For some people involved in the UFO subject this might not mean much. But for the UFO subject as a whole, this is a historic moment.

The first ever official UFO videos from the US government.

People have been dreaming of this for over 70 years. And now here we are.

Ignore all the drama for a moment and just focus on that. This is a moment for the history books.

Stamp of approval, its official.

Official what? All they're saying is that nothing in them is considered classified.

Those are compelling arguments. But to believe them, I have to also believe that the pilots didn't see what they said they saw with their own eyes and that the pilot and WSO can't read their own equipment and are misidentifying an aircraft near them or not recognize a FLIR artifact on their screens. If these groups of fighter pilots are so incompetent that they misidentify a normal, terrestrial aircraft as a UFO, they are going to shoot the shit out of each other in combat. Look, right in front of us, it is the enemy! Shut up jackass, you are my wingman, please don't shoot me down.

So as compelling as these videos are, I have more faith in the skill of our fighter pilots and the superior technology we put in their planes to make them the most lethal thing eith wings.

My money is on whatever the pilots said and observed. More than one saw things in the sky with their own eyes that did something no terrestrial made flying craft could accomplish.

I just watched the videos. The first one makes sense. The second one is terrible and im starting to think the guy is in denial.

I agree, Mick West's analysis of those videos is compelling. The strongest counter-argument I've come across is that the testimony of seasoned pilots like Fravor should be valued more than that of some debunker who's dealing with the info second hand. Personally, I don't buy that argument because it relies too much on faith than on hard data, so I'm wondering if anyone here can provide a counter-argument which shows that Mick West has misinterpreted the data and come to mistaken conclusions...?

We have real problems if our fighter pilots and their equipments can mistake a balloon moving with the jetstream as a UFO. We have real problems with our fighter pilots if they mistake FLIR artifacts as UFOs. We have real problems if multiple pilots observe something moving in ways that violate our understanding of physics.

Or we have something the pilots saw with their own eyes, and tracked and recorded with their multimillion dollar equipment that moves with no visible propulsion equipment, moves in ways no human made craft can move, with no visible exhaust or discharge of heat while moving from incredible speeds to a dead stop then accelerating off in a different direction at unbelievable speeds.

What difference does it make on which president released it? It’s still a huge progress for us. Please stop spreading your political bias in this sub.
