(1,480 posts)I don't write in run-on sentences; I try to get my point across more succinctly. I guess sometimes that sounds rude. I am also prior military, an electronics technician, so I'm familiar with how equipment works.
And I'm not dismissive. If you'd read all my posts on this thread, you'll see that I am open to any valid explanation.
I suppose, at this point, I should come right out and say that I don't think modern UFOs are piloted by extraterrestrials. But that doesn't mean the case is closed. One of my thoughts is that these are experimental craft from other nations. There is good evidence that the Nazis were building anti-gravity machines. I have read one book that claims a prototype, lab equipment and technical papers were confiscated by the Soviets after the war. Seventy years of technological advancement could produce what we're seeing now. It's a thought, anyway. (To be honest, the idea that the Russians might be wantonly violating our airspace is more frightening to me than any ET.)
As to equipment functionality, I do disagree with you. Many sightings are visual, made by pilots and other crewmembers. Modern aircraft cameras are extremely reliable; it's not like we're looking at a blip on a 1940s radar screen or a spot of light in the darkness. We're looking at actual daytime video of a moving object taken over many minutes. This, IMO, is something that shouldn't be ignored. The Pentagon and the Navy agree with me on that.
