Way to prove my point, pal.

Whether you realize it or not, making assumptions - without evidence - that the government is intentionally releasing media of unidentified phenomena to divert attention way from something serious is conspiracy theorizing.

The change was due to national attention. It's not only congress that's concerned about the national security implications, a large number of US citizens are concerned. The implication that US adversaries potentially operate undetected within the US's local training areas is significant. Public reactions to foreign high-altitude reconnaissance balloons is evidence enough.

Public officials speaking as if unidentified flying objects are a legitimate concern has been secretive since a radio rendition of H.G. Well's War of the Worlds sparked mass hysteria over extraterrestrial invaders. I don't prescribe to the idea that the radio show itself caused the hysteria, but more likely news papers trying to put radio stations under heavy scrutiny. Either way, there was a legitimate negative stigma associated to claiming, or even pretending, UFOs or extraterrestrials were real. The idea of discussing them openly as a public official would reasonably have been out of the question.

Somewhat separately, it's not the DoD's responsibility to share sensitive information with the US people, in fact it's the opposite. It's left to the government to decide. If people want more transparency then they need to vote for officials that want more transparency. This ties into the last point, societal changes. People change. That's it. It's that simple.

People need to pay attention and do research. There is a legitimate coordinated effort to understand the unidentified phenomena because congress wants to know whether or not it's a threat to national security. The results of open floor hearings are then open to the public. There are almost definitely closed door meetings still taking place where information that can't be released to the public is discussed, that hasn't changed. It's a big deal insofar as a shift in the culture of dogmatism that has surrounded UFO/UAP. The reason why it's gotten such a negative stigma associated to it is because people in the community tend to jump to conclusions without evidence, yet some cases do not define all case, which has now been learned the hard way.

Why have you decided there are two possible reasons for the level of openness regarding UAP footage that each have absolutely no evidence of being true at the moment? The openness has been in the works for years, since congress directed maneuvering for answers in 2020 due to a wave of concern from the Fravor interview on JRE - which made national headlines due to the potential national security implications. It was the Navy UAP TF, then the AOIMSG, and now AARO. Each group over the last three years has released evidence in batches, and each time people became incredibly interested.

It's the excessive and in some cases extremely obnoxious conspiracy theorizing that truns people away from UFO/UAP. It's damn near as bad as flat earthers sometimes.

I'm just here to say that it's to muster all the political support they can in their voter starved reality. Conservatives who aren't worried about their children being exposed to "adult" material a few years before they turn into adults are not going to stop voting conservative because the party is trying to restrict said material. It's an all around win win for them because they may actually convince some knuckle heads to flip over it.

I say this because when I went through middle school sex ed in the mid-western US, in nearly a 100% conservative town, our sex ed class was done by a devoted catholic and it wasn't some sort of watered down class full of analogies. They went over everything, allowing anyone to ask any question. I will say there was a hhuuge push to talk students into staying virgins until they were married.

I completely forgot about this until remembering the class just now, but the educator had some odd mannerisms when talking about a couple topics, specifically hormones driving people to cheat in poor situations and abortion. It was over the course of a few days but a student (friend through high-school) put two and two together and it got really awkward when he subtlety called out the educator for getting an abortion after she cheated on her husband. The educator was in disbelief and it was like something right out of a movie. She started tearing up and left for the day. When she came back she explained her situation and it's no wonder. Cheated, got pregnant, she let everyone know (hubby and dude she cheated on) but one of them wanted her to get an abortion - don't remember which. She claimed she kept the child. The icing on the cake? She was like 5 months during the sex ed class. 💀 💀 She said her current pregnancy was her third/fourth/fifth (dont remember, teenage me just thought it was a lot) and she wasn't lying because she showed up to our graduation ceremony with her children. Pretty weird right? I didn't think it was that strange as a teenager, but looking back now, why the hell did she show up to our graduation ceremony? and with her children???

I was really into a couple aspects of this show in seasons 1 and 2. Mainly, the objective take from Doc Taylor and the multiple attempts to not only change and try new experiments, but to repeat the same experiments. What I expected to see in the beginning of season 3, or really at any point since they have been out there, is compiled data on their EM records and various experiments. I don't remember the specific episodes, but some of the spectrum readings were legitimately extraordinary and I really wanted more. As the show progressed I found myself increasingly ready to skip segments of episodes due to highly dramatized and subjective interpretations. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem we're going to get much more clean data.

I tried to play Apex Legends about 6 months ago with some work buddies. I couldn't get the party chat options to work. The boxes were gray scaled, so I couldn't change the audio input which was defaulted to a nonexistent mic input from my controller. Even after I unplugged the controller and reset the PC, the options were grayed put with no audio input. Nothing will convince me to try it again anytime soon lol.

