It seems UAP's and aliens has become a modern religious like belief. One that allows for supernaturalism without being supernatural in the religious sense.

People are quite willing to believe in the unreal abilities of aliens but not God. Aliens could not make it to earth unless they can defy current physics which undermines the standard models.

Even if aliens are not real all the sightings and talk has caused people to think they are real and be open to such unreal abilities as though we humans or alien species have supernatural powers.

I think this is the whole point that whoever is doing this is softening up people to accept some alternative super power to God. To be open and believe in some extra dimensional beings.

This is the perfect scenario for satan to fool many into believing in some sort of anti Christ with super powers. To revere and bow down to them.

And an extraordinarily stupid one at that. Especialy considering that rough 95% of "UFO" reports turn out, upon investigation. to be perfectly ordinary stuff that has simply been mistaken by the observer as something spooky. Of the remaining 5%, most if not all are simply the same sort of thing but without sufficient information to know whT IT WAS.
One that allows for supernaturalism without being supernatural in the religious sense.
Even worse, it leads to believing that perfectly mundane stuff become the basis for a ridiculous almost if not wholly of a religious character based on imaginary Spacemen and Flying Saucers.
People are quite willing to believe in the unreal abilities of aliens but not God.
But "aliens" are magic, you see. Yjeu can "defy yhe laws of physics and do lots of other magical things.
Aliens could not make it to earth unless they can defy current physics which undermines the standard models.
Which of course requires magic.
Even if aliens are not real all
And there is precisely no reason to believe that they are unless you assume that those unprovable aliens are actually evil spirits of some kind.
the sightings and talk has caused people to think they are real and be open to such unreal abilities as though we humans or alien species have supernatural powers.
Alas, the foolish we will alwys have with us.
I think this is the whole point that whoever is doing this is softening up people to accept some alternative super power to God.
Doing what, precisely? Making the credulous believe that anything in the sky that anything in the sky they can't immediately identify is eiother Spaceman in a Flying Saucer or an Evil Spirit? That; when in fact, once again, over 90% of investigated "UFO" reports are boringly miundae.
To be open and believe in some extra dimensional beings.
That's just ading another layer of rubbish for the credulous to add to their made-up-as-they=go religion. Sad to say, some sects have actually embraced the by adding "UFOs" as part of their doctrine, and would have their adherents believe that every time some ninny mistakes an experimantal aircraft, an optical oddity, or a plain old airliner for Demons Sent to Deceive Us, thus adding yet another layer of divert people away fro the Gospel of Christ.
This is the perfect scenario for satan to fool many into believing in some sort of anti Christ with super powers. To revere and bow down to them.
And you've just done you part to adding more baseless superstition to distract already shaky Christians from the Faith itself.

That was my point. That despite 100% evidence many people are primed to believe such things. That it is not so much that aliens are real but that people are being primed to believe such things.

In saying that I think there is a small number that cannot be explained. We now have conclusive evidence from videos, first hand sightings from reliable witnesses within the miliary and air force who have testified under oath in congress.

For the first time in our history we have the government releasing the evidence and admitting there is something happening that cannot be explained away.

And this is the point. That its no longer a mystery or denied and even if it turns out to be the government hoax or some other explainable reason. Its the fact that everyone is seeing the images and hearing credible witnesses that its causing many to believe for good reason.

What we are seeing is unlike the blurry and grainy images of the past. We are seeing clear images and miliary radar data and its been constant and no one knows what is going on. I have never in my life heard of so many sightings as we have seen recently.
Even worse, it leads to believing that perfectly mundane stuff become the basis for a ridiculous almost if not wholly of a religious character based on imaginary Spacemen and Flying Saucers.
But its not mundane stuff. Unlike the past where the images were hard to tell or were grainy still shots. These are long videos with clear footage of UAP defying what humans can do.

For example video of a UAP speeding beyond our capability and then coming to a standtill or doing turns from a standing start that humans could not possibly survive the velocity. Some moving from air to sea. Some only 500 meters from pilots. Pilots say this is fairly common. Are they all lying ?
But "aliens" are magic, you see. Yjeu can "defy yhe laws of physics and do lots of other magical things.
Thats what it looks like. Have you seen the videos ? If they are fake then someone is playing a serious and dangerous game with the world.

That in itself is as frightening as real aliens. Because people are being fooled and believe its real. Not because it is obviously fake. But because it seems so real with good evidence. Someone purposely wants people to think aliens and magic is real.
Which of course requires magic.
Actually even the science claims that defying physics is a hypothetical possibility. They speak of worm holes, multiverses with other dimensions. In fact this is required as part of the logical follow on of the same quantum physiucs.

Except they would not call it magic but new and undiscovered physics. If you told people 100 years ago we would go to the moon in some flying ship they would think it unreal and magic.
And there is precisely no reason to believe that they are unless you assume that those unprovable aliens are actually evil spirits of some kind.
There is good reason. We have congressional testimony under oath from credible witnesses. We have first hand eye witnesses.

Unlike in the past where this was covered up and there was never any clear video. We now have the government admitting there is some strange stuff going on that they cannot explain.
Alas, the foolish we will alwys have with us.
Actually the level of evidence is not foolish for people to at least think theres a possibility. Its not like we have no clear evidence. In fact the same level of evidence would normally be enough in court to say its not foolish that some are convince. Because its actually good evidence.

Or at least appears to be. Until then I don't think people are foolish to consider it a reall possibility that something strange is happening based on that evidence.
Doing what, precisely? Making the credulous believe that anything in the sky that anything in the sky they can't immediately identify is eiother Spaceman in a Flying Saucer or an Evil Spirit? That; when in fact, once again, over 90% of investigated "UFO" reports are boringly miundae.
They can identify them. Unlike in the past where it was denied and the images were hard to tell. We have clear images and video of UAP's. The experts cannot explain this.
That's just ading another layer of rubbish for the credulous to add to their made-up-as-they=go religion. Sad to say, some sects have actually embraced the by adding "UFOs" as part of their doctrine, and would have their adherents believe that every time some ninny mistakes an experimantal aircraft, an optical oddity, or a plain old airliner for Demons Sent to Deceive Us, thus adding yet another layer of divert people away fro the Gospel of Christ.
But they are not fringe sects but credible witnesses from the military and air force. We also have access to the same evidence to see for ourselves and they don't look or act like whether balloons or any human made craft. They are there right before our eyes.

Whatever it is the evidence is so good that most people now believe in such things. We have never had any explanation or credible evidence that this is a hoax or even of human origin. If they were explainable then they would have been explained.

If its a hoax then they have done an excellent job. The question is why ? This seems just as frightening as real aliens that people are fooling everyone with such good evidence.
And you've just done you part to adding more baseless superstition to distract already shaky Christians from the Faith itself.
Its not baseless thats the point. Can you show that these are a hoax. Even the experts cannot explain this. Its just as much a conspiracy to say all the evidence is false when it is right there before our eyes.

And sadly, too many of those people aew Christuans, who of ll people should know better.
That it is not so much that aliens are real but that people are being primed to believe such things.
Primed by what? THere's is no evidence at all of the existence of aliens of any kind, be they ET or demonic. Zero evidence, as in none at all. Zilch. But Christians insist on taking the "them aliens are really demons: take. And the proper response to that is: "THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY ALIENS AT ALL! NO ET ALIENS, NO DEMONIC ALIENS, NO MAGIC ALIENS, NO FLYING SAUCERS, NO "DEFYING THE LAWS OF PHYSICS" NO SUPERSTITIOUS RUBBISH!

It's time to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century! If you see a flying thing you can't identify, SAY IT'S A FLYING THING YOU COULDN'T IDENTIFY! Why is that so difficult for so many people ? And why are we so wired to automatically assume ridiculous "explanations" for things we simply couldn't make out? Have we learned so little in our few millennia out of the caves?
In saying that I think there is a small number that cannot be explained.
I.E., "insufficient data". That takes all the spooky fun out of the thing, doesn't it? Better to say "it deied the laws of Physics" (it didn't), and ascribe it to Spacemen in Flying Saucers or Demons Passing Themselves off As Sacemen in Flying Saucers". "Ohhh, they're out there! Their powers are beyond our understanding! The universe is sooooooo big! They can do anything!". All for a backlit lenticular cloud on the horizon, o the new expweimental aircraft being tested by the Chinese. We construct an entire stupid mythology based on not knowing what we were looking at. They could be explained, given more data and less wild imagination, but where's the fun in that?

