In 2001, Congressman Kucinich

Was that before or after his encounter with the UFO?

Kucinich isn't very credible.

Ah, the giggle factor. A conditioned response by years of psychological conditioning in the media and by government.

Then follow with a logical fallacy i.e. "guilt by association". So we get the presentation that:

Implied Premise: UFOs do not exist.

And then the logical fallacy based upon the background of the implied premise.

Anyone who has seen a UFO is a kook.
Kucinich has seen a UFO
Therefore Kucinich is a kook.
Corrolary: Using the fallacy of Guilt by Association, anything which Kucinich says is not credible.

All founded upon a false and fallacious chain of reasoning, founded upon a psychologically planted "giggle factor" to encourage people not to look, not to think, and to accept an opinion based not upon evidence, but upon sheer repetition, by an "authority", of an unsupported assertion.

While it is not my intent to get off onto a UFO debate the sheer volume of case reports, witness reports etc., all point to an indefinite percentage of UFO reports to be aircraft of some kind. By definition they are unidentified. Further, one can examine the other available reports and reasonably conclude that not all are of terrestrial origin. There too many reports from too many credible witnesses to conclude otherwise. I am not going to bother to go through the evidenciary chain, but the data is there, and mostly in the public domain.

Keep in mind that when the economy tanked it resulted in thousands of unsold vehicles and some closed dealerships.

Here in Delaware the Chrysler plant kept building the DODGE DURANGO even though the gas guzzlers were just sitting on dealer lots. (The company figured their profits on the cars built instead of cars sold-more of that uniquely American bookkeeping that helped sink us)

There were thousands of them stored at The Port Of Wilmington waiting to be shipped or trucked, a day that never came for most just before the plant was closed. (The good people at Chrysler were so much happier when they were building tanks for the war effort because, "WAR IS GOOD BUSINESS!")

Fives years ago there still people who refused to read the signs (you know, those "Bush is the greatest president in the history of the world" types) who drove Humvees and Durangos. I seldom see either on the roads now, and folks have parked them for cheaper cars to fuel and drive.

These vans could have been built at a time when the company was whistling past the financial cemetery and refusing to face the facts, or, they could be the result of several canceled fleet orders from FED EX, Happy Harry's, etc. If an order is canceled there's nothing to do but keep the vehicles. It does no good to sue a failing company because there's no money to be had and it damages future sales if a company regains its footing.

The basic white paint job may be because they were going to be painted UPS-deux deux brown when they were ordered.

Or, they're going to be used by the Sgt. Stedenkos and their jump out squads when the time comes to round up dissidents.....

Excellent!

Way to dismantle a frayed technique that's still favored by some.

UFO sightings number in the hundreds annually in the US and in the thousands worldwide, and many are captured with cameras and witnessed by unimpeachable sources.

The only people who use such a shabby technique now are those who with equal logic could say, "I've never personally seen a leopard seal so they exist only in the minds of kooks." In fact UFOs have been well documented and witnessed more (by a possible multimillion factor) than the giant toothy predator seals of the icey North.

The only place I have ever seen a Leopard Seal is on film, which can be faked, and at the San Diego Zoo. Of course you can't trust those Zoos - some of the staff likely belongs to PETA or some other Wildlife Organization like the Audubon Society, and you know how those kooks are. Which is of course as valid as the usual UFO scoffer argument regurgitating what they have been told they think. Ditto the Acolytes of that world famous second class Illusionist "The Less than Amazing Randi". Definitely not in the class of a David Copperfield, and not a scientist either - although he is treated as a fount of scientific wisdom by his flock of sheeple.

I don't often argue the UFO debate simply because, for me, the sheer volume of evidence and reports from good witnesses is overwhelming. I long ago concluded that the phenomena was valid and that we are likely being visited and observed. Probably by the extraterrestrial equivalent of Anthropologists and Ethnologists - studying the primitives.

One of pieces of data that convinced me that there was something to it was that military pilots are subject to prosecution, jail time, and draconian fines for making a UFO report public.

Why would the government inflict stern punishments upon the most credible of witnesses if there was no there, there? Wouldn't they, if there was nothing of substance, treat them as insane, pull their ticket to fly, and possibly institutionalize them? Normally, absent a crime, people who are crazy are not prosecuted for the fact of being crazy. So, why prosecute military pilots if what they are seeing is not there? That IS insane.

And thanks for the compliment.

I agree, it is a script, commonly used against people like Ron Paul, to "innoculate" the public against Bad Bad Thoughts.

But sometimes a nut really is a nut. Like Kucinich. He also swore he wouldn't vote for ObummerCare. But he did after one little plane ride on Air Force One.

