Thanks. I struggle with the organization and time management to put this together. Life has been chaotic because while this is my true passion, it isn't paying all our bills right now, so I have to juggle.
I just watched the Lucy Biggers video you shared a link to. The only thing that makes me think UAP is that Lucy says it’s low despite appearing like it’s up high. I wasn’t there, but on the video it looks like to me a normal smallish plane with tail-mounted engines, like a Gulfstream or something, and it sounds like a plane too.
So I think the only thing in Lucy’s video that is evidence of something weird going on is that Lucy says it’s weird looking when you’re there in person. Right? What else is weird about it? I may have missed an important detail.
Edit to add one thing: there may be plenty of legitimate UAP activity out there in NJ right now (or Connecticut, where Lucy Biggers is), but I think this video is noise, not signal.
There are so many videos of people saying, "it looks like a plane, but when you see it in person, you can tell that it isn't. It's flying too low, too slow, etc."
Without seeing it with my own eyes, I can only go with what they're saying - and with the level of seriousness with which law enforcement and local politicians and area military bases are treating it, as well as the White House's blatant dismissal that there's nothing going on.
Fully agree with you. But when you respond with what looks like overzealous credulity, you make it very easy for debunkers to just dismiss the whole thing.
What I’m saying is that if a casual observer reads your tweets, watches a reposted video or two you post as evidence, and sees what looks and sounds like an everyday plane, it becomes very easy for him to think we’re all a bunch of morons and turn to believing the shit the government is shoveling.
Just my two cents as a random guy out on the internet.
Steve, I just replied to a couple of twitter posts of yours. I’ve been following you since probably 2015 or so, back during 1P5 days. I’m also a big UFO guy — I’m 40 and have been following UFO stuff since I was old enough to read. I am NOT a debunker.
That said, I really think you’re too credulous on this one. Three of the videos in the last substack post of yours seem like pretty obvious airliners to me. I dunno if you’re currently living in Arizona, New England, or elsewhere, but if you’re near an airport, get under the glidepath to one of the runways at night, look up, and shoot a couple videos of planes coming in from a few miles out with your phone. I bet they’ll look a lot like some of these NJ sightings. If you turn your body while filming, the plane will appear to turn on a dime like some of these videos. And you will have no sense of the altitude.
That said, some of the other videos out there are weird and seem less likely to have easy prosaic explanations. But your excitement about the topic has seriously degraded the fidelity of your bullshit detector ; )
The thing that makes it difficult is that the people who are seeing these say they look like planes, but are clearly not. They are claiming mimicry. A young woman who works for The Freepress in New York posted several videos yesterday of drones she was seeing. She said, “Its like they were trying to look like a plane 30,000 feet in the air but they were only maybe 100 feet in the air! The scale was all off and my brain was trying to make sense of what I saw.”
She goes on, "They also blink like a drone or plane. This is weird to say but it was like they were disguised as planes. Even filming this video as it got closer to me i go 'oh wait thats a plane' and stop filming, but then i realized I don’t live near an airport and this thing was low!"
"I swear these things werent planes but the photos do look like the bottom of a plane. Their height is hard to tell on an iphone!"
This is confusing the issue and leading some people to misidentify planes as drones and vice versa. But law enforcement is confirming that many of the drones are "fixed wing", which is unusual outside of much larger, more expensive, more complex drones, and matches the plane identification issue.
I’m voting special access program until we have evidence of 10+ g maneuvers. It seems like the governor and others have been told to downplay and back off.
Loved this. Hope you do more in the future. A regular podcast would be fabulous. I miss those!
Thanks. I struggle with the organization and time management to put this together. Life has been chaotic because while this is my true passion, it isn't paying all our bills right now, so I have to juggle.
But I'm hoping to do more soon!
Steve, thanks a bunch for the reply.
