Cont: UFOs: The Research, the Evidence

[stanfr]

Mick West already debunked this, but there's a little more here about what the geniuses in congress are saying about it:

I just watched that...a pretty good debunk, balloon seems likely. I'm still a bit puzzled by the trajectory of the missile--it doesn't 'bounce off' per se but it clearly changes direction. Could a balloon transfer momentum in a way to induce that altered path?
ETA: slowed down, it doesn't change direction at all, it moves in pretty much a straight line. The path changes before impact, presumably since it is laser guided.

I think it was one of those "Flying Ginsu" hellfire missiles. That's Mick West said anyway. He has a little more information on the technical side.
Basically, instead of an explosive warhead, the missile has a bunch of spinning blades. I think it would change direction at least slightly.

The formal name is AGM-114R-9X

Lauren Boebert will take a hands on approach to Space Aliens:

So taking the reverse Kirk/Riker approach to them then lol
(they both seemed to like the 'hands on' approach- if you know what I mean lol)

Lauren Boebert will take a hands on approach to Space Aliens:

One line from her press release doesn’t ring true. ok most of it is bs, but this stood out as hilariously missing the Republican PR MO,

“The American people aren’t children to be spoon-fed half-truths or dismissed with vague excuses.”

Well Sabine Hossenfelder is having a field day with her anti-science audience, now that there is 'statistical evidence' of UAPs existing before 1957, according to this paper just published in Nature. The authors claim a small but significant correlation of UAP reports with nuclear testing during the time these 'anomalous' supposedly artificial objects appeared on photos taken at the same time. I haven't read the whole paper yet, just the conclusions, but can't say I'm terribly excited by the evidence, which shows white dots identical to the natural white dots surrounding them (stars)
ALIENS!

That's too bad. She did really good work when she first started her channel.

I remember reading claims about UFOs seen around nuclear tests decades ago, probably in one of the woo books I read as a kid, like Ripley 's Believe It or Not- Stars Space and UFOs.
Everything old is new again.

Indeed. Project Twinkle was created ca. 1948 to assess the possible alien or Soviet origin of green fireballs.

Turned out to be meteors.

Strictly speaking that's alien.

Yeah but they are legal aliens so they're not a threat,

Meteors have been coming before and after the nuclear tests.

Yes, after three years of investigation Project Twinkle figured that out and closed down.

She wasn't getting the viewership or accolades she felt she was entitled to so she did a Peterson.

Well, the game is up. The US has finally unleashed its brightest mind.

We're astrophysists and we need your help studying the physics when two large spherical objects collide, would you mind jumping up and down?

Can you link to the actual story, please? A screenshot is useless here. For all we know, you manufactured this image.

Ya know, it took me all of 2 seconds to google it. The actual story obviously is more interesting than the Post's version of it lol.

I'm not seeing it on very many high-quality news sites, but it does seem to be all over the tabloids.

The dc;dbl is that she is a moon landing denier.

Well the real story is that it is Avi Loeb, who is a genuine scientist but also a world class grifter, who invited Kardashian to his grand hunt for ALIENS! Prof Dave does a thorough job dismantling Loeb here:
