So UFOs aren't a theory anymore - but we still don't know what they are

    Getting off topic here lads....

    Cool the jets a little.

    The Tic Tac objects, what ever they are... Are quite fascinating. Hard to imagine what they could actually be? And what their purpose is?

    I'm a big believer in electrical phenomena and ball lightening. I don't think we have investigated it half enough, and may be the source of a lot of unexplained bright light events.

    But the Tic Tac is something else.. The object seems to be navigating? If it is navigating, then what is its purpose? Is the blurry appearance at times due to the object vibrating?? Is the objects speed in the atmosphere causing the visual distortion?

    Is the object being piloted, operated remotely or none of the above?

    What is the reason for entering the water from time to time? Is there a reason to enter the water at that exact location, or is it just random?

    How does it (do they), not bounce off the Empire State Building in New York? Appear above a capacity Wembley Stadium? Land or park up on the White House Lawn?

    Are they electrical sprites following an unseen weather corridor?

    Electrical warm air meeting cold air natural reaction??

    I haven't a bull's notion what they are.. I'd like to see a scientific study done on them though.

    The interview was very good. The pilot who captured the UFO on one of the released videos., the same incident as Fravor. A pilot pursued the object from a high altitude on a later date. Apparently the situation lasted for days, since Fravor had his experience, then this pilot later during the same navy exercise.  

    The fact that we received a cockpit video of the encounter lends credence to the fravor narrative.  Skip to 4 minutes to listen.

    You countered nothing and answered nothing. You're now claiming to have done both, Cheerful, as if you're in some position to take the moral high ground. You've posted replies but haven't actually answered the questions. I can repost them, if you can't figure them out?

    And yes, I am harping on about your use of the word craft because they're not craft, now are they? They're unknown objects but you're calling them spaceships straight off the bat. You're the one calling them that and nobody else.

    And no, using "vehicles" is equally as untrue, so you can't use that terminology either. It's equally as valid to call them bumblebees or bats.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Cheerful S


    It is not definite that there are spacecraft; instead, it is a theory based on what the observables and data indicate. You do have a problem with people speculating about the nature of the object Fravor saw, and I do not, either do many people who are interested in the topic. Don't seem to get it

     In a typical fashion, you have not expressed any opinion regarding what fravor observed. Please let us know your thoughts. Please don't be shy.



  • Registered Users Posts: 187 ✭✭gladvimpaker


    I put that user in ignore because it's obvious they're off on tangents and I won't be distracted by someone trying to stir thing's up. Let them rant away.

    You're entitled to your opinion, whatever that may be.

    Just because we're having a discussion they're trying to derail it, for what reason I don't know. Maybe it's personal.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,407 ✭✭✭✭King Mob


    Lol OK then. No issue with they ol' holocaust denial.

    Nothing personal about it. Just pointing out the hypocrisy that seems to be inherent in conspiracy beliefs around here.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Cheerful S


    He is not receiving the attention he requires. No one is going to tolerate his childish manner of posting and hurling insults. It is absurd that he quotes other people's posts and has not grasped that we have had enough of his behavior. I would respond differently if he had different mannerisms and attitudes, but I will not, so he should not waste his time. There are other debunkers who are insulting as well, though they are not as obnoxious, so I reply to them as well. Some are borderline, though, so I may ignore them in the future,. I am a patient individual and am willing to tolerate a great deal, however it is not worth my time to converse with someone who believes he is right all the time and you are wrong about everything.



  • Registered Users Posts: 187 ✭✭gladvimpaker


    Well I wouldn't sit down and have a discussion with someone who's overtly oppositional, constantly interrupting conversations and insulting people. It's not tolerated in religious or political forums. The ignore button has its uses.

    I'd say it's just probably something impulsive and they can't help being repeating themselves and they're on the ignore so I don't read their post's.

    I just find these things and the paranormal stuff intriguing. Im in the grey area with it. I don't see anything wrong with your post's, they're quite clear and you're not putting anyone in danger or insulting anyone.

    Just chatting about different perspectives.

    When someone has to get personal they've lost the plot.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Cheerful S


    I am not always accurate and I lack some knowledge about certain sciences and other things as well as some language skills. As a result, I do make mistakes as I proceed. There is a problem with the debunkers on this site - they do not really take the time to discuss details with you. Look at the 9/11 thread. There is not a single post disputing my claim that there is no freefall in the NIST collapse model. What are these posts telling us about debunkers? There should be no problem in writing a reply refuting everything I said about freefall here. Freefall is one of the main arguments for controlled demolition, but not a single debunker has demonstrated it in the NIST model for all these years!!!!!

