Pentagon releases UFO footage

Firstly, I don't think anyone is trying to shut down something because it doesn't seem possible. People are making very bold claims, going on shows with millions of views, and telling people that they've seen things which defy the known laws, things which are totally incredible, without providing any evidence. Therefore it should be expected that people immediately cast doubt - because that's the right thing to do.

The moment people turn up and start making incredible claims, and people just 'accept' by default that they're telling the truth and we don't ask for evidence, or ask serious questions and scrutinise - it sets a very dangerous precedence, because people start believing in any old nonsense.



But this is the big pitfall, just because we can't prove or disprove to a degree of 100% whether something is true or false, somehow means that there's an almost equal possibility of it actually being true, therefore we mustn't rule it out, because we can't prove it's false.

In actual fact, you don't need to prove it as being false to say that it's astronomically unlikely to be true - because that's the truth, it's so unlikely, that it practically can be ruled out, it doesn't have to be proven to be false. We do however, have to reserve in the back of the mind, a place where in future - a wider range of evidence may come in that makes it far more possible, but only until that happens.

EG; Despite the sketchy reports from all over the place, that faith healing works, I don't have to waste time proving that it doesn't work, I just rule it out by default - because it's nonsense, and that's all that needs to be said.
No worries fella were not really going to agree on much so not really much point in going back and forth.

You can disbelieve I’ll remain open minded.
 
Erm. Because if the object behaved in the ways David Fravor says it behaved, to use his own words; 'disappeared' it wouldn't be conforming to the known laws.
Other than you taking a word too literally I didn't hear anything which broke the laws of physics.

Because they could not reach us without faster than light travel, which is impossible.
Not true.

Please get help.
:D
It is impossible due to the limits imposed by known laws of physics.

The closest exoplanet in the conservative habitable zone is Proxima Centauri b. It's just over 4 years away, and uninhabitable, but if we pretend it's full of high tech aliens they would take more than 4 years to reach us even if they could travel at the speed of light. Twice the speed of light would still leave them with a 2 year journey.

The next closest exoplanet in the conservative habitable zone is Luyten b (potentially habitable to micro-organisms) at just over 12 light years. And so on, and so forth. Aliens would need FTL travel, and some way of surviving years of space travel in order to reach us without dying along the way. That's not going to happen.



Neither of those examples involve breaking the laws of physics, and electricity already existed before we had the technology to generate it ourselves.
Your instant dismissal of a method to travel faster than light is also clouding your view of the sole ability for infinite travel through space via a craft which can have fuel sourced multiple ways and provide similar civilisational structure to small planets.

If the craft described by the commander is accurate, then what I've described is far from fantasy.

Going back to FTL, the sci-fi theory of travel via wormholes cannot really be debunked and has grounds.

Infinity still has speed limitations, if there is nothing for 20k light years, whenever they decide to start a journey, we not seeing them for another 20k years.
Let's say they left 22k years ago and have been here since Jesus...




I have a theory regarding the tic-tac shaped craft which is the extreme movement ability is from some form of gyroscope system internal to the structure, meaning there could be known propulsion systems within, masking expected byproducts (plumes, heat etc)

People just don't get this, they think we live in a Star Trek universe.
Any Alien that leaves their planet to visit an insignificant blue planet will be saying goodbye to everything they knew and arriving back to a world 40k in the future (or thereabouts).
 
All they are saying is the footage is genuine, it is a massive step to then go on and turn it into something else.

The footage is showing a craft that isn't like any of the pilots have ever seen before. It's unidentified (at least officially).

Well, that doesn't add up - because the footage in question (that the US military said was genuine), doesn't show anything untoward happening, it merely shows an unknown object, acting in a rather benign fashion.

Do you really think the Americans would be ok with an unidentified flying object zooming around their airspace?

In my opinion the Americans know what it is. I suspect its some kind of craft that will be revealed in the near future.
 
