You actually stated that there are now multiple, credible military personnel who are witness to UAPs. How many do you need? Many of the old debunked sightings should be re-examined. The governments had active debunking programs to shut down the conversation. Witnesses were ridiculed, careers were ruined. I don't think they're alien. However, whatever they are, they've been there for as long as humans have been able to record them. Many sightings bear similarities to tales in folklore. It is a fascinating piece of human experience.

"Science" means following evidence wherever it takes you, without letting any pre-conceived notions sway you from that path. That does NOT in any way preclude the possibility that these are actual ET encounters/signals. I'm always amused to see scientifically-minded people stating absolutes about the universe in so far as what is "possible" or "likely." We can barely fart a few astronauts off the surface of this speck of dust that we call Earth. What you're doing is akin to a microbe making grand assumptions about the function and inner workings of a skyscraper. No one is in any position to do that, and it's very possible that such will always be the case.

F/A-18s are 80s-era birds. Many of them have upgraded the sensor packages, but those upgrades tend to be to other parts of the EV spectrum rather than the visual. Pilots have eyes that can look around. They need sensors to detect things that they can't see. That's why the gun cams (which took those videos) are likely still 80s-era equipment (and are thus grainy rather than HD).

18 years ago, on a clear winter night in central Europe, I saw a round bright object zig zaging across the sky. It was silent and originally I thought it was a satellite, as it was moving at that speed (or maybe a little faster) and it wasn't zig zaging at first. Eventually, the object returned to where I first spotted it and suddenly a two other such objects joined it. They were indistinguishable from stars at first, because they were motionless before joining. I had to run across my apartment to see where they headed and I could only see two if the objects flying away. I really thought those were satellites, they even looked like it (I had a small binoculars, it looked like round shape that was casting crescent shadow).

I saw something very similar in the skies above Leeds, West Yorkshire a few years ago. I have a workshop next to an ancient woodland in a village on the outskirts of Leeds. There is very little light pollution. I was outside watching the stars when I noticed something moving in a unique way. It zig-zagged, went from slow to fast, fast to slow, in no obvious pattern. I watched it in amazement for around quarter of an hour and then locked up my workshop and headed for the bus home. All the way to the bus stop I was keeping my eyes on the craft, and I was surprised it was bright enough to be seen when I was under streetlights. When I got to the bus stop I watched it for a further 10 minutes or so, at which point a satellite came from east to west, and the craft zoomed over to the satellite as if inspecting it and then promptly zoomed away again. It seemed playful! At that point, a man I know from the village came to the bus stop as I was looking up. I said to him "I think we've got company!" and he never said another word to me until the bus came, as if he was dumbfounded. When I got off the bus, I phoned my then partner in Harrogate and watched the craft for around 15 minutes as I walked along the nature trail alongside a local beck and old railway line. It continued to move in strange ways, at great speeds at times, and I was actually audibly laughing in delight. I lost sight of it for a while as the light pollution of where I live made it difficult to see but as I walked through the park, I could see it was still there. I stood and watched it for a further 10 minutes when I got to my garden, at which point I'd been watching it for 45 minutes or so. Amazed, thrilled and happy, I went in my house.

It was like they sort of dematerialized in the middle of their display, without any real pause in their action. It only lasted maybe 45 seconds tops, but I’ve not seen anything like it to this day.

I once seen a light brighter than Venus but dimmer then a streetlight moving across the sky in 2012 ( before drones were commercially developed) in Michigan’s upper peninsula. As I was watching my mind didn’t immediately go to UFO. In fact, I first thought it was a helicopter, but it didn’t make any sound, then I thought commercial airliner and I just hadn’t heard the sound wave reach me yet. At this point it was only half a mile away from me, when it stopped in mid air. Then it started moving forward from the point in stopped. Then it turned directly away from me, and then it’s lights shut off and came back on again, twice. Even at this point I still didn’t think UFO, I was still thinking it was some kind of weird airplane until it took off in a zigzag path, but at a unimaginably speed. I’ve seen jets fly over my home as a kid and this thing seemed thousands of times faster. After the zigzag maneuver it stopped at a point in the sky and just disappeared. I’m a pretty skeptical person and after I seen it do the zigzag movement I knew I’d seen something beyond the technology of man. I felt overwhelmed with joy, fear astonishment and anger. I was angry because I’d seen this thing in the sky and no one else was around to see it but me. Still bothers me to this day.

