NY Times had a UFO/US declassification feature on the top of their main news about a day ago (beating out the Supreme Court shinanegans!), then took it down within the hour and hid it somewhere (it's findable in the politics section, weirdly, not tech or science). If that was a one-off feature I'd be like "sure," but they've also got a couple of regulars writing now in their opinion section about how the US government is probably possibly very likely preparing us for a huge secret release of a longstanding cover-up. I used to like NYT because they were one of the quasi-normal ones that seemed to do their research when reporting, but between this ongoing wacky alien obsession and some of the other sensationalized pseudoscience crap they've been putting in their science and tech sections, I'm thinking of moving on. Maybe their science writers just suck, but that seems to be the case on every news outlet right now.
So Papua New Guinea may not have given Avi Loeb permission to take his little metal balls from their ocean. I will laugh heartily if the living embodiment of the "Aliens!" meme causes an international incident
Fighter pilots talking about UAP footage recorded from an F-18. They think it looks like real footage, but not necessarily aliens.
"I saw some stuff. I have no evidence. But I have these sources. Man, if you saw what I saw." NOTHINGBURGER.
Lol this was so stupid. I am like 99% certain aliens exist but I am also 99% certain they haven’t been to earth. I think these people are just high and or seeing classified military craft they can’t explain.
Being an oldster who has always been fascinated by UFOs, I do find it funny that it used to be that the government was saying "Nah" and folks thought they were lying, and now that more and more government sources/government-related sources are saying "You know what? There is something to this" ...folks think they are lying. I guess the idea that the government is ALWAYS lying has some justification, but.... Personally, I think "interdimensional" seems more likely to me than "extraterrestrial", based on my tremendous lack of scientific training or knowledge, and backed by years of science fiction movies and pulp novels.
I feel like the part of the government that I'd trust with any competency on this topic has been pretty consistent about not having any evidence to substantiate aliens.
How come no one is considering the possibility that these sightings represent life-forms from deep in the ocean? We haven't explored even a fraction of what's deep beneath the waters of this planet. I find that a far more plausible than an extraterrestrial explanation.
Did we really think the puppet government was going to publicly state that they are in possession of the cadavers of our Reptilian overlords who were just flying in their advanced managerial shuttles?
“Extraordinarily claims requires extraordinary evidence.” - Carl Sagan This isn’t a nothingburger, given that the person testifying is not just a random whack job. But it is also nowhere near enough evidence to suggest anything more than the existence of some as-yet unexplained phenomena.
Or this is a case of a random whack job who also happens to not have a random job. We will need real evidence. Definitely more than black and white fighter jet video. The two biggest hurtles for deep space travel and lifeforms are the distance and time. Deep sea ‘aliens’ remove both of those factors. Alien life from our own solar system greatly reduces those factors. There is still so much to learn about our own solar system. Moons of Jupiter are still being discovered. 12 were officially added this year. Until there is physical evidence of alien life my conclusion is these objects fighter jets are detecting are either equipment glitches or man made.
