Recently declassified forward looking infrared from U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornets show what the Pentagon is calling "unidentified aerial phenomenon." These FLIR contacts lack wings, any sign of propulsion, and indications are that they can travel upwards of 13,000 miles per hour.
The aircrew (pilots and weapons systems officers) involved were all slow-rolled the first time they debriefed their footage to intelligence officials at their local military commands, but when a former undersecretary of defense leaked the FLIR footage to the New York Times, the Pentagon had to admit that the images were real and the Department of Defense had no reason to believe that UAPs didn't exist.
The only question was what they actually were.
Reasonable analysis basically puts the options into three categories: a domestic developmental program, a near-peer spy program, or aliens. In this episode, Ward builds the case for which of those three he believes is most likely. - Věda a technologie
Ward, I gotta tell ya, I spent 21 years in the Navy, many nights on the flight deck and I have seen things that are unexplainable. Once, in the I.O., in 1985 I saw balls of light move down the stbd side of the USS Kitty Hawk that resembled white lighted balloons, then all of a sudden move away so rapidly that they went from around 50 knots to mach 3+ in 3 seconds. I reported this to Flight Deck Control and was told to get back to work. Others saw them too, we just went back to work and realized that no one would believe us. I am convinced what we saw is "not of this world"
I see flaws in Wards logic. 600-700g? So that’s a bit more of a leap than fly by wire and stealth tech. It’s just too far outside the box. The fact that you assume because mars does. Not harbor life that it is unlikely that these are from other worlds is narrow minded indeed. There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all the beaches in the world. Each star averages 6 planets. Your brain can’t handle those numbers. It’s not ours. Very unlikely. You think DARPA has figured out gravity disruption? Maybe but only if they reverse engineered it. Not organically.

Remember its a chess game. That may be what they want you to think....
That's right
The biggest problem with this argument is that these things are not only being encountered in these 2 spaces. This is and has been a world wide thing.
Exactly!!!
Yeah exactly. I think this guy is a part of the covering up. This guy must think we’re all stupid 🤷🏻♂️
And not just a world wide thing its been this way for way longer than the technology has advanced. There are stories of these ufos for hundreds if not thousands of years. Critically think about stuff and ots not that hard. Does anyone agree with what I am trying to say?
@@Jsedjen UFOs / UAPs are probably not all the same things. Some may be real (i.e. solid objects) and some may be illusions or atmospheric phenomena. One aspect that makes me think a lot of the sightings are not of material (or, at least, solid) is the near universal lack of sonic booms associated with apparently supersonic movements.
My grandfather was an airforce pilot and described in great detail seeing three UFO's in a triangle formation hovering 100 feet above a lake in Tennessee for 45 minutes before shooting straight up and disappearing in the sky in one second. All his neighbors and my grandma saw it too. Apparently a police helicopter even came out to investigate
I live in Tennessee and have seen craft too.

I was on this work up and was actually helping the air framers from VFA-41 on det from VFA-115. I was one of the guys that pushed the bird back into its parking spot after it landed. I remember the pilots coming back in and they were freaking out in a good way, then all the chatter started in the hanger bay with everyone talking about the UFO.

It appears that I am not permitted to post a link to the article but it was recently reported by a respectable media source that the US Navy filed a patent in 2018 describing LIPF generated decoys. The drawings are essentially identical to the Nimitz Tic-tacs. Why is no one talking about that?
N.B. - YT does not allow external links in comments, and I'm not sure about internal links.
Honestly, it is best if we do not talk about it. I agree it is the best candidate for an explanation.
I saw a “tick tac” shaped object moving what seemed like normal jet speed over Tampa Bay on what I thought was an approach to Tampa International Airport on a clear starlit night in 1972 or 73 from a park in NE saint Pete. It suddenly appeared to come to a stop, stayed stationary for a few seconds then shot off at about a 45 degree vertical angle to the north and disappeared in an instant. Never told anyone about it except my son 48 years later. I reasoned it must have been an approaching meteorite that bounced off the atmosphere.

You obviously didn't listen to what he said. He never dismissed scenario 3. He merely suggested through his understanding of how the DoD operates that this is highly likely a US operation, which, if you had some basic understanding of, would not be shocked in the least to know the US is, as it so often has, lying its ass off to The People for the benefit of select banksters, oligarchs, plutocrats, and bureaucrats.
Come on get real brother. They are future humans from the year 8002. They are able to come back through a worm holes or something like that. Through time and space and return. They are watching us. They are watching the development of us. They are watching our technology, making sure we do not destroy ourselves. .

To deny the possible existence of extraterrestrial life on other planets or solar systems is akin to dipping a cup into the ocean and concluding that there are no fish in the ocean simply because none are present within the cup.
@James Bond 007 To be incapable of listening to and understanding someone with a respected enough background to argue that while it is possible that what is being claimed as aliens is in fact aliens, it is far more likely to be the US masquerading alien craft as aliens, only to conclude that what they said was 'there are no aliens', is akin to aliens showing up on earth and concluding all humans are simpletons because many can't understand when someone experienced and knowledgeable enough says 'while it may be aliens, it's likely the US government'.
Swamp gas sure has gotten complex since the 40s... :-D
To say nothing about the weather balloons. 🤔
Here in the UK we're got a lighthouse that's been getting up to some "crazy shit".
A police Sergeant in New Mexico claimed to have seen one of these up close and personal in New Mexico back in '64, and several others have corroborated it. They still have no idea what it was. Google "Lonnie Zamora".
It’s “lens flair” 🤣
Bahahaaa....now that is funny! :-D
I was on the Kitty Hawk from 2001-2005. Pilots would debrief in the intel SCIF. I can’t remember how many times pilots soberly detailed seeing shiny metallic orbs “playing” with them and doing maneuvers no earthly craft could do.
Ward, I'm familiar with David Fravor's sighting. Based on another documentary he was in where he demonstrated his leadership and skills as an aviator, I have no doubt of what he saw.
I believe Fravor's sighting was what he reported. There have been many people who've seen UFO's/UAP's through the years. The Cash-Landrum and Rendlesham Forest incidents seem to demonstrate the UAP's are probably not our technology.
I always sit in my lounge wearing a flight suit.
It’s gangster that he’s wearing his flight suit. Hell I would were it all the time if I was retired pilot. It’s so hard to be one of those guys. Wear it proud man 👍🏼

