The headline in the NY Times scared a lot of people. In December, two pilots, (Navy Fighter Jet pilots), saw a cigar shaped object that moved strangely -- not like any known aircraft. They sent this video to the head guys at the Pentagon.
Our government has been investigating the possibility that aliens have visited the earth: Between 2008 and 2011, the Pentagon spent $22 million in a secret program that examined reports of flying objects -- unexplained sightings by pilots of aircraft that moved at what appeared to be incredibly high speeds with abrupt changes of direction and no visible signs of propulsion. The Times article also said the government had constructed specially modified buildings to house mysterious "alloys," (mixtures of metals) recovered from UFOs.
Wondering about that cigar-shaped object, I came across a photo from a California naval base, and a photo of UFOs rotating, not moving ahead, just rotating.
Jeff Wise, in NY Magazine.com, responding to the N.Y. Times article, said, "The hyped video about the cigar shaped object is too fuzzy to make out anything. Since 1940 we've been seeing unidentified objects in the skies. As for the storage shed, did scientists test the alloys. and determine the metals were not of earthly origin? The newspaper creates a sense of mystery with its questions, but leaves the questions unanswered. These techniques are great for exciting an audience but prove nothing."
Professor Michio Kaku, head of the theoretical physics department at City College of New York and CUNY Graduate Center, creator of award-winning documentaries, an authority on this subject, published this commentary on what the two pilots saw.

Guys, the Washington Post said: "It's surprising how little attention this story got. The idea of an alien invasion has not broken through the Trump bubble. Like the solar eclipse of last summer, the hunt for extra terrestrial life reminds us that we are just a small part of an inconceivably large universe. In this year of petty partisanship and all-consuming chaos. that's something of a comfort."
I'm not comforted. Two distinguished, foremost authorities said "It could be aliens." (also) "We are probably not alone." I am wondering what can we do, what should we do about the aliens?

From an airplane we all saw a strange bright light. Even the pilot said he didn't know what it was. Turns out it was a rocket launch by SpaceX.
Since you ask "What should we do about THE aliens?" I assume you believe they are real, that there's something about all the unexplained sightings around the world. I believe too because I was a witness many years ago. I just wish they would stop and introduce themselves. After all, Close Encounters of the Third Kind are the best kind. UFOs make such a fascinating subject, EM. Thanks.
UFOs are so exciting to think about. I believe we are not alone in the Universe. It's just too big not to have lots of other places where life can flourish. But I also think we'll never make contact except maybe by some form of communication we haven't developed yet. I prefer to get excited about Man reach out to our own planets. I think we SHOULD have missions to other stars, it's in our nature to explore to our limits.

HOW I GOT HERE
I'm a writer, writing things that haven't brought me fame, but continue to involve me, inspire me to find an audience.
I started out as a modern dancer, contemporary, but balletic. I didn't want to be a swan, or a barefoot dancer. I wanted to dance to the music that thrilled me as a child, and made me want to be a dancer.
I began writing in the truck my first husband, Mark Ryder and I bought, in order to carry our set, props, and costumes for a long one-night-stands tour -- eighty-eighty performances in eighty-eight cities.
We were performing "Romeo and Juliet" nightly, but our marriage was breaking up. Every day while our stage manager drove us two-hundred miles or so to the next booking, I'd type a detailed description of last night -- what we did well, what we argued about, and a travelogue about the town, and comments from the people at the nightly party.
Recovering from the trip and the divorce, I sent my "car book" to a friend who said -- "Em, it's great, but ..." And that became rewrites, and another book. Then, my marriage to actor John Cullum, and then a play that got produced, and another book, big hopes because a famous agent loved it. The title and concept changed five times -- now it's been published, finally, as "Somebody, Woman of the Century." You can buy it, or read about it and my other five novels on Emily Frankel.com
