Ad hominem - your statement says nothing about the UAS Response Playbook and definition of unmanned systems.

He makes his living speaking crap to gullible people. How can calling that out be an ad hominem?

Tell me more about the UAS Response Playbook and the definition of unmanned systems.
 

Avi Loeb's WARNING: Watch Out for THIS When 3i/ATLAS Nears The Sun! - Dr Brian Keating​

What happens when 3I/ATLAS dives toward the Sun? One signature could expose interstellar origins, hidden composition, and non-gravitational forces at play.

Loeb pinpoints what to watch: abrupt brightening vs. erosion, outgassing asymmetry, and dust-to-gas shifts that defy textbook comets.

If it flares the “wrong” way, the implications are seismic—on formation models, radiation-driven activity, even interstellar visitors. Miss this, and you’ll miss the moment the solar corona turns a mystery object into a lab experiment.

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb joins me to discuss the latest revelations about interstellar object 3I/ATLAS as it makes its closest approach to Mars.

From HiRISE images to unusual chemistry, polarization anomalies, and even a potential link to the Wow! Signal, this conversation explores whether 3I/ATLAS is a natural comet or a possible technological artifact.

Along the way, we cover censorship from Galileo to today’s UAP debates, the “Sputnik moment” of interstellar objects, and what a global response might look like.

Almost certainly there is life somewhere but I don't bet on us finding it in your lifetime. Our technology is still very primitive for even exploring the entirety of the solar system so we probably won't be detecting anything with certainty from other galaxies anytime soon.

Future generations will probably find microbial life somewhere in the solar system when they eventually have the tech to deep search any part of the solar system. There is probably microbes one one of more of Mars, Venus, the moons of Saturn (possibly even in the atmosphere of Jupiter).

We don't even have the tech to deep search our nearest neighbour Mars which tells you how far we are from finding alien life.

The playbook covers as far as UAP are concerned:

Recognition of UAS as a security threat.

Inclusion / acknowledgement of UAP/anomalous phenomena.

Need for coordination across levels (federal, state & local).

Public communication & uncertainty management.

Here's a link to the Washington Emergency Management Division (WEMD) Threats and Hazards Preparedness Framework document which also deals with UAP phenomena, and overlaps with UAS Response Handbook.

Atlas is behind our sun isn’t it? If starts turning right then we can start the Mayan apocalypse lol

He's a university professor. A crackpot one at that. He has no idea what the security establishment knows about threats. If they thought there was a threat he could give advice on, they would consult him.

Who are you talking about?

Are you referring to the director of Washington's Emergency Management Division?
 
Meh,
Not really, at least not in the typical sense. That's the kind of stuff you consider when you're 12 or something.

That said, the only UFO event I can honestly say has made me sit upright was the infamous "Tic Tac" Nimitz event in 2004.

Dismissed it at first, like usual, but then If you ignore all the usual crazies, clickbait, assmongers, fanatics and grifters around these types (or any type) of UFO events, and you just focus on what we know from reputable sources about what happened that day there's definitely something to it, it's simply not possible that nothing happened, what that was I have no idea, neither do the people involved who experienced it.

I've also watched all the best debunkers and debunkings around it, and for the first time ever I'm not convinced by them when you start putting all the pieces together. The problem with all the debunkings are they either tackle just once piece of the bigger picture, or they tend to lump in other BS

Whether I believe in them or not, if they are illegal or commit crimes, and are in the US, ICE will get them and send them home.
 
From a purely mathematical perspective, the chances of life existing elsewhere in the universe is pretty high, in my opinion.

We're on one planet in one galaxy, the milky way. This galaxy alone has an estimated 100 billion planets.

Then there's over 2 trillion galaxies.

I think it's near certain that life in some form would exist elsewhere!!

And statistically unlikely to ever be encountered, like ever, given the distances and rate of technologies between potential civilizations, and the whole blow ourselves up bit

Yes, but how did they get from all the way over there to all the way over here in a tic tac?
 
It's not possible to know whether life exists out there. We simply don't know. I suppose it is possible. I have no idea if it's likely or not. But if it's illegal and comes to the US, ICE will send it back home. I also see ANTIFA criminals are getting arrested as well.

I love Mick West but his debunkings on this specific event are all purely focused on the technicalities of the sighting.
He's ignoring mountains of other details from testimony etc. that make this even way more interesting than it seems at first glance ....and, I get that, ultimately you'd want physical evidence, but, the debunkers have definitely not come close to explaining this one away. There's a human subjectivity factor that you can only ignore up until a certain point, then you need to be able to explain that too.

I have hours of video from someone who did a painstaking deep dive, unfortunately I had to download them from a paywall site a few years ago so it's only on my Plex now.

This video from LEMMiNO did a great job though at summarising the event from a skeptical view.


Ultimately I'm still not convinced by anything, but it is undoubtedly the best "classical UFO" event I know about.

Stopped watching after 5s of stupid scary music. Then skipped to the footage of the high def binoculars on the warship with binoculars overlay.

You have to accept your brain is rotting to believe any of that garbage
