Technically by real science standards, Astrophysics does not study life in other worlds. That would be Astrobiology. So, by science standards, he should not be talking about the topic.
So there is no scientific evidence for UFOs, just as there is no evidence for the existence of dark matter and strings in space. So what have all these people seen for 90 years? What is in all these photos and videos? What did Commander Fravore and the other pilots see? What did a hundred children see at Ariel School in Zimbabwe? What about the work of scientists from Ukraine from 2022 "Unidentified aerial phenomena I. Observations of events"?
All the leaders of this world always new this was real but they denied it for over 70 years, now they are acting all surprised as if this is new, they are trying to do that because for over 70 years people were ridiculed for saying they or saw a UFO or were abducted , and politicians and media always denied it as if the person was crazy , not only the person suffered the abduction but also the ridicule and shame because people didn't believe them, the politicians and media think that acting as if this is new suddenly erases what has happened in the past and their cover up, in this world their are two types of human , the good ones and the bad ones , and its the same in the entire creation, you have good aliens and bad ones .the question would be which one has contacted your governments of this planet ,and looking at all the wars, hunger and sickness around this planet we could clearly see who's in control. And for over 70 years the deniers of the UFO sightings that keep saying that it could be human made technology well do some research . In our recent history humans have been reporting this since de 1940 and they have always explained the same movement patterns of these UFO, that means that if today 2024 the military has accepted these UFO video as real, well what humans saw back in the 40s was real, which means the technology is 70 to 80 years advanced. Now if this was human created technology from another country with 70 to 80 years advanced and was existing since the 40s, wouldn't that country had not conquered the world already?, they would have easily destroyed any military force . But they want us to think that these UFO are human created technology and that they are still testing it since the 40s and still today not using it in any wars or as comercial flights. For many years i have always seen these humans that are interviewed on the subject say the same thing, UFO could be secret experimental crafts from another country, i say NO they are not , for the reason i gave above in my text, Do i know what they are, no, but its clear that they are not human created technology, because humans are always creating wars, and any country that had this since the 40s would have conquered this world . ( give it that they were testing it in the 40s , lets give them 10 years to perfect that technology , (that i think is a lot of time) , it would have been perfected by the 50s ,so that country would have since the 50s till today a 70 year advanced tech, but still today no government has ever used it for any war, still people say it could be human created technology. First airplane flight was in 1903, shortly after that flight test, in war they were used in 1911, and the first passenger flight was in 1914, in just 11 years they went from 1903 to 1914 and the human created technology called airplane was being used for passnger flights to make money and used in wars to destroy and conquer, ask yourself why these UFO that were also human created technology as they say, have not been used for passengers or war 70 years latter.?
I hate when scientists say they're open to investigating UAP/UFO, but when they talk at length about the phenomenon, they act smug and laugh at their own strawmen. Nobody knows for sure that uap don't want to be seen, that's an assumption. Almost every pilot interviewed about their sightings say it seems like they want to make themselves known, at least on a small scale.
I can guarantee those ones are man made. You should check out the disclosure project intelligence archive. I've seen more evidence there than any other source. They do hold some back to protect people whose families may be in danger, but you'll find more there than anywhere else.
Exactly. As humans we have such an ego. There have been way too many sightings current and in the past, since the 1930’s and before. People just don’t realize how far this rabbit hole goes. The government has done a great job with trying to stigmatize this topic.
It frustrating listening to people like that. It means he has taken seriously or studied UAP incidents like in Brazil where there were dozens of witnesses, all the navy pilots who regularly seen UAPs are all these people lying? I can't help but think that if we were to get irrefutable proof of UAPs , these scientitsts will be out of business, SETI will become useless...
So according to this method, if a giant mothership the size of a city showed up above NYC for five minutes and then disappeared we would say it wasn't tested by the top scientists so it could be anything?
In this scenario where it hovers over NYC for five minutes, are there super clear pictures and videos people take of it on their camera phones, or is the best visual evidence of some black and white ovals and lines from an instrument reading?
its not irrational, its a moment, a experience, something that has had an affect on your person. to say it is fact, axiomatically, scientifically, experientially is different. we have to work on these principles rather than anecdotes to further our understanding. not be closed minded to throw these out, not be too open minded to let anything in
@@J4tendoyIgnoring all the visual data - the photos and videos, not even bringing that up as if that doesn't exist. That's just deliberate lying and attempting to twist the narrative.
I find it funny when I hear this man talking about if we were to find signs of life on another planet we would do all we can to send probes and in time try to go there. But can’t seem to get his head around the idea of others doing the same with us 😂😂.
The point is that just because other could, doesn't mean they do. That's the point of applying the type of standards and evidence that we would expect of one another. I am 100% sure he could wrap his head around the idea. Ideas aren't enough though, and the average person can't seem to wrap their heads around that.
@@michaelbyrne9246 its more insidious then that. If he talks about aliens being on earth he will be ostracized in the scientific community. But there is another thing that I had explained to me the other day and I thought it was pretty insightful. Aliens coming to earth is fundamentally not a scientific problem. Science can only be correctly done if the scientist is the most intelligent being in the experiment with aliens that obviously isnt true. All the rules/methodologies of science break down and there isnt anything left to do. Aliens being on earth is a military/civilian intelligence issue.
I hate it when “scientists” patronise “normal people” by kindly explaining to us how logic works. We know. We know because literally everyone uses the basic principles of science. Science isn’t reserved to people who research, it’s part of how normal human beings interact with the world. There is an arrogance to the field that stinks and I think it actually leads to pride which is poisonous to objectivity. Any student of the philosophy of science will tell you that science is not anywhere near as objective as it is claimed. We must temper it with humility and open mindedness
I’m not sure this guy understands the topic fully. He is referring to standards of evidence, but when you look at the hierarchy of the evidence chart - expert opinion and claims made by authorities are still on that chart. I wish Lex would’ve pushed him on this claim. What does he want, a double blind placebo study that’s peer reviewed? If you have thousands of pilots reporting UAP, hundreds if not thousands of whistleblowers, and a 100 year long conspiracy on this issue - you can’t say that’s not evidence. It may not be the type of evidence that personally convinces you, but you can’t say there’s nothing there. The topic of UAP and NHI has left the UFOLOGY department and has now been moved to high ranking government officials whistleblowing black projects and UAP retrieval programs. That’s not nothing.
