Welcome once again to Fandango’s Provocative Question. Each week I will pose what I think is a provocative question for your consideration. By provocative, I don’t mean a question that will cause annoyance or anger. Nor do I mean a question intended to arouse sexual desire or interest.
What I do mean is a question that is likely to get you to think, to be creative, and to provoke a response. Hopefully a positive response.
In a provocative question last month, I asked, “Do you believe that intelligent, alien life exists?” Over past week or so I’ve read a number of articles reporting that U.S. Navy pilots have spotted strange objects flying at hypersonic speed over the U.S. east coast. These daily sightings occurred in 2014 and 2015 and were reported to the Pentagon and Congress.
One pilot said that he saw “strange objects” with “no visible engine, no distinct wing, no distinct tail, no distinct exhaust plume.” He also reported that they were flying at 30,000 feet and at hypersonic speeds.
Here’s an image of what some pilots saw.
Last week, the Pentagon admitted that it has launched investigations into UFO sightings and is analyzing reports of “flying saucers.” The Department of Defense went as far to reveal they will “continue” to probe such reports in a bid to keep the nation safe.
So today’s provocative question is all about Unidentified Flying Objects, or UFOs:
“Do you believe that there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for these sightings, like unannounced or unauthorized drone flights or space junk falling back into the atmosphere, or do you think that the objects these pilots saw were actual UFOs?”
If you choose to participate, write a post with your response to the question. Once you are done, tag your post with #FPQ and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress. Or you can simply include a link to your post in the comments.
And most important, have fun.
The issue with pingbacks not showing up seems to have been resolved, but you might check to confirm that your pingback is there. If not, please manually add your link in the comments.
“You will be outfitted as a janitor and will have access to the building on Saturday as part of the normal weekend cleaning crew,” the chief said. “Once you’re inside, all you need to do is to make your way to the main lab and place the milk carton on the table and the envelope on the floor outside the lab door. Then just continue to be unobtrusive and leave with the rest of the cleaning crew. Understand?”
There once was a carpenter who was constructing a new hive for his honey bees. He was always fascinated by honey bees. They live such an orderly and well-functioning life. They are social insects that live together in large, well-organized family groups.