I can see a bunch of aliens hanging out in a bar swapping stories about how they spent the day freaking out pilots.
These aliens are fortunately friendly but they are cocky. The aliens are fortunate that humans are too stupid to study these technplogies revealed by these over confident aliens. We actually have the technology to take samples of high resolution images and electromagnetic spectrum. We can even shoot the aliens with high power laser beams that may disable their crafts for detailed studies. The first human nation who are willing to go to these lengths will have an insurmountable military advantage.
@@othmanskn And will also be the end of humanity. Since I believe IF we start showing off some hostile tendencies, they will make shishkebab out of us. We might be able to shoot one of them down but hey... being able to manipulate timespace, flying under water, "teleporting", vaninshing... flying 20x faster than a bullet... yeah, we might be able to stand a chance for 3 minutes maybe.. :)
So I urge that nation to NOT engage if that would be the case. :)
They're made of MEAT?
ya, like Star Wars
No creature with the intelligence to span the stars would be interested in sitting in a bar.
That's unfortunate, you didn't mention one of the best parts of the story. When the tic tac showed up 60 mi away that was actually the destination that they were going to for maneuvers before they encountered the tic tac. So, the tic tac had specifically jumped to the very spot they were going to and was waiting for them, when they finally reached their maneuvers location. Which really set them off because how would the tic tac know where they were going for maneuvers?
Exactly if your going to tell the story tell the whole fricking story
Exactly. Better to listen to Fravor tell the complete story himself in interview. As stories pass from teller to teller they lose crucial details while taking on erroneous ones. Mispronunciation of "Elizondro" was also distracting.
If the UFO was, in reality, some top secret experimental gadget of ours being tested, then that 'secret' rendezvous point could have been known to the operator and was just part of the drill - unbeknownst to the pilots!
@@roberts8524it was ours it's called GEM technology I don't feel like typing the whole thing describing what it is but that's what it was take my word for it but you can also do the research GEm I worked for a private company and that's what what we were working on classified shi7
@@roberts8524 Yes, I thought the exact same thing after seeing the hearings.
These craft though are maneuvering exactly how Bob Lazar said they behaved in the 80s. Also interesting is that the new whistleblower Air Force Intelligence Officer is reporting to Congress that the AF has a UAP retrieval program has lots of captured aircraft of non terristrial origin and dead recovered ET pilots. So there’s that.
So he says there's no life on Mars, so then UAPs can't be Aliens!!! Oh dear oh dear, it went downhill fast after that.
Yeah lol that was weird, like ok there might be no life on Mars but theres literally billions of planets out there and who knows whats in there.
I agree. Why can't they remain undetected on other planets anyway.
Perhaps the UAPs are not alien to this planet at all. Perhaps they were human at one time (100K+ years ago) and took to the ground or the moon to escape the instability of the planets' surface. If they had the technology to survive all the floods and volcanoes, they probably would also have life-extending technologies. An advanced species wouldn't live on the surface.
Completely agree with you
I think what is stupid is calling anything dumb in the midst of all this inexplicable stuff. We're spitballing here so if you think it's absurd why not just move on?
The issue I have with suggesting it is a test program is this : these sightings are not new. Sure the ability to have IR lock on them with our latest generation of technology is, but the reality is, the sightings go way back (decades and even centuries).
This RIGHT HERE!

@@Len_J_ I pity the man who assumes they have all the answers.
@@Len_J_ We don't know; why do you?
A dear friend of mine saw a ufo as close as a rock throw, back in the 70’s. My stepfather saw one out of his kitchen window. He went to the bathroom window to have a different angle but there was nothing. He returned to the kitchen window and it had not moved an inch. He says it was about 200 feet away. Now these two events were in small villages in Quebec, Can. I wonder what the US gov. Would want with our small country side if we want to stick with option 1.
A buddy of mine saw something very similar during Vietnam, at roughly the same area as the Nimitz encounters.
An odd light hovering over the ship, behind low-lying clouds.
The Captain was rousted awake, while large directional spotlightlights were set up.
'The moment' those spotlights were turned on- the object instantaneously accelerated towards the horizon, stopping in the distance- where it changed shape and color; from a solid white light, to a reddish hovering figure 8
Do you happen to remember the name of your buddy's ship or the approx date of his sighting?
The apparent disinterest by military leadership would seem to indicate they know full well what these objects are, and either view them as no threat, or a threat they cannot compete with.
They're not disinterested. They are quiet because they can't exactly come out and say that there appears to be technology not made by humans that can violate our airspace with impunity and we can't stop it if it became hostile. The consensus among those 'in the know' is 'we don't know either'.
@@hangfire5005 There's no evidence that these are of extraterrestrial origin. While not impossible, it's the least likely scenario.

@@NickHurrBoi lmfao, highly doubt it… he’s just pointing out the facts of the matter, if you have a background in physics you would know better than to think its aliens, its beyond a shadow of a doubt at this point that its clearly a SA program ie special access program which is above top secret and generally used for technology breakthrough programs, and who ever is running this program clearly has a check list of objectives they must achieve but before the programs ends ie test against current in use platforms and see what intel is collected by them etc…. Highly unlikely its a foreign competitor since the USA has and continues to be the world leader in technology, what is not so unlikely though is that certain parts/materials on the UAP aka the test platform are manufactured in orbit….
They don’t know all of it. But some know bits and pieces. Remember, the Department of Energy can lock down under the highest secret clearance levels any clandestine nuclear program. Several intel groups can lock each other out - CIA, DIA, office of Naval intel, NSA, NRO, etc etc. When an Air Force memo like USAF Lt Gen Twinning wrote his infamous memo saying “these discs are real but are not ours and we don’t know what they are...” you have to know another alphabet agency or even the NAVY does.

