Prediction for the coming Eclipse:

No, no aliens, what you believe is far, far sillier.

Humans have been far more capable for far longer than modern science wishes to admit?

And your evidence is where? I'll give you a few minutes to pluck it from between your arse cheeks.

The load on the network is lower at night. People are in bed asleep (mostly). This is not the case during an eclipse. The network load will increase.

That said, totality does not last as long as a whole night. And there are various means of accommodating sudden short surges in demand and loss of capacity. Doom-mongers always forget those for reasons of convenience. They forget that their doomy mindset blinds them to the subtleties of the situation.

In actual fact, the doom-mongers will jump on ANY subtlety as an admission that the chosen DOOM will occur.

Outages, if any, will be short-lived and trivial.

Burglaries.
 
Let's be serious for a moment. KOTA has made a prediction and it will in all likelihood come true: That there will be multiple sightings of UFOs with camera footage, etc. There are such sightings and recordings all the time so I think it's reasonable to suspect that such sightings will go up at a time when everyone is looking up. The problem is that all of them can be explained by fakes or more mundane phenomena. Even if we can't precisely determine what that weird thing in the sky is, we simply don't have enough evidence to make the leap to "ancient astronauts," or "aliens."

I realize that it's entertaining to consider the possibilities and come up with elaborate explanations with no evidence. And if that's all the KOTA is doing then, have fun, I guess. I myself got over being entertained by UFOs and such at about the same time I realized that professional wrestling was kayfabe.

So it can pretty much all be summed up by the one line: same ****, different day.

People who think they see a UFO every time they look up, will no doubt continue to see a UFO every time they look up, much like Bigfoot believers tend to see 'Squatch activity every time they take a stroll through the shrubbery behind the local supermarket, or ghost believers see evidence of haunting's in every abandoned building they enter, because...cobwebs.

The trouble is, the UFO hunters have about as much evidence as the Bigfooters and the ghost wranglers.

Naught point naught pence.

0.0p

This is why they get fingers pointed at them and hear the constantly audible giggle of a person who's heard it all before with cherries on top and at this point is basically joining in for a laugh.

And that is fine. But KOTA claims they are reality. All of them. Atlantis was in Spain, in Morocco, in the med, in the mid atlantic, in Greece, in the middle east, somewhere, possibly North America, maybe Japan.

Wherever it was, those ancient spacefaring human ancestors climbed on their spaceships and left, living aboard ship for thousands of years and avoiding all contact with the human remnant on earth because...reasons. They have been hiding and playing a celestial game of peek-a-boo because that is how they get their jollies.

Inevitably, the argument will be made that humanity is not ready to handle such advanced technology, but that makes it worse. These imaginary Atlanteans are hiding behind the Sun and simply don't care about anyone on Earth. That makes them malevolent. They are thus simply waiting to take over when we die off. Even that is odd. Why wait when they could wipe us out at a whim?

It is certain that there will be various CMEs, flares etc as occurs at every eclipse. The crank fraternity will variously interpret those as god, angels, spirits, aliens, advanced humans, pixies and whatever you like. It happens at every eclipse. Nothing ever comes of it.
 
If you believe UFO's are hoaxes, misidentifications, or some other debunking explanation...then peer at the eclipse (*with protective eye gear) and a camera in hand...

UFO's are a real non-human phenomena driven by an intelligent force.

If you are interested, evidence will appear shortly.

Cool assertion, bro... What form will this evdence take? And why?

Which is it? Humans from an earlier, undocumented, technologically advanced civilization, or intelligent non-humans?
Or are we getting into Lovecraft territory, with ancient non-human civilizations that dominated the Earth before the evolution of Humanity. Elder Things, Yithians, Serpent Men, Flying Polyps...

Power outages due to solar power/solar eclipse has little to do with lack of power and more to do with hard to anticipate fluctuations in power generation. Unless major solar farms are taking off the grid for the duration, the fast loss and return of power could very well cause enough imbalance in some states to trigger emergency shutdowns.

I don't know.

I know I am human. I know human pilots cannot withstand the g-forces associated with the arial maneuvers I witnessed.

My conclusion is that they were non-human intelligently driven objects.

Grays, sons of god, men of renown, I simply don't have a definition for things I know nothing of.

How did you rule out the alternative, and on the face of it far more likely, conclusion that you misinterpreted whatever it was you witnessed?

Really, there's no need to do any of that.,
There's going to be a ton of images and footage of the event as there normally is when it's not in the middle of nowhere. There's loads online.

And nary a one is populated by aliens playing peek-a-boo.

Oh for crying out loud!

There is no way that a person can determine the G loading on an aircraft simply by looking at it without having a good bit of supplemental data as well. Such as the radius of the turn, the speed of the turn, and so on.

Also, there are military aircraft which do all sorts of maneuvers that are quite astounding, but are entirely possible to do.

All that you have done is see funny points of light in the sky which could have been any number of things and now you are assuming that these funny points of light are actually aircraft/spacecraft of some sort and that you can determine the G loading of these craft simply by looking at them.

I've piloted a single engine aircraft (never land or took off). I've seen F-22 Raptors at air shows do tight turns, and I am able to identify different types of heavenly objects with objective lens.

What I saw performed maneuvers the would have killed human pilots.

I am a IFR licensed pilot who used to own one airplane and have a partial ownership of another plane, and I have taken off and landed planes hundreds of times. I also spent over three years on an aircraft carrier, I have been to number of air shows, I have studied all sorts of planes, so I have seen planes do sorts of things as well.

And I still say that you are talking a load of crap.

You do not even know if what you saw was actually a manned aircraft or not. It could have been a drone, a missile, a helicopter, a plane equipped with thrust vectoring, RPV, or something completely different.

People have reported all sorts of strange things in sky for thousands of years, and yet there is not even one case which shows that what is seen is somehow the product of some sort of non-human civilization.

So if you can actually provide any evidence for your claim, then do so.
