[@RealBasicEnglish]

Thank you for always sharing such great videos. The story of mystery flying objects was so interesting that I lost track of time. Are we alone in the universe?

[@voltydequa845]

... and track of time, and evidence - that here we had just a pretty picture postcard coupled with audio. Alone? - Seen that "Man is the measure of all things," (Protagoras, ancient terrestrial), and seen that you saw a non-existent video here, you can feel them regardless of their existence.

[@voltydequa845]

Back to you, since you seem to be acquainted with English and learning in general. Would you be so kind to tell me what could be the meaning of "micro-offline clickbaiting" ? Consider that, since I am acquainted with IT and enough of Psycho cognition phenomena , I know the meanings of the individual terms, but I can't succeed in finding whatever context when I try to combine those meanings. Thanks!😇

What are Tic Tac videos?

[@pinkzia]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@najatarabia741]

I believe the object the pilot caught was similar in shape to Tic Tac which are small hard mint breath refreshment, just google Tic Tac you will see them look like small pills . They labelled the unidentified object Tic Tac as a result. So the video is named after the label given to the object because of its shape

[@pinkzia]

@@najatarabia741 I thought they meant to say Tik Tok.

[@bulutsarak8341]

footage was taken a photo or video by navy pilots in 2004

[@najatarabia741]

@@pinkzia no, it is Tic Tac . See the transcript below the video

[@user-su9op1eg6m]

its very tough to see wheather fake or not in tec era

[@johnibat]

Thanks BBC Learning English... 🙏 Just for everyone to know, everyone on this planet came from other places in the universe ... In addition, everyone on this planet has extraterrestrial DNA in our primitive body ... We think we are human having an energy body, but we are beings with an energy body Using an Avatar body here on Earth to evolve into conscience ... There are several races taking care of everyone here on Earth .. For this reason, we always have reports of UAP sightings.

[@irenefang246]

Thanks, BBC My summary while listening UAPs stands for unidentified anomalous phenomena, the term that many scientists now use to describe mysterious things not from this world. In 2004, navy pilots recorded a mysterious oval object flying at 24,000 meters on their fighter jet cameras on a training flight. The footage is known as the "tic tac" video and they have had millions of views on KZbin. Now these videos are being reviewed by the U.S. Congress to try to understand what these objects were. According to Adam Frank, a professor of astrophysics, he doesn't think that the pilots are lying since he thinks they are being honest and have a lot of integrity about what they say they're seeing. They're not saying they're aliens but they behave in ways that no jets could behave. It's necessary to have some scientific study and get a better handle on it. Moreover, at the NASA panel, one of the scientists showed a very simple analysis of the video that shows the objects traveling at a seemingly high speed over the ocean. What the NASA scientists showed was that with a simple explanation it was moving at forty miles an hour so certainly nothing very extraterrestrial about that.

[@user-cc2ux9ew1r]

They were spotted in Morocco on many occasions.

[@bbclearningenglish]

Interesting! A little English tip: we usually say 'on' many occasions, not 'in'. Thanks for your comment!

[@user-cc2ux9ew1r]

Many THANKS

[@zeinabhassan4104]

Thanks for the video 😊

[@ilyinkonstantin]

Some pilots prefer not to speak about it. They may be accused of mad. These things exist in our world..

[@victorhernandezbonilla8080]

Great programme! Would aliens speak English easily? Who knows...😂

[@bbclearningenglish]

They will if they subscribe to our KZbin channel😀

[@voltydequa845]

... if humans can learn English thanks to this channel, the superior aliens won't waste their light-years time ignoring it. The English certainly yes, but imho won't go easily with the Commentish.

[@user-zb3dh9se2r]

Aliens, welcome. Maybe you will put things in order, we can't...😊

[@bodrulhasan_bijoy]

I believe that if there are any aliens in the universe, their intelligence may not surpass that of humans. Humans have the ability to control various aspects.

[@abdi6057]

(A) U.S.A.

[@zeinabhassan4104]

😊

[@getpaceai]

Who else thinks aliens know English I bet they learned English from watching KZbin... just like us

[@BriantheBrick]

UAPs might pilot flying saucers across the sky, like when American fighter jet pilots saw mysterious disc-shaped objects on a training flight. Even though the pilots have integrity, what they saw is only based on personal testimony. Scientists have done plenty of research to know if these claims are genuine and get a better handle on the situation. The results are that the flying saucers are not very extra-terrestrial because they were moving quite slowly, at 40 miles an hour.

[@kelebek_misali.]

Is this a summary?

[@user-cz6fw7kr4n]

are we alone in the world? we are not. i guess there are so many aliens, but humanity cannot connect with them because we just do not have any cool technologies. but i hope we will connect with aliens in the future, i think it is an important part of our human progress! of course, there is can be some disadvantages, but let's be positive :)
