Really good article
The site will not allow cut/paste

It outlines the documented history of these events

There is also very interesting comments from a quoted NY Times reporter that we are in possession of metamaterials and in an arms (technology) race to back-engineer it (with China/Russia).

Meanwhile in peer reviewed science...

Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles

Abstract
A number of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) encountered by military, commercial, and civilian aircraft have been reported to be structured craft that exhibit 'impossible' flight characteristics. We consider a handful of well-documented encounters, including the 2004 encounters with the Nimitz Carrier Group off the coast of California, and estimate lower bounds on the accelerations exhibited by the craft during the observed maneuvers. Estimated accelerations range from almost 100g to 1000s of g's with no observed air disturbance, no sonic booms, and no evidence of excessive heat commensurate with even the minimal estimated energies. In accordance with observations, the estimated parameters describing the behavior of these craft are both anomalous and surprising. The extreme estimated flight characteristics reveal that these observations are either fabricated or seriously in error, or that these craft exhibit technology far more advanced than any known craft on Earth. In many cases, the number and quality of witnesses, the variety of roles they played in the encounters, and the equipment used to track and record the craft favor the latter hypothesis that these are indeed technologically advanced craft. The observed flight characteristics of these craft are consistent with the flight characteristics required for interstellar travel. That is, if these observed accelerations were sustainable in space, then these craft could easily reach relativistic speeds within a matter of minutes to hours and cover interstellar distances in a matter of days to weeks, proper time.

Conclusions
It is difficult to draw any useful conclusions at this point. We have characterized the accelerations 318 of a number of UAVs and have demonstrated that if they are craft then they are indeed anomalous, 319 displaying technical capabilities far exceeding those of our fastest aircraft and spacecraft. It is not clear 320 that these objects are extraterrestrial in origin, but it is extremely difficult to imagine that anyone on 321 Earth with such technology would not put it to use. Moreover, observations of similar UAPs go back 322 to well before the era of flight [1]. Collectively, these observations strongly suggest that these UAVs 323 should be carefully studied by scientists [9–13]. 324

Unfortunately, the attitude that the study of UAVs (UFOs) is “unscientific” pervades the scientific 325 community, including SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) [31], which is surprising, especially 326 since efforts are underway to search for extraterrestrial artifacts in the solar system [32–36], in particular, 327 on the Moon, Mars, asteroids [37], and at Earth-associated Lagrange points. Ironically, such attitudes 328 inhibit scientific study, perpetuating a state of ignorance about these phenomena that has persisted for 329 well over 70 years, and is now especially detrimental, since answers are presently needed [38–43].

The Villager And The F-18

quote:

As you can see, he says the object looked like a Tic-Tac, except it was 40 feet long. Here is a link to a 270 page paper doing an extensive scientific analysis of every data point that the team could get their hands on in the public domain. Here is another paper, this time from Dr.Kevin Knuth, former NASA research scientist and currently a professor of physics. It is peer reviewed and analyzes a handful of UAP cases, with the Tic-Tac being one of them. Both papers are chock filled with mathematical models that attempt to calculate and infer the g forces and velocities the Tic Tac was able to reach during its interaction with Fravor and his team. This is where things get interesting. According to Kevin Day, he said he tracked the Tic-Tac commander Fravor intercepted go from 28,000 feet to sea-level in approximately 0.8 seconds. This means the Tic-Tac was capable of achieving a velocity of at least 23,864 mph, which is 31 times the speed of sound. The maximum speed of the commander’s F-18 is 1,190 mph. This means the Tic-Tac is 20 times faster than the F-18 (23864mph/1190mph = 20). Let’s say we wanted to calculate the difference in technological capability and speed between the F-18 and the villager in our thought experiment. The fastest mode of transportation the villager can access is a horse, and suppose he’s lucky and owns the world’s fastest horse capable of reaching 55 mph. In his case, the F-18 is 22 times faster than the villager’s horse. So, roughly speaking, the Tic-Tac was to Fravor, what an F-18 would have been to a villager in the mid-17th century.

Okay, so the Navy has gone head to head against something centuries ahead of us technologically, and they did not want the story out. Now it’s gotten to a point where pilots are encountering these kinds of objects almost daily in recent years. With the shapes of the objects ranging from cubes, gyroscopes and saucers. None of this is weird at all, nope.

