The Pentagon has recently been releasing videos of UFOs and claiming that they are genuinely unexplained, and the mainstream media has become more open to talking about them. What do you think is going on? As far as I can figure, there are four possible explanations:

  • UFOs have always been fake and the government is just now getting in on faking these videos, perhaps to justify more military spending.
  • UFOs are some type of as-of-yet unexplained atmospheric phenomenon, like ball lightning.
  • Some military or company has developed new scientific theories and technology, in complete secrecy, capable of the kind of behavior seen in the videos.
  • Aliens are involved in some way.

                        I am not sure how this evidence or suggest that, and the project did not produce useful result.

                        It is interesting to me that the CIA do not seem to know how to conduct a study either. They have the resources, so it should not be so hard.

                            I can only really find paper which criticize the methods and complete lack of transparency and there seem to be a belief among academics and CIA official that these document have been altered after the study to create false positive result. No reproduction of this has been made either.

                            They also thought that the well known fraud Uri Geller was true which would suggest alteration.

                            More, I do not see how this would suggest an astral plane. This connection require an unreasonable leap to religion.

                            I am absolutely interested in reading these however, even though I must be skeptical about them.
