Too bad I have no idea how to reliably quantify "ufo sightings" cuz it would be cool to compare that number that to the number of nuclear tests historically Maybe they're just mad that a few fusion bombs going off now and again closes the interdimentional doorway to our local area of spacetime or whatever

youd for i posted:https://www.uaptheory.com/ Huh they mentioned gravitational lensing leading to the Einstein Cross (one object duplicated into several). Their whole theory is a gravitational weirdness engine moving the UAP around. And the tic-tac was spotted above a cross-shaped section of agitated water. Now I wonder if it was just normal-shaped water but lensed around to cross-shape...and oh poo poo I'm down the rabbit hole.

The gravity drive hypothesis is pretty compelling, and they do have some "data" to suggest such a fanciful piece of technology. If it's not a psyop, I'll buy that they're Von Neumann probes that run using gravy drives. Edit: lmao gravy drives mycomancy has issued a correction as of 05:01 on Jun 10, 2021 |

We (sans govt hypothetically) don't monitor local space to the degree you've potentially got in mind, and also actively have countermeasures to filter out all the human bs that is already there so that meaningful science or w/e can be done. Astronomers have seen weird poo poo for ages, but usually whatever it is (not incorrectly overall, imo) has been written off as natural phenomena. Stuff like the giant black triangles make less sense in that calculus, but the vast majority of the sightings seem to rely on visible light, which isn't to my understanding used all that much vs all the other available wavelengths in serious terrestrial astronomy, so it isn't beyond reason that they could be transparent outside of visible light. Even if they aren't, theyre still a comparatively tiny patch of the sky that you're already focusing way beyond for a long time. I'm not sure the tictacs would even register on anything we have looking up unless we got extremely lucky. Please correct me if I'm mistaken on any of that, though, I don't want to spread bad information

Hell they might have some kind of "plant" that makes way better coal than wood did.

This entire sector is a demilitarized zone between multiple alien empires. The UFOs are simply observers from each of those empires sent to observe.

It's much more the cameras and equipment monitoring the air. Ah, I apologize. The only thing that I can think of is that most people aren't actively looking looking up to begin with, much less playing back and scrutinizing the countless hours of (until recently) low framerate and not much better than cell phone camera quality in terms of ability to discern detail at any distance footage. Getting into military tech it's the same as the poo poo they have looking downwards, better footage potentially exists but for reasons unknown they haven't seen fit to release it.

quote:4) The same technology can be used to lift objects (or people) off the ground. To do so, a beam needs to be projected to touch all the spacial points between the UAP and the ground. The beam is not what lifts objects. It is, again, the electromagnetic signal that produces the curvature and thus makes objects fall (gently) up into the vehicle. Since the objects are actually freely falling up, they should be weightless but need to be protected from moving sideways through the beam and falling out of it. This means the beam also produces a curvature that keeps objects from falling out. A person lifted by such a beam would thus feel a pressure from the sides but also experience weightlessness due to the free fall motion.

Rime is right in that this has been like coming up for a gasp of fresh air and dimming the dread and loathing that pretty much all terrestrial matters evoke in me. So whatever else it is, real or not, at least I got that out of it. Maybe that is the whole point to a potential psyop

one thing I don't think is as significant a barrier as is often cited to aliens being here is the distance. alpha centauri is 4.5 light years away, a system with three stars (!) and exoplanets we have seen. that's literally our closest neighbor and the innumerable amount of other systems that are further beyond surely contain planets and "habitable zones" of their own. even without ftl there's plenty of space and time for poo poo to get here.

OK baizuo posted:It just doesn't make sense that they're disabling our nuclear weapons out of some benevolent concern. The existential threat to humanity is climate change from burning fossil fuels. If they cared about us they'd be shutting down oil refineries and coal plants not disabling a handful of ICBMs. I haven't gone to geographically confirm it on google maps but I just got done listening to an Elizondo interview where he states that there was a uranium mine in close proximity to the Zimbabwe school UFO sighting. Not sure what to make of that if we accept the premise that it is relevant but it's interesting. Edit: probably already got posted but here's the interview. It starts out a little awkwardly but imo ends up worth listening to if you haven't heard it yet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqtSWD6PYW8 pandy fackler has issued a correction as of 05:58 on Jun 10, 2021 |
