What BBC’s rolling elephant dung-cam can teach us about UAP
The “Poop Motor UFO” Thought Experiment hear me out in the BBC series "spy in the wild", a camera system was camoflauged as elephant poop to film a herd of elephants. the device consisted of a "mothershit" and some detachable “dung balls” with their own cameras that could roll around independently by remote control. from the outside, the propulsion system of the mini-poop is basically invisible and it just looks like a little ball of shit rolling by itself. some elephants seem to react like “that shit is haunted.” to a curious calf, maybe it is just a fun ball to kick around or maybe some of the wiser ones can tell the hoomans are up to something https://youtube.com/shorts/-yTCvAblt5o?si=mNJlSQWr2ba_UryT anyway seeing all that got me thinking about UAP an elephant seeing a haunted dung ball and a human seeing a UAP may be a closer experiences than we care to admit. in both cases, the observer sees motion before they understand mechanism. some elephants may think the dung is wrong. some may sense it is a toy. some humans say UAPs are demons. some say we used to hold ceremony with our star relatives on the regular. the fake dung ball is not reactionless. it is probably using a combination of internal motors, wheels and gyros to shift the weight of the poop around in such a manner that from the outside it looks inert, but inside there is a phase relationship between motor, shell, and ground that looks to us elephants like a tootsie rolling. then for any apparently apparently propellantless object, where is the hidden coupling surface? a boat pushes on water. a wing pushes on air. a solar sail pushes on photons. a magnet pushes through field geometry. a plasma craft might push on ionized atmosphere. a stranger object may be pushing on a medium we do not yet know how to properly name outside the eytmology of "spacetime". so I am not saying “UAPs are fake elephant poops secretly recording earth". i am saying a lot of UAP discourse gets stuck at “I don’t see wings, exhaust, propellers, rotors, or control surfaces, therefore it must be impossible, demonic, interdimensional, fake and gay" no visible propulsion does not mean no propulsion. it means the coupling mechanism is not obvious from the outside and the dung ball becomes a funny, grounded model for how hidden propulsion can look anomalous when the observer cannot see the coupling mechanism. or as arthur c clarke said, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic to a sufficiently ignorant mind. a speculative version of this idea is what I would call "impedance traction" or motion produced by phased asymmetry between an internal oscillator and its surrounding medium/field environment. imagine a hollow sphere pushing against the local field structure around it whether that be plasma, ionized air, magnetic field gradients, charged surfaces, emitted photons, or some deeper background vacuum/field impedance. anyway shitty opinions are like shitty assholes, everybody's got one. what are your thoughts on this shit? submitted by /u/disclosureanticlimax [link] [comments]
