99% sure its crazy brain poo poo but I've weirdly been waiting for this to happen and a lot of recent ufo stuff has odd parallels with some deeply personal experiences and events and environment/circumstance defies a lot of explanations. I have never had a taste for ufo stuff outside of a brief time in the late 90s as a kiddo but idk I've been waiting for disclosure personally or broadly for a while now

same, I used to watch Sightings on the Sci Fi channel and then the dude from that show became the newsman on mah teevee but oddly enough since he stopped doing that i stopped caring about little green men (until recently)

Also Bob Lazar is a transparent charlatan who realized that he seemed like a stereotypical engineer nerd and decided to run with it. The idea that you could do a Ph.D. in the 70s at MIT and not have people remember you is ridiculous. Did the military erase every photo, or every publication with his name on it. His major professor was just sworn to absolute secrecy?

Bob Lazar thought he saw a UFO in a hangar at a secret military lab, bit it was only the planet Venus.

yeah, if you tortured the average dominos employee dude and stole away his adopted niece and gave his best friend cancer, I don't think they would be off the DM-5.

the fact that redditors think this is a larp because the aliens didn't tell him about the super-secret science makes it even more believable. how many biologists tell sharks they catch about how motors work?

It would have been nice if the poster could actually communicate consistently, like how there are either thousands or millions of inhabited planets but only seven (7) precisely have any religion. Or maybe talk more about the interesting stuff (like the experience with the technology, what they watched the videos on, how they got onto the ship, what the aliens looked like), instead of their own mental health problems (join the club).

That's what makes it good folklore. It has to be weird and the lines connecting discrete parts of it have to be obscured or leave a lot to the reader's imagination. The part about religion and religious experiences and deja vu somehow being key to understanding the nature of the universe, which is a simulation but isn't because the aliens are certain that's not the right way to describe it even if they can't do a better job, is so weird and unexpected that it's 100% perfect as something that sticks in your mind as you try to resolve it into sense. That's the aesthetic experience of the sublime and I love it.

It definitely doesn't help the cause of understanding what the gently caress these things actually are when people who clearly seem to be having mental health issues, or just straight up making things up, are the heroes carrying the torch. Every time somebody gets attention for saying crazy, unverifiable stuff that makes for intriguing fiction, it's one step backward for taking a scientific approach to the subject. "Oh, I can't remember what the actual name of the aliens is, but here's what it translates to" yeah okay.

If these UAPs or UFOs or whatever are actually aliens like they seem to be, I want to know. I think people deserve to know. Maybe there's some fun to be had along the way but intentionally providing bad data, or poo poo data, upsets me :(

I think 95% of abduction stories are probably just sleep paralysis experienced by somebody who doesn't know what it is and can't explain it. Just like 95% of UFO sightings are just the planet Venus.

Alright fine since this is exactly what's wrong with the discussion: where does the US government say UFOs are real? I assume we are talking space alien UFOs here. Where did this come from? Let's not talk old presidents on talk shows, let's talk official sources.

Edit:gently caress it, why not. Quote Obama saying UFOs are real. Word to word and give the source. I'm engaging because this is ridiculous enough.
Quoth Obungler:

"What is true, and I'm actually being serious here, is that there are, there's footage and records of objects in the skies, that we don't know exactly what they are. We can't explain how they moved, their trajectory. They did not have an easily explainable pattern. And so, you know, I think that people still take seriously trying to investigate and figure out what that is."

He said that in May on James Cordon's show go watch it on fuckin yootoob

Nobody said it's aliens yet but they say it's not us and it probably isn't Russia or China all the time. Whether you want to believe the DoD is another issue but they are saying this for some reason.

Russia and China have been violating US airspace with impunity for 70 years, disabling nukes and generally causing all kinds of havoc with tech 100 to 1000 years more advanced than the US, and anybody who reported it was drummed out of the military and forced to go on History Channel shows talking about how Skinny Bob built the pyramids to pay the mortgage.

you think that video displays evidence of a UFO showing physics breaking flight?

e: i dont expect the true beleivers to change their minds but if you're on the fence its worth a watch, its 60 seconds long and remember this is one of the most compelling peices of video evidence they claim to have

Lue Elizondo has said the three videos that have been released are the "least compelling" so we'll see if there's more soon hopefully.

UFOs are actually just airborne clutter, sometimes including disks 15-20m in diameter, bell shaped objects or brightly lit orbs. We have filed these under a catch-all "other" category with the birds and plastic bags.
