      that is the thing though, are aliens just like buzzing people for kicks? seems just as implausible as some secret government thing

      Insofar as it’s possible that they’re truly extraterrestrial, I think unmanned (for lack of a better word) probes are more likely than actual spacecraft.

      I think ET is incredibly unlikely but if we posit that, whatever AI is driving these probes could be programmed to test stage of tech development, in which case hassling pilots makes sense.

      you guys should really ask yourselves why so many of these reports come from US Navy pilots, all flying one particular type of aircraft...

      No, the New Yorker report makes clear pilots all over the world have had similar sightings. Not a USA only thing at all.

      And in the US case at least, it’s almost all navy pilots.

      Have any of you had a chance to check out Mick West's videos? I've only gone through a couple so far, but he makes reasonable cases for terrestrial, contemporary technology.https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-4ZqTjKmhn5Qr0tCHkCVnqTx_c0P3O2t …

      I've seen those and they seem reasonable but the military is pretty explicitly denying these explanations. If the story is the military is lying like hell, that's also big.

          Isn't the running theory, as far as I understand it, that it's an adversarial nation that's been running what would be an incredibly successful intelligence gathering operation? Seems like exactly the thing the US military would want to obfuscate to me

          Those videos I linked lean more on issues of perspective and inherent flaws in the cameras/lenses. But yeah, I agree, the military isn't a trustworthy source here - a lot of this alien stuff got its start with them fanning the flames of the "Roswell incident"

          it's almost surely the mil lying as part of some psyop on the US pop. I mean: they released it through the history channel for pete's sake. They practically stamped CIA PROPAGANDA across those videos in big red letters.
