This man, Tim Gallaudet was the Navy’s chief meteorologist during the famous F/A-18F Super Hornet encounters with UFOs.
Bona fides: I’m one class short of a physics minor, I am a daily reader of phys.org, and I pay attention to military acquisition stuff. I am just a lay person, but a very well read one.
Here is what I got out of these videos.
Navy cruisers and fighters have tracked objects that were noticed at 80,000’. That’s cruising altitude for the now retired SR-71, the service ceiling for the Super Hornet is 50,000.
The objects dropped to 20,000’ coming to a full stop hover essentially instantly. The only thing humans build that might be able to hover at that altitude is a SpaceX Falcon booster.
The deceleration the objects experienced was in the realm of 13,000g. Our fighter pilots experience a maximum of 9g in a hard turn, which requires intense training and a suit with pressurized legs to keep them from blacking out. When an artillery shell is fired it experiences about 20,000g.
The objects emitted no thermal plume while moving. The objects emitted no thermal plume while hovering. There is nothing humans can build twelve meters long that would either move or remain still in the air without emitting heat. A high performance turbine helicopter would struggle to hover above 10,000’.
That’s just the “it’s not an aircraft as we know such things” portion. These things appear/disappear at will, and as described in this video they cross the air/sea boundary without creating any disturbance.
The least nonsensical explanation I can come up with is not that these objects are interstellar travelers, the capabilities seem more interdimensional in nature. We experience three physical and one temporal dimensions from our current position in the universe but M-theory fits our observations of the universe and it specifies seven additional dimensions. Perhaps the enormous filaments of dark matter that gravitationally bind the galaxies we can see are the origin of our visitors.
If you want to dig deeper in this area, Dr. Becky Smethhurst produces engaging videos on astrophysics. Among the big things we don’t know at this time is this “axis of evil” business, wherein the Earth is aligned with far too many things in the universe. The other hot topics are the “crisis in cosmology” aka the Hubble tension, which has to do with the discrepancy between our methods of measuring cosmological expansion, and we lack a quantum theory of gravity. Another excellent source like this one is PBS Space Time.
Conclusion:
There are a lot of people out there who can start with this legitimate UAP report, jump to Nordic Aliens, and pretty soon they’re solving the mystery of JFK’s murder, because we have to do that before NESARA kicks in and makes our Iraqi dinars just as valuable as the U.S. dollar.
I do terrible things to conspiracy nutters when they try to drag me into their goofy theories, as I admitted in Confessions Of A Conspiracy Broker. There’s nothing conspiratorial or supernatural in this. All we have is some data captured by an AN/ASQ-228 on a Super Hornet and the AN/SPY-1B(V) AEGIS combat system on CG-59 USS Princeton. The full Congressional testimony by the commanding officer of the fighter squadron that encountered the objects, David Fravor, is available right there.
The other failing we have, in addition to conspiracism, is politicization. I don’t believe that everything that matters in the universe happened during 1/7,000,00th of the time since the Big Bang in one little patch of desert on an unremarkable planet orbiting an unremarkable star in a galaxy that’s just one of at least a hundred billion. Following that line of thinking, this WILL become a politically important thing once it crosses a certain threshold, but it has nothing to do with any individual or specific party ideology.
The only human activities that might have got us some attention are things like the operation of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, or maybe it’s the radio bands we’ve been broadcasting in for the last century or so.
I hope I live long enough to see this resolved, but it’s been going on for twenty years and it may be another hundred before we get some sensible answers.
