Default Pentagon releases UFO videos

In particular, they released 3 videos relating to unidentifiable flying objects. I wouldn't normally start a new thread for something like this, but in these times when the only news seems to be Covid and related, it's kind of refreshing to have something else!

These were already released (the Nimitz, Gimbal, "Go Fast" videos) in the media and have been widely available for a while. The Navy releasing them seems like a weird move at this point, although there are apparently extended versions of the clips. Also note that UFO is a bit of an antiquated term. UAP is more accurate these days.

It was the video that ushered in the UFO renaissance: a grainy clip showing the Navy’s encounter with a mysterious aircraft in 2004. The Pentagon says the public was never supposed to see it. So who leaked it? How’d they do it? And what does the footage actually show?

In a kind of "I'm not sure if positive or negative" twist to the story, it's kind of funny how Tom DeLonge - former frontman for Blink 182 - is part of this whole thing and this initial media attention on these clips.

Seriously though, it's one thing to believe other intelligent life forms exist on other planets but to think they broke all laws of physics to visit us is beyond belief.

The evidence shows that we don't understand the laws of physics. The way these things were flying is supposed to be impossible.

There's little evidence that they're things flying in impossible ways.. there needs to be a lot more evidence than jankey videos.

If intelligent life was traveling across the cosmos to watch us, I think they'd be bending space and time or traveling inter-dimensionally or some other method that's beyond our understanding. I don't think they'd be driving space ships that are so close to our own way of thinking on how space ships should operate, so I think it would have to be humans that are operating these vessels in some way.

I find the intriguing part of UFOs is trying to understand what group has gained access to technology that's so far beyond what's available to the rest of us, and if this technology is legitimate or just a fancy illusion.

There are a lot of first hand accounts of Navy pilots all telling the same story about these objects. So whatever it is is at least capable of fooling people who are highly trained to observe phenomena like a UFO, or they're all intentionally lying and this is some sort of military psychological operation on the public.

There isn't any reason to believe these things - assuming they are defying physics - aren't man-made objects, whether from other U.S. government programs, private companies (e.g. Skunkworks), or Russian/Chinese prototypes of new weaponry.

The chances of these things being alien - assuming they are UAP - are so ridiculously low.

I'm more inclined to think these are DARPA projects with involvement from Skunk Works / Lockheed Martin. I think that's more plausible given their proximity to U.S. borders and military craft.

Mitch Hedberg: I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he's fuzzy, get out of here.
