Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about the announcement from NASA that it’s going to be investigating UFOs

https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-to-set-up-independent-study-on-unidentified-aerial-phenomena/
By now you've all heard that @nasa is convening a panel to look into Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (aka, UAP, aka UFOs…). I took ~24 hours to reflect on what seems like an interesting and somewhat unexpected move. A thread in ~15 tweets. https://t.co/RWiystf22L

2年 agoOne thing I didn’t mention in the video and may mention in the follow up is that I too used to be a strong believer in the phenomenon and it’s the reason I became so interested in Astrobiology as a field. More importantly there are two cases I can think of where I have seen an UFO (as in an object I couldn’t identify) but that after two decades of studies I can easily explain without the use of anything extraordinary
show more show lessBoth cases were human made objects that were flying in a way I didn’t know was possible because I wasn’t familiar with the technology at a time.
Both ended up being easily explained with a perspective from which I was observing them and the reflections from the surface
I’ll discuss this one day, but it was basically a sophisticated research balloon and a satellite flying in a way where the reflection from the mirrors made it appear to fly in a strange way
More later I guess, but for now that’s my 2c

2年 agoI think this is a very prudent endeavor. Credible sources are reporting UAPs in restricted areas. They’re not coming at it as if these are little green men from another planet, but they do have a vested interest in getting to the bottom of whatever it is. DoD is taking this seriously and they’ve requested NASA’s assistance.

2年 agoAs someone who occasionally has a fan running at night in a closed room, this video totally caught me off guard.
The third dimension
2年 agoI can’t believe this , I thought scientists were Openminded but the way Anton is talking about this situation is shocking , so close minded.

2年 ago“We don’t know what makes up 95% of the universe.” And our knowledge of the remaining 5% is kinda sketchy.

2年 agoThe times Ive seen a UFO they could possibly be explained by more mundane and man made objects. However, Ieas still at awe by the strange flight and the intense and powerless curiosity created by not being able to investigate it further.

2年 agoI appreciate your channel for its informative content. I respect Professor Avi Loeb of Harvard University who started the Galileo Project to look for data. There have been many times in the history of science when ideas have been ridiculed as obviously incorrect and subsequently our intuition has been proven wrong. With this in mind it behooves us to have a sense of humility and an open mind on issues of the “unknown” and “unidentified” which is the purview of science, and not have science be stigmatized by areas of confusion and misunderstanding, which is often where the best science can be done. Thanks for your work and for sharing your thoughts.

2年 agoApparently current NASA chief Bill Nelson saw some pretty compelling data on UAP back then when he was senator. Just watched a few interviews with him and he actually seems to be quite open to the possibility that at least some UAP might represent non human technology. That said I think Avi Loeb’s Galileo project is a much more interesting proposal, and will move a lot faster than this rather half assed attempt by NASA.

2年 agoMany, many years ago there’s this one scene I vividly remember from a film I’ve almost completely forgotten.
It showed Galileo, I think, or someone similar, trying to get an official to look through his telescope to verify for himself that the planet Jupiter was indeed orbited by moons.
The official refused point blank, saying confidently; ‘I don’t need to look, I KNOW that Jupiter has no moons.’
It left my young mind flabbergasted.
In later life I’ve come across many different incarnations of that same smug velvet-robed official, who wouldn’t even look.
Maybe Jupiter had four moons, or maybe Galileo had floaters in his eyes, or one of the lenses in the telescope was scratched, or maybe… there are a thousand other possibilities…. but we should never be so closed-minded as to refuse to look, or disparage those who want to look.
I always do.

2年 agoAnton… you’re not plagiarizing as long as you’re giving her credit for writing it, my friend. No worries. That being said, you’re 100% correct in your assessment — she broke it down brilliantly. Appreciate you sharing her insight with us!

2年 agoAnton. I’m so sorry to hear of your recent loss. I’m not a religious man. But my “heart” goes out to you and your family.
Aliens…naghhh.
Great video, mate 👍

2年 agoLook this isn’t a paranormal phenomenon, I was an air force aviator and yes we had forms and even an entire procedure for reporting uap’s / ufo’s. I came into the air force just as the unwritten rule of “if you see one keep your mouth shut if you value your career”. And like everything else in the military, some beuracrat was paid to put together a procedure complete with paperwork and death by power point. And while I never saw one I can tell you that in order to trigger a pilot having to make a report, you had to make radar contact. But the only fact we have on the issue is that nobody knows what these things are and anyone who says differently is full of it

2年 agoPretty sure it is going to be difficult even for NASA given the limited evidence to analyze from an aeronautical standpoint. Many of the cases seem to put the aeronautics in the hypothetical and not provable realm. Hopefully somehow in the future their would be more to analyze like spectroscopic data that could at least give an idea of what they are made of, possibly making them more identifiable.

2年 agoAs a witness to a UAP event, which was so unbelievable that you write it down and it sounds like science fiction.
show more show lessI sent my witness report to the Australian air force, with time, date, map location witness names. No reply, not even a automated one.
So, I’m super happy with main stream science community actually taking this seriously and designing equipment to capture data on these ‘events’ ‘craft’
P:S I know no one will believe me but, 2:30 in the afternoon driving to pick up the kids from school, myself & my wife. Nothing but blue sky out in country NSW Australia, a flash of light, like someone had a mirror causing us to look up! It was a horizontal egg shaped craft, no wings about the size of a bus, rippled gunmetal grey with a silvered curved window at one end. It just drifted like a air balloon about 1klm above us, my wife punched me in the arm yelling its a UFO!! as we watched, from outside in something wrapped around it, some field that caused it to be ‘totally’ translucent; till you could not see it was there, no ripple, no light distortion … visually gone. 30-40 seconds from light flash to invisible… make of it what you will.

2年 agoI personally find the stigma around UFOs to be almost as interesting as the the phenomenon itself. Why is it so far fetched to consider (not 100% believe, just consider) that there are alien craft flying around our atmosphere doing who knows what? Why is that idea lumped with ghouls, werewolves and vampires? And why was this subject talked about in scientific circles only through ridicule?
I find that fascinating.

2年 agoI feel like you may be a bit biased yourself, or as if you don’t want to believe that we aren’t the only explorers out there. I don’t want there to be, but something tells me there might. I would like to know for sure if there are. They could be very friendly and helpful to us and our understanding in a greater life, or they could be a very serious threat to our existence and try to wipe us out, or worse. This kind of pursuit at the very lease would push scientists, engineers, and money even more into space and orbital spacecraft. It motivates the common person to look up to the stars and push for a better study of them.

2年 agoI get it Anton, this is a subject that’s been stigmatised for the best part of 7 decades but UAP exist, as in non-human technology. Get comfortable with that, the next century is going to be wild.

2年 agoI saw one a long time ago along with a third of the roughly 100 person group I was in and later found out that 3 entire states witnessed it as was written in the newspapers. It was very high in elevation and was moving slow, then shot away in a different direction like making a check mark. I looked for explanations like a meteor ricocheting off the atmosphere but it didn’t fit. Who knows? It was neat to watch and fun to reminisce with my family.

2年 agoout of all the ridiculous things we have a budget for, investigating unknown aerial phenomenons is not so bad. It’s helpful to keep an open mind about things. Remember, some things are not scientific until they are

2年 ago“oh boy nasa” no wonderful anton its a great idea! the amount of unexplained aerial things released by the us government is staggering!!! im glad that NASA is investigating because FINALLY some guys with some good reputation are on to this!!!