Without wishing to rain on the parade, my guess is that the uptick in UAP sightings and increased government “openness” is a psy-op but without going down that rabbit hole, let’s look at it from another angle. How likely is it really to be aliens or even alien probes? The rare earth hypothesis would suggest that planets capable of hosting intelligent life are extremely rare within the universe. Furthermore it took around 3.5 billion years from life first appearing to get to multicellular organisms, with the likelihood of there being several great filters along this journey. Further to this the conditions that allow advanced intelligence to evolve are highly unusual. In our case a series of very lucky flukes. Of the 5,000,000,000 species which have ever lived on Earth only one has made civilisations. The occurrence of technological civilisations may be far less than one per galaxy, which explains the Fermi paradox and makes it highly unlikely that we have been, are being or ever will be visited by aliens.

I’ve seen a number of strange flying objects over the decades. The sightings include things from a guided missile that was hugging the mountainous terrain to fuzzy lights high in the sky. But two of the sightings were so clear there was no doubt they were strange looking flying objects. However there still was no evidence they were extraterrestrial in origin.

I had one in 2018, but I’ve always second-guessed it like every strange, unexplained thing I’ve encountered. I was looking up at the sky and there was a moving object. It was moving strangely and almost looked like a star but it was early dusk. Then it suddenly shot off in a perfectly straight line disappearing almost instantly. Could have been something normal to someone, but it was strange to me. I imagine other people who saw it may have decided it was alien craft.

I'm glad you're covering this topic without ridicule. The tone around UAPs has been changing this last decade due to a growing mountain of evidence. My favourite theory isn't so much alien visitors as it is alien AI. Maybe a bunch of technologically advanced craft sent out to star systems that are likely to hold life to do research on. Or have the ability to seek out and study planets harboring life automatically, long after the civilizations that built them have long since died.

@@annaclarafenyo8185 I used to be just as skeptical, but tbh it's pretty weird we have a consistent yet small percentage of UAPs we can't explain even considering temperature inversions, illusions, etc. a consistent small percent could not be be adequately explained by the most advanced military scientists. we have high ranking navy officials coming out and saying they witnessed these things and documentation of multiple sensors picking up anomalous activity and yet can't always explain it. Even project blue book ended with many sightings unidentified. We don't know what it is yes, but we haven't explained it all either.

I too like the AI hypothesis although, like Jacques Vallee, I doubt the motive is biological research, because it has gone on for so long. It might be cultural research, documenting the evolution of a species from unconscious animal to god-like being, or it might even be an attempt to influence human cultural evolution, as Vallee has suggested. Vallee also doubts these things are extraterrestrial in nature. He thinks rather that they are hyperdimensional.

It’s crazy to think of how far we’ve come with space travel for the amount of time we’ve been on this earth, to think that other solar systems couldn’t have far more advanced civilizations since they are older than us. And being older, they have figured out how to make it to here. I’m not a UFO fanatic but I’m interested in the topic and would love to see what you can find out and share with us.

I myself, in my 40s have only ever seen something unexplained in the sky once. Last October I was doing astronomy in my back garden when something flew overhead and went from horizon to horizon in around 15 seconds (Didcot, Oxfordshire) The shape of the craft was outlined by little lights and was completely silent, strange considering it was at a low altitude, like something from X-files or something. I watched in disbelief. Anyway, maybe it was some kind of aircraft, I can't say.

Happy to see more scientific channels discussing this topic without the usual stigma and ridicule. Whatever these things are, the implications are massive.

I don't know why but every mystery around us makes me revisit the double slit experiment. This experiment is like nature's way of dictating what we are allowed to observe and what we aren't.

Another note - why is it that the individual experiences of many thousands (millions?) of people who have witnessed or interacted with craft or beings is always dismissed? I saw a craft doing impossible manouvres as a child, while with my family who all saw it. Even today with drones and such, the movements are still "impossible" in our physics, and I've heard many similar reports from disparate sources going back decades. This is such a common experience, yet because not recorded or repeatable, and we're not USAF pilots, is not accepted as any "real" evidence. We know it was real, why would that not be seen as evidence? Qualitative rather than quantitative, accepted in other fields of science these days.

