Hey, I don’t buy cheap shit. I said this when I bought my Basslab, my Purple mattress (seriously, folks: They’re nice), and my All-Clad: Buy it right, buy it once. If aliens are holding on to the good stuff, then I want in.

Those ET’s are at the least very good pilots. I doubt they are on drugs and if they are is probably microdosing psilocybin

I guess for those of us that find aliens and UFO's interesting, none of this stuff is surprising. Just seems like someone somewhere decided to flip the switch and finally admit it to the public from a government standpoint.

Once full disclosure happens, it'll be interesting to see if we'll get to see what was top secret shit vs real other-worldly ships. Hell, I'd be happy with free energy.

that has me even more worried than the ET's , when the government is now ready to talk about shit like this is because maybe a whole lot of people have gone missing , like a whole island somewhere and the government is trying to get ahead of that news lol .

Supposedly our government has been in talks with a group called the Galactic Federation. Imagine if what we're being told is still just the tip of the iceberg.

Yeah that former Canadian Minister of Defence Paul Hellyer talked about this shit years ago. Sounds whacky but idk why an old ass man would pull that shit out of his ass either

I think it is all interesting. But I am also ambivalent to it. If it is true or false I won't be surprised either way. Like I said, I learned all about this stuff years ago thanks to Art Bell :lol:

I think that our own technology development proves that it's simpler and more efficient to do surveillance remotely. So if aliens have the technology to travel to earth they most certainly have the technology not to need to.

This "get on a ship and go" thing is based off of old paradigms. Looks at how we do surveillance at other govts today vs 50 years ago. Its all drone, satellite, spyware etc.. And the more technologically advanced we get the more we go into that direction.
So :idk: these tales of ships with green aliens seems highly improbable to me.

I do believe there's intelligent life somewhere in the universe and it's plausible that they have an interest in us.
However, if they have the level of advancement to surveil our planet, it's much more likely that they'd do so by using nanotechnology capable of transmitting incredibly immersive VR while being invisible to us, rather than sending a clunky ship to dangle in front of a black and white radar lol

Those images from the Nimitz cam from newly installed IR cameras that had yet to get calibrated. The dots seem to magically follow the camera because they are likely a camera artifact.

The UFOs disappeared about the cameras were calibrated.

No you're right, the cameras were never calibrated, those techs that came in were actually g-men blinding the camera to aliens.

This is the thing that drives me wild.
We're already sending personless probes to other planets and into the galaxy. Cell phones and airplanes would seem like voodoo magic to people only a few generations back. What kind of tech that is possible, especially that which could be developed on another world, would seem that way to us now?

That said the one thats really interesting to me is David Fravor's "tic tac" after him talking about it on Lex Fridman's podcast.
Based on the various things he said and multiple witnesses of the same things from different angles throws the artifact thing out the window.
But still the jump to aliens seems fast.
Why not time traveling AI probes sent from the future to make sure we don't blow it?
Why not vessels from a hidden hyderadvanced deep sea (Atlantis) civilization?
Do either of these seem less plausible than aliens? Why?
Or simpler yet why not some super advanced skunk works project that includes some insane break throughs that seem not currently possible?

Ya'll remember rods and the people that suggested there were these giant creatures that just turned out to be bugs up close and funky frame rates?
While I'm not saying every instance here but how many of these will potentially be explained away once we come across some similar revelation(s)?

i guess my point is its definitely worth paying some attention to with the types of people from the government confirming that things they are but jumping right into aliens doesn't make a whole ton of sense to me.

I'm not sure about the skunkworks idea. Many of these things seem many orders of magnitude advanced over our current best tech. Unless it is reverse engineered alien technology - then we're right back to aliens anyway.

Aliens is the Hail Mary play for a global paradigm shift. We need it to be aliens. It’s either aliens or bring on the meteor.

I see that as a definite possibility - to usher in the NWO.

And I know not too many of you guys are religious, but if the rapture were to happen in the near future, you KNOW it would be chalked up to aliens.

Yeah I don't doubt they saw something. Most likely it's a rare natural phenomenon, not yet explained.
For thousands of years things like earthquakes, tsunamis etc were attributed to "angry gods". But these are common enough that we were able to study them in detail by now. But if there's something that occurs every few thousands of years without leaving trace or damage, it would still be unknown.

The correct answer really is "we don't know". People have trouble admitting that sometimes and make shit up like religion or alien stories and equate them to knowledge but they're not. There's a lot about our planet - let alone the universe- that we just don't know. We've learned a lot in the past few centuries, especially the last one, but we're not close to fully understanding our planet yet.

It could also be experimental technology that exists only in the most classified realm.
