So, the elephant sitting on Earth's celestial sofa could no longer be hidden under government regulations, official denials and threats of fines and imprisonment for military personnel who dared reveal their personnel stories of strange encounters?
The barn door has been unlocked and forced open at least a crack, just wide enough for the horsepower of military UFO videos and official eyewitness accounts of the extraordinary to pass through. The uncounted chickens have hatched.
As the Pentagon appears to bring UFO evidence into the mainstream to whatever extent, we presume that the work of Robert Hastings, Robert Salas and others who strive to document considerable UFO interest in nuclear missile bases will also find their evidence elevated and appreciated by the mainstream press? Hmm.
The preparation of new guidelines for pilots and other Navy personnel to report encounters with unidentified aircraft is worthwhile, but far more interesting is the now inescapable fact that "unidentified" is no longer a word to be hidden from public scrutiny forever. No, the Navy isn't claiming alien spacecraft are behind their decision, but this branch of service can no longer laugh off the term UFO, either. To confront sort of kind of publicly at last the long observable fact that unknown objects, involved apparently with extreme technology and intelligence of which we can only dream, continue to invade our skies is an amazing step forward. Will the customary sequence of official denial and/or ridicule exit forever, thus encouraging more reports of an airborne enigma?
Thanks in large part to government policy for decades, UFO witnesses' lives have been ruined, military relationships destroyed and the very mention of UFOs was, we guess you could say, politically incorrect.
Now lacking the old taboo, will science and military investigators link up to share and digest UFO information for real?
Public bonus: Frequent flyers or mere one-timers may now contemplate with screaming trepidation the visual/radar evidence demonstrating that there really ARE strange objects in the skies, potentially endangering passenger flights all over the world with near-collisions and blinding lights, adhering to no particular schedule.
Tic-Tac, tick-tock, what will tomorrow bring?
