AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the ongoing phenomenon of Flying Triangle sightings in the United States, particularly noting an increase since the 1990s. These triangular aircraft are reportedly being deployed near populated areas and major highways, exhibiting behaviors that deviate from traditional covert operations of unacknowledged aircraft. The origins and intentions behind these crafts remain unclear. Some participants express belief in the existence of these crafts, citing credible reports, such as those from Illinois police, which suggest advanced technology. Observations indicate that these aircraft can hover silently at low altitudes and demonstrate significant acceleration capabilities. However, there is skepticism regarding the extent of their technological advancements, with some attributing extraordinary claims to exaggerated perceptions. Overall, the discussion highlights a blend of intrigue and uncertainty surrounding the Flying Triangle enigma.

NIDS Investigations of the Flying Triangle Enigma.

August 2004
Summary
The United States is currently experiencing a wave of Flying Triangle sightings that may have intensified in the 1990s, especially towards the latter part of the 1990s. The wave continues. The Flying Triangles are being openly deployed over and near population centers, including in the vicinity of major Interstate Highways. The behavior of these Triangular aircraft does not conform to previous patterns of covert deployment of unacknowledged aircraft. Neither the agenda nor the origin of the Flying Triangles are currently known. [continued]

A synopsis of recent events - 1990 through 2004. Included is a summary of archieved data.

I'm still not quite sure about the flying triangle reports. I am convinced that these are real craft that are often seen as reported, but some good reports such as those from the Illinois police - who chased a flying and hovering triangle while at close range - seem to imply a super-technology. This may simply be due to exaggerated memories since nothing beyond our imagination was seen in that particular case. It may be that we have a little technology here that would surprise most people. At the least, we must have a silent propulsions system capable of producing dramatic acceleration in a relatively large aircraft. This craft is also able to hover silently at very low altitudes such as 100 feet above ground level. I don't see many claims [relative to the total number of claims] of FTs zipping out of the atmosphere in the blink of an eye, as do other reported, alleged crafts.

Thread 'Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025'

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
