DJ, I can't justify why they didn't switch to helmet cam recording other than it's not often used. Take these points up with the US Navy.

I don't believe for a second that it isn't common policy to leave stuff recording while you're flying these things, just in case something happens.

Even if it isn't on already, not turning on recording when you see something anomalous, ESPECIALLY if it could be some kind of advanced Russian craft or god knows what in your airspace, is as suspicious as a cop who claims that during the hour of the incident their bodycam was turned off "to preserve battery".

You told me he was a top notch professional? Being extremely prepared and having nerves of steel kinda comes with the territory of being a fighter pilot, doen't it?

Fuck the flashy presentation of this re-enactment, they have to make it sexy because most of the audience for this stuff are loons? Whatever, it's the series of events which interests me. Watch or not, up to you.

Does that video have the footage from Fravor's plane? What timepoint should I jump to?

I'm asking for the video from the jet - like those other 3.

I guess if we had all ducks in a row, there would be no room for speculation.

Fravor and his WSO admit to be 'weirded out', shitting himself were my words.

Sorry, didn't realise the video was short - thought it was a whole show.

There isn't. He said it wasn't usually used so he didn't think to turn it on. If it was a question of a couple of seconds I could believe it, but it wasn't.

"Didn't think to turn it on" when 2 jets are being sent to investigate an anomalous ping on the special spy radar seems incredibly suspicious to me. As soon as you're being sent to look at unknown contact off the coast you should be recording everything. Plus 2 jets means 4 people involved, doesn't it? Surely one of them would have been making sure it was getting recorded in case it was the Russians or something.
 
I mean, I remain dubious that the second radar contact at the CAP point is the same object. It could be a 2nd drone or whatever of the same type, or it could be something completely different. Why presume it's the same thing and that it can travel over 3700 mph, when the more obvious explanation is its a different thing? What did they see when they got there, the same object or something that looked the same?

So then later they send another jet up and he gets the "FLIR" video, but I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary in that one.

Dunno, but be careful as there will be a video from a keyboard warrior with a ruler and a trigonometry set explaining how it couldnt possibly be your infrared arse but a weather balloon shaped like your arse.

Do ghosts count as weird??
I dont believe in them, but my nerves were tested a few years back.

My then toddler son, he was 2 ish, slept in a room with his 5 year old brother at my then house in longbridge. The house used to belong to an elderly couple who both died in that very room. Not at the same time. Husband first then wife a few years later. We bought it from the son about 6 months after his mom died.

The family’s eldest daughter, a weird stressy older women in her 50’s lived 3 doors down. She used to try snd cut my front lawn until i told her to pack it in.

Anyway. My son would wake crying in the night. I would go to him and the room would stink of fags. Fresh smoke. He told me he had a nightmare but the old lady in her nightie came from the dark and rubbed his feet. Oddly rather than freak him out this calmed him down. This happened over s period of months, 2-3 times a week. We were a bit spooked and laughed about ghosts.

One night about 9pm i went from my lounge to the kitchen via tge back lounge door, the front opened to the hallway by the front door. I didnt turn the light on in the kitchen. I just opened the fridge. I shit myself. Stood in the hallway was a woman in her nightdress. I could only see the outline. I freaked. The door was always locked. Wtf was this??

Turns out after my then wife turned the lights on it was the old ladies daughter, she still had keys. She was letting herself in to sit in the bedrooms!

Yup. That's mental.

To think we thought ghosts??? But no. Some weird middle aged woman was sat in my kids bedroom. Hiding? when we went in to check them then letting herself out, locking door behind her.

On the night i found her in the hall she started screaming she was sorry and fled. We called the police. They searched her house and bought every set of keys they could find (6 bunches) and none fitted our door. We think she ran hone and hid them so we changed the locks.

She always referred to our house as “my moms house”

She killed herself 3 weeks after we changed the locks

Ah, I do like a happy ending.

You can prove anything with facts, can't you? Th se Fancy Dan's using logic and arguments, how fucking dare they! Can't they see my tore-ass ass!

I always liked the idea that ufos are humans travelling back in time. The reason they have to travel in ships is because the earth moves through space, you can't simply time travel and hope to remain in the same physical point on the planet.
So time travel means they have to essentially catch up to where the earth is at that point.
So travelling back hundreds of years can be impossible because of the huge journey on the other side.

Fravor assumed it was drug runners off the West coast, when in reality it was Klingons off the starboard bow.

It's worse than that Jim.

Inter dimensional travel makes more sense than time travel tbh
