Honestly - what other outcome was there? I am too cynical to believe that the government would have outed Black programs as reasons for sightings, and there isn't a shred of conclusive evidence for anything else.

Also, does hypersonic technology and extreme maneuverability go together? Wouldn't some really thorny CFD problems have to be solved to allow a scramjet to turn on a dime?

I find it hard to believe that a Hypersonic missile etc could go from mach-whatever to just hovering, and hover for hours on end like the Navy says they did. Certainly odd.

Read the navy's patent on their anti gravity machines: https://patents.google.com/patent/US10144532B2/en

The characteristics these craft exhibit are described in this.

They don't have anti gravity machines.

But they DO have a patent for it, so don’t think about marketing one yourself

Viking man says they do. Go to the 2 min mark, he lays it all out. https://rumble.com/vbodst-u.s.-space-force-technologies-and-...

> Basically bombarding this small, small, small area with tons and tons of energy based on all these needle points ... this ends up creating an anti-gravity field of sorts

Thanks for posting that link, but after watching that explanation I am even more sure that there is no anti-gravity device.

> Energy being vibrated at a certain frequency

"yeah science"

How about this one?

Well, as far as videos go, that certainly was one of them

Yeah, he's a dreamer.

They did manage to grow the UFO community to the largest it's ever been, while installing their own people as authority figures in its new wave of "the phenomenon." Now DIA has a captive audience they can manipulate for the next four years.

Why does the headline fail to summarize the article? The only information I found inside was "Government Finds No Evidence That Aerial Sightings Were American Spacecraft"

    WASHINGTON — American intelligence officials have found 
    no evidence that aerial phenomena witnessed by Navy pilots 
    in recent years are alien spacecraft, 

Literally the very beginning of the article.

you omitted the rest of the quote:

"[...] but they still cannot explain the unusual movements that have mystified scientists and the military, according to senior administration officials briefed on the findings of a highly anticipated government report."

And, later in the text:

"[...] And while a forthcoming unclassified version, expected to be released to Congress by June 25, will present few other firm conclusions, senior officials briefed on the intelligence conceded that the very ambiguity of the findings meant the government could not definitively rule out theories that the phenomena observed by military pilots might be alien spacecraft."

isn't it obvious? they're simply avatar "cameras" being used by those running our simulation to explore through it, same as we do in a game world.

What a weird ass trivial title on the NY article, and what a misleading one on the HN

Let me get this straight... the government patents something that looks and behaves exactly like the Tic Tac craft (including going in and out of water). Then, vehicles like this are spotted in military training areas. Notice that they are not at the Superbowl or out in a field in Kansas, always at military exercises and always on the water. Hmmm.

Technically, you're not supposed to get patents for things that can't be built in reality. So we have a patent and videos of a working machine. Now both could be BS, but the most likely possibility is that either the patent and craft are real (and therefore of human origin) or both are not.

The possibility of alien visitors who only choose to visit military training over the water and never a Wal-Mart or an empty mountain range using their fancy ships --- seems very unlikely.

EDIT: BTW, the patent mentions that the current design can't hold people (the effect that causes the motion would kill them), but a larger version could be designed with shielding that could fit a person inside. Still think it's aliens?

What patent are you talking about?

The Tic Tac drone/vehicle thing is the subject of a Navy patent.

If it had been, astrophysicists would have been very excited knowing that new physics must exist for this to be possible. Else they are ships which manage to survive eons traveling space intact and in perfect working condition.

Title changed to: "U.S. Finds No Evidence of Alien Technology in Flying Objects, but Can’t Rule It Out, Either".

Apparently this particular conspiracy theory (or whatever you want to call it) is only really a thing in the US and Brazil (or some country in South America) and the rest of the world is like 'probably not a alien spacecraft'.

That's not really true.

I saw some research to back this up but I don't remember where. Its not like zero in other places but a far, far lesser extent.
