Unidentified - Inside America’s UFO Investigation - series on the History Channel

I don't get the History channel, but it sounds like a good show.  I'd watch it if I did.

Here is an interesting article about the series and Luis Elizondo:

Are UFOs a threat? We need to investigate, says former head of secret US program

"I think we're at the point now where we're beyond reasonable doubt that these things exist," Elizondo said. "We know they're there — we have some of the greatest technology in the world that has confirmed their existence." But where do these objects come from, what are their capabilities and what are the intentions of whoever may have sent them?"

None of the objects had visible wings or other means of propulsion. What's more, they appeared to be performing maneuvers that would have subjected them to as much as 700 times the normal pull of gravity, or 700 Gs, Elizondo said. (Of course, there is no way to confirm those estimates, as the sightings were so fleeting and much of the obvious documentation is not readily available.) To put that into perspective, airplane cockpits can withstand only about 18 Gs before cracking, and people can typically endure just a few seconds at 9 Gs before losing consciousness, as gravity draws blood into the extremities and oxygen ceases to flow to the brain.

Worth a read :)

I don't know what to make of Luis Elizondo.  On one hand I want to believe the guy, on the other, the whole Tom Delonge affiliation turns me off.

Tom did an AM(almost)A over at ATS, it was pathetic.  To sum it up: "listen kid, I know things.  I know many higher ups in government, these people are serious.  Buy my books."

Is AMA “ask me anything?” Now I’m gonna go to ATS and search for that. I wonder if Tom Delonge is just bankrolling things or maybe he just seeks attention. I kinda ignore him. I do believe Lous Elizondo has a lot of integrity and respect.

Yup, I was making a joke, as in AskMeAlmostAnything.  Here's the link to the thread:

It was disappointing to say the least, especially after Tom was saying he knew all this shit and finally broke that barrier with the higher-ups about getting the ball rolling with disclosure.  His answers were, for the most part, short and vague.

The only thing I gleaned from it was looking into Lieutenant Colonel Philip Corso, who wrote a book about the Roswell crash and did an interview with Art Bell on Coast to Coast.
