Amazing how quick they can work when they're building aircraft that do one thing well

This is an F-35 hate account. F-22 gang

I was 35 h8er until I got to work alongside them. They are every bit as incredible as you can imagine, which means an incredible pain in the ass to work on.

That explains the triangular UFO sightings

I don't know.. Can it hover in place and operate without sound like the recent triangular UAP sightings?

Edit: For any skeptics who haven't truly and honestly evaluated the evidence for the existence of UAP, I strongly encourage you to read my post here.

Ever drive through a city with the airport near the highway and see the airplanes approaching to land? They look like they are hovering there.

Sigh. Ok. Why are they ALWAYS seem to fit human-sized pilots? Look at our Earthly animals. There's ants to blue whales. Why are the ayyliums ALWAYS in fuckable sizes, not long-horses gerraffes sized? Oooooooo. HOVERING!!!! Truly an unobtainable mode of flight beyond the ken of Humans which only the ayylmaoians can do. Whoah!!!

Good job making absolutely no substantive point and trying to undermine this as an erroneous subject when it's not. You also are clearly misinformed when there are clearly varying sizes to the UAP.

Furthermore, would you look at an aircraft carrier and assume that it must be some massive physical beings inside, rather than many beings of smaller stature?

Your grand stand is nothing more than a display of your own ignorance. Read my post and refute the substantial evidence that anomalous crafts exist. It does not mean the crafts could not be of human origin. Just look at the declassified Project 1794 which I have in my post.

Your fixation on whether or not UAP are of terrestrial origin has absolutely no bearing on whether or not the crafts exist. It's nothing more than a strawman argument (logical fallacy).

If you want to have a genuine discussion on the matter, actually formulate an argument instead of acting like a childish redditor and insulting other people on a subject you're clearly ignorant of.

I am not presenting big-haired ancient alien nonsense from the history channel. I present valid information and a rational argument.

If you think this is not a valid subject of study and that those who do are dumb, then you must be smarter than world renown scientists studying this subject.

Just because you haven't caught up and are still disregarding the subject due to preconceived internalized beliefs, it doesn't mean it is not a credible subject. If you truly think I'm ignorant and you're right, read my post and then get back to me. Otherwise I might as well be arguing with an anti-vaxxer who refuses to acknowledge the evidence.

Looks kinda like a giant flying mantis ray

Moving through air is not that different than water. Manta rays have evolved that shape for a reason.
