Still digging through posts from February 2022. I'm trying to find something specific about the description of the shot-down UFO but having no luck so far.

Corbell said the jellyfish was only visible on thermal imaging, right?

I am positive one of the objects shot down was described as having something hanging from it. So definitely could be we jellied a jelly

yeah it "seems" to happen a lot because you don't notice when it works fine, just like how every piece of technology in your life works flawlessly 95% of the time but it seems like it's always breaking because of the 5% it doesn't

air quality monitoring? in the videos i watched they have a bunch of drones orbiting them and then the drones seem to go back into the jellyfish and then the jellyfish goes away
or maybe they're doing google maps type stuff using a sensor array

I don't know if anything came of this, but interesting:


Pilots describing sensor interference (cloaking? jamming?):


I'm going crazy, I can't find the original post where the pilots mentioned stuff hanging below the UFO/octagon. This is the earliest mention of it I can find in this thread but I can't find the original.:

BoldFace posted:

So, it was shaped like an octagon and had strings attached to it but no discernible payload? Sounds like it was carrying something that was dropped before it was shot down.

OK I finally found the original sourcing of the "strings hanging below it but with no discernible payload". Somewhere around the :40 to 1:00 mark:

Basically nowhere else mentions the dangling strings. No news articles, no Twitter posts aside from this one, just stuff obliquely referencing or reacting to this description. No followup on this.

in between this and how little we know about the ocean or deeper and that there's nematodes that live pretty deep in the earth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halicephalobus_mephisto) and the Vela larp, it would be cool as hell if there's a whole other world right underneath us, churning with deep water and molten rock, and very uncool if humanity at large decides to nuke it when they find out

I happened to be searching through the thread for old info related to a post I've been working on, and came across this explanation that should shed some light on your question.

Sure but these creatures have no ability for rational thought and our existence is effectively meaningless to them. Granted, gorillas are slightly higher on the scale but none of them are going around making viral videos of hairless ape monsters casually sauntering through the gorilla shopping mall while everyone runs away and a thousand gorilla cops point gorilla guns at them. And the gorillas aren't making movies about it afterwards. All I'm trying to say is if they're trying to be covert, they've failed spectacularly for the last century.

em radiation is caused by vibration or movement of physical matter (molecules, atoms, plasmas, etc).
consider a flame. it emits infrared radiation and visible light radiation. if it only emitted infrared, you'd be able to feel the heat and see how that heat affects nearby air, the fuel source, and disturbed dust/ash, but the flame itself would be invisible. i think it would occlude anything on the far side of it because light from those objects would be partially passing through the invisible flame.
air is another good one to consider. you don't see it, but it can refract or obscure light passing through.
i suppose a black hole is also a pretty good example for an opaque object as it doesn't emit any em radiation directly and just appears as a black hole

In the context of the Corbell jellyfish video, it was floating through a military base and impacting sensor equipment, so I wouldn't say (at least in this case) that it was just floating thru and doing nothing. My guess based on my years of experience eating taco bell is that it was either doing reconnaissance or tinkering with nukes as they are known to do.