It only takes one of the countless highly credible UFO incidents to be real for the ET Hypothesis to be a likely explanation. It’s for this reason that I lean towards covert ET visitation being the reality behind this phenomenon. Covert observation is also very probable given that we have nothing of value to offer them and would be more of a liability than an asset to them in an open contact scenario. The only value we can provide is that of research subjects and nature documentary level entertainment.

Off the coast of Southern California in 1977 there was something visible hovering about 10 meters above the ocean surface. We were probably +50 people who were staring at what looked like a glistening silver disk. We were all looking at this thing and at each other to see if someone figured out what it was. Then after hovering for about 2 minutes it shot straight up into the sky disappearing in ~3 seconds. Sure do wish I had an iPhone back then. Still have no idea what it was.

Excellent video, Alex! I'm not sure what to think these days. As a teen driving home at night back in the 70s, I saw "something." It flew over me at about a 45° angle from front right to back left, maybe a few hundred feet above me. There were twin sets of three red strobe lights blinking from inward to outward on the underside where wings or other structures would have been. The local power company would fly over the large transmission lines near by at all times of day and night doing inspections. I stopped the car, opened my window expecting to hear a slow, noisy helicopter fly over me. _Silence._ On a warm, clear, quiet night I heard _nothing_ as it flew over and past me as far as I could watch it. Not being a very brave girl, it scared me sh*tless. I still feel a bit unnerved thinking about the incident here in 2023. To be honest, it wouldn't bother me if we were alone. But maybe that's just the scared 17 yo who wishes she'd _seen nothing_ that night.

Thanks for sharing your story! I also saw a UFO/UAP a couple years ago here in Australia. I saw it on a clear sunny day high up in the sky. It was a white triangle with a keyhole shape cutout in the back. Now I think about it, this one didn’t have any sound either. It was going pretty fast ( I assume since it looked really high up ). I dunno it’s always cool to remember these experiences when people in the media are having these conversations, about whether they are real or not, because we’ll always have these first-hand experiences to look back on. The thing is, I’ll still probably never know whether it was aliens or the government who were controlling it.

So wierd that that ship that loos like a 5 point star looks very much like a ufo I saw when I was 12 living in Florida, and witnessed by my mother as well. I saw the same type about 20 years later in nw Connecticut near the Hudson river. That one was also witnessed by around 50 people, and was mentioned on the news the next day. Strange indeed. I have to wonder..

I'm just glad that someone produced a video that wasn't here to act like it had answers, having none and being a letdown. Nor was it a video about conspiracy nonsense. Therefore, I would certainly watch a followup if you produced it. 👍

Thank you for reporting this. Amazing and scary ⭐

I liked the content. More and varied info on UAP'es would be well received.

Can you imagine a group of children seeing a bright white long object rounded at both ends about 45 - 50 ft long making no sound at all, sitting perfectly still in the sky, hovering near the back of a tall block of apartments, then slowly moving away from the building, when it moved away from the building the children knew that it was aware they had seen it, it continued moving away from the building over a playing field then came to a sudden stop, it then moved up at a right angle slowly then shot up at that angle very fast & it was gone - I’ve no need to imagine that because I was one of those children. I still have no idea what it was & this took place when I was about 8 or 9 years old and I turn 57 in August, I have never heard anyone describe what I saw until I heard Commander David Fravor describing what they saw & I knew that was one of if not the same object I saw. I do understand if people don’t believe that such things exist because before I saw that I used to laugh at the idea, but I know what I saw & humanity does not posses such a vehicle or object that can move like that, so what is it?

Sometimes, witnesses has seen smaller ufos (looking like little light globes) going inside that shape, just before the 'cigar' went into space. That is why we believe they are mother ships of some kind whom are able to go even faster in the void of space. it is like a navy carrier who can more securely or comfortably transport these small ufos from one point in space to another.

When you see one of these things folding spacetime, you'll know they're not from around here. And when you investigate and find others have seen an exact match or move in the same way going back to 1970, you'll also know you weren't seeing things

It wasn't "Southern Carolina." The Nimitz and Princeton were off the coast of San Diego and Coronado Island.

In Fact, they encountered similar objects in the Persin Guld two weeks later.

And it's absolutely fascinating.
