Comments by "Titanium Rain" (@ChucksSEADnDEAD) on "60 Minutes, Navy pilots describe encounters with UFOs: BUSTED!" video.

The issue is that there's probably a thousand people who are able to analyze and explain this, but they're not allowed to talk about it until they're cleared for it. So in the end someone in the official channels says "we confirm the footage is real and we haven't identified what it is" and people lose their minds.

@eddiebruv I might be wrong but I doubt West Point has an ornithology department.

The 60 Minutes piece had segments aired outside the US too. Our media isn't "fact checking" and just reports on it uncritically.

@iraniansuperhacker4382 How did you calculate those 5000 Gs?

 @iraniansuperhacker4382 I can't find the paper. How did he acquire radar and sensor data?

@iraniansuperhacker4382 I don't have much to offer in terms of a proper analysis, but the early examples of radar data showing impossible speeds seem similar to Project PALLADIUM. If you have a receptor detecting incoming radar energy, and then re-emit them with the proper timing and Doppler shift you can create radar contacts with the speed you want. The US military and NSA used it to measure Cuban radar abilities by creating fictional supersonic flights about to buzz through Cuban airspace and watched their fighters scramble in response. They even had a submarine time the release of balloons with metal spheres to coincide with the fake radar contacts entering the area to intercept and submerge to avoid being seen. The Nimitz footage is easily explainable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1di0XIa9RQ

@johnharding4444 "Do you honestly think the USA Govenment spends more on health care than it does on the military." - Yes. Both the Medicare and Medicaid add up to over one trillion a year, which is more than the defense budget.
2
@johnharding4444 It's not made up. The defense budget for 2020 was 690 billion. Medicaid got 458 billion and Medicare got 924 billion. Unfortunately for you, it's easy to check. "but the military budget of the government is the 2nd biggest expenditure" - This is pure sleight of hand. If my budget for rent is 400, my budget for food is 300, my budget for my car payment is 200 dollars and I spend 200 dollars on gas, food is the 2nd biggest expenditure but in total I dedicate more money to my car. You're either being intentionally misleading, or I'm actually embarrassed to have to explain to an adult that something being the second in numerical order it doesn't mean its total is greater than the sum of the items below in that table.

I mean, they had WMDs, but they were mostly abandoned stock that was probably to degraded to use, and did not run afoul of the UN inspections like the government claimed.

@donaldhysa4836 "The truth is pilots would be best qualified to study these cause they are the biggest expert of aircraft" - Huhhhhhh. No? Maybe test pilots because they're usually aeronautical/mechanical engineers, but the majority of pilots is not an expert in aerial phenomena or "aircraft" in general.
1
@eat_ze_bugs Nobody's saying the Pentagon doesn't have scientists, the issue is that they're not the ones being interviewed. They're probably not allowed to be anyway.

@donaldhysa4836 "They fly the most advanced flying machines built by men" - They're also normal people. "They know what the most advanced flying machines built by man are capable off" - No, they aren't. In fact, I'm reminded of the tale of the first pilots that were allowed to see the SR-71. When the select few took a glimpse at the blackbird one of them turned and said "See, I told you aliens were real!". One of the pilots of the most advanced flying machines didn't believe the SR-71 was man-made at first. "you or some random youtuber dont get to just waltz in and call them idiots" - But I am not. You're the one holding them to an impossible standard.

"When exactly has anyone seen birds flying faster than the speed of sound?" - Do you have any evidence the object in the video broke the speed of sound?
1
@cliffordschaffer5289 Again, it's unidentified to the official channels. You have no way of knowing what they know if the people who know aren't cleared to talk about it.

@AverageAlien Hold up this guy's an alien, get him!

@jessicatriplev9802 "Is a random youtuber a better authority on the subject than the PhD scientists working for the Military?" - Were they interviewed?
1
Rollo_Tomasi I'm not well versed in pod footage recordings but isn't the quality degrading a result of aircraft still carrying around magnetic tape? I believe the F-15 still uses magnetic tape and pilots say they'd like a transition to digital but they understand that they'd rather allocate the budget to other upgrades.
1
"Why are they showing us bogus videos and claiming UAP?" - They're releasing footage as they normally do with stuff that gets declassified, and the official channels are not cleared to tell whatever the conclusions are so it remains an unexplained phenomenon.

To be fair this is being reported on uncritically this side of the Atlantic as well.

@Katojana No, 4k isn't in the budget. Here's a good video demonstrating the image quality: https://youtu.be/C7d7h1_uZe8?t=65 Since the pods themselves have optical zoom, increasing resolution is not worthwhile since cooled IR staring arrays are much more expensive than your normal CCD camera sensor.
1
If the pod can see something, it can lock on it. Doesn't matter what it is, as long as you have that black dot (in black hot mode) you're just telling the computer to use contrast with nearby pixels to track. If you can tell After Effects to track someone's face to do a CGI effect, you can lock on a duck.

@robames1293 Because probably it was identified, it was nothingburger, they kept on living their lives but the footage ended up being blown out of proportion and the people in the know can't comment on what happened while people outside the military can theorize about aliens or advanced tech. The knowledge being compartmentalized and people currently serving not being free to discuss their operations and capabilities in detail creates a situation that makes the military look bad even though they're just doing their job, and the whackos are taken seriously.
