There is, unsurprisingly, a lot of discussion around UAP and how they move, but I think this thread could really use a step forward. I think we actually need to talk about the aliens. I've done quite a bit of research both on the internet and independently in-person and I think I've started to piece it together.

I recommend reading on, because the defying of physics by these "ships" will be easily explained.

To start, let me lay out a few observations which are all based on fact:
1. Project Blue Book ended in the early 70's, but most people believe that it went underground at this point.
2. George Lucas is in close contact with high level officials in the federal government.
3. George Lucas begins working on Star Wars approximately 2 weeks after this meeting and the formal announcement that project blue book has closed.

There is a lot of evidence that the original Star Wars trilogy is actually an origin story relayed from the aliens. You may ask, but why are humans there? That will be explained.

So, the original trilogy shares the alien origin story - it was just used to start to slowly trickle out information to the populace through the use of popular media - something the government always does.

Now - this alone is quite big, but what I'm about to explain next is even bigger. Now I want to warn you, the following is based on my independent research so it isn't as heavily supported among those in the know as the statements above.

My independent observations:
1. The YA series Animorphs begins being written in 1996, by the late 90's most of the books are ghost written.
2. The Yeerk are introduced by a ghost writer - who is believed to be George Lucas
3. Star Wars 1-3 are released by george lucas within a year of the first discussion of yeerks in animorphs.
4. star wars 1-3 is portrayed as happening before 4-6, but every nerd worth his salt knows its obviously set in the future because they have way better tech.

My theory is the midichlorians/yeerks are the true alien creator. they live within our bodies and direct us what to do.

The aliens themselves are actually a massless conscious therefore they can defy all sorts of laws of physics and their shape appears differently to people because they are just a projected consciousness therefore people see whatever they want to see.

Now what comes next is not even supported by independent observation, these are my personal beliefs.

1. These aliens move throughout the galaxy and whenever intelligent life appears to be about to arise they seed them with young aliens - similar to a fly implanting larva.
2. They had a lot of success with the original humans.
3. They found Earth and a simian species similar to humans which they implanted and have allowed to grow into humans.
4. They have come back to use us to create more ships and power for them, effectively strip mining our planet and then they'll destroy it and move on.d

now to explain potentially why there has been an increase lately:

1. discovery of nuclear technology brings them forward for 2 reasons: one is we have finally found a power source they could actually use and two the nuclear weapons are the only thing that can truly kill midichlorian
2. knowing that nuclear weapons can only kill midichlorian when we dropped the nuclear bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki - the midichlorians/yeerks felt "a great disturbance in the force as if millions of midichlorians cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced"
3. they've come here to control our extermination of them and also to begin the harvesting of power

also potentially the 5g radio waves are interfering with their cloaking

some lovely website posted:

Australian researchers have created what may be one of the most thermally stable materials ever discovered. This new zero thermal expansion (ZTE) material made of scandium, aluminum, tungsten and oxygen did not change in volume at temperatures ranging from 4 to 1400 Kelvin (-269 to 1126 �C, -452 to 2059 �F).

This new material stays exactly the same volume from close to absolute zero all the way up to comfortably over the heat you'd expect to get on the wing of a hypersonic aircraft traveling at Mach 5.

I'm not sure I'd call that a metamaterial, though that's admittedly not a very well defined term. Still, it's impressive work.

I looked up the paper though my institutional account and there's a little more detail. The synthesis is really easy; it's pretty much put the precursors in a furnace, sinter, grind the result, and then mix and sinter again. That's easy. What's really fascinating is that the structure isn't a composite, like most of these types of low/no expansion materials, but a single phase crystalline structure. "Single phase" in this case means there's only one atomic structure, like various ceramics or metals, and not amorphous like glass or a composite like carbon fiber materials.

What was notably absent was mechanical characterization. The authors only focused on the thermal performance; I can't tell if this is something that would be cast, or machined, or used as a coating because it's not strong enough by itself... That's not a bad thing, that wasn't their goal, just information that would be important in some of their suggested uses.

printed layering isn't that great for most high performance materials. It's hard to get good bonds between the layers. I'm not saying it can't be done; if the aliens are real and have metamaterials, maybe that's how they make them. Most mechanical metamaterials are going to be printed to get the required structure, even. But any metamaterials operating on chemical or electronic processes could easily be made another way.

This stuff is a broad enough topic that it's hard for me to nail down specific things of interest out of nowhere, so if you have questions, ask and I'll try to answer. This is actually a topic I'm fairly familiar with.

it's why i want them government fuckers to give me the alien alloys drat it

Sort of? It's one of the problems, but there's issues getting printers to adhere even layers of similar material. Different materials does make it harder, though. It also adds a lot of complications of having multiple feedstocks and nozzles to prevent cross contamination. There are various systems that can prevent that, for polymers, powdered metals, and probably other materials, and they're fairly mature but most I've seen top out at 2 or 3 materials. That said, I'm not an expert on the printing side.

In general, printed parts trade control over the shape for control over the microstructure. Polymer printers are going to be some for of deposition from a nozzle, or vat polymerization of compounds in a big vat of chemical with focused lighted. Powdered metal and ceramic printers just deposit powders, that are then sintered in a furnace. There are ion jets and fancy things like that, but they're expensive and don't have as much throughput and, I believe, still have some issue with bonding/part strength. That said, you can make complex structures easily that would be difficult or even impossible to machine, which is good when you're trying to make some kind of complex truss system for a mechanical metamaterial.
