quote:The report determines that the vast majority of more than 120 incidents over the past two decades did not originate from any American military or other advanced U.S. government technology, the officials said. That determination would appear to eliminate the possibility that Navy pilots who reported seeing unexplained aircraft might have encountered programs the government meant to keep secret. hopefully there are a bunch of deets about the other incidents that they will share. even if its the same vague stuff, it would be interesting to build a larger list.

 from https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1475-7516/2007/01/020 edit: i think the graph says the future radio telescope the square kilometer array would be able to hear the equivalent of earth's military radars at 100 parsecs out

If there was a planet identical to earth around alpha centuri blasting rock and roll into space 24/7 we would not know unless both their emitter and our detector aligned perfectly. also, aliens don’t pay for poo poo so blasting data into space is something that makes no sense.

It boggles my mind that a "the military can't control our airspace" narrative hasn't developed around this, because let's say that everything happening here is strictly terrestrial and that it isn't US tech, that means that someone (basically Russia or China) is operating in our airspace with absolute impunity and the military is saying "what ya gonna do?"

That tweet is kind of silly because the only reason we listen for radio is that we don’t really have anything else to look for. Criticizing it as a strategy implies there are others. I think when James Webb goes up later this year, it will try to read the atmospheres of extrasolar planets, which is better.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:This is false. The US alone has sent like 10: ah rad, thanks! - and this is neat: quote:The transmissions took place in October 2017 and May 2018 from the 32 m EISCAT antenna in Tromsø, Norway operating at ≈930 MHz with 1.5 MW transmitting power and bit rates of 62.5 to 500 bps. The music was encoded as uncompressed PCM; due to the low bandwidth each piece was only 10 s long and sampled with 8 kHz, 8 bit, mono.[10] The message will take approximately 12.4 Earth years to arrive at its destination, making a potential reply arrive in time for Sónar's 50th anniversary in 2043.

None of them are targeted at planets and they aren’t strong enough to not degrade to zero by the time they reach it.

if that one guy didn't explode himself trying to shoot into space to prove that the earth is flat, I would have said flat-earthers were all just ironically larping for fun. mudflood is the same sort of thing in terms of the credulity required, although no one's died trying to excavate the atlantean civilization under san francisco or chicago or whatever, as far as I know.

I ask because I want to know about these mudflood people and wtf the "mudflood" is I hadn't heard about this until I saw a mention of it, so I am absolutely not qualified to do a writeup, but based on this quote, I sure hope someone else does: quote:A general synopsis of this theory is that within the last 100-1000 years, civilization was reset and humanity lost much of its knowledge and many advanced technologies Because that sounds just loving bonkers and I'm already in love

pancake rabbit posted:the phantom time hypothesis is another one of my off the wall insane favs i learned about this specific thing the other day and found it fascinating. some of their evidence centered around a theory newton had about why there was a hiccup in the scheduling of celestial events, i even read through a few bits of his writing about it but I've always found his writing to be pretty impenetrable. i get the distinct impression he was just the gooniest motherfucker alive at the time, and could totally see him latching onto something weird like his projections not lining up. i didn't spend much time digging into whether he was right, and whether there was any explanation for the error. it seems like one of those things that would be glaringly obvious but after a casual glance didn't see a lot of chatter about it elsewhere. edit: i found the theory itself fascinating because i could totally see someone doing date conversions just tossing in a lil adjustment, but i found all of the evidence less believable than the hair brained theory lmao
