Dear ETs: you've permitted a system to proliferate with your explicit permission that is fundamentally harmful and failed to do anything to help the one nation that served as a check on it. How can you even say you come in peace when youve already visited untold violence upon us all?

tbh if there really are eternal alien consciousnesses watching earth and we’re also jacked into the universal consciousness to which we return when we die, nothing humans have ever done to one another is going to register as much more than what we feel when some kid beats up another kid on the schoolyard, like yea that sucks whatever goes back to the ancient wisdom of religions, both east and west, being that hey this life isn’t actually a big deal suck it up and accept your place

The Saucer Hovers posted:mufon is a boomer grift that swims in and eats from robert bigelows liquid poo poo Not to be dismissive, it's one take. I appreciate that it's not just a meme poo poo post. Azathoth posted:MUFON senior leadership sucks rear end. Before the president was revealed to be a pedophile, they repeatedly covered for literal white supremacist John Ventre, who ran (and maybe still runs) the Pennsylvania branch and was something like "national director" or whatever they call senior leadership. When MUFON washed their hands as best they could of Harzan, my understanding is that Ventre's involvement left with him. But I cannot speak for what goes on behind the scenes at MUFON Pennsylvania. There is some possibility he is involved with them, or even behind the scenes with someone else in the organization in an unnamed capacity., There are have been systemic complaints about MUFON leadership, and I fully believe the majority of them to be credible. However I must say, being directly involved with many of the prominent leaders, there is no tolerance for that kind of behavior either within MUFON or in the personal life of anyone with a title. There are some well respected and highly qualified professionals involved. As with all working relationships however, you never know what someone is thinking or doing beyond what you can see and what they tell you. One last thing, I do believe the core MUFON is a very comprehensive system of recording encounters which has been refined to precision over the years. In the hands of qualified and sincere Field Investigators, very good work is done. And hopefully their respective directors are providing experienced guidance and maintaining high standards. Of course it varies from chapter to chapter. I won't bog down this sub with anymore defense of them. Dog on them all you want goons. But watch this space for many more even shittier posts unrelated to MUFON from me in the near future.

Ventre popped up at another MUFON online thing again this year. I can't find the details and don't really care to go looking for it, but he did. It's pretty clear he's still got friends who want to bring him back. That's the second time I've personally noticed it. It may have happened more. I do not know or care about them after they showed their whole rear end the first time he got ran out then slunk back in before getting called out a second time. It's pretty clear the only thing they learned is to keep the racist poo poo to a normal level of decorum and to not go full chud. Such is life when your whole deal is to separate boomers from their social security checks, as is obviously the only motivation for their leadership. As for their data, if there was anything of value that could be learned from it, that would have already happened. It only proves what we already know, that something is happening, but it offers no insight beyond that. I would go so far as to say that another decade or two decades or reports will not offer anything more insightful, as the nature of the phenomenon, whatever it is, precludes meaningful study in that way.

Rickshaw posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6XOw1vITGU I have forgotten what the plane design's designation was, but there was a flying aircraft carrier concept put to paper that would help explain things like this and the lights over phoenix. Though it's probably way crazier of me to think that the USAF could possibly build and fly something like that for any period of time without a serious leak. If anyone knows the designation let me know. It's one of those awesome ideas from the time when better things were possible.

Not sure about a carrier, but there were rumors and speculation about stealth blimp designs around that time related to flying triangle sightings. There's even a drawing from Popular Mechanics, although I don't think it's anything more than an artist's conception https://books.google.com/books?id=SmYEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA60&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=2#v=onepage&q&f=false

Not even anti-grav, just the power of the sun (nuclear). Found it! Behold the CL-1201 a nuclear powered flying wing with a VTOL variant because why the hell not.

nomad2020 posted:Not even anti-grav, just the power of the sun (nuclear). It's not really on topic for the thread, but the nuclear aircraft program (the declassified part, anyway) is an amazing, and amazingly dumb, story. The short version goes something like: You know how the Navy's nuclear program is incredibly competent and has never had a major disaster? Well, all of the normal incompetence has to go somewhere, and guess which service got it? The plan for a nuclear aircraft involved an air cooled (because coolant was too heavy) unshielded reactor (because shielding was too heavy) that drove turbine engines directly (because an electric transmission was too heavy, and presumably too reliable) and a very 'careful' design to make sure all of the emitted radiation was pointed away from the pilots. Ground service was planned equally carefully, under the apparent theory that if ground crews could manage not to get sucked into a rotating turbine they could apply the same "don't step here" techniques to, essentially, the entirety of the rest of the aircraft. All of this was when operating as planned. When things didn't go as planned, the R&D effort started blowing up reactors.

The two test reactors from the aircraft program are rusting away in the parking lot of ebr-1 (which is a museum). If you're ever in central Idaho, check em out.

oh and on that site I linked the two Science Frontiers books were just compilations of his Science Frontiers newsletter. all of the articles are on the site for free. I would love to get them in hardback to go with the others though. I also went back through the books and bought the only remaining one I don't have which wasn't sold out (Mysterious Universe) lol

What are some cool forums besides this one about UFOs, aliens, forteana? I read a few subreddits, and they lean too hard into "here's a dumb cell phone video of a kite/balloon/florescent bird, aliens am I right", idolizing certain personalities, hot takes about disclosure etc. I'd be interested in a place where folks have a more balanced takes, or at least more interesting ones that engage with stuff going on outside the echo chamber. E.g. The Drive has presented a couple interesting theories for certain categories of UAPs that just does not get any engagement--either to meaningfully debunk, or to add to the pool of hypotheses. In general, their approach is to ascribe all phenomena to the same cause, usually ETs or, more rarely UTs, which is lazy, but also extremely boring.

Yeah, I don't know of any myself either. The problem is that UFO culture tends to skew older, so you're dealing with a lot of boomers and thus a lot of chuddy poo poo. Take a look at any specifically UFO conference shots of attendees, you'll see the average age is probably 50+.

I heard abovetopsecret.com described as "boomer /pol" and it's the most accurate summation of that site. It's a bummer, there used to be fun discussions on the aviation projects subforum there.

Yeah good point on the CHUDs; over the last few years I have felt an uncomfortable overlap between these subcultures and QAnon crap. But much of this scene has always had CHUDiness associated with it, at least during my lifetime. I am lame and frequently listen to reruns of old Coast to Cost AM episodes when I'm going to bed, and hearing Art Bell talk politics during the 90s is extremely cringy and feels bad. Of course, certain lines of theorizing tend to be fundamentally racist or regressive--most versions of the ancient astronaut theory, and theories around cultural diffusionism from some ur-race e.g. Atlantis. And the less said about the aliens=demons take the better. Anyway, I just want a place to talk about spooky aliens in a less dumb way, and without getting radicalized (I checked out above top secret for the first time in years, and Jesus Christ...). Maybe I need to check out Usenet again