---

quote:

---

Over the past year, I’ve gotten to know online and in-person, some of the people who were present and onboard the USS Princeton and USS Nimitz carrier during the days the Tic-Tacs were observed. These are critically thinking, humble and mentally-strong people whose lives were changed by a genuinely profound and extraordinary experience. They are equally as lost as you and I are, and have various theories about what the Tic-Tac was and where it came from. I have my own, which is that it was not made by human hands. After meeting people from DoD, CIA and NASA who were or are intricately involved with the UFO phenomena at an official capacity, as well as doing my own investigations in general, I concluded that there really does exist extremely advanced technology manufactured by a non-human intelligence and the art of studying them is extremely lucrative plus critical to national security. Imagine being the country reverse engineering technology centuries ahead of their time, and succeeding in certain key ways. A person could become theoretically invincible with the capabilities of the Tic-Tac. An unstoppable adversary isn’t a good idea for anyone in my opinion. If someone does own this technology, they’ve managed to elude billions of people in the development of the tech (the Tic-Tac in this case).

They’re also spending a lot of the time they interact with the human population by reminding the military that their efforts in defending themselves against UAP are futile. I was told that the details of any attempt to contact UFOs is classified. This is also something Luis Elizondo publicly stated in the Unidentified docu-series. The seemingly increased rate of incursions without possibly any direct communication on the UAP’s end signals to me that they’re sending a message but through their actions. I believe we are getting acclimatized to the presence of one or more super intelligent civilizations and they are not interested in going through something as primitive as our governments or landing on the Whitehouse. Instead, they’re becoming an ongoing, polite pain in the neck to those in charge while also revealing themselves slowly to the population on an individual basis. To the point that the idea of their existence spreads quickly through credible/influential individuals (pilots, radar operators, civilians and military scientists, etc.) and not just the top-down organizations like Government. Kevin Day said the Tic-Tacs acted like they just wanted to be left alone. If that’s true about them, then maybe these civilizations are using invisibility cloaking, holograms and spacetime manipulation among other technologies to go about their day undisturbed. Every now and then advanced sensors like the AESA pick up on them regardless, which leads to incidents like the Tic-Tac. In my opinion, I could see that happening to us humans too one day when we have the ability to go to other planets and study more primitive or developing civilizations. There would be so many new lifeforms to study, and an entirely unique path that evolution would take. This would lead to fundamentally different kinds of civilizations and cultures worthy of studying without contaminating ideally. Maybe we’re the equivalent of an uncontacted tribe on Earth, where we’re mostly left alone to our savagery and ignorance. Every now and then one of us catches a glimpse of an airplane and our tribal perception thinks it’s God or something mythical when it’s really only advanced technology. In any case, I hope you enjoyed this deep dive into what I think it means for the Navy to indirectly acknowledge the existence of the Tic-Tac. We are in uncharted territories and I could not be more excited. It is my view that if we learn to overcome our ignorance, accept a humble perspective that we could be one of many intelligent races out there in the Universe and then attempt to make contact with whoever is behind these UAPs, we’ll advance enormously as a civilization from an intellectual and probably spiritual perspective. Right now though, it seems that we lack so much order that we can’t even properly sort out the question of whether we’re alone in the Universe or not. Most people around the world are likely not prepared to accept one on one contact with an “Alien intelligence”, for lack of a better word. They have not had the time to digest the possibility or incorporate it into their world view. Until that changes, I think we can expect a continued increase in UAP incursions as time goes by. We need to keep in mind though that just as the villager lacked the ability to photograph an F-18, we may lack the tools to “photograph” or truly capture the presence and entirety of the Tic-Tac for now.

Cows found mutilated with sex organs removed and blood drained prompt alien and cult theories
No natural explanation for horrifying killings, police say

quote:

---

Bulls have been found mutilated, killed and left with their blood drained and their sex organs removed, police in the US have said. People living near the scene of the animal deaths in Oregon have speculated they could be part of an occult ritual or an alien invasion

And while such outlandish suggestions have been routinely dismissed after similar cases in the past, experts say there is no obvious natural explanation and no indication the bulls were killed by either normal predators or poisonous plants.

---

quote:

---

There were no tracks around the bodies, or other clues as to how the killing happened, but police and ranch management believe that they were executed by someone rather than something.

---

quote:

---

The case recalls mutilations of livestock across the West and Midwest in the 1970s that prompted widespread fear in rural areas. Thousands of cattle and other livestock were found dead with the reproductive organs, and sometimes part of their faces, removed, in territory ranging from Minnesota to New Mexico.

