Given https://www.cdc.gov/cpr/zombie/index.htm - nothing surprises me, though I would of thought this would of been something all country air forces would have - procedures in encountering unknown flying craft! Certainly would have a friend or foe identification procedure and with that, the ability to also identify neutral/civilian/..... and other avenues grown into that procedure over time.

1) Bow respectfully to our visitors 2) Serve them tea

Use a mask and don’t touch their faces?

Yeah, if only Aliens had face masks that filter out bacteria and viruses, would totally of changed the whole War of the Worlds ending.

It’s hard to believe that every nation with an airforce doesn’t already have some sort of protocol in place about what to do if you see a flying object not flying any known colors that you cannot hail on radio.

Edit: unless they all do dating back to the Cold War, and it’s “shoot first, ask questions later.”

It is 1999 and Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) have started appearing with disturbing regularity in the night skies. Reports of violent human abductions and horrific experimentation struck terror into the hearts of millions. The mass public hysteria has only served to expose Earth's impotence against a vastly superior technology.

Many countries initially attempted to deal independently with the aliens. In August 1998, Japan established an anti-alien combat force; the Kiryu-Kai. Equipped with Japanese-made fighter aircraft, the Kiryu-Kai certainly looked like a powerful force. However, after 5 months of expensive operations they had yet to intercept their first UFO. The lesson was clear: this was a worldwide problem which could not be dealt with by individual countries.

On December 11, 1998, representatives from the worlds most economically powerful countries gathered secretly in Geneva. After much debate, the decision was made to establish a covert independent body to combat, investigate and defeat the alien threat. This organization would be equipped with the world's finest pilots, soldiers, scientists and engineers, working together as one multi-national force. This organization was named the Extraterrestrial Combat Unit."

If there are aliens flying around, it would be nice if at least one country made high quality evidence public.

The U.S. Navy videos are intriguing but very far from conclusive. And yet they are likely withholding a ton more data that citizens should have access to.

If it's all a cover story for top secret stuff, then it's likely an unnecessary deception. I doubt any U.S. military project is actually safe from Chinese and Russian spies. So all they're doing is increasing the sense of distrust between U.S. citizens and their own government.

Modern people don't want to live in the Cold War secrecy paranoia of the last century. The U.S. military should focus on what really matters and leave that toxic cold war culture behind.

Perhaps these are truly unidentified objects but you can’t ignore the sophistication of the scams associated with UFOs. There are elaborate hoaxes that require a serious amount of work, sometimes allegedly leaking classified information to mix into it.

For example, Project Serpo, some conspiracy theory about a secret space mission in the 1960-1970s. Somehow decades later this convinced a well known former CIA employee. Who later claimed he was naive to be associated with them.

This led to an unusual case of a current CIA employee leaking emails denying that the former DDI and Chairman of the NIC was involved with the Serpo hoax or the other CIA employee.

That employee quit the CIA in 1982 but was later affiliated with the DDI through medical research.

In the emails, described a meeting at CIA that occurred after the 1988 NBC broadcast of UFO: Cover-Up Live. Mentioned with two Colonels and the dubious AFOSI character who allegedly ran the original Serpo hoax for the Air Force. This person is the focus of the documentary Mirage Men. He also worked for Robert Bigelow and employed the chief scientist to Tom DeLonge’s company.

That scientist was introduced to DeLonge by the former CIA employee who fell for the later Serpo hoax.

The story is confusing but who would spend all this time on this? If you look closely, all the scientists involved even the Stanford guy, are kind of true believers. The rest are con-artists or deceived by a quest to uncover a great secret or technology.

Here is the 1988 broadcast, Falcon and Condor are around 1h10m. Falcon is the Serpo hoaxer AFOSI agent and Condor is a retired Air Force captain. There’s no covert conspiracy here, just a bunch of weird people who claims fantastic things. There’s no prime mover just human nature (ie disinformation, intelligence traps and scams)-
