Trenix Posted June 25, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Far more believable that UFOs are just military aircrafts that are not known to the public. Everyone nowadays has a phone with a camera, yet UFO cases dropped significantly during the smartphone era, then once again increased as drones began being used to surveille us. That just explains it all really. I'd like to believe in aliens, I one time did believe in them, but such a thing would be revealed by now. Not just a story here or there.

Interesting thoughts, but remember, as our technologies close in on reality, so too does alien technology evolve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoPaul Posted June 27, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Our local paper is reporting one of these Xfiles documents here: http://www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/local-news/ufo-spotted-hovering-above-skegness-141393 It relates to an unknown series of lights floating for 7 hours off the coastline. The interesting thing is not what was seen but the government's reaction and how a government minister requested to know why the RAF was stood down when military radar picked up the sightings on radar, rather than scramble to intercept. Especially as the airbase they scramble from is located 30 miles or less from the sightings location. The classified document suggests the military watched it on radar, and yet the official public statement at the time denies it was ever on a radar, which suggests that the government at the time lied to the public and were aware of what it was, and decided to stop a routine RAF interception without giving any explanation why not. It seemed to cause an angry politician to question why our air defences were not being protected and demanded to know what it was and why the government had stood the RAF down and treated it as harmless when they later deny knowing what it was.

Finity Posted June 30, 2017 #14 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) The MOD doesn't even have a department that responds to reports any more. The official stance is they don't care unless there is a credible threat. Not surprising seeing as the MOD is badly understaffed these days and the civil service part (which would have been the ones doing these investigations) is a dying breed. Some interesting stuff locked away in storage though. We once found some books and military documents going back 300 years in a building we were clearing out Edited June 30, 2017 by Finity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty obvious the the RAF is not going to scramble if sightings do not match radar returns. Besides that, despite the signal processing power in modern radars, there is still something called CFAR (Constant False Alarm Rate), which basically tells you that RADARs are by no means infallible. But radar operators are pretty good, when experienced, at recognizing the tell tale signs. Cheers, Badeskov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
