It was a meteor with a high nickel content which made it burn green upon entering the atmosphere. I've seen meteors like that before and they're quite spectacular. The sound on the ring camera was the sonic boom. These are just kids having fun telling some (heh) tall tales.

i’m just waiting for it to come out that the icig concerns are over this guys story of retaliation and not anything rad like a hypership

This is my biggest anticlimax concern.

Also, Flight of the Navigator is such a classic. Here's an awesome video describing how they did the SFX:

i loved flight of the navigator. i never cared for my family that much so i always thought that given the opportunity i’d probably just go with the alien ship

two days til we get a long interview with mister whistleblower. i think it’ll be easier to get a read on him after that

i will say if he turns out to be grifty this will be painfully deleterious to ross, the writers, and newsnation, too

of course kean can go back to writing books about the proof of life after death or whatever, i doubt this will affect that

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

The fact that the Marine correctly recalls that it was Air Force that made him sign an NDA lol, this is also probably real. gently caress it they're among us, and there's probably more than one alien race involved.

Also the Peru one, forgot about that encounter, that one is also without a doubt real-- guy is a jarhead.

Herrera is also planning to tell his story at a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington DC on Monday organized by Greer, alongside four other UFO witnesses.

The ex-marine claims his five former comrades are too scared to come forward.

In a May 3 text message, one wrote: 'this is asking to[o] much of me and it's not worth the risk.'

'It's not worth my life or jeopardizing my family. I know we go way back, but this is asking to[o] much. You need to get out of whatever you are in and don't get me involved with this mess. My career isn't worth helping you. Don't ask me to do this s**t ever again.'

DailyMail.com verified the sender was a marine serving in the same unit in 2009.

alright then, Sunday we get the long interview and now it looks like the Monday Greer thing might actually be worth a peek ?

I’m ready to be disappointed, but drat fun week ahead

You can put lots of stuff in a weapons crate that isn't weapons

My read on that story is that it's an indigenously developed craft being loaded with crap

All right. It's Saturday night; I have no date, a two-liter bottle of Shasta and my all-Rush mix-tape... Let's rock.

maybe there was also a disaster in a parallel dimension and the nice americans were helping out the aliens with supplies :)
