All About UFO's

[Axo1989]

I can't think of a bigger question I'd like an answer to before I die than if we are alone in the universe. That seems self evident to me, and I will give up all my audio gear if it means knowing the answer.

That’s some commitment! It looks like you are in the bargaining stage of grief.

But I’m with @Mart68 in being way less bothered. I’d not be giving up music for anything (like that).

To be fair, most of those pages from comments from those who have strong positions and opinions, who have likley not done 15 minutes of investigation into the topic. Not sure we can, or at least should, view that as interest per se. But, it's no longer a fringe topic and getting attention from those communities (scientific, gov, etc) it should have been getting attention all along.

I’ve done hours n’ hours of research and investigation into the topic of aliens/ufo’s.

I’ve watched interstellar, arrival, contact, et, under the skin etc…etc….

Great effort! You remind me I haven’t watched Under the Skin yet … a sin of omission for sure.

Filmed in my nearest Scottish city of Glasgow, and up into Glen Coe…..quite a disturbing film but one of my fave’s, excellent soundtrack by mica Levi as well.

Imaging technology has improved since the 50’s but images of UFOs have not. Is this due to alien masking technology? Also aren’t most of the whistleblowers batsh*t crazy?

I’d prefer to see world peace before I die. But there’s no evidence for that either.

1. The vastness and age of the universe statjsricallly points to likelihood of numerous development of intelligent life
2. The speed of liight limitation makes it statistically unlikely that the instances of life would ever contact each other unless they occurred in the same solar system in the same era.
3.Advancements in astronomy may some day spot evidence of past life in another solar system and that would be something to strive for and probably the best we can ever get.
4. Overcome time or light speed physics then that would change everything. But it also would change the concept of life and death and time or reality.
5. We also could find evidence we are a simulation or a manifestation of God and then that changes everything also.
6. Lastly, under any of the sceneries if any law of physics either is evolving, changes, dissipates, is variable or is actively changed by a creator or super intelligent species all bets are off as well.

However in none of these instances does your audio gear change the sound of your music without a change in loudness of a frequency up or down. There is no chocolatier sounding universe

Closer you get to the origin of the Big Bang the warmer your system will sound.

This seems intuitively likely, but actually there are no statistics about the prevalence of life in the universe, because the only life we know of is on earth.

We could be the only intelligence in the universe... We could even be the only intelligence in this universe and the next 5 down the road. We just don't know yet.

The thing that could help would be the determination of how many times eukaryotic life evolved independently on Earth. If the answer is only once in four billion years, that would point to how very rare it is for advanced life to develop anywhere. If, on the other hand, the evidence point to it developing several times over the course of the evolution of life here, that would tells us something about the inevitability of it happening in other biomes, and make everyone a lot more sanguine that we are not alone.

I’m on board with all six points. Discovering something like warp speed or proving we’re inside a cosmic sim would be remarkable. But let’s be honest, my real mission is getting my DAC to whisper chocolate-smooth midbass through my favorite tracks without needing snake-oil cables or unicorn dust capacitors.

Review and analysis of one UAP that remains anomalous:

"A Forensic Analysis of “Rubber Duck,” a Publicly Available Video Showing a UAP
Purportedly Filmed by Arizona National Guard on November 23, 2019"

Abstract:
A multi-faceted, forensic-type analysis was conducted of what has been termed the “Rubber Duck”
videos. These are two publicly available .mp4 files that appear to show an unidentified aerospace
phenomenon (UAP) moving with no means of propulsion or aerodynamic means of lift across a desert
environment. These two, 30 min clips, “Rubber Duck 1 & 2”, are claimed to be from an anonymous
source at the Department of Homeland Security. They were purportedly taken from a FLIR camera
system onboard a RC-26B aircraft used by the Arizona Air National Guard on November 23, 2019.
Data displayed on both videos are consistent with video being taken while in flight over the route
described by the source. SCU was provided these videos by podcaster Andy Marcial. Kinematics,
trajectory, rotation, flight characteristics (including parallax), lighting and temperature are investigated,
as well as environmental weather conditions. The results of this analysis support the conclusion that the
object cannot be explained as any known natural phenomenon or by any known technology used for
aeronautical propulsion. As such, the object can be classified as a UAP. Such objects can be a hazard to
aerial transportation, a dangerous distraction to pilots in certain situations, and are worthy of scientific
investigation.

An interview with the author of the paper, as well as others commenting on the same topic. He makes no claims other than it's anomalous and not explained by usual suspects, balloons, drones, birds, etc. I would be interested to see if other relevant scientists agree with his assessments/findings. The others add some additional thoughts/positions, none claim they know what they are but require, and deserve additional and serious study:

The pilots who made the vid said it was going against the wind, temp was cold not hot, etc and feel the balloon explanation is not possible. Regardless, it's at best anomalous and any claims made about it being anomalous should withstand common explanations. I do find West often guilty of cherry picking things and ignoring other explanations by those who were actually there, and or, have considerably more knowledge than he does, which is same as those who want everything to be alien tech do. I do think for those with time and interest to read the West thread for counter points if interested.

I am sure virtually all ASR members/readers are staunch advocates of feelings-based conclusions.
No wonder Audioquest does so well.

Per the parts you didn't bold: "The pilots who made the vid said it was going against the wind, temp was cold not hot, etc." Hence they were convinced, due to that evidence, it was not a balloon.

 

[mhardy6647]

So they said.
