More interesting question is how the hell in a world with 4k phone cameras we still only get blurry vhs tape quality videos.

What do you mean? Because it's a valid explanation. It's near impossible to fake a perfectly clear and high res, well focused image or video without showing artifacts of image manipulation. I do agree that a lot of those are taken in by amateurs on questionable gear, but I've yet to see a compelling video that cannot be debunked. And in the case of the navy or whatever army branch supposed sightings, I think those leave us with two options since they are so secretive on the subject ; it's purposefully deceptive or it's fabricated by third parties without consent. I want to believe but nothing ever comes out of those sightings so it's very hard to be impartial.

What does '"take your rock" suppose to mean then?

Yeah and I'm again asking to explain it because to me it sounded like you asked me to take my meds.

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You took my joke serious and than tried to explain your point. I used an old expression to point it out: Thank you Captain Obvious. Have this rock.

[–] guylacaptivite@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Never heard this expression in my life

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You must be rather new to internet then.

Captain obvious was definitely a 2000 meme so strange you never encountered it. Or maybe you are pulling my leg now - what is even real anymore?

[–] guylacaptivite@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm honestly not. I've heard the captain obvious part sporadically, but never seen "have a rock".

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago

Then there are only two possibilities: I spend too much time online, or you spend not enough.

This premise is also false. Go on youtube to see high definition video of UFOs.

There are tons of sightings, and yes they went up with the advent of phones.
