[@thefateofslate9095]

I was just thinking that. Aerial view my ass

[@indridcold8433]

The military does not want to expose that their quantum spread focus infrared vision can see through walls up to two meters thick. So, this weak animation is what is shown. The infrared shown in the animation was around right after World War II and nobody knew about it. The technology the military has now is incredible but has not been released to the public yet. Until then, the public thinks it is little green men visiting Earth and the governments of the planet allow them to think it. Current military technology will be exposed in about 75 years. By then, the military technology will have warp drive, be able open quantum slip gates, navigate wormholes, and much more.
