i saw a light phenomena when i was a kid, a known one so it may have been some fuckery by the locals to draw tourists but its at one of the biggest tourism places in the country so why would they

also my dad saw some poo poo when he was younger and he'd have no reason to lie, his life has had plenty of fun stories without it

i believe and i hope theyre into xeno-anthropology rather than xeno-archeology

i've lately been thinking about the rare earth hypothesis and have been wondering if the converse might be true: maybe the reason we haven't spotted other, intelligent life is simply that the milky way is a loving statistical basket case and every other galaxy looks like your average game of stellaris

we're that one solar system with no hyperlanes and you have to find a specific wormhole to travel to it. Only 1/100 galactic civs have discovered the wormhole tech so far which adds up to 4-5 unique visitor races

we just gotta find the Psychotic avatar(kissinger) and destroy it for them to safely introduce themselves.

there's an interesting calculus regarding ufos and social media that i think is underestimated

ufo talk on social media is something that's largely self-censoring. no one wants to look like a loon so most people who see something just go "well, that was weird" and get on with their lives, they certainly don't put it on social media where their family and potential employers can see it. but there's an inverse to that, where if there was a ufo flap like used to happen now and again, it stands a chance of really blowing up in a way that wasn't possible even a decade ago, what with everyone having (still lovely) cameras and ubiquitous social media access

if something like that happened, all eyes would immediately turn to the military, basically saying "so, was that you?" and when the inevitable "no, it wasn't us, ufos aren't real, you're all dumb hillbillies who had too much moonshine" explanation would be given, there's a distinct possibility that the story could get away from the military and it would turn into an old-fashioned congressional investigation like used to happen now and again. that something like that hasn't happened yet doesn't mean that it couldn't, and it wouldn't surprise me if there's a growing fear that it might

and if you're a member of military brass, you've basically got two primary things driving your job: 1) funnel as much money to the MIC as possible, and 2) not get hauled in front of congress to explain why you hosed up

played right, a careful rollout could drive 1), and the military is always on the lookout for new ways to get additional funds, and it helps to avoid 2)

:yeah:

I don't think its wrong to believe the government when it comes to UFOs even if you generally disbelieve them as a rule, as you should. No need to take their word at face value but when a coup plotter mentions being involved in a coup at some point i'll believe it cause its just a person bragging and they chase clout all the time, they think theyre cool.

imma choose to believe the disclosure narrative(that disclosure is happening rn in some form) because its more fun and not much else in the world is fun right now

my working universe-view today is that theyve been coming here on and off for centuries from different places just checking in to see whats what, sometimes nabbing some people and having a chat which is most cases involves some kind of mind altering event to pacify the nabbee but without perfect knowledge of earth physiology(theyve just got a passive interest in pre-space civs but all around comprehensive knowledge of the development of life though interest levels varies between visitors). Some of them have even left knowledge or ideas of paths of knowledge behind.

Some crashes have happened and the governments know its something not from earth but theyve got no idea what any of it is and most likely havnt event figured out where the door handle is on whatever crafts theyre trying to open. so theyve been trying to keep somewhat of a lid on it but havnt been super serious about it other than funding some mean looking people going around confiscating tapes and telling military people very sternly not to talk about it. The reason they dont like to talk about it is because theyre not in control of the situation and that sends an image that theyre lacking control elsewhere as well.

But now with our advancements into cooking ourselves to death in various ways the aliens have had their interests rise and been visiting more and more, some most surely to help us, others just to watch. But the state cant crack down on social media just to ban one subject so theyve had to allow word of these increased amount of visits and events go out into the public, first by cranks on youtube and the like but slowly its been getting more accepted as a passive truth among the public, so now the state/US MIC see's their opposition to public debate on the issues as another roadblock to doing what they usually do(since more people wants answers). But this one is different from the other things(like people not liking funding a mass murdering war machine), this one they created and can without a lot of effort get rid of. Some intentional leaking and one or two retirees get the ball running and then a collective confirming shoulder shrug from most of the in-the-know looking people and its not an issue they have to deal with much anymore. Same part of their budget can be diverted into sharing old info to a new org they dont have to overly care about.

its not that disclosure is a distraction, its that they want to get rid of a distraction for them from their usual wrecking of the world.

when they(the visitors) have given knowledge about stuff to people they chat with they have mistakenly thought that this easy info would lead to big discoveries because in their civ that was the path of least resistance but then theyve watched us and our path is different but now they think(correctly) that we're really big dummies and are like "fine, kill yourselves see if we care" and are just waiting so they can strip mine our suicided planet. the increase in visits is because they see its close so its kinda like the US and Russians patrolling the arctic to see how much ice has melted and if maybe we can get to that oil now

i never did get why society was supposed to fall into a screaming heap at the first sign of anything weird like aliens.

the fears of rioting and stock market fuckery and people turning into gibbering idiots is based on what really?

if i go full tinfoil hat and also assume that disclosure means someone has been hiding free energy, a way past the need for money, all that happy crappy and that it had been held back for decades for profit then maybe some places would experience extreme social unrest but cmon...people dont go insane at the sight of things that are strange.

why is this fairly unimaginative thought that we find other life and can talk with it going to break the back of the world in the first place?

