Pentagon releases UFO footage

Another debunk Mick West got wrong.

lol did you even read the report??? :cry:

AARO could not determine the object’s size due to the video’s low resolution and the range from
the sensor to the object. However, pixel analysis (a method of measuring an object’s size based
on pixels relative to an object known dimensions) by AARO’s Intelligence Community partner
suggested the object was one meter or less in size - comparable to a small drone or bird.

It's also nice to be proven right:
Considerations of Parallax Effect
When the F/A-18 is flying into a headwind as shown in Figure 16, it and the UAP would be
moving in opposite directions. In the case with no wind, the UAP is moving in the same
direction as the F/A-18 albeit much slower. This situation is illustrated in Figure 20. On the left
of Figure 20 shows a side view of the event with no wind and on the right the event considering a
headwind. For each, the dashed arrows show the UAP starting and stopping points projected to
the surface. The distance between these two points (red arrows) is the perceived distance the
UAP traveled due to parallax. The longer the projected distance (red arrow) compared to the
actual distance traveled (black arrow) at 3,962 m causes the perceived high speed of the UAP in
the video. With a headwind and the UAP going in the opposite direction of the F/A-18, this
affect is amplified and the UAP speed appears much faster leading to higher likelihood of

misinterpretation.

And to finish:

AARO has high confidence that the
UAP did not exhibit anomalous or even exceptional behavior.

Whole thing was a total non-event, blown out of all proportions.
 
This is the normal Pottsey MO going back years in this thread. A very worrying inability to actually read these reports objectively and “conclude” the exact opposite of what they actually conclude.

Links a report stating “Mick West debunk debunked, and AARO rule out this being a balloon or bird… here’s the proof”.

Read report and…

The UAP was moving slowly and in the general direction of the wind.

Was less than a metre in size - comparable to a drone or bird.

Was flying at an altitude of about 13,000ft

AARO has high confidence that the
UAP did not exhibit anomalous or even exceptional behaviour.

So in fact the report Pottsey kindly linked for us, proves Mick West was correct that this was most likely “nothing special”.

For reference Mick West’s conclusion was ‘it was an ordinary craft and made no sudden moves’.

“lol did you even read the report??? ”
Yes I did and it showed its comparable to a bird or drone but not a bird as its moving too fast, with too high level of acceleration moving off centre from the wind.
There is no bird I am aware off that fly’s that high at that speed that can accelerate that fast at cruising flight. So in typical Felon fashion you LOL at me all because you read something wrong yet again.


“It's also nice to be proven right”
As per usual ingoing the bits that you got wrong. You called it a balloon drifting in the wind and just a bird going as far to call it a duck. Both of which are ruled out from the data. You also called it slow saying it only looks fast due to the Parallax Effect. But even taking into account the Parallax Effect it went from 72mph and accelerated fast to 161mph proving you wrong on calling it a duck or balloon drifting. Its neither slow or a bird. In fact its looking to be what I said was all along. A militry class drones which all the data is pointing towards that.



“This is the normal Pottsey MO going back years in this thread. A very worrying inability to actually read these reports objectively and “conclude” the exact opposite of what they actually conclude.”
I always said my believe are these UAPs are mostly militry class drones and not birds or balloons.

Lets look at the facts you seem to say I have an inability to read.
  • The object acceleration from 72mph to 161mph in a time frame that is impossible for a bird at cruise flight but is possible for a militry grade drone.
  • The object hit speeds of 161MPh off centre from the wind at 13,000 feet which is both too high and to fast for a bird but is reasonable for a drone militry grade drone.
  • The object is round/spherical which is a common feature on drones.
  • The object is going off centre from the wind at 92mph faster than the wind with high levels of acceleration just like a drone. The object is clearly self propelled and not just drifting in the wind.
You say I have an inability to actually read these reports, but can you even point out which bit I have apparently according to you got wrong? If I got something wrong show me the data. What did I conclude opposite to the report? You don't seem to like my conclusion its a militry class drone and its clearly not a bird so what do you think it is then?

