"Roger": “First off, I did see something that transited very quickly by our E-2 (Hawkeye), and I can honestly say I’ve never seen anything like it. The 'object' joined up with us briefly and all onboard had a view for a
2 "Roger": "matter of a few seconds. I can also say that the radio chatter and the scared tone in many voices we had that day was legitimate and we were mostly glad that there was not a hostile incident.”

Roger: “Upon arrival back to the Nimitz we were informed to stand by, as if doing a hot pump (running the motors to refuel) for about 20 minutes, which

6 Roger: "individually, then we were told 'it did not happen' & asked to sign NDAs. Then escorted back to our ready room to drop our gear where, for the first time, we were not allowed to discuss mission ops, safeties, or any post flight call-outs.”
1 I love #ufotwitter & I'm glad folks contacted their representatives when NDAA/Gillibrand/Gallego amendment was being debated. One day, when our numbers are large enough, we'll be able 2 have an impact on legislation. To think that it happened this time is a bit delusional, IMO.
2 Back in November on @MaxMoszkowicz's show with Mellon, Lue and Avi...
@LuAngeles asked: Does Mellon think grass roots political efforts (like Big Phone Home) are part of the public awareness of creating awareness of UAP?
3 Mellon: "I think all of that is helpful & I think it's important. I will say that I followed a particular course of action very carefully with Capitol Hill & it was primarily a discussion about national security. It wasn't a discussion about science & it wasn't a
1 We've had the skeptic & debunker tell us they already know what the Bi-Mg sample (Art's Parts) is all about. Then we have LMH & true scientists like Puthoff & Nolan telling us they don't know yet.
@GarryPNolan (GN): "There's another material that's interesting and I have some
2 GN: "pieces of it. It's bismuth, magnesium layered. Clearly, it's industrial and it's layered in a way that is at a few nanometers per layer. Some people claim that it might be a waveguide, a metamaterial waveguide. That's not something, when this was found, that we had the
3 GN: "ability to make. So the open question is: Was it manufactured? Or, as some people have claimed, maybe it's just a byproduct of standard smelting and somebody found it [at] the bottom of a smelting pot. So I don't know. But I've looked at the material, it is layered in

Hal Puthoff: "It turned out that we had a million-dollar whatever, special magnetometer that was being built, that had been built 2 detect quarks, which are sub-nuclear particles. Anyway, there’s this little
2 Hal: "quantum chip down inside this device, surrounded by electrical shielding, surrounded by magnetic shielding, surrounded by superconductor shielding. No way that anything from the outside could affect that. So I grabbed him (Ingo Swann) by the arm and took him over there
3 Hal: "and said, 'You know, I sort of have, a kind of a high-tech version of what you did in New York with those temperature measurement devices. I’d want you to see if you can affect this.' So, on command, [Ingo] puts signals on there that were absolutely, undoubtably effects
"At present, we estimate that the total archival collection stands at somewhere well north of 100,000 items, and that this is probably much too modest of a figure. We are professionally archiving the material as fast as we can, with significant help

3 "We look forward 2 the days when we can welcome researchers & students from around the world into these boxes, folders, & files. The truth may or may not be out there, as one popular American television series had it, but it is almost certainly in here, somewhere"
Lue: "I will tell you that, in my experience, there were some elements that were interfering with our capabilities to collect and analyze data and information. This kind of goes to the whole, I guess, the speculation of some sort
1 Back in the day (1999), I watched @WhitleyStrieber's "Confirmation" #ufo special on NBC & enjoyed it. Can't remember if I had any issues with it. Not long after, the NYT ran an opinion piece on the special written by Lawrence Krauss. Here it is.
2 It annoyed me, so I wrote 2 Krauss & asked him if he would debate Strieber on Jeff Rense's show. I also wrote Strieber. Krauss agreed but Whitley never got back 2 me, so Rense asked Stanton Friedman 2 do it. Stanton wiped the floor w/Krauss bc he was prepared & Krauss was not.
3 @OmniTalkRadio has a very poor copy of the debate. Years later, at a Project Awareness UFO conference in Pensacola, Florida, I offered to help out the conference organizers by picking up Whitley & his wife Anne at the airport & bringing them to the hotel. While driving, I
