Government agencies have long monitored unidentified flying objects (UFOs) more extensively than they have publicly acknowledged. Declassified documents obtained through FOIA requests reveal concerns at high levels of government over UFO sightings near military bases and nuclear weapons facilities in the 1970s. While officials have denied taking UFOs seriously, the documents show that intelligence agencies like the CIA closely tracked the phenomenon amid fears that UFOs could represent secret Soviet technology. The release of these documents has revived questions about how much the government really knows about UFOs.
The NSA report from 1969 warns that UFO sightings by reputable witnesses indicate that UFOs are a real threat and not just hoaxes. The report cautions that if UFOs are extraterrestrial, it could have serious survival implications for humanity. It urges taking UFOs more seriously and being prepared in case of a surprise invasion, citing examples like Pearl Harbor where lack of preparation led to defeat.

it ended with us asking

bum jizz," And there was
this litUe dance we had
to do to fl$ure oui an
appropriate waY to say it.
ApparentlY, You can saY
"bum sperm," butYou can't
say "bum semen." "Bum
spunk" was OK. But "bum
jizz" was not OK. So we dld
40 different takes - "bum
jizzum," "bum zygote." So
often the things theY'll
have you say as alternates
are so much dirtier. TbeY"

"You say lhe word .ass'on pages
