He is very credible. You ufologist just don’t want to be proven wrong you just want your beliefs to be repeated. It’s common amongst conspiracy minded individuals, it’s been studied by psychologist.

100% agree. I would like to hear Mick West suggestion on what military aircraft are capable of instantaneous acceleration and hyper-sonic speeds. As far as I'm aware there is nothing out there with those capabilities. I get that he's using occam's razor and that the simplest answer is more likely to be correct, but if he ignores all the sensor data and eye-witness statements, then I'm sorry, that's not logic, it's ignorance. PS. Thanks for the channel suggestions.

Exactly. It's stupid and arrogant to assume that you know more than the US Navy. When they say it's unidentified, I think I'll take their word for it, not Micks!

It also flew right across in front of his nose, so, he definitely got a pretty good look at it. Plus, I can't understand why people do not take the Pilot's word for what they saw because millions of $ are spent on training these pilots to know exactly what they are seeing so that they do not shoot something down that they shouldn't. The problem with Mick West is that he sets out to debunk a UFO video, he doesn't set out to try and find out what is being seen, so straight from the get-go, Mick has a very biased and closed mind.

Mick west claims he knows better than military pilots who see these things daily

I was with Mick up to the point where he tries to explain away the Navy videos. What the naval aviators described seeing with their Mark I eyeballs can’t be explained away by camera aberrations. He’s right that A LOT of prosaic phenomenon are misidentified as UFOs; but he tends to dismiss objects that CANNOT be explained by normal phenomenon too easily.

Well, I heard an astronomer “admit” she took the moon for a UFO while in a plane once. So, pilots can make mistakes too.

Usually, people make mistakes.

@@Actheman1978 you just pull up that from your ass. Like for real 🤣

Yes if it was up close. But when something is so far away that they can’t see it with there own eyes just by camera then no

@@zoultronzoultron9723 here's the thing. With my own eyes I can tell if it's a UFO or a plane when a plane is at normal flying altitude and I'm not a trained pilot. So imagine being trained to identify and even read a radar then applying this knowledge for years and years? I think pilots do not see things I think they are scared to be shamed by other pilots and lose their jobs.

Everyone makes mistakes. For example, Doctors are highly trained. They still routinely make mistakes.

Nothings changed. Absolutely nothing. We still have the same 3 groups. Two disinformation clouding the topic. 1 People making/faking data & sightings, 2 people like these select a choice few sightings that have logical explanations and then there’s the absolute real sightings that all ignore because these don’t have the $ to promote the topic of truth.

I just paused the video and straight to the comments looking for this comment about SpaceX. Yup, not watching it 🤦‍♂️

Exactly what I think but sadly many dont think like that in today’s world especially the ones in power (wealthy). We have Elon Musk who is starting to take humanity faith seriously but we need more people who are confident in themselves to bring these sci-fi technology in to reality. We cured Polio in 53. We landed on the moon in 69. Once you open that curiosity door everything is possible

thank you

Agreed

They did, and both pilots are incredibly qualified and have excellent record… so why? That’s what I’m more concerned with. Why are they openly making comments on it now? I can guarantee they didn’t just decide to just give it up freely, there is without a doubt ulterior motivations behind this. Funny note: I’ve got an older buddy that was a pilot in the RAF and he said the same thing as this guy did; that it looked very similar, almost identical to what another jet in thermal looks like. He also said the telemetry was altered and that from the original release to the one the pentagon let out officially the “unknown craft” did not seem to be doing anything extraordinary or as high speed as what they were implying…. So why? Why all this conflicting and abnormal data… could they be covering up the fact That we have gravitational shielding capabilities that was discovered in the 90s by a Chinese woman working here in the US and want the UFO phenomenon hyped as a cover for clandestine intelligence gathering operations? Well they’re a little late, they’ve moved it all underground now. Lol

Absolutely agree 💯

& what about radar showing it go from 80,000 ft to se level

The co-pilot and trained camera operator literally says "it's rotating" in the offical gimbal video. But they chose to leave that audio out here. Then they use the audio from "go fast". Seems convenient to the debunking they're going for.

Where did they say there own eyes ? I missed that or your making it up

He's just plain wrong.

Odd that he doesn't account for the Radar Contacts that sent the interceptors to the Objects Positions !

Yeah this seemed like all instances here just related to a single point of evidence which was a single video. However, very credible witnesses, radar data, and official reports made at the time all corroborate some of the same stuff.

Agree. That guy made himself look like a complete jackass.

Dont you think that maybe the government planned this inorder to distract the citizens from whats happening inside the country after all the chaos in 2021?..... its seems like there is something terrible going to happen soon and they want to be secret about it.

