I'm not so sure I'm buying any of that footage. Something doesn't look quite right about it. And that's not tracer fire, I've fired many many tracer rounds and that's not what I remember. Plus, tracers are not allowed in NJ, not sure why anyone would have them. All the clicking noise from whatever he's using doesn't sound right to me either. Uh, to me it's kinda later for anyone to be posting up footage....I think we are past this.

great! they are making drones with jet engines now. I want one as soon as the price-point drops to $3000

That's apparently the (fantasy) world you live in. In the (real) world I live in impossibilities are endless. Like the prospect of a genetic alteration could be engineered to give the recipient the ability to see protons with the naked eye.

But then, ya gotta know some quantum and subatomic particle physics to know why this is impossible.

Same with antigravity.

Ignorance is bliss. Greer can only fool those lacking the requisite basic understanding of how gravity works. Look up General Relativity and spacetime metric... good place to start.

But we do know photons are photons, regardless of their frequency. Adjust the sensitivity of our rods and cones and the world could be an even more fascinating and vastly more confusing place.

Imagine, not only will people see jets as drones, they'll be able to say they are also invisible!

"Just tell us." Sometimes the government don't owe you an answer but most of the time....they do.

Oddly, teleportation is theoretically possible, although it isn't really "teleportation", by "making two points far apart in space close together by bending spacetime" but those are just details.

And when you step through the transporter in NYC to walk out on the surface of Mars (looks a lot like an ordinary metal detector, be careful!), you might also be 10,000 years in the future... just how the equations work out, unfortunately

They are still a bit loud for my taste.

Video of ‘car-sized drone in Las Vegas’ is digitally created - Full Fact

The original poster says the video is “created digitally” in the caption.

fullfact.org

From the article:

A video of a “car-sized drone” supposedly spotted in Las Vegas has been digitally created.

It shows a large black flying object and a building with “Wynn” written on the side in the background. A voiceover says the object is “one of those drones that everybody’s talking about” and comments on how loud it is. Traffic noise can be heard in the background. The “drone” then flies off into the distance.

Although the video renders real buildings quite convincingly, such as Wynn Las Vegas, a luxury hotel and casino in the city, and the nearby gold Trump International Hotel, the footage isn’t genuine.

It was originally posted on TikTok and YouTube alongside the caption “this video was created digitally”. In the YouTube video the creator also says “the craft is a D77-TC Pelican”, which comes from the video game Halo.
