Here’s a song I wrote about UFOs and the Navy. The song is delivered New Orleans style:
And here’s a techno version of the same song:
MY HYPOTHESIS: It appears that the only military service that gets great authentic videos of UFOs is the U.S. Navy, and I’m curious why. All the videos acknowledged by the government were filmed by Navy pilots. Why the Navy, and not the Army, the Air Force, the Marines, the Coast Guard, the Space Force. How come this seems to be so? Okay, let’s examine the situation:
Maybe it only looks like the Navy — It could be because the Navy happens to be in a place where several things overlap all at once. It goes like this:
First, geography. Most serious UFO or UAP encounters happen over the ocean. Huge empty spaces, very little civilian traffic, and a lot of military activity. If something odd is cruising around and doesn’t want attention, the ocean is the perfect place. The Navy lives there all the time. The Army mostly doesn’t. The Air Force kind of does, but mostly they fly over land.
Second, the kind of flying Navy pilots do. Navy aviators fly constantly, often in the same training ranges, with extremely advanced sensors. They’re not just eyeballing things. They’ve got radar, infrared, tracking pods, and multiple aircraft seeing the same object at the same time. When a pilot says “that thing accelerated like nothing I’ve ever seen,” it’s backed up by instruments, not just a story.
Third, reporting culture. The Navy changed its rules a few years back and basically told pilots: if you see something weird, report it, no stigma. Once that door opened, reports flooded in. Not because things suddenly appeared, but because people finally stopped pretending they weren’t there.
Fourth, the Air Force factor. The Air Force has decades of deep secrecy tied to experimental aircraft, classified projects, and Cold War habits. Their default position is silence. If they admit seeing unknown craft, it muddies the waters between “foreign tech,” “our tech,” and “something else.” So even if Air Force pilots see the same things, it’s much less likely to surface.
Fifth, sensors got better. Navy ships and jets upgraded radar and tracking systems in the early 2000s. Stuff that had always been there but invisible suddenly showed up on screens. From the Navy’s point of view, it looked like objects were popping into existence. From another angle, it was just the veil lifting.
Sixth, commercial pilots do see odd things too, but they’re discouraged from making a big deal out of it. No military-grade sensors, no appetite from airlines for mystery reports, and plenty of easy explanations offered whether they fit or not.
The quiet takeaway is this: it’s not that only the Navy is seeing these things. It’s that the Navy is in the right place, with the right tools, and was the first branch that said, “okay, we’ll talk about it.”

Bonus Question: What is “Embodied”?
Just like the word “mindfulness”, the word “embodied” has undergone a complete transformation, or more properly, a transmogrification.
Mindfulness used to mean “paying attention”. Now it means “paying attention with attention”. There is a subtle difference. The word “embodied” is not what it used to be — living inside a human organism — it’s somehow subtly different as well.
When someone says they’re “embodied,” they usually mean this:
They’re fully present in their body, not just living in their head.
Be here now, only more so. That “more so” is important. Put a little effort into it.
More plainly:
– They feel their weight
– They notice breath, posture, tension, movement
– They’re aware of sensations as they happen
– Their body and attention are in the same place at the same time
Most people are the opposite most of the time. They’re:
– thinking about yesterday or tomorrow
– narrating themselves internally
– floating above the body like a bad drone pilot
That’s disembodied.
Embodied means:
“I’m here, now, in this body, not just running commentary about it.”
A few practical markers you can actually notice:
If someone is embodied, they tend to:
– move more deliberately
– speak a little slower or more grounded
– make decisions that feel settled, not frantic
– react less automatically
– feel emotions physically instead of just labeling them
Emotion is a big tell.
Disembodied anger is ranting.
Embodied anger is heat in the chest, clenched jaw, clear boundary.
Same with joy, fear, sadness — embodied means you feel it, not just think “I am feeling X.”
There’s also a quieter, deeper meaning that some folks appreciate:
Embodied means the body isn’t being treated as a vehicle or inconvenience, but as an intelligence.
Not “I have a body.”
More like “I am a body.”
That’s why dancers, craftspeople, martial artists, musicians, and farmers often get this without ever using the word “body”. They’re already living it.
My opinion:
A lot of spiritual talk accidentally trains people to leave the body.
Embodiment is the corrective. It says:
“No, stay. This is where the work actually happens.”
Embodiment is where meaning shows up.
Without embodiment, everything turns abstract, symbolic, theoretical.
With embodiment, things become real, sometimes inconveniently so.
