It was the summer of 1966. I had gone to bed, taking off my glasses and placing them on the nightstand. My bed was directly beneath the only window in my bedroom. As I laid in bed, I saw the biggest, brightest object in the sky peek through the curtains. As a 12-year-old boy who had been reading about UFOs for years, I couldn’t believe my very near-sighted eyes.
I didn’t even bother to put my glasses back on as I dashed downstairs. “Dad, dad! There’s a UFO outside! Right over the house! Let’s go!!”
We hustled outside, looked to the sky and saw…. the full moon. Yeah, I was THAT near-sighted.

At the time, the U.S. government was interested in UFOs. It formed Project Blue Book in 1952 to study UFO-related data, but also to determine if UFOs were a national security threat. After analyzing over 12,000 UFO reports it determined that UFOs posed no threat and that there was no evidence that UFOs were “extraterrestrial vehicles.”
Project Blue Book was terminated in 1969 and we’ve never learned the details of its analysis.
Fast forward to 2007. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid initiated the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program to study UFOs, picking up where Project Blue Book left off. The program was terminated in 2012. We learned of its existence in 2017 and there has been no disclosure of its results.
But UFOs have been in the news a lot recently. The existence of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force was confirmed in late 2017. The Senate Intelligence Committee authorized the Department of Defense to release videos of UFOs that were filmed by Navy pilots like this one:
The release of these videos has caused a major spike in the interest in UFOs (now referred to as UAPs) by both government officials and the public. So much so that the Pentagon has announced The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office to act as a clearinghouse to analyze UFO activity across all Federal agencies.
The formation of this office was triggered by videos of UFOs passing seamlessly between the air and water. These videos demonstrate UFO abilities that cannot be explained by our current level of scientific knowledge, including a UFO that “appeared to remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernable means of propulsion.”
This just isn’t tinfoil hat stuff anymore. President Obama himself is on record saying that UFOs are real. “When it comes to aliens, there are some things I just can’t tell you on air,” he told Reggie Watts during a 2021 appearance on The Late Show with James Corden. “But what is true is that there is footage and records of objects in the sky that we don’t know exactly what they are. How they move, their trajectory. They did not have an easily explainable pattern. So, I think that people still take that seriously and try to figure out what that is.”
This past May the Pentagon showed new UFO videos to Congress in the first open hearing on UFOs in over 50 years. The Pentagon is taking the potential threat of UFOs seriously. Scott Bray, the deputy director of Navy intelligence stated that “We have subject matter experts across government, including physics, optics, metallurgy, meteorology, just to name a few,” Bray said. “We’ve endeavored to bring an all-hands-on-deck approach to understand this phenomena.”
One video Bray showed Congress was of an orb that was shot through the window of an aircraft. Bray said there is still no explanation for what the orb is.
And it’s not just the U.S. that’s ramping up its UFO efforts. Canada will begin sharing its trove of UFO data with the U.S. The Canadian Natural Resources department and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission will be reaching out to their counterparts in the U.S. Similar to the U.S., the Canadian government has broken their longstanding silence on UFOs. In Canada’s case their interest is in protecting the countries nuclear facilities from possible harm.
What’s our reason?
So, what should we think about all this? I have some ideas for your consideration:
Mathematically, the principle of infinity tells us that there must be intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. Why couldn’t that life be visiting us now?
The stigma that used to be associated with reporting UFOs is decreasing. It used to be that military personnel were persecuted for reporting UFO sightings. Now the Pentagon is actively soliciting reports from its ranks. This will tend to increase the number of UFO reports.
Not to sound conspiratorial, but I truly believe that the government knows a whole lot more than it’s telling us. We’re slowly being spoon-fed more and more details about UFOs and their sightings. I think they’re softening us up for some extraordinary news. I’ll forecast that in the next 5-10 years the U.S. Government will come clean and tell the world a lot more about UFOs.
There are whispers that UFOs are actually secret U.S. military aircraft. The willingness of the Federal government to disclose some information about UFOs could be a way that our government is letting foreign adversaries know about a superior capability we have.
What do you think?

Consider the government, with their hush-hush attitude. Add to it the movies, which portray aliens as almost always creepy/ugly looking and hostile and fear prevails along with too many to count conspiracy theories. If these beings meant us harm, we would have been harmed by now !
Has recent history taught us nothing ? Alien lives matter !!!