We now have conclusive evidence from videos
Evidence of what, precisely? That there were flying thing there we couldn't identify? Duh! The point of that particular aircraft may have been to prevent identification. Nah, that's too easy. Musta been aliens/demons whose tech is a million years more advanced than ours. Right.
, first hand sightings from reliable witnesses within the miliary and air force who have testified under oath in congress.
Reliable witnesses of what? "I couldn't identify it" doesn't establish relianbility as an observer, does it?
For the first time in our history we have the government releasing the evidence and admitting there is something happening that cannot be explained away.
Lemme translate that to English: we have definite evidence of things we couldn't identify or get decent pics of. Well, dang, it must have been Klingons, than!
And this is the point. That its no longer a mystery or denied
What is "that", the? That there are flying things that we haven't identified. But isn't that what UFO actually means? Nothing new there. But you seem to have come to a dramatic revelarion allowing you to identify for former UFOs. If so, I'd be keen to hear it, and hear what evidence brought you to that conclusion.
and even if it turns out to be the government hoax or some other explainable reason. Its the fact that everyone is seeing the images
Which are also unidentifiable blobs...
and hearing credible witnesses that its causing many to believe for good reason.
Witnesses of what? Oh, right, "things they cou;dn't identify". Still "UFOs" even after all the superstitious blather.
What we are seeing is unlike the blurry and grainy images of the past.
Well n,o they aren't.
We are seeing clear images
Share some if you would.
and miliary radar data and its been constant and no one knows what is going on.
Or the military, being the military, aren't saying. And even then, we're still talking about a subset of the 5%
I have never in my life heard of so many sightings as we have seen recently.

But its not mundane stuff.
Ah, so you have identified it! Lemme guess.. demons! That's thre standard religious "explanation" when you can't think of anything else.
Unlike the past where the images were hard to tell or were grainy still shots. These are long videos with clear footage of UAP defying what humans can do.
Ah yea, alien/demon magic. Sorry, in my universe there isn't any magic. God can do miracles, Satan and humans can pull off fakes, but there is no magic.
For example video of a UAP speeding beyond our capability and then coming to a standtill or doing turns from a standing start that humans could not possibly survive the velocity.
As nothing with mass can do. So it's massless. That tell the old engineer enough here that it's a nicely wrought fake-out. "Magic", alright. Like my 300 mph Dodge. (attested by police radar") It didn't defy the laws of physics, but boy it sure looked that way... depending on what TIy were looking at. <Laugh>
Some moving from air to sea. Some only 500 meters from pilots.
Heads down on their instruments, (Yes, they were.)
Pilots say this is fairly common. Are they all lying ?
None of them described either aliens or demons, did they?
Thats what it looks like. Have you seen the videos ?
Yep. I know with a reasonablle SWAG what the infamous tic-tac was. You wouldn't accept it, though. No magical aliens or demons involved. Probably a good many aliens of the terrietrial kind bent over computer keyboards for a good many years to "defy the laws of physics" like they did. I just hope they were ours. BYW, I have a pretty good general idea how they do it, but you wou'd like it and besides that I could b wrong.
If they are fake then someone is playing a serious and dangerous game with the world.
Ya think? Or they're making a definite statement: "Cross us at your peril". That's how I take it. Altogether human. But again, hey, nobody's scared of some nameless foreign keyboard pounders on a continent far, far away, high fiving each other when they read neanderthal drivel like this coming from "the other guys" (that would be us.)

Someone purposely wants people to think aliens and magic is real.
Fortuately, our equivlalent of "those guys" are on top of it, or at least I hope so). In the end, what they can dom we can do.
Actually even the science claims that defying physics is a hypothetical possibility.
On Star Trek. Stick to reality.
They speak of worm holes, multiverses with other dimensions. In fact this is required as part of the logical follow on of the same quantum physiucs.

Right.
Except they would not call it magic but new and undiscovered physics. If you told people 100 years ago we would go to the moon in some flying ship they would think it unreal and magic.

Recently, Vice President JD Vance admitted that he is “obsessed” with UFOs and extraterrestrial visitors. He then suggested that what are often identified as aliens could be masquerading demons. As Vance puts it, “I think one of the devil’s great tricks is to convince people he never existed.”

Vice President Vance is in a growing company of those, including many Christians, who are fascinated with aliens. And especially for Christians, right thinking about ET begins with getting our worldview right on the existence of the natural and supernatural.

In fact, the rise of vague spiritualities not firmly rooted in Christian doctrine has fostered many modern beliefs about aliens. Decades ago, C.S. Lewis rightly stated why we often prefer vague spirituality over encountering the real God:


Recently, CBN News produced a documentary that explored aliens in terms of the supernatural. In an interview, well-known astrophysicist Dr. Hugh Ross claimed that the strongest evidence for demons is asserted encounters with UFOs, and that, statistically, there is a high correlation between those who claim encounters with UFOs and those who have dabbled in the occult or who have had close relatives tied to the occult. It is not surprising, then, that scholars such as Diana Pasulka have identified what some call “UFOology” as a kind of religion, filling a void that Christians know can only be filled by God alone.

Continued below.
"for Christians, right thinking about ET begins with getting our worldview right on the existence of the natural and supernatural."
However, the categories of natural and supernatural are pagan, not part of the biblical worldview. Natural is what humans experience in interacting with the physical world, but supernatural describes the actions of the gods over nature. This dualism is not found in the biblical worldview. The word supernatural never occurs in scripture. Instead, the physical world is the creation of God, and he operates interactively in, with, and through it. Yet all our lives we have been bombarded by Greek philosophical interpretations and translations of the Bible. The medieval theologians were influenced by Platonic dualism. In contrast is Hebrew wholism. There is but one creation. God interacts with us in it. We have no ability to conceive of anything outside space-time. God does not expect it of us, and he does not encourage us to speculate on the nature of his being - his ontology. All he will give us is a tautology: "I will be who I will be."

As for the question of ETs: are they good or evil? Instead of speculating, the Bible is loaded with scenes where ETs (angels) interact with humans, including the genao ("only begotten") or in our English, the unique, one in a class, person of Jesus. Some are fallen angles (demons) including Satan himself interacting with Jesus in the desert, and some are good angels under Yahweh, such as those the shepherds encountered telling them of the birth of Jesus. So it is not only one or the other. There are good and bad ETs, and from the contemporary reports, they are of different species, makes, and models.

1. Angels by definition are "aliens" they don't come from New Jersey or any place at all on Earth
2. NT records fallen angels as beating up on a would-be exorcist. They can have real physical impact according to the Bible
3. Stuff exists that is not on Earth
4. There is absolutely nothing that UFO type aliens claim to be able to do that Satan and his angels cannot do for real.
5. God created planet Earth without any difficulty and He can create more than one World in one Universe.
6. The only fallen beings we know of are human and 1/3 of the Angels. If we were to encounter more God likely would let us know about it in the Bible so I assume that this is all "the fallen beings" that are in the Universe. Everyone else is sinless and fully informed about our problem.

The UFO "story" is needed by Satan to get humans to buy into the Armageddon event in Rev 16 so humans will align themselves against Christ in Rev 19 as if humans expect an evil empire army to show up from space and attack them.

So while I do not reject the idea that God can create sinless beings some place besides the garden of Eden in Gen 1. I don't think the list of intelligent fall beings goes beyond humans and fallen Angels.

The idea that "travel is not possible from some place else to Earth" is just utter nonsense. The fact that humans cannot yet do something does not mean that no created being in the entire universe can also not do that same thing.
So you suppose that the angels that appeared to the shepherds heralding the birth of Jesus were not intelligent? Too many of your numbered assertions are given no support and I do not see how some of them could be supported factually. Some of them I believe can be supported factually.

By the way, 1/3 shows up so often in scripture that it becomes clear that it is not intended to be the quantification of anything but is a metaphor for "a significant fraction of" and not 0.333...

The pertinent facts relating to aliens are the following:

1) We have no verified claims of their existence. Our explorations into space thus far have found only "Magnificent Desolation". SETI has drawn a blank on signals from out there.
2) Aliens are not mentioned in scripture - angels, demons, cherubim and seraphim are all different from corporeal aliens from other planets.
3) There were no reports of aliens until the modern scientific age began. So it seems it could well be demons dressed in high tech clothing.
4) Most theories on aliens are based on two unproven scientific formulas- abiogenesis and the Drake Equation. Abiogenesis (chemical evolution) has no facts supporting its credibility. The Drake equation (a calculation of the number of intelligent civilizations in the universe) depends on abiogenesis and also the assumption that the universe is billions of years old. This is controversial amongst Christians even today.
5) The bible speaks in terms of God becoming one of us in the incarnation and then dying for us to reconcile us to Him. If there are non-human intelligent aliens then how does that pan out for them. Angels are not redeemed by the cross so why should aliens be?
6) The Bible is written in anthropocentric and geocentric language.

