    Earlier this morning, NASA ran a full flight test of Ingenuity, the helicopter that arrived on Mars with the Perseverance rover. The flight test was successful and represents the first time that humanity has demonstrated powered, controlled flight on another planet. Ingenuity contains a piece of wing fabric from the Wright Flyer, the first aircraft to achieve powered, controlled flight on Earth.

    Boy in the mask: The photo that defined the Troubles
    This photograph of a boy in a gas mask holding a petrol bomb became a defining image of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

    The iconic picture was taken during the Bogside riots in August 1969.

    I'm not sure if it's Covid Fatigue or whatever, but it's blown my mind that this news hasn't, eh, blown everyone's mind as well.

    I think that one only shook the world of a select few! ;)

    Which was my original point. Why is this? The Pentagon admits that there are "things" flying through their air space, and they don't know what they are. If its Chinese or Russian tech, it's a bigger defence failure than 9/11 was. And seriously, since the 1940s - this is Chinese or Russian tech?

    So that leaves 2 possibilities - it's the US military themselves (and if so, there's easier ways to try to raise funding, if that's what this is about). Or, it's from *somewhere* else. And I have no idea where. Another image:

    This one was spotted going into the water. Many of these "crafts" are spotting coming, going, or moving through water. These are official military images, confirmed as authentic by the Pentagon, with tons of data collected to bolster claims. So they have eyewitness reports, images, Forward Looking Infrared Camera images (FLIR), all from legit Military Sources. One interviewed stated they seen these things every day for 2 years.

    The above is another image, confirmed as legit by Pentagon officials, of a "UAP", taken by a pilot with his cellphone from the cockpit of his fighter. (UAP meaning Unidentified Arial Phenomena - they want this subject to be taken seriously, hence the rebrand from UFO, and the stigmas attached to that word, to UAP)

    And some interesting reading, from the New York Times:
    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/16/us/politics/pentagon-program-ufo-harry-reid.html

    Barack Obama has even spoken about it recently, stating there are "things" flying around in the skies, that they don't know what they are.

    Foil lined helium balloon like you get at kids parties might have an interesting radar signature.

    That last image looks like the ass end if a Mig 29 peeling off and getting out of dodge.

    Been debunked. So what you're trying to tell me is, trained pilots, trained to use their eyes, have been fooled by..... a Balloon? Multiple times? And their highly sensitive systems such as radar etc - all fooled by a balloon?

    And they'll feed this out to the public, through the entire chain of command, and NOBODY has picked up that this is a balloon?!

    Yup, seems legit. Try again.