It's just swamp gas. I mean drones. I mean plasma. I mean Iran. Blinking lights. We don't know what it is, but we know you don't know what it is, because we know what it isn't, and that's anything we don't want it to be. Nothing to see here, move along.
but wheres the plausible motivation from these supposed advanced species for first contact? You think they just the one species? Lets say its just one, then youre talking of thousands of visits whereby they show up, get seen then piss off 100yr game of hide and seek
Dean Radin has proved,by level "sigma 5" that telekinesis is real ! But nobody received a Nobel prize in his team !!!🤨 My wife and I have seen paranormal activity, poltergeists phenomenons, twice !
He contradicts himself here. In the full podcast, he says aliens probably have a completely different mind set than us and that it would be impossible to understand their intentions... Yet, he assumes that if they are trying to hide from us and doing a bad job at it, it makes no sense? Well yeah, we just don’t understand their intentions or the diversity of their races an technology.
if aliens turn out to be real and on earth imagine the damage these people will do to science as a whole. There will be a tidal wave of people who no longer trust scientists because they told the public what they were seeing and experiencing wasnt real. It might take generations before that damage is reversed.
Its very annoying to me the number of Astrophysicists who are so damn close minded and ignorant to the claims being made by people like David Grush, Cmdr David Fravor, Ryan Graves, etc. From what I've seen and heard, these guys are typically very smug in their response, lack the data, lack the clearance for the crucial data, and yet provide an answer like they can easily explain it away.
The guest: I will ignore all data that I don’t understand…I will not dig deeper or look at the bigger picture, and instead I will only process data which can be presented to me in a way that I understand in the way that I was taught. Therefore it is not real. At the same time my prior conclusions are all wrong based on new the data from James Webb.

@@Qantum_Hobbit if no one is a trained observer other than scientists all we have is a new type of religion.. anecdotal evidence is very important for the topic of ufo's considering the fact we arent really capable of trapping a highly advanced species and dragging them onto the 6 oclock news. as far as stuff hidden by the government gook luck in getting those materials into the public eye. so the ball is in the court of the extraterrestrials and they will make the decision of how, when, and why disclosure occurs. we dont need to rely on scientists or government for these answers. all we have to do is keep doing what we are doing and wait
@@Qantum_Hobbit Sure, thats scary if almost all pilost hallusinate when they fly. That is what they say they saw. Maybe all of them the eat mushrooms before flight...
The one thing I hate about scientist is they will just throw out their opinion without even looking into the evidence that is available, especially if it’s about a taboo subject like UFOs
This is an idiotic comment, Elizondo only ever said that because he went to DOPSR to get his stuff released, and writing a book was the easiest way to say all of that so people could understand it better.
The first step is to not ignore the evidence. The Tic Tac encounter provided lots of evidence. It was detected by newly deployed radar which was suspected of malfunctioning because it recorded movement that wasn't thought to be possible. As a result aircraft were sent to investigate. They found an object at that location, and the pilots observed that it moved in extraordinary ways. A third plane recorded the object on its gun camera. Pilots from at least three planes witnessed the object, and the ship's radar operator recorded its movement. It was a real object with an unknown propulsion system that allowed it to move in ways that are beyond our current technology. The evidence suggests an unknown technology, and if there are no indications that such technology is within our grasp, then a possibility does exist that it belongs to a non-human intelligence.
Plutarch of Chaeronea, 74 BCE, before the battle between the armies of Lukullus and Mithridates VI in Asia. "A large object in the sky between the armies appeared in flames, in the shape of a wine vessel (pithos) and in molten silver colour" Pliny the Elder, 76 BCE, "the flame of the star’s fire was to be seen in the sky, which fell to the size of the moon as it fell. Then he ascended back to heaven and transformed into light"
The problem with these kinds of discussions is that the guy being interviewed has all sorts of assumptions which aren't related to the actual cases we have. Agreed that it is a leap to "ET" before establishing what UFOs are, but that just ignores answering the question, 'What are UFOs?" This kind of discussion prevents analysis of the actual cases, like the hundreds of Range Fouler Reports where military pilots have recently had to cancel missions due to interference by anomalous objects. Asking astrophysicists about things seen using IR and radar at 30,000 ft is about as useful as asking fighter pilots about exo-planets.
They get offended at hypothesis. There's nothing wrong coming up with possibilities. Actually they don't know what a hypothesis is. Or a theory. It's just religion to them, not a process.
the very second I hear "book" "my book" etc. I am instantly turned off and no longer interested because at the end of the day these peoples primary interest is selling their book and nothing else.
I don’t understand, what’s wrong with that? Scientists, thinkers, etc have written down and published and promoted their thoughts and ideas worth spreading for millennia … why are you against books exactly?
Part of the deal on appearing might be the opportunity to plug. Keeps the costs reasonable and shares more sources of information for those who are interested.
@@brndn2208 As opposed to what? You wanna mainline raw scientific data? Isn’t every book only really the author’s opinion? Plato, Newton, Darwin, Kant, the writers of the Bible, Torah etc “just wrote a book”, which is “only really their opinion”… shouldn’t we see it as a wonderful and positive thing, that smart and informed opinions are committed to word and disseminated? Given this man’s obvious academic pedigree and experience and expertise in his field, should we not value his opinion? And if not, why even watch this video? I am so confused rn, I feel like I’m in a fever dream. Is this some kind of new anti-intellectual evolution of humanity lol, all this hate against books and “people’s opinions”
Yes of course becase Capt. Fravor and a multitude of other instruments/pilots detected balloons and swamp gas that can move feom 0 to thousands of knots in seconds. Yep lets diregard those people ..
This is the thing that just kills me when I hear NDT or this guy going on about scientific rigor. The billions of dollars invested in the U.S. detection apparatus, built for the sake of winning wars/and or staying TECHNOLOGICALLY ahead of our adversaries. Countless man hours of SCIENCE and engineering have been sunk into these systems. But no...we definitely can't think that our expensive, state of the art radars, infrared, and other various detection systems are actually working as designed. Guess they're just all bugged and useless. What a shame. *Shrugs*
People are suppose to be "hyper critical" of science why is no one questioning this guy. Who said they live on other planets and not on some "space station" and who said they don't want to be seen. This guy is making so many assumptions, he sounds like a clown.
“We need to look on alien planets because that’s where they live” - makes assumptions and then calls out others for doing the same. Are you sure this guy is a critical thinker ?

Disclosure already happenned if you know where to look. The questions already shifted from whether they are real to more advanced topics. Please do "wait for evidence" though, as it's really entertaining to see people waiting :)
Waiting on Governments to tell the masses that aliens are real makes about as much sense as an orphan waiting for their parents to tell them Santa Claus isn't real.
UFO’s “bore” him, but he becomes “more than agnostic” after reading a “science fiction novel”. That’s as far as I can get into this clip. Good luck, everyone.
