Interesting about-face by the government, I think they realized that they got too patently ridiculous with their UFO claims, which started as a disinformation campaign because a PA officer (who is working at Starbucks now) accidentally released classified video. People that know something about optics were able to quickly figure out that the objects in the FLIR videos weren't going hypersonic or even jet fighter speeds. It also takes advantage of the fact that most people have never seen F-18s and other conventional aircraft in IR. The videos were showing nothing special but that didn't stop the government from making grandiose claims.

All the video really accomplished was showcasing the poor radio-discipline that Navy pilots were showing during deployment, I'm sure that's been corrected.

Not buying it. Those pilots filmed a giant tic-tac submerged coming out of the ocean. Then it shot up to 80 thousand ft in seconds. The UFOs or UAPs are real. There’s no way the chinks have that kind of technology.

Chinese drones are the updated term for ‘swamp gas’...

So Travis Walton was abducted by Chinese little green men flying a drone on 11-5-1975 in Arizona.

So, if they’re enemy aircraft it must be ok to use them for target practice with shotguns, right?

They didn’t say EVERYTHING was a Chinese video. Where’s the video of the submerged tic-tac coming out of the ocean? I missed that one.

Here’s one thing I want to know: on these FLIR videos, how does an object accelerate to hypersonic+ speeds without generating heat? That’s not just an aircraft/spacecraft innovation, the object somehow doesn’t compress or heat air when it radically accelerates, meaning that it somehow suspends the laws of fluid dynamics and aerodynamics. I’d like to hear how they’re pulling that off. I know the thought of this stuff being real is something that really itches a person’s fantasy-life right where it itches, I really like the X-Files, too, but use your head.

Whoops, I meant: “They didn’t say EVERYTHING was a Chinese drone or other object.”

US Intelligence agencies... I trust them to lie to Americans and spy on Americans. DoD is now compromised too.

This is not an official government statement, these are guys going to the media on the sly because they’re sick of the BS. Take a look Thunderf00t’s videos on YouTube on the subject, I find him and and these govt.-officials-gone-rogue a hell of a lot more credible than the official press-releases.

When you’re trying to make a point, citing garbage doesn’t help you at all. I wouldn’t trust this clown’s advice on a good restaurant in the area.
