Can't remeber if this one has been posted before, but its weird.

Story from youtube:
Video was made by the US military in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan in 2011. Recorded from a surveillance tower using a night vision fire control system. Four UFOs appeared over the mountains and released garlands of smaller objects down.
A Warthog was called, the A-10 plane attacked two of the four objects, but when the smoke from the explosions cleared, it became clear that the attack did not inflict harm to objects and they didn’t even move a centimeter from their places.

I think I saw someone mention that this is just an aerial gunnery course using flares on balloons to provide fighters heat signature locks for Sidewinders or some poo poo. Also that's some kind of thermal system so some amount of material being burnt off the flare accounts for that weird "drip" thing they're doing.

E: lovely snipe aliens real.

I listened to that Event Horizon episode with Avi Loeb and while it's nothing new, I appreciate that there's now some vocal "mainstream" scientists (even if Loeb is a bit of a blacksheep) pushing to get the data out of the hands of intelligence agencies and into those of actual sciencemans - or failing that, they'll do it themselves.

I think this is a plausible scenario. I added some critical details to the timeline:

Phase I - admit UFOs are real

And also ask for more money on space defense spending because we have no idea if they are hostile or not.

Phase II - admit they are not some sort of US secret black ops

And also ask for more money on space defense spending because we have no idea if they are hostile or not.

Phase III - admit they are not China or Russia

And also ask for more money on space defense spending because we have no idea if they are hostile or not.

Phase IV - allow everyone to percolate on the above long enough to do the math for themselves

And also ask for more money on space defense spending because we have no idea if they are hostile or not.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

Honestly, I think if there isn't anything new or high def or remarkable in the report I'm going to stop giving a poo poo about UFOs. It was a fun run but this is definitely a rabbit hole that can really suck you in. Literally nobody gives a poo poo if I give a poo poo about UFOs though and everything is meaningless so I'll probably just start watching the x files or something I heard its good

usually big, world-altering news takes a while for my brain to fully integrate and accept as reality. like the morning after the night the sports died was when covid finally became "real" for me and not a thing from the forums

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
Maybe this whole thing has been to generate chatter and single out individuals who would pose a threat to a smoothly surreptitious takeover by extraterrestrial forces