How so? Feel free to explain in detail.. pretty sure the MRNA vaccines were tested through trials and the science behind them is very sound and very well known.
To be clear your position on it would’ve been to wait 5 years as with any other vaccination…? Should be thanking Trump and operation warp speed that he’s so proud of… but his supporters choose to ignore that part…… along with so many other things lol
After my sighting in February 1997, of two car size UFO's putting on the most incredible display of light show and flight manoeuvres that no 'known' conventional craft can do, even the best developed drones of today. I can categorically say that their is a technology far advanced that what mainstream science tells us is possible. These craft performed perfect, high speed, right angle turns and much more. This was only 400-500ft above my head. Aliens, I have no idea? but whoever operates them has superior knowledge of mainstream science when it comes to 'flight'.
First signal is being aware. That’s the prime objective of UAPs, to be seen and have our culture be aware. We won’t be able to have communication when we deny they exist.
Fair enough, what he didn't say was you can not know what this phenomenon is but can still study it in depth, many scientists did, despite the derision of their foolish peers.
What is Adam's assessment of the data from the 2004 Nimitz incident? Does Adam believe scientists like him have received all the sensor data from all the interesting incidents from the government?
He is ignoring all the sensory data, radar, video, photo and anecdotal evidence collected from that event. The US government has so much classified information relating to UAP that these "scientists" refuse to accept.
Since there's no proof what the objects are we can't say they are alien craft. But he can say they're not alien craft. How about proving what they are before concluding what they're not.
This guy says he wants “detectors” yet the US Military literally has records of video, infrared, radar, sonar, and multiple eye witnesses all confirming the same objects moving at speeds and maneuvering in ways we cannot…. This guy is asleep.
The problem with his approach is that there are very trusted people saying the DoD is withholding everything he lists that he says is required to make extraordinary claims.
There's a few things to unpack here. First one being ones hubris or ego... it always seems comes down to a nerdy guy possibly never good with the ladies that is just very good and one specific area and wants to own that because that's his football game and he is not willing to listen or accept anybody else's opinion because he thinks he knows best based on what information he's been given or decided to research.. The second thing is being an expert in a field does not necessarily mean overall intelligence to understand things holistically, case in point there's a lot of people that are on the Spectrum or autistic that are mathematical wonders but they don't have the EQ or the wherewithal to know how to navigate themselves out of a precarious social situation or know how to mitigate career moves or even understand what the right types of food they should eat to keep themselves healthy. That's the case in point for this person being interviewed... I don't know much about his background but the first take away is he's clearly a skeptic and biased and he seems to be very misinformed or uninformed on all the evidence that we have now... a UAP by definition has to represent certain characteristics that one of them being an observable of technology that we don't have at least known to the public.. So when you have something traveling from 80,000 ft in the air which is the edge of space down to 50 ft obve the ocean in less than a second.. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say it's most likely not man-made technology.. all these flashing orbs all the humongous crafts that have been seen, not to mention very highly respected people from Highly Educated people in Academia and also other organizations and Fields, including high-ranking military people that have claimed ti have seen non-human biologics.. if the person being interviewed is simply saying it's not alien technology well then how did humans have this technology and how have they been able to keep it under wrap for almost a century at this point.. I don't disagree that some of it is not government secret technology but to just brazenly and obstinately disregard it as it's definitely not alien technology just seems to be a bit biased and ignorant to say the least..
The fact that he does not consider the possibility that visitors might be leaving ship debris deliberately to observe how we react shows that he has not thought about it deeply.
Exactly......what about the ufos clearly painted in multiple Renaissance paintings. A lot of those artists were very intelligent. They saw they painted. DaVinci has compelling art as well on this subject.
3 Scientists arguing about what type of tracks they had stumbled across were just ran over by the train..... Believe your eyes and trust your gut, but never forget to pray!
Mr. Frank is obviously very sophisticated when it comes to astrophysics and understanding the scientific method and the rigors necessary to verify claims, e.g., extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, but he seems childlike in understanding foreign policy. He doesn't recognize that the chances these UAPs with extremely advanced technology are from some peer adversary, e.g., Russia or China, are infinitesimal. The CIA and other intelligence services make sure they have a good understanding of the technological levels of those peer adversaries, so there is no way they can send over swarms of UAPs that can defeat US surveillance technology. So that leaves us with the possibilities they are from the US military or a government contractor or they are aliens. If Frank is right that the chances they are aliens are infinitesimal, then that leaves us with the US military or a government contractor.
Just thinking out loud here, but I’m seeing so many different claims stating how impossible it is for anyone to travel far enough or fast enough to actually reach alien civilizations(physical limitations, universe expansion etc), but then we keep saying that we should look up and try to see them? Why don’t we go with our knowledge and look elsewhere? What if they are actually traveling from within? Just seems like we’ve learned a thing or two, but we’re not leveraging the knowledge we’ve gathered.
I have seen paranormal activity myself. Poltergeists phenomenons, light goes on and objects move alone, like from an invisible hand. My jeans flipped 1 meter in the air. Another time there was a 28 kg heavy metal piece of a roentgen apparatus that was standing on a commode as decoration/memory, this heavy chunk of metal began to move slowly until it falls to the ground in big boom . Each time it happens as my wife and I were sad ,first time homesick and the 2nd time as our dog died. I swear it is true ✋😑. So many things we don't understand. Bonjour de France les amis ✌😉👍🇫🇷
Ik I’m being hard on him and I get where he’s coming from with the analogy but comparing poking around the universe for life to going to nebraska to find someone that is nebrask-ian is a wild comparison lol I would think the undiscovered parts of our oceans have a better chance of having intelligent alien life than a very large percentage of the universe.
The discussion explores the potential forms of alien life, emphasizing the innovative nature of life itself. It suggests that understanding life beyond our traditional views could be transformative.
One of the highest ranked pentagon members comes out and says: "Trans-Dimensional visitors have been here for thousands of years" Scientist: Theres no proof. Thought our scientists were supposed to be better then this.
Russian President, 🇺🇸Presidents have said it without saying it...most highly decorated Astronauts& Cosmonauts, etc etc the list goes on. Belgian President as well think Brazilian, Chilean government have all confirmed Ets are 💯here.
I'd like to hear a scientist talk about UAPs in more depth. I think this type of perspective is too agnostic or avoids acknowledging their existence too much. Do you have any other clip suggestions?
These standards of evidence work for some things but I have a feeling the actual standards inhibit some areas of thought and acceptance .To dismiss what people are seeing for acceptance of standards is like saying well the sightings dont align to our standards so its all mirages ,errors ,and other things like secret military experiments.
