It was one of those "HUH?" double-take moments for sure. Major media reporting, for the first time without a hint of ridicule or mockery, that a Navy pilot had sighted a "Tic Tac" shaped flying object that in his opinion "was not of this world."
Say what?
This is the sort of thing you used to have to look at the bottom of the magazine stand for, next to the True Crime section.
The question is not whether intelligent life exists outside our solar system, and this is being kind to humans in the broad use of the word "intelligent." Anyone familiar with the mathematics of probability knows that it does. Out of billions of planets which meet the conditions for water-based life to have evolved, some may have highly evolved into a species with capabilities and technology far beyond our comprehension.
This would be especially so of a species which has conquered the unfathomable challenges of interstellar travel, which is measured in the thousands or millions of years it would take a craft, moving at the speed of light, to reach its destination.
The question is: Why would a species with such mind-boggling capabilities even be bothering with us? A species still busy settling disputes by bashing each other's heads in? To a race capable of building a craft with the capabilities of the UFO described by Commander David Fravor, running circles around F-16s, stopping on a dime, then shooting up into deep space at light-like speeds, we would look like cavemen dragging clubs around, with our quaint, pathetic nuclear bombs and controlled explosion engines.
There is nothing we could teach them, except perhaps the depths of wanton cruelty, as innocent children get bombed around the globe every day. Any species concerned with the welfare of the universe might well exterminate us, before a species of such depravity evolved further, and reached a truly dangerous technological level.
Any aliens who have harnessed energy in such ways would have no need to "invade" us. They would be able to zap us out of existence in the blink of an eye, and take what they want.
So the bigger question becomes, why is the media reporting all this now? Credible UFO sightings have existed for decades, if not centuries, many of them probably true. So far the policy has been to not alarm populations by reporting these kinds of things which cannot be explained.
The external threat is the traditional friend of tyrants, who wish everyone to fall into line. This has been talked about and written about for many years, as a last resort for when the global agenda is stalled, and people are waking up to a revolutionary consciousness more quickly than it can be stomped out by soldier's boots.
An "alien invasion" in the service of a one world government, for the benefit of elites, doing away with the quarrelsome sovereignty of nation-states, is a better explanation than the existence of any advanced species which would bother with us. If the true aliens had anything akin to the human emotion of humor, they would find it most amusing that we were gearing up to oppose them with the entire the might of the world military-industrial complex, which to them would be the equivalent of slingshots and sticks.
It smells like the ultimate, final false flag. Will people buy it? There isn't much they haven't bought before.
