Centuries even
Remind me again how long we have had powered flight? Pretty sure it's just over a century. Not sure if plural fits here.
20th and 21st centuries.... Checkmate
If you've known something for 11 years, would you say you've known it for 2 decades?
Check, mate.
You would say you have known it in 2 decades.
Double checkmate
the first powered blimp was built in the 1850s so it's only 26 years away from being a 200 year old technology, first hot air balloon flight was 250ish years ago though and as long as someone couldn't tell what it was then that's technically a UFO from over 200 years ago.
The report lists new technologies that researchers believe led to spikes in UAP reports in the 1950s and 60s. They included high-altitude balloons - one of which inspired waves of UFO speculation when it crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947
oh for fuck’s sake
Not to mention that relentless "swamp gas"
Dude in the military who runs the swamp gas generator:
Can't get any fuckin respect
Then how do you explain the X-Files then???
