I don't think that's real. The conclusion that they're AI controlled drones is very reasonable, but the bits about recreating the behavior in a neural network and using that to tell whether they're inorganic or organic sounds like complete bullshit.

Interesting screen grab. I mean we generally think of the weird orb or disk as being fully formed and hovering there in the sky but what if a typical UAP is more like somebody dipping a finger in an aquarium, the fish react but they don't have any conception of the fingertip being just a fraction of a (to them) gigantic and much more advanced organism.

A "lethal" weaponized drone "hunted down a human target" without being told to for the first time, according to a UN report seen by the New Scientist.

The March 2020 incident saw a KARGU-2 quadcopter autonomously attack a human during a conflict between Libyan government forces and a breakaway military faction, led by the Libyan National Army's Khalifa Haftar, the Daily Star reported.

The Turkish-built KARGU-2, a deadly attack drone designed for asymmetric warfare and anti-terrorist operations, targeted one of Haftar's soldiers while he tried to retreat, according to the paper.

lmao this is such a lie.

Autonomous probes make a lot of sense because unless they had some way to ignore momentum inside the ufos, any living thing would get turned to goo by going 10000 mph to zero. The big black triangle ones could have creatures in them if they aren't just fake or human aircraft. If the ufos aren't from the ocean, i think it's unlikely that they could carry enough fuel to get here from somewhere else, so maybe those triangles are motherships

It's disappointing but not surprising, given the staggering amount of racism that circulates around the older UFO crowd. Hell, MUFON has stopped even trying to hide that they're still working with noted shitbag John Ventre, so apparently they feel as well that there's more money in pandering to racists than in keeping it under their hat.

Astonishing Legends are great because they do their homework and really get into what’s actually happening, but there’s two of them that are totally credulous about ufos and aliens and they’ll always fall for it and just make it part of whatever the episode is about. The Gobleki Tepe episode is a great example of this, as one of them goes way off the rails talking about how the statues of hooded human figures could represent outsiders “from somewhere” who taught things to the people there while the other hosts are trying to stick to actual scholarship.

I confess that I'm a little confused by this, since Astonishing Legends is just two hosts all the time, Scott Philbrook and Forrest Burgess. They only ever have the two hosts, and yeah they're definitely true believer, everything is connected kind of people.

They do have guests on from time to time, but aside from maybe some of the super early episodes where they were still figuring the show out, I don't know that they have ever even done a guest host situation.

Isn't it due 180 days after the CORVID relief bill enactment date (12/21/20)? That would put it at 6/19. Government never attempts the extra credit points so I don't think it'll come out for another couple weeks.