@@sauron55 Brandon is trying to start a LIMITED Conflict with Russia as a diversion!

I was with Mick up to the point where he tries to explain away the Navy videos. What the naval aviators described seeing with their Mark I eyeballs can’t be explained away by camera aberrations. He’s right that A LOT of prosaic phenomenon are misidentified as UFOs; but he tends to dismiss objects that CANNOT be explained by normal phenomenon too easily. The sheer number of people reporting witnessing craft that cannot be explained by any known conventional technology is staggering. What are the structured, metallic craft that thousands upon thousands of people have been seeing perform maneuvers that are not possible by any known physics or aerodynamics over the last century; including astronauts, pilots, military personnel, police, scientists, and many, many lay people? It would be one thing if only a handful of schizophrenics reported seeing these things; but the numbers of qualified observers seeing such craft are overwhelming. The Japanese pilots who saw a craft the size of a small stadium in Alaska and which was correlated on radar. The many ICBM base personnel who witnessed craft at their launch sites while the missiles stopped functioning. The trucker, four police officers, and a teacher who tracked a huge triangular craft across the Midwest in successive sightings. The man who filmed a test ICBM launch for the military who stated the film showed a UFO disabling the missile in mid air. The Rendlesham Forest incident in which a craft was approached on the ground the first night, and another craft/s was seen on the second night flying through a forest and then over a field by Colonel Halt and his team while the craft sent beams of light to the ground. The film recorded by the team Gordon Cooper was overseeing that showed a disc shaped craft land not far from the film crew. Even Kelly Johnson, the designer of the U2 and the A12/SR71 is reported to have witnessed two craft; one of which was the inspiration for the SR71. Look up what Ben Rich, Kelly Johnson’s successor at Lockheed Skunkworks has said on the subject. The witnessed events just go on and on. It would be one thing if people were only seeing mysterious lights in the sky from a distance, but large numbers of credible witnesses have reported seeing structured, metallic craft performing maneuvers that cannot be explained by known physics; often from fairly close distance too. It’s very difficult to ignore the mass of evidence that has accumulated over the decades. I have to ask myself: what if there is an alien civilization that has decided we’re a threat and has decided to invade us. We would be extremely remiss to ignore the evidence just because it didn’t fit our preconceptions of what evidence is supposed to be. Unfortunately, too many people are making a basic epistemological error: people keep wanting to apply the standards of scientific methodology to this subject when it’s essentially not appropriate. Science was developed to help us understand the natural world, with it’s regular, repeatable forces and processes. Given that what people are seeing are described to be structured, metallic craft performing maneuvers that are impossible by known physics and aerodynamics and appear to be intelligently controlled, we have to assume there is intelligent intention behind these craft; and are thus not natural phenomenon following the predictable laws of nature. Put more simply, given the apparent nature of the phenomenon, it’s reasonable to assume that such technology isn’t going to “naturally” be left for us to find; “scientific proof” will not be forthcoming as if we were studying plate tectonics or biological functions. Therefore the question isn’t, “do they exist?” The question is, “is there enough evidence to warrant serious research?” When multiple lines of evidence converge, it greatly increases the probability that evidence supports an hypothesis; even when none of those lines of evidence can individually provide a “crucial test” to constitute what would be considered proof. For example, before the science of genetics was discovered, which allowed us to understand the actual mechanisms involved in how evolution works, the theory of evolution was not technically proven. There were many supporting lines of evidence that greatly increased the probability that the theory was correct, but there was little in the way of direct proof that could demonstrate the actual mechanisms involved (i.e., the genes that demonstrate how traits are inherited). But once genetics were discovered, we learned the specific mechanisms involved in inheritance and had the physical proof in the form of genes that could be removed from an organism. That’s direct proof rather than just inferred proof from many converging lines of evidence. In the case of UAPs, the sheer volume of evidence (much of it much higher quality than is assumed by skeptics) requires that we take the subject seriously and seek additional evidence so that we can technically prove it’s existence. People often say, “there’s no evidence.” There’s plenty of evidence; but what people mean when you say “evidence” is actually “proof.” They are not the same thing. Given the nature of the phenomenon as I described above, proof that provides a scientific consensus is highly unlikely under the circumstances as we have to assume that such evidential proof is being withheld and obfuscated on several levels. Therefore simply dismissing the phenomenon based on preconceptions (such as the assumption that such craft are traveling light years or that FTL travel is not possible; there’s no basis for such as assumption) is not epistemologically or scientifically appropriate. We can’t obtain the evidence that will prove the existence of such craft until we actually look for it and take the subject seriously. Their existence may not technically be proven, but there’s more than enough evidence to warrant further research and serious inquiry.

