re: American Airlines not denying possible UFO spotting, says: 'Talk to the FBI'

Just wait till the public seeing the flying rectangles. They spin end to end lengthwise. Give the illusion of a cube in a sphere.

Why would it be aliens and not some enemy capable of being somewhere and doing something we can't believe or don't want to let regular people know about.

Or just our own capabilities that we want to keep secret for now.

Because trained observers involved in the Tic Tac experience, for example, say things like this:

The thing that stood out to me the most was how erratic it was behaving. And what I mean by “erratic” is that its changes in altitude, air speed, and aspect were just unlike things that I’ve ever encountered before flying against other air targets. It was just behaving in ways that aren’t physically normal. That’s what caught my eye. Because, aircraft, whether they’re manned or unmanned, still have to obey the laws of physics. They have to have some source of lift, some source of propulsion. The Tic Tac was not doing that. It was going from like 50,000 feet to, you know, a hundred feet in like seconds, which is not possible.

If it was obeying physics like a normal object that you would encounter in the sky — an aircraft, or a cruise missile, or some sort of special project that the government didn’t tell you about — that would have made more sense to me. The part that drew our attention was how it wasn’t behaving within the normal laws of physics. You’re up there flying, like, “Okay. It’s not behaving in a manner that’s predictable or is normal by how flying objects physically move.”

How can we rule out that Earth does not have some type of metal, or mineral that doesn’t exist elsewhere in the universe, we could be the only planet covered with water for all we know.

The overwhelming evidence is that we are an average rocky planet orbiting a boring arse, middle of the road star, why/how the frick would anything unique have formed here?

We already know that we aren't the only planet with water. How high are you?

Like anything else in science, you can’t - but it’s exceedingly unlikely. None of the elements on Earth actually originated on Earth (with the exception of man made elements that have no stable isotopes).

Hydrogen and helium came from the formation of the universe, or so we think. But they are the most common elements in the universe anyway so it doesn’t really matter. Most other elements are produced by dying stars, as the loss of hydrogen and helium leads to heavier fuel and fusion products. A couple of lighter elements are produced by fission from cosmic rays.

So not only did most of the matter on Earth not originate on Earth - it didn’t even originate in our solar system, as heavier elements are all produced when stars either die or collide. If it exists on Earth, it should exist on other planets as well.

And this is kind of my point about the economics. It’s unlikely that Earth is the only planet (or one of a few planets) with liquid water. However, that is certainly more likely than Earth being home to some rare mineral. But here’s the thing - if a civilization has the technology and the energy needed to achieve interstellar space travel, why would they need to come to Earth for water? They could just as easily use that energy to melt the ice that is vastly more abundant elsewhere in the universe.

The same can be said for minerals - traveling all the way to Earth to mine materials and transport them back would be less efficient than simply synthesizing those materials through fusion/fission and chemistry.

Is it impossible for resources to be the motivation? No, but it’s far from the most likely reason.

No, it's not. If they are coming here, it's likely for a purpose and that purpose would almost have to be resources. Peace and equality and truth and freedom make catchy slogans, but history says expansion is a bad thing for the natives.

so youre point is a galaxy faring peoples need our resources and will surely wipe us natives out....although they haven't made a single act of agression nor taken any resources? For them to be galaxy faring they probably would have had to master manipulation of things like pesky resources.

lmao its nonsense to assume they would evolve under the same or even similar selective pressures we see on earth let alone have equivalent cognition/behavior as humans.
