It could be CGI, but an actual bug? Not at all if you analyse the vídeo closely. The “bug” appears several miles away, following the mountains, and crosses the camera in just a second. That's not a real real bug. But lets try again: watch all of the following: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4tDSbqa8tyOLSOhF82YkiP7u...

You do most definitely not have a single piece of data that tells you that it appears "several miles away". It does not. It appears a few tens of meters away, at the very most.

It does. This data is in the video itself. Just look into the trajectory of the “object” in the video, or watch some of the analysis that were done about it.

An eccentric billionaire constituent of Harry Reid that was obsessed with UFOs forced the armed services to go on a wild goose chase a few years back. This is the result.

Who was that constituent? What evidence do you have that he had any influence on Harry Reid?

Was this a conscious contact? Would be interesting to read about this experience.

Since this is the HN crowd, I'll explain it this way: if you assume your brain is a biological machine, what if you could decipher its firmware and hack into it? What if you could remotely exploit it and take over its sensory inputs? It's hard to say if a contact is "conscious" or not because "they" seem to have the power to exploit and control it, to communicate by sending symbolic language and imagery. Contact is d…

Thank you! But how do you know that your brain did not just make it up? How to distinguish between real and imaginary?

That is exactly the difficulty. I have a picture of an object in the sky (which I reported to MUFON) that occurred before this happened. But I have no evidence, other than the fact that other humans also witnessed the object, that it was real.