You don’t listen much do you. He already explained how the numbers on the planes camera can be used to determine the speed and altitude of the object in question. It’s basic high school trigonometry. We know ufologist don’t know what that is or the basic concept of basic math skills are. The object in question isn’t low to the ground or going fast. It’s only going 20 or so knots, which is about the speed of a bird. Lmao. so you guys getting fooled by birds, commercial planes and balloons.

@@MidNiteR32 I searched weather baloon do not move horizontally, even if blown by the wind, can not move constantly.

@@zunden2 You must never heard of wind. Search harder

@@MidNiteR32 At least according to the confession of 4 pilots in 2 jet planes in this video, they saw the object floating above the sea for a while and the sea water below was churning and there was a shadow of a large object in the sea, I trust the pilots more than this game developer.

@@zunden2 no they didn’t see it. That was all via instruments. Read the reports they it was never a visual with their own eyes.

And is your personal bias that UFOs are alien craft?

@@jerryboggs428 no. I would have thought that was obvious from my comment.

Mick West is just a grifter at this point. His entire revenue comes from him “debunking” and he knows his occupation is in danger. If he admits he’s wrong, these big news companies will stop calling him for his ”eXPeRtiSe” in coming up with insane scenarios to explain things that don’t need his explanations or opinions. He’ll miss out on those interview checks.

@@jerryboggs428 yes they are alien crafts, obviously and logically they are. It will take us 200-300 years from now to create such a technology that these crafts exhibit. It's not terrestrial built. It has no propulsion systems, No sonic booms(which means they donot use/travel in air medium), attains 200 g force easily in split seconds. It has exhibited to travel instantaneously in all directions (360 deg) without taking turns (in the sense instantaneously, which is impossible for even any of our advanced aircrafts developed), they have no aerodynamic control surfaces( which means they donot use air to propel or lift the craft), exhibit all medium travel (travel in water, Russian submarines encountered crafts underwater at high speeds without disturbing teh medium). It's not developed here on earth period. These crafts have existed for centuries here on earth and came to light when they were sighted largely in world war 1 and 2 (pilots were discharged on mental issue when they reported these crafts sightings, some even chased these crafts thinks they were enemy, but couldn't get them). It's easy to blindly question something without ample amount of research on any particular topic.

Mainstream media again pretending to be real news lol

West says he believes the pilots are wrong about what they claimed to have seen. He doesn't accuse them of lying. Learn the difference between "I disagree" and "You're lying." You seem to desperately want to believe UFOs are alien craft.

@@jerryboggs428 ok so he says they are wrong..what makes him more qualified than military pilots? If only you had watched the documentary on bob lazar you would know that this is the way ufo's fly..belly up and at times they hover..you seem too desperate and ignorant..even the pentagon has admitted to their existence..

@@blueeyes3542 So Lazar is the UFO expert but West isn't? That's because you want to believe Lazar and you don't believe West. Again I ask: Of the supposedly tens of thousands of alien visits over the decades, why has no alien contacted us? Don't say it's because of aliens' "Do Not Interfere" policy. How would you know what policies aliens have?

@@jerryboggs428 so you would rather believe this West who is "an investigator of UFO videos" rather than scores of scientists, military and commercial pilots and even high ranking military officers. Even the pentagon has declassified, admitted to ufo existence and released these to the public after decades of denial. And why do you think no contact has been made? Eisenhower himself is said to have met aliens, and there have been ancient paintings and even prehistoric cave paintings and carvings..its ok to be a skeptic but please do your research first

@@blueeyes3542 Grow up, they don't exist on earth

Lol even nasa knows mick ‘dork’ west is a fraud debunker

What I can't understand is, if it's a weather balloon, why did the Weapon Systems Officer have such a hard time boxing it? Surely the autotrack is capable of locking onto a jet fighter, which I would imagine move at far greater speeds than a weather balloon. So why the difficulty if this is just something being pushed around by the wind?

@@Midnorme it’s a good point. From what I’m aware of, which this guy also didn’t mention, ufos jam tracking signals.

@@johnpaulzagami52 Yes actually I forgot about that aspect when I commented, you are absolutely right. From what I remember Lue saying (and please correct me here) the radar jamming could be an unintentional effect of getting too close to the UAP's technology. So perhaps that's why the WSO hard a hard time getting a box on the target?

