    Nothing in the article or nothing in my statements has anything been about aliens. Do you make it a habit of bringing up irrelevant statements to make and win your own arguments?

      Gaetz said from the images he saw of the object, he was “not able to attach to any human capability, either from the United States or from any of our adversaries.”

      Gartz believes (or at least says he believes) they are alien.

      For someone putting so much stock into what he says on this topic…

      I’d have thought you were aware what he’s said on this topic

        I’m well aware of his claims. Just because you can’t attach it to any human capability doesn’t mean it’s extraterrestrial or isn’t human, just that it warrants further investigation. Would you feel any new technology that doesn’t lend to what people think is humanly possible is alien? If an adversary had technology that we weren’t aware of and defied our current expectations would that not be vital to understand?

        I try to keep an open mind, but the goal isn’t to connect the dots to our expectations of what things are. It’s to learn what they are. And, regardless of reason, the DOD has purposely hindered efforts to investigate these events. Thank you for at least engaging the article.
