The topic of UFOs was on Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reids mind Thursday because his interview with KNPR came just before he said he was scheduled to talk with an important senator about setting up a way for members of the military to support exploring suspicious sightings without facing retribution.
Im going to have a call with a member of the Senate in an hour or two where we have people in the military who want to come and tell somebody what theyve seen, Reid said in the interview, declining to identify who that senator is. (Food for thought: Reids former deputy, Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill., is the ranking member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee.)
What we found in the past is that these pilots, when they see something strange like this, theyre prone not to report it for fear that the bosses will think somethings wrong with them, and they dont get the promotion, he said. So, many, many times they dont say a word to anybody about these strange things.
The facts are, they need a place to be able to report this, and thats what Im going to work on in a couple of hours, to make sure that somebody I thinks a powerful member in Congress, I want him to be able to sit down and talk to some of these pilots who have seen these things, Reid said. I can arrange this because of the contacts I have with members of the Congress.
We have hundreds and hundreds of people that have seen the same thing something in the sky, it moves a certain way. Reid said that also included sightings of 'vessels' at sea.

(3,032 posts)One last year resembled a hypersonic vehicle of some sort. My eyebrows shot up when I saw it. Both the Chinese and Russians are working on those to defeat US carrier groups.
With drone and swarm tests occurring as well, this is a bad time to keep anomalous air activity quiet.
