UFOs, Bigfoot. Wow it's like a whole lot of nothing happens when pocket HD cameras were invented.
Shame really. I was looking forward to 4K UFO footage.
UFOs are confirmed real though, it's just very difficult to film a super fast moving object in the distant sky. You can barely take a decent picture of a flying bird without thousands of dollars of equipment, let alone a super fast tic tac thingy. And allegedly there is better footage/evidence that the US government has managed to get on UAPs, and Congress is working on getting it disclosed as we speak
*Guys I didn't say aliens are real, or that every UFO sighting is real, just that UFOs are real and there are legitimate sightings. The navy has confirmed this, and the scientific community and defense industry are taking these things seriously. We still have no idea what they are though. Hence the unidentified status...
UFOs are just Unidentified Flying Objects. This can be anything fron weird weather patterns that manifest weirdly on camera to birds (as you mentioned) that the Air Force/ govt mistook for being potentially something else. Just because a flying object is unidentified doesnt mean it's an "alien" or anything more nefarious that anyone else may suggest.
This video did a good job at explaining why the US government has historically hidden "evidence" of "UFOs," (at least for me anyway). A major reason being to prevent public panic at the height of Cold War tensions.
Please tell us who confirmed this?
The Air Force? There are definitely UFOs. Now are they local? Or otherworldly? Not sure.
In this case op is clearly referring to aliens.
Otherwise saying UFOs are confirmed real is bit of a conundrum. It's like saying not knowing the contents of this closed box are confirmed real.
The problem is the terminology doesn't match. When others use UFO to refer to any unidentified object, and they have proof, that proof doesn't mean alien UFOs have proof.
UFO absolutely holds connotations of aliens, and has for half a century. That's why the term UAP began use, to separate official documentation for the implication of aliens. And OP clearly referring to aliens.
Was definitely referring to aliens. Catching "balloons of unknown origin" aren't as exciting unless it's shot down by a F22.
Well yea. Failing to identifying what it actually is makes it unreasonable to say it's not an alien craft.
That's debatable. Are you saying that a closed box has an equal chance to contain an alien than any other object? Is it reasonable to say there is a chance that any closed box is containing an alien? I would say the answer is no.
That's a weird way to phrase a question. It's unknown. Being unknown it could be remote controlled, secret, or not of this world. What is in there? Only who or what is inside would know.
You are suggesting that any flying object, prior to identification, can reasonably be suggested to be of alien origin?
I'm saying that it is unreasonable, because we currently have no evidence to suggest that any flying object has been of alien origin. There is no evidence of land based objects with alien origin. There has been no hard evidence in the history of human record to suggest that even a single thing on Earth has ever been linked to extra-terrestrial intelligence.
Yet, you are saying that it's completely reasonable to suggest that any flying object that is yet to be identified by one or more observers has any likelihood of being of alien origin.
By extension you have to admit then that any object (whether flying or not), while unidentified, could reasonably be suspected of being of alien origin. So whatever is in that box could be extra terrestrial.
I think people sometimes get confused on the term. "UFO" does not mean the same thing as "alien spacecraft". Anything in the sky that can't be identified is a UFO.
They're talking about that one guy who (I think) was in the Navy and was addressing the US Congress, or something.
It's a nothing burger and likely just a distraction tactic for other American political stuff.
I want to believe but I'm certain most credible accounts were people seeing experimental aircraft. I'm sure the SR71 and F117 were both seen as UFOs of their day til they were somewhat declassified.
Lol why a tic tac? 😂
I made this a couple years back when those navy vets came forward with their UFO stories (you might remember the special on 60 Minutes about it) and they all described them as looking like a tic tac. So it was probably just a psy op to make people buy yummy sugar mints or something
Dem aliens are definitely real
That still exists, CGI has gotten cheaper and more accessible too
That’s right! Corridor Digital is all up on the CGI UFO’s lately. They just made a hoax Tesla 3 cam vid
We destroyed all the magic in the world.
You’re goddamn right!
Harumpf!
And I mean that.
The US Navy "GOFAST" video is pretty cool. At least the technology for locking on to whatever it is that was.
