UFO's- Please help me process

It seems feasible that this technology could be used to fake just such a UFO or UAP sighting… but then, the earliest of these videos was produced in 2004 (or even before that), which would suggest far more advanced laser systems than the United States currently maintains were already in use some 17 years ago.
 
Just addressing the question. lol

The closest I got to countering a counter argument:

This is right before he buzzed off

And what did you have to contribute? Did your expectations alone allow your participation to amount to anything?

re: McMinnville photos
I only read the Wikipedia entry yesterday, but I saw that it referenced the report linked here in post #1148.
So I just read this opening summary of said PDF:
"This document is made up of two parts:
 The initial study « Back to McMinnville pictures », published on the ipaco.fr
website in April 2013.
 A complementary study « Evidence of a suspension thread», added in June
2013.
The 1st part shows how, using adapted interactive tools, one may prove that the explanation of a model hanging from a thread is by far the most probable one, in the absence of irrefutable proof. This study, however, did not uncover the presence of a thread in the pictures.
The 2nd part, written up after having integrated a specific and original detection tool into the IPACO software, uncovered the presence of a suspension thread in both pictures, which should put an end to the study of this case file."
I suppose I should read the rest for completeness' sake, but I'm struck wondering why a 2020 UFO film would leave out pertinent data from seven years previous. I won't call it sloppy research, but it is certainly inadequate.

addendum: I wish to add that the photos look like a 1950s paradigm of a "flying saucer," and while circumstantial and viewed from a 21st century context, it is "fishy."

Checking at random times only because discussion is so BORING and MERITLESS, I am talking True believers, of course, intellectual level so abismally low, but the main point is : still only so much hot air, ZERO proof.

That has been the constant for the last 1200 posts, will continue to be so for the next 1200 .
Or 10000.
Or 1000000

Guess why 😉
 
🙄 I'm asking for nth time, proof of what claim?

Don’t bother. There is no point. He’s not even following the discussion. He said...

“Checking at random times only because discussion is so BORING and MERITLESS, I am talking True believers, of course, intellectual level so abismally low, but the main point is : still only so much hot air, ZERO proof.”

You can’t convince the inquisitor of anything that he doesn’t want to believe. Also, what’s with his nasty tone and insults? No manners.

Ok, let´s see EXACTLY how this thread started, and the quick division in 2 teams, straight from the very first page.
All others piggybacked on one or the other side.
EVERYBODY.

Team 1: the believers, all faith and no proof.
They call proof fuzzy meaningless images, vague speculation about "what Government is hiding", low quality armchair "Philosophy", conspiracy theory, use ad hominem attacks, logic fallacy "you can´t prove something does not exist", and similar crap, all hot air and no substance.
NOT-A SINGLE-PIECE-OF-EVIDENCE

Team 2: the simplistic - realistic: "just show me proof and we are talking".

From the very first page:

It seems they are here which is crazy weird, but what's equally weird is how the public is dealing with it... It is hardly being discussed.
So the thread is about "they" , period.
Claiming "they are here", period.

Believer Team members are now trying desperately to tame down the gross claim (which is untenable) into a vague "object" about which "I don´t claim they are UFOs/alien craft" (really??? 😛 c´mon c´mon naughty boy, what are you doing here then?)
IF you wanted to talk about something else, create another thread; THIS one is about "they". Do not try to snake out.

Very first answer (post#2)

Doug, they are not here, really, and Elvis is not amongst them. If you are really asking for help to process this then my advice is to focus on eating healthy, exercise, sleep well, give time to your family and friends and support your neighbours - these are all going to be more important to you, your happiness & mental well-being than any of this BS about UFO’s

So teams and goalposts are clearly marked, from the beginning.
You clearly adhere to the first one, arguing "it was not me who said they are green Martians" or some equivalent disclaimer is irrelevant detail , you are in the "UFOs are real" Team and none other.
Trying to downgrade subjects fom UFOs to UAPs or any other letter salad is not enough, a weak effort to get off the hook you needlessly bit into.

The game was already defined from the very first two posts, just for sake of completeness and to explain the 1200 😱 following posts:

Your response is exactly what I am talking about. Complete denial.
Worthless projected "psychological" answer trying to write "something" without offering ANY proof.

ogie said:
I don't pretend to understand. I am completely confused(then why are you answering/arguing?) in the processing of the info coming out. Do I believe in UFO's? I would say my opinion is fluid. (you avoid stating anything in firm, knowing it is shaky and will be rebated) Visual and video isn't enough empirical evidence for me quite yet. (yur accolytes find them quite acceptable, go figure) Am I worried with anxiety?... no.
Just the second answer and he´s starting to tone down.
Some of his Accolytes aren´t that smart. 🙄

"the former director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, said Saturday (March 20) that the sightings are "difficult to explain."
Amen Brother.
What does not stop Believers to ramble about Philosophy.

ogie said:
OK.. Let me start here. How do you explain the preponderance of information being released by the military?
Explanation or not, that would talk only about Planet Earth - USA - Militaryopinion, not supposed UFOs-Aliens themselves, which are the subject of this thread (check initial post).

Should I analyze the following 1200 posts?
Why should do that BORING task, while everything was clearly set up from the beginning?

If it were intelectually challenging, maybe, but with the low low quality of UFO arguments offered, what for?

This is a conversation. You can jump in and out without taking part fully, but doing so is rude. I am having multiple conversations with many different people, about a topic of mutual interest. You see it as two opposing teams fighting each other, and you really, really want to win. That’s your problem. Get with the program, this is should be a discussion, not a fight. Also, you need to stop being rude and insulting in your responses because you influence others to respond in kind and be as rude as you are. Raise your conversational bar. It’s very low at the moment.

My guess is that conversing in this way has been entertainment for him. If we were successful in influencing him to take a more positive tone there might be negative repercussions. I'd hate to see anyone sublimating their most enjoyable social outlet only to end up sitting on their porch all day and yelling at the neighbor kids to get off his lawn. (I kid, I kid)

Is there a free flow of information on topics that pertain to national security? Let me answer the question for you. No. Who knows why or why not an alien would or wouldn’t do something? Anthropomorphizing is not helpful.

You are still just making unwarranted assumptions - like assuming an alien would do something only security forces could spot, badly. No anthropomorphizing in suggesting that is flawed.
 
So until new information appears I will practice my Vulcan greeting, its damn hard to get theese stiff fingers correct, I see Obama got it right, he's ready for close encounter

Yup, we are the the mercy of the DoD. And I agree this thread has run its course until we get more data from the DoD, and as I said earlier, it doesn't look like the DoD will release thing soon if at all.

What do they afraid of? The human race can't handle the truth? We have survived thousands of years. This little thing is just tiny peanut.

Warp drive discussion anyone?
