US Naval pilots "We see UFO everyday for at least a couple of years"

[Galu]

James Burke put things in perspective in his 'Connections' TV series.

Did you know, Pete, that James Burke was part of the BBC team that covered the Apollo missions?

He's still going strong at 85, and I saw him on the telly last week talking about his experiences. He said NASA gave the BBC team full cooperation because it asked sensible questions of the astronauts such as "What is involved in a mid-course correction manoeuvre?" rather than the home-spun "What did you have for breakfast?"

Here's some vintage footage for all James Burke and Patrick Moore fans:

Such a great show, er, programme.

 

[Bonsai]

What do you want me to say Brinkman? That UFO’s are from vastly more intelligent alien civilizations?

We had this discussion months ago. Evolution, Anders Sandberg, the rise on intelligence, biological bottlenecks etc. remember?

One advanced intelligent alien civilization per galaxy is what the scientists currently compute.

As for simple. multicellular life, that’s probably everywhere.

I beg to differ. This is the only place that can of worms will ever be opened.

What about the worms in space?

Okay, thanks for sharing but I still would like to read what Bonsai has to say in his own words if you don’t mind.

The righteousness are walking among us

Yes, all cans originate here.

Yes, "Here am I sitting in my tin can." - that's what David Bowie said!

 

[Disco-Pete]

Great tune.

 

[Charles Darwin]

You mean it comes from CHINA?

Made from china in England and ultimately owned by a Finnish company famous for making scissors.

Let's make no bones about it, Charles, we are talking fine bone china!

The quality of bone china is determined by the total amount of bone ash included in the raw materials. High quality fine bone china contains at least 30% bone ash.

Finally we get a close-up.

Sheesh!

Bertrand Russell’s tea cup (actually teapot) springs to mind. A perfect metaphor for this discussion!

I see trouble brewing!

And Antares red glare, the tea pot steaming in air
Gave proof through the night, that the sky was still there

Russell's tea pot is my answer for.... a lot of things.

US defence officials have announced the launch of a task force to investigate reports

Pentagon to study UFO sightings in restricted US airspace - BBC News

 

[leonski66]

OF COURSE they will 'study' until everyone has forgotten...mostly.

But what will be released to the public?

Grudge started late '40s......BlueBook came along a few years later.

No real conclusions but lots of obsfucated data about sightings. And apparently

a BUNCH of photographic evidence was 'borrowed' and never returned or simply

Debunked.

I am hopeful of a result but not optimistic. Maybe the photos in the FIRST Book

I ever bought, 'Flying Saucers Have Landed'....will turn out to be real?

 

[Galu]

On the cover of the attached edition of the book, the title is qualified by the question, "Did a space ship really land in California?"

I don't expect the book supplied an answer to the question. Oh well...
