Evidently the proper term for these things is now UAP &#8211; Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.&nbsp; This is probably a necessary change, since for many people, &#8220;UFO&#8221; means &#8220;alien spacecraft.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Some people became greatly excited by this development.&nbsp; &#8220;Finally, the Government admits that there are aliens, yadda-yadda-yadda.&#8221;&nbsp; The facts are less exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Government has only produced a few videos showing some sort of phenomenon that they did not explain.&nbsp; They admitted that they don&#8217;t know what it was in the videos.&nbsp; And that&#8217;s it.&nbsp; They&#8217;re saying, &#8220;We don&#8217;t know what was going on in these videos.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">What we can say with confidence is that there are times when people see things that appear to be in the sky, that behave unlike familiar aircraft or other objects.&nbsp; Most of the time these experiences can easily be explained by familiar phenomena in perhaps unfamiliar settings.&nbsp; There really are weather balloons out there; sometimes a conjunction of planets can look very much like something flying in the sky.&nbsp; Happens all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">And then there are those incidents for which we never find a satisfactory explanation.&nbsp; Now, at long last, the Government admits that sometimes it doesn&#8217;t have a clue what&#8217;s going on in the sky.&nbsp; And that&#8217;s not a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The problem is that these incidents seem to display a level of technology far beyond anything our military has.&nbsp; If these phenomena are actually aircraft of some sort, then we seem to be unable to defend ourselves against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s aliens, any more than I think it&#8217;s angels.&nbsp; If it&#8217;s advanced technology, I&#8217;m pretty sure it&#8217;s human.&nbsp; The question is, <em>whose<\/em> technology?&nbsp; If it&#8217;s Russian or Chinese, then this could be a huge problem.&nbsp; These two countries do not have our best interests at heart.&nbsp; If they&#8217;ve got such advanced technology, we might as well all start learning Russian or Mandarin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m hoping that it&#8217;s actually our own technology.&nbsp; Possibly it&#8217;s some top secret project that no one knows about, seeing how well it can defeat our current technology.&nbsp; Possibly we&#8217;ll learn more, if further videos are released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US Government has released some video footage of interactions between military aircraft and something that was not identified.&nbsp;
