Our tax dollars being transferred to a political crony of Harry Reid through a hidden black program... that is the sole reason why this money was spent

[McGruff]

This is money wasted that could have been used to give new Obamaphones to the lazy poor.

UFOs act as if they wish to avoid being seen -- while on the other hand, they do get seen, despite having technology that should put our most advanced stealth techniques to shame. These two mutually exclusive aspects are difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile.

Ducks sometimes see humans feeding them breadcrumbs at the park. Ducks often don't see the humans that blasted them out of the sky in order to eat them.

OMG - two different behaviors/motives can't possibly be exhibited by the same species! Humans must not exist.

[Flick Lives]

The main logical fallacy is that observed UFO behaviors, if accurately reported, seem to be irrational. On the one hand, UFOs act as if they wish to avoid being seen — while on the other hand, they do get seen, despite having technology that should put our most advanced stealth techniques to shame. These two mutually exclusive aspects are difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile.

Might be the extraterrestrial version of joyriding teenagers driving thru the countryside running over mailboxes.

From the article:

There logical conclusion from the (il)logical fallacy is that the UFO's are not what they pretend/seem to be.

Because history is riddled with examples of more advanced human civilizations coming into contact with less advanced human civilizations and wiping them out.

Because its real. Because even if there isn’t enough evidence for you, the first point is valid enough to ensure you at least craft some contingencies around the possibility or eventuality that Earth itself is visited by a more advanced civilization.

Lastly, because security IS ACTUALLY what we’ve chartered our government to worry about. Not abortion, drinking age, religion, education, land management, energy, health care - the common defense is actually enumerated.

In fact, its the second line of the Preamble to the Constitution.

Not trying to be hard here. I’m just saying that this is legitimate. Not everyone is evil all the time. The 2008 mess was a joint GOP-Democrat production.

There is a very, very big pile of evidence here from people who never, every asked to become a part of the discussion of UFO, ET’s et. al.

Why is the US government funding UFO research?
Why is the US government funding NASA? We went to the moon almost half a century ago and that should have been the end of it.
Instead we got the Space Shuttle program - Thirty years of nothing that cost $196 billion and 14 dead astronauts.

Q.
Why is the US government funding UFO research?
A. Coz UFO`s need the money.

[blackdog]

Controlling any potential message is more important than existence. The best way to do that is complete secrecy, elite grant supported scientists at point, and to create a wink and not back channel plausible deniability of what may or may not be. Flood it with disinformation and it will self sustain for a hundred years.

[Redwood71]

In all honesty, to keep the public under control. It’s the old chicken little story. If the government is expected to come up with an answer for all the sightings that have been reported, then they can say what they want and it satisfies about 95% of the public, and it is forgotten. No one panics and runs through the streets screaming invasion because uncle sugar already had an answer.

Course the answer is BS but that’s all the public wants. They don’t care if it is the truth. An example is a vast majority of the liberal manure they have printed over the last 100 years. They’re as happy as a pig in slop with the lies, even though they can figure out they are lies. They’re just too fat and sassy to care as long as it doesn’t bite them on the keyster.

UFO stuff is looney tunes.

[husky ed]

I think our .gov should fund ufo research. But it needs to be in the open. No more secret BS. Other countries are more informed than we are. The press here treats it like a joke. Which makes anyone coming forward seem like a loon.

Anyone else here remember an Air Force program called Project Blue Book? That was a program to study UFOs. That was back in the 60s or early 70s, I believe.

Point is, the government studying UFOs is nothing new.

[Oatka]

The government’s interest in this sort of sighting is . . ."

. . . that they want one of those.

[TianaHighrider]

Regardless of the UFO argument, or rather extraterrestrial beings question, I am convinced the money going into this government project is like all the other ‘projects’ we fund. A near total slush fund for politicians. Sure they might use a portion of it to perform certain related tasks. But a great deal of the money is certainly flowing into many particular greasy palms.

[Crucial]

If there is intelligent life out there among the billions of planets in the galaxy, wouldn’t that qualify as a national security concern?
