So what about this Navy F-18-UFO encounter video? December 19, 2017 4:28 pm hank

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/16/us/politics/pentagon-program-ufo-harry-reid.html

https://www.npr.org/2017/12/19/571868263/secret-program-at-the-pentagon-spent-million-to-study-ufos

This has been popping up all over the net, but the authenticity of the video is really hard to pin down. I have no idea how to interpret it or evaluate its accuracy.

The few MSM references to it seem to concentrate on the DOD agency investigating UFO reports (reminiscent of the old Project Blue Book, no big deal), but very little reporting has surfaced that evaluates the visual evidence. It was in a teaser for the NBC Nightly News a few days ago, but when I watched they never broadcast it, they just finished up with their usual feel-good maimed vet, crips, retards and kitten rescue story. Could someone have “squashed” the story? Ooooo-eeee. The truth is out there…

This is how conspiracy theories get started. I can think of at least two here; either the government is trying to “cover up” the presence of Aliens Among Us, or the Trumpsters are trying to distract us from the Mueller investigations.

I’m having trouble following up on this, because most of the reputable news sites are either subscription or are so loaded down with advertising and clickbait my antique computer freezes up. Anybody else on top of this?

BTW, I never did upgrade my computer. I had to buy a new clutch for the Sentra, instead.
