The US Navy Issues New Guidelines for Reporting UFOs
Source - The U.S. Navy is drafting new guidelines for pilots and other personnel to report encounters with “unidentified aircraft,” a significant new step in creating a formal process to collect and analyze the unexplained sightings — and destigmatize them.
The previously unreported move is in response to a series of sightings of unknown, highly advanced aircraft intruding on Navy strike groups and other sensitive military formations and facilities, the service says.
“There have been a number of reports of unauthorized and/or unidentified aircraft entering various military-controlled ranges and designated air space in recent years,” the Navy said in a statement in response to questions from POLITICO. “For safety and security concerns, the Navy and the [U.S. Air Force] takes these reports very seriously and investigates each and every report.
“As part of this effort,” it added, “the Navy is updating and formalizing the process by which reports of any such suspected incursions can be made to the cognizant authorities. A new message to the fleet that will detail the steps for reporting is in draft.”

To be clear, the Navy isn’t endorsing the idea that its sailors have encountered alien spacecraft. But it is acknowledging there have been enough strange aerial sightings by credible and highly trained military personnel that they need to be recorded in the official record and studied — rather than dismissed as some kooky phenomena from the realm of science-fiction.
Well alright then. This is a positive development. Are we all the way there yet to the government finally admitting what their Defense Department personnel have known since about World War II, that UFOs are real and have a keen interest in military operations? No. Not by a damned sight. But it’s a nice little baby step toward them coming clean on this issue that they’ve been hiding in plain sight for generations.
One of the smartest things I’ve ever heard on this phenomenon is that we’ve got more evidence that extraterrestrials have been to Earth than that Jesus has been to Earth. And yet way more people believe the latter than the former. (To be clear, I’m a believer in both.) And that in a few years, maybe decades, the UFO deniers will look as stupid as the Flat Earthers. Because the truth, sooner or later, will come out.
And here’s the thing about the UFO deniers. Their preferred method for any report of a sighting is to go after the eyewitnesses. To go all ad hominem on them as kooks or frauds or publicity whores or someone out to make a buck. While completely ignoring the fact that a big percentage of them are, in fact, our military personnel. Our best and brightest. Just to give a few examples:
–In WWII, crews flying bombing runs over Germany observed glowing spheres following them and assumed they were a new German superweapon. This was in published reports in places like the New York Times. Pilots called them “Foo Fighters,” which is where the band got its name.
–In 1976, when Iran was still friendly to the US, meaning before the revolution, a pair of their F4 jets scrambled to intercept a glowing object over one of their bases and engaged it. One of the jets lost power. The other actually tried to launch missiles but they wouldn’t fire. Our Air Force met with the pilots who have given numerous, candid interviews about what they encountered. The public explanation was that the object they saw was Jupiter.
–In 1980, at RAF Woodbridge outside Rendlesham Forest in England, military personnel from Britain and the US watched a triangular craft land in a field. They investigated in person. Saw it up close. Made note of the markings on the side. And touched it. Later there were three imprints in the ground that measured as highly radioactive. The explanation there was that they’d been looking at the lighthouse across the bay.
I could go on, but you get the point. There are hundreds of these reports from our most most experienced soldiers, sailors and airmen. And there’s no being blase’ about it. Because either they saw what they saw, or the very people we rely on most to keep us safe are delusional lunatics who can’t be trusted with their own eyes. It’s one or the other. And my money is on they’ve been witnessing real events for decades and the government has been covering it up.
At least until now. Hopefully the DoD means it and these military people can report this stuff in a way that is public, legitimate and respected. And finally, the truth will, in fact, be out there.
