>Aliens don't exist
This is an insanely arrogant blanket statement to make.
Even if it was true, it would raise difficult questions of why Earth is so special and violates the Copernican principle, that you probably don't want to answer

It's a bunch of different incidents lumped together, the one In OP is literally just lens flare.

The one with more evidence is the Nimitz incident, where pilots intercepted something and supposedly it was detected both by the ship's radars and the fighter's radars.
However there is a game of telephone going on with this story; as far as we can tell the only time this object was observed displaying hypersonic characteristics was on the ship's radar.
However radar can be spoofed, and positional inaccuracies are characteristic of certain kinds of deception jamming. It also could be the case that there were more than one object in different locations showing up intermittently on the radar.

What the pilots saw was a featureless balloon shaped object that appeared to change position rapidly relative to their aircraft, however this impression could just be a result of disorientation.
1.the pilots do not know the size or distance of the object, they are above a uniform ocean with no reference points and the object has no distinguishing features to determine it's direction.
2. They have been told by the radar operator and potentially also their own sensors (the pilots themselves claim they were under jamming attack) that this object is moving around rapidly, so any ambiguous observations will be interpreted with this bias.

For example, in the FLIR video we see the pilots exclaim that the object is traveling at high speed and close to the surface.
However the telemetry data from the actual video tells us they are completely wrong; it is moving at wind speed thousands of feet up in the air.

Overall I think this might have been a covert operation to test the carrier group using standoff jamming and balloon decoys, likely to have a real world test of the spoofing system.
Back during the cold war the US used a system that combined jamming by electronic warfare aircraft, and submarine launched balloon decoys to test the air defence network of the Cuban military.

in that particular incident the object was too far away to be observed directly. The pilots are reacting to what they see on the screen.

OP's pic refers to the gimbal ufo, it's an atflir footage recorded by navy pilots from the uss roosevelt off the east coast in 2015, according to one of them the object we see is only one of the objects on screen, there were actually 5 other smaller objects leading said object in a V formation, and then those object turned around and flew the opposite direction and the 'gimbal' object did so as well, also the pilot said they were seeing these objects daily for months/years, either on radar or visually, one of them said one of these objects flew past two jets just feet away from them and it looked like a dark cube inside of a translucent sphere, this was so common that the navy's standard response was to release notams (notice to airmen) that there were boogies flying around and to be mindful, but now with the congressional briefings and official pentagon uap task force, all military branches service men are encouraged to come forward and report anything unusual in order to be further investigated

perhaps they meant that it was a real object not that it looked like a rotating bat signal.

>>14872565

There us an object there, hidden in IR glare. It is almost certainly a jet plane. The only interesting thing it dies is rotate, but the rotations all coincide with rotations of the gimbal camera mount... perhaps that is why the video clip was named Gimbal, huh? There is a real object, the interesting stuff ut seems to do is an artifact.

>>14874118

Not quite. It's glare, the target us very bright in IR. That us not the same thing as lens flare.

Fact that it's true. Humans and Earth don't occupy any special vantage point within the universe (or at least we haven't found any scientific evidence for that). We're not at the center of anything, and there's no reason to think Earth is uniquely capable of hosting life and that it's impossible everywhere else.
It's true we haven't discovered any aliens yet. But a simple explanation for this would be that intelligent technological life is very rare (reasonable guess based on how Earth has had only 1 such species that we know of) and we just have very limited ability to detect the rest of it, the simpler life that's not emitting radio signals
>>14874745
fuck off retard

>>14875469
>there's no reason to think Earth is uniquely capable of hosting life and that it's impossible everywhere else.
You mean except for the fact that there is life here, but not a single shred of evidence for life anywhere else? lol. Your dogma and circular reasoning are not proof of your sci-fi fantasies.

