When the Air Force started developing aircraft they quickly discovered that normal planes that rely on aerodynamic lift would not hover. To combat this problem Congress approved a program and military engineers spent a several decade and over $165 quadrillion developing an oval craft that hovers silently, can fly for hours, at any altitude and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 C. The Chinese used a helium balloon…Your taxes are due in April.

Probably going to be a weird surveillance drone. But I'm gonna say angry aliens on the way so this is a false flag hangout to make the populace think they're easy to kill and avoid a panic

this is frustrating because this is one of those things that should have a material explanation but it’s always just kind of stated as magic. how does this work?????

It's not settled, but they're probably able to detect electromagnetic disturbances in, particularly, the ionosphere. (Changes may be detectable up to two weeks ahead of an earthquake). Other animals are capable of detecting earthquakes as well, and the phenomenon has been documented since the Romans.

Senate Intelligence committee is basically second or third in terms of political authority and importance in the weird power structure we have

they're the senators that get to know the secret things
