      I can appreciate the "just the facts" reporting style, but I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't disappointed that Ward didn't give any opinion or anecdotal experiences of the subject. I don't think that it would have hurt the integrity of the piece any if Ward had said at the end wether or not he or his colleagues had any UAP sightings.

      When they look each others way before answering they're acknowledging their orders & confirming support.
      You don't spend 40 years in intelligence - and become the front line hill spokesman - without being smart enough to know how & when to roll over and play dumb.

    During 1970 those "somethings" were frequently observed by fmr. Yugoslav AF pilots above northern and central Croatia and northern Bosnia. On some occasions, several squadrons of Mig 21s were scrambled to monitor these "somethings". The most peculiar thing is, the high brass of YAF thought those were some NATO i.e. American aircraft.

    I too feel bad for Alexi. They are using VLC viewer (great free app), and it has trouble pausing on the end of video clips. It is possible to go frame by frame, but you have to know to hit the 'e' key or turn on the advanced controls and hit a non-obvious button. (The current version actually looks different than the button in the documentation) I've done it before, and I had to look it up again. I would not want to have to remember that in front of a congressional hearing.

    They always try to diminish the efforts to document these things with the science fiction/alien mocking. I wish people would stop trying to assign origins before we even confirm authenticity. These events are being witnessed, and SOME of them have no conventional explanation. If we can start at that baseline, and just agree on that simple fact, then maybe we can take some small baby steps forward and eliminate the speculation, scoffing, and division that are interfering with finding out what's actually going on.

      There is a large number of people who claim they have seen Bigfoot, and it’s likely that more than half the population believes they probably exist. Same with UFOs, Nessie, etc. But after 75 years of UFO reports, none have crashed, no collisions with them have occurred, no abductions have been verified. Scientists have no interest in them, the military has no interest in them.

    I'm glad that Scott Bray finished off his commentary on the "triangles" recorded by SLR through NVGs as being *caused by* the SLR/NVG combination. My first reaction on seeing the flashing "triangle" is that it was a classic optical aberration. Anyone with an observational background in astronomy would have recogised that immediately, as, I'm sure, would many photographers.
    And as for the object in the first video, where the staffer had so much difficulty freeze-framing because they don't know the basics of using VLC(!), isn't it obviously a helium filled balloon? Millions of these are released into the air every day by people all around the world, and they often travel thousands of kilometres before they burst, or lose enough helium to fall to the surface, as so much plastic pollution. Yes, it's an example of what Scott Bray earlier described as "air trash".
    Overall, a very well balanced set of questions an answers on a subject that needs detailed examination. However, I think it should be dealt with primarily as a scientific study -- after all, the methods and techniques of science are all about turning the unknown into the known while being grounded in reality. Thereafter it would be determined whether there is in fact an intelligence/security threat.

      There is also the problem with parallax. It is not revealed how fast the jet was flying or whether it was veering of or going straight ahead which can explain an illusion of speed by the UAP. I stumbled across a CZcams channel where professional special effects technicians quickly recreate these UAP effects very easily while explaining them. As someone who has been fascinated by UFOs since the 1960s, I have yet to see a single example of compelling evidence that would argue in favor of the existence of extraterrestrials visiting or probing us. This is just a political distraction.

      Agreed. And the cigar shape uap’s are in fact not cigar. It’s elongated as it’s pretty much starionary and the observer is moving at a fast speed. Because they are not fixated on the object only when it passes by at that exact time it’s possible for the human brain and eye to observe it. As if it was elongated. When it fact it’s not. So most likely again. Something floating not travelling at much of a speed

    • @WhoWouldWantThisName
      @WhoWouldWantThisName Před rokem

      I don't know but in most cases I think the pilots would know if the object was passing at a fast rate or if that was just them moving fast. Particularly fighter pilots/RIOs/WSOs would be pretty capable in this type of assessment I would expect. This is because dogfighting with enemy aircraft is their expertise and so they should have a pretty good grasp of this kind of thing.

There is a patent for a sub-launched spherical balloon carrying a radar retroreflector internally which matches exactly what F-18 pilots have seen. Its intent is to activate for analysis defensive systems like ships' radar and defensive aircraft actions.

      Yeah, but that is part of general life. It is human nature to only be public with the information that you are sure off, and hesitant to give out ammunition to people that don't necessary have your best interest in mind. You can only hope that people with appropriate authority are able to create a setting where open discussion and information exchange can be achieved, and that is precisely where tension between better cooperation and better legislative control arises. Where does a mutual supporting working relationship end up being a 'corrupt clique'? That depends on the eye of the beholder and in with what purpose they are operating.
      This is just tough data analysis, and I think it is underestimated how much effort needs to be taken to make sense of it. Professionally I work with pretty sensitive high tech engineering, and the difference between 'we have to completely understand this failure mechanism' or 'let's just make it a bit stronger / robust' can be the difference between a few afternoons work or multi-year, 100 thousands budgets with the risk that you still end up with 'we need to make it a bit stronger / robust' (That basically sums up the last 8 months of the project I am supporting). Real life takes a lot of short cuts, knowing it saves a lot of resources and does not impact final result.
      We still life in a world with resource scarcity, can you afford to have all the brightest people working on projects with a high risk of limited return?

    I've been interested in UFOs/UAPs for 50 years because my parents and I saw one during the "Flap" in the 1970s. I'm not a pilot but I know what is possible for a terrestrial craft and what isn't. We were travelling by car when we saw one hovering over a field making no sound at all. It rose vertically and zoomed off from a dead stop and took off way past the Mach. Early AV8Bs couldn't even dream of what that thing did. No sound at all, no sonic boom, nothing! 50 years later and there is still nothing comparable to it. From 80 years ago with Foo Fighters to today's "Tic Tacs" they've been interested in both Naval and Air Power. I can't help thinking though, that almost a century with technology as advanced as they've shown, I think we would know for sure if they were hostile by now.

      So if it wasn't a flying triangle flying around the navy vessels that night, what was it and why wasn't it engaged? Can a fleet of civilian drones harass a navy ship at night without consequence? Can a fleet of adversarial planes/drones swarm a navy ship without consequence? Why can't the navy identify a fleet of civilian or adversarial aircraft that swarm them at night? Are they that incompetent? My belief is "NO". It was NOT something terrestrial, that's why all they could do was film it. I'm pretty sure they would realize with radar and/or other sensor systems that it was a UFO prompting them to film it with night vision or do naval personnel routinely film planes/drones at nighttime?
