I just want transparency. And healthcare. Not necessarily in that order.

Yeah, the orbs are reportedly semi-transparent.

So, Kirkpatrick himself is saying there's a "there" there now? And it's either alien or foreign, and then he says no evidence it's foreign? Am I reading this correctly? Maybe he's spilling the beans now that he's leaving idk.

Sounds interesting but maybe someone else can say why this might be BS or I'm over thinking it.

His personal remarks have been clashing with his remarks through AARO. Also note that there is the seldom talked about group AAROExec, with is a group of undisclosed individuals that oversee AARO including Kirkpatrick. His actions and statements in AARO may be swayed or dictated by AAROExec. Like a lot of the UAP topic, it comes down to a lack of transparency which makes it difficult to tell which statements are genuine.

I would posit a 3rd possibility:

We already know our solar system is kind of at the ass-end of the Milky Way and distances to get here are VAST. So any intelligence with the capacity to get here would likely find little of actual interest here.

So what advanced technology WOULD have a vested interest in a) studying our culture and b) maintaining as little interference as possible?

Future humans. Somebody cracked time travel and, like good scientists, are studying their ancestors. Just like we use archaeology and paleontology.

Want a good , but long, read. Try this. I don’t know what to think about it.

This is a surprisingly well cited opinion piece from The Hill. Practically every paragraph has multiple citations linked, which can lead you down a rabbit hole in the subject of UAPs.

I stopped reading when they said that there is two "extraordinary" possibilities. A foreign nation doing surveillance or tests is not extraordinary ffs, it's almost the definition of something being ordinary. Again, it's all conjecture, no evidence of anything. Thrash article.

[–] HM05_Me@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You stopped reading at the first paragraph, but you're judging the whole article as trash? And, I think it's fair to say that a foreign nation having technology that is advanced beyond our current understanding or expectations to be extraordinary. Extraordinary doesn't need to be some whimsical expectation, there are extraordinary feats by humans all the time.

A foreign nation doing surveillance or tests is not extraordinary ffs, it’s almost the definition of something being ordinary.

The fact that they would do it and the US couldn't identify it as such would be extraordinary. Also, the entire article is heavily cited from actual government documents so whatever dude.
