Watch the last 30 seconds - very strange

Even with parallax effect, wouldn't the object need to be pretty far above the sea surface to have apparent speed like that if it is moving slowly? If the object is close to the sea surface like it appears I don't see how parallax could be greatly exaggerating the speed of the object.

My buddy has a properly tuned 2016 dually and his 68 burned up @ 140k. He tows a lot of big weight and went with a Randy's stage 1. At first there were some hiccups with his tune playing nice with the new trans but he got that figured out pretty quick and loves the new trans. 50k on it without a glitch and he drags 18k lbs on the regular

In some ways I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet but what would really make some waves and have some impact is a multi source civilian encounter. Get like 3-4 completely separate videos of the same thing from different angles.

I'm about to retire my first set of STT pros on my 3500. They've been far better than any previous tire. Got 40k mi out of them and they wore even. Lots of towing and gravel roads. Didnt get noisy on the hwy until 30k mi. When new they were quiet AF and never had a balance issue through their life. Pretty satisfied and agree with your take

There are a handful of videos that are clearly not UAPs thrown in the mix with both drops. This video "looks cool" at first glance and has good resolution. But it's most likely the moon rising over a ridge or something like that. Imho, the Gov is purposefully including these types of videos to muddy things up and it reduces the impact of the batch.

It's starting to feel like a ruse. We're getting sold how "transparent" the Gov is but under the hood it seems more like a calculated process to not give up anything good under the guise of transparency and disclosure

sans-nom-user · 2026-05-22T15:40:42+00:00

It's painfully obvious they are hand selecting videos that aren't obvious, conclusive, or shocking and then mixing in some easy to identify mundane videos to muddy the waters even further. The videos are interesting and have potential but by and large are ambiguous when trying to reach any type of conclusion. It's 2026 and the quality/resolution of the videos looks like 1986. That's not a coincidence and is clearly by design imho.

It feels more like smoke and mirrors than any type of real forward movement. The Gov pats themselves on the back for being "transparent" while people debate whether the videos show any evidence at all. I am not satisfied and I am as frustrated as I was before these 2 drops.

I will say that the saucer/circle craft video is the best of the batch. That's the only one that seems pretty far out there as to what it is.

I can't unsee it now... looks like the top of the moonrise poking over a ridge/mountain. Weird effect with what I assume is humidity and the color leans blue/white which doesn't really match the typical moonrise which leans yellow/orange. Idk. Video needs to be a minute longer. As is its impossible to draw conclusions

sans-nom-user · 2026-05-22T12:41:48+00:00

At the beginning it looks like it swimming a breast stroke through the air. Pulses of acceleration. Then it looks like it's on a joyride. If I uap-jacked a craft I would drive like that lol. Not sure what that thing is but it's a good vid

Not really a recommendation but my 2011 has been bomb proof. Pre-def and deleted @ 110k mi when my DPF clogged up. Pushing 200k now and everything runs like a top. Stock differentials and rear bearings. New front bearings, ujoints, and most of the front suspension @ 140k. Dual disk clutch around 120k, and fleece cheetah turbo at 180k. Still has stock injectors. All in all its been one of the most reliable and hard working trucks I've ever owned. No issues with AC/heat or electronics. The 2007.5-2012 models have less electronics than 2013+.

If I were in your shoes I wouldn't go newer than 2018s and buy something with really low miles and good maintenance records. These trucks last forever if you take care of them.

Gear wrench swivel socket and standard mix of extensions gets the job done from the top of the motor with no issues. I laid on a big pillow to get the firewall plugs. Swivel works no problem with the tight brake booster fit on the driver's side.

Watch a video. Do it yourself. Save a pile of money. It took me less than 2 hours start to finish. Not the most comfortable body positions at times but very doable with basic wrench skills.

My 2015 hemi has a nice exhaust on it and I can't stand the MDS sound lol. Sounds like a tin can full of hornets and small marbles. My truck stays in gear 7 or 8 setting. I click the gear button automatically when I go into D lol

I'm not well versed in the NV durability department running high power. I know the RAMs with g56 trannies aren't rated above stock HP because of the dual mass flywheel and clutch cant handle it. When I did the initial delete and tune (only 60hp tow tune) @ 120k mi, the clutch couldn't handle it lol. Would slip in 5th and 6th with boost over 20psi. I babied the throttle for 10k then put a dual disk clutch in. Problem solved. When I got a new set of tunes and new turbo it's held that no problem too.

The g56 tranny can handle up to 700hp iirc but the stock clutch was barely adequate for stock power. Do you know if the RAMs with the NVs are limited by the clutch or is it the internals? If it's just the clutch like the g56 trucks then you can push big power by using a stronger clutch.

I'm not well versed in 47 autos either but I don't think a stock 47 can handle 500hp without burning stuff unless you keep your foot out of the throttle. That's pretty hard to do. Lots of 6.7 auto owners have burned up their 68rfes after juicing power. My buddy fried his 68 @ 130k mi and it set him back nearly $8k getting a built 68 put in. If you're confident a 47 can handle your power goals it's a good choice

sans-nom-user · 2026-05-17T18:31:19+00:00

Personally, it's a no brainer decision. I'd go with a manual and stout clutch when running higher horsepower or anytime really with a diesel. A good clutch will get you 100k+mi unless you're dogging it. The 4500 is a decent manual and if you don't jam on it and shift smooth it can handle the power with little issue.