>>14875473
Ayyyyyy, it's the no-fun-allowed schizo from the Mars microbe thread.
You still have the massive gaping hole of not explaining or even considering the question of ***how/why*** earth has life and, allegedly, nowhere else does.
It's reasonable to think that complex, intelligent technological life could be so insanely rare that we are the only ones in our galaxy right now. But that doesn't mean we're completely alone. If there's a handful of planets with microbes or things resembling algae or fungi out there, they're not going to be beaming TV signals at us and making themselves obvious.

>>14875515
>You still have the massive gaping hole of not explaining or even considering the question of ***how/why*** earth has life and, allegedly, nowhere else does.
I don't have any massive gaping hole in anything, you filthy troon, because I'm not the one making retarded postulations and then having endless cope threads to explain the "paradox" of observations not aligning with them. LOL

>>14875520
>earth has had billions of different species but, as far as we know, only 1 with technology that emits signals that would be easy to detect across vast distances of space
>if you apply that to the rest of the galaxy, then sure, why not, we could be the only one
The observations line up with the postulation, no problem.
And I've never brought up Fermi or called it a paradox. You're strawmanning and quoting someone else.

>>14875469
> No reason to think earth is uniquely capable of hosting life.

Completely reasonable, only under the paradigm of naturalism do you assume it's not.

In fact, operating under naturalism makes life so rare that it's considered mathematically impossible, factoring in abiogenesis, universal constants, etc.

Hence "muh multiverse".

> Only one species

Again, this math only supports your position if you assume naturalism, assuming theism we would expect humans to be the only "intelligent" species by design.

Basically, your entire argument is built upon baseless assumptions.

>>14875540
>The observations line up with the postulation
They don't.

> I've never brought up Fermi or called it a paradox
That's because you know it immediately exposes you. Unfortunately for you, the rest of your cult brings it up regularly.

>>14875543
>assuming theism
Earth has only existed for about one third the age of the universe. And life on earth has existed for only about one quarter of it.
So what the fuck was the deity doing before then? If we're completely unique then there would have been a completely lifeless universe for about 10 billion years before anything got started here.

>>14875555
Disgusting waste of quads.
Reminder that if someone looked at Earth just 110 years ago, or from more than 110 light years away, they could conclude that there is no life here, and call someone else a retarded cultist for suggesting it, and feel smug and dudebro and pat themselves on the back.
But that conclusion would be wrong and in need of revision in the future, despite how smug and "adult in the room" they feel about it.

aliens exist

but even if there are intelligent aliens out there, they have almost certainly never visited this planet

>>14873214
>>14870466
• alien life has almost certainly existed at some point prior to now
• given the size of the universe, it's likely there exists primitive life elsewhere in the universe
• there may have been intelligent alien life at some point in the past
• there may be intelligent alien life currently around

but even if there are intelligent aliens out there, they have almost certainly never visited this planet. even if they were looking for other intelligent life, we've been sending out signals for far too short of a time (and they're too weak) to reach any significant distance

>>14875597
Thank you. Someone not so uptight.
I'd entertain the notion that Earth could be extremely unique, in it's combination of conditions that kick and shove life and force it to adapt and drive it toward complexity.
Could be nowhere else has the exact combination of habitable zone + magnetosphere + moon for tidal forces + solar system arrangement that semi-regularly launches asteroids at it, that we have here
Life could get started elsewhere but it isn't tormented enough and it stays simple and boring

>>14875411
I do appreciate the idea of this conspiracy, but it requires you to believe that intelligence agencies not only have way more advanced technology than we know, but technology that essentially breaks physics to do something that could much easier be done with less advanced tech. How powerful would such a projector need to be with our current understanding to work that well in daylight?

>>14875613
I think given the age and size of the universe it is extremely illogical to think that Earth is the only planet with life. Anybody who says that, hasn't studied basic biology/chemistry.

I also think it's likely (but much rarer) that there either are or have been in the past other intelligent life forms, either matching or surpassing us. How high that probability is is probably impossible to tell, since we are looking at n=1 for both planets with life and planets with intelligent life.

However, none of that means aliens have visited us and are hiding from us.

