Absolutely, David Fravor’s (the pilot who actually chased the thing) interview with Joe Rogan[1] was one of the most compelling eyewitness accounts I’ve seen, and with that the associated video has a lot more context. If these things really do behave in the way he’s described, ET or not it suggests a fundamental leap in technology - it baffles me that there isn’t more interest. [1] [this video]

Last week Rogan had Capt Fravor who was one of the alleged witnesses to the "tictac" video that the pentagon confirmed the legitimacy of 2 years ago. Worth watching if you're into this kind of thing. [this video]

Joe Rogan did a great Podcast with one of the pilots in this incident: [this video] Here's a short clip from it: [LINK] He's really knowledgeable, has a ton of flight experience and carefully details everything his and the other pilots see from their aircraft.

I'm definitely extremely skeptical about whether or not its true, but the theory being argued for the nimitz sighting is that it bends space in front of and behind the craft for propulsion, but not sure what that would mean for sonic booms. It's kind of like putting a bowling ball on a bed and pushing your hand down in front of the ball and pulling up on the bed behind it to move the ball. Again, I'm very skeptical about it.. but it seems potentially plausible. This joe rogan episode where he interviews a navy pilot was pretty interesting: [this video]

> You mentioned restricted airspace etc, but AFAIK there's no info on the GIMBAL video apart from that it was taken somewhere on the East Coast. Correct, there is significantly less background here than on the Nimitz video, to which I was referring. I've seen all of Mick West's videos in this playlist now, and his explanation for the Nimitz footage is even weaker than for Gimbal. He skips the difficult points such as accounting for movement of the object and the momentary loss of target lock for FLIR-1. He fixates on the rotation of the targeting pod, which may be valid, but doesn't seem as interesting to me as the fact that there are no heat plumes coming from this "jet" in Gimbal. It seems

I was watching Roe Rogan's podcast with one of the Tic-Tac incident jet pilot, in particular this part: [this video] [A cube floating into a spherical force field] It made me thought of Salvatore Pais other patents on the subject.

What blows my mind is that we have recorded evidence of UFOs with seemingly advanced space flight technology (on camera!) that has been recorded by the Navy. What do people make of this? I'm super curious. Aliens? Skunkworks style deep-state secret stuff? The Russians? What? Personally, the only thing I can think of is aliens. I mean...come on! [this video]

Is this a submarine[1] article? Honestly reads like CIA agitprop regarding UFOs and the like. I mean, he quite literally says in the subtitle: > should remind us that seeing shouldn't mean believing. It's clear to anyone who has done research into UFOs that the whole phenomena was a US military psyop (I can provide sources if anybody asks). However , the new stuff coming out from the community may finally reveal the truth: [2][3] [1] [LINK] [2] [LINK] [3] [this video]
