Quotes to remember

Here's the thing. A huge percentage of the population is now carrying around their own personal tricorder, which will record audio, video and take amazing pictures, even of a dimly lit alien spaceship. And yet, there still hasn't been any definitive, scientifically proven evidence for aliens. Google is watching everywhere I go, and reminds me that I visited Home Depot last week. You'd think the occasional trip to an orbital research facility would get picked up.

FRASER CAIN,
 
"That these people are wandering around, looking for aliens to justify the emptiness inside them and let them feel special without effort, creeps me out".

THOMM QUACKENBUSH, Artificial Gods

Disagree

UFO's going , moving at fantastic speeds , from 2500 to 50,000mph .

Hence these craft " blink out , disappear .

Think in terms of what these craft can do per/second .

Then the blinkout , disappear , is no real surprise .
 
"UFO behaviour is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it ... the modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical."

PIERRE GUERIN,
 
UFOs: The reliable cases are uninteresting and the interesting cases are unreliable.

CARL SAGAN, Other Worlds
 
“What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.”
― Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse
 
We don't know

In any language have a powerful message way beyond the letters of their composition

Nope. If you are 10 miles from such a craft, moving 50,000 miles an hour would:
1) Leave an incandescent trail visible for dozens of miles
2) Leave the craft itself visible for twenty seconds or so
3) Result in a sonic boom that would shatter windows for miles.

"It's super high" you say? Then it will be visible for even longer.
"It's super low" you say? Then the damage would be catastrophic, and it would glow brighter than the sun.

If it's only going 2500 miles per hour? Or 5000 miles per hour? Or 15,000 miles per hour? We've had aircraft that went that fast over the US for decades. (Think Space Shuttle.) They didn't "blink out." In fact, air traffic controllers and spotters had no problems tracking them.

To your last statement .

A steady speed ( being fast , miles per hour ) is very different from acceleration .

Nope, sorry. If it's high, then you will see it for a long time. That's simple geometry. If it's low, you'll see a track of devastation from the sonic boom. That's simple physics. No matter how quickly (or slowly) it gets to those speeds.

Not really .

Its about propulsion . System .

The less friction the faster , and faster , and faster , faster , energy can go . Acceleration .

You're trying to change the subject.

You said above that things can moving at fantastic speeds can "blink out." I told you that wasn't true.
Then you said that acceleration is different. I told you that yes, it was, and still doesn't make things "blink out."

Now you are trying to talk about friction to change the subject. Nice try!

That's our friend river to a "T" :D:rolleyes:
 
“The isolation spins its mysterious cocoon, focusing the mind on one place, one time, one rhythm - the turning of the light. The island knows no other human voices, no other footprints. On the Offshore Lights you can live any story you want to tell yourself, and no one will say you're wrong: not the seagulls, not the prisms, not the wind.”
― M. L. Stedman - The Light Between Oceans
