    Mods, where do these people come from? We've had quite a few people join and spout a load of **** with random links to places. It's like a weird Internet cult or something.

      To spin the discussion sideward for a moment - Before any alien species would begin to map out a plan to travel to Earth they would first have to not only find it but also identify it as a noteworthy life sustaining planet. Given the insanely high risk of missing the Earth, likely minimum distance away a species with the kind of tech we're already mandating them to have are etc the question is - aren't we back to stretching things so far to justify it being aliens coming to Earth that the odds are astronomical compared to it being... a balloon?

          Congress passed a defence spending bill but in it is a law that says the pentagon must provide biannual reports to Congress on the investigation of UFOs. These reports will be publicly available as all reports to Congress are.
          Of course the pentagon could bull****, but Congress want to see results so they can only bull**** for so long before they have to produce something.

          The bill includes an examination of the war in Afghanistan, but it doesn't include a provision that would require women to sign up for the draft.

            Amazed that something like that hasn't come earlier, can't imagine the amount of money spent on it

              A redacted version of the UFO report given to Congress has been released.

              Tldr:

              There are probably multiple types of UAP requiring different explanations based on the range of appearances and behaviors described in the available reporting.

              UAP clearly pose a safety of flight issue and may pose a challenge to U.S. national security.

              The UAPTF regularly heard anecdotally during its research about other observations that occurred but which were never captured in formal or informal reporting by those observers.

              There was some clustering of UAP observations regarding shape, size, and, particularly, propulsion.

              The UAPTF holds a small amount of data that appear to show UAP demonstrating acceleration or a degree of signature management.

              The UAPTF has 11 reports of documented instances in which pilots reported near misses with a UAP.

              Page 20 of the pdf (listed as 13 in the document), although redacted, shows visual depictions of “common” and “uncommon/irregular” UAP shapes.

              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GILd3Sudbos With a small triumph in the effort to get transparency on a hot topic issue, The Black Vault has secured the partial release of the classified report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) given to Congress in June of 2021. This effort by The Black Vault is the result of a Mandatory Declassification Review (MDR)

                I'll open with a caviat, that it's probably spy balloons but...

                The US and Canada has now clocked 5 objects, 3 have been shot down with the last one only a few hours ago. Canada was also tracking multiple objects yesterday. China has jumped on this and said its also tracking one (which is probably a cover).
                It seems unlikely the US are able to shoot down hyper advanced Alien tech with missiles, but still, what the **** is going on over there?

                  Chinese spy drones, it has to be.

                    Yup, this is all it is.

                      If its China, I'm made of questions right now.
                      How many have they sent?
                      Why send so many?
                      Have they always been sending them?
                      Why haven't the US shot any down before?
                      Why balloons and not spy satellites, or high altitude spy planes?

                      Comment


                        High-altitude planes like the SR-71 and U-2 need serious engineering and pilot training, and are considered military asssets outside the Open Skies treaty (not that the US should care, as Trump got out of it).

                        Satellites still have a finite image resolution due to their orbit.

                        High-altitude balloons could be passed as weather instruments, and those can be floated freely over any country. Of course China are insisting that was a weather balloon and shooting it down was unlawful.

                        Balloons are also relatively inexpensive, and high-altitude targets aren't that easy to shoot down: the USAF had to use F-22s (only fighter in inventory able to climb and maneuvre at that altitude) and F-15s and other ELINT planes to properly track and target that thing, plus marking and following any debris falling down.

                          Nonsense, I saw this documentary where a kid was piloting one, although he did have a computer brain.

                            I've read that the US recently upgraded some of its radar systems. Perhaps these things were always being floated over and it's only now they can see them. Pretty crazy if that is the case.

                              It would absolutely track that if aliens where capable of making small scale ships capable of interstellar travel across the vastness of space to visit a distant world with technology so behind their own that you could annihilate the species if you fancied, that the US military would go abot immediately gunning them down on sight.

                              And I'm not even joking.

                                Or it could be that aliens put all of their technological efforts behind interstellar travel and they'd invade with black powder guns and nothing more.
                                We'd reverse-engineer the space travel technology and become masters of the universe
