Interesting that the dept. of war documents aren't sufficient evidence of these points, what would be?

I get the sense it's mainly a question of who provides the information. There isn't a version of these documents that reinforces any public institutional consensus, so it's hard to separate insightful skepticism from mere narrative alignment.

Several of these look like balloons and birds. Two of them have already leaked before. Both of those are missiles being viewed with an infrared camera. One of them shows a missile passing through the field of view rapidly with a motion blur streak behind it. The other shows a missile performing maneuvers and a camera artifact showing a star-like diffraction+aperture artifact around the bright IR light source. None of…

For some reason, unlike most other commenters, yours doesn’t present the downvote button. I thought this might be a privilege of very high karma like other downvote-missing commenters i see sparsely lower down, but your karma is lower than mine and I get downvoted frequently enough. I’d like to understand HN’s community management functions better.

Sorry, did you forget the comment chain you were commenting on? This wasn't about files that were currently unreleased, it was discussing why Biden didn't release them during his presidency. As far as Trump goes, yes, he's implicated all over the files. A simple search on any search engine will find plenty of examples for you.

Obama and Biden didn’t release any though. Not one. Instead… The entire DNC spent a billion and a half on an election just on 2024 to lose historically. Lawfare. States trying to remove Trump from the ballots… all the had to do was release even one incriminating file. You must have seen files I haven’t. Please link to a file that implicates Trump in wrong doing.

>Obama and Biden didn’t release any though. Not one.

... Right, and I was addressing why that was the case. That's the discussion that was being had here. Seriously, are you aware of the comment chain you're commenting in?

>You must have seen files I haven’t. Please link to a file that implicates Trump in wrong doing.

Did you actually search at all? This was incredibly easy to find, and there are plenty more: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g0dzg6e4mo

The upcoming elections they are in the process of rigging.

Are you talking about Virginia where their constitution requires two legislature votes and an election between changing district maps? A fact everyone knew before attempting a redistricting to eliminate Republicans seats by forcing six districts to run through Fairfax… Or are you talking about something else?

There’s also all the crime trump and his cronies are trying to distract from that they’re doing by ignoring laws and taking bribes and stuff.

I live in the deep south. It's hard to describe how cult-like it is right now. Trump supporters are definitely "deranged". The amount of anger they have over things that will never affect them is unhinged.

Every person on Earth could agree that Earth is flat and it wouldn't affect the reality of whether or not extraterrestrials visit earth even a little bit.

True, but if you don't have sufficient knowledge of IR to assess the claim that a particular photo cannot be a bird, the tendency of the people making and believing that claim are usually equally confident that jet fuel cannot melt steel beams and that vaccines contain microchips is a compelling argument against it. Similarly the absence of a conspiracy of freemasons running something does not inhibit the existence o…

> if I was an intelligent extraterrestrial wishing to remain secret at a time of widespread interest in the possibility of extraterrestrials, I'd probably actively select the sort of people that might discredit the existence of UFOs by pattern matching all sorts of rubbish to reveal myself to.

I've read claims that the Cold War-era US Gov employed exactly this strategy on the people camping out along the fence at sites like Area 51, taking pictures of advanced aircraft under development. I.e., they actually took some people down into the basement and showed them "alien bodies" to confuse the Soviets.

Yes. It’s the other people who are bad and wrong. You aren’t wrong about anything; and they’re wrong about everything.

Amazing. What a remarkable coincidence!

Behold. The most comprehensive reports of high tech equipment malfunction in the history of humanity. It is no surprise the most incompetent administration in the history of the United States would release this obvious PsyOp to the public in order to distract from their own lack of competency.

The house of cards is crumbling and they are desperate.

Don't worry. It will be over in 3 years and we will have plenty of entertainment watching the current heads of state plead the fifth in their corruption trials.

Hang in there!
