Hmmm it might come down to if they believe in HomoGay or not

well , the aviation sites are chock-a-block with UFOs watching the Iranian nuke programme . Who claim they are Mach 10 capable and into space , like suborbital cruise . Apparently the Pasdaran , as in more religious Revolutionary Guard , shot down an F-14 on patrol . Also claimed one has crashed and they have the pieces and they look "American" .

what's going on ? Simple , Trump chose to up the stakes . There might be a war with Iran and every op ed on these revelations lead one to either believe that America has capability to catch Aliens or it's undeclared American tech . So , nothing to fear about a war when Washington thinks Saudis will do the heavy lifting and Saudis think the exact opposite and Israel will get total destruction of Hizbullah and the only quandry am in whether ı should be in an X-Wing or a TIE Fighter .

plus , ordinary people should also be beware that the F-18 pilot "chosen" to be like "intercepting" was apparently cool enough to be chosen to play the guy to follow in some American TV documentary about Naval Aviation . Think acting .


edit : And now am so egoist or something let me add a post of yours idiotly

uhm , not exactly on topic but completes the rant of mine above ...

edit like 2 hours later :
And yes , the "revelation" that two Subpar Hornets flew against a disc in 2004 , with HUD footage to boot , is part of the same mindset . As part of the revelation that Pentagon has been like spending 55 million bucks on UFO hunting . You know , they went on with all sorts of lies after getting sure that they would not be able to find or even fake a WMD site in Iraq and neither "aliens" nor "angels" could stop them . As for authenticity of the HUD , well , it was last week ı saw the latest Star Wars movie and am ı like claiming everything seen there is real ? But don't worry , Lockmart's finest , F-35 , is actually capable of hunting them UFOs !

sites that support these tend to impress people who know Russians are now perfectly capable of making stuff that are just like you , down to fingerprints , but only the voice is a failure and it can operate up to 2 months . So , if some priest is caught , ı don't know , molesting the children of the illegal immigrants he employs despite his staunch support for the "Wall" , well , it's the Russian copy of the Priest , not the good Priest . ı don't know what happened to "Devil made me do it!"

I can't believe the POTUS believes in UFO's.

I can't believe the POTUS believes in UFO's.

Why wouldn't he?

We have absolutely no way to establish the likelihood of alien life visiting us, and many scientists believe that it is statistically practically impossible for alien life NOT to exist somewhere in the universe. It would be foolish to rule out the idea of flying objects of alien origin as a possibility.

But even without that, one of the UFOs might still turn out to be a secret military project by the Nazis on the dark side of the Moon.

Is this the right place to mention that I read a couple weeks ago that someone was doing a SETI investigation of Oumaumua, the interstellar asteroid? It is shaped weirdly, but it seems pretty unlikely it's a spacecraft given its "normal" trajectory through the Solar System.

It's a prudent move to check it out. They have the facilities to do it and it's an extrasolar object so why not observe it?

Astronomers are also arguing about whether or not it is a comet or an asteroid as it has given conflicted readings on that front. I think though that by and large there are a lot of 'asteroids' that are really just comets that have lost most of their surface gases. I don't think the distinction between the two is as pronounced or as important as we used to think it.

Oh, it's definitely worth checking out. I'm just disappointed because of course I want it to be a spacecraft, or at least an automated probe!

Well, it didn't produce a tail. But since we know that outer Solar System objects are overwhelmingly comets, and distant (from the star) objects are far more likely to be gravitationally ejected from their parent star systems, they think it may have been a comet (ie, had lots of volatiles that could produce a tail) at one time.

I don't think the distinction between the two is as pronounced or as important as we used to think it.

This is probably right.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

We don't know that the outer solar system is overwhelmingly comets AFAIK. This object has not produced a coma or tail but the readings they take from the surface alternatively show it to be a regular asteroid or a depleted comet.

I do really want this to be a space probe as well.

 

[Lexicus]

We don't know that the outer solar system is overwhelmingly comets AFAIK.

Well, AFAIK that's the prevailing theory, or set of theories. The outer solar system structures, the Kuiper belt, Oort cloud, and scattered disk, are thought to be composed primarily of icy bodies. I suppose we don't "know" for certain but I don't know of any observational evidence that seriously complicates that picture.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

I agree, I'm just pointing out that we don't have a huge body of evidence that points either way. I'm kind of hoping @uppi knows what's good here. And like I was saying before, the line between comet and asteroid has been sufficiently muddied by recent observations that it isn't always a particularly useful distinction.

Well, right, which is why I changed the term to 'icy bodies' rather than comet. Because there is certainly a distinction between objects that have lots of ices and objects that are mostly rock or metal.

They should probably renounce the label of "scientist" if they express such views though.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Not really? It's a reasonable hypothesis given the evidence.

 

[Light Cleric]

^ It does say that a lot of money went somewhere that might merit an audit.

I mean, yeah, but the Pentagon has admitted they had to literally make up trillions of dollars in account adjustments to get in balance, so sadly they don't really give a damn.

 

[Manfred Belheim]

Not really? It's a reasonable hypothesis given the evidence.

Well, it's not a hypothesis is it, it's a positive claim. And what evidence exists that would allow you to use the word "statistically" in reference to something about which we have no statistics? Sorry, that's not scientific.

 

[Lexicus]

Do you really want an explanation of this or are you on a soap box?

 

[Manfred Belheim]

A hypothesis is a positive claim.

A hypothesis is a possible explanation for something that can be tested, indeed the point of it is to be tested. "There's almost certainly aliens out there" doesn't explain anything and is just a claim with no evidence. Hopefully it'll be possible to test it in the future, but it doesn't appear to be stated as if that's what it's for.