I had a teacher in high school who was ex-USAF. He said he never saw a UFO, but he saw radar tracks that were technically impossible.
Those are called “sensor failures”. Not little green men.
@@edwardwright8127 LoL... I have radar playback data of 4 tomcats chasing 'unknowns' that buzzed us sailing, as well as an AWACS plane, and on video that day sailing a UFO shaped object is on our sonar just before electronics go out, our boat turns 90 degrees by itself, and then a ufo is behind our boat, and an object same shape as on sonar is in front of our wake... and that was just the beginning of much much more caught on video that I'm currently trying to get analyzed by 'investigators' the last few months czcams.com/video/GOIvv0dtui4/video.html
@@edwardwright8127 Yeah, and then they have multiple sensors and multiple radars picking up these things, along with very credible eye witness accounts at the same time. I think you need to look up Luis Elizondo, Richard Dolan, Chris Lehto and Bob Lazar. After that, you absolutely should watch the documentary The Phenomenon, and I bet you will understand that this is not human. We are most likely going to have disclosure in our lifetime.
@@edwardwright8127 facts:
1. The object was picked up by multiple radar on multiple ships. They’ve been tracking the tic tac for months. All radars on ships were restarted and then checked on to see if something was wrong.
2. 4 witnesses are pilots that saw with their own eyes & picked it up with the flir.
3. The E2 hawkeye also got it on their radar & there are satellite images. But this is both classified…
4. These are not the only incidents as there are many much more compelling evidence along with military personnel seeing with their own eyes.
You better come up with a good damn extraordinary answer as to why this is a radar sensor bug. Because all of the arguments so far are bs
@@edwardwright8127 that would mean every time a fast walker is recorded by NORAD it shows an extreme amount of "failures" daily.
Thing is, these things are not only seen in military operation areas. These specific observations are only the most resent episodes that CAN NOT BE DISMISSED out of hand, there is similar footage taken by Mexican fighter pilots, not to mention the countless anecdotal observations by commercial airline pilots, and the millions of observations by average citizens. That stretched back far into history. Therefore I think of the alien possibility holds just as much water as the black ops possibility. And they are not mutually exclusive.
YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG AT "CITING" THE FALSE "SIGHTINGS" OF THE MEXICAN AIR FORCE PERSONNEL...
There were not "fighter pilots" at all, but were flying a SURVEILLANCE aircraft with Infrared Cameras, on a flight to detect possible Narcotics carrying airplanes. And they CONFUSED the images of IMAGINED "UFOs", thay in reality were the large heat output flames from the Elevated Flare Burners, burning excess natural gas at the three Offshore Oil Platform complexes at the "Akal-J", "Akal-C" and "Nohoch-A" complexes. (listed from North to South, in the same direction of theor flight path).
Those like myself, that have worked (and lived) for months onboard those platforms, know PERFECTLY how they look, how are those elevated flare burners are arranged; and that the crew mistook them as "UFOs"...
Completely "solved" and DEBUNKED.
Mr. Carrol. thank you for your dedication to our country. I was stationed at NAS Miramar (Top Gun Central) in the Black Lions VF213 squadron, I am proud to say.I was an electrician for F4 Phantoms and F14 Tomcats.

@RedLiver i spent several months underground in an ice cold bunker, with one of those hanging over my head by chains from the top.
I worked for 8 years as an aviation maintenance line mechanic. I have talked to hundreds of pilots, and I can confirm that many of them have seen airborne phenomenon that they can't explain. But very few of them will talk about it, and when they do it is only with people who they trust. If they say anything openly their airline will send them for psychological evaluation and that's not a good thing to have on your record.
Sounds like a great way to institutionally frighten the pilots into silence.

Hey Ward, I love your channel and get riveted listening to your professional demeanor & splendid info.
I was born in the late 50’s and lived 5 miles from a SAC base in
New England.
My home was in the flight path of the base. I have seen & heard MANY military aircraft. I was always looking up into the sky, and knew what type of aircraft I was looking at.
When I was 16 I saw a reportable UFO anomaly. I reported it to the sheriffs dept
on the phone mins later. I thought that was the end of it.
Several mos later I had a visitor come to my home unannounced.
He was a “private” UFO investigator complete with a business card that he gave me! He spent almost 2 hrs interrogating me, including going to the precise spot I saw the UFO.
He refused to answer any of my questions directed to him until he was done asking me. He later said that based on location and timeline that included other sightings they were able to track the UFO in the area of several towns.
He then left, never seeing him again.
This was in the early 70’s, I guess during operation Blue Book.
After 20 yrs I lost his biz card 😕
A few years later I dated a girl that had an uncle that was a local cop. He was part of
“Incident in Exeter”
He was on scene closely observing a UFO hovering then taking off.
He gave me a detailed description of his on scene experience. It was in the same general area I saw my sighting. This area was a hotspot for a couple decades. And we were 5 mi from an Air Force base.
Yup they exist.
But I highly doubt that they would be from our solar system (Mars etc).
Same here , I saw a lighted triangle on the ground in pacific palisades, will Rogers state park, near midnight. I contacted Mufon from a local bulletin board flyer, he went with me to my viewing point, came with a large thick manual, binocs and took pics rec, asked many questions. So guessing your visitor may have been Mufon as well. They probably also have your report archived.

@@generallobster I worked for the Government also and the idea the government has devices that can control gravity and it hasn’t leaked out for decades is ridiculous. People can’t shut up. They never could shut up. Why would the government run secret experiments where there is a carrier task force and some of the top pilots in the world. Commander Fravor was the best of the best. He is the last guy they want to get into the middle of an
experiment. We can’t control gravity. We have no experimental craft that can control gravity and probably won’t have it for several hundred years. If Fravor and 3 other flyers saw a tic tac shaped object defy gravity and the radar and other capabilities of the carrier task force also electronically saw the same objects for weeks on every device used to spot craft, I tend to believe them.

When I was a kid in Florida me and my pop were sailing and got caught in a thunderstorm. At one point the lightning got very bad and we saw a huge light come out of the clouds. It hovered for a few seconds and then shot off very fast toward the west. We were dumbfounded and thought that the news papers would have reports the next day. Well not a word in the paper and never figured out what it was.
Some of my family and I saw what everyone has agreed was ball lightning over Back Bay VA Beach VA. It was around 1985. Sounds similar
Love how you actually explain what you’re speaking about
Great video, earned a new subscriber! One point I would like to make though is that you mention that these things were seen in military no-fly zones, then ask why they aren't being seen elsewhere. I immediately thought to myself - well that's where the planes are. Lol. And in the case of the west coast tic-tac, it wasn't even the plane that made initial contact - it was the ship. No ship, no sighting by the F-18s (ship was tracking for days and no planes had spotted it). If there are no planes in an area, or just planes without advanced radar, of course they won't been seen. You have to consider that if something can be piloted while pulling 600 to 700 Gs and go 13,000 MPH in our atmosphere is way, WAY beyond what we know. To dismiss the idea because 'Mars has no evidence of a civilization capable of interplanetary travel' is a puzzling comment in an otherwise excellent commentary. Just my 2 cents.
You spoke my mind. The mars isn't the whole universe.
If something can travel at 13k in our atmosphere, flying through galaxies to visit the earth isn't supposed to be an issue for it.
Besides, we don't have radars like the us navy at homes, so who else can tack them? Maybe the ufos fly over our heads every hour but we simply can't see them at those speeds.

