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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

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...

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The Air Force? There are definitely UFOs. Now are they local? Or otherworldly? Not sure.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (6 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Was definitely referring to aliens. Catching "balloons of unknown origin" aren't as exciting unless it's shot down by a F22.

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Dem aliens are definitely real

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That still exists, CGI has gotten cheaper and more accessible too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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.

The US Navy "GOFAST" video is pretty cool. At least the technology for locking on to whatever it is that was.

Below is an image of Pingu from the TV show of the same name sitting in a chair, flippers folded, legs swinging and eyes narrowed in anger, with the text alongside him reading "well now I am not doing it"

Thank you, fellow human 🤖

Honestly, the fact that ghosts and monster sightings appear less when we have MORE cameras, leads me to some very depressing conclusions.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Maybe Bigfoot just don't like people with cameras because he'd rather we all just live in the moment

Don't worry, they're making a comeback now that AI image generation is better.

Axchuatlly, one of the miracles for mother Theresa’s canonization was that someone took a really nice picture inside of one of her houses of pain and suffering

God works in mysterious ways - any religious person.
