In fairness, if someone told me they saw a flying object with the letters "UFO" written on it, I'd also laugh derisively
Same. But still wouldn’t be sure if I was laughing *with* them in the age of Poe’s law.

I love that the guy tried, tried reaaally hard, not to laugh, but then he just had to give in to it. He did his best, but the topic was just so fucking stupid 😂
And that is exactly how the aliens will invade Earth, creating confusion and laughter in humans while they disintegrate us through laser beams. 😀
I seent it dough
I think we should all take a moment and acknowledge the costume designer who made a bird mascot's facial expression exude pure unfiltered derision. Art. What a time to be alive.
Yes, what a time to be alive! Gratitude for the small things. Otherwise we'd go screaming off tall buildings. Thank you, as always, John Oliver 😢😅
These costumes cost $5k-$10k minimum btw its probably higher since it could be considered commercial use (being used inside of an episode of TV made for profit) I honestly can't believe how they get such a high budget! It's awesome though
Credit is also due to the performer for their perfect and immaculately-timed body language and head tilt. Synergy. (Wonder if it's Noel MacNeal again?)

They have an amazing creative team, always impressed.
20:38 It kind of blew my mind when I saw this was the pilot who made that video. Years ago PBS did a series on life aboard a Navy aircraft carrier. They filmed inside the USS Nimitz, and that pilot was in the show. He was still stationed on the Nimitz when he used his fighter jets targeting system to lock on and record what people call the Tic Tac, the UFO, in the Pacific somewhere off the coast of Mexico. I immediately recognized him from that show on PBS. He’s a real Navy pilot.
He's a very highly ranked Navy Pilot too, or was at the time.
Absolutely, and %100 said that the UFO does NOT move like something of this Earth
You understate who that is. He is one of the best pilots on earth. He was commander of this elite squadron.
fravors ufo encounter is one of the most interesting because this " nimitz encounter " had a whole fleet present with many radar systems and there are radar operators who gave public testimony on the speed and strange flight characteristics of the ufos ( like Kevin Day ) also the video was not made by Fravor or Dietrichs plane it was made later by another pilot who went off trying to find the ufo ( Chad Underwood )
Objects dropping in from above the radar's dome, at 50 miles or something insane like that. They dropped in from that high and were a foot above sea level not even a second later. Fravor chased one of the objects, the object disappeared and reappeared at his cat point miles away, how did the object know that location?
My grandfather was an intelligence officer for the air force during Korea. He once got called-in to debreif a group of pilots that had come back early from some routine flight. He said these were all pilots who'd seen airal combat - they aren't the type to be easily spooked. He talked to each one individually and they were all visibly shaken and all described the same experience of bright metallic objects whizzing around their fighter jets doing sharp turns and reversing mid-flight. no idea if it's aliens, but it's clearly something(s). Also this was early 50s so it can't be the "experimental aircraft" line - if anyone on earth had the tech to make something reverse mid-air and dance around a fighter jet 70 years ago we'd know about it by now.
Mate am sat on my bed thinking about my own experience with a ball of orange fire. It was intelligent, it followed me to my home. Its 4 miles away and then suddenly over my head (night time as well)
As I watched the beginning of this I felt angry this presenter is ridiculing the topic. After everything I've learnt I'm so suspicious and angry with the world of man. Its clear the corrupt and murderous are in charge of people and the world.
Dark times are coming.
You honestly think now is the most advanced civilization has ever been?
Lol
@@RedGuy-wy2ggwe have no way at thi moment to confirm or deny and everything else is speculation….. however i believe there has been AT LEAST one advanced civilization ahead of where we are currently throughout numerous cycles of mankind
@@karsonmapesLet me take a wild guess, you're into Graham Hancock
Having John Oliver talk about something other than the depressing state of the world is a breath of much needed fresh air 😢
But it’s still sad that the only way to find something not sad to talk about is to literally avoid our whole planet and talk about space
TBF beneath all of this is an alleged 75 year cover-up by the US government, which is quite sinister indeed.
TBF it's still a rather depressing topic.
First, it's chock full of the US government lying to its citizens 'for national security'. Despite how valid that lying might be, it's still the government flat out lying about it's actions or the actions of other governments to their citizens.
Second, it's just an extension of the tribalism that we have over things that we can't prove. The schism around if they're aliens or not is _very_ heated, and the whole point is in the name, *Unidentified* Flying Object. We don't know what they are, which is why they're called that to begin with. People are 'debating' it in the same way that we 'debate' religion, which is shout our beliefs at each other until our voices are tired.
I'm a skeptic at heart, I don't believe that aliens would show themselves if they came to see us, because all we got going right now is a fast track to self destruction. _But,_ a major part of the logical and scientific approach is being open to new, and verifiable information.

