...with two videos released by the DoD, yet no comments here. For shame SimHQ.

We could at least be analyzing that AN/ASQ-228 feed. If fake, did the NYT just get epically trolled by DoD?

It’s the NY Times. They fabricate stories all the time.....

The shadowy program — parts of it remain classified — began in 2007, and initially it was largely funded at the request of Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who was the Senate majority leader at the time and who has long had an interest in space phenomena. Most of the money went to an aerospace research company run by a billionaire entrepreneur and longtime friend of Mr. Reid’s, Robert Bigelow, who is currently working with NASA to produce expandable craft for humans to use in space.


Good to know the Senator knew someone positioned to get to the bottom of this UFO stuff. Whew. The search for people qualified to collate and sort UFO reports might have been exhausting otherwise.


The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.

Obviously in the absence of the videos, this appears to be a blatant story of government corruption and wasteful spending without oversight, but the NYT says the DoD released the video. Either the NYT has truly lost it, or the DoD has.

P.s. UFO =! Alien, so it not necessary to discuss solely in those terms.

Some additional, and perhaps better, reporting:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/head-of-pentagons-secret-ufo-office-sought-to-make-evidence-public/2017/12/16/90bcb7cc-e2b2-11e7-8679-a9728984779c_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_ufos-750pmk%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.43e4608889c0

This has some more detail on the crappier video posted on NYT with the story:
