| Oh, I didn't realize you were talking about space ice, my bad. Never heard of such a theory and I'm glad you shared it, it was out of my realm of possibilities since it never occurred to me. But like you said, this doesn't explain the recurrent event, or the radar information. >We are going on his word alone. There. This is where I'm split, and where a lot of people tend to handle carefully because of the respect people have for US Navy, specially pilots, and no one seems to dare to say: - What if Fravor was wrong and led everyone who trusted him into the wrong conclusions? Could he have seen something ordinary and blew it out of proportions due to his - clearly massive - ego, just because he couldn't identify what ever it was, even with all of his experience and being one of the main guys in the ship? Everyone could have seen something and not identify it, and relied on Fravors approach to try to figure out what it was, and the frame of reference for the squadron was based on his information. Could they have missed what ever it was if it wasn't mentioned by a radar operator dealing with bugs/glitches? Probably. Yet they were looking for something in the area, and something they found. Was just a coincidence that they came across something that was in one of the areas pinned by the radar? It's a large ocean. On the other hand, only they know what they saw, and they're experienced bunch. Plus it had to be an odd, and rare, chain of events (forgot to mention that other squadrons flew after them and got another video that leaked). Yet again, they were all trying hard to look for something - things that could have gone unnoticed if they weren't looking for something (like a commercial plane at a distance they aren't used to see on their sensors data). |
Yep but nobody is experienced with this stuff I guess. But I get what you mean and agree.
Thanks for being a reasonable person and replying thoughtfully, that’s a breath of fresh air on the internet sometimes. :)