My mom in the 70s so one in Puerto Rico too. Salinas, Puerto Rico. Huge, cylindrical metallic looking with many lights... She also said it flew into the atmosphere in the blink of an eye. Puerto Rico has a lot of UFOS

lol plus there are whitnesses that have come forward including two pilots from the black aces, multiple radar and flight crew.... its great this guy is analyzing video, but he is really not taking into account any real evidence. his explanations for the go fast, gimble, etc videos are pretty lacking...

i dont think a pilot who can land a fighter jet on a boat hallucinates very much. i think they have pretty sharp senses,

They're trained observers Mick, it's their friggin job.

@@victoriagonzalez5774 not powerless or they would not be hiding like they are scared of our nukes. No matter how technological advanced they are a nuke will do the job and if not nuke the Sun and end it all And we will lose while winning at the same time.

They are pilots not scientists 🤦‍♂️

He debunked all that go watch his videos he even runs a forum called Metabunk where he and many comb through every event. So he’s he knows about eye witness testimony from the pilots and guess what? That unreliable evidence. Mick West is right about all this. What is your counter evidence to combat Micks explanations?

@@MidNiteR32 So basically, Mick provides his rationale for what those objects were, yet when Navy Pilots provide testimonials, he knows he can't explain those away, so he dismisses them as "unreliable"? There are multiple videos like the spherical object they filmed slowly hovering over the ocean water before "splashing" onto the water. There's even films of tic-tacs displaying absolutely explosive acceleration from standstill WITHOUT making a sonic Boom. They can perform all manner of movements in the sky that physics tells us isn't possible, like not losing lift when they rotate in mid air. Look, I'm not some UFO nut who always jumps on every piece of evidence as though it's conclusive proof, but there ARE some out there who vehemently deny the existence of exotic UAP tech because they often have a reason to stubbornly dismiss all evidence, like when they're deeply religious. In their stunted mind they think God made Man in his own image, so what does that make aliens? The kind of people who jump on every story as if it's true are just as bothersome as those who immediately dismiss all evidence because they already believe they know the answer. But if you want to swallow Mick's BS that's up to you; but the fact he casually dismisses witness testimonies of multiple highly trained observers in the Navy makes him lose all credibility in my book.

@@winningjubbly9712 That spherical object was a balloon or distant hot object disappearing into the horizon. Not splashing into the water. It was black and white and shot during the night, how the hell would they know it went underwater? No evidence or wreckage because it was most likely a distant plane disappearing into the horizon. Please understand how cameras work. It’s easy to be fooled when you don’t know what you’re looking at. I hope you understand the laws of physics are universal. Here and everywhere else. Your claim about these things not making sonic booms but no video or evidence to back it up. Is pseudoscience and goes against the laws of thermodynamics. Anything and I mean anything going “hypersonic” or dropping 80k feet to sea level would register a massive sonic boom and shockwave. Regardless of the object at hand. It’s ridiculous these claims about objects doing these things. And hilariously enough, no data or video. Just eye witness testimony Pilots are trained to fly expensive planes not trained to spot UFOs. Big difference. So eye witness is not reliable, regardless if it comes from an experienced pilot - it doesn’t elevate their testimony because they are pilots - it’s all bad because we’re human and we most cases than not are wrong and have bad cognitive dissonance and biases. Which is why Pilot testimony is just that - he said she said.

@@MidNiteR32 You're asking how they knew it went into the water? Because you see the bloody splash as it went underwater. And it dropped off the radar at the same time, which wouldn't happen if it had stayed above water. I'm more than a little suspicious of people who are so determined to dismiss it as nothing by giving explanations that are utterly laughable. The best evidence that supports all this phenomenon are the Navy Pilots who intercepted them, so I'm not surprised the ones who so desperately want to dismiss it are basically calling the pilots a bunch of liars. You do realise those objects appeared on radar, don't you? When I hear highly trained observers describe their encounters with these tic-tacs, yet there are randoms online who are providing the most ridiculous explanations, I know who I'm going to trust the most... That video of an object flying just above the sea level at many hundreds of miles an hour is certainly not the "parallax effect" like some fool suggested. It seems there are people out there who really don't want any of this to be true, although why I can only guess at. Deeply religious people often have a problem with the existence of life elsewhere because it butt-hurts their narrative of "God creating Man in His own image" I'm no fool and I simply don't buy any of the absurd attempts to explain these videos away. And I'm not prepared to write off the testimonials of multiple pilots because someone who NEEDS this to not be true is in denial.

