Gravitational waves are real, and predicted by Einstein, so I'm not sure what he is laying claim to. The base gravitational force still has no known source, unlike every other force. So claiming gravity is a wave(not a particle) is quizzical. It's almost like he doesn't know what he's talking about...
I assume you’re talking about Corbell?

Yeah, he’s pretty unbearable and only helps to inhibit anything else.

I don’t know what to make of Lazar, but i certainty dont think Corbell adds any legitimacy to his case.

Sorry, what's provable? Aliens? I take it is proven that Fravor had an encounter as he described. I have no idea what it means, as mentioned. Given the number of witnesses, the unique training of said witnesses, the instrument tracking, the radar tracking from an AEGIS platform, I, as the judge, make a finding of fact that what Fravor says happened in fact happened. USN shares that view apparently.
Lazar sounded good, but was not helped by the greasy salesman. Also, a part of me just thinks this is a man who might simply be "crazy", orwhatever the technical term is...

You're not rolling your eyes every time his "Migraine" flairs up right as he's getting to important details about the aliens, the devices themselves, or the scientific aspects of his story?

Another part that got me- it got me because he sounded like my dad, who god bless him is not a scientist at all- but he described the operator of the flying saucer as "driving" a few times and caught himself to switch to flying. It's a small thing, but IMO not a thing that a scientist who studied this unidentified, unexplainable flying device would slip up and say.

I can't believe anyone believes this guy.

Fravor is believable, 100% in my mind. I think he genuinely can't explain what he saw. Lazar is making it up.

Prove that his training gives him the preternatural ability to gauge the size of a completely unknown object from far away. I know fighter pilots are gifted with amazing reflexes and observational abilities, but I’d like to see details of their training that overcomes the limits of human vision.

I’d also like to see the radar data. What does it show?

I’m not trying to be a dick. I’ll give Fravor the benefit of the doubt that he believes in his experience, but I need more evidence to accept it as fact.

Okay, we all need that for it to be “fact”. It’s easily to most interesting and respectable claim on anything UFO related, picking stupid holes in it isn’t some big brain exercise.

I think this has all been covered, particularly in the Fridman interview. Like I said, on a court room standard for evidence, I am satisfied that he saw what he said he saw. The interpretation and further possibilities is the real interesting part.

How cities will fossilise

The grand metropolises of 21st Century civilisation will leave a geological legacy that will last for millennia, but as the author David Farrier writes, some things will endure far longer than others.

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/2...=pocket-newtab

Quote:
As millions of years stretch into tens of millions, the transformations come more slowly. Rare earth minerals, leached from discarded mobile phones and other electronic devices, may begin to form secondary mineral crystals. Glass from windshields and shop windows will devitrify, darkening just as obsidian does after long burial. By now, the entire city is compressed to a layer perhaps only a few metres thick in the strata. All that is left of Shanghai Tower is a geological anomaly studded with the fossil outlines of chopsticks, chairs, sim cards, and hair clips.

All of this will be deeply buried, in some cases thousands of metres down. But geology never stands still. After around one hundred million years, as new mountain ranges begin to form, the layer of compacted rubble that was once Shanghai Tower may be pushed upwards, and revealed.

Fravor talks about the training and methodology they use for identifying aircraft and it wouldn't be difficult to learn more if you're really interested.

As for the radar tapes I'm sure they exist but are understandably classified. We're talking about probably the best radar system in the world, the SPY-1. Releasing that publicly would probably give potential adversaries damaging intelligence. Maybe we'll see more in the upcoming report ordered in the covid relief bill, I think its due in 2 months or so.

The guy working the radar though, Kevin Day, says in the interview I posted above that he had good radar tracking on many of these things and was also able to put eyes on one using the ships powerful binoculars, which he calls the "big eyes".

That YouTube channel has other interviews from witnesses of this specific incident too.

I know some may think it's crazy, but a couple of updates:

Some new footage was released today from the USS Omaha regarding a UAP object being tracked over water. Unfortunately the release is by Jeremy Corbell (ugh), but seems to be a significant addition to the Tic-Tac/Gimbal videos.



but it looks like it may have some tie-in to point number 2 ...

60 Minutes is doing an episode on UAP and it looks to be a fairly interesting watch. Some of the interviews include Lt. Ryan Graves who witnessed these objects during his fly-bys in the Atlantic ocean around South Carolina. Additionally, it is likely to have commentary from Lue Elizondo and Chris Mellon, both former government officials working on disclosure and fairly on the ball with the latest.

https://twitter.com/user/status/1393250354133970949

This is in advance of the Pentagon's release of the UAP Report due out in June, as was mandated in the 2020 Intelligence Authorization Act before Trump left office.

Interesting stuff. Even if you're skeptical.

The second video with the silver thing in the sky shows exactly what I saw over Calgary last summer:

Fuzz - how high up was that? And is that reflection off the sun? Also, what were its movement patterns?

It was probably about 1500 feet. I used to fly RC planes with a gps onboard, so I have a pretty good idea of relative altitude. It was moving east to west. at a fairly good clip. Maybe 100-150 knots? About as fast as STARS goes by.

This is another shot, not cropped. You can see some sort of thrust plume on the left? I think it may have rotated a bit at that point. It wasn't in my field of view for more than 30 seconds or so. I just happened to see it when I had my camera out taking pictures of our sunflowers from below.
