Electra,
"It's honestly pretty meaningless as to the "why?" "
I agree, I was just responding to Fed808's assertion that they are testing a new stealth bomber or other experimental craft. My question to him is why would they do this over a populated area with lights all over it.
"If you look at the UFO phenomenon, as of the last 20 years, you begin to observe familiarity, and more exactly, similarity in sighted events. This being in respect to UFO appearance and aerial behavior."
This is very true based on the witness accounts.
Check this picture out, you may have seen it. When you consider that at least TWO commercial pilots saw in a span of I believe 5 years, a massive craft the size of an airborne aircraft carrier, come within 1000 feet of their plan, then several smaller craft flew out of the larger one, flew around their plan a few times and then back into the large one and then it took off in a blink of an eye. All backed by ground and air radar, which were being communicated back and forth.
Then look at this from 6000 BC in africa. This one to me is amazing.

"I will also contend that it would be exemplary of somewhat paranoid cowardice of a fantastically derived proportion, to feel, or react, as though there is something within this phenomenon that demonstrates a "threat" to mankind.
Taken at a surface level glance, with respect to our known cutting edge military capabilities:
If anything, it would hypothetically suggest a level of technology that is beyond any such need to exert dominance as compared to what we have to retaliate with."
Well yes, my contention is they wouldn't fly experimental craft over populated areas and risk exposure unless they want us to know. So if it's not ours, who's is it ?
I agree about their intent, as I pointed out before Crawford is still there.
There is a myriad of possibilities of why, who and what with regards to the subject.
I don't think it is quite as simple as landing on the white house lawn. I in fact find many more reasons for not doing that.
But it seems if ET they or them are getting bolder in the approach or we are just getting better at capturing the event.
