      The problem with this conversation is that saying “UFOs are real” is obviously true if taken literally, but a good chunk of people think it means “aliens are real.” Meanwhile, believers in aliens also express that belief by saying “UFOs are real.”https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1394764297880879109 …

      I swear I have not fully devoted the necessary attention and cognitive energy to this topic but my peripheral sense is that UFO's are clearly real? And have been hanging around our airspace for a while?

      As I keep saying, we can't rule out time travellers, beings from other dimensions, or hidden civilizations that developed in parallel with humanity. Also, maybe optical illusions.

      The photos and videos rule out optical illusions, no?

      The deniers like West still say the videos are optical illusions. I don't think the military agrees.

          optical illusion would suggest human perception whereas may people talk about the photographic & video evidence has having (or they cannot be sure they are not having) photographic or digital artifactshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_artifact …

          It's more than purely an *optical* illusion if they were able to track these things with radar and infrared. It'd have to be a broad EM spectrum illusion.pic.twitter.com/kkKZNwcGku

          West also hand waves away all eyewitness testimony as well. Which yes, eyewitness testimony is not the most reliable but it’s irresponsible to wave it all away as irrelevant.

          The "pyramid" and "submerging sphere" videos look pretty plainly like airplanes. The pyramid follows an air route at airplane speed, and blinks at the same intervals as aircraft navigation lights. And the stars in the background are the same triangle shape due to bokeh

          And if you go frame-by-frame and correct for the wobbly camera, the "sphere" looks like a round infrared glare, as a plane would produce, moving at steady speed, that disappears (shrinking, as an IR glare would) when it goes over the horizon.