@@MidNiteR32 Also, it would be far easier for Mick to explain these encounters away by calling it the parallax effect, but these objects appeared on multiple sensors and radars. They were seen to go from stationary to hypersonic in an instant, or as Commander Fravor said "like a bullet out of a gun". And WITHOUT causing a sonic boom! Let's see Mick explain THAT one! But, he knows he can't, and so he accuses the pilots of some of the most absurd claims. So the moment Mick is asked about how he explains all the remarkable feats these objects did, he knows no bullshit rationalisation will suffice, and so he's left with the only answer he can give, which is to call the pilots liars and say they're not reliable. That's a mightily arrogant attitude to take, for anyone to think they know more than the pilots who encountered them. Commander Fravor said the object flew right across the front of his jet's nose at very high speed. By claiming they're "balloons going over the horizon" is hilarious. Can I just ask you something? Are you religious, by any chance? It's shocking how you desperately scramble for some way to dismiss these encounters. If you want to believe they're nothing more than engine flare or swamp gas then have at it. I've met people before who vehemently deny the existence of extraterrestrial life, and no matter how incredible any evidence is -- like Obama admitting on TV that these UAP'S are real -- there will always be that element in society that will dismiss it as nothing out of the ordinary, and feel the need to patronise those who are more open-minded by telling them to "please understand how cameras work". I'm not an idiot, you know. I'm just being open-minded whereas people like you will always dismiss something like this as a matter of course, and I'm not sure why you're so close-minded about this. It's like flat earthers constantly dismissing all the evidence that the world appears as an oblate sphere by blaming it on "a fish-eye lens". And when you ask a flat earther how they explain all the mountains of evidence from NASA, they pull the same trick you did -- accusing NASA of being "unreliable". Sound familiar?

Deny deny deny... They have to explain it away because they're involved in creating them

Actually, his job is (was) to program Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video games. He just takes it upon himself to debunk things. But, as you might expect from somebody with a background in one of the most highly commercialized and rigidly corporate industries, he's not a very good scientist.

@@anthonyzeedyk406 he’s very good actually. Run his math regarding the go fast and it all checks out. His explanations are more logical than ufo aliens which no one has provided any evidence for except grainy black n white video of blurry blobs on camera.

@@MidNiteR32 granted, I've definitely seen worse, but when your mindset is "I'm going to debunk everything," that creates a huge bias in your thought processes. Some things truly are debunkable, but for others it may seem satisfactory to say "well, here's a possibility that explains *some* of the original data, but I'm just going to wave away the rest of the data because it doesn't fit my explanation" and THAT is bad science.

The many ICBM base personnel who witnessed craft at their launch sites while the missiles stopped functioning. The trucker, four police officers, and a teacher who tracked a huge triangular craft across the Midwest in successive sightings. The man who filmed a test ICBM launch for the military who stated the film showed a UFO disabling the missile in mid air. The Rendlesham Forest incident in which a craft was approached on the ground the first night, and another craft/s was seen on the second night flying through a forest and then over a field by Colonel Halt and his team while the craft sent beams of light to the ground. The film recorded by the team Gordon Cooper was overseeing that showed a disc shaped craft land not far from the film crew. Even Kelly Johnson, the designer of the U2 and the A12/SR71 is reported to have witnessed two craft; one of which was the inspiration for the SR71. Look up what Ben Rich, Kelly Johnson’s successor at Lockheed Skunkworks has said on the subject. The witnessed events just go on and on. It would be one thing if people were only seeing mysterious lights in the sky from a distance, but large numbers of credible witnesses have reported seeing structured, metallic craft performing maneuvers that cannot be explained by known physics; often from fairly close distance too. It’s very difficult to ignore the mass of evidence that has accumulated over the decades. I have to ask myself: what if there is an alien civilization that has decided we’re a threat and has decided to invade us. We would be extremely remiss to ignore the evidence just because it didn’t fit our preconceptions of what evidence is supposed to be. Unfortunately, too many people are making a basic epistemological error: people keep wanting to apply the standards of scientific methodology to this subject when it’s essentially not appropriate. Science was developed to help us understand the natural world, with it’s regular, repeatable forces and processes. Given that what people are seeing are described to be structured, metallic craft performing maneuvers that are impossible by known physics and aerodynamics and appear to be intelligently controlled, we have to assume there is intelligent intention behind these craft; and are thus not natural phenomenon following the predictable laws of nature. Put more simply, given the apparent nature of the phenomenon, it’s reasonable to assume that such technology isn’t going to “naturally” be left for us to find; “scientific proof” will not be forthcoming as if we were studying plate tectonics or biological functions. Therefore the question isn’t, “do they exist?” The question is, “is there enough evidence to warrant serious research?” When multiple lines of evidence converge, it greatly increases the probability that evidence supports an hypothesis; even when none of those lines of evidence can individually provide a “crucial test” to constitute what would be considered proof. For example, before the science of genetics was discovered, which allowed us to understand the actual mechanisms involved in how evolution works, the theory of evolution was not technically proven. There were many supporting lines of evidence that greatly increased the probability that the theory was correct, but there was little in the way of direct proof that could demonstrate the actual mechanisms involved (i.e., the genes that demonstrate how traits are inherited). But once genetics were discovered, we learned the specific mechanisms involved in inheritance and had the physical proof in the form of genes that could be removed from an organism. That’s direct proof rather than just inferred proof from many converging lines of evidence. In the case of UAPs, the sheer volume of evidence (much of it much higher quality than is assumed by skeptics) requires that we take the subject seriously and seek additional evidence so that we can technically prove it’s existence. People often say, “there’s no evidence.” There’s plenty of evidence; but what people mean when you say “evidence” is actually “proof.” They are not the same thing. Given the nature of the phenomenon as I described above, proof that provides a scientific consensus is highly unlikely under the circumstances as we have to assume that such evidential proof is being withheld and obfuscated on several levels. Therefore simply dismissing the phenomenon based on preconceptions (such as the assumption that such craft are traveling light years or that FTL travel is not possible; there’s no basis for such as assumption) is not epistemologically or scientifically appropriate. We can’t obtain the evidence that will prove the existence of such craft until we actually look for it and take the subject seriously. Their existence may not technically be proven, but there’s more than enough evidence to warrant further research and serious inquiry.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson hasn’t even read the account and he’s out there debunking it. You can tell by all the stuff you’ve pointed out that he excludes, not to mention his retelling of the incident is like a bad game of telephone. Yeah, I trust that guy’s science. If Mick & Neil are what is representative of rigorous science these days, we are all screwed.

