Weird Stuff (tinfoil hat wearing goons only, please) - The Bear and Badger

I had a quick look at aircraft lights because apart from balloons the UFO things are nearly always lights. Aeroplanes have lots of lights - landing lights, taxi lights, strobe lights, beacon lights etc, but they fall into two broad groups.

First lot is for the pilot so he can see stuff when taking off and landing and these are then turned off while in the sky. These are called pilot visibility lights.

The second lot are as a warning to others to avoid collisions etc. These are called aircraft visibility lights and are used once in the sky.

So it would seem UFO lights are aircraft visibility lights, alien or human. Either way they want to be seen. If it is aliens it would appear their aircraft are as shite as ours at avoiding collisions so they need to tell human pilots not to get too close, which seems a bit at odds with the tremendous technological feat it would take to get here. Maybe they're just shit at atmospheres which would explain all the crashing.

Nearly all lights are our aircraft but not always is the point of interest.

UAP lights possibly a type of field generation but if the occupants have eyes, illumination has to be useful also. Crash retrieval is an umbrella term and the craft could be gifted, archaeological or more recently downed by EMP weapons.

Members of the US Congress accessing a secure facility to read the whistleblower’s claims tomorrow…

I think the main reason crop circles aren't aliens is that a couple of blokes admitted it was them years ago and explained exactly how they did it.

It's trivially easy and loads of people have done it. I don't know why people would be so amazed/baffled by 2D geometry marked with flattened plants and think it might be evidence of aliens. I'd expect something more bizzare like perfect holes through mountains or Roadside Picnic style anomolies from an interstellar race.

This may be in the tin/propeller hat zone, but the Prime doc I referred to earlier acknowledges the two guys and still does raise some interesting questions. There is one person who goes on about aliens but 90% of the doc is of a technical nature about how they are done. There is supposedly measurable science that shows differences between known hoaxes and some others. This may equate to just far cleverer hoaxers who are yet to be identified.

Space is one big EMP weapon. Stars are huge and terrifying EMP emitters. Pretty sure alien spacecraft should be able to handle that shit.

I remember seeing this old video back in the day. Had forgot about it until it was trawled up again in the Prime doc.

If, as is likely, it is a hoax, it's rather clever. Bear in mind the time this was shown pre CGI etc.

davyK

Reminds me of ball lightning which is a weird and fascinating natural phenomena - or is it????

Without precise calculations they could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end their trip real quick, wouldn't it?

SpaceGazelle

Yeah. So you see how the chance of them crashing or being shot down is pretty remote? If they don't want to be seen you wouldn't see them and you sure as shit couldn't shoot one down. This isn't Independence Day.

SpaceGazelle

All this reminds me of the Hitchhikers Guide.

“Teasers are usually rich kids with nothing to do. They cruise around looking for planets that haven’t made interstellar contact yet and buzz them.” “Buzz them?” Arthur began to feel that Ford was enjoying making life difficult for him. “Yeah,” said Ford, “they buzz them. They find some isolated spot with very few people around, then land right by some poor unsuspecting soul whom no one’s ever going to believe and then strut up and down in front of him wearing silly antennas on their head and making beep beep noises.”

Presumably the UAP propulsion have some operating frequency and directed energy could give them a wobble, same for atomic weapons tests.

Probably magic

Did you hear what I said about space? Stars, pulsars, quasars, black holes. There are terrifying gamma ray bursts coming from everywhere that make a nuclear weapon seem as menacing as a pea shooter.

SpaceGazelle

I mean, even a decent solar flare is a equivalent to a few million nuclear bombs.

bad_hair_day

Stars are quite far apart.

SpaceGazelle

Fun science fact. Yer average supernova emits 10^28 megatons of energy. That's a few octillion nuclear warheads.

They certainly are. Lol shoot them down.

bad_hair_day

Another fun science fact: any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

SpaceGazelle

Yet we can shoot them down because they're idiots.

Paul the sparky

SG will like that.

Not a lot, but he'll like it

monkey

This is your reminder that future humans could easily bumble arse backwards into time travel and turn up in all sorts of wacky half-arsed contraptions.

SpaceGazelle

Future YT pranksters.

Alien drones and we’re the idiots, potentially starting some beef (although probably had their fill of cows).

djchump

They're not unmanned drones because we have the alien bodies. They're all locked up in Area 42 and being experimented on along with the captured spaceships. You'll all see on Thursday when all the proof gets released!

bad_hair_day

Not all surveillance probes, historically anyway.

I think it's actually Level 42. Apparently them aliens have a thing for the white boy funk.

Yowser!
