Really wanting to post this in reply to the guy on my Nextdoor neighborhood who is always posting about UFOs when we live near an active airport and can easily see launches from a nearby AFB, lol

If we identify something as a UFO, is it still a UFO?

Then it's just an FO.

And if it lands, it's merely an O.

Also known as an NCFFO (Not currently flying flyable object)

I mean... a lot of stuff isn't flying, so...

Then it wouldn't be a UFO.

Yup! I just take off my glasses, stand far enough away from the window and every plane, bird, and flying insect becomes a UFO!

The flying insects become an unobservable flying object for me if I don't have my glasses and am far from the window.

Reminds me of the greatest of all UFO channels I found on YouTube. Guy recorded a military plane landing. Describing “If you look hard enough you see small, disc like objects harassing the plane! There are aliens in broad daylight!” Those “objects” were insects flying in front of his camera.

Was his channel a single giant shitpost? Maybe.

Do I respect him more than anyone who tries to lecture me about camera footage quality at night? Absolutely.

Beautiful bastard.

You have to share something like this with all of us!

I can’t find it for the live of me. Sorry. Been too long.

This is a meme but no joke I saw a thing moving in the sky yesterday, it was quite long and thin but it had a wing on each side like a bird and it left this big trail of what looked like smoke behind it. It was white and had a part on the back that stuck up like a fin, and this part had a pattern on it that looked a lot like a British flag. It was absolutely crazy, I have no idea what it could have been.

Dude are you stupid or something? Sounds like your basic Chinese weather balloon to me... ya know, could be swamp gas too but idk man

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I've seen my fair share of weird things in the sky, but I don't think those were aliens.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I'm in this picture and I don't like it, or maybe I do but can't admit it.

Skip to 2:20 if you're in a rush

You see I read the Wikipedia page about aerodynamics so I know what is and isn't physically possible with our current technology. That's how I know this blurry photo of a paper plate with LEDs is actually an alien. Also bees are aliens because even though they can't fly they fly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

But since you identified said object as "unidentified" does that mean it is no longer unidentified?

So the pyramids where built by UFOs after all? I knew it!
