The notion that we shouldn’t investigate seems a little like the Allegory of the cave.

[@ImHeadshotSniper]

of course we should investigate anything we're curious about. the only issue i have about this "UFO" idea is that people immediately contribute something that the military doesn't know exactly what it is as "extraterrestrial beings"... of course we shouldn't rule it out, but to even think for a second that ANYTHING you may see is aliens is an INCREDIBLE stretch. there are many potential LOGICAL explanations (not involving Aliens -- See "Lemmino"'s video on the "Extraordinary until proven otherwise") that people throw out BEFORE ALIENS because there isn't enough information about those OTHER theories to totally confirm them. (PRIMARILY BECAUSE THE FOOTAGE TAKEN IS ABSOLUTELY DREADFUL, SIMILAR TO BIGFOOT FOOTAGE.) all i'm saying is that throughout history, there have been many accounts of unexplainable things that happened, but it's interesting how in the age of capturable video and audio, that the ONLY "evidence" for such an idea is evidence similar to bigfoot. it is CERTAINLY an "object" (which doesn't actually leave out the possibility of a lens flare on the automatically rotating/moving camera that all footage was taken from)

Its ALOT like the cave allegory. If non-human intelligence is here, it literally means humans are completely ignorant of the most important thing we should know about.

Ugh, still a terrible quote. The idea that we ever thought the earth was flat is a myth started by Victorian textbooks. Flat earth has pretty much always been a fringe theory. The oldest Globe dates to the 15th Century prior to Columbus and is round. Renaissance maps depicted the Earth as round. Navigating by sun or stars both required an understanding of latitude. The use of sundials from antiquity to the modern era also requires an understanding of latitude to make them function. In the middle ages, the globus cruciger, a sphere with a cross on top was used to represent Christ's dominion over the orb of the world. Atlas is depicted as holding a sphere representing the earth throughout Roman times. Pythagoras not only mathematically proved the earth was round but correctly calculated its circumference around 500 BC. Even in pre-history, ancient structures with astronomical significance such as Stonehenge or Newgrange belie an understanding of astronomy and latitude that would have required the knowledge of a round earth.

[@peterpike]

Other than the fact that hardly anyone believed the Earth was flat, even as far back as 1500 BC. The Greeks calculated the size of the Earth pretty closely based on it being a sphere. The myth that Columbus was trying to prove the world was round was actually an invention of Washington Irvine's book "A History of the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus" in 1828. During Columbus's time, everyone believed the Earth was round. The only real debate was on how large the Earth was. Columbus thought the world was much smaller than it actually was, which is why he thought he had reached Asia when there was an entire continent and the world's largest ocean still between him and Asia.

And this is the kind of thing that they use against us, because, once the answer finally comes, when it's proven beyond all doubt that the answer is something mind-numbingly boring, and not aliens from another world, those scientist end up looking like morons, and then those idiots starts questioning that scientist's legitimate work, and the work of scientist everywhere (because it's human nature to lump things together - _''Well, if this so-called scientist thought it was aliens, ALL scientists must have thought that'')._

We're also encountering quantum mechanics which fully permeates, on a fundamental level, the classical realm, and which is apparently *adeterministic* (as far as we can tell.) We don't know why quantum phenomena consistently want to decohere into observing classical patterns, and we don't know why the classical space isn't more permeated by quantum phenomena than it is, but regardless of these it seems that it should be much harder to be a positivist or a hard determinist today than in the past few centuries when we could, say, convince ourselves that the cosmos was like a great clockwork construction of definite form or dimension or whatever. People will still want really definite answers or have their common sense rebel at the notion that things like spatial orientation/definite location and causality might reach an end to their relevance or necessity in understanding the world, but that's a problem of our expectations or capacities for authenticity in encountering what the world is apparently presenting us with. The desire or pursuit of knowledge shouldn't balk at being presented with something it doesn't immediately recognize or know how to make sense of in a way that's comfortable sitting alongside our other assumptions or preferences.

I’ve seen Thunderf00ts “explanation” & all I have to say is… birds don’t fly in a dead straight line at the exact same height without deviating over hundreds of metres like what we see in the Go Fast video. Also, I’m pretty sure the US weapons targeting systems are designed & intelligent enough to disseminate birds/a bird from other objects.

Sanity is a myth we live in the Insane Asylum of the Universe. ETs are real and they are here. We are our only threat aside from possibly asteroids or comets.

[@annettepora8091]

Birds that fly in a flock/triangular formation also have a lead bird that switches places with another bird during flight. People will not handle the news of alien space craft well. We are too primitive.

It's at a fulcrum to the view of a moving plane. Its motion is so slow that it doesn't matter. It's the fact that it's close to the plane and the plane is moving that makes it appear to move relative to the ground. It's essentially NOT MOVING AT ALL.

[@godsfavoriteant9293]

That you don't understand how camera tracking works is not a fault of Thunderf00t's. I disagree with Phil on a great many things, but I can't disagree with his assessment here. He has certainly applied far more critical thinking to the topic than Fran has. What has Fran offered? Doubts? Sorry, arguments from incredulity are a logical fallacy.

[@landsurfer66]

Fran, I appreciate your candor and insights. Keep speaking your mind! Ignore the comments from those cancel-culture idiots. They're not worth the time.

A friend of ours, who was a fighter pilot in the RAF then a BA pilot for 15 years told us of a encounter he had back in the nineties, flying a passenger jet into New York- about 20 miles out, saw a huge metallic disc flying under them in the opposite direction! Traffic control didn’t have it on radar, but another airline pilot flying out of New York also saw it! He never reported it!

[@wayneoates8842]

@@chrislee6650 very interesting, yes could well have been, only I think it was a couple of thousand feet below them and the other (American Airlines) crew that witnessed it were traveling outbound from NY so would have had a different perspective on it. Either way, and the other crews were baffled by it 😜 who knows?

[@davidwestebbe6250]

What is the other 10%? You can't answer that because you have nothing to go on. You need to apply the null hypothesis. In one formulation, it would say that you don't believe stuff until it has been shown to be real. In this case, you would say that you won't believe in this alien stuff unless and until there is sufficient evidenice. At that point, your confidence level would be 100%. At this point, the only reasonable and honest answer is that we don't know the explanation.

[@DistantTower]

@@patricktaylor4431 being pedantic and literalist with his turn of phrase does not unfortunately, damage his assertion. The rigorous skeptics that have said there is no "there" there now have to at least acknowledge the possibility that this might be something they previously considered paranormal being proven right before their eyes.

[@moo-snuckle]

no doubt. simply look at how they believe that the giza pyramids are taught in schools that they were tombs, despite mountainous evidence to the contrary, yet if you dont think they were built by people who used bronze tools and stacked in a manner that makes no sense, you are fringe or pseudoscience. their inability to assess new ideas as possibilities because they conflict with established science is unfortunate for our future elementary school kids who get taught tons of crap that doesnt line up with the evidence they have .

[@daviddavis6754]

Scientists aren’t evidence , they just require evidence, and eye witness accounts aren’t reliable evidence.

[@MattiasAspelund]

"That's science!" - Exactly this. We should put as much effort into investigating this as we do with space, since no matter what it is it will teach us a lot about a completely new phenomena, here, in our own back yard.

Decades of government debunking and ridicule have created a biased mindset. Deliberately. Plus there are those who have an invested interest in a particular worldview. Anything contrary to that world view creates a knee jerk reaction.
