That’s what I would guess too, but technology sufficiently advanced to appear paranormal to us might be able to operate in plain sight, because witnesses wouldn’t believe their eyes.

I’ve been meaning to put up a post on the mid-air laser plasmas formed by crossing beams. I gather that some form of adaptive optics system is employed to keep them focused.

I’ve often thought the same thing about cattle mutilations. It seems a great way to test non-conventional aircraft in the field. The problem comes if one of them gets smacked. Maybe they’re remote operated drones with real-looking alien dummies in them in case of a mishap.

Your comment about the state of ufological belief re “crashed UFOs” is about the same as my own take on the subject and a good adjunct to the post.

Try this on for size:

Propulsion for spacetime travel seemingly defy relativity by reversing spacetime. The perfect brain-universe interface. What nanoparticles are the real electrostatic energy — for that LaViolette’s book seemingly defy relativity stuff. Can store electrostatic pressure. Biological ion gate focused on “metamaterials” which perfect brain-universe interface. Sonofusion propulsion seemingly defy relativity by reversing spacetime.

What about the Fatima visions? That’s alien 3D iMAX

They were probably up there consuming their equivalent of abusive drugs and laughing at all of us, as we formulated our belief systems around their theatrics.

I keep forgetting to mention a new technology that could cause more ufo reports in the future: laser plasma volumetric displays. So far it’s small, a bit noisy, and doesn’t project that far but there are lots of annoying and maybe dangerous future possibilities. I don’t know if the plasma is hot enough to harm birds and bats or bring down a hot air balloon for instance. You can find the Japanese research company’s website by googling, “Three Dimensional Images in the Air”. There are also some youtube videos.

Though it seems plausible, if you look at where we’ve come in the last 100 years in terms of technology; I don’t know what to believe, to be honest. I’ve always said, when I see and experience it for myself, I’ll believe it.

If you gave Christopher Columbus a nuclear submarine and an unlimited budget, and told him to make 3 of them; do you think he’d be able to pull it off? Probably not…

I’ve often pondered what might happen if one of these ranchers who’s fed up with cattle mutilation were to create an interesting diversion with appropriate weapons and took down an invading craft, if we’d find inside a bunch of dead military/CIA officials.

How embarrassing would that be for them.

Anyone got an ion cannon to sell?
