Havana syndrome sounds like utter bullshit. I'm open to being wrong though.

I like the theory that it's actually related to how they slammed a shitload of different vaccines, some of which have some gnarly side effects, into the new staff all at once. That made the staff freak the gently caress out which then perpetuates it psychosomatically with an assist from the real side effects from the vaccinations.

This is gonna be a weird first post in this thread.

So, I have some odd memories from childhood. I never thought much of them until the last year or so, just a "kids have the weirdest ideas" type thing. But I've been thinking about them more the last couple of years for some reason.

These mostly come from age 3-4 I'm pretty sure, but also had weirdness going on until I was like 12 or 13.

So my first memory, I was in the top bunk of a bunk bed. My older brother had the bottom bunk for some reason. I was watching the ceiling when it suddenly turns, like, into a kaleidoscope of colors. All shifting and changing. I remember this shade of blue-green being most prominent?

Out of the colors i could see a face. Brown, wrinkled skin. Large, black eyes. I had a sense of peace and tranquility. Then nothing else.

The next one is in the same house. I'm in the bottom bunk this time. There are several little men in my room. I think they are Grey and they have the large black eyes. They are talking to one another about something and then realize I'm listening in. They admonish me for this and I fall asleep.

These are really the only two alien adjacent things I remember. My oldest brother remembers a "demon" that used to visit him as a child, though. We grew up in a very religious family and I kind of wonder if his demon might have been something like what I saw.

Man, if I were in your position I'd both really want to know what that was all about but also really not want to know what that was all about lol

I saw two small figures in my bedroom once when I was 17 or 18 but they were just silhouettes, I couldn't make out any details. It was very likely sleep paralysis anyway, given the terror and confusion I felt - how did you feel the second time round? Were you afraid?

The second time I was frightened but not intensely so? Like i was caught doing something i shouldnt. I've remembered these events my whole life, but never shared them or really thought to consider them in any context until a year or two ago.

Translation of twitter thread by GPT4.

Title: First-hand Account of UAP Sighting in Antioquia, Colombia

I would like to share with you all an interesting account of a recent UAP sighting in Antioquia, Colombia. The event took place on May 12th, 2022, involving a Cessna T303 Crusader piloted by Jorge A. Arteaga.

According to Jorge A. Arteaga, the object observed was not a balloon of any type, not a drone, and not any known object to him. He recorded a video of the sighting, which has been confirmed to be authentic. Arteaga recounts that the object was first seen floating stationary at a specific point between Medellin and Santa Fe. He and his co-pilot, Daniel, were flying towards Medellin when they noticed the object.

As they approached the UAP, it suddenly moved towards them, prompting Arteaga to ask Daniel if he saw and heard it. Arteaga then turned the plane around, capturing the first video of the stationary object. As he was filming, the object moved slightly, and he began to "hunt" it with the aircraft. At this point, the UAP started moving towards them.

Arteaga managed to avoid the object while flying at a speed of 130 to 140 knots, which is roughly over 300 kilometers per hour. He noted that had the object been a balloon, the aircraft's wake would have blown it away or disrupted its position. He also ruled out the possibility of it being a solar or helium balloon, as the sighting occurred at 12,500 feet with temperatures around 5 degrees Celsius.

Arteaga expressed fear during the encounter, insisting that the object was neither a balloon, a drone, nor any known object to him. The full interview will be broadcasted on Tercer Milenio 360 Internacional by Maussan TV on YouTube and TV Azteca.

This UAP sighting has been closely followed by researchers worldwide, who have analyzed the images using highly-qualified processes and determined the video to be real and legitimate, as confirmed by pilot Jorge Alc�ntara.

The videos shared by Jorge A. Alc�ntara are available in this thread for all researchers and digital analysts who have been following the case, to confirm their findings. The international UAP community is expected to endorse the general verdict, which, based on published analyses by various experts, points to a non-human origin for this extraordinary UAP sighting.

Check out that thread for another video - it's much less obvious but it looks like there's something in the distance making some pretty crazy movements

Also, another video from 2020 from the same area This one looks more like the ol cube-in-a-sphere

I don't think this one is a ballon but the irregular shape makes me think some kind of debris. It doesn't look animated, rather it's falling and it's odd shape is making it move irregularly in the air currents. Again, it doesn't look balloon like but seems low density from the way it's being pushed around in the air. Maybe plastic or composite from a plane or a fragment of fuel tank from a re-entering rocket. I like this one because it's not an obvious silver foil balloon like 90% of the other videos we get.

Chairman Yarmuth. All right, everyone, the sound on the
live stream is back up. We will continue where we left off. The
Ranking Member will have seven minutes for questioning.

Mr. Smith. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

As you could imagine, the American people probably share my
concern that we have a system wide outage when I am asking
questions about UFOs, and whether it is the Chinese or the
Russians or it is actually people in other places. So, let us
try to ask this UFO question again and see if the systems will
hold up.

Under Secretary McCord, there has been a lot of discussion
recently regarding unidentified aerial phenomena, UAPs,
harassing U.S. Navy pilots and exhibiting technological
advancements far beyond our current capabilities.

The Senate Intelligence Committee voted to require U.S.
intelligence agencies and DoD to compile a detailed public
analysis of all information collected on UAPs. Additionally, a
former top Pentagon intelligence official said the report could
range from revealing an unknown threat or military
vulnerability to there have been probes visiting our planet, or
anything in between. Another top Pentagon official said that
dozens of UFOs appeared to have carried out some kind of
reconnaissance or surveillance of our nuclear technology and
weapons.

The UAP Task Force at DoD has stated its intention to
release an unclassified report on this matter by Friday. Will
the report provide the American people with answers on how we
plan to continue investigating and counter these phenomena?

Mr. McCord. I am familiar with the issue, and I understand
that the report is, as you describe, imminent. My colleague,
the Under Secretary for Intelligence and Security I know is
going to be reviewing--or has reviewed or is reviewing that
report this week. And so if the Committee does not receive that
report or is not--receive that information, we commit on behalf
of the Department to get that to you.

Again, I am not personally going to be chopping on that
report as the CFO, but I am aware that it is moving and it has
been discussed with DoD officials that are in the intelligence
area.

Mr. Smith. Do you believe this report will reveal any
serious national security threats that the American people
should be aware of?

Mr. McCord. I can't say at this time. I have not been
briefed on the report myself. But I do understand that in the
intelligence channels, both the Director of National
Intelligence and then in the intelligence--Under Secretary of
Defense Department, it has been--it is being reviewed and is
expected to be released very soon, as you describe.

Mr. Smith. There is a lot of interest, and even more
interest as the days get closer.
[...]

This was from back in June 2021, so nothing has come of it thus far.
