Apropos F-22s and UFOs.

Billy, take a look at the UFO footage I found in the TV docu, “The 10 Best Fighter Jets.”

Discovery Channel documentary film. Slow motion and original footage.

The UFO sphere flies right above the canopy of a Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor in flight.

In the footage, the small sphere flies along with the fighter jet for a few seconds, then it moves straight up (right angle turn), stops for a fraction of a second before flying straight up.

The footage seems to have been recorded (unknown date) in the South-Western U.S., judging by the landscape.

Billy, you stared down the freak with a beer in hand. Congrats! Will the IFO hypocrisy ever end? Thank you for your sleuthing and excellent writing

Great writing, Billy, and glad you are okay. I live in SW NC and experienced Helene, but fortunately we only lost three big trees that fell away from the house. Some were not so lucky, and one person who lives in nearby Chimney Rock said she had to hike out of there and saw the bodies of victims. That would be tough to deal with.

A real tragedy. I've got friends in the Asheville area and I have no idea what that nightmare must've been like to endure. Every hurricane season that rolls around now feels like we're staring down the barrel of a gun.

I'm still wondering how Shellenberger came to be considered some kind of UFO insider/expert? He may have some contacts at DOE since he's a total shill for the nuclear industry, but we have to remember that's where he comes from and he's been sucking up to Musk and other right wing bad actors. So I wouldn't trust this guy any further than I can throw him.

He published a story featuring allegations passed on to him on the down low. Has he claimed to be a "UFO insider/expert"? Not to my knowledge. If anyone else considers him as such that's on them. He's a journalist doing his job.

So far, he's got nothing he could present to a jury.

Another example of your extraordinary writing skill. You put us right in the middle of what we didn't want to be in the middle of! Your judgement not so much. I thought you'd learned your lesson after walking around in the flood water after Debbie. I think it was Debbie. I get them mixed up. Biking so soon after not wise. Downed power lines are not always dead. Glad your guardian UFO was watching over you.

I went through my 1st one when I was 3 years old, and still remember it like it was yesterday.

Good to hear that you came through it unscathed.

I think I got mentally scathed.

My older brother corrected me. I was 4 when we got hit by Hurricane Donna in Miami.

Now that you mention it, he and my mother definitely got mentally scathed. But I was so young that it was more of an exciting adventure for me because that's how my dad wisely played it up to me ahead of its arrival.

Great writing.

The trouble with 'giants in the playground' is that playfulness and overwhelming dominance become difficult to distinguish :)

I went on a 2 a.m. ride after the storm, too, to check on friends’ house and the cats that had ended up left behind by the person who was feeding them while said friends were traveling.

Can't believe you were on the streets at 2 a.m. Whoa.

It wasn’t bad by then. Just required a bit of obstacle-dodging.

(Their place was mostly fine. Mine seems to be. All cats intact.)

GREAT description of living through Milton.

This article more than answered my email of how you did during the storm. I'm glad we will continue to read your most wonderful writing, Billy, whether its about UFOs, hurricanes, or life in Jonestown. :-)

Wow, sir, this is some freaken brilliant writing. Your talents are wasted on UFOs. I'm glad to know you're safe & I hope you're feeling fine. All best, /m/

Well, we all gotta waste our lives on one thing or another.

Terrific piece as always, Billy. Pay attention to the newly-released 2020 UAP Task Force UAP intelligence assessment briefing doc – seems more tangible and potentially interesting, especially in the shorter-term, than supposed programs with names that don't really sound like typical program names. Glad to hear you made it through Milton in decent shape!

Haven't seen that one. Link?

Thanks. The latent damage will probably surface over the holidays.
