on HN thread Rep Tim Burchett Says New UFO Videos Aren't Russians, 'Out of Our Galaxy'
Roswell was a cover up, so the Soviet Union wouldn't know we could detect their above ground nuclear tests via sound carried in the stratosphere. [link] I strongly agree that if the Nazis, Soviets, or any other opponent had technology of the sort that allowed antigravity, history couldn't have unfolded the way it did. I have zero faith that space aliens have anything to do with the fuzzy triangles or tic-tac videos. Those have far simpler explanations. See this video by "Thunderf00t" which gives really good earthy reasons for what's been seen. [this video]

on HN thread UFOs: 'These objects show physics we don't understand'
I've said it once, I'll say it again-- these videos are all explained and all have been debunked. This is most likely a advertisement for the US Military's ability to track very small things such as drones. If there are videos of things that might be alien-- these are not them.
