JFK-1 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 The first recorded alien visitor from another star system. There have been suggestions this object may be an alien probe much like the exploratory probes we ourselves send out. Personally I doubt that but the object is highly unusual. There is nothing like it in our own solar system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greedy Jambo Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 That thing has been hinging about for a good while now. It's certainly interesting but it does look far more like a big piece of space rock than some kind of probe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than aliens it put back into my mind an event that's certain to happen, an impacting space rock. As was mentioned in the video no one saw this thing till it had actually passed us at a very close range. This is evidence that unlike say the scenario in the film deep impact where they knew an impact was coming years ahead of the event that's not always going to be the case. If an object approaches from the direction of the sun we're not going to see it till it's actually burning up in our skies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best you may break it up into thousands of pieces rather than just one. Then you get a machine gun effect rather than a cannon ball. Same amount of energy being released. The only real answer is to try to nudge it enough to miss. If it's caught far enough out it wont take much of a nudge to miss. But again, this object approached from the direction of the sun and wasn't seen till it had actually passed. There is no stopping something you don't know is there till it hits.

You'd think you would be more likely to see it if it was coming from the direction of the sun, big black thing in front of a light.

Stars and planets are and you can't see them in daytime. The ISS is as big as a football field and right next to us yet we can't see it in daytime. And that's exactly why this interstellar object wasn't seen till it passed and was reflecting light back at us in the night sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all meteors are tiny and burn up in the atmosphere, so no worries about them It's the asteroids that can cause extinction events but, luckily for us, they're all in stable orbits just like the planets. The newcomer described by JFK-1 is interstellar and highly unpredictable. It would be lights out if that one hit the earth. Fortunately, they're also rare.

No bunker, no deep coal mine. Some life forms might survive, but homo sapiens wouldn't be one of them To my knowledge it would have to be considerably bigger than that for an extinction level event to rival the dinosaurs demise. That was estimated to be around 6 miles in diameter. Something the size of Edinburgh castle would certainly obliterate a city leaving not a trace that it was ever there. Quote Brian Toon, a geoscientist from the University of Colorado Boulder, says that a space rock .8 km (.5 miles) wide would release energy akin to 100 billion tons of trinitrotoluene or TNT. While an asteroid the size of a house, hitting the earth at 48,000 km/h (30,000 miles per hour), would pulverize all man-made structures up to half a mile from ground zero. A larger rock (the size of a 20-story building, for example) would flatten anything standing within 8 km (5 miles) from the point of impact.

There are many variables, to be sure. But to quote Mr. Toon: "Brian Toon, a geoscientist from the University of Colorado Boulder, says that a space rock .8 km (.5 miles) wide would release energy akin to 100 billion tons of trinitrotoluene or TNT." Edinburgh Castle is approx .5 miles wide (1/2 a mile) I would say, and if that releases energy akin to 100 billion tons of TNT, that would make the largest H-bomb ever built (50 million tons of TNT) seem like a fir-cracker. Most of Europe would be vaporised, I reckon. And the nuclear winter that followed, possibly lasting for decades, would have a devastating effect on the rest of the planet. But you're right, it would not be the extinction event I described earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been speculation in the past few years that the age of dinosaurs may not have come to an end if the object had impacted in another location.

There is a wealth of unexplained UAP"s or unexplained aerial phenomena in circulation if you know where to look. I was quite shocked in finding this after a search i was doing. Its a dossier of links of the CIAs release of unclassified UAPs on their page. The CIA have put up a webpage for all their declassified records. UFOs: Fact or Fiction? Back in 1978, CIA declassified hundreds of documents detailing the Agency’s investigations into Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) in the late-1940s into the 1950s. We’ve decided to highlight a few documents within the vast amount of data contained in our FOIA UFO collection that both skeptics and believers will find interesting. The truth is out there, and it’s your time to find it. Click the links to begin your search. Top Five CIA Documents for Believers: Flying Saucers Reported Over East German, 1952 Minutes of Branch Chief’s Meeting on UFOs, 1952 Flying Saucers Reported Over Spain and North Africa, 1952 Survey of Flying Saucer Reports, 1952 Flying Saucers Reported Over Belgian Congo Uranium Mines, 1952.

maroonlegions Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 And this is a great website concentrating sightings by the police right here in the UK. Great UK Police UFO site managed by British Detective Constable Gary Heseltine containing comprehensive listings of numerous credible UFO/OVNI sightings from trained professionals highly experienced in reporting what they see. WELCOME TO THE PRUFOS POLICE DATABASE; This is an unofficial police site run by a serving police detective with over 18 years experience. My name is GARY HESELTINE and I am a serving Detective Constable. I launched the PRUFOS POLICE DATABASE in January 2002. It caters for serving and retired police officers to record their respective UFO sightings. Police sightings are listed in two categories - On and Off duty sightings. Since its launched I have 256 cases dating back to 1901 involving 608 British police officers. After studying the subject for over thirty years I am totally convinced that a small proportion of UFO sightings are genuine and represent an extraterrestrial presence on the Earth. The media present the subject with a degree of ridicule - this is a total misrepresentation of the KNOWN FACTS about UFOs. My belief in the extraterrestrial hypothesis is based primarily on: 2000 Military pilot reports 3000 Commercial pilot reports Hundreds of Radar operator reports Positive comments made by scientists, astronauts, cosmonauts, astronomers. Positive comments made by senior military people i.e. Generals, Admirals, Colonels etc.. LINK: www.prufospolicedatabase.co.uk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Conspiracy nuts will automatically label anything unexplained to be what they fantasise it to be. Even when it's habitually proven that it's not what they want it to be. A classic example is this. Real alien looking isn't it, but it's not. It's a B-2 Spirit bomber which while being developed was a secret project but was from time to time spotted and reported as a UFO which in fact it actually was. Unidentified flying object. Which simply means unidentified, not alien. We can be guaranteed there are currently even more futuristic secret aircraft possibly pilot-less which would allow incredible speeds in development. Which if spotted will be claimed to be martians etc. There is as much evidence for aliens visiting the earth as there is for underground living leprechauns sticking their arse up through the surface to fart out a rainbow.

But with regards to the video's that the pentagon have said are real, these are objects that defy all logic, they make turns that are impossible, they can do speeds that US fighter pilots have never seen.