The only arguments in favor of aliens are really the creativity of the Creator and the size of the universe. If there are no aliens out there then that is an awful lot of empty real estate.
I am looking for support for your following statements:
1. angels, demons, cherubim and seraphim are all different from corporeal aliens from other planets.
How do you know they (or some of them) do not? How do you know they are ghosts (not corporeal) which are not found anywhere in scripture?
2. This is not true. Dig more deeply into history.
5. What if aliens = angels? Why differentiate? Angels and aliens both come from space (the heavens), they are superior in some abilities to humans, and they have their own soteriological histories which might be none of our business.

And sadly, too many of those people aew Christuans, who of ll people should know better.
If Christians believe there is some truth to these UAP's its not becausethey think they are aliens but rather some sort of demonic phenomena.

The point is many non Christians also believe who don't usually believe in supernatural phenomena because the evidence is so strong. They attribute this to the superpower of aliens. But at the end of the day it all defies reality.
Primed by what? THere's is no evidence at all of the existence of aliens of any kind, be they ET or demonic. Zero evidence, as in none at all. Zilch.
How can you say zero evidence when there is evidence from reliable witnesses under oath and clear videos showing the UAP's doing things that defy human capability.
But Christians insist on taking the "them aliens are really demons: take. And the proper response to that is: "THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY ALIENS AT ALL! NO ET ALIENS, NO DEMONIC ALIENS, NO MAGIC ALIENS, NO FLYING SAUCERS, NO "DEFYING THE LAWS OF PHYSICS" NO SUPERSTITIOUS RUBBISH!
Then explain what the videos are and prove those who gave testimony under oath are lying.
It's time to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century! If you see a flying thing you can't identify, SAY IT'S A FLYING THING YOU COULDN'T IDENTIFY!
But we can identify the actions of those unidentified phenomena. Which show something beyond our capability.Which show control and intelligent manouvering.
Why is that so difficult for so many people ? And why are we so wired to automatically assume ridiculous "explanations" for things we simply couldn't make out? Have we learned so little in our few millennia out of the caves?
Because the phenomena acts in a way that is intelligent. That it has some sort of control and ability to defy our own capability.
I.E., "insufficient data". That takes all the spooky fun out of the thing, doesn't it? Better to say "it deied the laws of Physics" (it didn't), and ascribe it to Spacemen in Flying Saucers or Demons Passing Themselves off As Sacemen in Flying Saucers". "Ohhh, they're out there! Their powers are beyond our understanding! The universe is sooooooo big! They can do anything!".
But the clear video shows that whatever it was defies our physics. Its not like we did not see it manouvering like a controlled object. There is ample data on radar and with eye witness testimony.

I agree it does not mean they are aliens. But whatever it is it has intelligent control that is beyond our capability.
All for a backlit lenticular cloud on the horizon,
This has been counted out by the experts. Thats why its unexplainable. A backlit lenticular cloud on the horizon does not act intelligently and manouver turns or speed up to beyond the speeds we are capable of.
o the new expweimental aircraft being tested by the Chinese.
They have also discounted this. There is no evidence that these craft are coming from another country like China. They disappear and reappear and have capabilities even the Chineses don't have.
We construct an entire stupid mythology based on not knowing what we were looking at. They could be explained, given more data and less wild imagination, but where's the fun in that?
We have plenty of data and evidence to know what they are capable of and show they are not some illusion or unintelligent object floating in the skies like a balloon blowing with the wind. Or light from a cloud that should stay in oneplace and not speed up or turn corners.
Evidence of what, precisely? That there were flying thing there we couldn't identify? Duh!
We have identified the UAP's to the point they have intelligent control and defy our ability. Whatever it is its intelligent and defies our ability.
The point of that particular aircraft may have been to prevent identification. Nah, that's too easy. Musta been aliens/demons whose tech is a million years more advanced than ours. Right.
Not just prevent identification but defy our ability intelligently.
Reliable witnesses of what? "I couldn't identify it" doesn't establish relianbility as an observer, does it?
Identified to the level of having intelligent control and defying human capability. Thats a strong basis to support at least something beyond human ability but also with intelligence.
Lemme translate that to English: we have definite evidence of things we couldn't identify or get decent pics of.
Actually we have good images and also radar and other military data and eye witnesses sighting them at 500 meters away andf describing them.
Well, dang, it must have been Klingons, than!

What is "that", the? That there are flying things that we haven't identified. But isn't that what UFO actually means? Nothing new there. But you seem to have come to a dramatic revelarion allowing you to identify for former UFOs. If so, I'd be keen to hear it, and hear what evidence brought you to that conclusion.
You keep forgetting that despite not knowing exactly what they are we have identified what they can do which is beyond our ability. Its unlike past claims with grainy still shots. We have military data and clear videos of them manouvering beyond our ability. Disappearing, reappearing, moving from a stand still to hypersonic speed beyond our ability. Miltiplying and moving between air and sea in one motion.
Which are also unidentifiable blobs...
They are not blobs. Some have been seen up close and described. Have you actually investigated this. You talk like your back in the 1950's. The data is much more clear now.
Witnesses of what? Oh, right, "things they cou;dn't identify". Still "UFOs" even after all the superstitious blather.
Actually witnesses in congress under oath have testified to seeing the craft and biological remains that are not human.
Well n,o they aren't.
Well yes they are. This image from video shows the UAP manouvering and changing direction and orientation. It clearly shows its a craft. It was tracked for some time.

The 2004 Nimitz "Tic Tac" Encounter: Testifying before a House committee, retired Navy Commander David Fravor described tracking an oblong, wingless object off the California coast in 2004. He stated the object rapidly descended from 80,000 feet to hover above the ocean and later mirrored his fighter jet's movements before accelerating at speeds that defied known physics. [1, 2]

Active Pilot Sensor Data: Former Navy Lieutenant Ryan Graves testified before the House Oversight Committee that military pilots regularly encountered UAPs off the East Coast. He presented evidence that these objects remained stationary in high hurricane-force winds and accelerated to supersonic speeds, posing a direct flight safety and national security hazard. [1, 2]



Share some if you would.
Yeah sure

The Pentagon released three enigmatic videos in April 2020 showing UAPs which the US Navy had verified as accurate. Below are three images from those videos. The photos date from 2004 to 2015 and are described as “metallic blimp,” “sphere,” and “acorn.”

Or the military, being the military, aren't saying. And even then, we're still talking about a subset of the 5%
Yes only a small number are true UAP's. But the military say they don't know what they are and are not covering up. Some have closed down military bases and have been regarded as a threat to national security.
Ah, so you have identified it! Lemme guess.. demons! That's thre standard religious "explanation" when you can't think of anything else.
Only if the UAP's are acknowledged as real and unexplainable. The logic being if they are real intelligent phenomena then the idea that somehow aliens travelled from some place 1,000s of light years away is unreal. Because organic intelligent life cannot withstand travelling at light speeds. Its impossible.

Its a logical follow on that these could be some sort of phenomena from another dimension. Even science admits this.
Ah yea, alien/demon magic. Sorry, in my universe there isn't any magic. God can do miracles, Satan and humans can pull off fakes, but there is no magic.
Magic is simply a term used by some as a quality of something defying physics and reality. Call it waht you want but it defies our physics and reality.
As nothing with mass can do. So it's massless. That tell the old engineer enough here that it's a nicely wrought fake-out. "Magic", alright. Like my 300 mph Dodge. (attested by police radar") It didn't defy the laws of physics, but boy it sure looked that way... depending on what TIy were looking at. <Laugh>
Yet we have images of metallic objects defying phsics and reality. Massless objects cannot manouver, have speed to cut through space and act within space and time. Yet defy that space and time.
Heads down on their instruments, (Yes, they were.)
No they were focused on the objects and instruments. Have ypu listened to the testimony. They describe visiually sighting the objects and then fixing on them with radar and moving back and forth from visual sights and instruments to determine what they were seeing. Some being tracked by instruments on the ground or ships at the same time.
None of them described either aliens or demons, did they?
Yes the witnesses under oath in congress describe seeing biological remains of non humans.
Yep. I know with a reasonablle SWAG what the infamous tic-tac was. You wouldn't accept it, though. No magical aliens or demons involved.
How do you know. Show the evidence they were not possibly aliens or demons. We have evidence of their ability which is beyond humans. The Tic Tac UAP is only one as I have shown above. These UAP's manouver and turn and change speeds beyond human ability.
Probably a good many aliens of the terrietrial kind bent over computer keyboards for a good many years to "defy the laws of physics" like they did. I just hope they were ours. BYW, I have a pretty good general idea how they do it, but you wou'd like it and besides that I could b wrong.
I am not saying you are wrong or I am wrong. I think it could easily be shown that the UAP's were computer generated. For one many are seen live or on radar. But AI generated images have certain signatures as opposed to real.

