Look, I’ve been pretty clear from the start that I’m not a UFO guy, I don’t think that these are aliens, the odds are just too goddamn remote, but the fact is that it’s something, and whatever it is is worth investigating.
Optical illusions don’t just show up on radar, IR camera, visual light camera, and the human eye all at once.
Investigating the unknown is how we advance human science, and I believe that this is worth investigating. If it turns out to be nothing, then there’s no great loss, but even something not-at-all obscure like ball lightning, which despite being known about for CENTURIES, is still not fully understood, or even well documented.
My potato quality F-35 picture is from only a couple hundred feet with the planes are on approach for landing. My house shakes when they go overhead. By contrast the tictac video we have was filmed at something like five miles distance. Even advanced military cameras don’t get much resolution at that range, unless we’re talking about the ones on a Keyhole satellite or something, and those aren’t small enough to mount on a fighter jet. You really think some 2004 iphone is going to even see it at all, nevermind that flying a fighter plane doesn’t leave much time for in-flight photography, and that carrying a camera into the plane’s cockpit is an espionage violation.
LIke that’s a big part of what these hearings were about before Grusch derailed things with his XCOM “downed alien craft and corpses” nonsense. The two professional pilots were talking about having some official mechanism for collating the data all in one place so it can be looked at seriously and scientifically. We just channel the energy of the crazy UFO nutters to actually accomplish some real science here.