I saw one of these things and I am convinced it is some sort of light artifact from something else. The one I saw looked like a translucent triangle. Like putting glass under water stream, where the water runs over the glass and it's transparent, but on the edges where the water is getting on top of the glass, you can see the edges are raised slightly so that when it moves it looks like an cloaked triangle where as it is moving in the sky the light is bending differently around its edges. 😊
How would you explain simultaneous radar contacts by ships and planes as they observe the whatever-they-are's?
@@matthewdavies2057 I know nothing! I'm just saying what I saw. It was maybe 150 yards from where I was standing, above a high rise building, on a summer evening last year, around 9pm in the Northern Hemisphere in Canada. So it was still barely light outside but turning to darkness. And it was hovering slowly above the building and then disappeared. It scared the shit out of me and I phoned a bunch of my friends. Then I googled "translucent triangle ufo" and there was hundreds of sightings others saw too everywhere. The fact that there are very few sightings over Russian and Chinese space (you can see the GIS mapping of UFO sightings - almost all of them are in US, Canada and UK, and Western Europe, and then in Australia, Japan and South East Asia and Africa - but almost none over former Soviet territory and China) suggests that this is NATO military technology experimentation. The ability to reflect light by bending light in some way to cloak or hide a craft is theoretically very plausible. The stealth fighters are all triangular. The creation of the US space force at the same time as the new UFO revelations also suggests this. My guess is that this is purposeful deep state media manipulation in order to deflect from the many space launches they are doing. Elon Musk's spaceX and his internet satellites are another deflection that the deep state would use to explain sightings so the convergence of all these things all at the same time suggests to me that the purpose of the space force is to deploy military capacity in the orbit of the earth and install cannons in order to be able to bomb a target on the earth. Whoever can do that will permanently control the world since they will be virtually indestructible while having the ability to exert force on anywhere unopposed. To do that, you would need the ability to launch a missile from space. To launch a conventional missile from space wouldn't be possible, since they are shot out through physical combustion and pressure, and for that you need air made up of oxygen, since without oxygen there is no combustion, and there is no air in space. So the missile could not be a conventional bomb. Rather, you would need a laser of some kind, as in the space movies, but that requires an enormous amount of energy, since a laser is essentially light, and photonic energy is miniscule, you would need ridiculous amounts of energy to yield any sort of destructive power by laser alone. However, you could use kinetic energy, a sort of sling-shot or ballistic projectile, which you could launch into the orbit of the earth with proper calculations, and as it enters the earth's gravity, it will be pulled into the orbit picking up speed and accelerating, so that when it hits a target on the earth, it's possible theoretically it could have a massive impact implosion - akin to a meteor hitting the earth, like the big one that destroyed the dinosaurs. I'm guessing you could easily get the impact as would be generated by a conventional nuclear weapon, but without any of the nuclear fall out that would contaminate a large area. That's my guess of what all this is. It's a violation of various treaties the US has signed on weaponization of space, so they're using the cover of UFO sightings and sending out the deep state agents to misinform so that if someone sees a launch or something they're doing, they would think "UFO."
Thank you for your service but with all due respect your conclusion makes no sense.
If this was a domestic aircraft why keep it secret all these years through multiple wars.
These craft have been spotted for over 50 years now.
If walks like a duck...
because they will not share the technology with the general public. The Military industrial complex protect the banking and oil industry.
@@nickshires9537 you are correct. The US Military Industrial Complex does work for the banking and oil industries - by creating and running wars that require the ordinary people to fund said Complex by hundreds of billion dollars. So why keep such technology from the battlefield? With such technology they can pop up and start wars quickly, surely and often. How does it benefit the banking and oil industries if it is not used?
@@argosz8046 Who says it hasn't been used?
@@nickshires9537 The Foo Fighters were over 75 years ago.
You don't think we had this then do you? Seriously.
Loving this content, along with your style and delivery. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you for your aviator's insight on this topic. I always keep in mind that during his retirement speech in 1994, Ben Rich, then head of Lockheed Skunk Works, said "We are working on technologies that are 50 years ahead of what is in the public domain." and "We have the technology to take ET home."
Lightspeed velocities? Bullshite!
Bolstering for funding maybe
But for the next moon-landing we will use rockets again…
If such tech existed there is no way the F35 would still be a thing. That would be like having jet aircraft and keeping them secret- while still building and paying for triremes with oars.
Not really, EM drives, the proposed mechanism for these UAPs violate the known laws of physics and have not been shown to work. Yes NASA , other countries including China and top university research programs have looked at this proposal for obvious reasons the last 20 years with little to nothing to show for it.
Fantastic , I just found you and subscribed after this initial viewing .
Saw one of these UAPs long before they were known as UAPs. I was surf fishing late at night summer of 1999 in Sandbridge Beach, VA. My friend and I were 14 or 15 and watched as a "star" accelerated and decelerated while moving in a huge triangular pattern. We ran back to house and got our fathers who were also witness to this things which was btw operating in or just off the edge of the VACAPES range. For about fifteen years we four felt very sure but very odd about what we had all witnessed. When the reports starting dripping out from the aircrews it was VERY clear that we had seen the same things they had/have been seeing out there. We're not talking about terrestrial stuff here imho unless we've been testing the same development craft in plain view of the public for 20+ years without it progressing or being revealed. Not to mention these things are whipping in and out of some very high Mach numbers without any perceptible form of propulsion or noise whatsoever. There are no alloys currently known to man that can withstand the forces we are talking about here without powdering completely. From insanely high Mach numbers to complete standstills INSTANTANEOUSLY is what this thing was doing over and over again and moving in very precise and sharp angles. Lol if the Chinese or Russians got to that level of propulsion and metallurgy on the pennies they spent on defense compared to us during those decades......lol.....well then I'm the Easter Bunny. No they aren't ours or theirs and they aren't from Mars or anywhere "close by". These things must be from some very advanced civilizations who are looking at us the way we look at an anthill. I hope I live long enough to see and hear the full story, but I can assure you, just like all the other eyewitnesses, you won't believe this stuff until you see it.
I tend to agree with you Colin
saw that too..i saw one stop go a diff direction..then zip str8 up in the air star wars style idc if people laff anymore..i saw it ..so like u saw until u see one its all funny n shit..
As you, I also don’t believe these are Russian and Chinese. The Chinese are copiers, they try and build something similar too a western type aircraft. As far as the Russians, after the fall of the Soviet Union, they don’t have the dollars to build something this advanced. Then it defers to us, are best engineers, metallurgy and power systems only take the next step in performance. We have no science that can build 200-400 G and 15,000 MPH craft that show no signs of propulsion. Maybe in 1,000 - 10,000 years we could get there, unless we had examples of the technology that we could copy. This still brings us back to metallurgy, power systems and flying without any link to gravity is way outside our capabilities. I believe there government wants us to believe it’s earth based only because they are worried about the implications of the public thinking it’s non-terrestrial.
