NASA on UFOs: Not Nearly So Snarky Now. Here Are 3 Reasons Why – Mind Matters
Reflecting on Scientific American’s recent observation, Mind Matters says “thinking about UFOs is no longer presumptive evidence of membership in the lunatic fringe.” And the burgeoning discoveries of exoplanets, the increasing realization that extremophile life-forms really do exist, plus the down-to-earth possibility that (like the late 1950’s A-12s and SR-71s) human technology just possibly could be behind some of the advanced aerial antics, proves “The new outlook is probably long overdue.” Well, another traditional bastion of thought “remains mired in the 20th century,” according to Billy Cox, noting NPR Outflanked by Tucker Carlson. Carlson recently interviewed Garry Nolan, who had “paid attention to anomalous data,” generating huge “mainstream science” implications. And NPR trots out “experts” like Seth Shostak whose grasp of the UFO problem and the current Congressional-DoD contest on the matter requires the higher-level media attention that public radio has traditionally arrogated to itself. And some folks are buzzed by the overflights of giant mechanical birds, as Yes, Four of Those Weird Helicopters Just Flew over Boston. Maybe it’s just poetic that someone with the handle “Aegon Targaryen VI” captured the migration and seems to have said “They came from the north.” Maybe it’s not that “Winter is (eventually) coming,” as of a somewhat similarly unusual airshow the DoD Says Drone Seen Flying near Pentagon Was ‘Security Exercise’. It’s not surprising eyebrows were raised (perhaps sleepily considering the time of night), but the DoD “fessed up” to their responsibility for this operation over a “general no-fly zone.” (WM)