Makes you wonder what that big bird suit is really for? Hey bird, I know where my snake is.
This is one of those John oliver episodes where I just have to stop to appreciate how well this show is written and made. Absolute gold, god damn :DDDD
Hard disagree. If this was a good faith segment they would have mentioned there has been thorough conclusive analysis of each spooky ufo clip they showed & included a way to find it.
Calm down. this show isn't funny. It's barely any better than jimmy fallon. Where do people like you even come from?
Really?
Guys obnoxious af.

Idk whats wrong with this reply section, just let everyone enjoy life if it doesn't harm others or themselves :D
see, *this* is the kind of coverage we need about UFOs. not conspiracy theories about a massive government coverup, nor people laughing at the prospect of UFOs; a genuine consideration and evaluation of what we do and don't know.
This video is part of the coverup. If You saw a UFO then you are a dummy, " where' s My snake?". It's happening all over media
It is not a conspiracy theory, there is a Government coverup, it is on the record even! Do you know who Chris Mellon, David Grusch, Eric Wilson, on and on and on of credible people outing it. Further, FOIA requests have also been released showing a coverup.
THe thing is, if you do not go search for the information the main stream will never reveal it. This bit by Oliver was sort of a half ass reveal with some tid bits and hints that you are being gas lit But, he was so busy being funny and mocking people with cherry picked crack pot videos that I give him a D-. It would be an F but at least he wasn't a total tool about it.
Am I believer? Yes. Well actually I am a knower and we all could be but the mind games and propaganda has been so well done I think it is hopeless. You actually start your post not even knowing there has been a cover up. Start there. I am not trying to be a dick, and I am sure you are a bright person but this bit was not journalism, it was entertainment nibbling around the edges.
Happy to dialogue if you like.
You're delusional. No point talking to you if you can't see man's nature by now.
Good luck for the future
Right. Even if it ain't aliens, someone out there has a better plane than we do. Could be the CCP, could be Russia, could even be the French. We have to know, and knowledge can only come from the scientific method.
Just like politics, I feel alone in the UFO discussion for not being on the extremes.
Whenever I search for this topic, it's either the tinfoil hat guy or the hardcore skeptic that ridicules everything.
Getting vaporized wouldn’t be fun, but having it happen from an Alien labeled “Alien” and Death Ray labeled “Death Ray” would be one of the most hilarious ways to go ever
The destroy all humans game is fun and related to that if you haven't checked it out.
I mean... there's probably few better ways to die tbh. Sounds painless.
And then drop a label on the remains that says "human"
....and the death ray actually made the sound "Zap"
@@edwardrhoads7283I mean, they're aliens, maybe they put signs on things, maybe they narrate everything they do, maybe they shout shout numbers at others while making jokes, we have no idea what strange linguistic traits they might have.
" my snake looks like that but this is actually a different snake. Someone come get your snake" was a truly hilarious end to that bit

