113. I wish they could get better camera footage

Why haven't they put better cameras on some of the military jets? And most importantly, a military team needs to be assigned the sole task of waiting the object out to see where it goes. I'm still betting on the object being terrestrial. If the object is able to fly/hover indefinitely, I think that points to the possibility of a living creature. Alpine Swift birds can fly for 6 months without stopping. I don't think any machines, alien or human, can hover for that long.

Yeah, sure... MineralMan Apr 2023 #1

Uh, no. Disproving things like that isn't really possible, is it? MineralMan Apr 2023 #12

Obviously any civilization capable of such travel would be far advanced over us FoxNewsSucks Apr 2023 #23