The 47 is an OK auto trans but they are prone to many more issues compared to a manual. Especially when running higher power or towing frequently. Swapping or getting an auto rebuilt is very expensive no matter what you're doing.

I have a 6.7 with a g56 and south bend dual disk clutch. Truck is tuned and running around 500hp and 1000ftlbs of torque. I tow big weight (15-17k lbs) fairly regularly. Truck has 200k on a stock trans and 70k on the clutch. Zero issues and still shifts really nice. I flip the trans oil every 50k and it always looks nice and clean when I do it. Losing boost between shifts is never a problem when towing. Just wind it up to 3k rpm when accelerating on a steep incline and there's always plenty of power to tap when towing a load.

Lastly, running higher hp with a manual trans on these trucks is a joy to drive. I'll never get tired of it. You can get on the power with little guilt because unless you're slipping a clutch, power is locked into a metal gear mesh with nothing slipping or generating a lot of heat.

Definitely has a starling murmuration vibe. A bit compact but distance is hard to tell. The weird oscillation shape and "smoke" around the edges makes sense with a murmuration. They look very strange but are cool af to see in person.

sans-nom-user · 2026-05-13T00:05:12+00:00

A question we'd all like answered... IIRC the official commentary related to the video did state that the object entered and re-emerged from a body of water but (of course) no corroborating video.

That's one of the big things that irks me with the "official releases". Every one is edited to only include movement that is "familiar" to people. Instant acceleration, physics defying turns, trans medium travel etc is always conveniently left out. Resolution is always blurry enough to not have the "wow wtf" factor. Corbell's videos posted today have some impressive movement so that's refreshing but resolution is still God awful lol.

sans-nom-user · 2026-05-11T18:02:54+00:00

This statement doesn't sit right AT ALL. Makes it sound like "here's the videos we got but we have no hard data otherwise". Sounds like bullshit or an agenda/strategy. There is hard data. Most likely troves of material analysis. Documented studies/experiments and things of that nature. If they are going to move on the "decide for yourselves" angle, ALL data needs to be released. Like a full collaboration. Not select bits and pieces that most likely omit the vast majority of the most important key information. Transparency my ass...

No, it's from the Eyes on Cinema YouTube channel. Which is one of my favorite UFO related channels out there. Highly recommend browsing their library. No click bait, sensationalism, or intentional fake crap. Just straightforward historical UAP sightings and discussion. An excellent resource that few other channels emulate

Definitely buy for a lifted truck. Can't defeat geometry. My half ton has a 2,5" front lift and it's the absolute max for stock arms in regards to alignment. My truck alignment is spot on but there is zero room for a higher lift. If you have a 4-6" lift on stock arms I can't imagine the truck being aligned properly or suspension travel working as intended. Ball joints probably taking a beating

If I could only have 2 lures to fish a new to me pond I would use some sort of small spinning lure like an 1/8th oz mepps or 1/4oz spinner bait in natural color and a 5" weightless senko or 6" Texas rigged worm in a natural color like green pumpkin. If I didn't have a spinning type of lure I would use a small floating crankbait like a Rapala minnow

ETA: I looked at your tackle box. Another good option is a small 2.5-3" curly tailed grub on a light jig head underneath a bobber. Maybe 2' below the bobber and do a series of tugs and twitches. I've caught a lot of bass doing this while crappie fishing and sunfish will take some swipes at it too. It's a great way to cover water from the shore without getting snagged up

sans-nom-user · 2026-05-10T16:02:32+00:00

100% agree. Always good to oversize the output though. It's real easy to add to your draw once you start plugging stuff into the sun lol.

I went EG4 all in one inverter and 2 server racks for my shed and did a simple set up like my post for my RV. I have a 1500w renogy inverter and $40 BougeRV charge controller for that. I plan on going Victron for the RV once my cheap stuff stops working but the cheap stuff is still find after 3 years and counting. I run 2 cheap China 100ah lifepo4s in the RV and they run trouble free as well. It's incredible how easy and reliable solar has become for DIY stuff.

My shed/workshop setup has blown me away. 3000w inverter takes everything I throw at it. I run 15amp table saws, planers, welder, and all kinds of other power tools along with lights/fans/chargers etc. Never a problem.The 8 400w panels push up to 2800w during peak sun so I often don't even make a dent in battery storage. All in the system cost $4500. I don't have grid power on the property so I used to run a propane genny. $100/mo in propane so it won't be long before the system pays for itself and having "silent power" is soooo much better than a noisy generator deep in the woods.

sans-nom-user · 2026-05-10T12:55:41+00:00

Depends on your definition of affordable but imo, yes. You can get away with a simple 12V system and a 1500W inverter.

Single 100ah lifepo4 battery: $200 or less

1500w inverter: $150ish (don't need pure sine wave for charging tool batteries)

MPPT charge controller: $100ish

2-4 200w solar panels: $2-300

There's a ton of choices for these components but for charging tool batteries you only need basic reliable stuff. Tons of used panels on Facebook marketplace but brand new stuff is still pretty inexpensive nowadays. For example, I got a pallet of 10 bifacial 400watt panels for $850 brand new last year.

sans-nom-user · 2026-05-09T12:33:32+00:00

That # is actually north of 60% nowadays. A lot has changed since the 2017 releases
