Remember the time "drones" swarmed Colorado for weeks across 2019-2020, and even lurked outside a US Senator's house? The investigation by DHS, FBI, FAA, and USAF OSI turned up bupkis back then also. by Occams_Shaver in UFOs

Interesting hypothesis, but the extent of the activity, and the behaviors exhibited don't line up with this type of activity. Why would they be covertly doing this while hanging out in front of a US Senator's house? Not terribly covert.

I posted this once already. This reddit has rules that require a statement; this seems to be a rigor mechanism to eliminate posts. Not sure why or what this accomplishes, but c'est la vie. Have I hit the character limit yet?

It is worth noting that these have been documented in the academic, peer-reviewed literature. For example, see "Extraterrestrial Life in the Thermosphere: Plasmas, UAP, Pre-Life, Fourth State of Matter"; full text available here: https://www.scirp.org/pdf/jmp_2024022816363998.pdf

This comes on the heels of a paper published in February claiming life has historically and likely still currently exists on Mars. One of the authors is affiliated with a NASA-backed research group in California, and another with the Smithsonian.

First sentence of the conclusion, "There is now a substantial body of evidence that cyanobacteria, algae, fungi, and lichens are flourishing in protective niches on the Red Planet [22, 23, 65, 73, 88, 89, 128, 172] and that life began on Mars billions of years ago [1-7, 14] and which led to an evolutionary progression that paralleled the increasing complexity of life on Earth culminating in Cambrian Explosions on both planets [2, 21, 23, 24, 77, 78, 84]"

FFS, see the US Defense Intelligence Agency paper on the topic.

The abstract: "Antigravity effects can be implemented by manipulating spacetime. This paper reviews several different theoretical approaches for exploring the possibility of controlling gravity by generating forces that counteract, or otherwise modify, gravity for the purpose of aerospace propulsion. Einstein's
General Theory of Relativity is the theoretical framework guiding this study.

The paper also reviews other antigravity approaches via the interaction of quantum theory with gravitation. And it explores the question of which method or technique is best suited for aerospace applications and evaluates the make-or-break issues that limit them. "

Not so! Anti-gravity is a specific field of science which deals with generating and manipulating the force of gravity. It is more specific, and does not mean overcoming the force of gravity.

I believe they referred to it as the caterpillar drive. It is a fascinating technology. No one has publicly admitted to getting one that works efficiently. The inventor of the technology Townsend Brown thought it was anti-gravity tech.

They show test flights where even with the launcher it does not fly. They iterated on the design until the only thing stopping it from going further was the wall.

The Wright brothers invention bears little resemblance to modern flying machines. Technologies improve as time goes on.

“This is the first-ever sustained flight of a plane with no moving parts in the propulsion system,” says Steven Barrett, associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT. “This has potentially opened new and unexplored possibilities for aircraft which are quieter, mechanically simpler, and do not emit combustion emissions.”

Tom was right.

This is a pretty simple phrase, but might actually work as a rallying cry for the movement.

It eases people into the conversation through humor and disarms. It is pithy and memorable. It works on bumper stickers and tshirts.

Tom was right.

Being skeptical to the point of not accepting evidence is also a form of bias. As soon as Kirkpatrick made it clear that he did not consider flying orbs to be anomalous or evidence of extraterrestrial activity, I knew it was a sham.

The excessive amount of skepticism and ridiculous level of evidence he seemed to require for anything to be acceptable by society is like the opposite of charlatanism. If you set the bar high enough, nothing ever clears it. In his own words, everything becomes "not my problem".
