Unexplained Sightings Met With Denial / Aviation Safety Neglected

Many people, upon hearing of a reported UFO, laugh it off: "Ha ha! Little, green men.", and the like.

But... Did You Know?:
"In the 1950's, pilots and crew reported seeing flying discs, cigar-shaped craft with portholes... all with extraordinary technical capabilities.  Documents show the unexplained objects were considered a national security concern.  By order of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, commercial pilots were required to report sightings and the unauthorized release of a UFO report could cost them ten years in prison or a $10,000 fine."

And yet... despite the fact that, even today, commercial pilots and crew are continuing to observe these objects - with some of them experiencing 'near-misses' and/or having electronics/communication affected by close proximity to the objects:  "The vast majority of sightings by American pilots are still not reported. The media perpetuates the censorship and ridicule, handicapping the collection of valuable data."

"In contrast, other countries are openly investigating the impact of UAP ("Unidentified Aerial Phenomena") on aviation safety."

Screw the U.S. government's/military brass' discomfort with honesty/disclosure.

Dr. Richard F. Haines' (former NASA chief and Raytheon scientist) study "Aviation Safety in America - A Previously Neglected Factor" (with over 100 pilot/crew reports of encounters) has already proven (back in 2000) that unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) are a well-documented aviation safety issue.

Business Insider: Second Nebraska Nuclear Plant Threatened By Flooding

Have YOU heard about the 2 nuclear plants in Nebraska threatened by floodwater?

If not, you're not alone.

Even before it was acknowledged that the second nuclear plant was being threatened, the threat to the first plant seems to have been rather - I dunno - methinks hush-hush is quite apropos.

As you probably recall, the Fukushima nuclear disaster involving three nuclear reactors and at least 2 - if not - 3 nuclear melt-downs (no, I'm not kidding.) resulted not from the earthquake, but from the floodwater and its effects.

But... fear not, good people!  At least that's what the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is saying (though not in those exact words).

"Officials say a key difference between the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan..." and the threats to Nebraska plants is that the NE plants "... have had weeks to prepare flood defenses." *

* They've "... had weeks to prepare", huh?

Well, that's all well and good... but, honestly, just because someone has had weeks to do anything - that doesn't mean they actually did it/did enough, now does it?
