Jun 20, 2021 at 10:26 comment added nick012000 @Klaws "Neither are alien spaceships detected by RADAR." They are, actually. US Navy accounts clearly describe the use of radar to detect and track UAPs - and there's at least one video of them doing so that's been leaked to the public. "The first stealth aircraft were developed in WW2. I guess the aliens can do better than this!" shrugs Maybe it'd interfere with the systems they use to fly? The descriptions of them tend to involve silvery metal skins rather than the matte black used by modern stealth aircraft. Alternately, their active stealth tech might be better when the turn it on.

I guess the aliens can do better than this! -- The laser projection was just an example for a "government proven" incident. Yes, "Any prosaic or mundane explanation you can think of, they've already ruled out", but it was reported as an "UFO incident" in the media. -- We are actually having a lot of UFO sightings here. A witness I've met said that the government is testing UAVs at the nearby government facility. The government denies this and calls these things "UFOs of unknown origin"
Jun 20, 2021 at 10:10 comment added nick012000 @Klaws A laser projected onto a cloud won't be detected by an aircraft carrier's radar or the infrared modes of a fighter plane's FLIR cameras. Like 90-95% of these sightings can be identified, but a substantial portion can't be - and the US government is officially acknowledging that in an attempt at destigmatizing reporting them, for national security reasons. Any prosaic or mundane explanation you can think of, they've already ruled out.
Jun 20, 2021 at 9:44 comment added Klaws @nick012000 One such case was a laser projection on a cloud layer, as part of a promotional event, planned and exemte by intra-dimensional, non-aquatic, terrestrial humans. A witness (a policeman, actually, which has been trained to be a reliable witness!) even claimed to have seen "aliens" waving at him. Human perception is imperfect. -- And of course does the government have the policeman's statement on record. Whether this statement actually proves anything is left open for debate.
Jun 20, 2021 at 8:46 comment added Klaws Birds can do a lot of amazing things. During development of a high-speed train, they also wanted to test how well it fares against bird-strike, so they asked someone from the aircraft industry how to do this. Turns out the aircraft industry uses a kind of gun to propel chicken at the aircraft (the chicken are sourced from the local supermarket's frozen food department). The train builders were surprised that the chicken did not just go though the windshield but also shattered the wall behind it. Turned out that you need to let the deep frozen chicken thaw before use.

Jun 18, 2021 at 10:55 comment added Graham @nick012000 Source required for the US government announcement that flying objects of unknown origin with exotic properties beyond current physics genuinely exist.
Jun 18, 2021 at 0:47 comment added nick012000 @MacGuffin Birds don't go hypersonic and pull off 6000g maneuvers, which are both also things that the US government apparently has evidence of UAPs performing. Their origin might or might not be extraterrestrial (it's possible that they're extradimensional, from an unknown aquatic civilization, and/or time travellers), but they're definitely real, not errors, and not produced by (known) human civilizations.
Jun 18, 2021 at 0:44 comment added MacGuffin Of course UAPs and UFOs are real. People report stuff they can't identify in the air all the time. That does not mean extraterrestrial intelligent life is involved. We know of earthly identifiable flying objects that can fly into the water and back out without loss of capability. We call them "birds". We can build missiles that fly from water into air, or from air into water, and still function. Maybe not one doing both. No trans-medium anything required for humans to survive if g-forces kept below 10g. Maybe a bit more with training, top notch harness, and not doing it too often.
