WASHINGTON — Cmdr. David Fravor and Lt. Cmdr. Jim Slaight were on a routine training mission 100 miles out into the Pacific when the radio in each of their F/A-18F Super Hornets crackled: An operations officer aboard the U.S.S. Princeton, a Navy cruiser, wanted to know if they were carrying weapons.

“Two CATM-9s,” Commander Fravor replied, referring to dummy missiles that could not be fired. He had not been expecting any hostile exchanges off the coast of San Diego that November afternoon in 2004.

“Well, we’ve got a real-world vector for you,” the radio operator said, according to Commander Fravor. For two weeks, the operator said, the Princeton had been tracking mysterious aircraft. The objects appeared suddenly at 80,000 feet, and then hurtled toward the sea, eventually stopping at 20,000 feet and hovering.

The Defense Department has never before acknowledged the existence of the program, which it says it shut down in 2012. But its backers say that, while the Pentagon ended funding for the effort at that time, the program remains in existence. For the past five years, they say, officials with the program have continued to investigate episodes brought to them by service members, while also carrying out their other Defense Department duties.

Quote:

The shadowy program — parts of it remain classified — began in 2007, and initially it was largely funded at the request of Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who was the Senate majority leader at the time and who has long had an interest in space phenomena. Most of the money went to an aerospace research company run by a billionaire entrepreneur and longtime friend of Mr. Reid’s, Robert Bigelow, who is currently working with NASA to produce expandable craft for humans to use in space.

Um, er,...Weather balloons? How about swamp gas? Still not buying it?...

Well, there only one thing left, then...

Yup, I believe. I love this stuff. The second vid is the best... "Look at that thing! it's rotated!"

I'm surprised they disclosed anything at all to be honest.

If the gov had any real proof they could cancel the national debt by selling us the pictures and tapes

My theory is aliens visiting earth are extraterrestrial squirrels. Ever see their more primitive cousins here on earth torment a dog? They taunt it, getting close enough to keep its interest but staying just out of reach and remaining a mystery.

There were a few years back in my very early 20's when I 'believed' - mostly because I fell for the Erich von Däniken books, "Chariots of the Gods" etc.

Then I went back to school and realized he was full of BS, and that anyone could write a book and claim anything. People built the pyramids, the Nazca Lines, etc. for human reasons. I was both devastated and angry with myself for being so gullible.

There's a logical explanation to explain what these guys saw and it ain't ET... lol

I do believe that there's life out there but I don't think we have been visited.