This guy is the worst scientist ever. We’ve spent hundreds if not, thousands of years building boats and are way more advanced than any creature on earth yet boats sink all the time even today. This guy would probably say “how is that possible”?
I think this guys the wrong guy on this topic he’s so disconnected it’s frustrating 🤨 “if they don’t wanna be seeing they suck at it” they actually rot. Suck at it cause we still haven’t seen be clearly 💡
@@Canada_Matt He didn't say he can't make a wholly logical judgment. He said he DOESNT BELIEVE because he wants to believe. It's absolutely ridiculous. You're changing it to make it sound less ridiculous. You can recognize the potential for cognitive bias or subjectivity, but that doesn't mean you change your theories or beliefs because of that potential. Scientific method: You theorize first, and many scientists believe in their theories before even investigating. They don't then say "Well, I had this theory, and then I realized I wanted it to be true, so I no longer have that theory." Ridiculous.
One time (one) a white light caught my eye, it looked to be travelling west and with an elevated slant in altitude, next, the dot travelled in a star shape (down, up, down,sudeways, up, down and pow) off to the left into the beyond in a super speed way. Wild. That was my experience this day, August 81.
It’s scientists like this guy who still question why humans and animals yawn, and it cannot simply be that we yawn because we’re sleepy, but there has to be some sort of evolutionary development from maybe an ancient way of breathing or communicating, when the simple answer is that we yawn when we are sleepy.
The simple answer is not the full answer. There is still likely an evolutionary reason for it, so your comment doesnt make sense unless you're saying we shouldn't explore things and should just accept them at face value without fully understanding them. This guy is pretty closed-minded but your comment doesnt make sense.
This conversation reinforces the argument that if someone has access to high quality evidence they need to release it, cost to self be damned. If there really are aliens among us, the person who reveals it might endure ridicule and imprisonment, but it will be short lived. They will become one of the most famous people in history.
Dr Richard Haines had so many written documents on this subject with countless interviews of pilots that it’s hard for me to digest that it’s our technology and not extraterrestrial.
The Greg Bear novel that dealt with Aliens "Faking us out" was primarily The Forge of God and its sequel Anvil of Stars, but I often wonder if it's just other people, in power "faking us out"

I love when scientist make extreme assumptions while telling other people they are making assumptions.
Technically by real science standards, Astrophysics does not study life in other worlds.
That would be Astrobiology. So, by science standards, he should not be talking about the topic.
So there is no scientific evidence for UFOs, just as there is no evidence for the existence of dark matter and strings in space. So what have all these people seen for 90 years? What is in all these photos and videos? What did Commander Fravore and the other pilots see? What did a hundred children see at Ariel School in Zimbabwe? What about the work of scientists from Ukraine from 2022 "Unidentified aerial phenomena I. Observations of events"?
All the leaders of this world always new this was real but they denied it for over 70 years, now they are acting all surprised as if this is new, they are trying to do that because for over 70 years people were ridiculed for saying they or saw a UFO or were abducted , and politicians and media always denied it as if the person was crazy , not only the person suffered the abduction but also the ridicule and shame because people didn't believe them, the politicians and media think that acting as if this is new suddenly erases what has happened in the past and their cover up, in this world their are two types of human , the good ones and the bad ones , and its the same in the entire creation, you have good aliens and bad ones .the question would be which one has contacted your governments of this planet ,and looking at all the wars, hunger and sickness around this planet we could clearly see who's in control.
And for over 70 years the deniers of the UFO sightings that keep saying that it could be human made technology well do some research .
In our recent history humans have been reporting this since de 1940 and they have always explained the same movement patterns of these UFO, that means that if today 2024 the military has accepted these UFO video as real, well what humans saw back in the 40s was real, which means the technology is 70 to 80 years advanced. Now if this was human created technology from another country with 70 to 80 years advanced and was existing since the 40s, wouldn't that country had not conquered the world already?, they would have easily destroyed any military force .
But they want us to think that these UFO are human created technology and that they are still testing it since the 40s and still today not using it in any wars or as comercial flights.
For many years i have always seen these humans that are interviewed on the subject say the same thing, UFO could be secret experimental crafts from another country, i say NO they are not , for the reason i gave above in my text,
Do i know what they are, no, but its clear that they are not human created technology, because humans are always creating wars, and any country that had this since the 40s would have conquered this world . ( give it that they were testing it in the 40s , lets give them 10 years to perfect that technology , (that i think is a lot of time) , it would have been perfected by the 50s ,so that country would have since the 50s till today a 70 year advanced tech, but still today no government has ever used it for any war, still people say it could be human created technology.
First airplane flight was in 1903, shortly after that flight test, in war they were used in 1911, and the first passenger flight was in 1914, in just 11 years they went from 1903 to 1914 and the human created technology called airplane was being used for passnger flights to make money and used in wars to destroy and conquer, ask yourself why these UFO that were also human created technology as they say, have not been used for passengers or war 70 years latter.?
@@GammaScorpio thats right.
I hate when scientists say they're open to investigating UAP/UFO, but when they talk at length about the phenomenon, they act smug and laugh at their own strawmen. Nobody knows for sure that uap don't want to be seen, that's an assumption. Almost every pilot interviewed about their sightings say it seems like they want to make themselves known, at least on a small scale.
I can guarantee those ones are man made. You should check out the disclosure project intelligence archive. I've seen more evidence there than any other source. They do hold some back to protect people whose families may be in danger, but you'll find more there than anywhere else.
@@bra-o-bra yes, it could be our own or it could be "all of the above." We don't know enough.
Exactly. As humans we have such an ego. There have been way too many sightings current and in the past, since the 1930’s and before. People just don’t realize how far this rabbit hole goes. The government has done a great job with trying to stigmatize this topic.
It frustrating listening to people like that. It means he has taken seriously or studied UAP incidents like in Brazil where there were dozens of witnesses, all the navy pilots who regularly seen UAPs are all these people lying?
I can't help but think that if we were to get irrefutable proof of UAPs , these scientitsts will be out of business, SETI will become useless...
Absolutely. I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed that. I always assumed science was meant for open minded people.
So according to this method, if a giant mothership the size of a city showed up above NYC for five minutes and then disappeared we would say it wasn't tested by the top scientists so it could be anything?
Exactly
Best way to convince people that something doesn’t exist 😉🤓 also how you manage to perpetuate a lie for decades lol
100%, they would say it was mass hysteria or a shared hallucination caused by too much media hype or something.
