Let’s be honest — we all want to believe, but every s-f reader going back to the original foo-fighter days knows the real answer to the last several years is that the Aliens have been testing us… and we’ve failed. Horribly. The last few months in particular are evidence that we’ve been abandoned to work it out on our own. One more planet where an ‘intelligent’ species evolved to the pointed where it could destroy itself before it could learn to cooperate…

Also, Harry Reid is once again tweaking the skittery conspiracy theorists who flock to the Southwest to indulge their phantasies about Vast Gubmint Plots, and good for him getting the NYTimes to bite, too!

“No Longer in Shadows, Pentagon’s U.F.O. Unit Will Make Some Findings Public”…

Despite Pentagon statements that it disbanded a once-covert program to investigate unidentified flying objects, the effort remains underway — renamed and tucked inside the Office of Naval Intelligence, where officials continue to study mystifying encounters between military pilots and unidentified aerial vehicles.

Pentagon officials will not discuss the program, which is not classified but deals with classified matters. Yet it appeared last month in a Senate committee report outlining spending on the nation’s intelligence agencies for the coming year. The report said the program, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force, was “to standardize collection and reporting” on sightings of unexplained aerial vehicles, and was to report at least some of its findings to the public within 180 days after passage of the intelligence authorization act.

While retired officials involved with the effort — including Harry Reid, the former Senate majority leader — hope the program will seek evidence of vehicles from other worlds, its main focus is on discovering whether another nation, especially any potential adversary, is using breakout aviation technology that could threaten the United States…

The Pentagon program’s previous director, Luis Elizondo, a former military intelligence official who resigned in October 2017 after 10 years with the program, confirmed that the new task force evolved from the advanced aerospace program…

Mr. Elizondo is among a small group of former government officials and scientists with security clearances who, without presenting physical proof, say they are convinced that objects of undetermined origin have crashed on earth with materials retrieved for study.

For more than a decade, the Pentagon program has been conducting classified briefings for congressional committees, aerospace company executives and other government officials, according to interviews with program participants and unclassified briefing documents.

In some cases, earthly explanations have been found for previously unexplained incidents. Even lacking a plausible terrestrial explanation does not make an extraterrestrial one the most likely, astrophysicists say…

Public fascination with the topic of U.F.O.s has drawn in President Trump, who told his son Donald Trump Jr. in a June interview that he knew “very interesting” things about Roswell — a city in New Mexico that is central to speculation about the existence of U.F.O.s. The president demurred when asked if he would declassify any information on Roswell. “I’ll have to think about that one,” he said.

Either way, Mr. Reid said, more should be made public to clarify what is known and what is not. “It is extremely important that information about the discovery of physical materials or retrieved craft come out,” he said.

[*Sad trombone coda*]

Correction: July 24, 2020
An earlier version of this article inaccurately rendered remarks attributed to Harry Reid, the retired Senate majority leader from Nevada. Mr. Reid said he believed that crashes of objects of unknown origin may have occurred and that retrieved materials should be studied; he did not say that crashes had occurred and that retrieved materials had been studied secretly for decades…

It’s standard counterintelligence work, as done by every country with the technological capability to do so. But whenever there’s a particularly bad news climate, the urge to find an outside savior (or, in the case of the Oval Office Occupant and his Media Village Idiot enablers, to shout Look! Over There!) overwhelms our mutual common sense, such as it is…

    I saw John’s tweet about loving Mehdi Hasan and wanting him to get his own show. He has TWO shows! But they’re on Al Jazeera English, so you know, that makes him a terrorist or something. I like Head to Head in particular, because somehow, there are rich and powerful dumbasses out there who still don’t know how tough Mehdi is in interviews, so they go to Oxford to get owned in front of an audience. Erik Prince did it last year, you can watch the utter pwnage if you need a pick-me-up.

    In one of my increasingly frequent forays into insomnia I made a list of the ten people who’ve done the most damage to our country/democracy in the last 50 years. The order shifts around a little, depending on my mood and level of exhaustion, but here’s what I’ve got right now:
    1 — (tie) Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell
    3 — Ronald Reagan
    4 — George W. Bush
    5 — Richard Nixon
    6 — William Barr
    7 — Dick Cheney
    8 — Newt Gingrich
    9 — John Roberts
    10 — George H.W. Bush
    Honorable (!) mention: John Scalia, Donald Rumsfeld, Rush Limbaugh, Rupert Murdoch

    If there are other intelligent (well, in our case, sort of) civilizations in space, they have not reached us for the same reason we haven’t reached them: It’s too far.

    Recently a planet that might be able to support liquid water was discovered only 100 light years away. On a scale where 100 light years is the distance from Paris to Moscow, how far along the road does Elon Musk’s BFR go? I did the arithmetic: it gets one micrometer away from where it starts.

    Yeah, it’s going to take a lot more than this credulous horseshit to constitute evidence for this claim.

    Look, the tech to visit other stars and do secret recon, etc. is in what I call ” Impossible, Category II”. Category I Impossible is “There’s no physical principle we know of that would allow this”. Think faster-than-light travel. Category II is “It could be done in principle, but you would bankrupt planet Earth and still fail if you tried”. That’s what we’re talking about here, and given the distance scales, times, and energies involved, we don’t have any reason to believe that will change in the next couple of centuries.

