did you know a boat floats ? water displacement huh

A boat floats due to Archimedes Principle.....Specifically, an object in water is buoyed upwards by the weight of the water it displaces. A brick doesn't float because its weight is greater than the weight of the water it displaces.

A balloon doesn't float due to the compressed air weighing more than the air it displaces...........Helium balloons float because helium weighs less than oxygen

Anything floating in air must weigh less than the air it displaces or rely on mechanical devices to keep it in the air......

I don't doubt these sightings but prefer to look at them as secret military aircraft. There is no reason for extraterrestrial spacecraft to have flashing lights unless they post a message such as "Vote for Kucinich"........

Some reported seeing fighter jets chasing it.

We witnessed the same thing in the mountains of Colorado in 1997.

Whatever they were chasing was unlike anything we've ever seen before or since.

These are us traveling back in time from somewhere in the future?

If the future already exists then that just makes us reruns. I'd rather be visited from visitors of the future than deleted like an old Gilligan's Island episode that was TiVo'd..........

they have a triangle with fans at the corners and middle

then a steel type grate that is “under” the fans covering the exact shape of the triangle. In this grate are a zillion holes and the grates edges are turned up,

the use of motors and then forcing addition air thru the holes is like displacement and the weight of the object
is controlled........

There is a story under all the carnage here. I think it was a UFO story, but a digital autopsy will be needed. :o)

Don't you know what happens to guys who shoot at UFOs?

OK, wait, I just figured it out. They are time travelers/tourists come to view we Earthlings from 2008. But they can’t interact with us because of course, because otherwise they would foul the space/time continuum. Or something like that.
Case solved!

Checkout WIGs - they travel very fast, at low altitudes and silently:

Wing In Ground Effect vehicles.

[NormsRevenge]

low altitudes is right... Thanks!

Be afraid; be very afraid.

I beat you by about thirty years. It was while camping on the upper Merced River, in Yosemite. Directly overhead, straight up, is where the man action happened, but they were about 15-20 degrees from overhead when I first noticed them, moving east.

Couldn't really see any structure, but it was considerably larger than the pursuing plane. It was making lazy shallow 'S' turns ahead of the pursuer, while maintaining a consistent distance ahead.

They were high, but not so high that I couldn't see a very small, fast moving 'light' leave the jet toward the object, get about half way to it, then flare & disappear. That was when the weaving stopped, and the speed kicked in.

What was really telling was when it instantly quit weaving, and abruptly (as in suddenly 2-3X previous speed) accelerated, then made a nearly instant 90 degree turn. The jet, not only had to swing a wide radius turn, it was just suddenly left in the dust.

The jet hadn't finished turning, before that sucker was fading from sight half way to the northern horizon.

UFO ping.

What’s the frequency, Kenneth?

[AzNASCARfan]

Or shoot back...

[LibWhacker]

Did they see the hydrogen bomb too?

[Las Vegas Dave]

Pinging the list.
