Quote:The Defense Department secretly set up a program ten years ago to investigate unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, at the urging of then-Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, according to new reports.

Both The New York Times and the website Politico published stories Saturday revealing the existence of the Pentagon’s now-defunct Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

The New York Times said the UFO program began in 2007, while Politico reported in began in 2009.

According to the reports, Reid, a Nevada Democrat, helped steer money under the program to a donor’s aerospace research company.

Yes

I think an objective understanding of the size of the universe says that there are great opportunties for other life to flourish.

Life? I thought that was already proven to be true. Intelligent life? Nah!

There is a lot of smoke regarding UFOs, but no concrete evidence. There are some compelling cases with military and airline pilots, radar, etc., though.

ET, phone home....

Probably more correct than incorrect along those lines....

How both exciting and anti-climatic to find the first evidence of alien life is a............ bacterial galactic goo.

yet, based on our knowledge base within time, it's obvious to surmise 1....yet, also plausible to end with 0 within the construct of contact.....

IMO, it's all a crock of wtfe......it only means something in 'elegant' terms.....

but that's just my take.....

the residual effect of searching is where the real value is obtained......

thinking about the real or the abstract is something I can never flay.....it's unstoppable over our version of time....

I don't deny that the're may be life on other planets. I seriously doubt however that they have developed anything closely resembling the human race.

I understand why religious people would have some serious concerns with life outside of Earth, but he didn't say that is what was guiding his comment.

I thought it was Putin for this as well?

millions of galaxies, billions of stars, trillions of potential planets.

I have no doubts life of some sort exists out there. I have little doubt there is life more advanced than just single celled organisms, though I don't necessarily mean intelligent life.

I am open to the possibility of life outside our universe...but...at this time I see no evidence of it...so..as of now? We are alone.

UFO's? this ain't about UFO's. It's about starting a sham government program that allows Reid to be able to shovel a significant amount of TAXPAYER money every year to one of his doners. Must be nice to be a Democrat to be immune from any kind of criminal prosecution. It's a great gig if you can get it.
