munce posted:And plasma doesn't explain the many close up sightings of actual craft, not balls of plasma. Yeah I don't think a ball of plasma would maintain a constant shape because what if a low pressure air cell gets in front of one of the lasers or a bird flies through it? The ball would deform for a second. Also some of them have weird shapes and maintain pace with aircraft going hundreds of miles an hour in the middle of the ocean, which seems like it would be hard for a pair of ships to do because of ocean waves moving the ships. Plasma balls in the desert (good air for lasers!) near the air force base where they were testing plasma stealth makes sense, but not the tic tacs.

Why would they point lasers at military craft and risk blinding expensive pilots instead of just having someone with authority tell them to get the gently caress out.

i love how over decades the skeptic explanation has gone from actually believable nuke detecting "weather" balloons to the military crossing lasers in the sky making plasma ball shows or holograms

Obviously the military is using their billions of dollars of laser budget to make a fake ufo scare so they can get enough money for more lasers, culminating in the best drat fourth of july you ever saw!

Lampsacus posted:Frigging plasma laser pointer If this were the case, I would expect the objects to show super hot on FLIR. Not sure but I thought the objects appeared cold in the FLIR footage, let's double check that. I would also expect Fravor to have described the tic-tac as a "glowing ball of light" or that it left trails in his vision when he looked away. He describes none of this. It also isn't in keeping with the description of the two little feet sticking out the bottom. mycomancy posted:Uh, plasma would very much show up on radar. Plasma very much would not show up on radar. All those free electrons will absorb the poo poo out of your radar waves and become even more plasma-y.

Marzzle posted:you can use plasma to make antennas that receive or transmit radio waves and radar uses radio EM frequencies Wouldn't that mean they'd have to fly a plasma antenna generator around at 13000 mph? At that point the plasma antenna is kind of secondary in terms of advanced technology. The thing you're talking about would need a magnetic containment field for the plasma antenna and a ufo

alls I'm sayin is that plasma isn't necessarily radar transparent and can basically do whatever with radio frequencies

The Protagonist posted:Glowing Orbs, yes could be the startling variety of objects and entities that people report sort of mandates the discussion be narrowed down, and yeah plasma is a good explanation for man made light orbs. but maybe the orb kicks on around the craft when you put the saucer in gear? youve got to admit lots of folks talk about heat and there have been a few cases with measurable radiation contamination. Bullfrog posted:the plasma stuff is just the ball lightning "explanation" but with extremely expensive extra steps if we have managed to reproduce natural phenomena that we barely understand there is a bigger story there thats much more interesting than "swamp gas"

just finished “oceanic” by greg egan and there was a funny story where extraterrestrial visitors from a galaxy-spanning pan-species post-mortality civilization refuse to even consider allowing a technologically advanced but non-spacefaring buglike species to join them because the buglike species are obsessed with killing each other. i thought it was rude of the aliens to deny the bugs, but the bug people made a really strong argument that they would try to kill everyone they found in space lol.

If your job is believing in aliens then I suppose it makes sense to worry about the borg or whatever, but I'm also fine with being ground up and used as nutrient slurry for the invading alien army

im always curious in these situations and can't tell with the online version. Do you know if this showed up in print? Is there an easy way to tell how buried it is? Doesn't seem like literal nyt headline news, ofc, just not sure what it would look like to nomies who still get their papers via paper. buried on A10 next to an add for footlocker? who knows
