Could be a rock. Could be a space artifact from an interstellar civilization seeking to make coded contact and prepare humanity for a great ascension to the stars.

It kind've feels like "The pyramids/stonehenge/etc was made by aliens! You can't prove it wasn't!" for the modern generation. I grew up in the 1970s when Erich von Daniken's bullshit was still wildly popular. It later turned out that he was a serial conman who'd been scamming people and embezzling businesses for decades before he got around to writing his books. When he finally got busted his excuse was "It's their fault for trusting me with the money" quote:Following his release, von Däniken became a manager of the Hotel Rosenhügel in Davos, Switzerland, during which time he wrote Chariots of the Gods? (German: Erinnerungen an die Zukunft, literally "Memories of the Future"), working on the manuscript late at night after the hotel's guests had retired. The draft of the book was turned down by several publishers. Econ Verlag (now part of Ullstein Verlag) was willing to publish the book after a complete reworking by a professional author, Utz Utermann, who used the pseudonym of Wilhelm Roggersdorf. Utermann was a former editor of the Nazi Party's newspaper Völkischer Beobachter and had been a Nazi bestselling author. The re-write of Chariots of the Gods? was accepted for publication early in 1967, but not printed until March 1968.[9] Against all expectations, the book gained widespread interest and became a bestseller. Von Däniken was paid 7 percent of the book's turnover, while 3 percent went to Utermann. In 1970, Der Spiegel referred to the hype over Däniken as Dänikitis.

Star Trek man and swinging sex pervert Gene Roddenbery hated Chariots of the Gods. He hated the suggestion that human beings weren't capable of building pyramids or henges, or that you couldn't go from the backdoor to the front door.

Pyramids are the start of large structure engineering. The first step of building something really enormous and stable is stacking smaller floors on larger floors in a pyramid.

Also another thing that often gets conveniently over looked is that there are more pyramids than just the three big ones at Giza. There are smaller ones with the oldest being short with rounded tops. Then get larger and more "sharp" at the top as they got the building methods and designs hammer out.

That's badass lmao. I went through a UFO phase as a kid and was never super sold on the pyramid thing. It only made sense in Saturday morning cartoon logic. The Mummy (1999) was a much more convincing fantastical account of how things went down in ancient Egypt.

The civilian ones are all mass hysteria, drugs/alcohol, airplanes, drones, satellites, meteorites, experimental aircrafts or ball lightning GABA ghoul fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Aug 31, 2023 |

I have some background in aviation and materials science, so here's my thoughts: * The mass of the objects could be quite large given the distance at which they appear observable to the unaided eye. Most of the footage we're seeing is just giving us better detail but clearly these are visible even without instrumentation. * The energy demands to provide acceleration at the rates that we've seen must require extraordinary energy reserves contained within the hulls of the vessels. It's certainly at a scale unlike those otherwise observed in civilian crafts. * Even stating those facts, the probability of the crafts being extraterrestrial seems low. My suspicion is that we are likely witnessing the same craft deployed in different areas, and that it's of earthly provenance. So my un-sexy tl;dr is it's op's mom trying to perform jumping jacks

What do we think about the UAP hearings? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNgoul4vyDM TLDR: 1- US is in possession of crashed UAPs and bodies 2- US has a reverse engineering program 3- There's a 90 year cover up / disinformation campaign targeting US population 4- There seems to be "an agreement" with NHIs (non human intelligence) and the US goverment

The aliens are American experimental aircraft that the "normal" US military is not privy to. This is why almost all UFO sightings happen in America, and the aliens from the 50s were a lot less sophisticated. Other countries have similar programs, but theirs loving suck by comparison and as a result every other country only has a relatively scant amount of sightings, and they tend to be using the scraps of American technology. 1) When you go from a low-pressure system to a high-pressure system a body becomes smaller, particularly if the pilots are under extreme stress to start with. Many of the bodies recovered are unrecognizable human corpses that had acclimated to the low-pressure upper atmosphere and then were shrunk when they fell to the ground (rapidly pressurized) and look like the 'greys' from science fiction. The bodies are unidentifiable because of damage and their genetics don't provide a match with any records because they were flying experimental aircraft and the govt had destroyed all identifying records on the pilots prior to their enrollment as experimental pilots. Haven't you ever wondered why they always look a lot like humans? 2) The US's experimental aircraft program is buried under such secrecy that the normal military has its own reverse-engineering program to reverse engineer American aircraft they otherwise have absolutely no record of. This is to ensure that the experimental aircraft program's information (which is absurdly far ahead of any contemporary aircraft) never ever leaves its walls except through normal channels. 3) The disinformation/coverup campaign is to protect the technological secrets of our experimental aircraft program and provide the foundation to easily and conveniently discredit anyone who leaks anything, ever. They also never abandoned the CIA-style "give people drugs to make them crazy" technique of discrediting leaks. The amount of actually crazy people and uninformed alien enthusiasts only helps the disinformation campaign because America's enemies will likely also believe that alien enthusiasts are crazy-- even when they're not. 4) The NHIs are, again, a clever ruse between the scientists and engineers of the experimental program and the US government. Since the US govt is full of elected officials who spiral in and out of power, giving information to anyone-- the president included-- is on a strictly need-to-know basis. As a consequence, when communication is necessary, the mere revelation that there is an experimental aircraft program would be too dangerous to allow America's enemies learn about so instead they claim the NHIs are communicating to a select few people through the filter of being an unknowable and alien entity so that the select few people who do communicate with the "NHIs" hold the communication and circumstance (and secrecy) sacred. An even smaller group knows that there are no aliens, it's just a convenient way to keep secrets. jokes fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Aug 31, 2023 |

Why would the experimental program, whose goal is to maintain and expand a technological edge over everyone else, give the technology to anyone, ever? The minute they actually use the technology it would become the state of the art. Instead, it's best to drip-feed old poo poo to American interests to maintain an American economic edge in technology. Private industry will simply never be able to keep up to this experimental program. A tech company would simply never be able to get the resources and funding and, most importantly, secrecy necessary to get to that point. Self-interest of capitalists means they'd sell information, not hoard it. Or the profit incentive would divert funding, etc. If America were faced with a military defeat within its borders (lol, never gonna happen) we'd see absurd and rapid leaps in technology to win as the program gives the military bigger and better toys jokes fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Aug 31, 2023 |