What would you expect from man working on Men In Black

"Mick West is obviously a smart man", I can't agree with that. seems a little ignorant to me...or maybe slightly idiotic.

@@olderwiser64 eye witness testimony is not reliable evidence. Also the pentagon report never said the 144 accounts were confirmed aliens, they just don’t have an explanation. The report was never a scientific dive into the subject at hand.

@@olderwiser64 Preach 👽

Which pilots from the videos saw it. Quite the opposite. None of the pilots who recorded the videos saw it. And pilots who did “see” UFOs don’t have any video. Let alone seeing it outside radar or their planes camera. So all of it just eye witness testimony.

@@MidNiteR32 Lmao you legit are commenting on every comment simping for the guy. 🤡

@@MidNiteR32 there have been 1000+ reports and eye witness testimonials from us navy and airforce, so all of them are dumb 😂. 1000 of Commercial pilots and ATC have experienced this both sight and radar, guess what they are also dumb. Irony was that gallileo told that sun was the center and all the planets revolved around it. But the society laughed at him. Rest is history.

@@vignesh.s3115 Sightings of objects - not aliens. And none of them have any video and the video released isn’t anything interesting or what they claim objects to be doing. Along with no real data to back up those claims. So it’s all eye witness, which is unreliable because humans are flawed and have bad memories. Also mostly all of the reports are from the Navy, why hasn’t the US air force reported much of these encounters? So aliens only seem to be making their presence known by US pilots? Come back when you have real evidence because no one hasn’t real evidence.

@@MidNiteR32 US airforce were the ones that started project sign, project grudge and project blue book. The Roswell incident was all US Air force. Us Air force have been on this since world war 2 ( when many pilots sighted these crafts during war and reported pilots were dismissed of mental inability charges) Washington DC incident itself is one of the most major incident ( when UFOs hovered close to whit house and were chased by the air force in vain. Air force have been covering it up from 65 years. They don't want to reveal this to the public because it will create mass hysteria and shock among people. Will destabilize the order around the world. Stock markets will crash. Relegious institutions will crumble. Point is it's not just USA that have experienced UFOs, china, Japan(recently have come out to share thier UFOs sightings with US) Britain, Brazil, Israel, Russia, India, Australia, Zimbabwe and many more countries). It's a worldwide phenomena, many countries have tried to attack these crafts when they tress passed thier airspace, but in vain ( thier speeds and maneuverabilty are completely impossible with existing high tech aircrafts).

@@apknox507 I don't think anyone involved has spoken about what was seen. There was a voice that said, "It's rotating". He may have been simply looking at the thermal display. Also someone said, "There's a whole fleet of them", but without statements from those involved, the Gimbal video doesn't mean very much.

