"A House panel will hold an open congressional hearing next Tuesday about UFOs for the first time in over 50 years.

It will focus on a Pentagon program that was established last year after the US intelligence community released a preliminary assessment on 144 reports of "unidentified aerial phenomena'' since 2004 -- and could explain only one."

The whole point about Unidentified Flying Objects is that they are, um, unidentified.

The world would be a dull place if we could explain everything we see.

Well, I feel better now that there will be a House hearing regarding UAP's. 😜

True but if the reports are correct and these unidentified objects are running rings around F18's over carrier groups, then we certainly need to attempt to understand what we are dealing with.

If you think that a house panel holding hearings will help understand what we are dealing with, then I've got some beachfront property in Kansas that I'd give you a really good price on!!   😆

Err... I said "attempt" to understand. Nowhere did I say they would be successful. Its part of a process, a process that doesn't just involve a "panel". Very little will come from this hearing, but it is significant that its the first of such hearings for 50 years. What will be somewhat more interesting is the closed classified hearing that follows it. 

As I said... Its about deciding if the alleged craft that have been seen that are alleged to be vastly outperforming our jets and alleged to be flying in a way that we cant explain by the normal laws of physics, is a valid interpretation, and if it is, attempting to determine what it represents. 

It's all good, I was just funnin' with ya!!

Coffee always assists me, regardless of mood or energy level. 😁

Whenever I think about Congress holding "hearings" only a couple of double Jack Daniels on-the-rocks will assist me. Depending on the subject of the "hearings" sometimes three, or even four, JD's are needed

Last time I drank that stuff, was a few Christmas's ago. I found myself sitting at my computer ordering all manner of kit, fancy joysticks, the lot. Then I toppled slowly sideways off my chair. My son and daughter thought it was hilarious, they had never seen me somewhat inebriated so they wanted to find out what it was like.

Lots of orders on Amazon cancelled the next day.

I can hold my liquor just fine.  I put it in a glass and hold it until it is gone. 😁

Should we send the Mars rover over to knock on the newly discovered doorway?
