aliens gave their technology to the chinese and the chinese are now owning us with transmaterial drones. this dump is the government breaking the news to us that they got so owned

i don't think the Chinese/Russians need alien technology to build drones that can mess with American sensors. Both countries are years if not a decade ahead of the US in terms of electronic warfare.

The whole thing just stinks of the US government being embarrassed that they can't effectively control their own airspace and coming up with aliens as an excuse.

I get sleep paralysis fairly regularly (maybe twice a month) and eventually you just sort of get used to it, like "oh I guess hands are gonna come out of the ceiling and hold me down while the room fills with eyes again tonight, that's not great" but with some practice you can snap out of it, the trick is to get really really angry

if you're in bed with someone you might also consider tapping SOS on them if you can get your fingers to move, i've had that work before too

I usually hallucinated a gray alien standing in the corner of the room back when I had sleep paralysis episodes. It didn't do anything, just stood there and watched.

What a weirdo.

Frigging plasma laser pointer
https://www.wired.com/2007/05/plasma-laser-uf/
Researchers working with high-power laser weapons discovered that they could create a glowing ball of fire in the sky by crossing the beams of two powerful infrared lasers…By moving the laser beams around the sky, the researchers found they could shift the plasma ball back and forth at very high speed…. At night, they demonstrated their skills, flying their glowing creations in formation high above the cold desert.

This is from a 2007 article pointing back to a report/info from the 1980s. And it fits these reports precisely. If I was a gambling man, I would put everything on this being the occurrences.


Wouldn't the infrared laser beam show up as pillars of light on NVGs, though?

Large numbers of persistent rumors imply that the military has been reverse engineering UFOs, some with recovered materials and others given technology. Every time I read about the NGAD I can't help but think "the sport model?" Perhaps a random clue to "why now?"

The NGAD p. clearly has traditional jet engines tho:

Wheeee posted:

to the idea that this entire thing is just some stupid poo poo that should be brushed aside since obviously it doesn't matter and is just fairy tales for babbies who didn't become mechanical engineers, i posit the following most boring plausible explanation, of course in my opinion:

America and/or Russia and/or China has, and has had for some time, extremely closely guarded secret technology capable of spoofing or otherwise manipulating radar and other sensors, and the pilot eyewitness reports given thus far are fabricated, exaggerated, or mistaken for any reason.

If this is the case, this sidesteps any questions of physics-challenging movement that would signal implausible technological leaps or non-human intelligence, and instead should raise significant alarm in the context of nuclear weapon warning and tracking systems and the manipulation thereof. Additionally, as noted earlier in the thread, the expected results of the forthcoming UAP report will be a perfect justification for the first step toward increased intelligence surveillance and militarization of space.

You're sort of right:

quote:

NEMESIS is not just some 'paper program.' From publicly available, but obscure documents we've collected, it's clear that, for years, the Navy has been developing and integrating multiple types of unmanned vehicles, shipboard and submarine systems, countermeasures and electronic warfare payloads, and communication technologies to give it the ability to project what is, in essence, phantom fleets of aircraft, ships, and submarines. These realistic-looking false signatures and decoys have the ability to appear seamlessly across disparate and geographically separated enemy sensor systems located both above and below the ocean's surface. As a result, this networked and cooperative electronic warfare concept brings an unprecedented level of guileful fidelity to the fight. It's not just about disrupting the enemy's capabilities or confusing them at a command and control level, but also about making their sensors tell them the same falsehoods across large swathes of the battlespace.

Ancestral Puebloan. They have lots of decedents in the area and it turns out asking the people who killed them what their name is wasn't the smartest first move. (Anasazi means "ancient enemy," or possibly "enemy ancestors" in Navajo; the latter perhaps reflecting the fact that peaceful relations were achieved after the initial conflict due to the Dene migration into the area).

I have a vague memory of seeing the edge of a large disc sliding behind a cloud one morning before school and once saw a bunch of lights move oddly in the night sky when I was 20. A friend of mine swears he saw a black triangle back when he was 15.

Remote viewing seems to have big problems with showing text and numbers (so no way to e.g. get nuke launch codes that way), so people trying to make a buck with it had to find ways around that - like in this experiment where they tried predicting the stock market with RV:

Interestingly, numbers and text are also very unclear (as in they change when ever the dreamer looks away and back again) in lucid dreams as well iirc. Fun coincidence.

Edit: oh lol someone already mentioned it. NEVER MIND.
Edit 2: I think mirrors are similarly broken in dreams too. Light switches and electrical equipment in general also don't work like they're supposed to, making light switches an excellent method of doing a reality check in dreams.

When I experienced night terrors, this was one of the ways I could tell I was dreaming. Light switches and fan chains not doing anything

It’s bizarre how consistent this is. You’d think that the human mind could simulate things that have been part of the individual’s day to day existence throughout their whole life, but no.

I tend find details of all sorts loose coherency in dreams once I focus on them. Similarly, when I try to have an intensional (lucid) conversation, the dream will frequently turn into a static image, fade, and I wake up.

Too much awareness seems bad for a ripping time flying around with a light saber

I should really get back into lucid dreaming, the few times I succeeded were rad as hell.

I gave the first Gateway tape a go, and while I didn't go flying through the astral plane, it definitely did something. When the countdown near the end finished, my closed eyes started moving rapidly like I was dreaming. I also felt a kind of light anxiety for some reason.

Maybe it was just weird coincidence, but it was pretty interesting nonetheless. Didn't see any odd rooms or anything like that, just random shapes and colors.

I think I'll continue with these, they seem like a fun way to relax if nothing else.