They may be sophisticated drones. Or some scientist has unlocked quantum physics as it seems if there is any way to defy current classical physics its going to be something to do with QP which is well acknowledged as having extra dimensional aspects that defy our known physics.
Ya think? Or they're making a definite statement: "Cross us at your peril". That's how I take it. Altogether human. But again, hey, nobody's scared of some nameless foreign keyboard pounders on a continent far, far away, high fiving each other when they read neanderthal drivel like this coming from "the other guys" (that would be us.)
As mentioned UAP's are experienced live, in real time. But also in all major nations. This is really a worldwide phenomena.

Are you saying that somehow someone has been able to generate objects to appear and reappear as solid objects from a distant computer. Like a sophisticated drone. That would be amazing and scary in itself and something demons would do controlling us. Something that can actually change our reality and mindset so that we believe the impossible.
Fortuately, our equivlalent of "those guys" are on top of it, or at least I hope so). In the end, what they can dom we can do.
I hope so. Though I will stick to my beliefs and I don't think they are unreal. No more than what else has been proposed. Including that this is nothing and explainable.

As a Christian the logical explanation is demonic phenomena. Whether created by demonic visions or the use of humans to do so. Because it changes the reality for humans and opens the door for phenomena beyond what we thought was real. Once this door is open anything can be made real to fool people and control them.
On Star Trek. Stick to reality.
Actually in theorectical physics and cosmology. Ever heard of quantum physics.

The movie Interstella was loosely based on QP thoery of Worm holes.
Here are some more science fiction

Sou suppose that the angels that appeared to the shepherds heralding the birth of Jesus were not intelligent?
Nope. I consider them sinless, intelligent alien life forms, not born in Maryland or any other place on Earth
Too many of your numbered assertions are given no support and I do not see how some of them could be supported factually.
fine. Let's discuss which ones you are talking about.
Some of them I believe can be supported factually.
indeed
By the way, 1/3 shows up so often in scripture that it becomes clear that it is not intended to be the quantification of anything but is a metaphor for "a significant fraction of" and not 0.333...

if it was 0.41 or 0.31 I would not complain

As for the question of ETs: are they good or evil?
They who? Gonna get difficult to decide whether ETs are good or bad until we decide whether either are any or not. I'm not ready to accept the existence of "ETs" at all without some substial proof. Telling me how very big the universe is and there just have to be "aliens"."ot there" is codswallop. YOu could make that same fidiculous in favor of elves and pixies as well, and I find they're pretty scarce in these parts as well. "Oh, but they're demons!" That might be a little more compelling an argument if we had any reason to believe they exist at all. Kinda like... aliens.
Instead of speculating, the Bible is loaded with scenes where ETs (angels)
Sorry, the "ETs is Angels/Demons" says nothing, since you still can't establish whether there are in fact any "ETs" at all, which we can't. "Oh, but these out-of-focus pictures of presumably flying blobs of some sort prove We Are Not Alone. No, all they prove is that photography is a lot more difficult that most folks belive. So no, claiming that Spacemen and Flying Saucers are demons or angels still leaves the necessity of proving that there are any Spacemn, with or without Flying Saucers. I'm from Missouri. I you have any "proof" better than a lot=rz snapshot of some unidentifiable something, you're talking through your hat.
interact with humans, including the genao ("only begotten") or in our English, the unique, one in a class, person of Jesus.
Angels and demons interested with our Lord, stipulsstrf. You say they're ET "aliens". I say rubbish.
Some are fallen angles (demons) including Satan himself interacting with Jesus in the desert, and some are good angels under Yahweh, such as those the shepherds encountered telling them of the birth of Jesus. So it is not only one or the other. There are good and bad ETs, and from the contemporary reports, they are of different species, makes, and models.
How handy to make ETs and Aliens into the same critters where there's no evidence to prove that ETs exist at all. Master of Faith for you, innit? Not for me. I see nary a word out an space-faring sentient beings at all. You can make up your own mythology if you like. I prefer to sail a bit closer to the wind than that.

BTW, are you SDA? They see to have aliens of on stripe or another part of their cosmology. I consider that right up there will declaring schmoos to be celestial life forms of some sort.

In saying that I think there is a small number that cannot be explained.
As I noted, a bit less than 5%. Whici are quite probably a matter of insufficient data. To just then as Spacemen in Flying Saucers of diabolical creatures trying to deceive us into believing they exist, for some reason.
We now have conclusive evidence
Evidence of what, precisely? That there are things flying around, or appearing to fly around that we lack sufficient data to claassify. Ergo they're either Spacemenn in Flying Saucers or demons/angels. Interesting "logic" in play there, isn't there? "Ain't a 737, must be spacemen". Right.
from videos, first hand sightings from reliable witnesses within the miliary and air force who have testified under oath in congress.
Told of us of things they couldn't identify, which is what a UFO is by definition. Except that y'all believe that you've identified based on bad pictures and baffled witnesses. Gotta me magic spacemen.
For the first time in our history we have the government releasing the evidence
Evidence of what> Bad photography?
and admitting there is something happening that cannot be explained away.
That "can't be explained" is your inference. And in fact you offer a couple of extraodinarily unliked "explanations", one involving unprovable spacemen, and one involving magic. Very scientific.
And this is the point. That its no longer a mystery or denied
It what?
and even if it turns out to be the government hoax or some other explainable reason. Its the fact that everyone is seeing the images and hearing credible witnesses that its causing many to believe for good reason.
Reason to believe...what? Spacemen? Rubbish. Demons/angels? Just for their magical abilities?
What we are seeing is unlike the blurry and grainy images of the past.
You're obviously not looking at any of the pics from the "Nimitz Incident", which are prime examples of the "grainy and blurry" school of photography.
We are seeing clear images and miliary radar data and its been constant and no one knows what is going on. I have never in my life heard of so many sightings as we have seen recently.

But its not mundane stuff.
So you say, but I'm of the opinion you decided that a good many years ago. Ne c'est pas?
Unlike the past where the images were hard to tell or were grainy still shots. These are long videos with clear footage of UAP defying what humans can do.
Yeah like the 45,000 mph bogeys hat weren't the hottest things in that hemisphere after flying, stopping, Turing 180 degrees, accerating to 45K mph and, before returning to Tic-Tacvill and stopping on that proverbial dime.

It'a kind like my 300 mph can. Clocked at that speed by police radar. Pretty much defied the laws of physics. Rhose of us who'd worked on it thought it was hilarious. The cop buddy who clocked it allowed we would make millions on the device right up until we got caught with it. Had to be magic. Defied the laws of physics. Magic, of the redneck geekboy variety. You've have sworn we were in league with the devil. In fact we were in hock to the tune of about $300, with the electronics wholesaler, which meant no beer until next payday.
Now if some old redneck college boys could make a no Dodge run at 300 mph (as evidence by a properly calibrated cop radar gun, with only one Asian geekazoid amongst them, what might a nation that cracks out engineers faster then we turn out English and Gender Studies majors, with the full financial resources of a nation with essentially limitless money to spend on whatever it wants to, do with it to make their potattial opponents believe they're dealing with space magic?

Nah, can't be that. Space Magic, that's it!
For example video of a UAP speeding beyond our capability and then coming to a standtill or doing turns from a standing start that humans could not possibly survive the velocity.
Yep. Had to be massless. Two possibilities. It was massless, which mens It was eight magic, or it didn't do what it looked like it did. Pick one, because those are your options. One makes sense. One sorry, does not.
Some moving from air to sea. Some only 500 meters from pilots. Pilots say this is fairly common. Are they all lying ?
Nope. You see that kind of thing all the time in movies. There a hint for you there, but you won'y notice it. <Laugh>
Thats what it looks like. Have you seen the videos ? If they are fake then someone is playing a serious and dangerous game with the world.
My dad and friends used to make the Germans things ther airspace was infested with heavy bombers. Radar=r laid flak battered didn't know where to shoot. They did it by chucking aluminum "chaff" (aka "Window) out the plane windows. No magic needed.
That in itself is as frightening as real aliens.
Baloney. The state of the art in warfare is changing. Look at primary weapons at play the Iran war. Aliens my honid leg.
Because people are being fooled and believe its real.
That what's real? Y'all haven't even decode3d that yet? Except it's almost certainlly either probably nonexistent "aliens", or demons. An explanation suitablefor Micronesian Cargo Cultists.
Not because it is obviously fake. But because it seems so real with good evidence. Someone purposely wants people to think aliens and magic is real.
And the nonsensically credulous will oblige them.
Actually even the science claims that defying physics is a hypothetical possibility.
Give it a try, you may hit on something. That ain't the wayyo to bet, though.
They speak of worm holes, multiverses with other dimensions. In fact this is required as part of the logical follow on of the same quantum physiucs.
And Alderson Tramlines, and Pportablr gravity hols "Impeller" drives, and Bergenholm Converors that render the operator... massless. Sure. SF is chocablock with that kind of stuff. I'd hedge my gbets on those. You're better off with magic for the moment.
Except they would not call it magic
Who wouldn't? That's y'all are talking about.
but new and undiscovered physics. If you told people 100 years ago we would go to the moon in some flying ship they would think it unreal and magic.

