OP, they are Unidentified Flying Objects. Doesn't mean their aliens though.

If a civilization was advanced to travel across light years of space, they would already have invisibility. Shit nigger, even we have done it, and we can't even make it to fucking Mars yet.

Assuming aliens, there is the possibility that they have invisibility technology, but want to be seen anyways.

They're a highly intelligent species capable of interstellar travel, yet they only choose to pull pranks on us every once in a while, flashin' some lights or making a crop circle. Sounds plausible.

Some rock entered the atmosphere, got really hot, thus split into 3 pieces. those are getting really hot, causing them to lose mass which drastically lowers their speed. when their mass is approaching lower and lower figures they start to hover, probably caused by some jetstreams keeping the fragments in the air. when the fire's burned out, the lights dim. as easy as that.

[Anonymous No.1904424]

So it split into 3 part of equal mass?
As all three parts stopped at the same time.

'jetstreams' managed to stop an object that must have been travelling at hundreds of miles an hour and then keep all 3 parts in the same place?

you have a personal problem, possibly psychological if aliens are a reality in your life. of course they might exist, but if a youtube video and a schizo story are enough to convince you, i'm sorry for how frustrating life must be.

The other images look pretty good, accept for the lighting in some that looks too perfectly balanced against the brighter background sky.
The bottom should be darker, light the trees.

[Anonymous No.1904701]

Okay posting images of the alien artifact now.

It's supposed to be some kind of gravity manipulation device.

The two semi-circular objects go into a mode described as a "Rigid Spatial Relationship", where "An RSR can be thought of as creating an 'implicit solid' between two or more constituent parts separated by empty space. Once in effect, these constituent parts behave as if they are directly and physically linked, and are completely inseparable by pulling or pushing them in opposing directions."

He describes that this is what holds the UFO's together, rather than using rivets or welds.

I liked the stuff on their language:

Their hardware wasn’t operated in quite the same way as ours. In our technology, even today, we have a combination of hardware and software running almost everything on the planet. Software is more abstract than hardware, but ultimately it needs hardware to run it. In other words, there’s no way to write a computer program on a piece of paper, set that piece of paper on a table or something, and expect it to actually do something. The most powerful code in the world still doesn’t actually do anything until a piece of hardware interprets it and translates its commands into actions.

But their technology is different. It really did operate like the magical piece of paper sitting on a table, in a manner of speaking. They had something akin to a language, that could quite literally execute itself, at least in the presence of a very specific type of field. The language, a term I am still using very loosely, is a system of symbols (which does admittedly very much resemble a written language) along with geometric forms and patterns that fit together to form diagrams that are themselves functional. Once they are drawn, so to speak, on a suitable surface made of a suitable material and in the presence of a certain type of field, they immediately begin performing the desired tasks. It really did seem like magic to us, even after we began to understand the principles behind it.

[Anonymous No.1904769]

Linguistfag here. The symbols and what I can assume are numerals on those pages and photos are arranged in a far too Earth-like manner.

[снайпер No.1904781]

>>1904765
First of all, you wouldn't open up their hardware to find a CPU here, and a data bus there, and some kind of memory over there. Their hardware appeared to be perfectly solid and consistent in terms of material from one side to the other. Like a rock or a hunk of metal. But upon [much] closer inspection, we began to learn that it was actually one big holographic computational substrate - each "computational element" (essentially individual particles) can function independently, but are designed to function together in tremendously large clusters. I say its holographic because you can divide it up into the smallest chunks you want and still find a scaled-down but complete representation of the whole system. They produce a nonlinear computational output when grouped. So 4 elements working together is actually more than 4 times more powerful than 1. Most of the internal "matter" in their crafts (usually everything but the outermost housing) is actually this substrate and can contribute to computation at any time and in any state. The shape of these "chunks" of substrate also had a profound effect on its functionality, and often served as a "shortcut" to achieve a goal that might otherwise be more complex.

[снайпер No.1904787]

>>1904781
So back to the language. The language is actually a "functional blueprint". The forms of the shapes, symbols and arrangements thereof is itself functional. What makes it all especially difficult to grasp is that every element of each "diagram" is dependant on and related to every other element, which means no single detail can be created, removed or modified independently. Humans like written language because each element of the language can be understood on its own, and from this, complex expressions can be built. However, their "language" is entirely context-sensitive, which means that a given symbol could mean as little as a 1-bit flag in one context, or, quite literally, contain the entire human genome or a galaxy star map in another. The ability for a single, small symbol to contain, not just represent, tremendous amounts of data is another counter-intuitive aspect of this concept. We quickly realized that even working in groups of 10 or more on the simplest of diagrams, we found it virtually impossible to get anything done. As each new feature was added, the complexity of the diagram exponentially grew to unmanageable proportions. For this reason we began to develop computer-based systems to manage these details and achieved some success, although again we found that a threshold was quickly reached beyond which even the supercomputers of the day were unable to keep up.

>>1904787
Our entire system of language is based on the idea of assigning meaning to symbols. Their technology, however, somehow merges the symbol and the meaning, so a subjective audience is not needed. You can put whatever meaning you want on the symbols, but their behavior and functionality will not change, any more than a transistor will function differently if you give it another name.

Here's an example of how complex the process is. Imagine I ask you to incrementally add random words to a list such that no two words use any of the same letters, and you must perform this exercise entirely in your head, so you can't rely on a computer or even a pen and paper. If the first in the list was, say, "fox", the second item excludes all words with the letters F, O and X. If the next word you choose is "tree", then the third word in the list can't have the letters F, O, X, T, R, or E in it. As you can imagine, coming up with even a third word might start to get just a bit tricky, especially since you can't easily visualize the excluded letters by writing down the words. By the time you get to the fourth, fifth and sixth words, the problem has spiraled out of control. Now imagine trying to add the billionth word to the list (imagine also that we're working with an infinite alphabet so you don't run out of letters) and you can imagine how difficult it is for even a computer to keep up.

fan-fiction, probably.

It's a cool enough concept that I'm probably going to end up using it for some sci-fi RPG's/worldbuilding. Maybe offer it as an idea to the guy doing the EP/ME crossover as some Reaper or TITAN AI technology.
