It doesn’t make sense to me. What is the motive?

Hell if I know. Maybe to get 50 years of unchecked MIC funding.

Right, that’s the part that has me scratching my head. The hearing made clear the money laundering that was happening between the DOD and private contractors. I don’t see how the CIA fits into things.

There's like 23 intelligence agencies. I don't know how it all breaks down. But something stinks about this whole thing imo, when the government recruits a Blink 182 member to assist with this whole disclosure thing: http://web.archive.org/web/20230306005444/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/26/science/tom-delonge-ufo-research.html

23 that we know of. And that doesn’t account for the private sector. That’s the important part to me. Private sector has severely limited congressional oversight. And the DOD is a massive, largely ungoverned slush fund.

The shadow government isn’t a government at all.

I heard in some video that because the government couldn't keep these captured saucers a secret, they were put in private hands. It sort of makes sense, because the government doesn't really have the capability to do quality research or product development, anyway.

I don't have the URL and even then you wouldn't get any information out of it, because it's not verified.

Patents on completely crazy things "Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device": https://patents.google.com/patent/US20170313446A1/en?inventor=Salvatore+Pais&oq=inventor:(Salvatore+Pais) do exist. That is, patents have been published on technology that is so crazy it's considered a joke by everyone. A quality research department of a newspaper should get a team of physicists to chase those things and see whether any of it could actually work.

It’s just considered a joke? Like by scientists and engineers? Has anyone tried to build it?

[–]binaryblob 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Some website contacted two experts, which claimed it was bogus. The same website also contacted the patent filer via e-mail and he basically said that he would be proven right.

The patent office also claims that a demo was provided for at least some of the outlandish claims. Additionally, from what I understand the Chinese apparently were developing similar technology and the US Navy wanted to file before the Chinese (which suggests that they had been sitting on this technology for a long time).

The guy also had an IEEE paper published with more details, which I haven't read.

Room temperature superconductors are quite close to reality regardless of his work. I believe the record is like 250K now, which is good enough on the North Pole.

That’s fucking crazy. Seriously.

You are actively involved in this instead of something worthy of your attention and outrage, is motive enough, no?

[–]TitsAndWhiskey 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I’m just cooking here, my man

If you can convince your adversaries you have alien technology as backup for when the shit hits the fan, nobody is going to even consider provoking an attack before they figure out whether or not you really have that.

Having said that, I strongly believe that if just one piece of intelligent life besides us were to exist that they would be able to survey the entire universe within a few thousand years (despite supposed speed of light barriers, because they would figure out a way to have warp drives).

I don't quite get whether they meant the interdimensionals were actually subject to the same laws as us or that they just happen to know more about physics. For example, if you control all however string dimensions, you could probably disable every computer system remotely (a capability that was supposedly demonstrated over 50 years ago when ufos caused shutdown of WMDs).

I don't get why they never just fired a laser on those UAPs (airborne lasers have been working for decades and the F-35 will have them). Dodging a laser is going to be difficult.

If I knew for a fact that these things were there, I would commit a war effort to shooting them down, unless there were diplomatic relations. It might take an aircraft carrier full of supercapacitors connected to a few thousand lasers, but a true death ray could certainly be constructed like that. The payoff of such alien technology would obviously be worth the investment.

I think until an actual biologic is standing next to the president or independent people can point their radio telescopes on their home world this is not really going to change anything. If one could perfectly manipulate space, magical technology would be possible (e.g. finding a cure for any person specific type of cancer in seconds).
