I agree, all we have to deal with is the space junk left behind that re-enters and leaves a hole in our roofs lol

We are not currently on the front lines

What other tether?
The Naval Center for Space Technology recently built and launched a Tethered Satellite called TiPS. The TiPS satellite is a tether physics experiment consisting of two end masses connected by a 4 km non-conducting tether. The satellite was deployed on 20 June 1996 at an altitude of 1,022 kilometers (552 nautical miles). This experiment is designed to increase knowledge about gravity-gradient tether dynamics and the survivability of tethers in space. (Tethers can be severed by space debris.) The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is a sponsor of the TiPS program.
TiPS was launched in 1996 by the US Naval Research Laboratory. A four-kilometre long tether connected two satellites named Ralph and Norton. The two satellites together had a mass just under 50 kilograms. Tethered satellites show promise in helping with orbital maneuvering, power generation and artificial gravity tests. This experiment was concluded in late 2006 when the tether presumably broke. I captured this video in the summer of 2004 with an Astrovid StellaCam EX, Celestron 8-inch NexStar GPS telescope with f/2 Fastar optics, NexRemote and SatelliteTracker software and a soundtrack from the shortwave time signal WWV from an observing site inside Toronto. The field of view here is about 40' x 50', slightly larger than the Full Moon. apolloisgo | March 06, 2007
What size ships do you think or know that the Navy has in space?
December 03, 2010 Associated Press VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. - The U.S. Air Force's secrecy-shrouded X-37B unmanned spaceplane returned to Earth early Friday after more than seven months in orbit on a classified mission, officials said. The winged craft autonomously landed at at Vandenberg Air Force Base on the California coast 130 miles northwest of Los Angeles, Vandenburg spokesman Jeremy Eggers said. "It's very exciting," Eggers said of the 1:16 a.m. PST landing. The X-37B was launched by an Atlas 5 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on April 22, 2010, with a maximum mission duration of 270 days.

Now THAT is a very good observation and neither are 'they' blasting us out of the sky...
So... playing tag? War Games?
The 'Foo Fighters' of WWII buzzed every ones planes... though we never knew that at the time... heard one report that they fired right through one... didn't hurt it

He never metioned that he saw them buzzing fighters only Brit and Yank bombers?
After his initial unsuccessful attempts to develop a reusable vehicle in the early 1960s, Chelomei returned to the concept of a winged orbiter at the beginning of the 1970s. Around 1975, Chelomei proposed a "smaller and cheaper" Soviet response to the US Space Shuttle.
Bob DU, I understand your logic in this subject but I firmly believe it is the "secrecy" that got us into all of this matrix control grid. It is a secrecy that never allows the people to make informed, educated decisions in their lives, their governments, and in their personal lives. Secrecy is the most fertile ground for a secret society to grow and flourish from. I am one of those that happen to agree with President Kennedy where in his secret society speech he discusses the evils of such organizations.
If this is the case then its another reason not to disclose, it would not be good to tell the world there is a race out there abducting and sucking out the vital organs while they are still conscious and we have no way of stoping them.

In my humble opinion, it is the secret societies who do the greatest harm to mankind by covering for, aiding and doing the bidding of these "Evil Aliens". I say let the people have the truth and let them decide for themselves how to defend themselves. It gives the 2nd amendment to the US constitution a whole new meaning...
