Sadly, this is unlikely to tell us anything. If they do prove anything they'll keep it secret from us "in the best interests of the public".

[authentic]

There are billions of mysteries occurring in the universe at every moment which NASA is quite incapable to know those.

Glad I found Shep, he’s one of the few news anchors I like

" It used to be that the burden of proof was on the individual who saw the UFO; prove it. Now the burden of proof has shifted to the military. Now they have to prove that these AREN'T extraterrestrial. " -Michio Kaku

Saw a drop shaped ufo made of glass like material sitting stationary in the clouds 10 years ago in the netherlands.
It freaked me out when it just warped away like a bullet .it had no lights or anything sticking out, just a smooth glass like drop about 50 feet diameter.
I first thought it was a balloon but it didn't move a inch from the strong wind

I remember back in the 80's when we lived in Santa Ana, Ca, it was New Years Eve Midnite. We were standing out in the back underneath the patio, we were listening to all the gun fire going off for the New Year. As I looked up I noticed a cluster of lights about 5 or 6 just way up there standing still and said something like "hey look at those lights" As we stared for about 30 seconds all of a sudden they all one by one just zoomed away in different directions at a very fast pace. We still talk about it now and then.

I grew up on flying saucer movies in the 40’s and 50’s. I loved them.

Thanks, NASA, for finally making it look like you're publicly doing something. The facade is all that matters.

[realzubidoo]

NASA probably been investigating these things for decades and possibly a part of their launch calculations.

My first sighting was in 1961 at a County Fair along with about 100 other people. We saw 2 lights hovering above the tree line. They did the flight configuration like a check mark. Zoom a bit and make an abrupt right angle and zip off one at a time. There was nothing in the newspaper the next day but I never forgot it. And of course, I've seen many since that evening throughout my life. But most all of them zip off at an incredible rate of speed and always silent.

New NASA team, with a 100k budget, well that's real commitment, it bearly covers salary of 1 person, good to see they're taking it seriously isn't it?

[Oh_well]

This morning while on my way to work I saw this black round object in the sky in the distance, it was round, had a light below it and moving north, it didn’t look like a plane, helicopter, balloon, or even a drone. I was a bit confused and curious to what it was, was my first UFO/UAP too.

[Jay-njmx]

I've swear I've seen it in Costa Rica jaco beach it's a light that just kept going over the ocean!!! It was going south looking west from Jaco.

I have seen 2 discs in our Vancouver Canada sky's.
It was still, no noise, then took off in less than a split second...
Its like it knew i could see it, very creepy feeling, i still have chills just sharing this.

PSA you can communicate with these beings just by simply focusing your thoughts and desire to see them at a certain point in the sky(especially at night). After a few good minutes of focusing and repeating your desire to see them you will get a sign. When they show up just for you it will truly shake your belief in this world and this backward civilization we are enslaved by.

[mjjumps]

It’s great that the NASA scientist said “I don’t know” to the extraterrestrial question rather than blindly dismissing it.

[Petequinn]

It would be great, if all along there was intelligent and technological life living in the oceans and sea

[kasonf]

He answered that last question perfectly, unlike Neil Degrasse, who thinks there’s no possible way around the distance issue.

They talked about near misses, but in older news from WW2 the pilots and crew talked about (Foo Fighters) Not the band!! This was another reference to UFOS, and they also said they seen them not just flying all around the outside, but they could also (fly/float, your choice) right down the middle of the inside of the plane. Crew members talked about these orbs of light just doing whatever they want inside and out, and there was nothing that anyone could do about it. How's that for creating a feeling of being very vulnerable and defenseless. It didn't stop them from performing their duties, especially since they thought that just maybe it was some new kind of a German weapon. When I hear about another sighting I have to wonder if it's a FOO FIGHTER type of UFO or something mechanized like and metallic. The TIC TAC has been described as having a heat signature even if it's a very low one. Not like that of a rocket or jet, but something else. Something almost biological only encased in a metal alloy of some kind. Until one lands and stays put long enough for a thorough examination, ..I guess we'll never know. Until that happens all we have is the same old questions as before.

That low one was a shoulder fire rocket
