I wasn't even slightly curious, but since the "Video currently not available" I now am.
What are they covering up?!
Yes. That’s how it works.
I don't agree.
Concluding that the absence of evidence constitutes evidence of absence sounds like the logical fallacy of argument out of ignorance to me. It's not an accusation of someone being ignorant, but a term used in the field of logic.
The lack of (what would generally be accepted as) evidence doesn't prove anything beyond that we've found no evidence. But that absolutely impacts what assumptions we should make about a question that so far have no evidence either for or against.
Claim a thing, prove a thing- or be dismissed.
Everybody's free to chose who they dismiss and not and what parts of testimonies. We seemingly subscribe to two different methods of looking at the topic, I'm happy using mine until something better comes along.
Is it that anyone can say something and it’s true for you regardless of evidence?
You're always free to try to claim something and see how I react. From our interactions so far I'd say I rather try to analyze claims through the intellectual tools humanity have refined over hundreds of years to the best of my ability, and more often than not I find claims insufficiently substantiated. Like your claim of lack of proof being proof that nothing happened.
I hope I've shown you a different way of analyzing unknowns, and if not - We'll know for sure either when we meet little green men for the first time or humanity have searched every nook and cranny of the universe and found nothing.
IIRC one of the reasons why the US extradition was denied was because McKinnon has Aspergers Syndrome. He's a self-professed UFO "nut" so I'm not surprised he's posting about the subject, but if it shifts into money grifting I'd suspect someone is pushing the idea onto him. Only assumptions though.
Supposedly suppressed online. I'm still cautious about the whole thing, but when I started looking there are a lot of compilation videos etc.
other cars passing by didn’t cause a similar glare.
Car headlights are quite individual from model to model, from coverage profiles to differences like if they're using reflector or projector tech. I agree with the principle of your argument, but I think it would only work if the cars before and after were of the exact make, model and year.
I agree. I did a quick speed comparison, seems to be a reasonable conclusion. https://imgur.com/ysvhGqp
My quick and dirty speed/trajectory analysis leads me to believe it could be an reflection from the car headlight, the movement is within what I'd expect from such a situation - But with high speed and "low" recording framerates it's difficult to say for sure.
Wouldn’t you want other countries to know what you have?
The arms race always want's the other person to want the same guns as you. USA shows the world they have nukes? KGB have a target for infiltration. CIA stares at goats? Soviet creates their own supernatural weapons program.
The US has flying disks and never tells? Soviet/Russia never focuses on the field and make their own. Russia attacks the US with planes, trains and automobiles. Get shot down by flying disks, Russia have nothing comparable.
I don't believe that's what's going on but consider it a military-strategical sound doctrine. Assured destruction of the enemy sounds better than mutually assured destruction no?
But why display it when testing? Truly a strange case.
Maybe they were testing how people would react to it?
From witness interviews I seem to recall they observed a solid, V-shaped structure as it moved about (many other observations than the classic video of lights over Phoenix at nighttime, which is too dark to distinguish possible structures).
If you have access to other videos beyond the classic clip, I'l love to give it a second look.
"Someone" puts Coulthart in contact with the organization that feels ignored? Magically manifested contact details that isn't available anywhere? Kirkpatrick would love to talk, be transparent and really hammer in they've found nothing?
It's almost like it's a move from the secret keepers to make their cover-up relevant again since the public simply skipped the entire "AARO found nothing"-part. It's almost like Kirkpatrick even threw in an easily decoded red herring with the Latin - Because now we (the self-proclaimed people who sees through the veil) can feel like we are on the inside too! It's conspiracy theorist bait.
I interpret this as one of the more desperate means to regain narrative control I've ever seen. When the presence and authority of AARO was painfully lacking in the recent hearing and begging for relevance on Linkedin didn't work out as intended, they've started working with exclusive access for high profiles in the field. I expect the next step would be a limited hangout, where Coulthart will get exclusive information through this new-found connection and he won't hesitate to share it with the UFO community.
Besides some of the steps being jumbled, this is pretty much exactly what I'd expect the secret keepers to do to maintain the secret.
This made me cautious about Coulthart and I think I'll have to find out more about him since he has a seemingly prominent role in the UFO community.
