    The manipulation of spacetime around a UAP is the first thing I look for in night vision and sometimes full color videos, 3rd video is so damn sick! It seems when the craft is changing direction a bit, a mirage of the craft forms in the opposite direction to where it wants to go, is it like…how when a jetski changes direction it flings a bunch of a water opposite to when you directed it, but for spacetime? Or could it be heat since the clip is in infrared and that’s just the air molecules making a mirage with the surrounding air?

      The article is behind a paywall, so I can’t see if it shows the drone in question. However, I think it’d be a failure of border patrol to not be to identify drones and have them labeled as UAP. If drone footage was considered UAP then they would have a large archive of UAP.

        To play devils advocate, I could imagine Border Patrol failing to ID the cartel using jetpacks seeing as how it’s such a new consumer accessible tech.

        Still hard to wrap my mind around the fact that actual jetpacks are a reality if you’ve got the money. Always said I’d hoped I’d live to see flying cars, real VR, and jetpacks in my lifetime when I was a kid. Didn’t expect that to be a reality by my early 30s!

          True. That is a bizarre development that I wouldn’t expect to be accounted for.

          There are a lot of futuristic fantasies from my youth coming true, even if not the most practical or accessible. Though, as cool as the jetpacks probably are, I’ll stick to the safety of my VR.

            Yeah I don’t think I’d ride in one of those either… wouldn’t want to end up flying like a brick at low altitude if something failed.

      Someone posted a website from some company specifically with the drone in the first few minutes a few weeks ago in a different thread, but i have been unable to track it down. Obviously the detail isn’t there to be certain, but the size and movements were all appropriate. Basically a simple balloon bladder system with simple jets for simple control (notice how it looks drunk).

    I love the continued release of UAP footage by government groups, even if as a result of FOIAs. Some footage may prove to be prosaic, but it shows that there are objects out there that they can’t even narrow to a ballpark of what it is. Without directly addressing the public, the videos and admittance of the unknown still speak volumes.