    If you suggest that aliens might be operating these objects in the sky, people will go off in a huff indicating that UFOs are neither vehicles nor craft. The deniers are a strange lot. Though I rarely insult, I sometimes get passive-aggressive with the tone of my replies, and trying to tone that back.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,407 ✭✭✭✭King Mob


    Don't see anything wrong with the big holocaust denial rant at all?


    Thanks for proving my point.


    Your and cheerfuls last few posts are just dripping with hypocrisy.

    Given that they are hypothetical you can't really know their motivations in which case they may have no desire to remain hidden, in which case perhaps we would have an idea they were observing us.

    How can you speak with such authority? They "certainly wouldn't" be doing x, y, z? How can you know that?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,407 ✭✭✭✭King Mob


    But if they have no desire to hide from us, why aren't there better pictures? If they didn't hide themselves, then surely there would be tons of sightings all with tons of clear evidence?

    Additionally, if they don't care about whether they are seen or not, what are they doing? If they don't care about us, then there's very little on Earth that's worth the effort and energy expenditure of coming here.


    No one is claiming to be an authority. But if you can't provide an explanation for this, then it is reasonable to say that the wouldn't do something that doesn't make sense.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,717 ✭✭✭YFlyer


    The title gives the answer. UFOs.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,945 ✭✭✭growleaves


    It isn't reasonable to work from a process of elimination as such.

    It doesn't make sense *to us* in our state of ignorance.

    They are literally alien beings in this scenario. We don't know who we're dealing with, their motivations and the wider context in which they're acting.

    So there could be some surprising (to us) and as yet unknowable reason.



  • Registered Users Posts: 187 ✭✭gladvimpaker


    Well suggesting anything around some debunkers will only draw in more debunking they're programmed to be uncreative and are quite repetitive and unable to think for themselves or exchange ideas. They'll say the same about the people they're debating.

    You'll outline your side of the argument and they'll still say you haven't answered their question. And they'll demand you answer the way they want it. But leave them off, yer man has been put on ignore and it'll stay that way. He's probably bouncing up and down now because he's not getting what he wants. Bringing up other threads etc and trying to pit me into making a judgment on you on behalf of your ideas outside of the subject matter.

    There's definitely a want there, and he can waffle away until next Wednesday if he likes but I'm not engaging with him.

    He seems to be in denial :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,407 ✭✭✭✭King Mob


    Ok. So they don't care if they're seen or not, but only appear in places where only a very few will see them. That's not just nonsensical, it's inherently contradictory.

    Likewise, it's contradictory to claim that these aliens need to land or Earth while at the same time have infinite capabilities.


    It's an assumption that we are dealing with a "who". A very very flimsy assumption.

    None of the behaviours make any sense for intelligent beings and require believers to fall back to the argument of "of course it doesn't make sense, aliens don't make sense."

    However the behaviours are consistent with natural phenomenon or misidentification by people in edge cases.

    We can point to countless cases of those to back up this argument.

    What cases of aliens can you point to back up the idea that their nonsensical behaviour is consistent with aliens?



  • Registered Users Posts: 936 ✭✭✭flanna01



    Fork lightening for instance...

    It's starting point to it's 'ending' point takes a split second. (granted, there would be numerous branched in one strike).

    But..

    The beginning of the strike (the original flash point), fizzles out as the branches of lightening shoot across the sky.

    The lightening strike(s), have a jagged, zig zag pathway from start to finish.. Why not straight lines? Why not just one lightening explosion and be done with it? What makes the lightening tentacles twist, turn and stretch for miles as they die out?

    The Tic Tac jumping around could be seen as similar? Darting off in different directions, making impossible turns (impossible to us), maybe not even aware of us, as it's nothing more than a natural unexplained weather phenomena?

    What about electrical activity being driven by a magnetic force above in the skies?

    Did one theory of the Bermuda Triangle, not suggest that a magnetic force sent the cockpit dials into disarray, sending the pilots off on a different flight path, and ultimately to their doom?

    Or the science backed evidence that there is some sort of weird goings on above Skinwalker Ranch. Maybe only weird because we don't understand it yet?

    Weather fronts and jet streams follow a trajectory (most of the time), like an unseen force pushing forward. What if there was a trajectory that carried electrically charged particles at a super speed? A trajectory that changed at random and was totally sporadic?

    We don't know everything..