Dude, I was born on the Air Force base where the SR-71 flew from. I learned the word 'airplane' by looking up and seeing this black twin-engined machine carving a path through a summer sky in my backyard. It only got weirder from there.
I see a strange bright light in the evening sky, I can't think _"Am I being visited by aliens."_ when my first reaction is _"Oh, shit. Someone's gonna get chewed out for radiating their signature..."_
Unless you've seen a real ufo you've seen nothing mate.
When you've had an intelligent ball of orange plasma like light appear over 4 miles away and then just suddenly appear over your head right as I get back to my homes back gate.
I could describe in detail aspects that defied our understanding of the world.
One thing I know for sure, people especially those with power are corrupt.
Dark times are coming and it's not these other beings we should be worried about. It's our own nature.
Especially the aliens, lol.
I love how many comments are removed.
I did say something like until you've seen a ufo upclose you haven't seen anything. Human technology is wack.
@@Probabilityislife you mean comments like : "fenbendazole cures cancer"?
I don't consider myself a big "believer" but once you start doing even casual research and looking around, it's very, very difficult to say all those stories, all the pics, all the video, and everything else is all fake. We are not alone, and probably never have been.
Saw one 14 years ago shattered my world view. Sadly it seems the conspiracy nuts are right on a few things but the government makes em look crazy on purpose, our question should be why are the so interested in making these people look crazy
Very well said ... I completely agree with that. 👍🏼
I believe that aliens exist, but I find it difficult to believe that they have made it to Earth given the extreme distances between stars.
They have surmounted the limitations of the speed of light and travel through worm holes or other such portals. It doesn't take eons for them to get here. In fact, they already have sub oceanic bases on earth and bases on the dark side of the moon.@@greywolf7577
The "I know where my snake is" bit was such good comedic acting, those facial expressions were perfect. All around amazing segment, you can tell when the writers enjoy writing about things that are a little more lighthearted
“Wait, that’s not my snake. That’s a different snake. That’s someone else’s snake,” is such a perfect cap on that bit, because it raises so many more questions than it answers (Kinda like UAPs.)
If that’s not John’s Snake, then whose snake is that? That means there’s more than one snake? Where are the other snakes? How many snakes are there loose in the building right now? Why is the crew allowing loose snakes? Why is there some kind of rope tugging on my ankle? Why do I hear hissing? Why do I feel a set of rough hands around my neck? What-
really was
I was in the studio audience and I started looking around my chair because God knows the snake could have been there knowing John lol
when he sat down and looked at his crotch I was expecting a joke about a trouser snake
but it also ties so nicely to the issue about the gov not wanting to look incompetent, such a fun recurring bit lol
I now want the words "Believe, shmelieve, what the fuck is that?" on a canvas hanging in my living room. The words are a conversation starter.
Yo me too 😂
I was trying to find a poster that said those words! Maybe if we beg hard enough, Last Week Tonight will make merch of it?
🤣🤣🤣 Yes!
If you want it on canvas find a painter to hire. I'm sure over the internet you can find a good local artist that would do it inexpensively. Some tattoo artist would probably be really into it and get it done fast.
With that classic black and white UFO still above the words? Because that would be perfect.
I never thought I would see such a fair look at UFOs from John Oliver. Really good work!
The Boeing Joke was great! 😅
If someone identifies a UFO as a Boeing aircraft I'd be a sceptic. They can't fly! ;)
But seriously, saying UFOs don't exist is the least believable thing. The fundamentally most scientific statement is "We don't know everything." followed with "But we're trying to figure it out."
*At least so much better, than that flying coffin, called AIRBUS !*
Boeing just rules ! If it ain't an Boeing, I'm not going !
The pilot speaking about the tic tac encounter was flying a Boeing product, an F/A-18F Super Hornet.
Gottem
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm glad John Oliver points out at the beginning the fact that the term "UFO" or "UAP" doesn't mean "extraterrestrial", it means we don't know what it is. It doesn't have to be from space for it to be potentially dangerous, and I'm happy that the government if finally starting to try and remove the stigma of reporting this stuff from our service men and women.
@@lbandito1that's exactly what it means. You changed it
@@lbandito1 Literally the only difference in the 2 scenarios you just took way too many words to describe is that in one they actually tried to find out what it was and in one they didn't. The meaning of "unidentified" doesn't change just because you tried to identify it.
@@lbandito1 I think you're off your meds. You should get on that.
The government is not being decent. They always cause an uproar like this when they need to do something big that they don't want media to catch on to. "Flood the market with information so the truth can't be found," is their motto
@@casparhughey5651 you clearly do not have a historical perspective on the issue. Unidentified in this topic has always assumed lack of data. That has changed now that we have been given testimony, under oath, from pilots and others who have collected and seen the data.

I saw a ufo once and tried like hell to figure out an explanation for it. All I got from a high-clearance aerospace engineer was that we don't have the technology to create anything that moves like the craft I saw. It didn't seem to conform to physics as we know it. It shook me up and then thrilled me to know we have the chance to learn a great deal more about the universe if everyone, governments included, honestly shared their experiences.
I am a retired cop. I have answered the phone inside a police station in the middle of the night and had somebody tell me they saw a UFO. My response was to ask if the UFO had committed a crime or if there was any obvious threat to public safety. The answer was invariably “no” which removed the incident from my area of responsibility. I literally had no way to take a report for a UFO sighting if I wanted to do so. That makes sense because police should not be wasting scarce resources dealing with non-police matters. It does leave me wondering how difficult it must be for somebody who sees a UFO to find a government employee who is willing to take them seriously.
As a government employee, I agree that we have no interest in doing anything outside of our area of responsibility. I have enough to deal with. I don't need anything else. If someone hasn't been assigned the responsibility to deal with UFOs, then it doesn't get dealt with.