---

Cyclical?

quote:

---

Two US senators urged the FBI to investigate, according to FBI documents. After saying it lacked jurisdiction, the FBI agreed to investigate cases on tribal lands. But the mutilations stopped.

---

Subtle, but very important point (reference earlier discussions in this thread...)

quote:

---

Mr Marshall suspects the bulls were killed to get the organs of the free-ranging bulls for some reason. The bull parts would be available cheaply or free at a slaughterhouse, but he believes some people are going to a lot of trouble to get these parts on the range.

There's no sign that scavengers removed the organs of the bulls, and instead someone using a knife or scalpel probably did, Mr Marshall said. "To lose a completely healthy animal would be an oddity," Mr Marshall said. "To lose five young, very healthy, in great shape, perfect bulls that are all basically the same age ... that is so outside the bounds of normal activity."

---

ET intelligence corroborates that pastured animals are the tits...

quote:

---

Mr Marshall speculates the bulls were darted with a tranquiliser that knocked them out. While some people acted as lookouts, others bled the animals out by inserting a large-gauge needle into the tongue and into an artery, then removed the organs after the heart stopped beating, he surmised. Mr Jenkins, the deputy, has a similar theory. "Personally, I would lean more toward the occult, where people for whatever reason - whether it's a phase of the moon or whatever rituals they're going to do with their beliefs - are coming to different areas and doing that," he said.

So someone is going into isolated, rugged territory (unnoticed, leaving no tracks) and carrying out the above...

These guys have reported very fairly on these events

Skeptical, but honest reporting...

Scientist Behind The Navy's "UFO Patents" Has Now Filed One For A Compact Fusion Reactor

The latest in a series of bizarre Navy patents isn't just for a revolutionary reactor that could power cities, but also potentially a craft.

BY BRETT TINGLEY AND TYLER ROGOWAYOCTOBER 9, 2019

---

quote:

---

The War Zone has been reporting on a set of bizarre patents assigned to the U.S. Navy that describe radical new technologies that could absolutely revolutionize the aerospace field, and frankly, the very way we live our lives. These include high-energy electromagnetic fields used to create force fields and outlandish new methods of aerospace propulsion and vehicle design that basically read as UFO-like technology. You can learn all about these patents, their viability, and the issues surrounding them in these exclusive features of ours. Now, the same mysterious Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division engineer behind those patents has produced another patent—one for a compact fusion reactor that could pump out absolutely incredible amounts of power in a small space—maybe even in a craft.

---

quote:

---

In spite of these hurdles, think tanks, such as the American Security Project, believe that fusion reactors in the 21st Century will provide low cost, carbon-free energy to the world, and predict that the United States can lead the world in finally realizing safe and stable nuclear fusion reactors.

---

quote:

---

This latest design is the brainchild of the elusive Salvatore Cezar Pais, the inventor of the Navy’s bizarre and controversial room temperature superconductors, high energy electromagnetic field generators, and sci-fi-sounding propulsion technologies that The War Zone has previously reported on. The patent for Pais’ “Plasma Compression Fusion Device” was applied for on March 22, 2018, and was just published on September 26, 2019.

---

quote:

---

Like the other bizarre Salvatore Pais patents we've covered previously, the extent to which this patent represents an operable, functioning, or even feasible technology isn't clear. The Navy has vouched for some of his designs in the past, however, going so far as to claim these inventions actually exist in an operable form and that they are needed for national security purposes, most notably to keep pace with adversaries like China. But unlike some of Pais’ patents, this application sailed through the United States Patent and Trademark Office without rejection and subsequent appeal.

Curiously, the patent states that “the invention will be discussed in a space, sea, or terrestrial environment” but notes that “this invention can be utilized for any type of application that requires the use of energy generation.” It is unclear what type of application may exist other than space, sea, or land.

---

quote:

---

Salvatore Pais is clearly a busy man finding novel applications for high energy electromagnetic fields, and the Navy is patenting some truly science-fiction-like next-generation technologies that if realized, have the potential to change the course of technological development as we know it. Yes, some will likely wonder if this could be the power source that goes along with his other recent "UFO patents"—the engine needed to complete a seemingly otherworldly craft of some sort. The procession of these patents and their potential relation to one another is certainly intriguing, to say the least.

