    After watching the better part of the hearing, I firmly believe what’s being seen is most likely Chinese military. I think if aliens have been sending spacecraft to Earth for the last 50 years, at some point the aliens would stop by for a chat with their new Earthling friends. Isn’t that the first thing we’d do if we found intelligent life on another planet? Some form of communication.

    What if we're their experiment and they are avoiding contaminating it? In order for them to know where and when we are, they'd almost have to be responsible for our being here to begin with. They could be observing with no intention of contacting us.

    If they are that advanced technologically, they wouldn’t need to descend to such low altitudes in order to observe or monitor planet Earth. Which again leads me back to this is likely a foreign actor or perhaps a top secret American military operation. But the hallmarks suggest China.

    A civilization capable of interstellar travel would be able to monitor every breath we take without us ever noticing. I also don’t believe any government would be able to keep this technology secret for so long.

    My best guesses are some rare natural phenomena we don’t yet understand. Or some alien teen playing with their drone where they are not supposed to.

    The best part about this post is that even if you figure out channing is talking about the sun, you still can't rule out extraterrestrial causes.

    The sun sets over the Pacific, not the Atlantic. Earth was literally spinning backwards for two minutes!

    if experienced, published biologists and a couple dozen others like him along with electronic surveillance in different parts of the world all said the same thing it would give me serious pause.

    interesting talk.

    U.S. Army Colonel reveals presence of Alien life on earth: 'They've been here for a long time' (msn.com)
    At one of the most exclusive business summits of the year in New York City, an Army official made startling claims of non-human intelligence interacting with earth.

    A startling revelation that is only believed by the world's population when it is said by a high-raking official from any of the most powerful world governments just took place in New York City. During the summer of 2023, former National Reconaissance Office (NRO) officer David Grusch testified alongide two NAVY pilots in front of Congress to make multiple paradigm-shifting claims. David Grusch's testimony under oath in front of Congress is what has kept this fascinating and possibly frightening subject alive with a lively debate ongoing in multiple platforms. That same former official was supposed to speak on the same stage where months earlier, Stanford tenured professor and lead immunologust, Dr. Garry Nolan claimed he was 100% sure a non-human intelligence is real and has been interacting with earth for a long time.

    For Karl Nell, a non-human intelligence has been interacting with humanity for hundreds of years. The potential evidence he presented to back up his claims is the fact that high-ranking officials from governments like Canada or Israel are making similar claims. It is not just the United States, for this is a global phenomenon taking place at the moment. Perhaps this is the statement that should ake global news, if the mainstream media wants to report on it. Nell said: "Non-human intelligence exists. Non-human intelligence has been interacting with humanity. This interaction is not new, and it's been ongoing. And they're unelected people in the government that are aware of that. There is zero doubt." There are many interesting topics he covered that have everything to do with the impact disclosure could have in human civilization. Well worth a watch. The full conversation is down below.

    Former Canadian defence minister Paul Hellyer says aliens will help humans if we stop wars (yahoo.com)

    A former Canadian defence minister is urging humanity to abandon its warmongering ways and turn its back on atomic weaponry with the promise that advanced aliens will reward a more peaceful Earth with technological marvels and advancements in agriculture and medicine.

    And while it is hard to take seriously a message that appears to be a mash-up of every science fiction trope to be dreamed up since Gene Roddenberry was in short pants, let’s give the message a moment of thought.

    In a widely-shared interview with Russian Today, former defence minister Paul Hellyer said that he believed aliens were real, that they are present on Earth and that they would be more willing to help humanity if we stopped warring and polluting. “We have a long history of UFOs and of course there has been a lot more activity in the last few decades since we invented the atomic bomb,” Hellyer said.

    “They are very concerned about that and that we might use it again, because the whole cosmos as a unity, and it affects not just us but other people in the cosmos, they are very much afraid that we might be stupid enough to start using atomic weapons again.”

    models theorizing warp drive within the known laws of physics is entirely possible

    Wild Discovery Suggests a Warp Drive Is Possible Within Known Physics : ScienceAlert

    "This study changes the conversation about warp drives," says physicist Jared Fuchs of Applied Physics, who did his PhD at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. "By demonstrating a first-of-its-kind model, we've shown that warp drives might not be relegated to science fiction."
    ...................
    "In this paper, we have developed the first constant velocity subluminal physical warp drive solution to date that is fully consistent with the geodesic transport properties of the Alcubierre metric," Fuchs and colleagues write in their published paper.
    ........................
    It's still not practical, mind you. But it could be a step in the right direction. The team intends to explore their model further to see if they can refine it, and plans to investigate ways to increase the velocities it can reach.

    "Although such a design would still require a considerable amount of energy, it demonstrates that warp effects can be achieved without exotic forms of matter," says physicist Christopher Helmerich of Applied Physics and graduate student of the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

    They’re baaaaaaaack. By back I mean UFO hearings.




    New Pentagon report on UFOs includes hundreds of new incidents but no evidence of aliens

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon’s latest report on UFOs has revealed hundreds of new reports of unidentified and unexplained aerial phenomena but no indications suggesting an extraterrestrial origin.

    The review includes hundreds of cases of misidentified balloons, birds and satellites as well as some that defy easy explanation, such as a near-miss between a commercial airliner and a mysterious object off the coast of New York.

    While it isn’t likely to settle any debates over the existence of alien life, the reportreflects heightened public interest in the topic and the government’s efforts to provide some answers. Its publication comes a day after House lawmakers called for greater government transparency during a hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs — the government’s term for UFOs.

    Federal efforts to study and identify UAPs have focused on potential threats to national security or air safety and not their science fiction aspects. Officials at the Pentagon office created in 2022 to track UAPs, known as the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO, have said there’s no indication any of the cases they looked into have unearthly origins.