And, unlike Paul, he has ranted and said stupid things for decades.

All? Indefinite?

Make up your mind.

And no one has ever doubted that some UFOs are unidentified aircraft. And it has been proven repeatedly that this is so. It doesn't help the argument you are trying to make at all.

Normally, absent a crime, people who are crazy are not prosecuted for the fact of being crazy. So, why prosecute military pilots if what they are seeing is not there? That IS insane.

Because those pilots are official members of the government and their statements carry greater weight.

Individual members of the military are not allowed to give press conferences, use their position to grandstand, or create public scandal or rumors.

So there is sound reason not to allow the military, a subordinate agency of the presidency, to alarm people or to create rumors or to grandstand.

And they have good cause to think that at least a few of their pilots are fruitbats as well. Therefore, no independent reporting or press conferences by military pilots. I think it is and should be cause for dismissal. No company or government agency allows their employees to appoint themselves as public spokesmen unilaterally or against the interests of the company/agency.

You're assembling negative proofs in a way to use them as a kind of positive evidentiary proof. This isn't possible, however you try to shave off the rough spots in your own mind.

Also, since this article was posted, I have received documentation that the vans are the property of DirectTV, and are being outfitted with new GWEN TOWER and Satellite accessing technologies. Doesn’t that make you feel better?? (How can the CIA and NSA collect data for the new “Data Collection Center” in Utah — do you think they would use vans with government license plates and CIA/NSA Collections on the side – or would they use a cover corporation such as DirectTV??).....

Nope, sure doesn't make ME feel better.

In 2001, Congressman Kucinich (above) introduced a bill talking about through the use of land-based, sea-based, or space-based systems using radiation, electromagnetic, psychotronic, sonic, laser, or other energies directed at targeted populations for the purpose of information war, mood management, or mind control of such populations.

Digital TV: Mind Control By the Sound of Silence

A. True Ott, PhD, ND | Educate Yourself.org 54,127 views
December 15, 2008
Editor’s Note

This is an extremely timely and important essay. It overviews a secret Pentagon psychotronics technology known as Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS) that has been fully operational since the early 1990s. I first found out about the use of this technology from Al Bielek in a 1992 video he made with Vladimir Terziski. This technology was used against battle-hardened Iraqi troops fortified in deep underground bunkers in Kuwait and Iraq in the first Gulf War in January of 1991.

The physical, emotional, and psychological effects of this technology were so severe that hundreds of thousands of Iraqi troops surrended en masse without firing even a single shot against US led coalition forces. The numbers reported in the news were staggering: 75,000 and then annother 125,000 (or more) Iraqi troops would come out of their deep desert bunkers waving white flags and falling to their knees before approaching US troops and literally kiss their captor’s boots or hands if given the opportunity.

Why would eight year veterans of Middle Eastern warfare (with Iran 1980-1988) behave this way? Simple. They were subjected to a technology that was so extreme and incomprehensible that they were suddenly reduced to the level of compliant children and felt grateful to still be alive in the wake of their mind-wrenching experience.

This technology is about to be used, albeit in a more subtle fashion, against American citizens in a highly classified and covert operation to mind control and manipulate the entire population into ‘compliance’ with our New World order overlords. The technology will utilize a combination of HAARP transmitters, GWEN towers, microwave cell phone towers, and the soon-to-be-mandatory High Definition Digital TV that will enter your home via: a) cable, b) satellite, c) HD TVs, or d) those oh-so-easy-to-obtain “digital converter boxes” that the government is so anxious to help you obtain and underwrite most of the cost on your behalf......"

BTW, I really hate to say this, and truly hope there is another explanation, but General Stubblebine, along with Knight of the British Empire, Gen. Schwarzkopf, are the two generals who have come to the aid of the "Guardian Elders" of the Restore America Plan, something that gives me great pause.

First things first.

These Google Images from Google Maps, how old do you think they are? I did a google map look up on my house, and it's from before I moved in, as there were 9 cars parked next door, and three at my house. So, we have no idea how old the images are. Google Maps are not a real time indicator of what's really there.

Second, how hard would it be to go to a place like this, and take photos, and get the truth? Probably not hard at all. Considering that there are 3 hills around it, one could get to the top, and get a good shot with a telescope, or a camera with a high powered zoom.

I'm not going to worry until they start rolling around in my neck of the woods. When it happens, that's when all bets are off.

Explained as a double-inversion. For instance, those military pilots you think so highly of said that the inversion caused radar to bounce off the cloud layer and pick up a boat going to Mount Vernon. This is the far more dangerous kind of UFO (an Unidentified Floating Object), all the more sinister because it doesn't fly at all.

The webpage link you provided does far more to debunk your "proof" than to support it.

