I think all this stuff is interesting and UFOs are fun to talk about. But I think all the stuff with aliens is bullshit, but I've always been way into all the folklore around UFOs and alien abductions because I'm a gigantic nerd. I just finished reading Whitley Strieber's Communion and and half way through the sequel he wrote to that. I blame the X-Files and the popularity of all the shows about alien abductions that were all the rage in the 90s.

Julius CSAR posted:Dude, the lens on the pod doesn't rotate or move independently. The lens cover is just that, a lens cover. It's colored funny because of the types of light and the senor it is protecting, but otherwise it's just a piece of glass. You actually posted a gif of a FLIR pod where you can see the lens cover not rotating lmao. Try this. Look at your christmas tree/a small light/whatever and squint your eyes until the bulbs get that same flare-y burst thing happening (does that make sense? It's a weird thing to articulate and it doesn't work with super dry eyes), then slightly cock your head left and right around an imaginary axis that runs from the tip of your nose through the back of your head. What happens to the little visual flares when you do a simple rotation of the lenses you're seeing them through? They shift relative to the lens, not the object producing light. That's what I was pointing out. Julius CSAR posted:Dude, fighter pilots can absolutely identify aircraft from that far away lol. Well not this one because we don't know what it is.... What are you even arguing about apart from how many cool pilots you totally know that are just out of frame, laughing too? Do you have a central assertion? My only stance in this thread is 'aliens is a dumb answer' and you're taking it really loving hard somehow. Yes, some weird poo poo was documented. I don't think it's some extraterrestrial situation because that seems dumb as hell to me personally. I'm certain each one is something military, or some anomaly that would be perfectly explicable if only we had better information (which we don't). Could be some side-eyed misinformation flex for Russia. Could be a weird-rear end PR campaign to drum up interest in STEM fields. Could be a tangle of lobbyists and Naval brass working together to push through some new thing and these optics help somehow. Could be anything but aliens. Ratios and Tendency posted:You're confusing Fravor's account and the flir video again. Fravor and the 3 other pilots got within a km or 2 of the object and saw it directly. Why are you arguing so surely when you haven't even read up properly? You're totally right, I have avs off on my phone and mistook your thing for something else

Ratios and Tendency posted:This is vague, hand-wavy garbage the metabunk dudes need to be true since their analysis relies on ignoring the eyewitnesses. 4 different people saw it. 11 different men testified to seeing the Golden Plates delivered by Joseph Smith Prophet of God. Some men eventually left the Mormon church, but never denied what they saw. This was in like 1834 or some poo poo, when people should have known better.

I've seen 5. I documented the case back in 1996 in newsgroups. Something like alt.paranet.ufo. I used to be able to Google it and get it when it was still archived by Google. Anyway someone picked it up and posted it on a webpage. So I still have it for posterity. http://www.ufoinfo.com/sightings/usa/961010.shtml "There was this V shaped ghost type object simply floating overhead very slow, making no sound whatsoever. It appeared to be somehow almost cloaked, foggy, or ghost-like. We were able to see stars on the other side. The object was distinctly in shape of a V somewhat tapered at the ends, but whatever it was, it wasn't aerodynamic and had no possible way to "fly" at the rate of velocity at which it was passing." I didn't draw this. I found it on Google images:  That's nice that the government acknowledges UFOs are real, but by far the most compelling evidence I've seen yet is Bob Lazar. Element 115 etc etc. There was a documentary last year on him. His compound was raided by the FBI during the shooting of it. If you want a nice summary of the documentary watch the Joe Rogan interview.

The Phoenix Lights were an interesting case because it's like, okay, I'm willing to concede that this isn't an extraterrestrial spaceship- so what is it? Oh, geese illuminated by streetlights? And these streetlights would be facing the sky, as we all know streetlights do? In the face of absolute bullshit explanations like this, suddenly aliens from another planet are much more plausible. The idea that it's government technology (ours or theirs?) has more credence than aliens- but it's also predicated on the notion that there is a "secret" level of high technology that exists on Earth and is used militarily. Of course the military would need a huge budget for this and it's easier to say mundane poo poo like "oh yeah this screwdriver cost $40,000 and creates jobs in Iowa" as opposed to funding skunk works because they're not accountable to anyone anyway. This is actually somewhat believable to me- probably moreso than aliens visiting Earth and keeping their presence an open secret- because there is far more money to be made by issuing "advances" in technology piecemeal to fully reap the economic benefits of planned obsolescence, and also the fact that the lives of the great unwashed just aren't worth improving to the powers that be.

Regardless of any other beliefs you may hold --which is completely fine-- please don't ever take anything Bob Lazar has ever said as truth. He is a con man and conspiracy peddler. The 'raid' on his 'compound' was the police requesting records regarding the sale of a chemical through his business, which was evidence in a criminal trial (of a third party). If memory serves they didn't even have to serve a warrant-- they asked to look around and were invited in. He's a crank shithead.

If you think Rogan threw him softballs or is too "credulous" then you've already shut yourself off to the evidence. I'm sure you'll find this highly objectionable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpN5PjOxHbo Body language reading is pretty retarded and the guy who makes the video is kind of too, but if you listen to what he says and get past his goofiness.

I found John Lear compelling when I was young and gullible but it's clear that some people are just really good at bullshitting. If you have had an older relative who enjoyed having an audience you can see how some people are just gifted at spinning a yarn and tying up all the loose ends with their storytelling like he was. I'm also reminded of that goon who claimed to be an alien and met people at a bar to answer questions and he had extremely good reasoning to everything that was asked. Didn't mean he was an alien, just that he was quick on his feet. I first heard of Bob Lazar while reading the Jim Marrs book 'Alien Agenda' which is full of crap but was a compelling read to my 12 year old brain. And there's a kernel of truth somewhere there and the fun part is trying to deduce what is and isn't fake, like the House on the Rock (almost all of it is fake). I might watch some of the Rogan thing because I'm a masochist and he is just dumb enough to ask the right questions sometimes.

If you want to further that point he also ran a brothel at some point if I'm not mistaken. He's always been doing "crank" wacky poo poo. Rocket cars etc. Someone who might be easily discredited if they did go public. They've got records of him working at Los Alamos from the phone book. What of element 115? That was pretty creative to have only been proven existing in 2005. Or the fact that his employment history during that time is completely erased from his social security. If they were willing to erase his records from the file cabinets of the Social Security office, what would have stopped them from walking into MIT and Cal Tech and pulling them from them?