He's continuing the work of the Government debunkers, with no cost to them. Well done Mick.

@@rogerfroud300 while i do think we need skeptics to force people to look for answers i think we need to listen to all the stuff besides just the videos because there along with eyewitness testimony and radar data all at the same time we need to figure out what is going on because it could be anything some other country created a supersonic jet some random scientist found away to beat physics our yes the extraterrestrial hypothesis i'm just a person who wants to get to the bottom of it all

I just want an unbiased opinion from all who was or is involved not a guy who just wants to debunk everything other people see. I don't understand people like that apparently this guy Mick West has all the answers.

@@michaelburns3682 i totally get it here is a few people you should look up the black vault original nick pope luiz elizando the basement office they are very good at this

I dont think its aliens. I think its pre-flood hominids. And thats far more plausible then believing America had ground state propulsion since the 40s when these things started being seen regularly. Thats a huge accusation that doesnt make financial sense. If we invented those 80 years ago, we'd be using them to clown Russia by now. America would take over the world with that kind of tech in the 40s.

@@1upSTARS I doubt that most other UFO sightings are factual. This is one of the few actual confirmed, unexplainable sightings that wasn't just some kind of optical illusion. And please enlighten me on what a "pre-flood hominid" is.

@@thelordofforeheads2839 Nobody said "Most other ufo sightings are factual." That was a ridiculous amount of twist you just tried to pull off there. You must not be very confident in your stance to feel the need to be that way. Very Few, Extremely Few, The Fewest of the Few sightings are real. And that makes them no less significant. You seem to be the type that just knows everything already. For shits and giggles, how many hours of ufo footage have you seen? And I mean strictly the footage, not including documentaries or shows.

@@1upSTARS to be completely honest I am not a conspiracy theorist, nor do I have any massive interest in learning more about UFOs, the video recorded by the jets interested me because it was confirmed as factual by the US government. My argument is that most traditional UFO sightings that began around Roswell happened because people with the knowledge of what UFOs were saw what they wanted to see. Correct me if I’m wrong but there also seems to be little uniformity in the descriptions of UFOs.

@@thelordofforeheads2839 WTF are you talking about? Damn near Every legitimate UFO description matches that from people who dont know anything about eachother. Separated by thousands of miles and even decades of time. What do Conspiracies have to do with this? Do you think THOUSANDS of people seeing a UFO at the same time and then taking pictures and videos of it like the Phoenix Lights incident is a Conspiracy? Never mind,,, something is clearly wrong with you. :( You are Choosing to ignore the evidence on purpose. You are free to not believe the evidence placed in front of you. But dont be an ass and pretend its not there. Just say you dont believe Visual Proof when its shown to you. And that you think billions of people are just lying. Your reasoning doesnt even make sense. In 1994 Students at a school in Zimbabwe who knew NOTHING AT ALLLLL About UFOs or what they might look like in America, Saw a UFO. They all described it. How did that happen? Its called the the Ruwa School incident. And people in the town around the school saw it as well. They said they saw a flying Disc. They also said it turned into a Floating Orange Ball, which is what I have Personally seen in Bartlett, IL with my own eyes. 1966 30 years Before that, April 6 at Westall High School in Melbourne 300 people staff and students saw multiple flying disc. They even described how it hovered in mid air, And then Turns on its side like like in this video, before disappearing. How would they know that detail? Seriously,,, that is a HUGE Detail. Where did they get that information? Your argument of "Previous Knowledge of UFOS" also falls apart because before 2012 all UFOS in movies and pop culture made Noise. But the Witnesses who saw them said they were Completely Silent. So how would the witnesses get that detail??? A lucky Guess? People like you are the worst. :( I dont know what they are. I dont even think they are Aliens. But at least I'm man enough to admit when I dont know something. Its ridiculous that you would say most sightings are around Roswell. I've seen probably about 20 hours of UFO footage and thousands of pictures of them. (The VAST MAJORITY of which turned out to be fake) However, they have very little to do with Roswell. Roswell isnt even Closely related to most sightings, besides the fact that its a claimed UFO.

That was nice of them! Helpful aliens! Can’t beat that!

Abductions, real or not are dismissed with good reason. There's no way to verify threm. No radar data, no evidence of any kind. It's that simple.

I think very few people believe in abductions. I do believe in alien abductions and that we're powerless against these beings.

Probably because most of it is bullshit backed up with no evidence

@@auntedna6376 I thought the same, but how would people debunk the abduction cases in which "implants" were surgically removed by licensed doctors? The implants were tiny metallic, oddly shaped, and were in stable isotopes not found in nature here. There's many videos on RU-vid if you want more details.

