    Experiments aircraft that can accelerate and change directions at Mach 2 ?

    Am I crazy here? Did the whole world not see the gimbal and tic tic videos.

        The Tic tac was seen, with their eyes, by four different military pilots. It was also captured in multiple different sensor arrays, data that has been classified. The video is the only thing available because it was leaked, but there is other sensor data that corroborates both the video and the pilot’s testimony. We don’t have access to that data only because the military doesn’t want us to.

      Yes I have seen them. Even if these aircraft are real, I suspect the capabilities have been exaggerated. The footage is grainy as hell and could be some sort of illusion.

      They totally could be real. But either way, I don’t see any reason why humans couldn’t create such technology. And if they did I’m sure they would be inclined to keep it secret.

        It’s almost as if it’s a cultural phenomenon. And the map reflects population density of english speakers. https://xkcd.com/1138/

        This doesn’t prove anything other than susceptible people are relatively evenly distributed.

        Or maybe that the aliens speak english ;)

          That comic is not applicable. You don’t have to speak english to report or see a UFO. That doesn’t make any sense. What it does tell us (to follow the language thread) is english-speakers seem more susceptible to believing they saw it. It’s a cultural issue is the implication.

          This doesn’t prove anything other than susceptible people are relatively evenly distributed.

          The point is the susceptible people are heavily concentrated in the US and the UK. Arguably Australia/NZ. How on earth is this map evenly distributed to you?

            Think about what language the UFO pop culture is produced in. It’s not that english speakers are more susceptible due to the language itself, but rather, they’ve been consuming media about UFOs in english. Thus the map is effectively a heat map showing the population of english speakers.

            Or do UFOs not cross the Rio Grande? ;)

              So I think you’re missing the point because I agree. The implication is all of these sightings are nonsense/not real, the public is just really susceptible in these areas for the exact reasons you and I are talking about.

              Notice the comment I was initially responding to. It’s the kind of video that would make an english speaker’s imagination run wild