Humans have not been able to communicate with any other species other than teaching them tricks or to associate phrases with activities and we treat every other species terribly. I dunno what that means in the context but I'm sure there's some kind of inherent "we had it coming" sort of thing. Just think of the discourse around covid and how it's "the earth fixing us". We're just a really self loathing species I think.

All of the UAPs are different generations of drones sent by the good folx on Planet X and the resent speculation among some conspiracy minded folks have prompted the drones to enact protocol D(isclosure) whereby they increase the amount of drones observing while also turning of the cloaking field. This is to make us more curious and to incrementally increase the acceptance of them as our caretakers. One World united under Planet X. Viva la X.

warp engines arent actually a thing, but once you exit the heliosphere(in any way) theres a special kind of vacuum that sucks you towards the mid point from another heliosphere but once youre out you accelerate so quick you dont slow down until youre at the equivalent other side, which is another heliosphere, as long as you aim correctly you'll end up at a star in our galaxy, if youre bad at aiming tho you'll end up at the end of the universe in a complete different galaxy, thats why they havnt contacted us yet, they're fine tuning their aiming with drones and are real cowards and need a 100% success rate over at least 500 tries. Roswell and the aliens are misses from other galaxies that by happenstance ended up here rather than a star in their galaxy

Just wanna chime in about that 10 second exposure - your ideas of how a plane would look in any long exposure shot are flawed. There would be no dot, at any shutter speed slower than maybe a quarter of a second. Also, there would be no streaks except the lights, because the body of a plane would be too dark to make any impression on the camera sensor.

That dot also looks like it has a bit of a halo around it which means the color is clipped because its light hit the same spot on the sensor for 10 seconds.

Basically, that object is stationary imho.

this the first time any of this exposure talk vibed with my 3 year photography education which i never took seriously and also ended 12 years ago and ive never held a camera since but it makes sense.,

WEH posted:

Do me a favor and do a google image search for "plane long exposure". The magical device known as a "tripod" allows for sharp shots of lights in motion at slow shutter speeds and the reason the dots show up is because they are very bright for a very short amount of time.

e: changed "objects" to lights

This is correct on the dot from a blinking light from what I see, but if this was the case of it being a plane, we'd see a dark streak outlined by a bright trail with dots in the dark part, not a full body of something with no wings and 2 dots on either side. It being a plane doesnt vibe with me.

years ago one of the radio hosts on the swedish public service radio channel P3, oriented towards youth at the time, talked about his weird experience he'd had the day before flying back home from an event. He said he had seen and photographed(with a lovely phone camera by todays standards) a cigar shaped object that appeared to be quite the distance away but matched the speed of the plane for a bit, he'd been looking at it for a while and some other people on the plane seemed to have noticed it as well. He uploaded the picture but ive not been able to find it since(it wouldnt add to anything now). the discussion veered of into UFOs and alien jokes. ever since ive been biased towards believing cigar shapes. my moms friend has lived in phoenix since the 80s and said she saw the phoenix lights when i made my mom ask her about it.

im 100% convinced cigars and triangles are real. even the UAP sorts. neither of those two people are cooks or religious and if they say they saw it i'll believe it.

the 25th is disclosure day but it is also midsummers eve but the solstice was a few days ago, monday i think. the aliens are already here going "what the gently caress? Why dont they know yet?" because the agreement was to do disclosure on the eve of eves which was understood to be on the solstice but US evangelicals hosed it up and though that was midsummers eve not realizing human dates have shifted somewhat over the centuries since Ceasar the Date Corrector "fixed" the calendar(he hosed up slightly because the pirates bonked his head once and made him angry and distracted). Now theyre kinda angry/sour/prissy we hosed up their big reveal plans meticulously planned for centuries that was meant to happen on the solstice so theyre just hanging back smoking space weed on the dark side of the moon being all "see if we care..."

soooo.. Swedish Radio had this podcast called Ufopodden where they just told about alien encounters, not to analyze the story or anything just the story as its told. It ran from 2017 to 2020 releasing like 10 or so eps a year. It was really good production value and everything and has this really cool intro, also they actually interviewed some of the people in a couple of the eps. I was going to listen to the swedish stories and summarize them in this thread but i cant for the life of me find any more than 7 of them anywhere, theyve been scrubbed, the only ones remaining are well known ones like the hill abductions and tic tacs what the gently caress :tinfoil:
