Sidebar: What you're saying is genuinely interesting and I'm glad to have read it today, but can you back off on the italics usage? It made reading your comment kinda difficult :(

I'm doing my best on a shitty mobile phone with a ... still recovering from having multiple ligament torn, and wrist and finger bones broken in my right hand.

But sure, I'll try to switch it up with bold and 'quotes' for emphasis more in the future.

Random question: Your comments mention that you work in aerospace... have you ever heard of the TR-3B?

I realize I may sound like a lunatic, but, I've seen it 3 times over the years when I used to live in and near Seattle, and one time I saw it hovering, only hundreds of feet in the air, over the building that's marked as the Fly Away Cafe at Boeing Field on Google Maps.

You think there's anything potentially to that, or would I have to be commuting to work in Janet Airlines for a non redacted answer? =P

Unfortunately not, I'm in the space side of aerospace. If it flies in the atmosphere and isn't accelerating to orbital velocity I'm afraid I don't know

Ah well, figured I'd ask.

I have a cousin who I am 99% sure worked on the SR 72... but he of course could neither confirm nor deny this.

TR 3B is speculated to be basically a large, equilaterally triangular craft that has 3 ... more conventionally powered propulsive engines, near each point of the triangle... but makes very little to no sound... and the speculation part is that this all works because somehow the craft has some kind of exotic system which functionally reduces its mass by about 90%, reduces felt inertia by about 90%, thus allowing for significantly higher G Force tolerance, as well as less powerful conventional engines / thrust generation, less needed fuel, than what would otherwise be needed.

Its potentially a spacecraft and an atmospheric craft simultaneously, but if it does actually exist, its probably one of the most classified things ever.

I realize this is all in the ufo/conspiracy theory zone, so reliable info is essentially impossible to verify, but that second link there has pictures and schematics that nearly perfectly match what I've seen.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