There is good reason. We have congressional testimony under oath from credible witnesses. We have first hand eye witnesses.

Unlike in the past where this was covered up and there was never any clear video. We now have the government admitting there is some strange stuff going on that they cannot explain.

Actually the level of evidence is not foolish for people to at least think theres a possibility. Its not like we have no clear evidence. In fact the same level of evidence would normally be enough in court to say its not foolish that some are convince. Because its actually good evidence.

Or at least appears to be. Until then I don't think people are foolish to consider it a reall possibility that something strange is happening based on that evidence.

They can identify them. Unlike in the past where it was denied and the images were hard to tell. We have clear images and video of UAP's. The experts cannot explain this.

But they are not fringe sects but credible witnesses from the military and air force. We also have access to the same evidence to see for ourselves and they don't look or act like whether balloons or any human made craft. They are there right before our eyes.

Whatever it is the evidence is so good that most people now believe in such things. We have never had any explanation or credible evidence that this is a hoax or even of human origin. If they were explainable then they would have been explained.

If its a hoax then they have done an excellent job. The question is why ? This seems just as frightening as real aliens that people are fooling everyone with such good evidence.

Its not baseless thats the point. Can you show that these are a hoax. Even the experts cannot explain this. Its just as much a conspiracy to say all the evidence is false when it is right there before our eyes.

Yes insufficent evidence. So its open to both possibilities. Insufficent data does not mean its not a possibility. Considering the data we do have on the ability of the phenomena it is more likely to be something out of the ordinary.

Even an elaborate hoax is itself a world changing phenomena and incredible feat for humans. Which many doubt we could achieve. Certainly no nation has come anywhere near such levels.
Evidence of what, precisely? That there are things flying around, or appearing to fly around that we lack sufficient data to claassify. Ergo they're either Spacemenn in Flying Saucers or demons/angels. Interesting "logic" in play there, isn't there? "Ain't a 737, must be spacemen". Right.
As mentioned the idea that there is complete lack of evidence is a misrepresentation. We have enough data to know the capability of some UAP's is beyond human ability. That in itself tells us a lot about the intelligence of whoever is behind them.
Told of us of things they couldn't identify, which is what a UFO is by definition. Except that y'all believe that you've identified based on bad pictures and baffled witnesses. Gotta me magic spacemen.
This is another misrepresentation. As mentioned they have identified the UAP's to know their capability is beyond humans.
Evidence of what> Bad photography?
This was not from some amateur photographer but military images. They are quite good images considering this may be miles away. You can see details such as the metallic material.

The videos are also clear in showing the ability of these UAP's. Compared to the actual fake images and videos which are shaky, and look like the Thunderbirds lol.
That "can't be explained" is your inference.
Actually the proper statement given is "cannot be explained by human capability". Like when someone miraculously is cured of cancer. The doctors say its "beyond rational and scientific explanations".
And in fact you offer a couple of extraodinarily unliked "explanations", one involving unprovable spacemen, and one involving magic. Very scientific.
Actually its the science that is telling us that its beyond what humans are capable of. It defies known science and tech. So its natural that explanations are going to be something beyond what we know or are capable of by some very intelligent being.

Being unidentified means all the common explanations like light reflections, wheather balloons, satellites and planes ect have been ruled out. Therefore if real the most common explanations most people will give is some sort of intelligence beyond humans. Because logically the phenomena acts intelligent with capabilities beyond humans.
The government has admitted there are UFO's and that they are beyond human capability.
Reason to believe...what? Spacemen? Rubbish. Demons/angels? Just for their magical abilities?
Not in anything specific. But be primed and open to believing in ideas beyond human ability.
You're obviously not looking at any of the pics from the "Nimitz Incident", which are prime examples of the "grainy and blurry" school of photography.
Thats right. Unlike the past we have many videos of UAP's doing stuff beyond human capability right before our eyes. UAP's speeding way beyond our best jets. Spheres and tic tacs that can turn and dart under water without wings. Come to a complete stop and then take off as incredible speeds. Or turn corners at speeds humans could not survive.
So you say, but I'm of the opinion you decided that a good many years ago. Ne c'est pas?
Well it seems I am not the only one. The majority of people are wondering the same thing. Its only natural considering what has come out recently seen in the skies.
Yeah like the 45,000 mph bogeys hat weren't the hottest things in that hemisphere after flying, stopping, Turing 180 degrees, accerating to 45K mph and, before returning to Tic-Tacvill and stopping on that proverbial dime.

You've have sworn we were in league with the devil. In fact we were in hock to the tune of about $300, with the electronics wholesaler, which meant no beer until next payday.
I don't think 300 mph is anything like these UAP's.
Nah, can't be that. Space Magic, that's it!

Yep. Had to be massless. Two possibilities. It was massless, which mens It was eight magic, or it didn't do what it looked like it did. Pick one, because those are your options. One makes sense. One sorry, does not.
Saying "what we clearly see before our eyes is not doing what we can clearly see" does not make sense. Its like saying the car I clearly see driving by is not doing what I see it doing.

Its also a either/or fallacy that it has to be one of these two things. It may be real and not magic but some sort of advanced tech. Or projections put into our minds. Or it could be some sort of other dimensional phenomena which even science admits is possible.
Nope. You see that kind of thing all the time in movies. There a hint for you there, but you won'y notice it. <Laugh>

My dad and friends used to make the Germans things ther airspace was infested with heavy bombers. Radar=r laid flak battered didn't know where to shoot. They did it by chucking aluminum "chaff" (aka "Window) out the plane windows. No magic needed.
All these standard possibilities like interference, radar anomelies ect would be a major security concern if it was the case. They would discover the hoax. But in some cases they cannot find any hoax.
Baloney. The state of the art in warfare is changing. Look at primary weapons at play the Iran war. Aliens my honid leg.
You obviously did not read what I said. I said "even if its not aliens" it is still concerning.
That what's real? Y'all haven't even decode3d that yet? Except it's almost certainlly either probably nonexistent "aliens", or demons. An explanation suitablefor Micronesian Cargo Cultists.
If as you say the phenomena is unexplainable then all possibilities are on the table. That you discount phenomena beyond human ability or even demons is your belief and not fact.

Because the phenomena could be real. You have dismissed it without any evidence because you claim its unexplainable. Therefore you have no evidence that its not real and is fake.
And the nonsensically credulous will oblige them.
If the evidence is so good and real then it is quite reasonable that people believe such ideas. Afterall the evidence is good enough to convince most and even experts.

Because the same level of evidence meets the criteria to infer that the phenomena could be real. There is no difference.
Give it a try, you may hit on something. That ain't the wayyo to bet, though.
Its not a bet. The science is robust and QM is one of the most verified theories. Which happens to support such ideas as other dimensions with theories like the Multiverse and String theory.
And Alderson Tramlines, and Pportablr gravity hols "Impeller" drives, and Bergenholm Converors that render the operator... massless. Sure. SF is chocablock with that kind of stuff. I'd hedge my gbets on those. You're better off with magic for the moment.
It ain't science fiction. But even if we go with your claim. Then we would have to admit that even science engages in SF and undermine science itself as the arbitor of what is real or not.
Who wouldn't? That's y'all are talking about.
Most just say its capaibility is beyond what humans can do or explain. Thus it logically follows that the explanation will involve something beyond humans with intelligence.

Magic is too ambigious. It could mean anything. But its apt as a general description of something that defies this world by doing feats that look like magic ie appear and disappear or morph into different objects.

I generally agree with @stevevw, but I think the idea that the UFOs have technology beyond human intelligence is an assumption. They can do things that human machines can’t do, but I don’t have to look farther than my front window to see swifts doing “impossible” things. I think Christians make a big mistake in thinking that the heavenly realm is merely angels, demons, and God. As I pointed out before and they mentioned in the video, God could have made things that are not mentioned in the Bible. God didn’t hold back in making all sorts of animals on earth, and there is no reason to think He didn’t do the same thing in the heavens. Some in the photographs might be of these things. There was a big fad called “sky fish” that were popular many years ago. It started out innocently enough with animals like bacteria that are translucent flying in the atmosphere and turned into things ridiculous, from the size of birds to gigantic creatures. There is also the idea of “the ghost in the machine” where spirits take control of mechanical objects. If the UFOs are alien, it would not make sense that they crash after having the technology to fly across the galaxy. If they are other creatures, the crashes make more sense. My guess is that we are seeing things that we don’t understand that might be creatures that are physical or spiritual or both. They could be demons, and a lot of people assume they are demons, but they might be something else entirely. Until we see more physical evidence studied by scientists, we just don’t know. The UFOs could also be a collection of different things. Limiting the topic to demons and aliens is no different than saying everything we don’t understand are fairies.

