And that got him interested in the topic of UFOs.
Rumors at other Air Force bases about the topic are interesting.

Whatever the truth, it’s certainly interesting that this sort of thing is taken seriously by people at high levels of government. (And apparently in other governments.)

But kept hush hush, secret squirrel stuff.

If nothing else the military would like weapon system information.

Don’t they believe they get a planet and some brides?

My dad went to Brigham Young (though he’s a secular Jew, not a Mormon) and I actually have long been interested in the LDS.


It is true that there are some astro-theological elements to the LDS : they understand God to be a literal being of flesh and bone who inhabits another world in physical space. Asking whether that makes Mormons more open to the possibility of extraterrestrial contact might make for an interesting cultural research study.

This seems to go beyond that, and involves other Senators as well as servicemen.

Interesting. Yes it would make a good study to determine if Mormons have a higher rate of belief in UFOs, etc than non Mormons.

I’m not Mormon, but it certainly is an interesting religion. The esoteric and astro-theological aspects of LDS theology have been downplayed a bit in the last several decades but they’re still part of the faith and may affect community beliefs.

Certainly is a possibility that Earth and humans were created by an advanced and talented species living on anther planet.

“A 2009 Pentagon briefing summary of the program prepared by its director at the time asserted that “what was considered science fiction is now science fact,” and that the United States was incapable of defending itself against some of the technologies discovered. [Senator] Reid’s request for the special designation was denied.“

Makes as much sense as anything else in the last year...