In this scenario where it hovers over NYC for five minutes, are there super clear pictures and videos people take of it on their camera phones, or is the best visual evidence of some black and white ovals and lines from an instrument reading?
@@craigrussell3062 Either way it's more evidence than we need to prosecute and convict in the courts.
Saying what you see is not irrational, ignoring what you see is irrational.
its not irrational, its a moment, a experience, something that has had an affect on your person. to say it is fact, axiomatically, scientifically, experientially is different. we have to work on these principles rather than anecdotes to further our understanding. not be closed minded to throw these out, not be too open minded to let anything in
@@J4tendoyIgnoring all the visual data - the photos and videos, not even bringing that up as if that doesn't exist. That's just deliberate lying and attempting to twist the narrative.
@@vishusharma1180 I’m with you man
Just hold our horses so to speak
@@J4tendoy No. We're just going to leave you behind.
I find it funny when I hear this man talking about if we were to find signs of life on another planet we would do all we can to send probes and in time try to go there. But can’t seem to get his head around the idea of others doing the same with us 😂😂.
The point is that just because other could, doesn't mean they do. That's the point of applying the type of standards and evidence that we would expect of one another. I am 100% sure he could wrap his head around the idea. Ideas aren't enough though, and the average person can't seem to wrap their heads around that.
@@michaelbyrne9246 its more insidious then that. If he talks about aliens being on earth he will be ostracized in the scientific community. But there is another thing that I had explained to me the other day and I thought it was pretty insightful. Aliens coming to earth is fundamentally not a scientific problem. Science can only be correctly done if the scientist is the most intelligent being in the experiment with aliens that obviously isnt true. All the rules/methodologies of science break down and there isnt anything left to do. Aliens being on earth is a military/civilian intelligence issue.
YEP. ALIEN VON NEUMANN PROBES are possible not probable though.
You mean like the Viking lander life experiment?
Yeah we only did that once...
Coincidences just keep stacking up.
@@michaelbyrne9246 You're the baddie. I thought someone needed to tell you.
That way you can't say you were never told.
I hate it when “scientists” patronise “normal people” by kindly explaining to us how logic works.
We know. We know because literally everyone uses the basic principles of science. Science isn’t reserved to people who research, it’s part of how normal human beings interact with the world.
There is an arrogance to the field that stinks and I think it actually leads to pride which is poisonous to objectivity.
Any student of the philosophy of science will tell you that science is not anywhere near as objective as it is claimed. We must temper it with humility and open mindedness
So well said.
Objectivity is that there is 0.0 facts that those ufos come from another planet.
Let me ask you this: is the data around UAP interesting?
@@jason_samosa yes
@@Viva-El-Kaputtalismus I agree. I think it’s interesting enough we should be asking more thoughtful questions about them.
I’m not sure this guy understands the topic fully.
He is referring to standards of evidence, but when you look at the hierarchy of the evidence chart - expert opinion and claims made by authorities are still on that chart.
I wish Lex would’ve pushed him on this claim. What does he want, a double blind placebo study that’s peer reviewed?
If you have thousands of pilots reporting UAP, hundreds if not thousands of whistleblowers, and a 100 year long conspiracy on this issue - you can’t say that’s not evidence.
It may not be the type of evidence that personally convinces you, but you can’t say there’s nothing there.
The topic of UAP and NHI has left the UFOLOGY department and has now been moved to high ranking government officials whistleblowing black projects and UAP retrieval programs.
That’s not nothing.
It's just swamp gas. I mean drones. I mean plasma. I mean Iran. Blinking lights.
We don't know what it is, but we know you don't know what it is, because we know what it isn't, and that's anything we don't want it to be.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Provide one clear photo
but wheres the plausible motivation from these supposed advanced species for first contact? You think they just the one species? Lets say its just one, then youre talking of thousands of visits whereby they show up, get seen then piss off 100yr game of hide and seek
Being an Astrophysicist, I can assure you he is very well versed on standards of evidence and UFOs....
Dean Radin has proved,by level "sigma 5" that telekinesis is real ! But nobody received a Nobel prize in his team !!!🤨
My wife and I have seen paranormal activity, poltergeists phenomenons, twice !
He contradicts himself here.
In the full podcast, he says aliens probably have a completely different mind set than us and that it would be impossible to understand their intentions... Yet, he assumes that if they are trying to hide from us and doing a bad job at it, it makes no sense?
Well yeah, we just don’t understand their intentions or the diversity of their races an technology.
@@brysonking7080The comment was to point out a contradiction, not probe or disprove extraterrestrial life. That all you got?
@@brysonking7080😂 you really thought you did something
These scientists can never believe the government pulled a fast one on them lol
10 secs in and im like "Neil DeGrasse Tyson" Version 2!
I was thinking the same thing!
It's amazing how pliable the standards are when your research grants depend on ignoring standards. lol
Yep. Always be extremely wary of any and all grant-seeking scientists . . . including this one.
if aliens turn out to be real and on earth imagine the damage these people will do to science as a whole. There will be a tidal wave of people who no longer trust scientists because they told the public what they were seeing and experiencing wasnt real. It might take generations before that damage is reversed.
Facts
Its very annoying to me the number of Astrophysicists who are so damn close minded and ignorant to the claims being made by people like David Grush, Cmdr David Fravor, Ryan Graves, etc. From what I've seen and heard, these guys are typically very smug in their response, lack the data, lack the clearance for the crucial data, and yet provide an answer like they can easily explain it away.
The guest: I will ignore all data that I don’t understand…I will not dig deeper or look at the bigger picture, and instead I will only process data which can be presented to me in a way that I understand in the way that I was taught. Therefore it is not real.
At the same time my prior conclusions are all wrong based on new the data from James Webb.

He's not scientist, he's just an imitator.
Scientist: I would love to see the evidence
US Government: no
If an "adversary " nation ( Russia, China) had this type of capability,we would have been at our knees a long time ago
basically he's saying the pilots "lied"
And are idiots. Yes… I agree with him btw…
pilots might also hallucinate or mistake things
@@Qantum_Hobbit if no one is a trained observer other than scientists all we have is a new type of religion.. anecdotal evidence is very important for the topic of ufo's considering the fact we arent really capable of trapping a highly advanced species and dragging them onto the 6 oclock news. as far as stuff hidden by the government gook luck in getting those materials into the public eye. so the ball is in the court of the extraterrestrials and they will make the decision of how, when, and why disclosure occurs. we dont need to rely on scientists or government for these answers. all we have to do is keep doing what we are doing and wait
@@Qantum_Hobbit Sure, thats scary if almost all pilost hallusinate when they fly. That is what they say they saw. Maybe all of them the eat mushrooms before flight...