I was in the military 14 years, and the lights in Arizona were not signal flares. I've done night retrieval, and those were not flares.
Could it have been a test of electronic countermeasures of some kind? They looked like sustained flames, which would be very inefficient as a source of thrust for a hovering object.
I know what they are... They broke into my home almost two years ago and attacked me. They look like my profile pic. If mention who they are my comment gets removed, so there is a lot more coverup about it than people talk about.

the fucked-up shit on this show is always the best parts
When my mom and I were in the Rural areas of the town I grew up in, so I was a child, we seen this craft with a lot of bright lights on it, come down from the sky. We didn’t see it in the sky, it just appeared while flying about 150 ft off the ground when we seen it, then we watched as it landed behind a group of trees. We drove over to the trees and got out of our car to go see if anyone needed help.
We really thought it was a farmers craft he had built for flying over his livestock.
When we got behind the trees, nothing was there! And we had seen the light of the craft shining through the trees.
All we could think was it was an UFO.
This was in the early 70’s and I would have been around 8-10 years old.
Wow, what an encounter! Where was this?
Did they get some new additions to the writing staff? The jokes on this segment were even more hilarious than they usually are, and all had a slightly different style than the typical ones. They all had a perfect set-up, perfect execution, and a perfect punchline.
god, the art of making a mascot suit feel alive and full of character is so cool to me. you could just FEEL every emotion oozing out of that guy. they were only on screen for less than a minute, but they milked every second of it tbh, good for them
Agree 😂
I was looking forward to the dissed bird being involved in the final punchline, but he got ooched out by the snake. 😞
As The Master Thespian would say:
“Acting!”
“Genius!”
“THANK YOU!”

John Oliver has an appreciation for furries. He knows exactly who to hit up for immaculate mascot costumes.
Ever been to a furry convention?
As an astrophysicist, for once I actually passed John's "that's not actually ____" test! XD Also, whenever someone asks me about UFOs, my go-to line is "Anything is a UFO if you're bad enough at identifying things."
Exactly! The “U” in UFO just means “unidentified.” If you can identify it, it’s not a UFO anymore.
Oh snap, snap!
Yep, it's a nice test when it's not a person.
And I still agree with the "Its never aliens until its aliens" which I believe means until you have irrefutable evidence smack you clear in the face, its never aliens. And that's typically coming from people like yourself who so deeply want us to find other life. Hell, I so deeply want to find other life out there but I just don't think its that easy...clearly! perhaps that is what keeps us looking to the sky
I’m usually pretty good at identifying things but I still have my one sighting from a few years ago.
Middle of a very rural area in Northern California’s Lake County I was walking from the camper to the campgrounds bathroom and admiring the night sky on the way. I see a blinking light coming in from one direction, no sound at all, and suddenly that blinking light takes a 90 degree turn without slowing down or banking, just was going south is now going east. At the exact same time as the sudden turn I see a small 4 seater plane appear to roll over as if it had been upside down and was righting itself going in the opposite direction the blinking light had been that seemed to appear at the spot where the light had turned. The only time there was any sound at all was when I saw the plane roll over so I could see its underside and then normal plane sounds as it flew off into the distance. The blinking light also continued without changing directions until I couldn’t see it anymore.
"That John C. Reilly character does make a good point" 🤣
What gets my attention is the reports from military pilots.
Like a " ball of light" isn't the same as Navy pilots with thousands of flight hours in the most advance piece of technology on this earth and with advance understanding of physics and Aeronautics as well as studying every other known aircraft on this planet going "wtf is that?"
When the world's most experienced pilots say "that flying objects aren't supposed to fly like that." That's when shit gets interesting.
Once you identify a UFO, it becomes an FO. Unless it lands, then it's just an O.
Nice one!
🤨😔
are you a librarian?
just kidding
Oh
If it lands before you identify it, it’s a UO. 😬 Uh oh.
Herpetologist here, loved the snake bit! Don't feel bad, colubrids are known escape artists and this has happened to the best of us. Pro tip, if you house your snake in an appropriate sized terrarium (preferably 4x2x2 ft) and used the appropriate locks, you'd drastically reduce the chance of your snake escaping. 😉🐍