To be frank, we at The War Zone have no idea what is going on here. We have tried to get the Navy to give us some perspective on why these patents were filed, whether they are based on legitimate technology, and why they were ever made public. The Navy remains unwilling to discuss them. At the same time, nearly every physicist we have talked to thinks all of these patents are beyond the realm of known physics and are almost laughable in terms of viability. At the same time, all this is occurring as the Navy, and the Navy alone out of all of the branches of the U.S. military, continues to discuss the fact that its pilots are encountering unexplained aerial phenomena at an alarming rate.

With all this in mind, is the Navy building some sort of incredible craft based on science that remains foreign to the larger scientific community? Did they already do this years ago and are just slowly lifting the veil now? Are they clumsily trying to emulate what their pilots are seeing in the field, but can not yet fully explain? Could these patents just represent gross mismanagement of resources on the Navy's behalf? Or is this all some sort of elaborate disinformation play by the Navy—one that seems to have emerged right in step the rise of major peer-state competition from the likes of Russia and China, and the biggest expansion of advanced aerospace development programs in decades?

Here’s a believable explanation of those UFO videos released by the Navy
By Jurica Dujmovic Published: Oct 15, 2019 9:36 a.m. ET

---

quote:

---

But let’s consider for a second that the mysterious object in question was manned by a human pilot. In that case, the vehicle would have to be equipped with the technology capable of reducing the inertial mass of the object by generating gravity waves to reduce G-forces during acceleration.

Navy patent Perhaps this could be achieved if the outer shell of the craft were turned into a cavity wall filled with gas, which would vibrate thanks to microwave emitters. This description was taken from a patent the U.S. Navy applied for in 2016, which says such a peculiar craft could move with great ease through air, space or water by being enclosed in a vacuum plasma bubble or sheath.

That could be the UAP that Fravor saw during his documented flight. Gravity manipulating tech at play could explain how the craft was able to effortlessly perform certain maneuvers such as suddenly turning sideways without losing altitude (aka knife-edge flight) in the FLIR1 video, or rapidly changing in-flight direction without visible inertia.

---

quote:

---

So what do you think is more likely? A Navy experimental aircraft, inadvertently uncovered by pilots, or an alien UFO? My bet is on the latest Navy patent, but I’m open to suggestions. Please share them in the comment section below. You can take your tinfoil hat off now.

---

So this writer is making the case that we have had a man made anti-gravitic craft capable of transmedium travel for 15+ years. That in and of itself would be a huge fricking deal worthy of all the tin foil on the planet. If tech this revolutionary has been withheld, it is pretty close to ET level impact.

With this tech, EVERYTHING changes
Will hurt some prominent folks in the pocketbook...

The Army and a UFO Group Are Investigating...Something What's going on here?

By Kyle Mizokami Oct 17, 2019

---

quote:

---

The U.S. Army has joined To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science, a UFO research group, to investigate UFO technology. To The Stars is the same group that released the UFO videos that the Navy confirmed were real. We have questions. Lots of 'em.

The U.S. Army and a prominent UFO research group are teaming up to investigate mysterious technology, but won’t come out and say where the tech comes from.

---

quote:

---

To The Stars, which released the infamous Navy-confirmed UFO videos, made the announcement today on its website, saying it has entered into a “Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command to advance TTSA’s materiel and technology innovations in order to develop enhanced capabilities for Army ground vehicles.”

---

quote:

---

TTSA describes its contribution to the agreement as “technology solutions” that include “material science, space-time metric engineering, quantum physics, beamed energy propulsion, and active camouflage.”

---

quote:

---

The Army will provide “laboratories, expertise, support, and resources to help characterize the technologies and its applications.” “Our partnership with TTSA serves as an exciting, non-traditional source for novel materials and transformational technologies to enhance our military ground system capabilities,” said Dr. Joseph Cannon of Army Futures Command in the press release. “At the Army's Ground Vehicle Systems Center, we look forward to this partnership and the potential technical innovations forthcoming.”

---

quote:

---

Where did TTSA’s impressive list of technology come from? The implicit answer is: UFOs, also known as Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAPs).

UFO/UAP traditionally means anything we spot in the sky that's unusual. But here's the thing: Swamp gas and Venus sightings don't leave behind technology that's so advanced, it needs to be "characterized" by the federal government. Whatever this technology is, and even To The Stars apparently isn't quite sure, it comes from what we commonly call flying saucers.

