accurate. i feel like if they were like "yup, there's aliens visiting, here's irrefutable proof" you'd get maybe half a week of blanket coverage, a month of increasingly poo poo thinkpieces, and then people would just sort of move on to the next thing. then in december when everyone's doing 2021 retrospectives people would be like "woah crazy, remember when we found out aliens are here?" "haha forgot about this! wild" and a lot of "this was fake imho"

Imo if the US armed forces come out going "whoa what are these things? Are they aliens or Chinese drones, nobody knows!" Theyr definitely US drones That's if there's anything there at all and it's not just psyops to make Americans even more deranged and confused

 2017quote:"We've been saying hypersonics is two years away for the last 20 years, but all I can say is the technology is mature and we, along with DARPA and the services, are working hard to get that capability into the hands of our warfighters as soon as possible," Rob Weiss, Lockheed Martin's executive vice president and general manager for Skunk Works, told Aviation Week. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/sr-72-darkstar-mach-6-spy-plane-we-arent-sure-real-184251 quote:In 2017, Lockheed Martin had announced that the SR-72 would be in development by the early 2020s and could be in service by the early 2030s, but a year later it was announced that progress had been slow going based on the technological demands of the project. 2 days ago https://www.defensenews.com/training-sim/2021/05/27/us-navy-conducts-first-live-fire-test-of-hypersonic-missile-motor/ and thats what theyre telling us, so obviously they've got hypersonic drones buzzing around

D&D's always been like a junior in college talking way too much about a class they took there is a bit of an online belief vortex right now, mostly based on hashtag ufotwitter, that preys online ppls inate wish for novelty and alien sightings. and there is a faction of posters who seem to get incredulous when its implied its impossible for the uaps to be possibly aliens because its literally an unfalsifiable position at this stage.

Russia, the USA and probably China and some allied nations have functioning hypersonic armaments. Trump basically admitted that's what the USA used to kill that Iranian general last year.

Hypersonic is whatever The hovering and stopping on a dime ans poo poo though, and submerging I mean, gently caress, how can the bureaucracy that did f22 make that poo poo

hypersonic poo poo is just like our current poo poo but faster, it's not magical turn on a dime and go underwater stuff. It doesn't even match some of the reported speeds of these things.

Can confirm, RE: phones can't record anything in the sky for poo poo. I had the presence of mind to try and record when I saw them over north central texas, and all i got was some grainy out of focus footage of some dots of light moving. I showed my dad, assuming his conspiratorial mind would take it on faith i wasn't full of poo poo, but I never bothered preserving it or showing anyone else because I knew this dogshit footage was nothing more than a lovely facsimile of what I witnessed, and didn't have enough information to convince a skeptic, which is like the only reason to record that poo poo in my eyes.

It doesn't even match some of the reported speeds of these things. the part that really gets me is hovering silently then zipping off at high speed. i mean, if Lockheed announced tomorrow that they have something that can do it, I wouldn't bat an eye, but there's plenty of evidence that there's been something out there for decades that can do it and it's still somehow a secret.

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.

Inspector Hound posted:Yeah I don't really get how anything other than aliens matches the possibly enormous window of time people have seen these a pet theory i have is that it was some kind of soviet technology that requires some insane quantity of extremely rare materials that prevented mass production. the us military got their hands on prototypes during the dissolution of the soviet union, or maybe earlier, but without the scientists who understood the theoretical framework that made it work, as they either bought it from some admiral or submarine captain who just happened to have physical possession of it at the time or grabbed it after it crashed. in this theory, they've been using "aliens" as a convenient cover to avoid giving it back like whenever some eastern bloc pilot would defect during the cold war with whatever newest mig they'd been flying that day. it's the only real explanation i can come up with that isn't "something from somewhere else"

There's stuff at least as far back as the 1800s that credibly fits the model of modern UFO reports. Even much earlier, depending on how much you want to stretch things. It's just that the 19th/20th century was really the first time that people decided to start thinking that weird poo poo in the sky was aliens.

I understand it as an aesthetic and a protest to instrumental rationality, but it seems like people really believe it and have for a while. i think it's a logical next step for the big section of millenials and younger who described themselves as "spiritual but not religious". essentially, they perceive mystical / paranormal / religious things to be happening but have mainstream organized religion so they lack that framework under which older generations would have placed it. going in for astrology and/or other kinds of witchy / folky / wiccany beliefs gives a framework in which to organize what they already believe to be happening. and as trite as it may be to say in the ufo thread, people really do want to believe. it gives a lot of psychological comfort to have a coherent framework through which to process our chaotic and unpredictable world.

I don't know how old you are but as an early-30s goon I can confirm that a lot of my peers got hard into that stuff, my best guess is that it lets people lie to themselves about having some semblance of control over their lives in an uncaring, harsh universe like if I could convince myself that reading the stars would tell me what my future holds i'd be out there fuckin' star charts all night every night edit: guy above me did it better
