U.S. Navy Drafts New Guidelines for Reporting UFOs


New guidelines for UFOs drafted by the U.S. Navy… I twice saw UFOs myself — and I really do mean unidentified — and, for that reason, I found this story interesting…

“The U.S. Navy is drafting new guidelines for pilots and other personnel to report encounters with ‘unidentified aircraft, a significant new step in creating a formal process to collect and analyze the unexplained sightings — and destigmatize them.

“The previously unreported move is in response to a series of sightings of unknown, highly advanced aircraft intruding on Navy strike groups and other sensitive military formations and facilities, the service says.

“‘There have been a number of reports of unauthorized and/or unidentified aircraft entering various military-controlled ranges and designated air space in recent years,’ the Navy told POLITICO.

New guidelines for UFOs may bring out more and better reports.
The Navy’s new guidelines for reporting UFOs matters because, with so much out there, other life is a certainty.

“‘For safety and security concerns, the Navy and the [U.S. Air Force] takes these reports very seriously and investigates each and every report.'”

Why the New Guidelines for UFOs Matter…

It’s personal and not just for me. As I wrote earlier, I saw two unidentified flying objects, but no one else reported them. That in spite of the fact that they flew straight over Manhattan.

Ridicule and other ways of diminishing honest reports means people keeping stories to themselves.

Better guidelines, respect for observers, leads to more and better reports.

The Budget Knew Before the “Emergency”

The Budget Knew Before the “Emergency”

RIOC anticipated a $7 million Steam Plant demolition for 2015. Nine years later, New York City used emergency authority to carry it out.

The demolition began on paper long before the City invoked emergency authority to carry it out. In RIOC’s fiscal 2013-14 budget, the Corporation set aside $7 million for fiscal 2015 for the complete demolition and cleanup of the Roosevelt Island Steam Plant. RIOC called that figure its worst-case scenario, meaning the State corporation might be left responsible for the entire cost.