I saw a black triangle alien spacecraft land in a field in England there was 20 of us who saw it land, it was in 2017
Over 100 small alien beings came out of the craft, we went over to see the spacecraft&the aliens had a black boxes on there backs, with black suits
They was peaceful, I waved to the alien&it waved back
I recommend everyone watch The Phenomenon documentary, it will blow your minds. Some of these things are definitely not man made technology. I've researched this stuff very hard for a long long time now, and I think we will have some form of disclosure in our lifetime. Most people who argue against this, just straight up have not seen the information yet, and once they do, they start to understand that something is going on here and it sure as hell is not ours.
Think everyone needs to read “UFOs And The National Security State” by Richard Dolan. There are two volumes. This goes back 70 years.. we weren’t flying these things 7 decades ago, that dog don’t hunt. :)
That they have been seen throughout human history doesn't mean they all have something to do with one another. What were the "Fireball" variants of the "Fuckin' Foo Fighters" of WWII? Someone actually _shot one of those down_ -where is it? Why aren't they seen anymore? Is this tic-tac looking thing the same sort of thing as the "Phantom Airships" of the turn of the Twentieth Century? There seems to be some sort of midline prominence that could be interpreted as an airship's control cabin, if that's the sort of aircraft you're familiar with. Or are they unrelated? Which are aliens from our space? Which are extradimensional entities? Which are successful examples of official secrecy in action? Which are phenomenons of detection of all kinds, including human perception and equipment failures and operational limitations? (My father was a Weapons Controller and can tell of tracking swarms of insects and distant automobiles on radar, resulting in shocking phenomena, and I have sufficient understanding of electronics to know that the strangest of failure conditions can exist.) There can't be a unifying theory of UFOs until we have much more data, and that's that.
Ate you serious??? The Nazis experimented with flying saucer type air craft. This technology is likely very old and very secret.
It sounds far better than listening and to Dr Greer cry about his “assassinated friends” while asking for money.
If you are actually a part of such secret activities as Lamar claims you usually are smart enough to not go public without serious proof.
Follow the money from the “UFO culture”.
Nah it's our technology in the future flown around the air base occaisionally flying faster in their time than the speed of light so it can be seen in our time
Lazarus, your logic is solid. We don’t know what’s related and what isn’t, definitely going to need more data for a definitive answer… but, we don’t need more data to conclude that some of these incidents tilt towards tech that humans just have not made yet.
Dan, I doubt it. Any propulsion that advanced would have made it into the civilian world decades ago, and any country who can harness and control it would be the de facto hegemonic power on earth. That Nazi thing doesn’t make sense.
Chris, first, I’d like some of what you’re smoking sir:.. Cuz it sounds amazing. :)
@@danielcurtis1434 That is just conjecture. The Nazis never really had that kind of technology. The soldiers defending northern France at D-Day were astonished to see allied forces invading with no horses, if that tells you anything.
I started flying when I was 14. Was commercially rated as soon as I was old enough and same for my ATP. 35 year professional flying career and I have twice seen something in the sky that I can't explain. I can't tell you what they were. I CAN tell you what they weren't.
Tell, tell! What’d they look like?
Ive been ATC. Im at a TRACON now but used to work ZAN had reports unexplained and was interviewed about. Also, when he says planets dont really support life. I can think of one. Lolz. Also, in billions of years without developmental setbacks ie mass extinction events what would their technology potentiallylook like?
Great info .thanks for posting this
Very interesting until he zeros out the fact UAP's are seen (70+ years now) globally not just in a couple US training ranges
These aircraft have been seen by both sides fighting in World War II. They were known as Foo Fighters. They often flanked bombers on runs on both sides of the war. But they never attacked nor interfered. The Axis powers thought it was a top secret device made by the Russians. The allied side believed them to be intelligence gathering aircraft from Nazi Germany. Today, it is likely they are top secret technolgy from nations that have not revealed they have it. However, what were the Foo Fighters in World War II? Maybe today what is being seen may be a combination of what was known as Foo Fighters and top secret technology from nations that have not revealed they have that technolgy.
Here's an explanation. czcams.com/video/Hv-sbtCAz9Y/video.html
They are alien to our time zone and physical world.
And the idea they are ours, or anyone from our normal reality is insane. No materials we have can come close to withstanding the speeds and G forces of these vehicles. No power plants put out the energy, and that small, they would need, to make them move like they do, and do it for days at a time. No where in his or anyone elses lifetimes have such giant leaps taken place. Not even close.
They are all over the globe and have been for thousands of years, and not just for some show and tell in our military zones. Only now, with mass communications, advanced radars and optics and recording devices do we see them more often, and we can record and transmit such encounters.
But there are still people who want to claim it is normal (swamp gas, Venus, weather balloons, birds) or we have it in a secret shed somewhere. Deniers are deniers.
@@free100x Or, you know. Some people just don't understand how cameras work.
@@VikingTeddy The problem with the camera angle arguments is, that these are seen in real time by extremely advanced radars and by the pilots experienced eyeballs. The speeds they are seeing are out of this world quiet literally.
For example he mentions Fravor's encounter and the fact the UFO was 60 miles away at what he called several times the speed of sound. Oh that sounds normal, when in fact Fravor and his wingman said it was out of sight in less than 2 seconds, and it showed up almost instantly afterwards according to radar 60 miles away. Which was their original rondevu location for their fighters 60 miles away.
And there many of them at the same time (a fleet of them), that was seen for days on their radars. Some reports on WWII bombers claimed their radars clocked some "foo fighters" at 10,000 mph, that their crews saw visually as well. But not for long at those speeds.
It’s my favorite position to hear, when skeptics concede that UAPs violate a number of known physical laws, then go on to claim that it cannot be of extraterrestrial origin because the rapid interstellar travel would violate a number of known physical laws.
The only physical laws we abide by and believe are the ones we have been educated on and told by scientists. Surely it’s possible that some interstellar UAP’s or extraterrestrial civilisations have the ability to bypass these laws
I haven't seen any clear evidence that known physical laws have been violated. I hear stories. I see obscured objects on thermal and infrared videos. I read numbers that seem to get pulled out of someones ass. But I have seen no evidence.
@@nickolaslynn I'll give you one....the disappearance of the tic tac before their very eyes, mid air. How does that not break all the laws of physics?
@@Steve-qt2xm Where's the video?
@@nickolaslynn well you know there is no video, but fravor and deitrich (and others) witnessed it disappear. Are you saying they made it up? If you are going to go down the line of, 'show me a video or it didn't happen', then there's no point in discussing it really.

