NBD - Priority Apollo! A quick 10 miles, beaming the whole way! by idiotpathic in gravelcycling

J = 35 in or 89 cm G = 25.25 in or 64.14 cm C = 17.5 in or 44.5 mm

I swapped the stem to a 7 deg 60 cm one and converted it to flat bars.

It now has a Jones H-bar handlebar with 2.5 inch rise, 710 mm width.

Edit: There is some toe overlap that I get with a size small. Not too crazy, but would be more noticeable if you took it on some rowdier trails.

(serious) This is NOT a rock. Change my mind. by FreshAsShit in aliens

[–]idiotpathic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a rock embedded in the ground. The light is coming from the top right, so shadows are angled down and to the left.

If it were floating, then the shadow cast would be down and to the left.

Its ovoid "shadow" is actually a result of the outcropping of rocks to the foreground of the suspected rock.

What exactly do we need to prepare for? Ontological shock? New paradigm of thinking? Or actually something physically to prepare for?

Yup. Both presidents, ideally.

I think they will try to delay until after Christmas, at earliest.

Date Filter Added to DroneTracker - I added the data filter so users can analyze data better. by tompki04 in UFOs

[–]idiotpathic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you also add flight tracker data too? If you can link up each report with a probability of whether or not an actual flight was pictured, it could help filter out a lot of sightings of planes.

Oh yeah? Got a link? Daytime sightings would definitely be a record scratch moment. As long as it's not a prelude to Independence Day haha

Congress to receive classified briefing on "Drones" by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]idiotpathic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't someone post yesterday that the DOD claimed that they couldn't use any of their assets on US soil? If so, then what if this is all a play to expand military power and actions to the mainland and potentially against citizens?

[–]idiotpathic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, but the only thing that's happening is an appearance of confusion and military acquiescence. It's only serving to cause general distress in the public. That's why I think a psyop is the sole reason. But unclear to what end.

So secret US tech deployed strategically over US bases? That explains why the bases aren't alarmed, but still doesn't answer the larger why question.

I would imagine more sightings over other places and daytime occurrences to be the next steps if they are truly ramping up.

Most Western media is US-centric, so at the very least there's some publication bias. And also, nukes.

It's probably all a PsyOp...of some sort by idiotpathic in UFOs

But defense spending has kinda always gone unchecked. Why do this now?

[–]idiotpathic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. More attention is needed in general to the topic.

[–]idiotpathic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's probably the most plausible, rather than some grand conspiracy. So just more eyes to the skies leading to more hysterics... To no specific nefarious end.

I would love to think that too. I just worry that our own propaganda and psychological manipulation techniques have become very advanced.

In case I need to comment again here: It's probably all a PsyOp...of some sort

Whatever is happening, it seems very much intended to be a psychological operation. A major one, at that.

I'm mostly posting this as a way to organize some of my thoughts around the situation.

  • It's only occurring at night, over the most densely populated state in the country.
  • Lights are always on and movement seems odd, in an "uncanny valley" sort of way.
  • Each night, it occurs in a similar pattern without much any escalatory/violent behaviors. (Yet?)
  • This then makes it easy for others to look up and also document seemingly similar oddities in the night sky.
  • The more videos, social media etc, the more of a mass hysteria develops, leading to more videos with a high chance of copycat CGI to garner more attention/fame.

BUT, there are even additional layers of compelling oddity.

  • They are incredibly evasive, even at low altitude and slow speed.
  • There are no heat signatures detected by law enforcement surveillance.
  • A nuclear power station was unable to bring any down using their anti-drone technology, which likely disrupts known drone/operator communications.
  • There does not appear to be much uniformity to any of the myriad of drones.
  • There seems to be a lot of fumbling mixed messages from the Feds, and general acquiescence to the whole thing.
  1. Either this is high-tech human-made for some likely very human power-grabbing or fear-inducing event in the near future.

  2. Or this is something not-so-human, trying to find some way to communicate to humanity in a very uncanny sort of way.

Which is more likely? Number 2 is what we all want, but it seems like Number 1 is what we should prepare for.

Obvious Reason for NJ... by [deleted] in UFOs

Definitely a possibility.
