A MIRACLE posted:canticle for Leibovitz owned. maybe the last book I really enjoyed reading I’ll check out #2 saint leibowitz and the wild horse woman gets deep into the weeds of the time period a little past fiat lux. it's got a lot of great world building, extremely awkward sexual encounters, mystic hallucinations, and a shitload of politicking. it's a doorstopper at 550+ pages and not an easy read by any means aside from how goddamn weird it is, it's a fascinatingly sad juxtaposition with canticle. walter m. miller jr. lost his faith bad in the intervening years between the two novels, and wild horse woman is darkly critical of the church that canticle held so dear. miller took his own life before the manuscript got to print, so the final chapter had to be ghostwritten, but it fits in well with the tone and writing of the rest of the work. it's just an oddly compelling work of fiction to me for a lot of reasons

the last time i saw something in the sky that i could not explain was in the early 10s. i was on a road trip with my long term partner- we were headed east out of seattle on our way to chinook, mo. i got off of 90 at some point to see some landscape and head a little more northward. i remember getting a tad lost on a res with no cell signal and we wound up at a campground somewhere in very rural northeast washington state. the sun was setting by the time we got in, and we were stoked cause we got a spot right on the edge of what i thought was a river. its river country. im not sure now, and my memory of what the place looked like in the morning daylight is pretty nil, maybe it was the edge of a lake. we see a few groups of folks driving through the campground to the site but its really pretty sparse. anyway after we got set up i headed down the very steep bank to take a dip. i was already crouched down by the time i got to the edge so i just eased myself in and instantly sank into thick vicsous silt up to my thighs. i managed to grasp onto the ledge and pull myself up and back onto the bank. true or not, in the moment it felt like i had just come close to dying in the dumbest way. so i get up after the requisite staring at the stars contemplating saying jesus christ after a scare like that and start heading back up the bank hopped up on adrenaline- i see a very bright white light very low to the ground coming towards me. for the first time since any of this i shout up to my partner "hey hey hey do you see this??" and start scrambling up the bank. i begin to notice the shapes of birds around the edges of the light, quite a few of them, and theyre all very still none of them are flapping their wings. they dont even look like theyre gliding theyre so stiff and linear in their flight. and the light is getting closer and its all completely silent except my partner shouting "what the poo poo!?" a couple of times of course ive been into saucers since i was tiny baby and im always looking up at night. saw some poo poo as a kid this isnt my first rodeo. in the moment i clearly remember thinking "crop duster" but i couldnt make it stick. this is really, really bizarre because of how low it is and how bright. if this was a plane it would be headlights and this isnt shaped like a cone. i would have heard it before i saw it. its a completely silent ball of white light surrounded by the silhouettes of large water fowl sized birds. it flew right over us in a straight line, never perceptively ascending or descending. i watched it unblinking for at least thirty seconds as it approached, flew over, and flew away. if i had been alone i wouldve written it off, but my partner saw the exact same thing and wasnt flooded with fight or flight chemicals. afterwards i was high as a kite elated but the SO was very, extremely unnerved and they basically demanded we get into the tent and sleep immediately. like...very upset and me just being giddy as a school girl was making it way worse it so yeah. so we zip up the tent and i zip up my lip and pass right out.

I have dreams about Browpony sitting devastated in the ruins of it all

Estimated accelerations range from almost 100g to 1000s of gs with no observed air disturbance, no sonic booms, and no evidence of excessive heat commensurate with even the minimal estimated energies. In accordance with observations, the estimated parameters describing the behavior of these craft are both anomalous and surprising. The extreme estimated flight characteristics reveal that these observations are either fabricated or seriously in error, or that these craft exhibit technology far more advanced than any known craft on Earth. The observed flight characteristics of these craft are consistent with the flight characteristics required for interstellar travel, i.e., if these observed accelerations were sustainable in space, then these craft could easily reach relativistic speeds within a matter of minutes to hours and cover interstellar distances in a matter of days to weeks, proper time. https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/10/939/html

If you’re traveling at 1 g (not 100 or 1000 like the UAP’s) you can reach the moon in 2 hours, Mars in 2 days and Pluto in 10 days. now multiply all of that by 100 or 1000. That makes Pluto a day trip, and the nearest star system would be reachable in 6 months (ship time, on earth it would be 8 years) PawParole has issued a correction as of 08:47 on Jun 8, 2021 |

quote:An important role of the USS Princeton is to act as air defense protection for the strike group. The Princeton was equipped with the SPY-1 radar system which provided situational awareness of the surrounding airspace. The main incident occurred on 14 November 2004, but several days earlier, radar operators on the USS Princeton were detecting UAPs appearing on radar at about 80,000+ feet altitude to the north of CSG11 in the vicinity of Santa Catalina and San Clemente Islands. Senior Chief Kevin Day informed us that the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) radar systems had detected the UAPs in low Earth orbit before they dropped down to 80,000 feet [23]. The objects would arrive in groups of 10 to 20 and subsequently drop down to 28,000 feet with a several hundred foot variation, and track south at a speed of about 100 knots [23]. Periodically, the UAPs would drop from 28,000 feet to sea level (estimated to be 50 feet), or under the surface, in 0.78 s. Without detailed radar data, it is not possible to know the acceleration of the UAPs as a function of time as they descended to the sea surface. However, one can estimate a lower bound on the acceleration, by assuming that the UAPs accelerated at a constant rate halfway and then decelerated at the same rate for the remaining distance as in (2) and (3). lmao casually pulling ~5950g on the interstellar offramp, no big deal. I want to see what the alien teenagers are whipping around.