Reminds me of another "expert" who was just quoted as saying, "They can't be ET from another galaxy. That's just not how the universe works". Like he's god and knows how the universe works!! smh
And we have not even been to Mars. Our robots have. But because humans are the most superior beings in the Universe, there can not be any other form of life. The only thing bigger and more empty than the universe, is our ego.
Yea wow ok. So I heard that now and was like wowza I'm heading back to that comment.

As a WSO in the 80s flying RF-4s, I photographed a UFO with the cameras on board the jet. Pilot could see it below, but I could not due to intakes. Pilot wanted to go inverted to give me a look, but I said no, because no one would believe us. I said let's take some photos. When we landed I took the film to the PIP to develop. I turned ever camera on board the jet. So the crew chef helped with the canisters. Meanwhile the pilot turned in his gear at life support and went to operation to brief the rest as to what he saw. When I approach the steps to OPS, I was greeted by a 05 stating I did not see anything, and it's TS. I didn't see anything, because of the intakes, and the object was below out flight level, and we passed over it, before it passed us like we were sitting still, and did a square 90 degree turn and climb, to be out of sight in the blink of an eye. All I saw was a blur as it passed us, because my head was in the cockpit running switches for the cameras. Needless to say in debrief, I was told that all the cameras had failed. Right!
You saw a stealth you weren’t supposed to see
@@pjsheehaniii Oh, it was something he wasn't supposed to see all right, but it wasn't stealth
So what was it ?
@@scallen3841 How the hell do I know? All I know is that stealth aircraft, or any aircraft that depends on wings, and conventional flight surfaces, and thrust in order to fly, do not make ninety-degree turns on a dime and then take off and disappear. So, you make whatever you want out of that. I have my own ideas, but they're just mine.
@@geraldtrudeau3223 are you sure they all need wings? Have you seen this Cracker Jack? It’s French.

Cool videos very informative I knew these things would start coming up sooner or later
Thanks mate ..best explanation I've seen yet👍💯
The first well-known UFO sighting occurred in 1947, when businessman Kenneth Arnold claimed to see a group of nine high-speed objects near Mount Rainier in Washington while flying his small plane. Arnold estimated the speed of the crescent-shaped objects as several thousand miles per hour and said they moved “like saucers skipping on water.” In the newspaper report that followed, it was mistakenly stated that the objects were saucer-shaped, hence the term flying saucer.
totally wrong , the 'UFO' phenomenon are known long before 1947 or arnold sighting. theese anomalous things been around the cascade mountains far before and even during native indian times they have lore about such sightings.. that area is a hot bed of sighting , on the western side of the mountain area there's plenty of UFO and bigfoot sightings, on the eastern side the yakima reservation there's no sighting at all except a few near the Fire lookout towers
I recall some testimony that this phenomenon was observed by some pilots during WW2. Therefore, I find it implausible that the US or any near peer could have possessed such technology at that stage of scientific advancement. Also, if the craft travel at extraordinary high speed, the operators would not necessarily reside within our solar system.
Experts have proven that what he seen could have been a trick of light caused by the canopy of his plane the snow on the surrounding mountains the time of day & the suns position at this time & the direction & altitude he was flying. There were other factors that were part of the equation also. They even questioned his eyesight & state of mind. I don't know what he seen was real or illusion since I wasn't there,so maybe he did see UFOs,maybe he didn't. I do believe 100% that there are other species in the Universe that are so far more advanced than humans. I have had 3 separate sightings of UFOs & the 2nd sighting was observed by at least 10 other people & lasted for over 20min. Mind blowing maneuvers at ridiculous speeds. Were they ours? I don't know? Were they from outer space? I don't know? But they are incredible to view & totally silent. REVOLUTION!!
The story was picked up at the time as it was a slow news day
Really enjoy your cogent review of this stuff. I am 73 years old, ever since I first watched 'Forbidden Planet' back in 1958, I have been 'hooked' on anything flight, or space. Over the years I came to grasp the physical reality of the size and configuration of the universe and, the limits of our physical science and capabilities. Even though my mind says, 'No This Is Not Possible', my heart wants to believe that something is " Out There ".
How was it a ”cogent review” when he dismissed ’Aliens’ with the argument ”We have no proof of a civilization on Mars.” 😂
Im not convinced this is domestic. Your analogy of no civilization life on Mars may be accurate. But who the hell with half a brain would limit extraterrestrial life to what does or doesn't happen on Mars?? There are people a trillion planets and universes besides ours! I think you blinders on, Ward!
Hey Godfrey. You and I come from that generation. I am a 49er. Born two years after the Roswell NM flap.
We were exposed to things before what seems to be a massive Cover up was put in place. I believe we have a responsibility to those who were born later, when the Cover up was in full tilt to know what happened before it went dark.
Also loved Forbidden Plant, but I would give a nod to The Day The Earth Stood Still. That latter one seems to be the subject of the MUFON Community.
That there us more fact than fiction to its story line.
Big error on your part! That is what the scammers want. Just remember: If it moves like a reflection, it is fake, and is being produced by something in your aircraft!

My dad is as in the army in the 50s and they tracked a UFO on radar, well once they were able to lock on. It left the trailing fighters like they were standing still. After, his crew were told to forget what they saw.

They are fallen angels, my dad was in the RAF in Australia, Australia has more of these sightings than anywhere on earth, they also manifest as what's called mim mim lights
@@stevenbingham859 While I am not suggesting this was the case, there is a remote possibility that this may be some form of space distortion used as a means of propulsion. This would eliminate g force issues and permit instantaneous travel to targeted points. It also would permit space travel over great distances.
In cases observed in France and Belgium, there was evidence of intense electromagnetic fields.
Using terminology like "non ballistic flight" to act smart and confuse people into believing you? Lol. Youre either using the term wrong, or contradicting your own conspiracy theories.
Everybody that has ever seen any man made flying machine functioning properly has seen non ballistic flight.