Yes insufficent evidence. So its open to both possibilities. Insufficent data does not mean its not a possibility.
And so are elves, sentient june bugs, spacemen from Rige; IV, or demons. As much evidence for any one as any other. "But it gotd to be demons becaiae demons are magic. Which ignorea a few thousand possibilities that don't suit your presuppositions.
Considering the data we do have on the ability of the phenomena it is more likely to be something out of the ordinary.
Whatever that means. I'm going to harp on my 300 mph car a bit more. How did we manage to do that (confirmed by police radar, mind you), without the aid of angels, demons, Black Magic, pacts with Satan, mojo dust, Bergenholm Converters, or any help other than the use of cop buddy and his radar gun,my Bank Americard and an account at an electronics store that carried a lot of fairly esoteric stuff and shipped via UPS. Yessirree, '72 Dodge Charger with the 318 V*. No, we didn't drop it out of an airplane.
Even an elaborate hoax is itself a world changing phenomena and incredible feat for humans.
What do you call a "hoax"? I call it more advanced technology. "But it's impossible!" Sure it is. So is sawing a lady in half, but stage magicians do it all the time. Did the radar returns of the UAPs leave and return at 45K mph? Just as surely as my old Charger went from zero to 300 MPH in front of witnesses and confirmed by police radar. Now seeing that's impossible, we had to have enlisted the assistance of the Dark Lord his own self (no thanks. I didn't have a long enough spoon to sup with the devil), or we discovered a New Physics that we would use (I wish, I had enough trouble with the old one), or irt waqs good old Tennessee redneck (or orange neck in my sease) aeing what we could get away with. Fove of us could testify to it, one of us a sworn police oficier. Wghat more do you sant? We did the impossible. I'd been keen to hear your explanation. It is pertinent to this conversating? Oh yeah.
Which many doubt we could achieve. Certainly no nation has come anywhere near such levels.
But som redneck country boy in Tennessee did nack in gthe mid 70s. Dang, were we were better than we knew!
As mentioned the idea that there is complete lack of evidence is a misrepresentation. We have enough data to know the capability of some UAP's is beyond human ability.
No, we do not. Not even close. Back to my 300 mph Dodge. Utterly impossible. But we had the speed radar readings to prove it. Now where were we? Back to evil magic? Nah, Old Church of Cjrist boys don't play that.
That in itself tells us a lot about the intelligence of whoever is behind them.
Bright trch gouy with acces to tech stuff that wou;d make an old geekbook foam at the mouth. Nah, gotta ba aliens. Nemmind no one's ever seen any...
This is another misrepresentation. As mentioned they have identified the UAP's to know their capability is beyond humans.
No, that they have not. The UAPs *appeared" to have superpoers, just like the magician "apears to saw the lady in half. There is a diffference.
This was not from some amateur photographer but military images.
God stufl then. A shame the eagle eyed pilots were unable to visually tract the UFOs leeaving and instantly returning at an estiMATED 45,000 mph. Ain't nobody quite that aharp eyed, are they?
They are quite good images considering this may be miles away.
Oh please! THeye were rubbish; look at what you posted, from crying out loud! They loked like stuff from "Supercar". )Look it up)
You can see details such as the metallic material.
What, the balloons? Of course they were terellac, they're hugh altitude baloons, and nothing to do with the Nimitz Incident.
The videos are also clear in showing the ability of these UAP's.
Sure, that's why hey were created. That's what ECMs are for
Actually the proper statement given is "cannot be explained by human capability"
Unless they're massless, which they are. I'm sorry, can anyone really be this obtuse?
. Like when someone miraculously is cured of cancer. The doctors say its "beyond rational and scientific explanations".
Which no doctor woth hi s his MD qould ever say, because it's stupid. He's attribute it to "spontaneous remission", and give you you volumes of examples a,d reasons why it happens sometimes and not others. Let's no go back to simple superstition again.
Actually its the science that is telling us that its beyond what humans are capable of.
N o, that's starry eyeded enthisiasts and other True Believers who are giving us that.
It defies known science and tech.
Known to whom? The Trinity bomb defiend "know tech", but it was still a city-smasher.
So its natural that explanations are going to be something beyond what we know or are capable of by some very intelligent being.
And the "explanation" are therefore ridiculous. You're still peddling Spacemen and Flying saucers, or the Demonic variation thereof. Reel in your imagination and look at what we can do and not sjat your auperstitious awe leads you to thing is being do.

Do it this say: Say "How can we have done stuff like this with existin tech, or reasonab;le extenaion there. No indetectable spacemen, no unscripural demons (Scti[ural demons eere notably lacking in magical powers),. just us humans. If you're intellectualy honest you'll see where tht that psth takes you, if you're not, then, you'll keep blathering about Spavemen, Ecil Angels, and Black Magic
Being unidentified means all the common explanations like light reflections, wheather balloons, satellites and planes ect have been ruled out.
So you just ruled out stealth aircraft. The air force willl be so sad to lose them. As for stuff being "ruled out", as existing (I'm seen some myself) or as being magic? Good, let's rule out magic, It doesn't exist. Physics, however, does.
Therefore if real the most common explanations most people will give is some sort of intelligence beyond humans.
Becuuse people are culturally programmed to just to idiotic conclusions like that. Ghosts demons, spacemen, hoodos, ghoulies, ghosties, long leggity beasties. Plus those things are *fun*/ Science is boring and hard to understand. So it's spacemen.
Because logically the phenomena acts intelligent with capabilities beyond humans.
No, not logically. That's precisely what trhey arew not.. Emotionally, it has to be space drivers and/or boogermen.
The government has admitted there are UFO
Yes. UNIDENTFIED flying objects. Most, if not all of them, are airplencew. Sory, maye, but that's the facts.
's and that they are beyond human capability.
Except when the "UFO" is actually a KC-135 tanker or, in my case, an A-12 "Oxcart". Went for years now knowing what it was OR HOW IT PLAINLLY DID WHAT i SAW (AND HEARD). Now I do. Pretty amazing.
Not in anything specific. But be primed and open to believing in ideas beyond human ability.
And believe nothing else. Never let reality interfere with a good story.
Thats right. Unlike the past we have many videos of UAP's doing stuff beyond human capability
Sure, just as we have videos pf the Ebterprise moving at warp factor whatever. Let's not be infantile.
right before our eyes.
Well, right before your instrunets, anyway, You ete? Considerably less so. Visual at 45000KMPH? And I'm upir sainted grandmother.
UAP's speeding way beyond our best jets.
Yep, none of our inventory will go 44KMPH. Then again, neither will anything else. You're back to magic, and there ain't no magic.
Spheres and tic tacs that can turn and dart under water without wings.
They don't need wings. (Factual statement) Figure out why that is nd you'll a you'll becong to see what;s going on.
Come to a complete stop and then take off as incredible speeds. Or turn corners at speeds humans could not survive.
Yep. Had to be massless. So what's masless? Hmmm....
Well it seems I am not the only one.
Sadly, no.
The majority of people are wondering the same thing.
And the vox populi is the vov Dae, right? Well, no.
Its only natural considering what has come out recently seen in the skies.
Only natural, and simply wrong.
I don't think 300 mph is anything like these UAP's.
TSull pointedly missing the point. How did I make the old Charger go 300 MPH according to police radar? That;s impossible! Yep, is is. Did it anyway. Figure it out.
Saying "what we clearly see before our eyes is not doing what we can clearly see" does not make sense.
Sadly, it makes perfect sense. Unless you think the magician realyl sawed the lady in half.
Its like saying the car I clearly see driving by is not doing what I see it doing.
I reckon you'd argue with police radar, admissible in court.
Its also a either/or fallacy
Learn what a fallacy is, and what actualy constitues an EO fallacy.
that it has to be one of these two things
Or not. If you see only two possibilities in this case then you're stuck there.
. It may be real and not magic but some sort of advanced tech.
Whose tech, and what kind? Hint: The origion of the tech being people who we can;t demonstrate ever existed, that ain't a parsimonious explanarion.
Or projections put into our minds.
Magic again.
Or it could be some sort of other dimensional phenomena which even science admits is possible.
Possible doesn't all imply probably. And in this case it's still equivalent to invoking magic.
All these standard possibilities like interference, radar anomelies ect would be a major security concern if it was the case.
YOu don't think ot's a major security concern? Really?
They would discover the hoax.
Who said anything about a hoax?
But in some cases they cannot find any hoax.
There is no hoax.
You obviously did not read what I said. I said "even if its not aliens"
Because the "even if" rendered it ridiculous.
If as you say the phenomena is unexplainable
It's entirely explainable, and the folks who know, know.
then all possibilities are on the table.
Sure. But spacemen, flying saucers, and angels/demons are way, way, WAY down the list.
That you discount phenomena beyond human ability
Nope, there simply aren't any of those in evidence. And to reacch as a primary possibility is simply knee jerk superstition working.
or even demons is your belief and not fact.
Do demons if DSCripture ever do anything magical? Np, they jusy torment poor unfortunates.

