It's likely even more boring than that. These grainy, blurry, IR images are artifacts, birds, balloons, the Moon, commercial aircraft, stars, satellites, and other common things that can look weird from certain angles/perspectives/lenses/sensors.

I'd be super happy to be proven wrong but people really want to believe there's more out there and it's visiting us but I'm going to need more solid proof than some noisy and blurry images and some silly-looking chimera mummies in a box.

Yeah the vast majority are just artifacts or weather phenomena, and the only material evidence is clearly man made tech. Also when people describe aliens they, big surprise, match depictions in science fiction.

Tic tac was recorded on video by the navy accelerating at ~200G. It was also witnessed by 8 highly trained aircrew, including top gun graduates.

Flir.mp4 at the bottom. NASA analyzed gofast which is the least interesting of the 3.

200g *if * they are interpreting what they see correctly. A sensor artifact doesn't need to respect any flight characteristics.

Being experts in one field doesn't make them experts in whatever may be causing the tic tac.
