The three others were unidentified objects that Kirby said Monday the administration is still working to learn more about, particularly from recovered debris.

"We have not yet been able to definitively assess what these most recent objects are," said Kirby, who also noted that the U.S. does not know their origins.

"we cannot take the credit for our record advancements in certain scientific fields alone, we have been helped by people of other worlds."

“My mother was very concentrated. She concentrated on one thing and only one thing at a time,” he explained. “She passed that down too. She told us to find our one thing, concentrate on it with all you have and don’t feel the need to compare yourself to any other people. Just do the best you can with your passion. And I think her grandkids will learn from that.”

An experiment is described which attempts to replicate the results of Podkletnov et al. concerning an alleged detection of a gravity-like force above a spinning superconductor. The experiment is based on Podkletnov’s published descriptions plus personal communications but found no evidence of a gravity-like force to the limits of the apparatus sensitivity. A full description of the apparatus and operation is given.

In our case, values of the inexplicable weight changes, which are well reproducible from sample to sample, are about 0.01 wt. %.

Although the payoff of the discovery of a superconductor-mediated interaction between matter and gravity would be tremendous, only a few researchers are pursuing this goal. The main reason for this is the adherence to dogma concerning the impossibility of increasing the matter/electromagnetic coupling coefficients. This adherence is reinforced by reputable physicists pointing out that the theoretical constructs presented so far are based on questionable foundations. As with any forays into the unknown, one has to accept a few bumps along the way, including sometimes going back to the starting point in order to start again. The likelihood of scientific ridicule is extremely high in the search for laboratory-scale gravitational interactions.

In many cases, the number and quality of witnesses, the variety of roles they played in the encounters, and the equipment used to track and record the craft favor the latter hypothesis that these are indeed technologically advanced craft

How William Cooper envisioned a web entangling global capitalism, the government, and UFOs, and incubated the politics of conspiracy

In previous pronouncements, Hellyer has insisted that aliens know how to make us greener.

The aliens would, it seems, like to teach us better ways to live. Hellyer believes, though, that they are waiting for our consent. Moreover, they're scared that if they revealed themselves we'd throw a conniption.

The initial domino of a public ET message, or recovered bodies or ships, could initiate cascading events, including military actions, corporate resource mining and perhaps even geopolitical reorganizing. The history of imperialism and colonialism on Earth illustrates that not everyone benefits from colonization. No one can know for sure how engagement with extraterrestrials would go, though it’s better to consider cautionary tales from Earth’s own history sooner rather than later.

not a balloon. they do not hover.

"Because it was much smaller than the suspected Chinese spy balloon, there were fewer safety concerns about downing it over land, so the decision was made to shoot it down when it was possible. That happened over water.

The mystery around what exactly the flying object was lingered late into Friday night. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a statement saying it was “not a National Weather Service balloon.”

“They do not hover,” said NOAA spokesperson Scott Smullen."

On the contrary, Klein notes, religious traditions have always believed that we share both Earth and the larger universe with other intelligent beings: angels, demons, demigods, jinn and other kinds of nonhuman intelligences.

We’ve lost that mindset in the developed West as Klein’s worldview has become dominant, but in a course I teach for theology majors titled “Animals, Angels and Aliens: Beyond the Human in Christian Thought,” I try to help my students understand and appreciate a wider, more open-minded view of the universe, and how recognizing the existence of other powers and principalities might break down their largely myopic worldviews.