In 1979 my mother and I were returning to Pensacola from a Florida Little Majors all-star game(Florida’s version of Little League Baseball) in Destin. We were turned back due to a natural gas leak on Hwy 98 and had to reroute north through Crestview, Fl to I-10. While driving westward we saw a blue-green light drop in the distance in front of us, it stopped above the treetops moved slowly left about a third of the windshield then right an equal distance and speed, then it shot up fast, super-fast out of sight diagonally toward the southwest. My Mom asked “Did you see that?” I replied “Yes.” We didn’t talk the rest of the way home. We never spoke of it. Granted we drove straight through Eglin Air Force Base Reserve, and I always figured the lights were from something getting tested there. 🛸
Check out Jean-Pierre Petit PhD interview in Prague. He's a French plasma physicist that led a team of researchers to test plasma engines in supersonic wind tunnels. It turns out that plasma heating and magnetic flow control around a plane wing, sphere, cylinder or disc shaped airfoils can totally eliminate the sonic boom produced at multiple times the speed of sound. The designs look uncannily like the tic tac and flying saucers.

I had multiple UFO sightings in my life. Saw a black triangle at age 6 in the Nevada desert humming and rotating and zipping away from jets when my mom and I went camping.
Saw two orange orbs, foo fighters, in Missouri at 13 bouncing and swirling in circles on the sky over the woods for half an hour and blinking out.
And at 21 years old saw 50 craft with my gf and a bunch of others at her apartment(she always laughed at me about liking UFO stuff til then). We saw two flying saucers, two orbs, about 40 triangles, a diamond, and I filmed a red cigar that I didn't see but only showed up on camera.
Up until my last sighting in 2015, on Saint Patty's day(we were both sober and hadn't drank anything yet), 99% of me believed it was humans. After that, seeing all those types of craft in one place over an hour and a half, I believe we are being visited and observed.
I'm at least glad that others are seeing military videos are now believing without having seen one themselves. I always kept quiet because people would make jokes.
I'm sure there will be another Phoenix Lights type event. And now there's too many cameras(phones) and it won't be easy to cover up if a mile wide UFO flies over a city in broad daylight. Mark my words, next ten years something will happen.

Thanks you so much for bringing the UAP topic to attention, John and Team!! Yes indeed, it is time for fair inquiry. 💕

I’m a commercial pilot, and I fly around Mt.Rainer often. If you google “standing lenticular clouds” those are characteristically known for having a “flying saucer-like” appearance, and most often form around mountainous areas. I would bet that those get mistaken for UFO’s quite often, and I’m surprised it wasn’t mentioned in this video.
Thank you john you make life alot better sence of humor is important stay well we need your input ❤😊
I was taken aback when I saw John Chancellor starting to smile at 2:46 while relating the description of the UFO. When he broke into laughter, I could hardly believe my eyes. That was the era of the straight-as-a-ruler news anchor. It was a *BIG* deal when Walter Cronkite got emotional during the first moon landing.
I don't know why people and society structures in the past were so obsessed with surpressing emotion, to the point of treating emotions like a crime. It's a really dystopian thing to do to society and people.
@@aw3299 It's not that it was seen as a crime, it was seen as unprofessional. There is a time and a place for emotional expression, and at least then (probably would be better now too), the job of a newscaster was the dispassionate relaying of information and let you have whatever emotions you're going to experience whether than put their emotional thumbs on the scale and make something more emotionally charged than it otherwise should be.
Ok but I guess you're completely unaware that it was the common portrayal of ufos in the media at the time. The beginning of the clip was surprising, when he was delivering the story was straight faced. The laughter absolutely was not out of the ordinary for the time. Watch any archived footage.
@@aw3299you think that is something we’ve gotten over as a society? Cute

7:28 I have to salute john oliver for gaining enough maturity in order to resist making jokes about Mr « Keyhoe »’s name
He's simply waiting for the Key moment to drag his name across the dirt like a hoe.
Right?!

