Victor Davis Hanson

But he said 14.

And then he said this thing, it wasn't ours.

He said, I don't know what it was, but it wasn't ours.

And that's all he said.

And I had a very high ranking member of the Navy describe some underwater experiences they'd had with something that was doing 200 miles.

And the best thing we got is probably 40.

It was doing 200 miles an hour underwater.

Underwater, big as a football field.

And that's no fish.

Not with our technology, no.

The best we have is probably in the high 30s.

yeah it is but on the other hand if somebody said there was a hypersonic missile 10 you know mach 3 or something i wouldn't have believed it you know like the now the russians and we and the chinese have them and then if somebody said there's an iron beam that can knock down um

incoming projectiles or there's drones that can go i don't know what is this 10 g's or more i wouldn't have believed it so our technology is increasing at a not an arithmetic but a geometric rate it seems like so i don't know to what degree people who see these things are

are part of a military group or civilian group where there are people who are experimenting with these technologies with drones, hypersonic lasers that they're not communicating.

I don't know to the degree that's true.

Yes, exactly.

And then the other thing is, how many light years are we away from the nearest planet that would support life?

And some of them are a lot of light years.

So you're talking about a type of propulsion that could go at the speed of light to get to us within a few years.

It seems very improbable.
