interesting, iirc the classic "top UFO speed" has usually been billed at like 9,000 mph and using that figure Jacques Vallee calculated decades back that they'd require (assuming they're some physical vehicle) the energy equivalent of one nuclear reactor

Yeah if this poo poo is actually real it implies an understanding of physics we haven't even begun to ape at or demon magic, maybe both?

the beauty is if its real, we'll just keep getting more and more solid evidence. in the soft disclosure explanation, it seems like rolling out every so slightly more convincing evidence bit-by-bit so you can "flatten" the panic curve is the approach underway :shrug: other than being hard to believe on it's face, lots of things happening appear to point that way.

I'm thinking how the US government has responded to the past few crises it has faced, doing stuff like saying masks aren't necessary for COVID since the US didn't have enough masks. if they are slowly revealing stuff to the public to prevent panic, they have definitely already surrendered to the aliens.

the breakdown of the puerto rico ufo is pretty fun, they make a reasonable guess for the effects you'd expect from a gravity drive of some kind and then inspect the video for evidence.

if this is all a psyop to get more spaceforce funding, isn't this the stupidest loving psyop of all time? if the capabilities of the craft in question were completely fabricated and david fravor et al are all actors, why the hell would they go with speeds like 10,000 mph? any sober analysis of the situation would bring one to the conclusion that if these entities (chinese, russian, extra terrestrial) meant the USA harm, they would be completely bent over. like even doubling the pentagon's budget and given 500 years and the luck of multiple physics breakthroughs, they still might not come up with anything that could compete. how is that the gambit that you propose to be given more money, of all things?

one of my bull session hypotheses was that if UFOS and their inhabitants are extraterrestrials, then they are some of the last of their kind, effectively refugees just hiding on or around Earth and only peeking out when they need something

ok ok i want the UAPs to be hosed up angels that claim divine origin and have voices like The Darkness

either that or they’re some kind of probes from higher dimensional bulk space that aren’t actually breaking the laws of physics with their acceleration and poo poo they just appear to for us

in the summer of 1999 i saw a ball of lightning come into my home.

i was laying on my bed which was also formerly a porch, now enclosed. My bed faced long ways, to my left and right were doors into the house and onto the new porch, beyond that a chair facing a television on a wooden center and beyond that half a pingpong table and a desk chair used for our house computer, i could see out the far window

as i laid off trying to drift off on an extremely hot summer night, i was startled up standing on my bed suddenly as every hair on my body stood up and my heart began to race and in front of me, from the back side of the wooden entertainment center a bright blue and white light emitted from the back of the television and like a ghost a pulsing glowing blue orb began to form in front of it, it slowly traveled from one side of the room, vanishing into the wall. i rushed towards my door to open it into the kitchen and dining room but there was nothing there. i realized then the power was out in the entire house and the microwave beeping to life when suddenly powered again made me flee back to my bed.

i still lay awake at night wondering what that was, but i believe it was either a real ball lightning or swamp gas. i did live in a swamp.
