General / Off-Topic UFOs are Back?

Been always here, So advanced that they most likely infiltrated humanity. I did a delivery to a secure mansion residence and the person I went to could be a alien as she was socially awkward.
 
Heard some interesting points on this tonight on TV - pointing out that if you stigmatise reporting of strange objects you possibly miss novel aircraft and drones from foreign actors. Which are probably more likely to be hanging around restricted airspace than aliens.
The problem with that hypothesis is that the reds don't already own the solar system with their advance tech. Look at the trumpeting the happens when any country gets something in space. If any of them had Mach 10+ inertia-less craft that could do the things on those videos you think any of them would shut up about it? :p
 

Looks like this has some legs. The US Govt. has officially conceeded that they have always existed, pilots have testified that the objects are seen, filmed, tracked and recorded by eye, radar and infrared everyday.

Congress wants a formal report and threat assessment.

It's going to be a Conspiracy Theory Bonanza.

You can say the same about the various hacker groups run by governments - they exist, they've messed with governments, shut down nuclear sites etc, but you don't see governments admitting to them as they are a strategic advantage. Or aliens :alien:

Either way it's better to know about incidents rather than have pilots keep quiet because they don't want to be laughed at.

How come this isn't getting 24 hour wall to wall media coverage?
I'm er - sick- of the pandemic news, the same old Middle East jazz, and all the rest.

Seriously, UFOs are real! That's not a big deal?
Are they coming from below the ocean? From a secret technologically advanced African State with unusual minerals? From a time portal?

UFOs are probably real, but probably not flying saucers manned by aliens. I, and many other amateur astronomers, have seen things you people wouldn't believe (especially off the shoulder of Orion), but most of them had a perfectly straight forward explanation. Balloons, landing lights, more balloons, ISS, and the occasional balloon.

One didn't make any sense. I was watching the night sky, when I noticed what I thought was a satelite moving across the sky. Then I noticed two more following along in a rather large triangle shape. Now, three satelites moving in such a pattern is strange, but now Elon has whole strings of them, so perfectly explainable.

Next the triangle started rotating, and faded away :oops:

I still can't explain that one, but I'm as certain as gets that it wasn't aliens.

The other thing about this is : once you know something is possible it is often easier to reproduce it - so for example once you know that superconductors exist then you are able to find others.

So if a foreign state did have inertia-less Mach 10 craft then the best way to try and stop others re-inventing it for themselves would be to convince them that it was aliens / delusion. Cunning eh?

I, and many other amateur astronomers,

hmm... slight detour - how do you guys cope with Musk's Starlink?
And i'm thinking he just opened the can worm since other tech giants will be likely to launch their own versions of Starlink rather sooner than later.

(been dabbling meself abit in the field, owning a Celestron C8 and a Chinese 80mm ED tripled, but only visual - so the wandering lights in the sky are not really a problem for me as they are for astro-photographers)
 
Chinese dropped down something on Mars. Something that didnt actually left a crater upon "touchdown", something that is working and it's gathering/sending data.
A feat that only NASA was able to do (until now) and something that ESA spectacularly failed at.
I vaguely remember something about mixing imperial units with metric ones ;) Still, I'm a huge fan of NASA. We all mess up once in a while, and rocket science is rocket science.

Yeah, OT, but: When you image the night sky, you take many separate exposures. Then you align and stack those using software. The software also includes different pixel rejection algorithms, that remove anything that is moving through the field. It's not really an issue. Light pollution is the real gamebreaker, but even that can often be worked around using narrow band filters on nebulae. For galaxies though, darkness is king. Btw. I have a C8 and used to have an 80 mm APO. Both excellent telescopes, though the C8 can be a little temperamental, until you get to know it. These days I mostly use an old navy binocular from WW2 for visual. I love that one.

No, not at all. The level of technology on display is so advanced they could claim the solar system now. There is no competition. We would all be learning ruski.
