Navy Pilot Describes UFO Encounter

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

With all the surveillance enveloping Planet Earth and vicinity, there is no way visitors from space could zoom around completely undetected.

Besides, because of the vastness of time and space, the chances of another intelligent race capable of producing the technology necessary to get here existing concurrently with our own are infinitely small.

You don't think that a race capable of interstellar travel couldn't come up with a way to be undetectable to us?

Engage cloaking device!

Unless they're already here and have been for millennium

They have been. I know because I sometimes watch the history channel.

Saturn, Uranus and Neptune each have hexagon shaped clouds at their poles.

Weird, no?

It makes little obvious sense that 'extraterrestrials' (certainly any who are half as sophisticated as we assume) would make contact with humans when it is so safe and thorough to observe them from afar. 'They' wouldn't be seen if 'they' didn't intend to be. On the other hand, if 'they' wanted to make contact, it would be very simple (for the first time in human history) for 'them' to communicate with just about everyone all at once. As so few humans have seen 'them', the rest of us must remain incredulous. That there have been observations and incidents not explainable is hardly an explanation that there are 'extraterrestrials'. Only that there is the 'extraexplainable'.

I had not heard about this. Interesting story. Believable?

For most of his 18-year career as a U.S. Navy pilot, Cmdr. David Fravor said his mother-in-law used to ask him a question: Had he seen a UFO? For 15 years, the answer was no.

But one clear afternoon off the coast of California in 2004, he says, that changed.

Fravor, the commanding officer of a Navy squadron at the time, said he saw a flying object about the size of his plane that looked like a Tic Tac after a break in a routine training mission. The object moved rapidly and unlike any other thing he had ever seen in the air. He has not forgotten it since.

Fravor’s story emerged this week after the Pentagon publicly acknowledged for the first time the existence of a recent program dedicated to studying unidentified flying objects. The funding for what was known as the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program ran from 2007 to 2012. But officials familiar with it said some of its efforts have continued.

The fact that radar picked up the UFO and his jet's screen picked it up, at least lends some credence to it. It's better than the usual backwoods hick wearing his baseball cap claiming aliens picked him up, prodded his rear end and then let him go.