All the data is pointing to it being precisely what I said it was all along. Based on the current data those of you that went against my posts are the ones that got it wrong. This is just a repeat of last time where you got all muddled up and falsely accused me of " further and further down the rabbit hole this past few years." yet I wasnt going down any rabbit hole and in fact turned out to be right.
 
I don’t care what you claimed it was all along. I’m dealing with your post linking the report.

You claimed it proved Mick West’s debunk was false. It proves no such thing.

From the report “Case Essentials” right on the first page.
Object Speed (reported): Appeared to move at high speeds
Object Speed (assessed): 5 mph - 92 mph

Yet here you are claiming the report concluded the object accelerated from 72 to 161mph. Yet the report concludes no such thing and in fact stated the object was moving at speeds no more than 92mph (accounting for wind speed) and exhibited no evidence of extraordinary behaviour.

Report Summary of Findings: High confidence the object did not demonstrate anomalous performance characteristics.

I’m not getting into a wall of text war with you while you dig even bigger holes for yourself. Your inability to actually objectively read your own linked report is laughable.

Perhaps you could read the report objectively. They subtracted wind speed so that 92mph is 92mph over windspeed. Total speed 162mph, wind speed 69mph or 70mph from the west. The object was moving off-centre from the wind and faster then the wind so logically has its own propulsion. You say the report says no such things. Here is the direct quote. "The object’s speed ranged from about 32 m/s (72 mph) to 72 m/s (161 mph)" They then go on to say they subtracted wind speed from the total speed to show its speed over the wind. See quote "The object moved 41.3 m/s (92 mph) faster than the wind, heading 12.3° off-wind." So its clear that 92mph is the objects speed over the wind not the objects total speed which was 161mph at peak.

The Mick West Debunk video I watched had Mick saying it’s a balloon tracked by a camera and given unnatural speed by parallax drifting in the wind. See

A: Mick was wrong about the artefact glare on the gimbal system which he mentions at the start of this video
B: Mick was wrong about GoFast being slow like a balloon at wind speed.

If you watch the video Mick conclusion was around 20mph to 40mph at wind speed with mention of balloons at wind speed. The experts clearly say 162mph at peak and 92mph over wind speed ruling out balloons or birds.

So as far as I can see despite you saying otherwise all my points are correct.



Exactly. It reeks of Dunning Kruger at best and outright confirmation bias at worst. Suffice to say all I see is someone woefully incapable of understanding their own linked data.
Ever looked into a mirror for self reflection? Go back and look at your past few posts objectively. From my point of view you and Felon are the ones suffering from Dunning Kruger. You two are the ones showing as incapable of understanding the data and an inability to actually objectively read. I presented facts and so far you failed to point out one single valid mistake while at the sometime making a bunch of mistakes yourself. (That goes to both of you).



You don’t know what you’re talking about.
What a weak response. The facts and evidence speak for themselves. If you want to play mental gymnastics to coverup you that you got it wrong go ahead. It makes no difference to me. As far as I am concerned its not about beating the other person. I only care about the facts and evidence and those are clear for everyone to see.

Q: can this thread get even worse?

A: seven hundred paragraphs in each post ignoring the six hundred paragraphs in the previous post

You fellas* are starting to make the on-the-fence crowd a little uncomfortable.

* also ladies.
 
LOL the entire UAP community is built on arguing over click bait YouTube videos, the whole thing was then boosted by the Grusch hearing.

Until someone provides actual hard evidence, this is all the community will amount to. Most rationale contributors gave up long ago.
Its almost like its all made up nonsense and always has been.
Lets go see if there is actual life in our solar system before we start jumping the gun on aliens somehow having the technology to find and reach us from another system and then seemingly doing nothing but zooming around in their spaceships. Its almost comical when you think about, intelligent beings just would not behave like that.

I'm sure intelligent life exists somewhere out there, but unless our understanding of physics and the universe is completely incorrect, we are never going to see them.
 
You linked a comprehensive report that totally demolished everything you said.

I don’t even need to respond, you’re arguing against yourself!
Your right, you don’t need to respond. Everyone can read the report and see how delusional you are acting. As this point it doesn't matter what you say as the evidence and facts speak for themselves.

