Quote from: Uncle TechTip on July 27, 2023, 09:25:44 PMThis video was interesting I thought, 30 mins of clear UFO footage. Ok a lot of questionable clips here but there's some very credible shots, especially of cigar shaped craft or the round ones from air force footage. Maybe spin to the "most replayed" parts to see the best clips.

Still not sure where I stand on SpOoKy StUfF (my heart wants to believe, my head doesn't, I think), but I hate when dyed-in-the-wool skeptics trot this line out. There's plenty of clear footage of unidentified aerial phenomena; whether it's aliens is another thing, but all the governments in the world will tell you there's video evidence of weirdness in the skies.

I'm all in on vehicles of alien origin zipping around the planet, freaking out air traffic controllers and commercial pilots, although they don't have to come from space, I'm happy with the 'huge undersea craft off the coast of the US manufacturing drones for various purposes' explanation, that works for me. I mean the huge undersea craft had to come from space originally, obviously.

I did think it was funny people were being sniffy about this theory that a UFO crashed in Italy in the Thirties and was then brought to the US by the government. 'Mad theories about WW2 UFOs and the Vatican!' Well, yeah, if these things have been around for ages, which they probably have, they would also have been around in the Thirties, and the Vatican was a powerful force in Italy at the time, so they probably had to be involved somehow.

I dunno, I'm just perfectly happy to accept that there's some really weird shit going on that the authorities don't want us to know about, without them necessarily being behind it, although I also watch YouTube compilations of ghosts and am quite happy to believe there's something in them as well, without it affecting my day to day existence all that much.

I have some thoughts on UFOs and waterspouts as well, but I'll keep them for another time.

when wizard of oz goes from sepia to colour, that's because aliens arrived on earth for the first time at that exact moment when it was being filmed

Incredible how they debunked that earlier tranche of videos with such ease and yet people still trot them out as valid examples.

Some interesting clips. Some that are obviously birds, drones or balloons zipping past. There's also the persistent problem of when you zoom into something (and maybe sharpen it with software) that you end up looking at a video artifact more than the actual object. Or if you zoom into a point of light at night you might end up with a diamond shape that is actually an artifact of the camera being used.

I found the one of the apparent meteor changing course mid-burn up to be interesting. That could be genuine while still being a natural chunk of rock.

Problem is these days they are so easy to fake. That shot of massive ships (and on that scale they would have been) going around the moon for instance.

I have a friend who scoffs openly about the bokeh debunk.  "It's been proven not to be bokeh" he says, because he deems people who support his UFO beliefs to be bigger experts in their field than camera experts.

Is there a crime more sickening than pandering?

Mr Farenheit

Why don't the aliens ever land? They've come all these lightyears to get here, they're not curious?

Shock outcome: alien sightings just probably secret military tests.

As an aside, I am currently reading a book that explains the philosophy of Epictetus and also has extracts of his work. Yes I am very clever, thank you.

It is with a proper publisher and everything.

Anyway, randomly the editor in one of his footnotes says yeah UFOs are definitely real it is a government cover up.

Is it possible to hear a UFO? If the aliens haven't managed to produce quiet engines then what's even the point of the fucking green pricks?

ah yes, the famously trustworthy US government

its funny how official ufo stuff has always coincided with periods where the us government would have liked people to be vigilant about foreign spy balloons, light aircraft, drones, etc
