New context reports out reveal that objects are likely just consumer drones. Nothing to see or hear here.

"Objects could be drones
The newly released reports appear to share this assessment, describing many of the unidentified aircraft as "Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)," the Pentagon's official name for drone aircraft.
According to another incident report from November 2013 a Navy F/A-18 pilot "was able to visually acquire a small aircraft. The aircraft had an approximately 5 foot wingspan and was colored white with no other distinguishable features."
"Due to the small size, the aircraft was determined to be a UAS," the report said.
Another incident from June 27, 2013, said the encountered "aircraft was white in color and approximately the size and shape of a drone or missile," according to the report."

How many consumer drones have 5 foot wingspans? Serious question - not into drones.

I always laugh at the absurdity of people thinking aliens are just flying around on our planet in little spacecraft. If there were aliens that advanced, they'd make themselves known to everyone.

We spotted the non Star Trek fan. If they are that advanced they would have a prime directive. In the same way we don't let people just walk up to uncontacted people.. we pass laws to protect them an their backward ways. The odd idiot missionary not withstanding... and thankfully they often get a spear in the gut for their efforts.

So if we already pass laws to protect native populations. It seems likely to me beings advanced enough to come here, would also be socially advanced. Meaning they probably have laws to protect the locals they meet in their travels from contamination. We all might be on the biggest intergalactic reality show ever and not even know it.

Did you unironically use the prime directive as an argument? LMAO!
 
One of those Navy pilots (David Fravor) said the "tic tac" was about 40ft long. (that's a big drone) Plus stated it accelerated out of site and to another part of the AO 60 miles away in 30 - 40 seconds.

honestly we can’t assume either. They ARE alien so any potential thought process could be entirely different from ours. We just have no way of knowing. For all we know they might not even consider us intelligent and might be more interested in talking to dogs. Or whales. ;)

point is it’s really hard to ascertain motivation without any basis but our own to go own. And using our own is well quite frankly very dangerous

Uh, quite many actually. And these can do some gravity defying maneuvers too..

'flight' starts after 1 minute mark.

like I said not into drones so I didn’t really know the answer. I wouldn’t have expected a lot of people to own and fly something this large. Most of what I’ve seen is very small.

UltraTaco said:
Sure it was, and pilots are super experts at identifying objects while traveling at high rate of speed. I'm sure he could also make out the pilot controlling unidentified object too!

Actually...we aren’t so bad. I can usually tell you what kind of aircraft is passing by me as I fly. I’ve seen A10s, F22, F16 etc. they all have distinct shapes and we can spot them.

Does Walmart carry those drones? Also, that drone ignored the FAA rules. Have to keep in sight. So going flying a drone 60 miles away is definitely out of sight. People I tell you. Always ignoring the rules.

Bob Lazar lol. The dude who has fake degrees and ran a prostitution ring.

i did hear about the prostitution ring, didn't that get mostly cleared up in the end? didn't he clean up his act on that?
 
If extra-terrestrial UFOs did exist, i'm sure that one of the dozens (hundreds?) of privately owned satellites that can discern a person from orbit would have picked up on it at some point.
 
We will be invaded by aliens soon via project bluebeam

They have to get you Joe Smo the general public convinced that weve been tracking them for a long time so you will accept when the invasion happens.
 
hummmm.... I know somebody who knows somebody who knows some aliens, who have been here for a long time (they built the pyramids)....and yes, they know that we know that they know that you know too, so just get over it & be happy, hahaha :ROFLMAO:..:smuggrin:..:athumbsup:

I don't believe in aliens from another planet coming to earth but if there are and you were one of them would you be willing to turn yourself over to human Governments? No way that I would ...

PS .. why is it they always look a lot like us and never need to wear a breathing device?

PSS ... tell me again, just how fast was that F-18 going when it snapped that VID?

600 knots (~ish). .89 Mach.

And I agree it's pulp Sci-Fi for the aliens to look like us and tolerate our atmosphere. Or even to get here in something the size of a small commuter aircraft.