There isn’t a single thing in that report that demolishes any of my core ideas of the past few years, but there are a ton of facts and evidence that tear apart your previously posted ideas about balloons drifting in the wind and ducks.

So keep up those mental gymnastics where you pretend the opposite is happening. Makes no difference to me.

I wouldn’t be so sure TBH, WiFi9 is looking pretty impressive.

Very interesting article, I wonder what happened to the photographers? I would take the men in black bit with a pinch of salt.

Are you aware of how stupid you look?

You bumped the thread with a post about how Mick West was apparently wrong again, (after you’ve called him a scammer, liar, fraud and god knows what else)

You then link a report that basically backs up 99% of what Mick West himself was saying!

You then start arguing with others who’ve also pointed this out, wtf :confused:

yea for example

"I am a self replicating probe, I was launched from earth on February 11th 2025I can travel at the speed of light and replicate a new probe once per day, those new probes also replicate once per day.how many earth years would it take to map the whole universe?"

Even with daily replication, you cannot beat the speed of light. Covering the radius of our current observable universe (~46+ billion light-years) would take on the order of 46+ billion years under idealized assumptions (and truly infinite if you consider the accelerating expansion in reality).

So if the question is, “How many Earth years would it take to map the whole universe?” then the straightforward—and somewhat sobering—answer is:

At least on the order of tens of billions of years, and practically speaking, you’ll never map all of it due to cosmic expansion.

people don't realise how big the universe is. the odds of encountering another species even if we live a billion years if probably slim to none.

the closest possibly earth like planet is only 4.24 -15 billion light years away..... and they would have to exist at the same time as us which is probably slim to no chance.

The odds of us surviving long enough and being able to leave this planet before it dies probably isn't great either.

Solar Evolution: In about 1–2 billion years, the Sun’s increasing luminosity is expected to heat Earth enough to evaporate its oceans. In roughly 5 billion years, the Sun becomes a red giant, making Earth inhospitable or destroying it entirely.

Bottom Line

  • Earth is habitable on the scale of hundreds of millions to a few billion years, giving a very wide window in cosmic terms.
  • The biggest “if” is whether human civilization survives its own near-term challenges and continues advancing technologically.
  • If we do survive and keep innovating, the probability of eventually leaving Earth for interstellar destinations seems high—even if that’s centuries or millennia away.
  • If we do not solve our current existential risks, the odds plummet to zero.
In short, our best guess is that it’s entirely possible—but by no means guaranteed—that we’ll settle beyond Earth (and even beyond our Solar System) before our planet is no longer habitable, because the planet’s “deadline” is on an astronomically long timescale compared to how quickly technology can progress.
chatgpt isn't even that convinced we will survive after the earth is no longer habitable.

I only look stupid to someone who doesn't understand the facts and evidence.

Since you seem to need a breakdown of events.
  • Mick West posted a debunk about it being a balloon drifting in the wind at sub 40mph
  • You, Felon said it’s a balloon and another time a duck at low speed.
  • I said its more likely a militry grade drone or similar.
The report comes out showing its moving at peak at 92mph above wind speed with a total speed of 162mph which is too fast to be a duck or balloon drifting in the wind. This 99% debunks Mick West video and 99% debunks your duck and balloon idea. But doesn’t debunk my militry grade drone idea and further more supports my idea because the object is drone shaped and moves at the speeds of militry grade drones.

Yet somehow you think I am the stupid one and somehow you twisted the report into the opposite to what it says and instead think this report demolished everything I said and backs you up.

Go on explain to me this magical species of Duck of yours that fly’s at 13,000 feet at speeds of 162mph which is 92mph above windspeed and off direction from the wind and moves like a militry grade drone while also having the same shape as a drone. Explain to me how this report demolished everything I said about the object possibly being a militry grade drone.

Explain to me how Mick West can say it’s a balloon at 40mph drifting in the wind. But somehow this report showing the object moving at a peak of 162mph off direction from the wind doesn’t debunk Micks Balloon idea. A balloon would be in the direction of the wind not off direction and for sure not 92mph faster then the wind.

Y’know, you could just say…

“Sorry guys, I was wrong all along”

I’m sure we’d all be willing to bury the hatchet :)
