In official statements, the US Navy has for the first time officially stated that the three UFO videos made public by former Blink-182 singer Tom DeLonge's UFO research organization are footage of real "unknown" objects violating American airspace.

Navy spokesperson Joseph Gradisher told Motherboard that "the Navy considers the phenomena contained/depicted in those 3 videos as unidentified." Previously, the Navy never addressed the content of the videos. The terminology here is important: The UFO community is increasingly using the terminology "unidentified aerial phenomena" to discuss unknown objects in the sky.

John Greenwald, author and curator of The Black Vault, the largest civilian archive of declassified government documents, originally reported the news. Greenwald requested information in August from the Navy regarding the content of the three popular videos purporting to show anomalous aerial objects.

    I was unaware Microsoft had an AI. Let alone one capable of spewing Nazis.

    (Remember, Godwin only occurs when someone calls their debate opponent a Nazi, or compares them with one. Other casual use of the word gets zero Godwin points.)

      I still find it extremely funny in a very dark and twisted sort of way. Be careful what you teach your AI, you just might make Skynet a reality. In that event, we'd deserve to be slow roasted as we'd have done it to ourselves. Can't be bothered to see just how bad of an idea it would be to leave the killing to the AI Military? Write in humanity for the Darwin Award.

        Before we get a real General AI, we need to find some way to ensure that it can never see any pr0n.
