  1. I think somehow my autocorrect started capitalizing the word that. Not sure why it's in all caps there.
  2. Pretty much any investigative journalist interviews folks about whatever it is they are investigating and then reports their findings. This is the way that major news is broken all the time. How often are you this critical of them? Is this not the way that so many unjustified police shootings have been uncovered? Yes, they usually lead to hard evidence like body camera footage being released, but here we have a situation where people think that the evidence must be so far fetched that they form some sort of mental block that they are unwilling to wait for the actual hard evidence to be released before making judgement. If you apply the same standard for much of the other groundbreaking news these days, it should pretty much all be dismissed.
  3. Because certain factions within the government don't want the truth to get out, and have spent decades convincing the public that it is akin to some fringe conspiracy theory (helped out by a lot of legitimate conspiracy theorists) so that the leaks that inevitably do happen are dismissed out right. However, if you do actually spend a bit of time looking into the issue,there are actually loads of credible folks involved who have tried to get the truth out. So now we are left with a situation where a significant group of otherwise rational people can't take a rational look at the evidence and come up with their own conclusions due to preconceived biases based on decades long misinformation campaigns. Now we have a former intelligence officer who's job it was to investigate this stuff blowing the whistle on governernment programs with no oversight. A whistleblower who has bipartisan backing that is unheard of in this political environment. And some of the congress critters fighting for disclosure are undeniably passionate about their beliefs, whether or not you agree with them. Take AOC, I'm sure that many folks here don't agree with her vision of how we ought to be doing things, but it is hard to deny that she has an honest passion for serving her constituents and doing what she thinks is right. Yet she is one of the ones leading the charge.
  4. Also, the existence of government programs that don't answer to Congress, the President, or the Judicial. There has to be oversight somewhere.
  5. That's like the minimum you have to pay just to escape from target.
  6. Proxima centauri is less than five light years away and believed to have habitable planets. Assuming they have technology to travel at close to light speed, it wouldn't be a stretch for an life there to have made multiple trips back and forth.
  7. Like I said, I rarely shoot it, so I'll throw in 50 of these guys. I can even draw dicks on the bullets with a sharpie for added amusement.
  8. The non human biologics comment was in reference to recovering pilots, so probably not a potted plant. As far as hearsay goes, his job as an intelligence officer was to collect information about UAV's, assess its reliability, and consolidate it into reports and such. He said he had seen documentation and photographs, but only interviewed people who had seen these things in person. He gave his information, including lists of witnesses to the Inspector General of the intelligence community who conducted their own investigation and deemed it reliable and urgent enough to grant whistleblower protections. I would say that fits a higher standard than simple hearsay.
  9. If we can send one, it needs to be dipped in a camo pattern. Something like this: Maybe a burnt orange Longhorn logo on one side of the reciever and a ms paint of putin eating a bag of dicks on the other.
  10. There was a time when I was single and child free while making low six figures.
  11. .950 JDJ is obviously a more practical choice.
  12. So you don't think that videos of UAP's doing physics defying things where even the Navy admits that they don't know what they are and have no explanation for are credible? Where they have confirmed that other sensors indicated that it really did do those things? There is plenty of evidence out there, but the government has spent so much time gaslighting the public into thinking that it is some sort of crazy thing to believe they are real that the public just dismisses the issue outright when there have been plenty of credible people come out and say "this really is real." Anyhow, yesterday was just a first step in the process. The ICIG has already reviewed that classified evidence that could not be shared publicly and determined it to be credible and urgent. This includes interviewing other people involved (those with first hand knowledge) and reviewing classified documents that they have access to. The evidence you seek will come out in due time, but the proper process has to be followed. Whether or not you accept it when it does, is up to you.
  13. I have a spypoint camera. $15 a month for unlimited pictures, and it sends them to an app on your phone. Batteries can last a few months if it is not set somewhere where it is constantly going off and there is good cellular reception. This is with it set to send pictures twice a day. If you set it to send pictures immediately it will run them down much more quickly. It also has a micro SD card that can be swapped out. The pictures saved to the card have a higher resolution than the ones it sends to your phone.
  14. We're gonna have to play a bit better than we did last night if we want to do that.
  15. Well, I was trying to keep it non cr, so I declined to mention that bit. Otherwise it was quite refreshing.
  16. No cr intended, but if you go back and watch the hearings, there was an impressive amount of bipartisan cooperation. It was as if our government was actually functioning as it should.
  17. I have more ammo than I'll probably ever shoot, I could probably donate some.
  18. I think this was more of a hearing to establish under oath that governmental and non governmental organizations have these things, etc. and are working secretly on them without congressional oversight. There was lots of talk of classification and passing legislation to overhaul out classification system with regards to UAP's. Also establishing procedures for reporting and investigating them.
  19. Also, -US corporations receiving shadow money to reverse engineer alien tech. -Our government has known about this since the 1930's -To provide a list of cooperative and non-cooperative witnesses to congress as well as locations of crashes and recovered craft and locations of where to look for information regarding them.
  20. FYI, congressional hearing begins in less than half an hour.
  21. Another Rec for Rebels. Clone Wars is good too, with the exception of a handful of episodes, but it is a pretty sprawling story that has so much going on that it feels like more of a slog at times. Rebels is pretty tight story wise and looking back after you finish the series it doesn't really feel like any episodes were wasted.
  22. Anybody who starts a thread about a Twitter thread and only posts the first tweet should be banned.
  23. Blaster beams aren't lasers, brah.
