It’s not a fucking stone reflected in a lake. It might be secret tech. But that in itself is quite the story given the description that it hovered silently for 10 mins before showing instant acceleration.
That's a stone in a loch, with an RAF or USAF jet (Harrier?) captured in the same reflection
Look at the angle of the fence. The camera is looking DOWN. It's a reflection
We still need to explain the incredible chicanery around that photo (hoax? Psy ops? Why now?); but I reckon this is a stone in a loch
I am happy to be proven wrong. Let's see what Mick West says
Why no ripples?
Scotland does have quiet calm overcast days. And that supposed flat grey sky could easily be reflected grey sky
My theory: someone took some photos of a loch with a reflected stone and noticed they had captured a stray Harrier in the same image. They realised this looked like a UFO being buzzed and was not obviously disprovable - because it is a photo of something genuine. Not a fake kite or a frisbee
They tried to make money out of it but the UKG over-reacted and closed it all down. Now it emerges, at the optimum time to make cash during the latest UAP flap
What is more likely: UFOs are visiting us all the time and this is one primary example, or it is a photo of a rock in a loch with a passing jet plane?
There seem to be plenty of more compelling UFO stuff out there (see what I did there?) than this one to be honest.
Yeah, I think it is a rock in a loch. The fence is at the wrong angle
It is, nonetheless, a remarkable piece of hoaxing, if this is what it is. This photo has been discussed for many years, and now suddenly this ancient dude in Scotland emerges.... with the real photo..... at just the right time!
Hats off to them, if they have hoodwinked half the world with a grainy photo of: a rock in a loch
Wasn't there a photo of the Loch Ness monster which turned out to be an old tyre?

There were six photos taken not just one. The flap could be shut down by declassifying them all, as well as the official report and investigation. Namely, what was told to Cabinet members? Did the MoD not check the flights logs of the two planes (this photo shows one, story at the time said two) before doing that? If there were no flights at that time and/or the flight missions were unremarkable, what is the reason for the extended classification and cabinet briefing?
Will be interesting to see if the hikers come out the woodwork. And after that potentially the pilot.

Don't you all realise that today's "loch" story is framing background for imminent revelations about the "documents" stolen from the US government by Donald Trump?

There is still something odd about the photo. The rock, if it is such, is weirdly angular. There are no ripples, no hint of a liquid surface (but that happens in Scottish lochs on still days). The reflection isn't quite right?
So who knows. But my parsimonious guess is: rock in a loch, and the hoax got out of hand and now people are trying to belatedly cash in
As I have said before: we need Mick West to weigh in. He's great at this stuff. His first reaction is: "kite" - which to me is obviously wrong
If he cannot easily debunk this, then we have a major mystery and maybe one of the most important photos in history. We shall see

It's a bit pathetic, and largely explained by me consulting a bottle of wine on a Friday night, but I've just watched Dunkirk again and it's reduced me to floods of tears. I know I have embarrassed my wife and mother-in-law by so doing, but I think the film sort of represents the country we are. And it makes me proud.
We are a good people. A very good people. And I am proud - so proud.
Get on the meths again next Friday and watch this.

USAF have never had Harrier apart from participation in the UK/FRG/USA Tripartite Evaluation squadron with Kestrel (not exactly Harrier) at RAF West Raynham in 1964 - 65.
Don't do this. You're not good at it. It's like me trying to discuss anchovies or something.

What is the object in the middle? The actual UFO? For most of the evening I’ve been convinced it’s a simple optical illusion. A rock in a loch
And yet, now I look at it again: hmmm. The reflection isn’t quite right? It’s a genuine mystery

Nah, @Dura_Ace was pointing out that it wasn't a USAF Harrier, not saying it wasn't a Harrier at all.
Aiui, only the USMC fly Harriers?
This guy sounds authoritative
‘For me, the problem with that is that on August 4, 1990, all of the U.S.'s Harrier's should have been on-station on the USS Nassau and Tarawa in the Middle East. The Gulf War had just started 2 days prior.’

So, a RN or RAF Harrier. Sounds like the USMC Harriers weren't in the vicinity.

Desert Storm started then, the initial invasion of Kuwait started 2 August 1990
Some Alpha Centurian proximity interstellar scouting units have been known to operate refitted earthing-built Harriers for operation in low terrestrial orbits, could be one of those. They switch out the propulsion systems, obviously.
In vain it would seem, but at least there are some still fighting againt him.
3rd party candidate 2024?
A civil war within the Republican party would be better than one nationally.
Liz Cheney has already ruled out a 3rd party run, in a TV interview. She said that she fears that she would only draw votes away from the Democrat nominee, if she ran as a 3rd party candidate.
I was reliably informed by Ishmaelz that California did not have enough water to fill a reservoir (or words to that effect). So I'd say things are looking up.
It seems you don't understand the science then because things aren't looking up, flooding due to intense rain is unfortunately common in drought conditions. When the ground is dry under drought conditions the ground is unable to easily absorb the water and if its coming down heavily in thunderstorms then it means not that much water relatively speaking can cause flash flooding. While the ground underneath the flood is still too dry as its not absorbing the water.
Consistent, lighter drizzly rain is more useful than thunderstorms to end a drought.
The ability to have both flooding and drought simultaneously is realistically all too plausible if the rain comes down too heavily. Like cooking food too fast so the outside is burnt but the inside is still undercooked pink chicken or even frozen still.

