    AARO's Historical UAP Report - Volume 1

    Ah, right. Well, I'd say I didn't believe them before because the material has neither provenience nor provenance (we don't know where it came from and how it got here), because the claims are physically impossible, and had not been demonstrated ("no science"). 5 years ago TTSA entered a CRADA...

    AARO's Historical UAP Report - Volume 1

    I'm not quite sure I follow, because I don't understand what "people" and "person" signify. Before: "We don't trust Kirkpatrick because nobody knows what he does." After: "We don't trust Kirkpatrick because there's no evidence he did what he said he did." It's a variation of the conspiracy...

    AARO Historical Report vol.1 press conference with Tim Phillips

    The context here is that UFO reports are often classified. Tim Phillips details that in many cases, the observers actually saw secret US technology that was unknown to them, looking like UFOs do in popular culture. The report is then classified because it is of classified technology, not...

    As I was reading your post, I was thinking, AARO had full access to those exact microfiches, they'd have sent someone to look for these symbols and figure out which case it was, but when he doesn't even have those.... His "evidence" is, "there's a picture of what looks like a UFO in the Blue...

    Are Many of the Navy UAPs Mylar Balloons?

    The aircraft in the second case was a Piper PA30. Compared to bird strikes or cable strikes, balloon strikes are rare. I've even read of an aircraft that had its wing clipped by flying into the cable of a tethered balloon clearly marked on the map!

    Before March 6: there is no evidence for aliens March 6: AARO report comes out After March 6: still no evidence for aliens Explain to me what's invalid or biased about this, please? When it comes to whose claims I trust more, an ex-IC UFO believer on TV or a goverment agency with filing...

    AARO's Historical UAP Report - Volume 1

    The UFOlogist's hope is that the claim is true, and that someone can come up with a way to prove it: a scientist in a lab coat puts the sample under a microscope and shouts, "hoo boy, that one sure looks extraterrestrial", or engineers replicate the material and find it has magical properties...

    AARO's Historical UAP Report - Volume 1

    I made a new thread for the press briefing ("media engagement") by acting AARO director Tim Phillips that accompanied the release of this report, because he talked about interesting stuff that's not in the report, and this thread is large enough as it is. It's at...

    No unusual properties of that material have been demonstrated, to my knowledge.

    AARO's Historical UAP Report - Volume 1

    I quoted parts of the CRADA (Cooperative Research And Development Agreement) above. The DoD could classify the test results, but if the material is unremarkable, there'd be no justification. TTSA could always invoke Congressional oversight, i.e. they could tell someone on an appropriate...

    AARO's Historical UAP Report - Volume 1

    Compare: AARO seems to think that this material has known military application; if this is true, TTSA misrepresented that material to the Army—in effect, "here's some scrapings from an Air Force jet, maybe it can make your trucks fly." ;) (To be fair, TTSA probably did not know that—dangers...

    AARO's Historical UAP Report - Volume 1

    1. This is a webforum, not a journal. 2. Did you check the reference thread? 3. There was no need to quote that post in full. 4. You've still not told us what exactly you claim Chuck Schumer said, or backed it up with a source.

    AARO's Historical UAP Report - Volume 1

    So the question is, what amount of information is exempt from TTSA permission, and what did TTSA permit to be released? I suspect that, again, the UFOlogists are the ones keeping secrets. CRADA excerpts: https://documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/army/TTSA-ARMY-CRADA.pdf

    AARO's Historical UAP Report - Volume 1

    Yes. In a way, the move from aliens and UFOs to NHIs and UAPs means more assumptions are getting stripped away, until what remains is "anything unknown", with the implicit title of "if you can't explain what it is, I'll believe it is what I want". In the present context of AARO and...
