They don't grow crops there anymore. Possibly because of contamination, possibly because of bankruptcy. I don't know. Dad sleeps in a bed nowadays, which is lame.

lol if you think the US military have these super advanced new physics types of propulsion, without doing nothing with it except confuse people for decades.

lol if you think any military does.

They commissioned a report on how they might possibly work and the best they came up with was "uh maybe plasma and general relativity stuff i dunno :shrug: "

The military just barely funds even mundane stuff like the Polywell reactor, because they have bombs to build and people to kill. They don't have time to invent new physics.

I seriously don't understand the aversion to saying "the people who say they got abducted are almost all lying" because that's what's going on there it's no loving mystery and we don't need to dig for alternative plausible theories.

Sure maybe 99% of abductions are people lying for attention or to sell books, but that still leaves a lot of abductees whose stories can only be explained by mental illness or sleep paralysis. So what about, uhhh... oh.

My grandma claimed to have seen an honest to goodness UFO in the late 50's that looked like a cigar shaped thing in the night sky.
She swore up and down it wasn't a blimp but who the gently caress knows it was probably just a blimp grandma come on.

She was a cool lady tho and normally intelligent and not prone to making poo poo up so who the gently caress knows what she saw

Keep lying to yourself if it helps you sleep at night. Didn't you see it take off to the left at impossible speeds? I mean unless the plane shooting the film suddenly turned to the right, but the military doesn't have the technology to turn planes side to side.

When I was a kid I thought someone threw one of those spiral nerf footballs over the roof of the rowhouses behind me but that fuckin thing just kept going until I couldn't see it anymore. Maybe it was a UFO or maybe it was a nerf football thrown by someone who was really really really strong.

Got a link to the video(s)?
The ones ive seen just show the usual blurry bullshit that could be anything, or a dot moving in a straight line.

They're only really interesting in the context of the eyewitness accounts and radar tracking that go along with them.

Flir has at least 4 pilots who flew around with the object, weeks worth of unusual radar tracking and then the infra-red video.

Gimbal is associated with radar stuff, including a set of smaller objects that flew around in a v formation that is mentioned in the audio, assumed to be the cube-inside-a-sphere objects eye-witnessed multiple times by pilots around the time.

GoFast is the most impressive looking but based on the instruments in the video the object is likely moving slowly much closer to the jet than it seems, although it's still not entirely explainable and was taken either the same day as Gimbal or very close to.

Anybody can make a video clip in an hour, video alone doesn’t prove anything even if it shows a UFO stop and come in for a closeup.

What is noteworthy is that the video is almost certainly real: it documents events with many witnesses and supporting instrument data, and was reviewed by the Pentagon without finding any evidence of fabrication or instruments not in agreement. The whole encounter is the big deal, not just the infrared video.

Thanks for the link, fairly sure ive seen those.

This is what gets me about this stuff - a lot of people have a lot of stories and say we captured this amazing stuff on camera, then the footage shows nothing extraordinary at all, but 'hey totally believe us we only released the boring bit of the tape for some reason'.

If you claim you've got the good stuff on tape you better show it or im not going to believe anything you say.

One sectoid skull. A charred snakeman torso segment. Anything.

Having said that my best guess as to what some of these things are is some type of electronic warfare projection that can create a radar and/or visual image using lasers or something and some guy is sitting at his desk moving his mouse around making it look like its doing phsically impossible things. The rest are probably aliens.
