there's some guy on youtube whose videos occasionally get posted in the forums and he's tried to show how all of the recent video releases that are mentioned in the OP are visual artifacts arising from known limitations and errors in modern military and avionic systems

If you watch the video a couple of pilots specifically say they made visual contact as well.

It's interesting that it seems like the contacts only started happening after sensor upgrades, whether or not it just means the tech is seeing ghosts.

Please note that I have always thought of alien encounters as a combination of night terrors and the logical progression of 19th century people that thought they were seeing fairies.

Also lmao if Marco Rubio is the one that finds the aliens

IF (that's a big if) the government knows more about this than they're letting on, the current media strategy sure does seem like the ideal way to slow roll an announcement.

But then again if there are aliens and pmurt knew there's no chance in hell it would have stayed secret.

In summation, aliens don't exist until they do, and humans should stop clenching their assholes about it because it makes the probing way more unpleasant for everyone involved.

I want star trek aliens. I know some folks want Independence Day aliens because they can't handle the thought of not being America to the whole universe


I suspect if we get any aliens though it's gonna be the roadside picnic sort that don't even care that we're here

they're just studying cloud formations or some poo poo on the way to a cooler species' planet

I think the odds of getting the Ferengi are better than the odds of getting the Vulcans.

Why is this all of the sudden acceptable popular news again after having been relegated to the fringe for half a century

And I've never been an x-files or want to believe type. But anyone that understands how media strategies work would be at least a little bit sketched.

I like that theory because it presumes people actually need to be distracted from climate change. Half this country thinks climate change is a conspiracy and the other half is content to let Democrats and their corporate backers dictate the response.

China perfected the EM drive

That's really the rub of it. If China has a working EM/propulsionless drive there are a lot bigger things to worry about (from the Pentagon's standpoint) than some spy drones, and they sure wouldn't be declassifying anything about it (or publicly encouraging it's pilots to report sightings).

Delta-Wye posted:

the most interesting acceleration is recorded with the radar, and most of those crazy m/s or m/s^2 values are based on a single object going from low altitude to high altitude but there are lots of easier explanations. if they are artificial radar targets that can be enabled/disabled (say, quickly reconfigure their shape to change the response) several going on/off at the right rate would confuse the operator who would see one object displace a large distance in a short amount of time. lots of more abstract EW approaches too, ofc.

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/29505/the-navys-secretive-nemesis-electronic-warfare-capability-will-change-naval-combat-forever

suspiciously, none of the (official) videos show that crazy of movement to me

The instance of a pilot being told to divert to specific coordinates and the "object" instantly disappearing and reappearing on an AEGIS radar 60 miles away at the coordinates the pilot was ordered to seems a little crazy. I mean at some point occam's razor comes into play here.

Edit: just to be clear I don't believe, nor do I really want to, we've got enough dumb poo poo going on right now

That's the thing, right?

You've got the same descriptions over the course of decades from multiple air forces, civilians, types of aircraft, cameras, infrared, flight radar, ground radar, ship radar, visual contact, etc.

Occam's Razor comes into play at some point here imo.
