re: UAPs are now proven to exist per open scientific investigation which will be peer reviewed

The thread title is fricking hilarious

They have a machine that can make these things show up.

But they still can’t get a good photo of them and also can’t trace them back to where they came from?

Seems legit

What’s a uap

I was curious about this and started digging into it. Oddly there don’t appear to be any bios on the company’s website, just names/photos. But here’s what I could dig up:

Jacob Barber
Can’t find a full bio, but he’s a helicopter pilot (apparently an Air Force vet?) who recently said that he retrieved downed aircraft of “non-human” origin for the government.

Education: Unclear

James Fowler
Can’t find anything on this guy.

Harris Professor Endowed Chair in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine. Nolan founded biotechnology companies, and wrote numerous medical research papers.

Education:
- Bachelor’s degree in biology from Cornell University
- PhD in genetics from Stanford University

Dr. Joseph DiNoto, DSS
Currently Executive Director of Strategy at Obsidian Consulting. I’ve been trying to figure out what this company actually does, and it’s a mystery to me. Maybe someone else can figure it out. https://obsidianconsults.com/

Previously held a few other private sector jobs at government contractors, and appears to have had a pretty long and somewhat (at least on a bio) impressive career with the government working mainly in the security field.

Education:
- Doctorate in Strategic Security Studies with a specialization in National Security Strategy from the Henley-Putnam School of Strategic Security at National American University
(National American University is an online, for-profit university formerly known as Texas Gulf Institute.)
- MA, Global Strategy and International Affairs from Excelsior University
(Another online private university.)
- BS, Intelligence Studies and National Security Affairs from Empire State University

James Hodgkins
Apparently a self-described “psionic asset” at Skywatcher, he has also claimed that the aliens told him that they come from the “afterlife.”

Jordan Jozak
From Xwitter:

quote:

---

Jordan Jozak was part of a "psionic exploitation program" until 2010 that he says developed ability to communicate w/ non-human aircraft via consciousness. "My consciousness could project into these craft..and access a suite of commands...to do various things including piloting"

---

Michael Battista
Another “psionic operative” who says he can “summon” UAPs at will.

Fred Baker
Another Air Force vet and UAP whistleblower.

Don Paul Bales
A former Arkansas police officer who was fired from the Fort Smith PD. Now a professional MMA coach.

Dan Flechsenhaar
Another Air Force vet.

This is the team that’s listed under the “about” section of Skywatcher’s website. They are not “headed by Stanford professors etc.”; the one actual PhD on the team is an immunologist.

So we have:
- One PhD (an immunologist).
- One guy with a “doctorate of strategic security studies” from a degree mill and a cybersecurity background, albeit with the US government.
- Another cybersecurity/crypto guy with a philosophy master’s.
- A VC guy that got rich at a young age (presumably funding the operation).
- 3 Air Force vets (one of which appears to run the company).
- 3 “psionic operatives.”
- An Arkansas cop who got fired and became an MMA instructor.
- A guy with no background I can find online.

If I’m being honest, the job histories and backgrounds of some of these guys scream “grift.” Maybe they’re legit, but this doesn’t look nearly as “open” or “scientific” as you make it out to be.

UAPs are now proven to exist per open scientific investigation which will be peer reviewed

I look forward to seeing the follow-up when they publish. Let us know what journal.

I like how the people who don't believe in UFO, UAPs, etc shite on people who do. As if they have proven there isn't life beyond Earth. Until you can prove without a doubt there isn't life elsewhere, there is the possibility.

It’s just becoming public because of future events

Go on.

I completely understand it. I don’t want to believe in them either. It fricks up my entire fricking life. I have worked my whole life to retire comfortably and now that may have all been a complete waste of time.

Unfortunately, they don’t give a frick about my state of mind or well being. They just show up again and again.

Mick West explains those flir tic tacs pretty well. Look the videos up on YouTube

Mick does a good job on video analysis and offers compelling possible prosaic explanations of what was recorded and released to the public. I have nothing but respect for him and think is a valuable asset to the UAP community....however he nor anyone else outside the military has been privy to all the data involving the Nimitz encounters that went on for weeks. The videos he analyzed were just snippets of much larger story. In fairness he has interviewed as many folks as he could to discuss and learn as much as he can on the encounter and those interviews were really informative and respectful.

We don’t know WTF these UAPs are but they are proven to a scientific certainty they exist.

That was proven decades ago. The burning question is whether they are of earthly origins or extra-terrestrial.