Because the phenomena could be real.
WHAT PHENOMENA? Demons? Sure. So are disease germs. So what?
You have dismissed it without any evidence because you claim its unexplainable.
No, I claim it's emtirely explainble. you just prefer for the "explanation" to be spacemen and/or demons.
Therefore you have no evidence that its not real and is fake.
I have precisely as much evidence as you do, it's just least me down a trail my tech geekery leads me. In my economy, the fallacious position is the one that says "It had to be spacemen or demons, nothing else is possible!" id the one that denied all extant evidence, and lunges directly toward superstitious arm waving.
If the evidence is so good and real then it is quite reasonable that people believe such ideas.
Depends on which one they like the best. You like the skooky-loo "answer". "We cn't do that! Nobody can do that! It has to be magic spacemen who can Defy The Laws of Physics, or devils who can just do magic! There is no other possibility! Well yeah, there are far better answers, that don't leave us dancing around a camp fire shaking a rattle.
Afterall the evidence is good enough to convince most and even experts.
Truth by popular vite. Rubbish.
Because the same level of evidence meets the criteria to infer that the phenomena could be real. There is no difference.
Baloney,
Its not a bet. The science is robust
Show us the scientific proof for either aliens or spacemen.
and QM is one of the most verified theories.
Right up until it ain'
Which happens to support such ideas as other dimensions with theories like the Multiverse and String theory.
Whic has nothing whtsoever to to with UAPs unless you're wanibng to claim that's where the spacemen come from.
It ain't science fiction.
It ain't much scvience fact, either.
But even if we go with your claim. Then we would have to admit that even science engages in SF and undermine science itself as the arbitor of what is real or not.

An imaginary claim. I don'y invoke outlandish theories. It's your lot dragging in spacemen and evil spirits.
Most just say its capaibility is beyond what humans can do or explain. Thus it logically follows that the explanation will involve something beyond humans with intelligence.

Magic is too ambigious.
And it has the unfortuneate problem with not existing.

, but I think the idea that the UFOs have technology beyond human intelligence is an assumption.
Especially when about 90% of the time when "UFO' means some common place thing, misidentified.
They can do things that human machines can’t do,
Or at least appear to.
but I don’t have to look farther than my front window to see swifts doing “impossible” things.
YES! "Impossible" is an entirely subjective term.

And so are elves, sentient june bugs, spacemen from Rige; IV, or demons. As much evidence for any one as any other. "But it gotd to be demons becaiae demons are magic. Which ignorea a few thousand possibilities that don't suit your presuppositions.
Actually its interesting that "elves" originates they have evolved from Germanic and Norse mythology about ancient demigods and folkloric nature spirits. Most stories of dragons and giants ect stem from myths gods and spirits.

The reason we don't say its a human made craft or weather balloon is because they act in a certain way within our understanding of space/time. The UAP's don't.
Whatever that means. I'm going to harp on my 300 mph car a bit more. How did we manage to do that (confirmed by police radar, mind you), without the aid of angels, demons, Black Magic, pacts with Satan, mojo dust, Bergenholm Converters, or any help other than the use of cop buddy and his radar gun,my Bank Americard and an account at an electronics store that carried a lot of fairly esoteric stuff and shipped via UPS. Yessirree, '72 Dodge Charger with the 318 V*. No, we didn't drop it out of an airplane.
Its a poor comparison. For one humans are capable of going 300 mph. It would have been more impressive it they made it go 45,000 mph. If its some sort of hoax caused by some device then its easily explainable that the device gave a false reading. The fault is in the device,

Where as the UAP's have military data showing the extraordinary speed and feats. The same devices that show accurately our own crafts speeds and feats as nothing like this.
What do you call a "hoax"? I call it more advanced technology. "But it's impossible!" Sure it is. So is sawing a lady in half, but stage magicians do it all the time.
Its obviously looks like more advanced tech. Our craft cannot do what the UAP's do. Technically I don't think its impossible. We thought flying was impossible at one stage.

But this tech is next level stuff that I don't think any human has. Its so advanced that it makes ours look primitive. Why would some nation like the US or China have such a high level of tech and yet everything else so primitive. We would have already been on Mars 100 years ago.
Did the radar returns of the UAPs leave and return at 45K mph? Just as surely as my old Charger went from zero to 300 MPH in front of witnesses and confirmed by police radar.
But a Charger going from zero to 300 is well within human ability. We see this happen in drag races.
Now seeing that's impossible, we had to have enlisted the assistance of the Dark Lord his own self (no thanks. I didn't have a long enough spoon to sup with the devil),
If your Charger went from zero to 45,000 mph people would be thinking it had some assistence from the Dark Lord lol. Let alone come to a complete standstill in an instant and then take off again.
or we discovered a New Physics that we would use (I wish,
Yeah the UAP's definitely show some pretty impressive tech and physics. For one no human or biological species could survive such velocity. Could be some sort of drone.

But still any nation with such tech would be so advanced to the rest of the world that it would show. They could make millions. Imagine air tasker lol. You order something from Chine and it instantly gets to you on the other side of the world. I see no human with that tech.
I had enough trouble with the old one), or irt waqs good old Tennessee redneck (or orange neck in my sease) aeing what we could get away with. Fove of us could testify to it, one of us a sworn police oficier. Wghat more do you sant? We did the impossible. I'd been keen to hear your explanation. It is pertinent to this conversating? Oh yeah. But som redneck country boy in Tennessee did nack in gthe mid 70s. Dang, were we were better than we knew!
How is that anywhere near the same level of credibility as military testifying under oath. But it does bring up a good point about believability coming down to the testimony of witnesses. Like with ghosts, NDE or even the disiciples in witnessing Christs resurrection.
No, we do not. Not even close. Back to my 300 mph Dodge. Utterly impossible. But we had the speed radar readings to prove it. Now where were we? Back to evil magic? Nah, Old Church of Cjrist boys don't play that.
I keep saying its a false comparison. For one we couold work out how it happened and find it was a hoax or that someone had come up with the tech. 300 mph is not a great feat. This never turned into a great following of Chargers defying reality. It was explained and came within normal ability or proven a hoax.

But these UAP's defy even what humans could possibly do ever fullstop. The tech is not even on our radar. Thats why its so world breaking and people then cite out of this world explanations because it cannot be explained away.
Bright trch gouy with acces to tech stuff that wou;d make an old geekbook foam at the mouth. Nah, gotta ba aliens. Nemmind no one's ever seen any...
If any human had such tech it would be like Enstien level of tech in the year 1000 AD. The tech would transform the world. Its a completly different paradigm mindset to what we now know.
No, that they have not. The UAPs *appeared" to have superpoers, just like the magician "apears to saw the lady in half. There is a diffference.
So are you saying UAP's are magic. Or some sort of illusion in the skies. Or maybe mass self imposed illusion.
God stufl then. A shame the eagle eyed pilots were unable to visually tract the UFOs leeaving and instantly returning at an estiMATED 45,000 mph. Ain't nobody quite that aharp eyed, are they?
I linked the radar tracking the UAP's to get their speeds and feats.
Oh please! THeye were rubbish; look at what you posted, from crying out loud! They loked like stuff from "Supercar". )Look it up)
I agree they are unclear as far as seeing intricate details. But its more the shapes which are clear that are unusual and other worldly. Some shapeshift and others are darting everywhere or at speed. Just weird and strange phenomena.

1780626739634.png
1780626831316.png



This is in addition to the government data base I linked showing radar videos of UAP's and direct sightings of weird objectlike moving around intelligently at speed and doing feats our aircraft could not do.
What, the balloons? Of course they were terellac, they're hugh altitude baloons, and nothing to do with the Nimitz Incident.
How do balloons move at 45,000 mph or come to a complete standstill or reverse their direction against the wind ?
Sure, that's why hey were created. That's what ECMs are for
EMC's only track what is a real object. These real objects are being tracked doing stuff beyond what humans can do.
Unless they're massless, which they are. I'm sorry, can anyone really be this obtuse?
How coulkd EMC track something massless. But nevertheless you are acknowledging they are massless which makes UAP's even more interesting. Don't we usually say spirits or something beyond materialism are massless. What could be massless and move intelligently ?.
Which no doctor woth hi s his MD qould ever say, because it's stupid. He's attribute it to "spontaneous remission", and give you you volumes of examples a,d reasons why it happens sometimes and not others. Let's no go back to simple superstition again.
Spontaneous remission does not explain every case. Besides what is spontaneous remission ?

