Everyone wants X Files but it's just countries spying on each other and military experiments. Anything fantastical like the mummies are news spectacles meant to drum up publicity. There's no reason why aliens would match cartoony depictions made up in science fiction. If actual aliens are here it basically means travelling faster than light is possible.
It's likely even more boring than that. These grainy, blurry, IR images are artifacts, birds, balloons, the Moon, commercial aircraft, stars, satellites, and other common things that can look weird from certain angles/perspectives/lenses/sensors.
I'd be super happy to be proven wrong but people really want to believe there's more out there and it's visiting us but I'm going to need more solid proof than some noisy and blurry images and some silly-looking chimera mummies in a box.
Yeah the vast majority are just artifacts or weather phenomena, and the only material evidence is clearly man made tech. Also when people describe aliens they, big surprise, match depictions in science fiction.
Tic tac was recorded on video by the navy accelerating at ~200G. It was also witnessed by 8 highly trained aircrew, including top gun graduates.
200g *if * they are interpreting what they see correctly. A sensor artifact doesn't need to respect any flight characteristics.
Being experts in one field doesn't make them experts in whatever may be causing the tic tac.
Mhmm Sure thing
Flir.mp4 at the bottom. NASA analyzed gofast which is the least interesting of the 3.

Idk why these people are all denying these uaps when the government has literally come out and confirmed they are their videos and confirmed they they do not know what they are. They won’t even click your link to a .mil url because they’re so far up their own assholes.
They're probably just trolling to anger others. Or truly ignorant of the confirmations.
I think a lot of the people that completely write the UAPs off as a hoax, or dismiss them as a mistake, are at least slightly scared by the implications of what these observations could mean.
The UAPs seem to break our understanding of the laws of physics, and our military and intelligence communities seem to be genuinely stumped by them. Even if these craft are being controlled by an unknown government or group of humans, it is still terrifying that they managed to make such advancements while hiding them from the rest of the world.
I have always been pretty skeptical. I won't even try to begin to claim I know what these things are, or where they come from. Despite that, the evidence that they exist is getting pretty hard to deny.
I just can't think of another reason why so many people want to mock and avoid the topic, besides fear and angst. This could be one of the biggest discoveries or paradigm shifts of our entire history as a species, with or without aliens being involved.
The most likely scenario is von Neumann probes IMO.
I would bet on the same.
Btw, if you are the og Poem_for_your_sprog from reddit, I just want to say thanks for the beautiful poems. You always made the comment section better.
For the person who downvoted, what's your reason why? I'm honestly curious.
Skinwalker ranch. Just look into it. There’s also a show which is quite good (although cheesy) but they do obtain scientific evidence of phenomena.