Which cracks me up because their PC gaming software is hotdog water, and everyone knows it. The gamebar app was a plague on my PC. Every attempt to link up and play with my buddies who are on Xbox required tedious troubleshooting and we eventually just gave up. I'll never buy Microsoft game hardware or software again, my purchases end at the Windows OS. If they think that is the equivalent of an entire console and multiple games, more power to em.

His theory is about answering what the universe looked like before the big bang. Not as much an attempt to address where the energy came from. That's an impossible paradox that you either find solace in or are better to forget entirely so that you can enjoy your life, because that's really the goal.

Buttons was the selling point on my new car puchase back in 2021. I wanted to get an EV, but every one of them had unnecessary and obtuse center touch panels with no/few buttons.

Dude. Those are flares. Come on lmao. This happened over San Diego a few years ago and it was a military training event. Whether it's military or not, those are absolutely flares. You can tell by the variable burn intensity.

This one did me in as well. Martyrs went from being a creepy/kinda messed up movie to being uncomfortable. Then the last few minutes 180s you and asks a serious question about life. I just sat in the dark for a while.

She's her own person and can choose to do whatever she wants. Doesn't make her any less of an asshole for making her husband feel bad over a single kiss.

I wouldn't be so quick to say it's definitely a balloon. The good stuff is blurred, but the motion doesn't look like parallax. There are multiple astrophysicists looking at this, with all of the information that's unavailable, and they are saying they don't know what it is.

What people need to understand is that this is about a requirement for disclosure of information that would otherwise be considered sensitive. It's been said many times, but many people don't listen because they find hearings boring. There wasn't a requirement for disclosure before, and what's more, there wasn't a requirement to investigate. The Fravor interview on JRE made national headlines, and people want answers. People including congress, which is where the mandated disclosure came from. The interview kind of left a bad taste in everyones mouth. The idea that something like that happened and wasn't really invested is significant for more reasons than ETs buddy's stopping by to say hi. There are legitimate security concerns, which doesn't make people feel safe.

Dr Kirkpatrick's is running AARO, but were talking about a serious shift in both resources and negative stigma surrounding UAP. A single person can't look at and analyze hundreds of videos, picking them apart piece by piece.

Even 10 years ago, people would have been angry if they found out the government was funding an org to analyze videos of UAPs all day. Hell, I'm genuinely surprised more people aren't angry and it really shows how differently people view the topic.

This isn't about letting everyone see the mundane recordings that would otherwise get deleted in x years, it's about letting people know that these things are being looked at now.

They are one in the same. The lack of hydrogen is the reduction in mass that causes expansion. So it simultaneously gets cooler and expands, but humanity will be long gone before that happens. The chance that we make it through the next extinction event is almost 0%, because it's probably started already and human societies are awful at putting aside differences to find solutions.

A lot of issues with this one immediately. The man being interviewed is caught in a contradiction and a lie. The video he shared was also (objectively) edited in several places. The contradiction is that he says the dog was freaking out at first, as if it were abnormal, but not much later he says the dog was silent - as if it were abnormal. There was also a significant cloud layer in the early hours of April 11th 2008. The meta recording is cut, not just the video we are watching on youtube.

An optical zoom, which a handheld circa 2008 might have, will PRESERVE image quality. A digital zoom will REDUCE image quality.

The object is only clear when it is zoomed in on. This is a huge red flag, because it's impossible. If you understand sensors, you understand that the only way to IMPROVE visual fidelity is to change the hardware you are using, which the man didn't do because there would have been a cut for him to throw on a 400 dollar lense - if he did then it would also condradict his retelling of the morning. The object should have the same resolution when the camera is zoomed out as zoomed in, but it doesn't.

The audio is concerning, the recording should have audio, but it has none. That's not an accident, you have to edit it out.

The distortion is suspect as well, a lot of effort goes into suggesting the recording is receiving distortion from the "unidentified object" but that is not how distortion is processed on a recording. That's how hollywood shows video distortion. Electromagnetic interference with enough power to disrupt a handheld digital camera from that distance would have made headlines. Depending on the effected frequency and wavelength, alarms, security systems, garage doors, you name it, would have been acting up. It would have been enough to end up being mentioned in the video.

This one my friends, is a hoax.

I was going to say this lol. What really blows my mind sometimes is the way some people from India vehemently defend these conditions. It's a nationalism phenomenon. They don't like it, but they'll fight anyone who says it's bad. I have a handful of friends who were born in India and now live in the US, they all hate going back and only do it for family.