---

quote:

---

Could To The Stars technology list benefit the Army? Theoretically, yes. “Material science” could lead to tougher, lighter materials able to better resist enemy fire. “Beamed energy propulsion,” which sounds like the use of microwaves or lasers to transfer energy, could enable drones to fly longer. “Active camouflage” sounds like a mimetic camouflage system such as that used by squid or even the Predator.

US Army signs contract to study UFO material and make better weapons
by Tom Rogan | October 18, 2019 02:36 PM

---

quote:

---

The U.S. Army has signed a contract to study and exploit materials from unidentified flying objects. It intends to use what it learns in order to develop new weapons platforms.

No, I'm not joking.

The facts are provided in a newly agreed cooperative research and development contract between the U.S. Army's Combat Capabilities Development Command (specifically, the Ground Vehicle Systems Center) and the UFO technology exploitation group To The Stars Academy. Established by Blink-182 founder Tom DeLonge, To The Stars Academy involves former U.S. government, military, and advanced aerospace engineers in the research and capability exploitation of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UFOs.

---

quote:

---

But what is this metamaterial?

I can confirm that at least some of the source material was retrieved from crash remnants or materials sourced from UFOs. Analysis of these UFOs suggests they are enabled with space-time, cloaking, transmedium travel, and gravity manipulation capabilities. That's not crazy conspiracy talk. In a key credibility submission, the contract adds that "the Office of the Secretary of Defense can share historical reports of findings and origin of materiel solutions in the possession of [To The Stars Academy]."

Translation: historical reports of material exploitation from crashed UFOs. We're not in Kansas anymore, folks.

---

quote:

---

The government's rationale for the contract is simple. "If the government can verify materiel solutions claims by [To The Stars Academy]," it says, "then significant advancements can be made in the capabilities of Army ground vehicle platforms in terms of security, force protection and weight reduction." Read between the lines here: How do you reduce weight? Gravity manipulation.

TTSA released its 2nd nonfiction book today:



Genetics
consciousness
Biological avatars

We have discussed these things here in this thread already...

quote:

---

To The Stars Academy identified several research areas for their focus in the coming years. We have selected a few of them for investigation here, in order to explain the reasons they were chosen and their implications for the study of the Phenomenon. These are consciousness, the brain-computer interface, and telepathy, along with genetics. Genetics is chosen because of proposals by Francis Crick and others that the RNA and/ or DNA molecules were designed and seeded onto this planet deliberately. We find that there is anecdotal evidence to support this idea in several divinatory systems from Africa, China, and elsewhere, as well as in ancient “religious” systems of Egypt and India, among others. We will examine the theories put forward by scientists concerning the genetic code and amplify them with reference to these systems.

---

quote:

---

Consciousness studies is the hot new field combining neurobiology, genetics, and quantum mechanics. There are several important theories of consciousness that deserve our study, but most important are their implications for understanding both the UFO/ UAP Phenomenon as well as human-“ alien” contact. One of the following sections is concerned with the brain-computer interface and thus with artificial intelligence, robotics, and cyborgs. We are close to developing machines that will seem as sentient as human beings but with none of the physical or emotional vulnerabilities. When that happens, we will be forced to ask ourselves some far-reaching questions, such as what it means to be human. We will be forced to ask whether those who pilot or control the UFOs are nothing more than robots or cyborgs, the kind we are in the process of building ourselves. That might have sounded fanciful only thirty years ago, but today there is a very real possibility that human-created androids of some type will be piloting our spacecraft outside the solar system to more distant star systems. Doesn’t that automatically make us consider that the “aliens” reported by our experiencers and abductees are nothing other than the same technology we ourselves are developing?

---

quote:

---

We will also look at telepathy, taking into consideration the scientific research done in the area of remote viewing and also bringing in what we have already learned about consciousness and the brain-computer interface. As many abductees report being in telepathic contact with the “aliens” who abducted them or performed some kind of experimentation on them, is it possible for us to employ the techniques of mental communication in reverse? Is there a component on the microlevel, the non-Newtonian level, that can be exploited to allow us to communicate in new ways with other human beings or even with those nonhuman actors connected with the UFO Phenomenon? These and many other possibilities will be explored in the pages that follow. The information and data we employ will come exclusively from experts in the scientific and engineering communities, from their published work and from personal interviews. The arguments proposed will come largely from ourselves and our advisers, some of whom you already know. The conclusions will be exclusively your own.
