I've been hearing that disclosure is around the corner for so long that even this unprecedented poo poo doesnt move me much. On the other hand, if the relatively mundane (for the subject matter) and old footage coming out is enough to get the gears turning publicly I would bet that whatever hypothetical agency exists to compartmentalize this poo poo got properly freaked out by something changing in the last few years.

Or it's just running cover for something else lmao

Someothing happened to me last Thursday when I was driving home. I had a couple of miles to go -- I looked up and saw a glowing orange object in the sky, to the east! It was moving very irregularly... Suddenly, there was intense light all around me -- and when I came to, I was home. What do you think happened to me...?

"the government is making up UFO stories to cover up that china beat us to antigravity" has a funny parallel to how the government actually ran a propaganda campaign that everyone who reported UFO sightings was an absolute crank and nobody should take it seriously because they wanted to suppress any thoughts whatsoever that the US wasn't in total control of its airspace

Not related to the quoted post, but especially on the coasts (but also inland) it's important to know that theres a bunch of work being done on high altitude spy balloons that usually show up on not paid off trackers like https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ but also are absolutely working without public transponders to some degree.

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it.
Established in 1956 to make high-altitude balloons, Raven was launched by a group of General Mills employees, including General Mills High Altitude Research division employee Ed Yost.[2][3] Yost claimed to pick Sioux Falls for its favorable wind conditions.[2]

Aeronautical Research Division and Electronics Division Edit
In 1946, General Mills established their Aeronautical Research Division with chief engineer Otto C. Winzen. This division developed high altitude balloons in conjunction with the United States Navy Office of Naval Research (ONR), such as the Skyhook balloon.[11]

The Aeronautical work of General Mills done around the time of the second World War is continued by the company Raven Industries in their Raven Aerostar department.[12]

The General Mills Electronics division developed the DSV Alvin submersible, which is notable for being used in investigating the wreck of Titanic among other deep-sea exploration missions.[13]

"black helicopters" was shorthand for batshit conspiracy theories during the clinton administration

Shear Modulus
Jun 9, 2010



https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_helicopter

The black helicopter is a symbol of an alleged conspiratorial military takeover of the United States in the American militia movement, and has also been associated with UFOs,[1] especially in the UK,[2] men in black, and similar conspiracies.[4][2][5][6]

Overview Edit

Stories of black helicopters first appeared in the 1970s, and were linked to reports of cattle mutilation.[7][8] It is possible that the idea originated in Hal Lindsey's book The Late, Great Planet Earth, published in 1970 and popular among conspiracy theorists. Lindsey conjectured that the locust-like creatures referenced in the Book of Revelation in the New Testament were actually helicopters, which John had never seen and thus did not know how to describe.[9]

...

Media attention to black helicopters increased in February 1995, when first-term Republican northern Idaho Representative Helen Chenoweth charged that armed federal agents were landing black helicopters on Idaho ranchers' property to enforce the Endangered Species Act. "I have never seen them", Chenoweth said in an interview in The New York Times. "But enough people in my district have become concerned that I can't just ignore it. We do have some proof."[10]

could a self-assembling self-replicating probe that communicates with copies of itself and some source via quantum entanglement project physical copies of itself ahead of itself, like by self-assembling and then harvesting energy and using that to propel a seed of a future self forward faster than it is currently moving, and proliferate throughout the universe, traveling and self-assembling along the cosmic currents we've observed moving entire groups of galaxies?

If we're talking about fringe science, there is this Chinese lady who claimed to have invented gravity propulsion in the 80s, patented it, founded a company, and then left her university and vanished off the face of the Earth:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ning_Li_(physicist)

Probably, she was just a fraud or deluded and did what frauds and deluded people do, which is just slink away and live in anonymity doing something else and it's just that nobody ever looks for them. Maybe she died. Or maybe things began to get very strange after that. Her job was at the University of Alabama, so I can see why someone would want to just walk away from that if they were not competitive for other physics jobs somewhere better.

I don't know poo poo about physics, so I don't know how good any of her stuff was, but there is this recent youtube video if anyone thinks it would be interesting:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS_rEzKdzBA

just from the wikipedia page it says she was a professor at university of alabama huntsville which since huntsville is a nexus of a lot of aerospace and defense companies (eg it's where von braun and his team were set up after operation paperclip) i don't think is as bad a gig as it sounds

I really recommend looking into the amount of energy needed for only one plasma ball matching the description and actions exhibited, much less the 16 or w/e actually present.

they invented free zero point vacuum energy but instead of using it to fly spaceships they use it to do fake spaceships

It's wild. The simplest explanation is that China or Russia has developed plasma and hologram tech decades, if not a century beyond what we have, and is using it to troll us. That by itself would be a revolution in physics that upends American military supremacy. The biggest story of the century even without aliens.

a more reasonable explanation imo is that the technology is in the hands of a more secretive group or person than china or russia. specifically, one jeffrey epstein, who is using the tictacs to monitor the world from his hidden lair at the bottom of the ocean
