what's funny is the US and probably china/Russia are working on supercavitating subs so they can move supplies and people around at 100+ knots underwater

so can anyone give a quick rundown of why this being secret domestic tech that got accidentally revealed to lower-level flunkies is implausible? tia

TheLemonOfIchabod posted:so can anyone give a quick rundown of why this being secret domestic tech that got accidentally revealed to lower-level flunkies is implausible? tia None of the videos show images consistent with physical objects moving as detected or described. There's no heat or friction with the atmosphere or heat coming off of the objects, which means that they can't be objects or that they aren't actually doing what they appear to do. They will most likely be determined to be effects created by the limitations of the camera sensors and eyewitnesses not accurately understanding what they were actually seeing. This thread is a lot of fun and I love ufo discussions and culture, but if you're looking for a real answer, that's it.

thanks all. I roughly understand the giant leap in technical capabilities that would be required to replicate these movements, but I think "it's been 50/70/maybe thousands of years" is going to be more convincing to the person I am trying to convince that aliens are real and they want to eat his organs.

I am putting on a lense of pretending to know jts aliens, and viewing this incremental dispersion and altering of attitudes as exactly how humans would handle sudden, inexplicable footage of them. And to honest, if real alien probes ever appeared on Earth, this is the kind of tension between denial and confusion one would expect from humans in response.

I find it harder to believe it's a sensor problem when multiple vehicles and multiple types of sensors are showing something. I gotta think if you master FTL you can do something about atmospheric friction

Shear Modulus posted:What's the mechanism that the camera gets a lock on it anyway? Is it a radar lock? Some kind of IR tracking? I definitely don't know, I just know the pilot and gunner/other guy kind of whooped and celebrated when it locked on, implying a combination of human skill and getting the mechanical thing to lock on to the flying loving thing I can't find it, I remember the guy operating the camera says he "boxed" it, but my combat flying experience is mostly in battlefield 4

WEH posted:But it wasn't just his equipment that was seeing it where it was I would definitely trust targeting sensors over my own eyes when it comes to judging how far away something is, even if both can be confused. Plus, it's very easy to convince yourself that you are in fact seeing what your equipment tells you you're seeing--it's just a split-second thing that requires zero conscious thought. I know it's not sexy in the least, but it's most likely the case. There's zero reason to think that aliens or hyper-advanced craft that can go anywhere and see anything would just happen to hang out right at the raggedy edge of what current sensors are capable of understanding--it's much more likely an effect of the sensors having blind spots and limitations that create the effects that we see. I don't dispute that eyewitnesses also saw things they couldn't identify, but they had no way of knowing what it was. This has generally been true of camera technology as it changes and improves: in the 90s and 2000s, you had rods and orbs showing up in interlaced video that was new at that time, the first digital cameras caught tons of ufos that just happened to look exactly like the apertures inside the cameras under lighting conditions that would make the apertures visible etc, and now that the technology has improved, rods and orbs are unheard of and we're getting sensor ghost craft right where sensor ghosts on current-gen equipment would appear.
