Former DNI John Ratcliffe: I'm Not Saying UFOs Are Aliens, But They're Aliens

Yeah I still don't believe this.

But...

It sure isn't crazy to believe in extraterrestrial visitations any longer.

A former top intelligence official raised expectations on Friday for a forthcoming U.S. government disclosure on what it knows about UFOs.

...

"There are a lot more sightings than have been made public," Ratcliffe said. "Some of those have been declassified. And when we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain. Movements that are hard to replicate that we don't have the technology for. Or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom."

After saying that there have been sightings all around the world, Ratcliffe insisted that reports of "unidentified aerial phenomena" already in the public eye are only part of the bigger picture.

"When we talk about sightings, the other thing I will tell you is, it's not just a pilot or just a satellite, or some intelligence collection," Ratcliffe said. "Usually we have multiple sensors that are picking up these things, and ... some of these are unexplained phenomenon, and there is actually quite a few more than have been made public."

It's very weird that we have government officials essentially confirming that we've been visited by aliens -- or, at least, we have both eyewitness and radar reports of vehicles of a super-advanced nature that no one on earth could have built -- and the public is taking it with a huge yawn.

Remember when UFO believers would hypothesize that the government was covering up evidence of extraterrestrial contact because, if the public knew about it, we'd panic and go crazy?

Well, wrong on that, government. Apparently no one cares.

Supposedly there will be a large government disclosure about UFOs between now and June 1.

Like I said, I still don't believe this. I think it's going to turn out to just be some fluid-dynamics phenomenon caused in the air by high-speed jets or something. Like jet wings are causing little mobile whirlpools in the air that can then peel off from the wings and fly on their own before dissapating.

I'm sure they've looked into that kind of thing, though.

Still, my feeling is that aliens would not travel hundreds of thousands of light years just to dick around and buzz human pilots for shits and giggles.

Thought that is feeling more and more like a Crazy Conspiracy Theory. And I feel pressured to just accept "The Official Government Story" that these sightings are in fact of alien probes.

What are you guys thinking? Bullshit -- or not?