@@Mogorman87Same with astronauts?
Look into it, arrogant buffoon.
These PhDs, who've invested their entire life in certain assumptions, will have the hardest time when disclosure comes.
Why do scientists not have these standards when it comes to covid and gender
Hahahhhah 😂😂😂
"Scientists". 😂😂😂😂 you are hilarious.
🤣 true
They do, but you don’t understand them. That’s the problem. with science: it’s way over most people’s heads so it does them no good.
Objects accelerating at 1000G's are completely normal.
Yeh for sure I bought drone from Wal-Mart. I clocked it at speeds of 8600mph🤔😂😂 I guess that's what we been seeing in the skies world wide
This guy sounds exactly like NDT. Just slightly more lucid.
Two midwits, Smart but outside of their lane they remain closed minded.
This guy is afraid the aliens will be smarter than him and he will become a janitor.
The one thing I hate about scientist is they will just throw out their opinion without even looking into the evidence that is available, especially if it’s about a taboo subject like UFOs
Min 1 - I wrote a book...Min 2 - I spoke about that in my book...Min 3 - Did I told you that I wrote a book...LOL
This is the tradeoff for a podcast. Sure he comes on for free and shares his expertise. At the same time he gets to plug his book
@@garethsloan5118 I know, I know...but to me he comes across as a fake guy...a door keeper like NDGT
@@garethsloan5118 Makes him look like a chump. Also by my book find out why he's a chump.
This is an idiotic comment, Elizondo only ever said that because he went to DOPSR to get his stuff released, and writing a book was the easiest way to say all of that so people could understand it better.
@@Anomaly_Files18 Nobody talks here about Elizondo...need glasses?
The real crime of the millenium is a general lack of curiousity, critical thinking, and intuition. Mostly intuition.
The first step is to not ignore the evidence. The Tic Tac encounter provided lots of evidence. It was detected by newly deployed radar which was suspected of malfunctioning because it recorded movement that wasn't thought to be possible. As a result aircraft were sent to investigate. They found an object at that location, and the pilots observed that it moved in extraordinary ways. A third plane recorded the object on its gun camera. Pilots from at least three planes witnessed the object, and the ship's radar operator recorded its movement. It was a real object with an unknown propulsion system that allowed it to move in ways that are beyond our current technology.
The evidence suggests an unknown technology, and if there are no indications that such technology is within our grasp, then a possibility does exist that it belongs to a non-human intelligence.
Plutarch of Chaeronea, 74 BCE, before the battle between the armies of Lukullus and Mithridates VI in Asia. "A large object in the sky between the armies appeared in flames, in the shape of a wine vessel (pithos) and in molten silver colour"
Pliny the Elder, 76 BCE, "the flame of the star’s fire was to be seen in the sky, which fell to the size of the moon as it fell. Then he ascended back to heaven and transformed into light"
The problem with these kinds of discussions is that the guy being interviewed has all sorts of assumptions which aren't related to the actual cases we have.
Agreed that it is a leap to "ET" before establishing what UFOs are, but that just ignores answering the question, 'What are UFOs?"
This kind of discussion prevents analysis of the actual cases, like the hundreds of Range Fouler Reports where military pilots have recently had to cancel missions due to interference by anomalous objects. Asking astrophysicists about things seen using IR and radar at 30,000 ft is about as useful as asking fighter pilots about exo-planets.
They get offended at hypothesis.
There's nothing wrong coming up with possibilities.
Actually they don't know what a hypothesis is. Or a theory. It's just religion to them, not a process.
the very second I hear "book" "my book" etc. I am instantly turned off and no longer interested because at the end of the day these peoples primary interest is selling their book and nothing else.
I don’t understand, what’s wrong with that? Scientists, thinkers, etc have written down and published and promoted their thoughts and ideas worth spreading for millennia … why are you against books exactly?
Is this your first time listening to these pods? They almost always have a book they’ve written. Is it because you have trouble reading?
Part of the deal on appearing might be the opportunity to plug. Keeps the costs reasonable and shares more sources of information for those who are interested.
Same, and it's only really his opinion. Not going to read a book just to give me that...
@@brndn2208 As opposed to what? You wanna mainline raw scientific data? Isn’t every book only really the author’s opinion? Plato, Newton, Darwin, Kant, the writers of the Bible, Torah etc “just wrote a book”, which is “only really their opinion”… shouldn’t we see it as a wonderful and positive thing, that smart and informed opinions are committed to word and disseminated? Given this man’s obvious academic pedigree and experience and expertise in his field, should we not value his opinion? And if not, why even watch this video?
I am so confused rn, I feel like I’m in a fever dream. Is this some kind of new anti-intellectual evolution of humanity lol, all this hate against books and “people’s opinions”
I very seriously doubt he has EVER looked at the evidence.
Yes of course becase Capt. Fravor and a multitude of other instruments/pilots detected balloons and swamp gas that can move feom 0 to thousands of knots in seconds. Yep lets diregard those people ..
Exactly…. This guy is bs.
This is the thing that just kills me when I hear NDT or this guy going on about scientific rigor. The billions of dollars invested in the U.S. detection apparatus, built for the sake of winning wars/and or staying TECHNOLOGICALLY ahead of our adversaries. Countless man hours of SCIENCE and engineering have been sunk into these systems. But no...we definitely can't think that our expensive, state of the art radars, infrared, and other various detection systems are actually working as designed. Guess they're just all bugged and useless. What a shame. *Shrugs*
0:31 has he read the CIA declassified archives? 🤔 Or declassified NASA documents?
Totally and go look up David grush and David fravor
Probably not
No not at all tell me more
People are suppose to be "hyper critical" of science why is no one questioning this guy. Who said they live on other planets and not on some "space station" and who said they don't want to be seen. This guy is making so many assumptions, he sounds like a clown.
He IS a clown.
Listen to Kevin Knuth, he is a real scientist.
The guy is in TOTAL denial.
He’s a NASA funded talking head
“We need to look on alien planets because that’s where they live” - makes assumptions and then calls out others for doing the same. Are you sure this guy is a critical thinker ?
Disclosure already happenned if you know where to look.
The questions already shifted from whether they are real to more advanced topics.
Please do "wait for evidence" though, as it's really entertaining to see people waiting :)
Waiting on Governments to tell the masses that aliens are real makes about as much sense as an orphan waiting for their parents to tell them Santa Claus isn't real.
"A giant rabbit that can punch you in the face. A kangaroo." My favorite line from this clip by far.
