"I'm Not Saying It's Aliens..."

[Tuur]

I think we've all seen that particular mem. Anyway, when it comes to high altitude objects, the US military isn't ruling out aliens. Or so they say:

What to know as military downs another high-altitude object, this time at Lake Huron

Sigh. Not quite how Roswell started, but it's close enough.

First contact off to a bad start.

 

[FireDragon76]

Those aren't weather balloons or spy balloons, that's for sure.

The US military tracks thousands of uncorrelated radar targets every year (that means UFO's, BTW). It's just something that isn't widely publicized.

Some of the phenomenon can't even be explained, as there have been instances where previous objects have been able to outmaneuver our most advanced military aircraft, and their tracking systems.

...the high tech space ships are just a distraction. All this time, they are quietly infiltrating our society using balloons

The fallen angels are returning folks. They are not friendly! The governments know what is going on, but to try to prevent panic, they are keeping it under wraps. People's hearts will fail for the fear of looking at these things coming on the Earth.

 

[ozso]

It's no big deal really. They're just carrying pods like the ones from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Sadly, "alien Invasion" actually is on my 2022 BINGO card.

Interesting video that imho is related to this subject.

I'm seeing more chatter in the luna-sphere about aliens.

The people who said that FEMA camps, Jade Helm, COVID, etc. were going to lead to martial law are now positive that [fake?] aliens will lead to the declaration of martial law.

It's also quite possible that our own assumptions that "we have the best military tech" may be a bit of hubris on our part...and other nations may have actually invested in something that can outmaneuver what we've got without highly publicizing it.

The "aliens from space" narratives tend to be non-compelling to me since it always seems based on the almost "sci-fi" kind of premise that all of the hypothetical aliens have modalities that are the same as ours, just more advanced.

When you think about it...In all of the planets and in all of the galaxies, if there was another intelligent lifeform out there that had the ability to reach our planet, what are the odds that they'd have, what's basically, just a slightly beefed up version of our tech? I would think that with nearly infinite numbers of combinations and possibilities, the odds of having that extraordinarily high level of similarity would be slim and none.

The government is preparing, sticking out feelers to take the temperature....

What is touted as coming from without is actually coming from within...

Let's not forget that we can always have Jeff Goldblum write a virus program in a few hours and get Will Smith to fly in to deliver it!

Kyle Kulinski is reporting that stories are being leaked to the press by pilots that the objects were unconventional aircraft, with no visible propulsion system. Reports are confusing.

original source:

On a lighter note... Don't Biden and Trudeau know you have to build a mind shield on your bases, or the aliens will eventually find them? I hope for their sakes they were at least smart enough to scrap the default base as the layout was terrible, with no chokepoints at the hangar to keep the aliens from swarming your base.

No, but there might be attempts to register them to vote.

I'm putting my money on powered, high altitude, long endurance areostats.

China has been playing around with aerostats for military reconnaissance, intelligence gathering and domestic/over the horizon surveillance for some time. Publicly, foreign built and home made systems have been at use in domestic airspace for at least a decade:

China Shows Off Its Growing Drone Fleet

While much of the buzz at the Zhuhai Air Show has been about new manned stealth Jets in China’s arsenal, it has also shed light on how China's unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), aka “drone,” industry is making large strides. China is displaying attack drones, along with stealthy target and scout...

Aerostats have been publicly displayed at the main Chinese airshow at Zhuhai since at least 2014. Chinese engineers broke a number of altitude records with aerostats in 2019, 2021 and 2022.

There have been reports of a Chinese aerostats in and around the South China Sea and Taiwan. The earliest a rapid Google search gives is 2019, with the most recent being sited above the Philippines in late 2022:

The deployment would mark a first in the South China Sea.

Images of an unidentified craft near Subic Bay have sparked speculation it could have been collecting military intelligence.

Im thinking its those aerostats on sale at your local supermarket next to the flowers.

All of this reminds me of the book 1984 Orwell. Has anyone here read that? I read it in college. It has been a while, but I see some parallels.
