Why Pilots Are Seeing UFOs

• In the summer of 1947, following a widely reported incident of a “flying saucer” over Mt. Rainier in Washington state, people began to believe that these unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were actually alien spacecraft prowling the Earth. Over the past 70 years, more than ten thousand similar reports have been made.

• In 2004, Navy fighter jet pilots operating from the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier reported seeing UFOs off the coast of San Diego. More recently, other military pilots flying off of the East Coast have made similar claims and brought the incidents to the attention of government leaders. Pilots reported both high-altitude radar contacts and something just below the ocean water. But it would be hasty to link these observations together.

• So the question is: “Are these aliens?” Or are these pilots seeing something with a more ordinary explanation. The pilots could have seen a real object that they couldn’t explain, or they could have experienced glitch in the electronics. Given the professionalism of these pilots, it is fairly certain that they did indeed see a UFO. But this is not evidence that the Earth is being visited by aliens. There are no artifacts, no clear photographs, no captured aliens, no alien bodies – nothing to prove it is anything extraterrestrial.

• During World War II, allied pilots reported “foo fighters,” which were thought to be a new weapon employed by the German Luftwaffe – but not extraterrestrials. These modern UFO accounts should certainly be investigated, but this writer would be very surprised if the reports turned out to be anything other than ordinary.

• Still, the writer believes that we should continue to investigate the possibility that these are alien UFOs. After all, if these objects are real and actually move in the ways that the pilots reported, it’s something that any military would want to know about. Being aware of credible threats is one of the military’s key responsibilities.

• [Editor’s Note]   This article’s writer’s reaction to the abundance of evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial-controlled UFOs is part mainstream rationalization and part cognitive dissonance. He recognizes only a small portion of the evidence – that which he can refute without looking like a complete fool. The writer completely ignores what pilots have seen with their own eyes, or the obvious advanced technology employed by these UFOs. He cherry picks whatever evidence he can isolate and debunk. He doesn’t even consider the thousands of other UFO sightings and the wealth of insider testimony and documentation that support the ET/UFO phenomenon. His mind simply cannot fathom the possibility that UFOs are real, that extraterrestrials are real, and that the US government has been covering it all up for the past 70 years. Also, he works for the Deep State-controlled media outlet, CNN, and he would like to keep his job. So he toes the Deep State line that there is nothing to see here. Do not believe your own eyes. Instead, believe a media and a government that has been ridiculing honest people and hiding the truth for decades.

For centuries, people have witnessed unexplained lights in the sky and thought that perhaps they might be ghosts or angels. However, it was in the summer of 1947 when a different explanation became popular. Following a widely reported incident over Mt. Rainier in Washington state, people began to believe that these unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are actually alien spacecraft prowling the Earth.

Over the past 70 years, more than ten thousand similar reports have been made. Most reports were eventually debunked as weather balloons, the planet Venus or even oddly shaped clouds. Some accounts simply arose from nothing more than the fevered imaginations of UFO enthusiasts. But not all reports could be dismissed so easily.

In 2004, Navy fighter jet pilots operating from the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier reported seeing UFOs off the coast of San Diego. And, more recently, other military pilots flying with the USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Atlantic made similar claims. The news of those accounts became public knowledge from a story in the New York Times and a new miniseries on the History Channel. These media and entertainment reports brought the incidents to the attention of government leaders.

The question that comes to mind is: “Are these aliens?” Sadly for anyone who is a fan of the television show “The X-Files,” it is simply far, far, more plausible that what these pilots were seeing is something with a more ordinary explanation, whether it be an instrumental glitch or some other unexplained artifact.

Given the professionalism of the pilots who reported the sightings, I am fairly certain that they did indeed see a UFO. The problem is that many people jump directly from the “unidentified” in “UFO” to “flying saucer.” And that’s just too large a jump to be reasonable. There is simply no credible evidence that the Earth is being visited by aliens. There are no artifacts, no clear photographs, no captured aliens, no alien bodies — nothing.
