"BLUE" JIMMY: UFOLOGIST
BLIND DOG OZZY: NEUROTIC CHIHUAHUA
"BLUE" JIMMY: All my life I have wanted to see a UFO. And even after half a case and a few shots on many clear, Summer nights ... still no luck.
BLIND DOG OZZY: But other strange s**t, yes.
"BLUE" JIMMY: I should remind people that the term "UFO" doesn't necessarily mean little green men in flying saucers, it just means an UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT. Unlike a lot of country folk who have reported UFOs, I live in Los Angeles, California, right under a flight path to Los Angeles International Airport and also not far from a military base which sends helicopters and fighter jets over my roof at ungodly hours. I'm used to seeing all kinds of aircraft. I keep waiting for that one thing I can't explain ... it has never happened.
BLIND DOG OZZY: (yawn!)
"BLUE" JIMMY: In Nov. 2019, Popular Mechanics Magazine released an article which revealed that fighter pilots of the USS NIMITZ carrier strike group encountered "unidentified aerial phenomena" in the fall of 2004 off the coast of San Diego, CA, a couple of hours drive up the coast from where I live. In Dec. 2019 Chad Underwood, the Navy fighter pilot who took video of this phenomena (called "Flir 1") told New Yorker magazine that this video is just a small segment of the original video.
Other personnel aboard the ship say that "unknown persons" boarded the ship in a helicopter and ordered all video of the encounter deleted.
BLIND DOG OZZY: Just don't hit me with that flashy thing!
"BLUE" JIMMY: So far, just a typical UFO encounter by U.S. servicemen ... until last week (Jan. 2020) when various news outlets revealed that an independent researcher named Christian Lambright, through the Freedom Of Information Act, requested more information on the incident. But an unnamed representative from the Navy's Office Of Naval Intelligence was quoted as saying, "... the Original Classification Authority has determined that the release of these materials would cause exceptionally grave damage to The National Security Of The United States." A cryptic and suspicious response for sure. Usually, military brass will say that phenomena like this is some kind of photographic anomaly, a training exercise or that the incident never took place. Why would full release of video and details of this incident constitute a threat to national security?
BLIND DOG OZZY: DUN! DUN! DUN!
"BLUE" JIMMY: I have followed enough UFO stories to know that this sounds like classic misdirection by the U.S. military. Most likely they are baiting UFO conspiracy theorists, making them think they have hit upon something big while the real, Big Story lies somewhere else. This brings to mind a recent interview with CIA and NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, who in 2013 risked his career and life to uncover massive breaches of American citizen privacy rights through a massive U.S. Government surveillance program which has still not been fully resolved.
He has has been charged with violation of the U.S. Espionage Act Of 1917 and theft of government property. He has sought asylum in Russia since 2013 and has never denied the crimes he committed for the greater good. In his book "Permanent Record" (2019) Snowden discusses the fact that, among other things, he intentionally hacked into CIA, NSA and U.S military records looking for evidence and found no trace of U.S. Government contact with UFO's or extraterrestrial beings. In a 2019 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, a hugely popular podcast, Snowden said, "I had ridiculous access to the CIA, the NSA, the military, all these groups. I couldn't find anything. So if it's hidden, and it could be hidden, it's hidden really damn well, even from people on the inside." So there you have it. Roughly 70 years of UFO research down the drain.
BLIND DOG OZZY: Pack up your telescopes and tinfoil hats ... aliens don't exist!
"BLUE" JIMMY: But I can't help but think that there's a certain silly arrogance to thinking that if extraterrestrial beings exist, they would contact the U.S. government first ... before anybody. I'm reminded of the 1997 film "Contact" starring Jodie Foster, who plays a frustrated SETI scientist who continually has to remind White House personnel that the alien beings she has contacted don't speak English and are not subject to U.S. Government approval.
Perhaps an advanced race of beings in this vast universe would first choose to reveal themselves to a tribe of indigenous people or to a group of Tibetan monks meditating under a waterfall and not to a warlike nation with issues and nuclear weapons.
BLIND DOG OZZY: Or maybe they just don't like all those s**t- awful "Men In Black" movies!
"BLUE" JIMMY: Sake's Alive!
BLIND DOG OZZY: Wow! Wow!