Well Scientologists think we came to Earth on spaceships that looked like DC9s
Or because calling someone "they" is worse than treason and insurrection and trying to end democracy?
The Woke Cultural Marxist left - of which you are a clueless part - needs to be challenged, examined, extirpated and eliminated. Get rid. I would far prefer it if this was done via a sane hard right republican President. That’s what we need. Not trump
But in the end if it is the woke left versus Trump, I would choose the insane maniac trump. Because the Left is even worse. See the apologists for the Rushdie attacker, today.

Betfair Republican nominee for the 2024 election (as thread header) now:- 2.44 Trump 2.88 De Santis 16 Pence
On topic they kind of have to prosecute him now, don't they? If Trump hadn't demagogued the search they could have just satisfied themselves he no longer had classified documents to show off to his dinner guests and that would have been that. But as it is the desire to stay out of politics is inverted: It looks more like a political put-up job if they *don't* bring charges and make them stick.
I've looked at this case and my suspicion is that most people in the story are telling the truth - as they see it. ie this is a real photo of something genuinely odd in the Scottish sky. It's not "a reflection in a loch" or a "kite"

I am happy to be proven wrong. Let's see what Mick West says
Why no ripples?
Scotland does have quiet calm overcast days. And that supposed flat grey sky could easily be reflected grey sky
My theory: someone took some photos of a loch with a reflected stone and noticed they had captured a stray Harrier in the same image. They realised this looked like a UFO being buzzed and was not obviously disprovable - because it is a photo of something genuine. Not a fake kite or a frisbee
They tried to make money out of it but the UKG over-reacted and closed it all down. Now it emerges, at the optimum time to make cash during the latest UAP flap
What is more likely: UFOs are visiting us all the time and this is one primary example, or it is a photo of a rock in a loch with a passing jet plane?
There seem to be plenty of more compelling UFO stuff out there (see what I did there?) than this one to be honest.
Yeah, I think it is a rock in a loch. The fence is at the wrong angle
It is, nonetheless, a remarkable piece of hoaxing, if this is what it is. This photo has been discussed for many years, and now suddenly this ancient dude in Scotland emerges.... with the real photo..... at just the right time!
Hats off to them, if they have hoodwinked half the world …
This is a good point. https://twitter.com/steve_vladeck/status/1558297623118979077 The problem with the “Trump declassified everything by unwritten fiat” argument is not just the absence of any contemporaneous evidence that it happened; it’s that, if presidents had that kind of power, Biden could just reclassify everything Trump declassified in one fell swoop.
Or because calling someone "they" is worse than treason and insurrection and trying to end democracy?
The Woke Cultural Marxist left - of which you are a clueless part - needs to be challenged, examined, extirpated and eliminated. Get rid. I would far prefer it if this was done via a sane hard right republican President. That’s what we need. Not trump
But in the end if it is the woke left versus Trump, I would choose the insane maniac trump. Because the Left is even worse. See the apologists for the Rushdie attacker, today.
I think Rushdie himself would be utterly horrified if the attack on him is used as argument for a new Trump presidency or a revival of the extreme Right.
On topic they kind of have to prosecute him now, don't they? If Trump hadn't demagogued the search they could have just satisfied themselves he no longer had classified documents to show off to his dinner guests and that would have been that. But as it is the desire to stay out of politics is inverted: It looks more like a political put-up job if they *don't* bring charges and make them stick.
The question might still be, what prompted this search? Had Trump been boasting to friends? Was there an audit of government records? There had earlier been concerns about foreign agents accessing Mar-A-Lago, for instance.
Betfair Republican nominee for the 2024 election (as thread header) now:- 2.44 Trump 2.88 De Santis 16 Pence
The related bet "Will Trump run in 2024?" has Yes on 1.29.
I just do not see the Republican Party primary voters rejecting Trump if he actually decides to run.
The fate of the 10 Congressional Republicans who voted to impeach Trump is worth remembering.
4 out of the 10 (Upton, Kinzinger, Gonzalez & Katko) chose to retire, presumably because they knew they would be defeated.
3 have already been defeated (Herrera-Beutler, Meijer & Rice) & 1 more (Cheney) is almost certain to be defeated.
Only 2 (Valadao & Newhouse) will be on the ballot in November & only because they are in strongly Democrat states (Washington & California) & ran in jungle primaries with a Democrat getting the other slot.
These are not the signs of a Republican party that is on the path to rejecting Trumpism.
While I didn't sleep well, my strategy of watching Captain America: the Winter Soldier until about 2am and then trying to sleep proved more effective than attempting an earlier bedtime on Thursday night. Be glad when this nonsense is over with.

Yes, but Trump will say he declassified the documents he took. Biden is not going to say he re-classified them.

