Ward Carroll seems to be convinced that the answer to the UFO/UAP/Tic-Tac question is #1.
I think I agree with him.  Failed To Load Title If it isn't #1, then it can't be #2 IMO. That leaves...aliens. |

Thread needs a poll.
I vote #3 - The tic-tac object is technology beyond current human capability to create, and was likely a UAV of probably extraterrestrial or extradimensional origin. |

I'll tell you this, if it IS our secret stuff, it's based on principles conventional physics and engineering doesn't understand and I don't know if it isn't scarier to think the government has that kind of shit.
Personally, if you'd asked me a couple years ago, I would have said it was us. Now...I am leaning towards aliens. Not that they're here in person, but that they sent an automated probe that's sitting somewhere in the outer system and the shit we're seeing are just unmanned drones. They don't care if we see them, they don't care about talking to us because they're hundreds of light-years from home or instructions from their makers and they're just carrying out their programming. Send probes in, gather data, transmit it back to the main ship, which then transmits it somewhere out there so they can update the latest encyclopedia. |

One real interesting postulation I saw was that it's ours and it's not really there. It's advanced holography that spoofs multiple spectrums. Imagine something that isn't really there that has a visual and radar signature. That could have all kinds of interesting applications against an adversary.

Yeah, but then there's the guy that had invisible/cloaked agents following him, going through his yard leaving footprints and stuff and he got the invisibility/cloaking inventor to back him up that he was being stalked by invisible/cloaked agents. (It's late and that's all I can remember off the top of my head) ETA:Tom Bauerle had his ex cop buddy case the people casing his house and got the cloaking tech engineer to back him up he was being stalked by agents using the engineer's cloaking tech. |

Considering the wide variety of "craft" shapes, sizes, and behavior, I think it's silly that we try to lump all of it into one category.
"They're all aliens or none of them are" is a ridiculous notion. I think it's a combination of secret projects, possibly adversaries on the simpler non-impressive cases, and trans-dimensional/ET. Anyone in the know is happy to have the first 2 confused with the last. |

No special project is going to put big bright ass lights, that can be seen for many miles, on a secret craft. Then go fly it around urban areas, where millions of people could possibly see them. I don't GAF what country would be the operators, just not going to happen. People try to rationalize what they see, with what they know! Its human nature. |

Send probes in, gather data, transmit it back to the main ship, which then transmits it somewhere out there so they can update the latest encyclopedia. There are multiple points to consider regarding this topic, to have a scientific facts-based analysis requires critical thinking skills and an understanding of what value is. Very few understand the atomic, biological, and societal concept of value, and how to calculate it. The benefit-to-sacrifice ratio that the US possesses in most areas of advanced technology (probably) surpasses near-peer and direct advisories, with a value greater than 2 or 3. The problem that then arises is if this ratio is so great, and the US is so far advanced in physics, why has the US not surpassed adversaries in areas of energy production, food, medical science, space exploration, etc? If the advantage is so great, why not quash China's moon ambitions? Why not show Russia that hypersonic missile development is inconsequential to the US missile defense systems? Why not ignore Saudi Arabia and its oil dominance? Why not create better Anime than Japan? To counter the inaction argument (against adversaries) some academics will say that the US purposely holds back technology until it becomes commercially viable (and believable), and more important patentable. If we go down that path, then it makes sense to promote the UFO phenomenon as a way of keeping potential enemies guessing, but that comes at a cost for future political leaders. If the US does have such advanced technology, but it is suppressing it for perceived military (or monetary) gain, then those making the decisions (to hide the technology behind fake UFO stories) are not acting in the US population's best interest. Basically, the US is so far ahead of everyone in that it is slowly leaking its technological advantages as a way of preparing the global population for its total dominance. Or, we are all going to be probed by ET at some stage in the future |

Is it's US secret stuff, it would have to be developed and evolve in a completely separate ,society". No leaks or talking in families. No mainstream peer reviewed and published research. Even the supporting industrial processes would be separate. You might be able to sub-contract out some things to existing suppliers but that doesn't work if the materials aren't known to exist.
Could there be a group or company doing work at this level that no one knows about? Things being talked about aren't highly evolutionary like SR71 or other classified programs. They are orders of magnitude more advanced and would rewrite known science. Has that ever been done in a closed environment? I have no idea. |

If these are ours, and so many are being seen by pilots, why are we (USA) still building super hornets and F-15EXs? Even an F-35 is pretty mundane if you strip all the sensors and how the data is integrated and displayed to the pilot. Why is our best UAV a slow Predator or Reaper? |

With that said, some sightings involve maneuvers that, in addition to defying what we generally understand to be physically possible, should also tear the craft apart, making me think they aren't ours (and I doubt they're anyone else's). I don't know that I believe they're holograms or sensors being spoofed, so I don't really know where that leaves it. Human error and there was never anything there at all? Aliens? Secret advanced civilizations? Maybe simulation theory has some merit and the UFOs are just glitches from spaghetti code

Not that they're here in person, but that they sent an automated probe that's sitting somewhere in the outer system and the shit we're seeing are just unmanned drones. They don't care if we see them, they don't care about talking to us because they're hundreds of light-years from home or instructions from their makers and they're just carrying out their programming. Send probes in, gather data, transmit it back to the main ship, which then transmits it somewhere out there so they can update the latest encyclopedia. If they got here using physics we don't comprehend, we're basically cattle to them. If it is aliens, it could be what Rik is talking about, only maybe the civilization that made this stuff has already died out and this is just their version of AI tech going through the motions. Imagine a society that was as advanced as we'd be in 1,000 more years, only they were at that point 10,000 years ago. |

There’s people who say the grays may be bio-bots and not naturally reproducing beings. And the ship or base AI - or maybe it’s at the point of actual sentience - controls them

Why do we automatically assume that any aliens that might try to communicate would do so through sound waves? I've seen all sorts of videos and reports of flashing lights, lights changing colors, etc. Maybe the lights themselves are the communication attempts. Maybe they try to make contact through means our senses can't even detect. We always look at this sort of thing through a human lens, but if something develops on an entirely different planet, why would we assume they're anything at all like humans? |
