Large numbers of persistent rumors imply that the military has been reverse engineering UFOs, some with recovered materials and others given technology. Every time I read about the NGAD I can't help but think "the sport model?" Perhaps a random clue to "why now?"quote:"Superamus Perstamus Letamus" Did USAF's secret NGAD come out on purpose? I WANT TO BELIEVE

Information doesn't go back through the keyhole. So we will eventually, incrementally, learn there is no hope of knowing anything more.

Google Butt posted:lol if they're like hey btw our next gen fighter has an anti gravity propulsion system hehe Ok, so grand unifying theory: So the US has been tinkering on high performance poo poo based on reverse engineered craft for a while. It's slow going with black projects sometimes, especially crossfunctional but compartmentalized stuff. I think WW2-ish seems like a good spot to kick off that part of the story as I think that would be where its most likely you'd get a shootdown event first. Its 70 years later! If that is true, I would expect China to have done so as well by now. Why not, right? They have perfectly qualified engineers to do anything we could do given the same help or materials and some time and would probably have also reverse engineered something interesting. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/30499/the-truth-is-the-military-has-been-researching-anti-gravity-for-nearly-70-years The airforce has been sitting on multiple generations of planes based on weird gravity techniques because - why not? Noone else is doing anything with the info and the back story is uncomfortable. More time passes and things sort of even out and the status quo persists. Black projects stay black projects and life moves on - until PRC superdrones start flying around all over the place harassing the Navy. They can't deal with it, the air force won't do jack poo poo about it, so now there is the whole TTSA boondoggle to get attention out. It's not a bad story to "why now?" Deprecate the F22, come clean, and now the surprise replacement NGAD becomes truly next gen.

Communist Thoughts posted:drones that arent supposed to be operating in domestic airspace This still relies on the US having perfected this technology over 20 years ago and globally testing it on unsuspecting allies for them to report (France, Canada, UK, etc, who have all seen similarly vehicles/capabilities) Not impossible, sure, but certainly a violation of dozens of alliances/treaties/charters and what-have-you Or alternatively, all those pilots/nations having similarly hosed up eyes and sensors.

even if its nothing/human error, the fact that people have seen odd lights in the water and the air for a long, long rear end-time kind of hints we're going to be dealing with this chronically as a species and its something we may need to figure out a bit better than we're doing now. right... hmm...

Missionary Positron posted:The NGAD p. clearly has traditional jet engines tho: reading the quoted release, it sounds more like the program embraces modern design techniques that have never been used on a production run of that level. I am talking about not using 2D spec drawings and stuff and instead using a master model developed at the beginning which drives the whole production chain and everything is computer-generated based off the master model. Things such as the machine tooling paths to make the part, CMM inspection paths to verify the part, every step of the way it is all digital, start to finish. I believe this is current industry standard for automotive manufacturing but aerospace is starting to shed the last 100 years of learned lessons and practices and embrace the digital age.