Oh and hes not agnostic. His religion is science and he will protect it like any devout church goer
UFO’s “bore” him, but he becomes “more than agnostic” after reading a “science fiction novel”. That’s as far as I can get into this clip. Good luck, everyone.
He Is so absorbed in his narrative, that a lot of his arguments have obvious holes
I’m starting to think scientists are the aliens bullshitting around a question
'Every cellphone would be a brick' - That would be the best thing that could ever happened to us!
Too bad the science community abandoned these standards with regard to... jabby, jab jab.
Can't blame the whole community for that.
Whats your point
we can never let this go
How so? Feel free to explain in detail.. pretty sure the MRNA vaccines were tested through trials and the science behind them is very sound and very well known.
To be clear your position on it would’ve been to wait 5 years as with any other vaccination…? Should be thanking Trump and operation warp speed that he’s so proud of… but his supporters choose to ignore that part…… along with so many other things lol
He holds the science community to a standard that simply doesn’t exist anymore.
Standard of Evidence , Well Science talking Parallel & Multi universe without evidence ! 😂
Does love meet the ‘standards of evidence’? Humanity needs to wake up.
After my sighting in February 1997, of two car size UFO's putting on the most incredible display of light show and flight manoeuvres that no 'known' conventional craft can do, even the best developed drones of today. I can categorically say that their is a technology far advanced that what mainstream science tells us is possible. These craft performed perfect, high speed, right angle turns and much more. This was only 400-500ft above my head. Aliens, I have no idea? but whoever operates them has superior knowledge of mainstream science when it comes to 'flight'.
This guy hasn’t seen the tictac UAP data or the nimble, etc.
We don't know what it is but is not what you think. His arrogance is overwhelming
First signal is being aware. That’s the prime objective of UAPs, to be seen and have our culture be aware. We won’t be able to have communication when we deny they exist.
Ego is a death blow to finding truth.
Fun fact 12:07 is exactly enough time to load my puff co and take enough dabs to pretend I know what's going on.
Hahahahahahahah
Fair enough, what he didn't say was you can not know what this phenomenon is but can still study it in depth, many scientists did, despite the derision of their foolish peers.
7:58 ok sounds good. Now explain it happening in the 40s and 50s when we didn't have drones or advanced radar technology
This cat is drinking the Neal Degrasse Tyson Kool Aid.
What is Adam's assessment of the data from the 2004 Nimitz incident? Does Adam believe scientists like him have received all the sensor data from all the interesting incidents from the government?
He is ignoring all the sensory data, radar, video, photo and anecdotal evidence collected from that event. The US government has so much classified information relating to UAP that these "scientists" refuse to accept.
Nevermind the data the government has. I bet he's not even familiar with the data we as the public already have.
We don't have any evidence because we all know what happens to whistleblowers.
They die from old age or get hit by a car😵
@simply11believelane47 paragliding accidents where they forget their paragliders.
Since there's no proof what the objects are we can't say they are alien craft. But he can say they're not alien craft. How about proving what they are before concluding what they're not.
Why does he assume they don’t want to be seen ? lol
That’s exactly what an alien in disguise would say..
He's not smart enough to be an alien or odd enough
@@simply11believelane47 That's exactly what a smart alien would want you to say.
@BridgesOnBikes yeh maybe so....loll
This guy says he wants “detectors” yet the US Military literally has records of video, infrared, radar, sonar, and multiple eye witnesses all confirming the same objects moving at speeds and maneuvering in ways we cannot…. This guy is asleep.
Aliens have been here from the benninging
😂😂😂😂
Like goblins and angels and fairies right?
We don't know that. And there certainly no proof of that. That is bad science.
Prove it, scientifically
@@neilkasheryou’ll have to wait for full disclosure lol, ever heard of David Grusch? Phil Schneider? Bob Lazar?
The problem with his approach is that there are very trusted people saying the DoD is withholding everything he lists that he says is required to make extraordinary claims.
There's a few things to unpack here.
First one being ones hubris or ego... it always seems comes down to a nerdy guy possibly never good with the ladies that is just very good and one specific area and wants to own that because that's his football game and he is not willing to listen or accept anybody else's opinion because he thinks he knows best based on what information he's been given or decided to research..
The second thing is being an expert in a field does not necessarily mean overall intelligence to understand things holistically, case in point there's a lot of people that are on the Spectrum or autistic that are mathematical wonders but they don't have the EQ or the wherewithal to know how to navigate themselves out of a precarious social situation or know how to mitigate career moves or even understand what the right types of food they should eat to keep themselves healthy.
That's the case in point for this person being interviewed... I don't know much about his background but the first take away is he's clearly a skeptic and biased and he seems to be very misinformed or uninformed on all the evidence that we have now... a UAP by definition has to represent certain characteristics that one of them being an observable of technology that we don't have at least known to the public.. So when you have something traveling from 80,000 ft in the air which is the edge of space down to 50 ft obve the ocean in less than a second.. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say it's most likely not man-made technology.. all these flashing orbs all the humongous crafts that have been seen, not to mention very highly respected people from Highly Educated people in Academia and also other organizations and Fields, including high-ranking military people that have claimed ti have seen non-human biologics.. if the person being interviewed is simply saying it's not alien technology well then how did humans have this technology and how have they been able to keep it under wrap for almost a century at this point.. I don't disagree that some of it is not government secret technology but to just brazenly and obstinately disregard it as it's definitely not alien technology just seems to be a bit biased and ignorant to say the least..
The fact that he does not consider the possibility that visitors might be leaving ship debris deliberately to observe how we react shows that he has not thought about it deeply.
I'm open to a discussion about it, except that I'm not😂
I trust THE science ha ha ha.
Your wrong these are not man made because there are reports of people seeing these stuff in the sky decades ago
Pure state adversary people? Who was it 70 years ago then?
Exactly......what about the ufos clearly painted in multiple Renaissance paintings. A lot of those artists were very intelligent. They saw they painted. DaVinci has compelling art as well on this subject.
I regret every time I click on a lex video. They just ramble about nothing. Sad.
His mind is closed and you never solve theories starting with being mean to each other and closed minds.
This scientist will be soon left behind. He doesn't go out of his mental box just because he is terrified by how mean the others like him will be. Sad
3 Scientists arguing about what type of tracks they had stumbled across were just ran over by the train..... Believe your eyes and trust your gut, but never forget to pray!