>>14875469

Oh boy, time for some cosmic horror.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_of_evil_(cosmology)


The "axis of evil" is a name given to the apparent correlation between the plane of the Solar System and aspects of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The anomaly appears to give the plane of the Solar System and hence the location of Earth a greater significance than might be expected by chance – a result which has been claimed to be evidence of a departure from the Copernican principle as assumed in the concordance model.

Probably but they're certainly not able to come flying in our sky because they are limited by the same laws oh physics than us. There likely are thousands of inhabited worlds and they're not aware of one another. Nobody in the universe knows we're here.

We have no way of knowing how probable the creation of life is. The great filter could have been many filters of our past. Even with the vastness of the universe, if life forms are unlikely enough to form, we could be pretty lonely.

>>14881356
Research published just a couple months ago showed that RNA molecules can form spontaneously from non-living fluids interacting with volcanic glass.
A clue that it might not be that hard for life to get started, and it doesn't take much more than volcanic glass, a temperature range allowing for liquid water, and tidal forces or something else to generate motion

>>14879248
Sure, we are seeing extremely well-structured and mature galaxies assuming the mainstream 13.8 billion year mark, not to mention the contradictory chemical compositions and lack of predicted celestial objects.

All of these factors extend evolutionary models to their absolute limits, breaking many. Creationist (specifically young earth) predicted exactly everything Webb is finding. As usual, creationist predictions are vindicated when we actually acquire empirical and observational evidence regarding the subject.

We witnessed the same thing with ENCODE and all of the evo bios denying 80%+ genomic functionality with their "chemical activity doesn't mean function" cope. Hopefully you don't get sucked into the denialist mantra of "this just meen we needuh modifeye our modools".

Stay tuned brother, it will only get worse for you from here :).

>>14879248
Also, don't just read the headline and auto accept everything scientist tell you. Those "jwst captures x billion year old galaxy" are just using current CE models. They literally have no other choice than to stick with current big bang cosmology and the ages assigned.

Actually look into the model of cosmic evolution and why JWST is a problem for the "dark epoch" and come to your own conclusions.

It wouldn't be too surprising if it turned out that yes we are. Or at least we are the only ones around right now.

We're the only ones.

>>14887826
>every single bit of research studying the possibility of aliens comes up empty,
How much of the universe do we have the capability to scan for Human-level life? We wouldn't be able to detect a general, non-directed radio signal from a human-level civilization from our closest star 4.4 light years away. We simply don't have enough information to say what you said.

Nevermind the ability to find primitive life, which we have no way of detecting on planets outside of our solar system.

Or the fact that there are trillions of planets in our galaxy and trillions of galaxies like it. There is a high likelihood there is life out there, but we haven't found it yet.

This. It's like he thinks the only thing that can possibly count as life is a technological civilization that emits signals and makes itself obvious.
Someone more than 110 light years from Earth could observe our solar system and conclude there there is no life here, because they're not detecting signals and maybe their telescopes aren't super advanced. But that conclusion would be wrong.

Actually, let me correct that. We don't have the capability to thoroughly scan most of our own solar system for life. This includes close, "easy" planets like Mars and even moreso for harder places like Europa.

>>14889101
>>14888579
We do theoretically have ways of detecting non-technological life on exoplanets, by searching for the wavelengths emitted by things like an oxygen buildup. This is still pretty limited though, where a positive reading would merely be a clue that MAYBE there is life there, which would take decades minimum to go and confirm.
Plus our ability to detect exoplanets is still heavily biased in favor of gas giants where life is less likely

>>14889233
And this is assuming other life out there plays by our familiar rules, that it's also carbon based and uses liquid water etc etc. If it's a different type of biochemistry then we just don't know what to look for

>>14889233
>>14889234
My understanding of that technology is it's still fairly limited to super large planets, like gas giants, which wouldn't be a good candidate anyway. So it wouldn't be good at finding Earth-like planets, nevermind smaller bodies like Europa which could contain life.

On the topic of Europa, it probably wouldn't do much to find places like that which have little atmosphere but pockets of opportunity for life to exist.
