UFO stuff.

Segue from the PT board thread on the topic of UFO's.

To start, I'm a skeptic. I self-describe as one being in the SETI crowd, of the belief that it's likely 'intelligent' life is out there, we're just too isolated to have found any evidence for it yet. So yes, I find the topic interesting to the point that I've done more than just watch a few episodes of X-Files.

For all the news about Congress and our military talking about UAPs/UFOs, what have we physically, tangibly seen that changes the game? I'm asking, because I don't know. To date, it's been words. Nothing more.

I don't bother with anything that Congress says. It's well established that body will fabricate pretty much anything it feels it needs to in order to perpetuate a story and to keep themselves in power. I dismiss their antics out of hand.

What does concern me though is the revelation by the US military that these things are 'real'. And by 'real', all they are saying is that certain objects appeared on radar or viewed by personnel exist, aren't glitches in any system or known craft operated by OUR country. But if that's true, why isn't our military doing more to find out the threat of these objects?

And make no mistake, any object(s) which can fly circles around our most advanced fighters is a threat. That's how a military SHOULD look at the situation.

And yet, the military seem almost halfhearted in following up this issue. Why?

I don't buy into little green (or gray) men, but there does seem to be a massive gulf in explaining what's been objectively admitted to existing and taking any directed action to discovering and understanding what these 'things' are out there.

What it doesn't seem to be is errant weather balloons, light refracting off of swamp gas, Venus, meteors, or any known tech we're capable of understanding, let alone reproducing.
