UFO ping. I suggest skepticism on this particular matter because of an absence of peer-reviewed reports or corroboration by credible institutions, relying instead on unverified claims from Velasquez and social media.

So, it is what it is.

I post it only because it's got a lot of buzz in the media.

I think we’ve heard this story before:

That’s the one I was thinking of.

When I was a kid in the 1970s, I read UFO magazines and books, and saw the blurry pictures and the eye-witness accounts.

Now, everyone carries a high-resolution color camera that can take photos in low light, and we still see the same damn blurry pictures.

Even the UFO people aren’t doing anything new anymore.

And evolution’s missing link has been found...again. There’s a sucker born every minute— every second now with the internet. Hogwash.

Not true. New whistleblowers, new SCIF testimony.

As I said upthread, it may be hogwash. Or it may not be. See tagline.

UFO stories are difficult for many to believe. Now take a story from Newsweak, add to it that a scientist weighs in, and it’s guaranteed to be fake news.

I haven’t seen any to whom I’d give any credence.

One can also keep such an ‘open’ mind that everything inside falls out.

Uh-huh.

I saw all 3 movies:

One, a hoax.

Two, they cut it open, and...

Three, they want it back.

/s

Newsweak wouldn’t even publish a pic of the thing OR any technical details from the x post.

The report belonged on SeeBS.

“A closed mind.” Translation: those who refuse to believe what the left dictates. Should Eve have had a “closed mind?”

I also say most off that newest Webb telescope data is speculation ridden and fuels lots of AI generated imagery

Trust the science.