He doesn’t account for all of the sightings world wide. The difference in technology between what we have and what we witness are far far far beyond a “leap”

Mooch, I’m a bit late posting on this video, and probably someone else has already posted this thought, but to dismiss out of hand the idea that these objects could not be extraterrestrial vehicles just because one or two of the rocky planets in our own local solar system appear to be devoid of intelligent life, is quite shortsighted and surprising uncharacteristic of your usual insightful and spot-on commentaries we are fortunate enough to receive on your excellent channel.
Very interesting video and I love your insight into this. However I see one big problem with your theory on it being a test aircraft. If indeed these are test aircraft and they were getting these F-18 pilots to unwittingly be in a test, would they have been willing to risk the life of its F-18 pilots ( who just may have engaged the said test aircraft) and a million dollar aircraft? Not only that but also the life of the pilot in a supposed test aircraft and what would likely be in an even more expensive aircraft?
I have to admit I don't know much about how the Air Force and navy operates in their testing. I was just an old army grunt but when we were testing things out in training in the Army, we never used soldiers as live bait with live ammo. Seems to me that that would be an unnecessary risk and perhaps a very costly one.
Not to mention near-collisions.
I know we don't like to think of ourselves as expendable, but that's exactly what we are in the eyes of our government and military. Remember all the soldiers that were intentionally exposed to nuclear radiation while we were "testing" all of those bombs. The British even did it to their soldiers too. I've also heard stories of citizens being exposed to chemicals. We're just fancier lab rats.
Interesting perspective from a Navy pilot, but I disagree with your conclusion, Ward. I was a senior manager of engineering for Lockheed Martin on the F-35. My role was verification of mission capabilities in the battlespace environment. I held CIA clearances. In all test programs, the number one rule never, NEVER to be broken, is health and safety. We would never do anything in a test program that might get someone hurt. Testing strange craft of this type over populated areas, where someone might be driving their kids home from soccer practice and might be distracted by our hardware and end up wrapped around a tree, would be a violation of test protocols that we would never, never, NEVER allow, not for ANY reason. Not to mention, we would never allow someone to see these things who have not been read into the program. To my knowledge, there has never been a US military test program that behaves as carelessly and recklessly as what we've seen from these craft. We just don't do that kind of thing.
Okay, sure.
@WALLY Lafferty: so much about the official version...
So the CIA never tested drugs on unknowing peoople in the 50's and did not make tests about the dispersion of biological weapons with some weak pathogens all over the USA...?
Maybe they didn't know the first rule, or, more probabe, there are NO rules that can't be broken under certain circumstances...
@@stscc01 Those programs certainly have been done by certain people or teams in the government. But in weapon system development, such as classified aircraft, all defense contractors are legally constrained by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). We don't violate the FAR, because doing so would end our ability to compete for contracts.
@@wallylafferty1166 and you actually believe those restrictions would apply also to such a groundbreaking project, that would mean no less than undisputed technological leadership for at least some decades? Imagine the possibilities this technology would offer to any military on earth...
I'm no tin-hat, but I do not believe any government could resist, let alone any air force. They would make that a ultra-black project with literally no strings attached.
The possibilities are just too great...
That is the reason why I do not believe that those UAPs are human technology. The Russians or the Chinese would immediately have used this advantage for world domination, before any other power could have catched up.
And the USA? Well, I'm not sure if they hadn't used it the same way...
@@stscc01 All I can say is that having worked in the test programs of classified aircraft for many years, I do not see a way for highly classified military aircraft to be tested within view of the public. Period. For that reason, I don't believe these are military or defense contractor test flights. They're something else, in my opinion.
Wow Keep the Great News
Coming.
thanks😀👍🏻
A number of years ago I was looking up at the sky just after the sun went down with the light still going up into the air, and saw what seemed like a round object with no lights or visible propulsion move move quickly on an angular movement and be gone. It seemed to have no gravity and made me think it was a probe of our atmosphere and made our jets seem sluggish comparatively.
"after the sun went down with the light still going up into the air" - Huh?
Couldn’t it be also that the conformed sighting are taking place in these training areas because of the massive amount of equipment and experts there and the area is also isolated which allows for conformation? There are sightings elsewhere but they cannot confirmed at the same manner.
That's my also my question. These sightings predate flight. There's a very long history of unexplainable sightings that goes back quite a while.
I would say we would have to be crazy and incredibly conceited to believe that earth is the only planet out of who knows how many are out there that just so happens to sustain intelligent life, or that we are the smartest thing in this vast universe.
I mean we don't even really know what is at the bottom of our own oceans but we claim that there can't be life outside of this planet?
@@highjix Great point. It's a mathematical impossibility that we are the only intelligent life forms in the universe. You're right, we're amazed yearly by species that still exist or even exist at all near the ocean floor.

