Faster than sound, with no visible engines: Pentagon's top-secret Congress briefing on UFOs sighted 'almost daily' by Navy pilots

The Pentagon has provided a classified briefing to members of Congress about reported encounters by US navy pilots and unidentified aircraft, some of which were said to have no visible engines and could reach hypersonic speeds.

Earlier this year, a number of pilots reported seeing the objects on an almost daily basis from the summer of 2014 to March 2015, while flying navy jets off the East Coast. Some of the encounters were even captured on video, leading the navy to announce it had updated the way pilots were to formally reports the incidents.

Now, the military has provided a classified briefings on the encounters to a group of senators, after the president said last week he had been updated on the issue.

But yeah, holy fucking shit.
At last.

Maybe not always carbon based and very different to anything we know but I can't see there being innumerable planets with nothing going on. There must be some planets with similar components as earth where similar life forms could have or will develop.

No doubt...

With millions of galaxies and billions of planets out there, no doubt there is some life starting , growing and eventually ending, on many 'somewheres' out there..

That is pretty well a mathematical and statistical 'certainty'.

However, one overriding question remains :

Why the hell would any advanced sentient alien race want to visit this messed-up planet, as we certainly don't have anything to offer them  ?

Unless, of course, they are the galactic pest controllers, and simply wanted to exterminate mankind in retribution for all of the damage it has done to this planet over millenia..

Or they need natural resources and/or slave labor, then we'd be quite the prize