    So to imagine that some civilization pulled of this amazing feat, then started playing hide-and-seek seek games with the AF while amusing themselves by making crop circles and administering recreational anal probes is about as fatuous as it would sound if an Earth mission did that and then tried to defend its activities before the committee that authorized the expenditure of 200 years of GPP (Gross Planetary Product). It would be entertaining, but would’t end well.

    People are gullible idiots. Some of them serve in government and in the military. And, as we know from the Iraq debacle, it is easy to construe or manufacture evidence to please eager superiors with low intellectual standards. Really, there’s nothing to see here. Let’s get back to the Orange Baboon Show.

    @Major Major Major Major: My guess is that everything is just too damn far away, and no matter how advanced the civilization, the speed of light is the max, can’t really be approached, and that’s that. Wormholes are theoretically real but beyond problematic, warp drive is fun science fiction but the keyword is “fiction” … and here we are. And there they are, way out yonder. Maybe not very many of them, either — Earth may be a super-Goldilocks because there aren’t many nearby stars (when they go supernova, there goes the neighborhood) and we’ve got a couple of gas giant planets hoovering up asteroids and comets  that would otherwise hit a RESET button on life every few million years or so.

    If aliens are observing us, they are not coming here in ‘vehicles.’ That is a 20th century paradigm. IF they are observing us, they probably have technologies that are not only undetectable, but unimaginable to us.

    Looking for aliens who are actively concealing themselves is a fool’s errand. Much better would be to look for any effects they are inducing in human culture.

    (Spoiler: they aren’t. But we would be well-served to answer the question “What advice would a radically-advanced civilization give us?”)

    @dopey-o: If (and for me, it’s a BIG if) aliens are observing us, they probably just NOPE the fuck out after about 10 seconds. Whatever mode of transport they’re in, they’ll just turn around, head back to Planet Whatever, and tell the rest of their kind, “Okay, it’s a hell no on having anything to do with that bunch of fuckers.”

    @Major Major Major Major: I suspect that if intelligence is actually common enough for the Fermi Paradox to be a paradox, it’s too alien for us to really understand its motivations, or to be able to assume it would want to communicate or meet us. If we ever find an alien intelligence we’ll spend all our time debating whether it is actually intelligent or not. We have a hard enough time with animals and machines.

    @Major Major Major Major:

    So what’s everybody’s favorite solution to the Fermi Paradox? I like “every advanced civilization invents cryptocurrency and destroys their planet mining it.”

    In all seriousness:

    Fusion power is impractical for spaceships (including the possibility it’s impractical, period).

    Without fusion power you can’t travel between stars or exist in interstellar space. So any civilization is trapped in its home system and just can’t make much of an impression on the universe. So, nobody else here, and not much to see unless you look *very* carefully to an extent we’re only just being able to get close to.

    It’s highly plausible after 60 years of fusion power being 30 years in the future and doesn’t require some civilization-ending trap so powerful every one that ever existed (probably quite a few) got sucked in.

    Yeah, space is too big.

    In other news, https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2020/07/homeland-security-agency-delays-widespread-furloughs/167188/

    The Trump administration on Friday promised to delay unpaid furloughs for more than 13,000 employees at a Homeland Security Department agency, with the announcement following an email telling employees the agency’s financial situation had improved.

    The furloughs, which were set to affect more than 70% of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services workforce, were scheduled to begin Aug. 3 and will now be pushed back several weeks at least. Employees, lawmakers and stakeholders had warned that the forced, unpaid time off would drastically curb the agency’s capacity to carry out its mission.

    […]

    USCIS had warned for months a downturn in fees collected due to the novel coronavirus would leave the agency unable to meet its payroll, necessitating the furloughs. The agency said it could avoid sending its employees home without pay only if Congress provided it $1.2 billion, but lawmakers have yet to approve such funding and USCIS sent out furlough notices in late June.

    Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., announced on Friday that Edlow had promised him to delay the furloughs at least through August. Earlier this week, Leahy and Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., sent a letter to Edlow calling on him to reverse the furlough threat after learning USCIS would end fiscal 2020 with a budget surplus. Agency officials previously told lawmakers they anticipated USCIS would fall $571 million short of covering its costs in the current fiscal year.

    […]

    I used to spend a lot of time out there in nature, and along with companions we saw some fascinating things in the sky. Things I have never been able to explain to myself at all.

     

    I once visited a nearby farmer to see his Brown Swiss cattle which were up on a high ridge above the road and farmyard.  He wanted to get back to the house before very late,  and when I asked him why,  he told a story right out of a Close Encounter study!

    So he wrote a Culture novella, The State of the Art, in which they do visit Earth but decide not to make contact, instead using us as a control group to see what happens when they don’t interfere with a society.

    We aren’t alone in this universe.  I’ve seen stuff in the night sky that can’t be explained by satellites or meteorites.  We’re a toddler civilization where as those peoples that can actually get here and fly around observing us are ancient.  They’ve figured out how to jump between points in space like the ships described in the Dune books.  It isn’t speed that allows one to travel between stars or galaxies.  Distances are still too far for that and Einstein’s theory is correct.  Mass increases in size as an object approaches the speed of light.  That effectively would kill biological entities and printed circuitry & chips.

    Antigravity lightspeed drive: Check.

    Quantum interstellar compass and starnav computer: Check.

    Earth low-altitude bird strike auto-avoider: Oops! Shit! Forgot that.

    Crash.
