Assuming this is all true, I wonder if this is how wild dolphins feel when they have an encounter with friendly human beings? It almost feels like playful behavior. Like the UAPs are flying alongside the fighters the way we might swim with dolphins. Tweaking our noses a bit too. "Look how much faster than you we are. Look how we know your secret little patrol point." It would be sinister and deeply threatening if paired with any demonstration of ill-intent, and perhaps it should be read as such. But it doesn't feel that way to me. It feels very much like the brief fun little games people play during incidental encounters with non-dangerous wild animals sometimes. Imagine a man hiking along a trail in a line with a dozen friends, who notices an interesting lizard on a log and stops to look as his friends continue on without him. The man pokes the lizard a little, to see how it reacts, and it predictably scurries off. He then follows his friends, soon disappearing into what is an impossible-to-reach distance from the lizard's perspective, and he never gives the little lizard another thought. We are lizards compared to any intelligence capable of achieving these levels of power output (1100GW in seconds!), if this study's estimates are correct. Maybe we just got poked in passing.

- gonzo41 5y agoThere's a good twilight zone episode where some alien kids come to earth to go camping. They get discovered, hunted to their death by humans and in their last move they activate a distress beacon. The closing shot is a alien craft dwarfing earth. The Navy pilots report being jammed by the silver tic tac's, so one day there may be an escalation. Or it could all be lens flare.
