Rather embarassing for Pentagon to have such a program...

That is, if this program is for investigating silly alien myths and such. Obviously, the military has to investigate unidentified flying objects in US airspace though.

Keep an open mind folks!

A lot of comments in this post are basing assumptions on our own level of civilization, like saying if there was aliens and they had come all this long way here they would just sit in the sky and disappear. Who says they would need that long? The universe is so old, it is easily possible that there are civilizations that had thousands, if not hundreds of thousand years more in advancement in technology and consciousness. Just imagine where we would be in 1000 years. And principles of physics are regularly being discovered as not the full truth we thought. It would be ignorant to believe we know it all and we can say these things with such certainty.

On another note, sadly there is much ridicule still present in the mind of people, like seen also in this thread. This is a subject that deserves true investigation and let me tell you that the ridicule was instigated by the CIA in the late 40s in a period where UFO mass sightings became a regular occurence in the USA. Because the government didn't know how to explain it they chose to ridicule it, because to ridiucle something is the BEST WAY to keep people from thinking and talking about something, because they won't take it serious anymore.

I mean, they truly succeeded, think about it. Most of you just laugh about without ever giving it true invesitgation and own tought. While the facts are that if you just dig a little bit, you quickly discover serious implications. Like high-ranking government officials that have been outspoken about the subject. If you don't trust regular folks and their UFO reports, would you rather trust a military general, or an astronaut? How bout a secretary of defense?

Do your digging, but here are some nuggets:

Astronauts:

So they're advanced enough to travel millions of lightyears to find us here, but they're not able to stay discreet while doing so?

There's a chance. Their technology would have taken a completely different route to space travel than ours. Our radar could work in a way that they couldn't have forseen. Like how we couldn't tell how their ship was being propelled through the sky, according to the article.

They say within 6 feet, a knife beats a gun. Despite the gun being considerably more advanced technology, the situation favours the bronze age weapon. Our planet and the close proximity could have played a factor here.

Oh I see...now they’re pulling out the UFO stories again to distract from all the crap going on up there.

Nah, I shouldn't say 99%. I should say 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999...%. Which mathematically is just 100%.

The question is not if they'd contact us, it's whether they would even find us because that's only possible by stumbling upon us at random chance. And that chance is literally astronomically small.

Nah, you should say 0%.

Because 100% would include not only a logical explanation for the phenomena...

Until then you re just one of those hair loss apes scratching their heads.

There is a logical explanation for everything. Not knowing what that explanation is doesn't change the fact that it's still logical and most likely has nothing to do with aliens.

Humans and science make decisions based on probability. The probability of aliens ever visiting earth is so insignificant that it can safely be ignored. Much like humans don't go out looking for winning lottery tickets in the middle of the street. And that's despite that chance being a thousand times higher than aliens visiting earth.

Definitely not saying aliens walk among us, but your argument is weak at best... The devices we use are useless at night... And even in day light, any video posted online will be disregarded as a montage or video editing if posted by a anonymous source like you and me... And then there's the question of the technology they have if they can travel to earth, if they do have that they will also have the amazing technology to blink a red and blue light like our airplanes do and flight all night long mimicking a normal airplane and no one will point their devices at it because planes on the sky at night isn't Facebook material... Expecting for them to navigate our skies like crazy and showing themselves with out any care or precaution and caught it on a phone camera is a insult to any intelligence life form.