@@sharkbait3332 mine too. I thought" Uuh, that guys name is KEYHOLE", waiting for Oliver to make a f-word joke.
I feel like that’s the one thing he couldn’t make fun of. Props to him really cause I’m dying now 😂
It is fantastic to see John Oliver talk about this phenomenon! I was a Navy submariner, and I can't talk about the things I saw underwater, but I can talk about what I saw before I joined the Navy. I was crew on the tallship Argus out of Newport Beach CA. One cruise I was standing watch, about 0200 hours I saw a large object pass below the keel amidships while we were anchored in Cat Harbor, Catalina Island. We had three guys on watch, one on the bow, one amidships, and one on the stern. Cat Harbor is long and narrow, we had to make sure we weren't dragging anchor. This thing was big, maybe 30 feet wide. I saw a green glow from below the boat and looked down over the gunwhale. Saw something very wide and glowing green passing below the boat amidships. I called out to the other watchmen and the fellow from the bow came down to join me. This thing was huge, we thought it was a whale, and maybe it was glowing green from disturbing the plankton in the water. We decided to explain it that way and note it in our logs, but I don't really believe that - it was too big, and too bright green. The brightest green I have seen the ocean is when waves are breaking in plankton rich waters, this was brighter than that. I had no other frame of reference at the time, but now after hearing reports of USOs I think it may have been that. Super weird.
This REALLY ticks me off. Laughing and joking about President Jimmy Carter and other people seeing UFO's is EXACTLY why people won't tell anyone about them. Myself included, for many years. Now I look at UFO deniers as pencil heads.
I was once travelling through the countryside of my country (Brazil), when we passed in front of a residential complex named: "Human Village". My sister and I still crack up about that years later. It is the most weirdly suspicious sign I've ever seen.
Literally LOL'd at this. That's fantastic.
My rational brain is splitting in half right now, because that is the most conclusive evidence of alien existence I've ever heard of. 😂😂😂
Absolutely fantastic. Kudos to whoever named that village.

Many pilots have also said that these were "under intelligent control". The UAP's evaded their aircraft, at other times mirroring their flight movements. John also left out that the pilots reported these UAP's changing altitude by 10's of thousands of feet in seconds. This can be verified by radar data as well. These objects defy our understanding of the natural laws of physics. "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
There is no radar data verifying any of this. In fact Fravor explicitly claimed that the radar data was deleted.
@@hedgehog3180 There is a lot of radar data confirming pilots accounts on multiple occasions. Don’t ignore the data. Suspend your disbelief, have an open mind, do the research, and don’t just stick with the information that supports your model and personal beliefs on the subject. Your small thinking, hubris, and over-inflated sense of intelligence will blind you, just like it has done academia time and time again throughout history. There is a preponderance of evidence at this point, there are things beyond your comfortable and infinitesimally small life that you can’t begin to comprehend.

To add to the bit about "Viking helmets didn't actually have horns", the mistake came from the fact that there were ancient Celtic helmets that *did* have horns, and they were found at so many sites of Viking battles that archaeologists just assumed that the Vikings wore them - it turns out, the mistake came from the fact that these ancient Celtic horned-helmet-wearers were simply fighting the Vikings so often that the site of any battle where the Vikings fought was liable to have these horned helmets there.
Wow! It's like the opposite of the Survivorship bias!
In addition it was not uncommon to carry the helmet of a former family member after many decades.
In additon helmets weren't Uniform.
Even Roman soldiers gear was not that glaring red what you often see in movies.
The Gjermundbu Viking helmet is the ONLY verified viking helmet ever found. Or should I say almost only. It is in 6 fragments, making it the only one they could put together, thus getting an idea of what i would have looked like. A few other fragments have been found in other placed, but they are small.
"Celtic" horned helmets (there are very few known examples, like the "Waterloo helmet") and viking helmets are seperated by at least 800-1000 years.
@@stephanleo This is verifiable. Waterloo Helmet is circa 150-50 BCE, the Viking Age was 793-1066 CE.
A cursory search also shows Celtic helmets were referenced but archaeological evidence is lacking. The aforementioned “Waterloo Helmet” was ceremonial, not meant for combat as OP stated.
I was taking pictures of a UAP moving quickly in a back and forth motion, blinking rapidly at night time; I set my camera to time exposure on a tripod and the UFO light painted a picture of a chicken along with other glyph like objects. ( I posed it to my channel no joke) I have regular encounters and documenting them is not hard - when I was just a kid, they visited regularly, no idea what they do but its gotten easier to tolerate them and not be deathly afraid. They are living beings and even though we differ tremendously in how we experience life and look; we are so different yet mentally - very much the same. I'm glad to be a part in their plan for earth, whatever that may be.
20 years ago a friend and I witnessed a nearly perfect equilaterally triangular object hovering less than 30 meters in the air off the side of a rural coastal highway. It was roughly the size of a 2000 ft² ranch house, it was matte black/stealth colored and definitely something extraordinary, we stopped the car we were in and got out to get a closer look but as we approached, it took off at an extreme rate of speed, so fast that within just seconds it was out of sight over the ocean, it was near noiseless except for the sound of the air gust it made as it departed similar to a hurricane or tornado. To this day we have yet to see anything in modern technology that resembles what we saw, this was close enough that had we attempted to, we could have tossed a tennis ball or similar object and easily hit it. There's definitely something out there way more advanced than anything the world's militaries are currently employing
The Boeing joke was perfection.👌🏻

