the alien superstition will die, too.

If there are intelligent beings out there. They might be less advanced as we are, or they might be thousands of years more advanced than we are and we are the parasites under their microscopes being studied. The earth is located in the boondocks of the Milky Way. No advanced civilization is going out of their way contact us as far as we know. On the other hand, those advanced civilizations might be sending us signals; we just don't have the technology or know how to understand it or receive it.

I know exactly why aliens haven’t messed with us lately. They have discovered just how stupid democrats are, and they don’t want them invading their gene pool.

Once Don Lemon heard that there was a probe of Uranus, he became most interested!
I don't think any strange beings would survive atmospheric entry, or be able to live in our atmosphere and its mix of nitrogen and oxygen. Plus, as mentioned above, the increasing stupidity of the human race would keep any and all aliens in a galaxy far, far away...

Considering the unimaginable size of the universe (no one can begin to imagine it) it would be illogical to think that we are alone. If we are, that would mean, at least to me, the presence of God.

Others may not be interested in this, but I think it's fascinating. Actually, lots of things are out in the Universe that we aren't smart enough to know about yet. I understand more files are coming out.

Yes! Yes! Those little dots of light certainly look capable of traveling more than 25 trillion miles - - and entering the earth's atmosphere without generating a flame - - and showing no desire to contact anyone on this scientifically-advanced planet. Yes! I'm a believer! They're here! They're here!