I'm not one for conspiracy theories at all tbh, they are often associated with absolute nut jobs who are full of crap and I prefer science to prove evidence of hypothesis and generally don't take too much notice of any of it. That said, this is very strange and I feel it is either a currently unknown technology from a nation state or is indeed not of this world. I've watched the Joe Rogan interviews with both the US Navy Pilot and that Bob Lazar chap. The naval pilot in my view was 100% credible in what he was stating, it was pretty factual and based on instrument and eye witness data. He is an expert aviator with results from multiple independent state of the art military radars and other sensors, that's hard to write off as simply equipment malfunction. The Lazar chap I'm still on the fence, the claim is just that insane on the face of it but does that mean that you should write it off completely? Declassified events over the years have produced some very interesting and true antidotes on a variety of topics, however the snippets of small information which he provided that were later validated decades later is very strange, he obviously had some exposure to a DoD environment, was it as he stated on the program he was involved in? We may never know. Either he has been an expert of deception over 30 years or there is *some* truth to what he is stating. It's mind blowing really, and I'm generally a sceptic of people like this.

Think about this, a random species 20k Light years away would have no real need to come to this unknown planet. However, a species older than imaginable who've cruised the universe in mini planet type crafts for millennia could well require use of our minerals on its journey.

An object that 'disappeared' those were his words. What else are you meant to glean from that? he's either lying or he saw something incredible, I think he's lying.

No it doesn't.

It shows an unidentified object doing nothing special at all, other than simply being observable, if it is doing something special - please link the video, with the exact time it occurs.

Whether they're ok with it or not, is neither here nor there - it was unidentified, it doesn't make an iota of difference either way whether they managed to identify it or not.

Nothing will be revealed, by anybody - because it's most likely a huge pile of nonsense.

You are saying 'craft', it is something on radar they can't identify - big difference

As much as I'd love it to be true Independence Day isn't real.
If they were proper intelligent Aliens who could fly massive distances they wouldn't be messing about like they do and I doubt they have a Prime Directive like Star Trek.

And we are so lucky to catch them on their pit stop at exactly the right time to film them from an aircraft out of Earths 4billion year lifespan.

It is most likely that there is no cheating in travelling, no worm holes, no warp drives and the sad thing is there is vast amounts of life out there but the distances are too great for communication.

Not exactly. What is funny is that Aliens themselves wouldn't need faster than light travel. From their point of view if travelling at the speed of light they get anywhere in the universe instantly. The closer to light you get the smaller the universe contracts. So at light you are anywhere instantly. Only the destination awaiting them would still need to wait the light distance years.

I can't have a sensible discussion with someone this divorced from reality. We're done here.

No.

You are assuming any alien species had vaguely similar physiology, etc. to ourselves. For instance very long life span, high tolerance against the effects of radiation, and ability to hibernate, etc. could mean that 70,000 years is just a blink of an eye to some theoretical species.

Well said. We are one planet in one solar system in the corner of one galaxy. Our species has existed for barely a fraction of the time our planet has been around which itself has existed for less then 2/3rds of the universes lifespan.

Go back 1000 years ago and present a mobile phone to someone, it will be indistinguishable from magic.

To presume that we know all there is about interstellar travel and what is possible and what is not to me is folly.
 
I've seen a couple of videos on it but it would take about 50 years at least from the perspective of the traveller to cross the known universe and there are a lot of issues with that beyond purely theoretical.

We are talking travelling exactly speed of light which is not theoretical it seems for now if not most likely ever.

Are you not thinking you have seen 50years if travelling 99.999999% or something similar

I would have to look it up again now but I seem to recall that you have to accelerate and de-accelerate to make it work which adds minimum time to it.

I'm not making any such assumption, I merely said they would need some way of surviving years of space travel in order to reach us without dying along the way (whether this means natural longevity or something else).

70,000 years though, good luck with that. Give me a working practical model for a super-intelligent species with that kind of lifespan.
