Military Report: UFOs May Have Attempted Rendezvous With Giant Undersea Object

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ufo-undersea-object_us_5b0cfd34e4b0fdb2aa5637d3

<snip>

The 2004 incident involving the “Tic Tac” UFO, named because it was a fast-moving white object that resembled one of the mints, was first revealed late last year by The New York Times and The Washington Post.

KLAS, the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas, obtained a copy of a report “prepared by and for the military” in 2009 that details multiple interactions with anomalous aerial vehicles (AAVs) over two weeks in late 2004. The report also discussed the high speed and advanced cloaking capabilities that allowed the AAVs to evade observation and detection.

“The AAVs would descend ‘very rapidly’ from approximately 60,000 feet down to approximately 50 feet in a matter of seconds,” the report noted.

Pilots indicated there may have been something in the water as well. One pilot detailed a disturbance up to the size of a football field:
“The disturbance appeared to be 50 to 100 meters in diameter and close to round. It was the only area and type of whitewater activity that could be seen and reminded him of images of something rapidly submerging from the surface like a submarine or a ship sinking.”

I know people -- family, actually -- who have seen UFOs. One older relative, now deceased, flew daily flights between Roswell, NM and Edwards AFB shortly after the infamous Roswell incident and said he and his AF colleagues saw them nearly daily during that period. Other relatives, one my ex-husband, also had visual encounters.

You're free to be as skeptical as you want. I'm free to know better.

Last edited Fri Jun 1, 2018, 02:05 PM - Edit history (1)

I was not intoxicated in any way, I have never had any sign of mental illness, and I am not lying (you'll just have to take my word on those because I can't prove any of it).

I was 17 years old and walking to a friend's house in the neighborhood. It was a warm, clear night and there were many stars out, although this was in the middle of a mid-sized city so there was a fair amount of light pollution but you could still make out many stars.

I just happened to glance up at the sky and there it was. At first it looked like some of the stars were moving, and then as the object flew over me I could see it was a craft of some kind with electric lights on the bottom. The lights were what I initially thought were the moving stars.

It was shaped like a boomerang. The object flew directly over me at an altitude of I would guess no more than a thousand feet. It moved extremely fast and made absolutely no noise. When it moved, it didn't seem to fly in the way a human craft would do, it seemed to glide, like a giant paper airplane, effortlessly floating on the sky at a speed that should have broken the sound barrier but was completely and totally silent. No sonic boom at all. The whole encounter lasted maybe 6 or 7 seconds, and then the craft was gone.

This was in 1994, four years before I would get my first computer and internet access. A few years after I got on the internet, for shits and giggles I googled "Boomerang UFO." And I was amazed at all the responses that came up. Lots of people have reported seeing the exact type of craft I saw. There are even videos and photos of it. But the thing that really piqued my interest was that the way people describe it is exactly how I described it.

They are described as moving either very fast, almost gliding across the sky, (which I did see) or they are described as moving very slow and almost hovering in the sky (which I did not see). In all cases that I have ever read about them, everyone describes them as being completely silent, making no noise at all. I can vouch for that.

I've heard the theory that they are secret stealth aircraft operated by the U.S. military. All I can say to that is that I've seen (and heard) an F-22 at a airshow. Those things may be silent on radar, but they are loud as all hell up close. That was definitely not the case with the craft I saw. And this was in 1994, several years before the F-22 made its debut.

Google "Boomerang UFO" or check them out on youtube and believe what you want. But I know what I saw and I got a really good look at it. And I'll just say that the way it moved, the way it sounded (or didn't sound, in this case) and just its general look and feel, said only one thing to me, and that was that human beings did not build this craft.

You talked me into it.
Late summer, 1980.
Coming back home to small town in WA.
Something comes out of the clouds
Large and roundish,
silvery,
red lights, white lights.
Almost silent.
Hovers.
Treetop level.
It was NOT bigfoot.
Then,...
It was gone..

in So Az. About twilight, when the skies started to darken a bit, we both noticed three lights over the
mountains to our east. Three lights in a triangle, not moving. Then the lights moved together, without seeming to travel. One second they'd be
in a spot over the mountains, and the next second, they'd be many miles away, still in a triangular
formation. We stared at each other in awe. The movements continued (this was maybe thirty miles away)
and then the three lights split up. They continued the instant movements for a bit, then disappeared.
Both of us were dumbstruck, unable to find a 'human' explanation for what we had just witnessed.

And as I have already said, show me a B2 that can move that fast and make no sound, and I will accept it. Also, the craft I saw did not have the three protruding triangles in the rear of its middle, and neither do any of the pictures, videos, or artist renderings of it I have ever seen. It was a perfect boomerang, unlike the B2.

Also, the B2 is estimated to have a top speed of about 700MPH. The craft I saw looked like it was going much faster.

I've seen the HUD video. and I've worked with Navy pilots for over 30 years. These guys are not easily shaken, or given to histrionics. And they knew they would be teased by their fellow aviators. They DID see something weird. I don't know exactly what it was, and I they can't either. But I think it is remarkable, and we should pay attention.

39. John Podesta Stars in "Documentary" Suggesting Clinton Lost Because of Aliens
Fri Jun 1, 2018, 02:10 PM
Jun 2018

That really was Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign chairman and former White House Chief of Staff John Podesta on Ancient Aliens Friday night.

The long-running History Channel series is a haven for believers in the government/UFO conspiracy, alien abductions, and “The Reptilians.” (Season 8, Episode 5: “Could ancient myths about reptilian creatures provide evidence that they are more than just a pop-culture creation?”). The show has even pondered whether the moon is hollow and houses a secret alien base (Season 11, Episode 11).

This weekend Ancient Aliens kicked off its 13th season with a review of efforts to get the federal government to release its treasure trove of documents and data on what really happened at Roswell, Area 51, etc.