My uncle, a USAF lieutenant (would be promoted to a USAF Lt. Colonel), and Ph.D. Electrical Engineer was piloting a transport craft over the Rocky Mountains in 1952.
Over Utah and Colorado (I don’t know the altitude) late afternoon, he saw what he described as a 300 ft long shiny metallic cigar shaped and proportioned object without windows, wings, contrail, exhaust or any know method of propulsion, that appeared approximately 1/8 mile off his port cockpit. It paralleled them for 25-30 min then accelerated almost instantaneously. Flying away to the northwest. This was witnessed by his entire crew. They decided not to disclose the sighting for fear of reprisals.
I doubt that US or Peer nations had that technology at the time.
It is an unknown. No need to go beyond that characterization.
Sounds like the uss Macon or similar airship.
The speed comes from wind and relative velocity of the airplane to the blimp. Almost all of these air giants got lost due to storms. Just wiki the Macon, it is worth it! Very interesting
@@chrisplus563 you dont think a USAF L could classify a blimp? lmao okay
@@btson6134 if he just has a short time to observe it in bad weather conditions. And it was a rare seen object (there were only 2 in this size, like the Macon). He is just a human, that can happen.
@@chrisplus563 yeah and same goes for commander fravor, alex, and the hundreds of other top gun pilots.....yeah right
the hoops one has to jump through to explain these sightings away as normal is ridiculous
@@MegavoltHomeschool ah the brilliance of discovery..
Thank you for this enlightening information.
Nicely done
" We got them on visual, radar, video and FLIR only where we do military exercises so that means they are only at those locations. We never caught them where we were not present."
Brilliant.
🤔
@@0714will That goes with Neil DeGrass Tyson also.... Tired of these dumb twisted explanations. :-)
They can be seen with night vision ……
Yep. Wasn’t there, didn’t happen. Right
Almost no one mentions the fact the UFO ‘s are watching nuclear installations, test sites, power plants, nuclear aircraft carriers etc and have shut down one power plant and started up another.
Not just powerplants. They shut down the ICBM's at Malmstorm
That's because you're confused about what a 'fact' is.
@@Trekari no this has been testified to in congress. Its a legit issue. Whatever the UAP are, theyre very interested in our nukes
@@kidddogbites Why do you think that an alien species that has the technology to travel between the stars and have ships that, to us, perform impossible manoeuvres, would be interested in our nuclear technology?
This would be the equivalent of us taking a very keen interest in how ancient tribes fought each other with spears.
His dismissal of Alien tech was laughable.
There are many ways to sway public opinion, Ward could just as easily be working for the government, whilst pretending to be seeking the truth..
Very good video good info👍
Just wanted to tell my experience with UFOs, we were staying at a beach house near a marine base in Jacksonville NC. One early morning when I couldn’t sleep I decided instead of getting up I would try and give it one more shot so I layer back down and was looking around the room. It wasn’t very dark. maybe there was a full moon. As I looked around I noticed the upper left corner looked very weird. It was way to dark to be a shadow and it was hard to look at because it hurt my eyes. It felt like when you were a kid and you put you grandfathers glasses on. It stained the eyes.
Since I was now wide awake, I sat up and tried to make sense of this, as I can best describe, it was a black cloud. As I laid back down, all of a sudden a little white orb shot out of the corner and zipped around the room. Then another and another. Five in all. They flew around until they notice that I was watching them. They gathered directly over my head up at the ceiling. I remember thinking, what the hell am I looking at? What in the world are those things? Do they realize I can see them? They hovered for a little while and then one of them shot down right infront of my face, maybe 8 inches away as if to say, you want to know what we are, have a closer look. It went from the size of a quarter to the size of a tennis ball. The best way to describe it is, it was as if I was looking at pure energy. Then they all popped one after the other.
All of a sudden I felt like I was going to pass out. Like when you get anesthesia before surgery. One minute you’re awake and the next out cold. I remember thinking before passing out, is the black hole still there? I could barely turn my head to look but,yes it was still there. So that was that. Who know what happened afterwards. Im surprised they let me remember their visit. They didn’t seem dangerous. Honestly more playful.
Also that week, there were several call to the police . People reporting seeing a triangular object sitting out over the ocean.
Sounds a lot like sleep paralysis and/or hypnogogic hallucination.
Amazing content... CZcams was really missing out without you. Keep it coming!!!
*MOOCH -- 50K subs is something like +10K in less than 2 weeks -- a tribute to your practical, no-BS approach to Naval air and other topics! THANK YOU, you are "ON the Ball!"*
You remind me of a young Burt Reynolds. Thank you for a well researched and objective accounting of the events.
Very well explained. Thank you for this and indeed it will be interesting to see how things develop after the congress hearing. Greetings from Germany.
When you don’t know, you don’t know. So to come out of the gate and say it has to be 1 of 3 things is simply wrong, unless of course one of those options is simply “unknown”.
Exactly, I don't know why people do that, he doesn't know he's just guessing, you ever see thunder foots debunk of these videos good watch.
@@PaulBrown-uj5le yea I’ve seen it. And no doubt he’s very smart and makes a compelling argument. The only issue I have that bugs me is how so many gov employees and private companies employees that have no doubt reviewed these films. We will likely never know if any of them came to the same conclusion but would like to know, otherwise it’s hard to imagine one man would ID what hundreds or even thousands missed, smart or not. Who knows?
So we went from stealth to Adamantium.
He qualifies his three possibilities and suggests it’s a super secret test program. Sounds fair enough to me.
This is a very illogical assessment. There are plenty of things you might not know which has a finite numbers of realistic options.
Ward, you provided absolute brilliant commentary, I've seen multiple interviews with Fravor on this and was wondering if it would just be the same old story. You however made some great adds and took it to the next level. Thank you!
Your theory that the UAPs are only a part of a training program is less than believable.
This situation reminds me of the scene in the 1980 movie, “The Final Countdown.” One of my favorite movies. I saw it in the theater when I was 13 yo.
Anyway, it’s a time travel movie with Kirk Douglas wherein the USS Nimitz lands in December 7, 1941 and they must decide whether to defend Pearl Harbor, or to not interfere with history.
Anyway, one scene is when the F-14s fly circles around the Japanese Zeros.
FYI- My Mother’s brother was one of the 326 survivors from the USS Arizona when attacked by The Empire of Japan at Pearl Harbor on 12/07/1941.
Y'know what they say: its never aliens, until its aliens.
But whatever it is, its pretty dang interesting.
Could still be humans - from alternative universe or the future - using interdimesional or/and time travel technology ; ))
@@dawidw9199 It's much more likely humans from this timeline, using plain old known physics :)
@@dawidw9199 Everything is done by humans, because we are so damn special. Definitely can not be any other form of life. As a matter of fact we are gods crowning achievement, which he created in his own likeness, and man being the gentleman he is, so kindly returned the favor.
@@Desrtfox71 Do you understand plain old physics? I have been studying it for the last 46 years and I still do not understand it.
@@justanotherguy469 WTF.
There’s more planets swinging around stars then humans have a number for we’re not alone pal
But... are these other
planets flat like our Earth??
🤣
🍻
Actually we are alone and there is no proof to the contrary
Keep in mind that the same factors, that makes it an almost mathematical certainty that intelligent life exists somewhere else in the universe - being the size and the age of the universe - also insures, with the same mathematical certainty, that we will never meet them.
@@jasonjmarchi no proof that God (or gods) exist either,yet billions of people believe that they do.
@@ronvonbargen8411 There's no *proof*, but the odds are astonishingly high. We're made of the most abundant elements in the universe, there are zillions of planets similar to ours, etc. It's really likely that there's someone out there. It's also really likely, however, that we'll never see them.
All I can say is this some very cool stuff. If for any reason that we think we are the only one's out there then we are sadly mistaken. Great vid!!!!
👍Thks for speaking out.🇺🇲🇺🇲
This was my first time watching your videos and for once after visiting many different sites we get an individual such as you that speaks with authority without adding in some far-fetched ideas. Thank you very much for the clear and understandable explanation I look forward to watching many more videos.
Well, Ward. Where does this leave us? Glad to think it’s one on our programs. I just reflect back on the SR-71 and U-2 programs that were developed prior to computers. What we could be doing now is beyond the limits of conventional thought. Stay on it. Good stuff.
Thank you for showing the images. People have a hard time believing things in videos that dont look how they eyes see things. Few people show the pictures and only show the videos
@Ward Carroll what do you say now to David Grusch claims ?
