I was just trying to be fair to all points of view in the conversation, Chris questions if they are extra terrestrial, and the pilots sighting in and of itself doesn't prove that what he saw was extra terrestrial even though that's his highest probability order guess.
For the record i think the pilot has the experience to make that call, that is to rank the ET explanation as the best guess. But it is a guess not proof.
Experiencers don't seem to need proof, and i get that. But this project isn't about preachin to the choir, its about convincing the non experiencers we have ET craft here. and for that we need smoking gun proof.
I'm not a fan of absolutes, but No one is going to be happier than me to see smoking gun proof ET is here. I will absolutely be the happiest of the lot, happier by a factor of 5 to the second happiest person.
But even the people who are rightly proud of the gizmo that captured the data make the same point.
TFLIR, designated AN/ASQ-228 by the U.S. Navy, is a single pod that combines mid-wave infrared targeting and navigation FLIRs, an electro-optical, or visual light, sensor, a laser rangefinder and target designator, and a laser spot-tracker. It can locate and designate targets day or night at ranges exceeding 40 nautical miles and altitudes surpassing 50,000 feet.
Even so, the video images are not definitive proof that the jet pilots were chasing an actual UFO.
“To really be sure, we would need the raw data,” said Dr. Steve Cummings, vice president of Technology Development and Execution at Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems. “Visual displays alone are not the best evidence.”
Chris's pov is a valid one, and i used the word proof to acknowledge that. We have to do our due diligence, we cant hang out hats one way or the other on anything less than proof.
The moment we jump the shark and say well this proves ET's are here (a position i personally hold), then if this a psyops designed to discredit that pov, then they can spring the trap and say no it was (insert prosaic explanation here) and we look like idiots with X file music playing in the background which is how the media tends to portray us.
