UFOs (UAPs): Explanations?

About the Congressional uap hearing Nov 2024.

One of those persons answering questions was Rear Admiral, Tim Gallaudet, US Navy (Ret.)
The following YouTube clip has him talking about his daughter’s abilities. Interesting from 50 seconds in.

"The Honorable Tim Gallaudet, PhD, Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy (ret) is a
career oceanographer and technology consultant. Formerly, he served
as the acting Undersecretary and Assistant Secretary of Commerce,
acting and Deputy Administrator of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA), and Oceanographer of the Navy."

Basically Elizondo repeated David Grusch’s claims from 2023, telling Rep. Mace that the government has conducted secret UAP crash-retrieval programs meant to identify and reverse-engineer alien craft. So did they mean to do that or did they actually do that?

My guess is that they had the intention of reverse-engineering the technology, but found it far too advanced to make sense of. It'd be like handing a modern cellphone to Alexander Graham Bell and telling him to reverse-engineer that. Not that they couldn't learn a few things though. The Cash-Landrum ufo sighting highly suggests a crude military attempt at some sort of ufo based technology:

"As they continue to investigate and resolve a growing caseload of hundreds of reports from current and former government officials about encounters with unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), personnel in the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) are also launching new projects and resources to declassify materials, promote transparency and enhance collection capabilities.

The office’s new director Jon Kosloski detailed those and other updates during an off-camera press briefing at the Pentagon on Thursday, marking his first open engagement with reporters in this capacity since he assumed the role in August.

“AARO has taken meaningful steps to improve data collection and retention, bolster sensor development, effectively triage UAP reports and reduce the stigma of reporting a UAP event. In the coming year, AARO will prioritize building partnerships, promoting increased transparency and scaling up the work of the office,” Kosloski said.

‘Interesting sightings’​

In his opening statement before taking reporters’ questions, Kosloski confirmed that his team briefed congressional staff this week and delivered the previously mandated fiscal 2024 Consolidated Annual Report on UAP.

The newly released, almost 20-page document includes explanations and multiple graphics to display officials’ data-based findings and notable trends about these potential anomalies that could threaten U.S. national security.

Kosloski said AARO has received over 1,600 UAP reports to date. Included in those are the 757 new reports that were submitted between May 1, 2023 and June 1, 2024 — the time period that this analysis covers.

“AARO has successfully resolved hundreds of cases in its holdings to commonplace objects such as balloons, birds, drones, satellites and aircraft. Meanwhile, over 900 reports lack sufficient scientific data for analysis and are retained in our active archive. These cases may be reopened and resolved should additional information emerge to support analysis,” he told reporters...."--- https://defensescoop.com/2024/11/14...entagon-annual-caseload-analysis-new-efforts/
 
Aug 27, 1995 Salida Colorado.

"In the 1995 video, Edwards makes an effort to film from the shadows of his home in order to focus the camera on the flying object near the sun. Edwards’ daughter explains how the aircraft grows longer, then retracts, and grow longer again while flashes of light seem to move vertically across the aircraft. A mysterious ball-shaped object can also be seen in the video that seems to dance around the flying object.

The video captures nearly 7 minutes of the object in the sky, capturing sounds of other aircraft flying over, although no sounds seem to be coming from the UFO.

In a National Geographic series, “Chasing UFOs,” the father and daughter recount the experience years later. Experts on the show call the 1995 video “one of the most compelling” they’ve ever seen.

Edwards’ video appeared on many news and television programs nationwide, including “Sightings” and “Paranormal Borderline.” Numerous hours of research were devoted to his sighting. Edwards passed away in 2008, but the experience he caught on tape that August morning remains a highlighted discussion among the UFO research community."

This sure doesn't sound to me like "we retrieved crashed alien spaceships and are reverse-engineering them."

Been there. That whole valley area is prone to temperature inversions, with odd river reflections cast up on atmospheric layers. I saw some weird sundogs myself in that area. Optical effects like that can convey the impression of an object moving at incredible speed. I give Edwards some BOTD, that he wasn't just filming sun glinting off a spider web, and was genuinely mystified by what he was seeing.

That's a spider web with the sun glinting off it.

Clearly the object he is filming is far to high up in the sky to be any sort of atmospheric illusion. These tend to show up closer to the horizon (see sundog pics below) and will not have a periodic strobe flashing along the length of it. Also, they tend to stay in place unlike this object that is moving. Also, as someone living there, Edward would obviously know about any regular river mirages in the sky. Nice try though. The bit about being there DID lend a momentary air of authority to it all though.