Mick is a debunker, or pseudo-skeptic. He can't be convinced regardless of evidence, which isn't skepticism.

@@bodystomp5302 - correct, it's his obsession, because he 'knows' UFOs can't be extraterrestrial.

navy not air force

Ok the jets in the sky lol. But you're right 🙂

so true

They say they can’t tell us anything else bc there isn’t much else to tell us yet they are doing further investigations.

@@nataliebierman3067 Ok causes its being so long time

The pilots have come forward to address all Mick's BS. And a FLIR expert, Dave Falch. Mick's explanation re: Gimbal rotation isn't even possible.

@@bodystomp5302 - He just ignores that, and keeps reiterating his same theory, even though he knows it's incorrect. He can't be wrong, his ego is too big to cope with that.

I was with Mick up to the point where he tries to explain away the Navy videos. What the naval aviators described seeing with their Mark I eyeballs can’t be explained away by camera aberrations. He’s right that A LOT of prosaic phenomenon are misidentified as UFOs; but he tends to dismiss objects that CANNOT be explained by normal phenomenon too easily. The sheer number of people reporting witnessing craft that cannot be explained by any known conventional technology is staggering. What are the structured, metallic craft that thousands upon thousands of people have been seeing perform maneuvers that are not possible by any known physics or aerodynamics over the last century; including astronauts, pilots, military personnel, police, scientists, and many, many lay people? It would be one thing if only a handful of schizophrenics reported seeing these things; but the numbers of qualified observers seeing such craft are overwhelming. The Japanese pilots who saw a craft the size of a small stadium in Alaska and which was correlated on radar.

@@keirfarnum6811 yep! Totally agree. I still think he and other skeptics play an important role. Think of the flat earthers, Qannon nuts, anti vaxers, etc. I mean yea, from our perspective we laugh at them for being wrong but we think we are totally right for believing aliens are flying around in their ships all over the place. What if we're not right on certain beliefs? Think of all the religions and their gods. They are totally "real" to their respective believers but not to anyone else. Who's calling them out on that? No one. Why are there are so many versions of what we think is real anyway. If you're in a cult you simply wouldn't know it. Because what you believe is real. There are people already making various claims about having contact with ET's and they make predictions that never come true and make statements that are everywhere in the spectrum of reality. There are so many suggestable people that don't have a basic understanding of the scientific method that would easily get sucked into any rabbit hole created by some random person who is just decent enough at conveying what they imagine and is looking for people that agree with them. I'm totally in with the UAP/UFO phenomenon but have to use caution and look to the skeptics to see a different perspective. As the evidence mounts and can't be explained away anymore they will come around and bring more people with them in due time. I think we should have conversations about how religions are going to move the goal post and try to make sense of all this for the followers. How do we break down what is real from what isn't? At what point do start seeing each other as one species and break down our borders? Who's version of reality do we follow? What is reality anyway? Why is something real to some but not others? Why aren't we having discussions about that? After all isn't what we believe to be real foundational to our human experience? We still don't know what the ET intent is anyhow. For all we know everyone's getting anal probed.

Don't count on disclosure. Not gonna happen anytime soon. May be never. Will be debunked for obvious reasons.

Yeah well I hate his analysis. He's a paid debunker. He needs to do more research on the subject. The pilots are paid observers and I wouldn't doubt them. These things exist. The human race is still in it's infancy. People need to be told, maybe that's what all this is about, because certain groups within the government damn well know that they exist already.

@@victoriagonzalez5774 I've seen him break down videos that I thought could be dudes from another planet. He knows his stuff. Not just alien ships but Chem trails, Qannon, and other conspiracy theories that are just demonstrably bad and untrue like anti vaxers and flat earthers. He is patient when he speaks to these people. And tries to understand why people believe what they believe without being condescending. This is why he gets air time on big networks. I respect what he does. I think it is important. It's easy to hate someone you disagree with in general, I think it's what we do as human beings. There is a bunch of data but it can take months or years to sift through it and form a conclusion about aliens and their intentions and technology.

"That guy is a fraud." Proof, please. Couldn't he say the same of you?

Just because you are tired of--and don't want to hear--the old "It's a balloon, It's an airplane," it doesn't mean UFOs are alien craft. You seem to fervently, religiously want to believe in alien craft visiting Earth. Of the supposedly tens of thousands of alien visits over the decades, why has no alien contacted us? Don't say it's because of aliens' "Do Not Interfere" policy. How would you know what policies aliens have?

Do you say that because he doesn't say what you want him to say?
