UFOs (UAPs): Explanations?

[Magical Realist]

You have a nervous tic. Whenever you are unsure of your ground, you start your reply with "LOL". In poker, that would be called a "tell".

Actually laughter is a moment of release and relaxation, usually here in response to something stupid someone has said, I take it you don't get out much or you'd be more than familiar with it.

Where can I read some first-hand reports?

We'd need to look carefully at what the aircraft themselves were doing during these observations. Obviously, there are at least two ways an object in the sky can be caused to apparently move. One is that the object itself moves; the other is that the observer moves.

As for "formations", that is interesting and warrants further investigation.

See the video too. I'm not posting these things for my health.

You've posted a few photos. We the aircraft in the photos under fire from the ground or other aircraft at the time? Because those spots could perhaps be tracer rounds.

Nope..they're foofighters.

You will observe that the Sun looks red at sunset and sunrise, despite the fact that it's a blinding yellow-white ball at midday. Compare and contrast.

We're talking Venus here, which is never mistaken as a red ball of fire by anyone because it never remotely resembles one. Try again?

 

[Kittamaru]

Never red hm?

 

[Magical Realist]

Never red hm?

LOL! Nope...just a big white star, not a red fireball.

 

[Gawdzilla Sama]

With little green men in it.

 

[Kittamaru]

I see... color recognition must not be your strong suite.

That first image, for example - if you check the RGB color code of Venus, even blowing the image up a bit to pick out the different colors captured:

The central color is RGB 24, 209, 202 - Hex code #f5d1ca - http://www.color-hex.com/color/f5d1ca
The outer edges of the planet itself are 173, 137, 130 - Hex code #ad8982 - http://www.color-hex.com/color/ad8982
The aura around the planet is 163, 127, 120 - Hex code #a37f78 - http://www.color-hex.com/color/a37f78

Now, maybe you blind yourself to it, but there is plenty of red in there...

This is a double up from thread
Mansfield helicopter ufo incident
but just as relevant here

From the 70's to today technology has made great advantages

I would have expected UFO sightings to

• Increase in number/frequency
• Increase in quality

Not happening. Still fuzzy photos. Same for ghost. Why? why? why?

Just about every 6 months or shorter periods a new phone comes out. Electronic stores are awash with up to date with the newest bestist gadgets. Never seen a ad saying we have the new best ghost detector. Or - install the new UFO detection ariel on your roof to find out what flying overhead - has thousands of filters to screen out all aircraft andplanets so no false alarms. If the alarm goes off you have been visited. For a few extra $s add the auto photo/video recording with sound included

 

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Yep. Celestron sells thousands of telescopes. You can get camera attachments for them, both cell phone and conventional camera. Both of those take movies. But the number of convincing UFO sightings remains at zero.

I would wager it largely has to do with the, hm, cross section of the population experiencing these issues- I mean, why is it that most of these sightings come from folks who, as Foxworthy put it, are "using fishing lures and holding beer cans"...?

A lot of sighting do happen in the Derp South.

Nope....still a big white star and not a red fireball,.

UFO sightings hit all-time high, report says

http://www.foxnews.com/science/2017/02/28/ufo-sightings-hit-all-time-high-report-says.html

 

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Faux News as a source. A cry for help if ever there was one.

 

[Kittamaru]

Nope....still a big white star and not a red fireball,.

So despite having the evidence presented to you on a silver platter, you are refusing to acknowledge it.

Further proof of your preference for intellectual dishonesty over any oft-stated mission to "find the truth".

You didn't believe that, did you?

I try to give the benefit of the doubt... but MR has shown that to be an effort in futility time and again.

Here's some actual photos of foo fighters:

How do you know they are photos of foo fighters?

What is the source of these photos?

 

[Michael 345]

Here's some actual photos of foo fighters:

So they are NOT unidentified?
They have been identified as Foo fighters
Can you please explain how the diagnosis made?
Some markings? the shape? The maneuverability? some other characteristic? radio contact? (Hello inferior planes. Look over here. We are the Foo fighters. Not the rock band. Geeeze)

 

[Magical Realist]

How do you know they are photos of foo fighters?

What is the source of these photos?

These photos are actually all over the web in many articles or youtube videos about foo fighters.
Here's one article for instance.

https://dirkdeklein.net/2016/06/14/foo-fighters-ww2-ufos/

Do you doubt their authenticity? Do you see evidence of photoshopping?

Oh, well, if they are all over the web, they must be real! LOL.

I haven't looked at them in that level of detail.

However, I watched the youtube video you posted above, and it strikes me that some of these "photos" might actually be frame grabs from video/film footage. If you watch your youtube videos, you'll see a whole lot of analogue noise in the footage, from dust on the film or in the projector, from physical deterioration of the film over time, and so on.

Interestingly, one of the features often seem in the film footage is momentary, random bright flashes of light - bright spots that look an awful lot like the "foo fighters" that are claimed in the photos.

I assume you have not done any actual research into any of this, as usual. (?)
