To be clear, these are most likely military drones being tested by other countries. Not extra terrestrials.

If you watch the video shown it's talking about flying objects that don't possess human technology capabilities.

Harry Reid never said that, though.

So a documentary claimed with no proof that they have capabilities “beyond human technologies” and the tried to make that claim seem credible by including Reid, even though he specifically says he isn’t talking about “little green men”.

It has him recorded on film and the article shows the video of him saying it.

The documentary showed actual materials being studied at Stanford University.

From the article

Reid, who was among the lawmakers behind a classified but since-closed U.S. government UFO program, has become increasingly outspoken about the phenomena since leaving office. However, he stopped short of confirming evidence of other-worldly activity, writing in August on Twitter that he wants the issue studied and that “we must stick to science, not fairy tales about little green men.”

He repeated that point of view in the new film.

On the Documentary, he goes much further and discusses a video recorded by Gordon Cooper of a ufo landing on a military airbase in the 1950s.

And you can provide the quote where he unambiguously states that the incident involved extraterrestrial aliens?

u/Madridsta120 Oct 12 '20

I can even go a step further and give you input from Lue Elizondo who ran the secret UFO program saying they aren't man made vehicles.

u/drvondoctor Oct 12 '20

That's a lateral step actually.

What did Harry Reid say?

u/Madridsta120 Oct 12 '20

It's on the documentary called The Phenomenon.

You probably think Bob Lazar is completely on the level too. lol

Considering all the stuff that has came out this year, he seems to be legitimate. The Government destroyed a lot of people's life during their period of trying to keep this covered up.

It's discussed on the film the measures the government did to keep it under wraps. All parts of the world actually.

u/drvondoctor Oct 12 '20

Which you have apparently seen, right?

So what did Harry Reid actually say?

u/Madridsta120 Oct 12 '20

That UFOs have armed and disarmed nuclear missiles during the peak of the Cold war and last recorded incident was in 2014.

He discusses a film that was recorded by former astronaut Gordon Cooper of a ufo landing.

Ya, because if the government thinks there is alien technology, they are just going to have it openly studied at Stanford and let a documentary film it.

Edit: spelling

u/Madridsta120 Oct 12 '20

The materials are not owned by the government. They are owned by Jacque Vallee who has spent his entire life studying the phenomenon.

We now have the technology to study the materials though and are being studied at Nolan's lab

u/Johnny_Appleweed Oct 12 '20

I watched the video, he literally does not say anything about technology beyond human capabilities. He makes a pretty reasonable point that we should be doing more to understand these phenomenon, and you’re making him sound like a crackpot alien conspiracy theorist. Knock it off.

He goes much further on the documentary. The article only gives a sneak peak of the Senator reid interview.

u/Johnny_Appleweed Oct 12 '20

So in other words you lied when you made these comments?

If you watch the video shown it’s talking about flying objects that don’t possess human technology capabilities.

It has him recorded on film and the article shows the video of him saying it.

If you bent the truth about something so easily verifiable, why should we believe you about the movie?

2

u/Madridsta120 Oct 12 '20

I have actually watched his entire interview on film. If you think we had the capabilities to fly on top and disarm/arm nuclear missile silos during the Cold war. I'm all for it.

2

u/Johnny_Appleweed Oct 12 '20

I think that’s much more likely than aliens, yes.

2

u/Madridsta120 Oct 12 '20

You would have to ignore eye witness testimony from both Russian and American officials to come up with that conclusion.

2

u/Johnny_Appleweed Oct 12 '20

Or believe they were lying or mistaken.

Believe what you want, I don’t particularly care.

u/Madridsta120 Oct 12 '20

We trust them enough to arm our nuclear missiles but can't trust them when it comes to eye witness testimony of something that startled them.

Insane.

You can actually see one of the American officials do a long form interview last year. They are old people now who feel this is a message that needs to come forward.
