Military confirms UFOs are Real, but Who are They and Why are they Here?

In case anyone has not been paying attention, recently the U.S. Navy declassified three videos in 2017 and confirmed that UFOs are real. They apparently prefer to call them "unidentified aerial phenomenon."  Here is a news clip from CNN showing portions of the three videos:


So what I like about this is we have a chain of custody for these videos, one taken from the gun camera of a fighter jet off the coast of the United States. So this eliminates any argument about the authenticity of the video or photograph. A U.S. Navy pilot reported that one of the objects was hovering over the water and immediately accelerated vertically to 12,000 feet. And in less than 2 seconds it flitted out of sight to not be seen.

So the next argument is they are just indicated as "unidentified."  But their behavior shows an object under intelligent control that clearly exceeds the capabilities of our military aircraft or any drone. From the NY Times article 2 Navy Airmen and an Object That ‘Accelerated Like Nothing I’ve Ever Seen’:

"The objects appeared suddenly at 80,000 feet, and then hurtled toward the sea, eventually stopping at 20,000 feet and hovering. Then they either dropped out of radar range or shot straight back up."

And not only could they accelerate and manuever very quickly, they would play around with our fighter jets listening in on the communication between the U.S.S. Princeton aircraft carrier and the fighter jets:

"The two fighter jets then conferred with the operations officer on the Princeton and were told to head to a rendezvous point 60 miles away, called the cap point, in aviation parlance.They were en route and closing in when the Princeton radioed again. Radar had again picked up the strange aircraft.
“Sir, you won’t believe it,” the radio operator said, “but that thing is at your cap point.”"

So this is not exactly news - this has been going on for over 60 years since the explosion of the atomic bomb. What has changed is that the U.S. Military, or a group in the intelligence community, has apparently decided to slowly disclose what they know to the public. Before it was outright denial, and pilots who had reported this phenomenon would often be met with ridicule and perhaps subjects to a psychological evaluation. It was reported that in 2019 that the U.S. military has finally changed this policy, and is now asking pilots to come forward with information on sightings, as these things have been increasingly doing regular incursions on military exercises - see U.S. Navy drafting new guidelines for reporting UFOs.

SO WHO ARE THEY AND WHY ARE THEY HERE?

So, there is something technologically advanced under intelligent control that likes to perform incursions on our military exercises, or on our high speed aircraft and even rocket launches. In the past they have shown an interest in our nuclear sites. From their behavior we can derive the following:

1. They prefer to observe and not make open contact
2. They wish to gather information on our military and/or technological advancement
3. They may be concerned on how human activity is destroying the earthly environment

As for their origin, I can propose three options:

1. Our own military is testing secret craft against our own military, or
2. An advanced civilization or base that lives underground or underwater, or,
3. Extraterrestrial

As for #1, I have no doubt that the U.S. military has done some reverse engineering in top secret facilities. But I doubt we would test something having this capability against our own military and then declassify it for public release. It is also apparently causing concern in the U.S. military as they are now telling pilots to report what they encounter instead of hiding it.  I consider #3 the most likely explanation, and if so, it is likely they have established forward bases in remote locations somewhere in our solar system for logistical reasons.

SWEDENBORG'S CONTACTS WITH EXTRATERRESTRIALS

As far as I know, the earliest explicit contact with extraterrestrials occurred in the 18th century through the waking visions of Emanuel Swedenborg. In his exploration of the spiritual world, he discovered that certain spirits were indeed human but not from this planet earth. In his attempt to identify where they came from, he may have surmised incorrectly that they came from other planets of our solar system (for a summary of explanations, see An Explanation of Swedenborg's Extraterrestrial Encounters).  Among the ones that may explain something about these UFOs are the humans he identified as coming from the planet Mercury. They traveled across the universe, with the goal of collecting and gathering knowledge. They would travel across the universe in the form of a  globe. If indeed they are same as the ones piloting these UFOs, it may mean they are just here to gather knowledge.

So why do they not make contact? Swedenborg provides more answers in this area. In his encounters, the extraterrestrials wished to avoid contact with humans on earth, simply because we tended to be much more evil than they were. From an angelic perspective, earth itself was under a "spiritual quarantine" and contact with other extraterrestrial societies was very restricted, even in the spiritual world. Also unlike most other extraterrestrial societies, humans on earth have lost direct contact with heaven. On other planets, extraterrestrial human societies had direct spiritual communication with the angelic spirits of heaven. This creates a spiritual barrier to communication, for Swedenborg explained that due to evil human nature contact with spirits on this planet with those who are not in true belief is strictly forbidden (see The Origin and Cause of Demoniac and Poltergeist Activity).

So the answer to this mystery, if we wish to know more - is to become more spiritual, to look inward, and to cease from evil. And of course be willing to have an open mind, and acknowledge that they are here, observing from a distance.