NHI isn’t concerned with Adam Frank’s requirements…
Mr. Frank is obviously very sophisticated when it comes to astrophysics and understanding the scientific method and the rigors necessary to verify claims, e.g., extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, but he seems childlike in understanding foreign policy. He doesn't recognize that the chances these UAPs with extremely advanced technology are from some peer adversary, e.g., Russia or China, are infinitesimal. The CIA and other intelligence services make sure they have a good understanding of the technological levels of those peer adversaries, so there is no way they can send over swarms of UAPs that can defeat US surveillance technology. So that leaves us with the possibilities they are from the US military or a government contractor or they are aliens. If Frank is right that the chances they are aliens are infinitesimal, then that leaves us with the US military or a government contractor.
Just thinking out loud here, but I’m seeing so many different claims stating how impossible it is for anyone to travel far enough or fast enough to actually reach alien civilizations(physical limitations, universe expansion etc), but then we keep saying that we should look up and try to see them? Why don’t we go with our knowledge and look elsewhere? What if they are actually traveling from within? Just seems like we’ve learned a thing or two, but we’re not leveraging the knowledge we’ve gathered.
This gentleman does not realize that the NHIs are already here, its honestly upsetting
I have seen paranormal activity myself. Poltergeists phenomenons, light goes on and objects move alone, like from an invisible hand. My jeans flipped 1 meter in the air. Another time there was a 28 kg heavy metal piece of a roentgen apparatus that was standing on a commode as decoration/memory, this heavy chunk of metal began to move slowly until it falls to the ground in big boom . Each time it happens as my wife and I were sad ,first time homesick and the 2nd time as our dog died. I swear it is true ✋😑.
So many things we don't understand.
Bonjour de France les amis ✌😉👍🇫🇷

IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION.
Ik I’m being hard on him and I get where he’s coming from with the analogy but comparing poking around the universe for life to going to nebraska to find someone that is nebrask-ian is a wild comparison lol
I would think the undiscovered parts of our oceans have a better chance of having intelligent alien life than a very large percentage of the universe.
What about the 2004 Tic Tac sighting? There is plenty of data on it
The discussion explores the potential forms of alien life, emphasizing the innovative nature of life itself. It suggests that understanding life beyond our traditional views could be transformative.
One of the highest ranked pentagon members comes out and says: "Trans-Dimensional visitors have been here for thousands of years"
Scientist: Theres no proof.
Thought our scientists were supposed to be better then this.
Russian President, 🇺🇸Presidents have said it without saying it...most highly decorated Astronauts& Cosmonauts, etc etc the list goes on. Belgian President as well think Brazilian, Chilean government have all confirmed Ets are 💯here.
Refer to Carl Sagan’s demonstration about 3rd dimensional beings trying to make contact with 2 dimensional beings.
I'd like to hear a scientist talk about UAPs in more depth. I think this type of perspective is too agnostic or avoids acknowledging their existence too much. Do you have any other clip suggestions?
He is literally a scientist.
@@brysonking7080 Great answer.
These standards of evidence work for some things but I have a feeling the actual standards inhibit some areas of thought and acceptance .To dismiss what people are seeing for acceptance of standards is like saying well the sightings dont align to our standards so its all mirages ,errors ,and other things like secret military experiments.
is this guy serious? does he not know half the UAP videos are from our aircraft's or aircraft's radar ??
What are you babbling about?
@design_no buddy the photo used in the thumbnail is literally from a military jet 😂 goof
@@evanmilligan6046 yes, yes we have seen it before. And? YOu are telling me that based on that, we have all the evidence? FFS grow up.
@ i don't think you watched the interview
Michio kaku disagrees
This guy is the worst scientist ever. We’ve spent hundreds if not, thousands of years building boats and are way more advanced than any creature on earth yet boats sink all the time even today. This guy would probably say “how is that possible”?
Sorry Lex. Watched a couple of mins and it’s all I could take. You usually have good guests.
I think this guys the wrong guy on this topic he’s so disconnected it’s frustrating 🤨 “if they don’t wanna be seeing they suck at it” they actually rot. Suck at it cause we still haven’t seen be clearly 💡
The only reason i don't believe any of the recent hype is because I want so badly to believe it. I'm blinded by my own desires.
That's a ridiculous statement
@@steec6713 what a ridiculous comment.
He is biased therefore he cannot make a wholly logical judgement on this.
@@steec6713 Confirmation bias is probably the top reason people make critical mistakes in data analysis
The only reason I don't believe it is because the government acknowledged it.
@@Canada_Matt He didn't say he can't make a wholly logical judgment. He said he DOESNT BELIEVE because he wants to believe. It's absolutely ridiculous.
You're changing it to make it sound less ridiculous. You can recognize the potential for cognitive bias or subjectivity, but that doesn't mean you change your theories or beliefs because of that potential.
Scientific method: You theorize first, and many scientists believe in their theories before even investigating. They don't then say "Well, I had this theory, and then I realized I wanted it to be true, so I no longer have that theory." Ridiculous.
This is a fascinating topic 👽👽🛸
Didnt the event detected on the nemitz which correlatedd with pilots instruments on fighters and awacs? Isnt that plausable for science?
One time (one) a white light caught my eye, it looked to be travelling west and with an elevated slant in altitude, next, the dot travelled in a star shape (down, up, down,sudeways, up, down and pow) off to the left into the beyond in a super speed way. Wild. That was my experience this day, August 81.
Lex having a podcast is proof that ANYTHING is possible- he has the personality of a 2x4
Smartest 2x4 ever 🤣👍
@@LeeBadBoyBonnerhe’s either the smartest dumb guy or the dumbest smart guy. It’s hard to tell which.
It’s scientists like this guy who still question why humans and animals yawn, and it cannot simply be that we yawn because we’re sleepy, but there has to be some sort of evolutionary development from maybe an ancient way of breathing or communicating, when the simple answer is that we yawn when we are sleepy.
The simple answer is not the full answer. There is still likely an evolutionary reason for it, so your comment doesnt make sense unless you're saying we shouldn't explore things and should just accept them at face value without fully understanding them. This guy is pretty closed-minded but your comment doesnt make sense.
Eon is an AMAZING read!
This conversation reinforces the argument that if someone has access to high quality evidence they need to release it, cost to self be damned. If there really are aliens among us, the person who reveals it might endure ridicule and imprisonment, but it will be short lived. They will become one of the most famous people in history.
Dr Richard Haines had so many written documents on this subject with countless interviews of pilots that it’s hard for me to digest that it’s our technology and not extraterrestrial.
The Greg Bear novel that dealt with Aliens "Faking us out" was primarily The Forge of God and its sequel Anvil of Stars, but I often wonder if it's just other people, in power "faking us out"
The capabilities of these UAPs are vastly superior to anything else. There's no way they are human technology.
