Released Videos From The Pentagon's First Batch Of UFO Files

[Lance Payette]

Keen-eyed observers may have noticed that no one, including me, had anything whatsoever to say about the video Duncan posted. I found it about as exciting as watching my microwave cook a Banquet pot pie (fairly yummy if cooked properly, and still only $1 at Walmart!). If you think you saw something interesting, do let us know.

It would seem that the UFO research community found the release equally underwhelming. The Anomalist, a weirdness site I have visited daily for many years, linked to several reactions to the release in its entries for May 11 and May 12: https://www.anomalist.com/.

FWIW, an Arizona law firm where I was a partner used a court reporter who had also been used by NASA during the moon missions. He said there was both the public transmission and a private one. Technology was so primitive that they used court reporters to transcribe the private line. He said he heard astronaut Michael Collins have some sort of mental or emotional breakdown but never heard anything juicy in the UFO vein.