No you are wrong about 7.
What do you think explains the raft of statements from a wide range of security, military, academic and political figures in the last 2 years?

The apologists for the attack on Rushdie are an irrelevant tiny fringe, with no hold on power. Meanwhile, the Trumpite Right, who reject democracy, are a majority within the GOP.
Give your head a wobble. Trump is the more immediate threat, and it isn't a forced choice between the two.

Betfair Republican nominee for the 2024 election (as thread header) now:- 2.44 Trump 2.88 De Santis 16 Pence
Is 16 Pence the monetary value of the Republican party's remaining integrity? Seems a bit high to be honest.
“Newly released Ministry of Defence files reveal they took the unusual step of informing senior Cabinet figures after an unidentified object was captured on camera in Perthshire.”
It’s not a fucking stone reflected in a lake. It might be secret tech. But that in itself is quite the story given the description that it hovered silently for 10 mins before showing instant acceleration.
That's a stone in a loch, with an RAF or USAF jet (Harrier?) captured in the same reflection
Look at the angle of the fence. The camera is looking DOWN. It's a reflection
We still need to explain the incredible chicanery around that photo (hoax? Psy ops? Why now?); but I reckon this is a stone in a loch
I am happy to be proven wrong. Let's see what Mick West says
Why no ripples?
Scotland does have quiet calm overcast days. And that supposed flat grey sky could easily be reflected grey sky
My theory: someone took some photos of a loch with a reflected stone and noticed they had captured a stray Harrier in the same image. They realised this looked like a UFO being buzzed and was not obviously disprovable - because it is a photo of something genuine. Not a fake kite or a frisbee
They tried to make money out of it but the UKG over-reacted and closed it all down. Now it emerges, at the optimum time to make cash during the latest UAP flap
What is more likely: UFOs are visiting us all the time and this is one primary example, or it is a photo of a rock in a loch with a passing jet plane?
There seem to be plenty of more compelling UFO stuff out there (see what I did there?) than this one to be honest.
Yeah, I think it is a rock in a loch. The fence is at the wrong angle
It is, nonetheless, a remarkable piece of hoaxing, if this is what it is. This photo has been discussed for many years, and now suddenly this ancient dude in Scotland emerges.... with the real photo..... at just the right time!
Hats off to them, if they have hoodwinked half the world with a grainy photo of: a rock in a loch
Wasn't there a photo of the Loch Ness monster which turned out to be an old tyre?

Will be interesting to see if the hikers come out the woodwork. And after that potentially the pilot.

Don't you all realise that today's "loch" story is framing background for imminent revelations about the "documents" stolen from the US government by Donald Trump?
And why did he he buy Turnberry?
https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/405361-eric-trump-shoots-down-ufo-sighting-at-trump-turnberry/ "Why now?" is the right question.

I've been sat alone, in the increasing dark, for the last 90 minutes, watching the stars, and I have never had a stronger desire to be confounded by a UFO
https://twitter.com/robinince/status/1558203295847645185
So who knows. But my parsimonious guess is: rock in a loch, and the hoax got out of hand and now people are trying to belatedly cash in
As I have said before: we need Mick West to weigh in. He's great at this stuff. His first reaction is: "kite" - which to me is obviously wrong
If he cannot easily debunk this, then we have a major mystery and maybe one of the most important photos in history. We shall see
Goodnight PB!

“Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged," his agent, Andrew Wylie said.”
Fuck these Islamists.
What is the object in the middle? The actual UFO? For most of the evening I’ve been convinced it’s a simple optical illusion. A rock in a loch
And yet, now I look at it again: hmmm. The reflection isn’t quite right? It’s a genuine mystery
Conclusion: probably a Harrier
https://twitter.com/lttimmcmillan/status/1558149345022713859?s=21&t=42LT0ewiO4G9JCBeK6KFew
Aiui, only the USMC fly Harriers?
‘For me, the problem with that is that on August 4, 1990, all of the U.S.'s Harrier's should have been on-station on the USS Nassau and Tarawa in the Middle East. The Gulf War had just started 2 days prior.’
Fuck the jet. Who cares. The daily Mail has a photo of where the ufo photo was taken. No lochs anywhere
If they are right the mystery deepens. What is the rhomboid object in the sky?
Unlikely he survives. Awful
Consistent, lighter drizzly rain is more useful than thunderstorms to end a drought.
The ability to have both flooding and drought simultaneously is realistically all too plausible if the rain comes down too heavily. Like cooking food too fast so the outside is burnt but the inside is still undercooked pink chicken or even frozen still.
"An actual announcement would come in the months after the midterms, but allies say the accelerated coordination with the DNC, which has poured resources into crucial swing states ahead of November, is the surest public indication Biden is plotting a second run."

Jo Grimond also had a second spell as Liberal leader, but that was officially a temporary position.
No wonder even Oxford could only give him a third in History.

A reminder that "cultural Marxism" is an antisemitic conspiracy theory.
Anyway, Oxford's history degree is a joke, they gave Dominic Cummings a first so quality is clearly not their watchword.
