/posad/ - Paranormal

yooo dope ass board and thread

i'm just here for the scifi

I have seen a UFO. It was the middle of the day while driving, and my friend riding passenger also saw it. It looked like two metal orbs spinning around a center axis with a thin tube connecting them. We ended up deciding it looked most like a spinning dumbell. This was close enough that you could see different parts glare in the sun as it moved. After a few minutes, it disappeared behind the treeline.

I don't think it was extraterrestrial. This wasn't too far from a military airfield. Secret aircraft testing is likely what we saw.

I've never seen a ufo, not one that I can convincingly say I can confirm as one, but, I have seen weird shit going on in the sky and even was alive in the 90s watching the strange orbs floating around LA that made up a giant triangle. It seems to have been memory hole'd but I remember it. I can't find anything on it but they looked like picrel. If anyone else knows what I am talking about.

When I was a kid, I saw a ufo
It was orange and fuzzy, and stayed in the middle of my vision wherever I looked
Then it just faded away

What do you all think of secret space program conspiracy theories? Does the US military have anti-gravity/reactionless propulsion spaceplanes? Are they responsible for some UFO sightings? Were they inspired by or reverse engineered from recovered UFOs?

While I'm not so sure about the secret space program stuff or crashed UFOs stuff, I do think there's circumstantial evidence for the claims of classified anti-gravity aerospace projects.

>>141
I think that the military was probably happy about people mistaking their aerospace prototypes for alien space ships because that was beneficial for keeping bleeding edge research secret. They might even have encouraged this.

However the chances of them having encountered actual extraterrestrials are vanishingly small. Withholding super advanced technology is even less likely. If you switch on a device that can manipulate gravity it would be ringing the bells of every scientific research lab, with a detector for gravitational waves.
Imagine people sitting on a large trampoline, if anybody wiggles the fabric everybody else notices. The fabric of spacetime is like that.

I'm sick of the US pussyfooting around with this 'we've probably seen ayys' shit they keep doing on Twitter.

>>142
Well that assumes alleged craft actually manipulate gravity; maybe they just generate reactionless thrust by some esoteric method.

And the idea that the military would altruistically share secret breakthroughs, instead of keeping them under wraps to maintain an enormous strategic advantage over other countries, is ridiculous. I remember reading an article in Aviation from the early 90s where they interviewed scientists and engineers who worked on black projects who wanted some of the tech declassified and applied in the commercial and industrial sphere. 30 years since that article have passed and none of the tech described has manifest. They mentioned a revolutionary electrostatic cooling system, and one of the engineers mentiones "very black" technology in the field of lasers and propulsion, and he further elaborated saying the principles the propulsion tech would take too long to explain and most people wouldn't understand how it works even if you did. Remember what they were describing was technology from the 80s, how many advances have they made since?

>>141
I don't think they have the tech because our greatest minds and scientists don't currently have the tech. If they did it would have certainly leaked out by now. I deff think that much of their tech is mistaken for UFOs but you also have to realize there have been declassified documents that show propulsion systems even they can't explain.

>>145
If you know the methods the national securoty institutions have for keeping secrets, you'd know why the common argument that it would just leak is naive. The defense industry certainly count some of those great minds in its ranks. Classified projects are highly compartmentalized, only a small number of people in a relevant agency or department have knowledge of classified projects and it's common for those directly involvedto lack a complete picture of what they're working on, in many cases they won't even know their work is part of an SAP. The people who drafted the report saying they can't explain UFO flight characteristics almost certainly wouldn't be the same people involved with any alleged antigravity craft.

>>144
There's no evidence of super secret alien tech existing, stop trying to make me disprove your claims, you have to prove it.

>They mentioned a revolutionary electrostatic cooling system
You mean electrostatic fluid accelerator, also called ionic wind
that's not a secret, you can buy an air ionizer that uses it

>>146
You forget espionage , maybe you can't find out what they are doing in secrecy, but other governments certainly can. Do you really think they could have kept this from the Soviets ?

>>147
They mentioned the cooling system was used for spy satellite optics so I doubt it was ion wind cooling.

Rival nations discovering these things via espionage doesn't mean they would disclose them, it would be far smarter to keep secret your discovery and develop your own equivalents.

>>143
>I'm sick of the US pussyfooting around with this 'we've probably seen ayys' shit they keep doing on Twitter.
the whole thing is a psyop for more airforce spending. they have the means and the incentive.

>>151
I still highly doubt they have anti-gravity tech. What sources do we even have confirming anything remotely like this?

>>155
I admit its entirely circumstantial (as you would expect the evidence to be for something that would be so secret). Other than anecdotes, there were many publicly acknowledged anti-gravity research programs in the 50s and 60s that ended up being classified with no further information available, there is testimony hinting at some kind of revolutionary propulsion technology like the black project scientist's claims I mentioned earlier, as well as two claims of Ben Rich, former head of Skunkworks: The first, that they made multiple breakthroughs in propulsion over the decades he was there that are still top secret; the second, that some UFO sightings, with all their incredible aerodynamic properties, are sightings of classified craft.
During the Nimitz tictac encounter, the pilots involved mentioned apparent civilians who came in and took the data collected from instruments. It's open tot interpretation what the deal is with that, but I think it's far more likely that it was because they wanted data on an encounter between a classified drone operating on revolutionary propulsion and conventional aircraft.
There's nothing definitive when it comes to this subject, but its all worth considering.