Explained as a double-inversion.

Or maybe it was "Swamp Gas", eh?

You obviously didn't read the part that mentioned military jets being surrounded by these glowing objects, nor does your "inversion" BS explain the visual sightings, notably that which is present in the video I embedded.

And here's an excerpt from the Wiki page on the incident...

Events of July 26–27

At 8:15 p.m. on Saturday, July 26, 1952, a pilot and stewardess on a National Airlines flight into Washington observed some strange objects above their plane. Within minutes, both radar centers at National Airport, and the radar at Andrews AFB, were tracking more unknown objects. The objects were traveling between 90 and 100 miles per hour. A master sergeant at Andrews visually observed the objects; he later said that "these lights did not have the characteristics of shooting stars. There was [sic] no trails . . . they traveled faster than any shooting star I have ever seen" (Clark, 658).

Meanwhile, Albert M. Chop, the press spokesman for Project Blue Book, arrived at National Airport and refused several reporters' requests to photograph the radar screens. He then joined the radar center personnel (Ruppelt, 164). By this time (9:30 p.m.) the radar center was picking up unknown objects in every sector. At times the objects traveled slowly; at other times they reversed direction and moved across the radarscope at speeds calculated at 7,000 mph. At 11:30 p.m., two jet fighters from Newcastle AFB in Delaware arrived over Washington. Capt. John McHugo, the flight leader, was vectored towards the radar pips but saw nothing, despite repeated attempts (Peebles, 76). However, his wingman, Lt. William Patterson, did see four white "glows" and chased them. Suddenly, the "glows" turned and surrounded his fighter. Patterson asked the control tower at National Airport what he should do; according to Chop, the tower's answer was "stunned silence". The four objects then sped away from Patterson's jet and disappeared (Clark, 659).

After midnight on July 27, Major Dewey Fournet, Project Blue Book's liaison at the Pentagon, and a Lt. Holcomb, an Air Force radar specialist, arrived at the radar center at National Airport. During the night, Lt. Holcomb received a call from the Washington National Weather Station. They told him that a slight temperature inversion was present over the city, but Holcomb felt that the inversion was not "nearly strong enough to explain the 'good and solid' returns" on the radarscopes (Peebles, 76). Fournet relayed that all those present in the radar room were convinced that the targets were most likely caused by solid metallic objects. There had been weather targets on the scope too, he said, but this was a common occurrence and the controllers "were paying no attention to them." (Ruppelt, 166) Two more jets from Newcastle AFB were scrambled during the night. One pilot saw nothing unusual; the other pilot moved towards a white light which "vanished" when he closed in. A Capital Airlines flight leaving Washington spotted "odd lights" which remained visible for about twelve minutes (Clark, 660). As on July 20, the sightings and unknown radar returns ended at sunrise.

Thanks. I simply regard it as a public service. I have a distinct dislike of false logic and disinformation. I am also aware that such is often intentionally planted to mislead, and I want people to think for themselves and be able to spot these common fallacies when they run into them. That is part of the reason our society is such a mess - people accept false verities and then act upon them, and when you draw a conclusion on false information your conclusion will be false. I do not like to see disinformation go unchallenged, and it presents an opportunity to show examples of false reasoning.

My standard line is: "What is the evidence?"

If one sets aside preconceptions and lets the evidence tell the story, rather than have a fixed idea, then one is more likely to arrive at the truth. As in anything in this existence there is no guarantee, but the odds are a "bit" better.

However, too many people operate upon illogic and then act as though their pronouncements, arrived at by specious reasoning, are fundamental truths. I'm not a logic fetishist, as human intuition is able to bridge gaps that logic alone will not travel, however, it is a useful tool in ferreting out the truth of a matter.

The reasoning often seems to go (illogically):

A is true.

B is associated with A.

Therefore B is true.

Notice the absent proof.

And the reverse:

A is false.

B is associated with A.

Therefore B is false.

Same reasoning - an assumption made without any merit.

So the UFO scoffers arguments invariably set up as I outlined above:

An assumption, without proof, is made that all UFO reports are false, misdidentification, or the result of illusion.

This unproved assumption is then used as a litmus test to discard any information to the contrary. Thus good reports are labeled bad simply because the observer assumes that there is no possibility of it being true and therefore, by Appeal To Misleading Authority anything not in agreement with the assumption is labeled false without the bother of actually thinking.

