Man films UFO shooting down his drone

Post Reply New Topic

Sounds like Warwickshire in the UK - that's something of a hotspot too.

Yes Rendlesham forest gets a mention in UFO TV programs quite a bit.

Especially because of this well-known event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendlesha ... t_incident

Let us assume an extremely unlikely scenario exists:

1.1. An intelligent Alien species has acquired the scientific and technological ability to undertake interstellar travel - a gargantuan task itself - and just so happens to be in the neighbourhood of our solar system.

1.2. This species decides to - despite the exorbitant resources required to undertake said interstellar travel - not to make contact with the population on Earth after arriving in our solar system, but to spy on us instead.

1.3. Having the technological aptitude to undertake interstellar travel, it is incredibly easy for the Alien species to hide itself from the most sophisticated equipment used by government agencies and top research universities with billions of dollars worth of top-of-the-line hardware. However, the Alien species fails to conceal itself from amateur stargazers and average Joes with off-the-shelf drones who just happen to be in the area.

Let us assume another few scenarios:
2. The drone got hit by a bird.
3. The drone got hit by another drone.
4. The maker of the video got in trouble with his girlfriend for crashing her drone while getting drunk with his friends, so he made up a UFO story (video included) to avoid having to sleep on the couch for two weeks.

Not all of these scenarios are equally likely...

I'll respond sequentially;

1.1) This is actually quite plausible because a) earth like planets have been around for possibly several billion years b) if a) is true then there is high probability life has arisen across multiple planets in multiple eras c) there may be not just one advanced alien race but based on the Drake equation thousands and even millions across the known universe d) aliens who have had millions of years to evolve would likely have found ways to bend physics to visit us earthlings, Even if they can't physically move their biological forms then it would be easy to send inert probes to traverse space or via wormholes or portals that according to physics should exist.

1.2) The prevailing convention is that earth was seeded and we humans are genetically altered by said aliens. As to motive? who knows?

1.3) Well that's a valid point, many UFO observers have witnessed the craft phase in and out of view so its likely the craft (assuming they exist) are capable of cloaking. Why they don't hide and choose to momentarily appear/disappear is a mystery, Perhaps they like pranking lone farmers or couples taking a quiet drive on a night road.

Ok ....

2. The drone got hit by a bird.
No birds were seen in the drone footage so that's pure speculation. Also the altitude seemed well above the treeline where birds would normally dwell.

3. The drone got hit by another drone.
The object filmed doesn't seem to have any propulsion system. Drones have propellors. I've never seen a saucer shaped drone.

4. The maker of the video got in trouble with his girlfriend for crashing her drone while getting drunk with his friends, so he made up a UFO story (video included) to avoid having to sleep on the couch for two weeks.
Ok well that seems possible

Were alcohol and drop-bears somehow involved?

Well look, and I'm sorry to keep banging on about it - but what are those feathery things clustered around the drone's motor mounting? Why are there no suggestions to explain them? It's like they don't exist - or just don't fit in with the UFO story.
Also, birds fly - they don't spend their time strolling around in the treetops.

One of the first tactics used in arguing for the existence of space-aliens is to ignore or discredit any evidence that points to a more reasonable conclusion.  This is the same tactic used in witch-hunts, lynchings, and the coup attempt on the U.S. Capital building on January 6, 2021.

Yep, and it's irritating.

Those feathery things look suspiciously like...

Does anyone recognize this bird?

It is called the "Australian Yellow Parrot".  It is native to Australia.  It has yellow feathers.  It also flies.

Australia also has green parrots, red parrots, brown parrots, and parrots with plumage of mixed colors.

All of which can fly.

Aaaand another thing - no birds were seen in the drone footage possibly because an attack came from the rear or above the drone. That might be an explanation for those feathery things on top of the drone - and why couldn't that brownish thing in the centre of the image simply be the back end of a bird beating a hasty retreat, sans a few feathers and nursing a sore foot?
The drone was apparently tumbling downwards at the time so it's not really surprising the image away from the camera is so jumbled but of course, an object attached to the drone + camera and within the field of view would - and has - been captured quite well.

Q E D

I wasn't, I was removing all alternative explanations which is actually a fundamental step in scientific inquiry, Since you are the gatekeeper on WP to skeptics resources I suggest you go and brush up on the scientific method.

Possibly but that can't be demonstrated though

This is most fascinating. It actually looks more like green from a plant leaves though rather than feathers, secondly it does not resemble the anatomy of a bird.