Isn't that just another way to say the body cured itself from what is an incurable disease ? This still defies known science and in fact goes against the science that cancer is incurable. Its just making the body itself the miracle maker without explaining how. Thats still magic thinking.
No, that's starry eyeded enthisiasts and other True Believers who are giving us that.
Yes some of the UAP's look like stars and chandeliers moving about intelligently.
Known to whom? The Trinity bomb defiend "know tech", but it was still a city-smasher.
I don't know what you are talking about with all this coded language. What is a "city-smasher".

And the "explanation" are therefore ridiculous. You're still peddling Spacemen and Flying saucers, or the Demonic variation thereof. Reel in your imagination and look at what we can do and not sjat your auperstitious awe leads you to thing is being do.
The point is we cannot do such feats. Thats why explanations are proposing something beyond our known physics and capability. Otherwise show the obvious explanation. All that you have suggested has already been removed as possibile explanations.
Do it this say: Say "How can we have done stuff like this with existin tech, or reasonab;le extenaion there. No indetectable spacemen, no unscripural demons (Scti[ural demons eere notably lacking in magical powers),. just us humans. If you're intellectualy honest you'll see where tht that psth takes you, if you're not, then, you'll keep blathering about Spavemen, Ecil Angels, and Black Magic
Thats exactly what I am doing. Looking at the capabilities of the UAP's to determining their ability is beyond our physics and reality. Therefore whatever the explanation it is going to be something beyond our physics and capabilities. Yet intelliegent to purposely direct such phenomena.

No one is saying its specifically aliens or demons. Only that whatever it is its beyond humans yet has some sort of intelligence. Aliens and demons just happen to fall within that criteria but is not necessarily the case. It could be some intelligent being has cracked the theory of everything.
So you just ruled out stealth aircraft. The air force willl be so sad to lose them.
Stealth aircraft cannot go at 45,000 plus mph or come to an instant standstill and turn at supersonic speeds which would kill any human inside.
As for stuff being "ruled out", as existing (I'm seen some myself) or as being magic? Good, let's rule out magic, It doesn't exist. Physics, however, does.
Show me something that can do what these UAP's can do. Can go 45,000 plus mph and then come to a complete standstill instantly. Do sharp zig zags without bends at supersonic speeds.
Becuuse people are culturally programmed to just to idiotic conclusions like that. Ghosts demons, spacemen, hoodos, ghoulies, ghosties, long leggity beasties. Plus those things are *fun*/ Science is boring and hard to understand. So it's spacemen.
If they are programmed is this not natural then ? Your more or less saying the majority of people for the majority of history are fools and only a small group of enlightened people including yourself know the truth. That seems elitist and claiming to know the truth over .
No, not logically. That's precisely what trhey arew not.. Emotionally, it has to be space drivers and/or boogermen.
This is a misrepresentation of what I said. I never said logically it means they are spacemen or demons. I said because the UAP's feats defy physics and human capability that it logically follows that the explanation will be about what can achieve such feats beyond physics and human capabilities.

Whatever it is it has to logically meet that criteria beyond what humans can do.
Yes. UNIDENTFIED flying objects. Most, if not all of them, are airplencew. Sory, maye, but that's the facts.
All human aircraft have been ruled out simply because they are incapable of achieving such feats.
Except when the "UFO" is actually a KC-135 tanker or, in my case, an A-12 "Oxcart". Went for years now knowing what it was OR HOW IT PLAINLLY DID WHAT i SAW (AND HEARD). Now I do. Pretty amazing.
These are different now. The modern UAP's defy any human craft. So we can rule out all human current tech by the fact they ain't fast enough or able to manouver the same. No human tech has displayed such feats. To say its some secret human project is unreal as its just a claim. .
And believe nothing else. Never let reality interfere with a good story.
I am open to all possibilities. But the way you are arguing you are doing your best to make sure the only explanations fall within the materist worldview or rational and empiriacl explanations. While completely dismissing all else. Which is a belief itself.

Let me ask. Are you open to the possibility that this could be demons or aliens ?.
Sure, just as we have videos pf the Ebterprise moving at warp factor whatever. Let's not be infantile.
Really, Its quite obvious when we look at the videos that this is from Hollywood studios. We can go to the Hollywood studios and find the fake designs and film. But we can't with these UAP's. They are on military radar and cited directed by many pilots.

Well, right before your instrunets, anyway, You ete? Considerably less so. Visual at 45000KMPH? And I'm upir sainted grandmother.
If you listen to what these pilots are saying for example in the above video with the (tic-tac) example on radars.

While we have the radar data these pilots also see the UAP up close enough to describe this as being creamy white in color without any wings or windows and of a metallic material. So it is a real object they are seeing on the radar.
Yep, none of our inventory will go 44KMPH. Then again, neither will anything else. You're back to magic, and there ain't no magic.
Yes neither will anything that humans have made or are capable of. Which logically follows as to what could do such things if not humans. No one is saying its magic. Only that like magic it defies our physics.
They don't need wings. (Factual statement) Figure out why that is nd you'll a you'll becong to see what;s going on.
To turn or go up and down our air craft need wings or propellars as this is using aerodynamics.
Yep. Had to be massless. So what's masless? Hmmm....
I don't know. You tell me what can intelligently move around defying known physics that is massless ?. I mean Dark energy is massless but its everywhere and cannot intelligently move around.

I generally agree with @stevevw, but I think the idea that the UFOs have technology beyond human intelligence is an assumption. They can do things that human machines can’t do,
It seems a reasonable assumption in that the UAP's seem to be able to do stuff that we cannot do with flying craft.
but I don’t have to look farther than my front window to see swifts doing “impossible” things.
Yes I agree, an amazing ability. But this is different. This is Gods creation which is itself supernatural. We may be able to describe how it works but this does not explain the nature of how this happened. In fact humans are trying to mimick Gods creation.

But its different because humans are trying to do this materially through tech. Build artificial copies of nature. They will never be able to do so because there is much about life that cannot be reduced to the material and naturalistic.
I think Christians make a big mistake in thinking that the heavenly realm is merely angels, demons, and God. As I pointed out before and they mentioned in the video, God could have made things that are not mentioned in the Bible. God didn’t hold back in making all sorts of animals on earth, and there is no reason to think He didn’t do the same thing in the heavens.
The bible actually mentions heavenly and spiritual beings. Even coming to earth and mating with humans. Goliath was a remenant of this time.
Some in the photographs might be of these things.
Yes. These phenomena are weird. There not your everyday idea of a UFO. Thats why they are now being called UAP's. They are strange in how they look like wierd creatures or multi pronged stars and orbs.
There was a big fad called “sky fish” that were popular many years ago. It started out innocently enough with animals like bacteria that are translucent flying in the atmosphere and turned into things ridiculous, from the size of birds to gigantic creatures.
Seems a bit like how people see shapes in clouds. Or Christ on a slice of toast lol.
There is also the idea of “the ghost in the machine” where spirits take control of mechanical objects.
I think this is probably the most popular among many in that it is the closest to being a naturalistic explanation in that science and AI have proposed that consciousness can be created in a machine. Because consciousness is just an epiphenomena of the brain.

But its also widely embraces in ideas like there being some sort of 'true self identity' that is real beyond the physical world. Even overriding objective reality.
If the UFOs are alien, it would not make sense that they crash after having the technology to fly across the galaxy. If they are other creatures, the crashes make more sense.
The problem with aliens coming from another galaxy is that even if they travelled at light speed the universe is not old enough for this to happen. Plus it is physically impossible to survive light speed.

Unless they discovered some extradimensional travel that cut all that physical reality out. But then we are back to extra dimensions which is what spirits and demons are about. Once you start adding other dimensions you can't then dismiss some and include others.
My guess is that we are seeing things that we don’t understand that might be creatures that are physical or spiritual or both. They could be demons, and a lot of people assume they are demons, but they might be something else entirely. Until we see more physical evidence studied by scientists, we just don’t know. The UFOs could also be a collection of different things. Limiting the topic to demons and aliens is no different than saying everything we don’t understand are fairies.
It seems generally the possibilities fall into two broad groups. That will be open to possibilities that defy objective reality and those who don't.

I agree generally we don't know what is going on. We can draw some qualification from how they act which may point to something beyond human knowledge and ability. May be a secret group of humans who have gained such knowledge. In Egypt these were called the pharoahs lol.

It may be aliens or demons. I think we should be open to all the above without going overboard. Just watch the space as to what is revealed next. Its very interesting times.