This kind of reasoning is actually quite common. You run into a lot in Science, particularly in those fields that do not rely on mathematical proofs. I first got interested in the subject of false arguments because of my interest in Archaeology. There is a large and substantial body of evidence that is absolutely contrary to the accepted, in Academic circles, age of anatomically modern man, and the true antiquity of civilization on this planet. Any of this evidence contrary to the accepted view is routinely thrown out, not because of any real defect, but because it throws doubt upon the accepted Academic Fetish. Take for example the age of the Sphinx. The Sphinx and its enclosure show signs of extreme water erosion which could only result from thousands of years of heavy rainfall. Problem though, the Giza Plateau, the location of the Sphinx had it last extended period of wet weather prior to 8,000 B.C. - a time when the Giza Plateau had an arid desert climate with insufficient rainfall to account for the water erosion. Big BIG problem for academic archaeology since they place the construction of the Sphinx around 2500 B.C.. So, we have geologists, who rely upon mathematically provable principles of water erosion, and the climatological history of the region in conflict with the accepted age of the Sphinx. So, do the Academics, in accordance with proper Scientific Method, revise their thinking to accommodate the new data. Of course not. The text book says 2500 B.C. and so evidence be damned!

At 8:15 p.m. on Saturday, July 26, 1952, a pilot and stewardess on a National Airlines flight into Washington observed some strange objects above their plane. Within minutes, both radar centers at National Airport, and the radar at Andrews AFB, were tracking more unknown objects. The objects were traveling between 90 and 100 miles per hour.

But jet airliners fall out of the sky like a rock if they go as slow as 90-100mph.

Your "facts" refute themselves.

Or were the Little Gray Ones sneakily warping spacetime and nullifying the laws of physics?

I always find it amusing to think that races of intelligent superbeings would cross interstellar distances to come here, then tease us with UFO sightings while playing coy and never actually revealing themselves. Of course, they might have a rather odd sense of humor. Or they're just waiting for their buddies to show up so they can eat us all.

Are you so dense that you think wingless craft follow the same rules as jet airliners?

You also overlooked the part that estimated their speed at 7000 mph at times.

By this time (9:30 p.m.) the radar center was picking up unknown objects in every sector. At times the objects traveled slowly; at other times they reversed direction and moved across the radarscope at speeds calculated at 7,000 mph. At 11:30 p.m., two jet fighters from Newcastle AFB in Delaware arrived over Washington. Capt. John McHugo, the flight leader, was vectored towards the radar pips but saw nothing, despite repeated attempts (Peebles, 76). However, his wingman, Lt. William Patterson, did see four white "glows" and chased them. Suddenly, the "glows" turned and surrounded his fighter. Patterson asked the control tower at National Airport what he should do; according to Chop, the tower's answer was "stunned silence". The four objects then sped away from Patterson's jet and disappeared (Clark, 659).

You do realize that we have scientists going to foreign countries, who tag animals for research purposes right?

It could be no different than that.

They've been coming here as long as history goes back, perhaps longer.

Look up ancient Sumerian history, or Hindu Vedic legends...

Would you prefer they do something more akin to what you see in TV shows such as "V"?

Who's to say at least some of these "visitors" aren't just from another place, but from another time, where they may even be from OUR future. That'd be the best way to record history, actually going back and seeing it happen.

It's not the matter of "wanting to believe", it's the matter of not being a closed minded idiot and not ignoring the evidence just because some people say "it is impossible, "everyone KNOWS that there isn't any other intelligent life in the Universe"...

Of course, it could be that you can just make up any crazy crap and spew it on the interwebby thingie.

Or you might be crazy. Or an idiot. Or a scammer. Or just a gullible mark in a con game.

Not only that:

"Of course the Sun revolves around the earth."

"Rocks don't fall from the sky. It's impossible. Surely the result of delusion."

"If man were meant to fly God would have given him wings. It's impossible."

Gotta run or I'd give a few more examples.

The number of vans was extremely unusual, but I doubt it has anything to do with alien life. Unless of course the aliens HAVE taken over, and THAT is why they are killing off the human population with various means, using mind controlled politicians as their human facilitators.

Still doesn't explain why they'd need vans, unless it was to round up people for a trip to some destination they'll never return from.

You see, I can take what you say and look at the various possibilities, rather than dismissing it out of hand it with ridicule as is your modus operandi here.

One note: we didn't have jet-powered airliners here until 1955.

Whatever propulsion system UFOs use, I don't believe it's the push (jet) or pull (propeller) systems that we use.

Not to get into a religious discussion here, but there is MUCH more evidence of alien life than has ever existed of Jesus being God Himself.

From cave drawings, to news footage, reports from doctors, pilots, and various military personel, there IS something in the skies that is beyond "worldly" explanation.

Fact is, most of the New Testament is a forgery, where the TRUE disciples of Jesus were persecuted and murdered by Rome, with the assistance of Paul, the supposed "head" of the Christian Church (Roman Catholic Church).
