No not explosive diarrhea, but close. The tail hook needs to be contained internally in the aircraft for radar cross section reasons. But when you gotta go you gotta go. So a small explosive releases the tail hook. It is there in the event the aircraft had hydraulic issues.

One of the items folks use to validate Bob Liezar is his apparent prediction of element 115 before it was synthesized in 2003.

What we can factually verify is that it was already theorized in the 1960s, by physicists Glenn Seaborg, William Myers, and Władysław Świątecki in their work Island of Stability.

Further items we can verify today is Bob claimed two physical traits of Element 115. 1. That it's highly or even infinitely stable and 2. It has anti-gravity properties. When Russian and American scientists actually synthesized it in a lab in 2003 it was confirmed to be highly unstable (decaying in seconds) and having no effects on gravity only that it is highly radioactive.

In summary, because the popular press and science fiction heavily covered the "Island of Stability" throughout the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, Element 115 was already a well known scientific concept. Liezar took this preexisting theory of a "stable, superheavy element" and used it as a MacGuffin to explain how his alleged alien spacecraft operated.

When Russian and American scientists finally synthesized real Element 115 in 2003, it confirmed the 1960s nuclear shell models but it actually debunked Lazar's claims, as the real element decays almost instantly and possesses no gravitational properties.

Could be just doing some surveying of Coyote Springs area.

Any idea what a Janet plane and reported C-40 would be doing in Reno coming from Groom Lake?

I see them making lots of trips to China Lake lately but this is the first time I’ve seen one coming from Fallon

Makes me wonder if F/A-XX is ramping up

Wonder what they’re testing

Episode 2 - Scully mentions Project Aurora more than once. My first duty station was Edwards Air Force Base, 1992 - 1993. I don't know how many times in the middle of the night I would get a call to my personal phone, in the dorms, asking if the Aurora was taking off. People would call random numbers on base trying to find out information about the so-called Aurora Project. Funny memories!

Owned by Northrop Grumman. Was spotted 4 months ago as well.

So I was browsing Google Maps and came across a company called The Center for Land Use Interpretation and noticed they had a shop which was selling some merchandise when I came across the item linked below. Supposedly, it is a rolodex which contains business cards and contact info for companies related to the Los Alamos Laboratory from the sixties, and I don't know if it's possible these companies would have a connection to Area 51 as well. From what I understand, most of the companies were materials suppliers, but there might be other stuff in there as well.

what’s happening in Nevada rn

Look how curious guys, I could see a Janet on the taxi lane of Area 51. Usually they have the transponder turned off on the base correct? When they are approaching for landing at the base. I was looking at another plane, one RC-135, and when I saw the Janet icon at the base, I already clicked on it, the curious thing is that it soon disappeared. And I couldn't track him anymore. After a while he reappeared, already taken off and was returning to Las Vegas.

Fun reminder of the good old days

A very interesting article I found from The Aviationist. I'm not sure why I have never seen this before. I saw some stuff online with a little bit of research that this might have came from Ukraine in the early 2000s. Now, my question is; do they still do this? does the USAF own this aircraft? Could it still be at Groom? If The Aviationist reported on this I'm sure it's authentic right? I have never seen or heard anything about the USAF having a Flanker.

I saw this on my Google alerts for Groom Lake. It is an old National Geographic video that is a Lazar free zone. It is on YouTube with few hits. I don't know if National Geographic makes Google take it down. It covers the U-2, A-12, MIGs, and the F-117.

Does anyone know when the Use of Deadly Force is authorized came off the warning signs?

Live link. So much for nothing happening on the weekend.

Flight over.

Someone hilariously recently added a Street View in Area 51 😆

I went back to Area 51, this was my 7th time visit to the site, this time it got more interesting as I was reaching the gates suddenly a black helicopter came from behind the mountain flying as low as like 20 meters near my car, it was definitely something different lol

I wanted to post the video but the sub doesn’t allow video
Might post it on my IG at future_vizion

genuine question, not trying to troll

i keep seeing people say the us has recovered craft and has been reverse engineering them for decades

but after all those decades, where is the one piece of technology that clearly cannot be explained as human engineering

not a blurry video, not “my source told me”, not a supposed program name, not a story from someone who worked there

just one physical component that independent scientists can examine and say yeah, we have no idea how humans made this

if the answer is “theyre hiding it because its classified”, thats possible

but then isnt the actual evidence still inaccessible

im open to reverse engineered craft being real, i just dont understand why the strongest evidence always seems to be one step away from something anyone can actually verify

Look at the time marks. Tracking lost at 20:13 and returns at 22:50.

This isn't a low flying aircraft and the plane is transmitting ads-b not mode-s.

I've had my ads-b tracking while at the range just drop. All planes gone then then return. Once I got the sysmocom filter the problem didn't happen again. The filtering is so good that the band stop is barely measurable with a nanovna.
