Congress sounds really concerned about unidentified aerial phenomenon (generations, weapons, conspiracy)

[notnamed]

Well the Pentagon has a JEDI program. Wonder when there will be an RFP for an X-Wing.

“A close read into all of this indicates Congress is extremely troubled by the apparent evidence of objects that can seemingly move between sea, air, and space terrains in ways known human technology cannot. It’s a big deal, to say the least. Setting aside dramatic alien conspiracies (for just a moment), the knowledge that there is potentially a fleet of inexplicable, hyper-advanced technologies hovering above our heads is pretty disconcerting. Congress certainly thinks as much, and believes we aren’t doing nearly enough about it.”

Let's hope they are true Conservatives.

I wouldn’t worry too much. Any sort of beings with enough intelligence to efficiently navigate space and get here would view our primitive little human race like we would an ant colony, and watch from a distance. We would likely have no means of defense against any weapons they might be carrying.

they probably don’t have weapons as there is no scientific reason to have any when you are so much more advanced. they live on earth too, and are literally right under our noses. we have been looking up at the sky for life when there is plenty below us

I feel it’s a distraction. My husband who is NOT a conspiracy theorist in any way even noticed this uptick in stories related to UFOs and aliens over the last like 4-6 months.

I don’t believe there’s life anywhere but Earth, and I find it very odd that after covering up any “alien” stuff for decades, the govt and media are openly questioning it. It doesn’t sit right with me.

They could be machines, like VGER from 2001 A Space Odyssey.

Or, they could be Biological, like ET, & if so, they'll have mechanical enhancements like the Borg.

They might have put us here, & are returning for a status check, & if so, they'd likely see us as a colossal failure. Maybe they'll do us all a favor, and eradicate government from Earth, so we could try again...a do-over.

Or, we could be an unrelated curiosity.

They could see us, and Earth, as a provisions stopover....nothing more than food & energy replenishment.

If they are already here amongst us, they will not be the family next door. I think they will be people like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, & Jeff Bezos. However, those Billionaires probably do not even know they are decendents of aliens. They are just genetics experiments planted here perhaps generations ago.

Really? You don't just believe that life from elsewhere has never visited us, but that there is no life anywhere else in the universe but here? That seems extremely unlikely.

Typical government attitude.
Basically they’re just jealous because *they* don’t have that technology.
Drives them nuts. Also annoyed because they can’t figure out a way to tax aliens.

So, given that our Milky way galaxy has like 300 billion or so stars and then there are a couple hundreed billion galaxies...and that's all we know about (for now)...there is definitely life elsewhere.

That they have expanded past light speed travel and located us is an entirely different proposition.

That said, we'll see.

P.S. The same people that tend to greatly distrust the govt. and the MIC...tend to drop their guard when you say we need more MIC spending because of UFO's.

Democrats wish to tax and regulate them