    Like some parts of the Indian Ocean man has never seen, I'm sure likewise can be said for the heavens too?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Cheerful S


    in comparison to Metabunk and International Skeptics, this site has a less developed debunking section, but it is still possible to find some interesting conversations and debates regarding 9/11 on International skeptics. This debate was excellent was between the resident 9/11 debunker on international skeptics person named Oystein and 9/11 believer named Jay Howard. 

    http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=289588

    An exchange of opinions was constructive regarding the alleged red/gray chips found in the towers to be nano-thermite. Here is an indication of how debates can be productive. Evidently, I think Jay Howard won the debate based on what he had to say, however, Oystein did have a lot of back-and-forth with Jay and it was a very civil debate. There is sadly little debate in this section, which is a great pity. There is, however, every now and then some good back and forth between posters, but the majority of debunkers often run away from answering you anyway. 

    Anyway, I have no problem with the other user, but in person, I might get along with him, but behind the computer, his disdain for conspiracy theories and insults does not make me wish to speak with him. 

    That is just a way for them to discredit you. Do not fall for that trap. My opinions are mine alone. No one was required to share my views. Shifty should be commended at least for having a post that was more than a few lines long and offering thoughts on the topic. He has views and I have mine. Trying to figure out what he believes Fravor saw has not occurred yet. I hope he will take the time to investigate this, we will proceed accordingly. Does listening to Fravor online and seeing what he says make sense?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Cheerful S


    Observations of UFOs over large urban areas are rare. The only two instances that come to mind are the Pheonix lights and Reports of UFOs from the Hudson Valley. These objects do not seek publicity or wish to be observed by more people. Most cases appear to occur around nuclear sites, military bases, and remote villages. Therefore, UFOs would be interested in human military capabilities as well as any activities taking place in these small remote communities; as a result, it appears that they are not very interested in notifying us on a broad scale of their presence. There was a fravor sighting somewhere off the west coast, far from land too..

    He's quite honest with his observations.

    And people are listening to him, whether they believe him or not they're still not undermining him.

    The debunkers here are just interested in interrupting conversations. I'd say there's a lot of good information out there about these crafts, weather phenomenon whatever they are.

    I'm heading back some evening to the bogs around Doo Lough in west Clare that's where I seen that weird object my son was with me it was nearly 12 years ago. We still mention it now and again, he's nearly 21 now.

    It was like an airplane without any pointy front, wings or tail. The front was a bit like a jumbo jet but more rounded.

    And ironically it was fuzzy lol 😂



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Cheerful S


    When pilots are seeing what appears to be solid objects moving up and down sideways, it is evidently not a weather phenomenon. In the video that I posted on page 9 a pilot discusses his experience with one of the Nimitz UFOs, providing answers to a variety of debunker questions about why this is not a natural phenomenon or a plane. In the course of the conversation, he discusses what his onboard computer was telling him about the object he was chasing. 

    Happy travels, but you may not see what you saw again, who knows?  



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,407 ✭✭✭✭King Mob


    Yea man. Gotta watch out for those pesky questions.

    Might make you doubt things. Can't have that.

    Nice that you made friends with a holocaust denier who believes the same stuff you do. That's probably not worth a self evaluation or anything...



  • Registered Users Posts: 187 ✭✭gladvimpaker


    Thanks, I'm heading out there some evening during the week.

    Do you follow much of these things on Instagram ?

    I follow a lot of the sasquatch, paranormal and UFO page's. I'd love an encounter with something off the charts. Like seeing a Portal open up or something similar to Skinwalker ranch. Some people would suggest that there's a high concentration of minerals or magnetic chaos ayit plays tricks on the mind.

    I wouldn't mind either way, I love thrill seeking lol



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,231 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe


    Logic. Consider the millions of "sightings" and "abductions", not a single one is clear-cut. Why is that? there must be thousands claiming UFOs hovering just overhead or nearby, yet not a single piece of normal footage. Everything is always "just out of focus", there's always an excuse, every time. Likewise now that we all have smartphones, why have these all stopped?

    It's similar to the whole "ghost" thing, there's a million stories and sightings, but no one can produce a single credible clear-cut piece of evidence. The same with "Bigfoot", the "Loch Ness monster". Again, there's always some excuse, systematically, in thousands upon thousands of cases.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Cheerful S


    There is no logic to what you are saying. The claim that millions of people have been captured by aliens is false, and many abduction stories are ridiculed and debunked by ufologists. The mere fact that someone claims to see an alien UFO does not mean it is true. There are many videos of UFOs from Turkey that appear to be a craft over the sea, but how can you confirm it is a genuine craft from another planet? The object in Turkey hidden behind a dark backdrop. It appears to be quite neat at first glance, but it could easily be a mock fake, so it is very hard to confirm its authenticity. 

    This here Turkey UFO.


