What I do consistently see uniting all of these articles is Tom Delonge and TTSA, which has a big “Invest” button up at the top of their website.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to marketing in 2019. Looks like Tom Delonge is operating some kind of quirky investment scam. Next up, a Blink 182 reunion tour.

Reading the linked Vice article >"Based on pilot accounts, encounters with these UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena) often involved complex flight patterns and advanced maneuvering, which demand extreme advances in quantum mechanics, nuclear science, electromagnetics, and thermodynamics.” - Walker > Republican representative Mark Walker of North Carolina This is laughably stupid. QM and nuclear science? Can we call…

> This is laughably stupid. QM and nuclear science? I see nothing stupid with using quantum mechanics and nuclear science in this context. > Can we call out politicians for just throwing in words that they don't know what they mean? I'm sure they know what those words mean on a surface level. They don't really need to understand them beyond that point, it's not their job.

Me either, it's that R word making people sensitive again.

why don't you?

Nothing in any of the examples show anything remotely related to either fields.

It's a brash leap to judgement to presume that something unexplained is using phenomena that we're well aware of -- and it's a brash leap to presume that given a video of flight dynamics that one can understand the technological progression of history required to do so.

Example : If it was an alien, how do we know they didn't purchase the technology? How do we know that another race didn't gift them something beyond their comprehension?

If we're making big leaping judgements given small amounts of evidence, why not write an entire history and lore for these aliens that must exist, given that we saw an unidentified aircraft?

It's ridiculous to jump to such lengths when a much more reliable and proven answer to the question of unidentified aircraft is : 'Military experiment'.

Is it possible he’s just repeating something he read on a navy report? Genuine question.

I'm not sure why anyone in the Navy would say that to them, especially anyone with any type of engineering or science background. But if they did I'd be happy to shift the accountability, somewhat. Somewhat because politicians should also have BS meters, so holding their feet to the fire should also help tune this BS meter. Because let's be real, this is just absurd and should set off tons of BS meters.

Time for me to burn some karma.

What evidence do we have that these phenomena are strictly natural?

There are some ingenious explanations in this thread of how you could create something like this effect with known technology.

If we don't a priori eliminate it on the grounds it is impossible (as a Christian, I do not, but many here do), I imagine that supernatural beings trolling humans (especially modern scientific reductionists) could look a lot like this and is also a plausible explanation.

If you have a grudge against the concept of the supernatural, maybe think of it as "graduate students got drunk and starting messing with the Earth-universe simulation".

Tone it down, CSS. lol

Day or night? Quite a few of these turn out to be commercial airplanes at night.

Planes have blinking lights, right? These had none of those. They moved around in a non-linear fashion at will, they were intelligently operated. One of them disappeared in a flash... All the people there with me ruled out all the logical possibilities too, most of them were skeptics (including myself) before we saw them. We still joke about the ordeal when we see each other.

With a planefinder.net subscription you can look up historical flights and possibly determine if it was an aircraft. It happened here on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ufo/comments/cqa6ib/ufo_spotted_ove...