My daughter, my husband and i saw a bright white light far up in the night sky fly fast as, well, a fly. It suddenly stopped and flew twice as fast in the opposite direction. It was crazy🤷♀️
Years ago friends and I were camping on the coast in the northwest and at night we were stargazing and someone noticed what looed like a star but it was moving in a square pattern. It moved this way for enough time that we were all watching it saying what the heck could that be thinking it was some weird satellite but how would it be doing that and then it flew across the sky in less than a second disappearing in a white trail. I have no idea what it was, but to this day more than 20 years later, I'm still curious

John Oliver is simply brilliant, no matter the subject.
**Top secret aircraft accidentally leaves landing lights on**
AZ governor: “I promise a full and open investigation.”
DARPA: “You sure about that?”
Feds: you are right it was aliens and totally not our secret aircraft.
If you do the crime, you should pay the time. So in my opinion, if test pilots are dumb or careless enough to forget running lights on a secret craft, the responsibility of keeping it secret was already fucked up--the issue shouldn't just be packaged up and shipped off to politicians or agencies or even regular people to cover it up. That ship has sailed, at that point; the jig is up, and if someone investigates it they should buck up and own it up.
"Yeah, we fucked up, that was us." How hard is that?

Honestly, when ever someone says something about UFOs in the media, I treat it was a distraction from something real and bothersome.
The media don't give a shit about distracting you. They run stories they think will get people's attention. It's a business son. That's how it all works. That's why the vast majority of media is doom and gloom, because fear is what gets people's attention. Attention = higher ratings = increased profits from being able to charge higher rates for advertisements on the network segment. If they had something more "real and bothersome" than UFOs, you best believe they'd be all in on that.
Maybe they're distractions from UFOs 🤔🤔🛸🛸

Thats what I was thinking!
An example of the parallax effect can be observed when viewing objects while moving. If you are traveling in a car, the objects closer to you seem to pass by quickly, while objects in the distance appear to move slower.
I don't think that explains it.
“Flying whatsit” beats the heck out of “UFO” and “UAP”

@@billymadison8574 What's your problem with strangers having snakes for pets? Anyways, you're exceedingly more likely to be fatally attacked by a dog than by a ball python.
@@excarnator That stat prolly has a lot more to do w/ the prevalence of dog ownership than snakes. The ppl that have them also typically dont play fetch w/ their snakes.

Technically, anything can be a UFO if you're bad enough at identifying things.
And throwing things :-)
If I’m fucked up enough when I take the wheel, the streets are full of ‘em!
This is above my tech level.
I watched a video of a RUclipsr who took one of the UFO videos and was able to identify it. It was a duck the size altitude and speed were all about right. ( Could have also been a type of goose)😂. Sometimes something's not identified because it's not worth identifying

I've always wondered why anyone would doubt the existence of extra-terrestrials. We are familiar enough with life on earth and evolution, and those of us who were lucky enough to catch Carl Sagan's"Cosmos" in the 1980's are on board with the immense size of the known universe. Put those two notions together and it's not much of a stagger to conclude (as Dr. Sagan did) that there must be planets with beings that are millions of years more "advanced" or experienced with physics than ourselves. To me, it's not exotic or crazy, but common sense. (I regret that I never caught Dr. Neil de Grasse Tyson's remake of "Cosmos").
Such a strange feeling to watch this show and not feel worse about something or myself, truly amazing
A pleasant change-of-pace, for sure.
Except this was barely a good job on what has happened around all of this. No mention that Project Blue Book was designed to be a debunking study. No mention of the UAP Congressional hearing where people testified under oath. No mention of Chuck Schumer trying to pass legislation on this in the Senate. This issue is far more serious than it was presented. It was a light breeze through of surface level things.
I know, right?