    Apparently, there is a 23 minute video in the possession of the US that shows clear evidence of the UFO's strange origins, although it is still classified. There are more videos in the US that have not been released. Elizonda obtained the other three videos since they were not classified, just paperwork needed to be filed in order to get them released, There is some very compelling old video of UFOs from the Soviet Union. One video shows a fighter pilot chasing a long cylinder UFO; another shows two disk-like craft merging; from what I recall, 

    Using drone technology, we could conceivably capture high-definition footage of a UFO. Drones are equipped with cameras. A UFO at 30,000 feet up in the air cannot be seen too clearly unless you are using a 1000 dollar or Euro camera.

    There are millions

    "The Roper Poll[edit]

    In 1991, Hopkins, Jacobs and sociologist Dr. Ron Westrum commissioned a Roper Poll in order to determine how many Americans might have experienced the abduction phenomenon. Of nearly 6,000 Americans, 119 answered in a way that Hopkins et al. interpreted as supporting their ET interpretation of the abduction phenomenon. Based on this figure, Hopkins estimated that nearly four million Americans might have been abducted by extraterrestrials. The poll results are available at this external link: Abduction by Aliens or Sleep Paralysis"


    There are countless accounts of abductions - these have disappeared with the advent of the smartphone. Conclusion: people were bullshitting or "believing" they saw something imaginary

    There are countless accounts of UFOs hovering or moving slowly or close by - these have disappeared with the smartphone. Conclusion: again, people were BSing

    There are countless accounts of "encounters" with aliens - these have also miraculously stopped with the smartphone. Conclusion: more BS

    Same for "ghosts", "bigfoot", etc. Conclusion: people have a tremendous ability to BS or genuinely believe something they invented on a large scale. Psychologists have demonstrated this again and again.

    In fact, you yourself are a direct example of this. You systematically make up stuff on this forum which you believe is fact until you change it later. Likewise you "see" things in photographs that aren't there. Exposing that is an "attack" on your belief system, therefore you attempt to defend it.

    It is not definite that there are spacecraft

    Then why do you keep using the word craft and why are you taking umbrage with me calling you out for your use of the word craft?

    instead, it is a theory based on what the observables and data indicate

    1. what is an observable?
    2. I've never seen any data that suggest something is an alien craft, feel free to share any data you have

    You do have a problem with people speculating about the nature of the object Fravor saw, and I do not, either do many people who are interested in the topic. Don't seem to get it

    You're not speculating it, though, Cheerful, are you? You're claiming outright, as fact, that these unexplained phenomena are alien spacecraft. You're not suggesting ti, you're outright declaring it. Do you see the difference?

     In a typical fashion, you have not expressed any opinion regarding what fravor observed. Please let us know your thoughts. Please don't be shy.

    "in typical fashion...." suggests that I have done this before, which I have not. Either put up proof that I did, or withdraw that comment please. To my knowledge, I haven't even been asked for my thoughts on what he saw, though such a request may have been buried in all the waffle you posted earlier which had nothing to do with the thread.

    Anyway, here's my hot take: What he saw was NOT an alien spaceship.



    Cheerful, you have demonstrated your quite considerable ignorance of all things scientific in that thread and continue to make a holy show of yourself almost every time you've posted anything. Your reputation is in tatters, you have been caught talking out of your hoop countless times, often on multiple occasions within the same post. You have zero kudos when it comes to all things 9-11. You refuse to accept reality. You refuse to see what is clear as day in front of your eyes.

    You have demonstrated that you have no clue about freefall, molten metal, thermite, explosives, building demolition, mirrors, lava, the use of the word pounds as a measure of weight..... Every single one of your claims and posts have been countered and answered, often multiple times. The usual course of action is that you run off with your tail between your legs, then come scurrying back in 3 months time, often under a new username, and we go around again.

    If you suggest that aliens might be operating these objects in the sky, people will go off in a huff indicating that UFOs are neither vehicles nor craft. The deniers are a strange lot. Though I rarely insult, I sometimes get passive-aggressive with the tone of my replies, and trying to tone that back.

    Again, you're not suggesting anything......you are proclaiming it as fact.

    And why wouldn't people challenge you on these claims? Why should you be allowed to claim they are craft or vehicles when there is zero evidence that is what they are? Why should anyone give you the benefit of the doubt or even the smallest bit of leeway when you have demonstrated your lack of good faith at almost every turn for a number of years now?



  • Posts: 5,869 [Deleted User]


    Prediction:

    Cheerful will ignore 95% of my post and will instead zero in on the the sentence about " freefall, molten metal, thermite, explosives, building demolition, mirrors, lava etc.....".

