A third of all radar jammers operate on the principle of generating fake returns that "fly away" (often in unphysical ways because that was good enough).
It's funny how this 101-level fact that every radar technician, operator, and designer is keenly aware of somehow never seems to make it into the UFOlogist monologues about how infallible radar evidence is.
I like your attitude toward all this! I haven’t seen much of that kind of approach before and it’s inspiring. Thank you for sharing.!
I think the smugness is a compensatory disguise, so like a psychological defense, both in reaction to something that people are genuinely scared of being real and also in reaction to something they can’t understand.
Some people are very uncomfortable with that level of ambiguity, used as they are to being across everything in their slice of life normally (or feeling like they need to pretend that they know everything to maintain the position of authority they feel expected to by the people around them) and so they react in that kind of way.
the smugness, I suppose helps bolster the points they’re saying as if we should believe them more so because this person delivers them so confidently and treats, any other possibilities, so dismissively, we should kind of take what they’re saying on faith and trust them.
I think when you take a step back and look at it, it’s very obvious that an individual couldn’t have such omniscient knowledge as to be able to conclusively deny all the possibilities of the universe from the point of view of their own slice of experience as these SmugMug’s seem to pretend. Ha! :)
I think the curious thing is that boring dismissals like that became a kind of norm in the discourse, while people are missing out on the sheer adventurous interest of engaging with something unexplainable in a curious way. I mean what could be more fun even doing that?
Yeah, it’s funny to me that the boring view became popular like this, at least for a while.
