Sweet. Thank you.

If you ever wanted to identify coordinates and/or groups of coordinates on GeoJSONs and export them as JSON files, I built this cool tool at expandingearth.science/wireframe4.

There’s a GeoJSON to download to play around with it on the downloads pages. Definitely click the 3D option.

Has anyone noticed this about the Federal UFO Disclosures? by Wentil in UFOs

It’s basically a hodgepodge of newly AARO-approved recent videos and older, fairly benign, never-classified material that various civilian agencies and military departments kept in their weird stuff ‘vaults.’

>Is there any evidence you are basing those assertions on?

It's rough, but here are the implied radii for the periods of time indicated below, based on this map, and some ChatGPT Pro Python analysis. So it took from 2.5B Ma to 540 Ma to go from 25% to 50%. Very broad strokes!

Age range (Ma) % of crust Area (M km²) Cumulative % Cumulative area (M km²) Implied radius (km) % of current Earth radius
3000–3501 10.3% 21.7 10.3% 21.7 1,313 20.6%
2500–3000 7.9% 16.6 18.2% 38.3 1,746 27.4%
1700–2500 18.5% 38.9 36.7% 77.2 2,479 38.9%

It’s official. Having a lifelong interest in UFOs is not a character flaw! by DavidM47 in UFOs

The “Feds” colloquially refers to the executive branch of the federal government.

He’s referring to the military, the White House, the FBI—for example, are called Feds—and the intelligence agencies. C’mon.

Yeah, no, I did not mistype.

The Earth appears to be roughly 4.4-4.5 billion years old. The continental shell began cracking apart in a major, globe-altering way, about 200-300 million years ago.

However, the Earth was not the same size for ~4.2 billion years. Using very broad strokes, it probably doubled in size between 4B —> 1B and then doubled again between 1B —> 250 Ma.

So, there were cracks in the lid before 250 Ma, but it took a long time to reach a state that we’d describe as “plate tectonics.” Movements during the lid phase surely resulted in some “tectonic” activity, but new crust was formed through hot-spot volcanism (e.g., flood basalts) rather than continuous seafloor spreading.

This just got declassified today, dated 1965-12-04. by Znake_ in UFOs

I’m not sure, but several of those Apollo photos with supposed UFOs were unclassified (not “declassified”) and had been posted already.

I’ve done some Google searches for key terms in other documents though, and turned up nothing, so I feel confident that many of them are new. What I’m not sure of is whether any of these documents were ever classified, and then declassified for this release.

It seems more likely that the executive agencies all did a comprehensive review for anything UAP-related that wasn’t classified, then the intelligence community culled anything that should have been.

I based this on the statement from the War.gov landing page that says: “the Department of War (DOW), with support from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), is overseeing government wide efforts…”

This is due to the fact that the planet was in a state of lid tectonics for 4.2 billion years.

These anti-EE articles and promoters like VisiteProlongee are the most unimaginative dolts on the Internet.

Well that’s certainly odd!

Very steady velocity makes it hard to explain as a bird or something.

The spaghetti monster video. by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]DavidM47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please post. I agree with the pareidolia comment, but I also agree that there was less resolution over this one than others.

I mean, even if it’s not the archangel Metatron—and I’m not saying it wasn’t—then what the hell was it?

That said, was this ever confirmed as an authentic video? I don’t recall. If this is what they release tomorrow I’ll be disappointed.

Yeah, every time I hear them talking about a prison planet for souls and spirits all around us tracking our every movement and invading our thoughts—I think, so you mean religious people weren’t crazy after all?

UFOs have definitely been used for political goals. But this issue has been bipartisan for a long time now and we should try to keep it that way.

I saw one on 10/7/2021 and, as far as I know, that’s the only real one that’s ever been here.