    In true Cheerful fashion (see what I did there?) he will also jump on whatever is the most recent sentence to grab his attention because it sounds good and it's what the grown-ups are saying and will, un-ironically, demand proof of every single instance where he has said these things, or demand that I withdraw those accusations.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Cheerful S


    https://www.history.com/news/ufo-sightings-speed-appearance-movement

    AATIP 

    UFOs/ Objects/ Vehicles - whichever term you like is used to describe them - meet five criteria indicating that they are unusual and not normal flying objects. They can be found at the bottom of the link.

    The observed observables do not match what is known about current flight technology.  

    Because of other possibilities, I do not assume that they are aliens, but I am open to the idea based on the reports and things that have been observed by military pilots and commercial pilots, as well as eyewitnesses. If you do not believe the craft could be a non-human craft from someplace, that is a matter for you to resolve on your own. Again, do not say anything. I do not believe there are alien spacecraft : That is your view, should we simply accept it as correct since Shifty is an authority on the issue? My dude, I am going to side with pilots who were actually there.

    It is not worth my time to respond to the rant. 



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Cheerful S


    Black lettering my help you.

    David Jacobs is a person debunked in ufology, long story, taking up too much time and while Hopkins did some good work in ufology he was prone to accepting stories that later transpired to be false. I would not place much trust in the poll. Know any of this because you just pull stuff from google.

    Again, disregard the little rant at the end, it is a waste of time.

    To raise the glaring question again, why have UFO abductions/close encounters, "Bigfoot" sightings, "ghost" sightings almost entirely disappeared with the advent of camera phones?

    The only logical answer seems to make you uncomfortable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,407 ✭✭✭✭King Mob


    Nope. You're not responding to the rest of his post because you can't. You're not able to dispute or counter any of it and you're too lazy, dishonest and cowardly to attempt it.


    Also you seem to just be mirroring things again.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Cheerful S


    These are military encounters with objects that defy the laws of physics as we understand them. We have progressed beyond what a common man can or cannot see on a smart phone. Pilots with a career in fighter aircraft would not report such a situation if there was no truth to it. To continue to be denialistic does not reflect the situation. 



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,231 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe


    Psychologists have repeatedly shown that anyone, regardless of profession or experience, can BS or genuinely believe a story they have fabricated.

    That aside, what is the single strongest case out there according to you? One that provides the most clear-cut evidence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,587 ✭✭✭silliussoddius


    Well trained sailors used to report seeing mermaids.

    How well trained were the observers who saw the Nordic aliens arriving during the Bronze Age?



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,123 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    Why are these aliens no longer appearing in front of civilians with camera phones? What made them decide to appear to those military people when they used to be happy to turn up in view of people in remote corn fields?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,231 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe


    Yes indeed, I saw an entire "documentary" on them. There is such a large audience for nonsense it's incredible, only have to switch on Discovery or History channel, "Ancient Aliens", ghost shows, "mermaids", etc.

    I am tired after a long day at work. Therefore, I will not spend a long time on this. However, it was not only the pilots who tracked the unknown; the Nimitz even performed a system diagnostic check by shutting down the entire system to check whether there had been a glitch. After booting up again, the objects were still present. Militaries do not rely solely upon humans to verify encounters; they have evidence, that something unusual has taken place, but since they are using state-of-the-art surveillance and tracking technology, they are limited in terms of how much information they can reveal. A rumor has been circulating that Congress is considering holding hearings on the issue, which would be a large development if it occurs. Many insiders are expected to be called to testify.  



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Cheerful S


    According to most ufologists, only 5% of UFO reports are genuine, everything else can be explained with more information. Are there any documented instances of their presence in cornfields or are they simply some crazy people having a bit of crack and producing artwork? They have been sighted around military installations since the 1950s, but there are far too many documented cases to discuss them here. On UFO forums, you will find people discussing old cases that most people have never heard of,  



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,231 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe



    Militaries constantly detect stuff they can't identify. They can also have system issues. Once again notice how it's not something definitive.

    Millions of cases at this stage, not a single clear-cut one. Countless numbers of "Bigfoot" and "ghost" sightings, not a clear-cut one. Statistically there's getting into impossible odds.

    If you feel there is a definitive case, present it. I haven't come across any.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Cheerful S


    Listen to this tape. This is a recording of air force personnel investigating strange objects at Bentwaters Air Base during the 1980s. You will hear what they saw in the sky. Col. Halt was the deputy commander of this nuclear base, so he was a serious individual.

     Many, but this one good.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,231 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,231 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe


    According to Mermaidologists around 5% of sightings are plausible.

    According to Bigfootologists around 7% of sightings are plausible.
