Funny.
I can't, it's classified. They're in my freezer now but I won't show you! (Allow me a joke here). -

Yep. Depends what your goal is. If your goal is to eliminate unidentifieds in the LIZ, Unless you posit "real UFOs," whatever they are, knowingly avoid getting in range of sensors, existing sensors are numerous and powerful, we should have... -
MonkeeSage replied to the thread Debunking Humor....We did that too with an unfired shotgun shell we found in a field. Being young dumb males, our first thought was clamp it in vice grips and hit it with a hammer until it explodes. Thankfully it didn't actually go off. After plan A failed we cut...

OMG! I did that too when I was a little kid! :oops: I was living at my great grandparents house (born 1900), and I got a bullet and hit it repeatedly with a hammer till it went off. I also rafted at a nearby waterway where many kids drowned and...

I think that was about his age when my son got hold of some ammunition (source unknown), whacked a bullet with a hammer, and frightened himself when it went off and ricocheted off the basement walls. (I never heard the details of the story at the...

In a way, I agree—no harm done, right? And even if we end up with no new knowledge about UFOs, we still get better sensors, and that's good for other reasons. Fair enough. But it's not that simple. Accepting that there is something genuinely...

Agreed. But I think that's because it's really hard to do science on something unidentified. Again, we have an 8 page thread on this very question. The first major hurdle is defining what an UAP is? As they are by definition "unidentified", it's...

I guess I disagree a bit here. Yes, more data is always better and maybe there is something interesting, but the history of UFOs is largely a history of mostly explainable things. Misperception, faulty memory, bad photos, outright hoaxes and as...

When I was 11 or 12 I was busy making flash powder with friends. A dangerous thing, but different times.

When my grandson was about ten or eleven, he had a "mad scientist" themed birthday party. My son in law brought home a number of lab coats for them all to wear, miscellaneous flasks with colored solutions, and a Van de Graaff generator that the...

And at the same time the number of prosaic objects in the air at all ranges has, ahem, ballooned. More than 15,000 satellites in low earth orbit, including 10,400 Starlinks. (https://planet4589.org/space/stats/active.html) More than 44,000...

This is totally off topic for this thread, however if an anecdote and a fuzzy photo is a "good example", can you provide the source for this so we can start a dedicated thread? There is no sense in debating the merits of this case, or others in...
