SETI used to have a program where folks like us could make their PCs available to SETI (when idle) via the web so that our processors could be used to analyze all of that data from space. Imagine millions of CPUs combing through all that data...and you got to be a part of it.
Already out of service, it has serious limitations in war time. It is a major effort to get it's own weight airborne consuming so much fuel it limits it's use. It was really designed for the Marine corps since they are usually the first to go ashore or engage, needing that close air support which is already in their group. Then Britain opted for the sloped deck carrier which helped using the Harriers. A lot of money was spent but I can't see that it was spent well. If you have an air shield around your carrier you want it out there 200 miles or more today. Now everyone needs the F-35 which in the naval version it also has vertical lift from the deck, but it too is limited by weight and is armed for air to air combat not air to ground. The F-18s and other Air Force planes that are old but still kept in great shape for air to ground. In the late 60s the B-52s were modified to carry bombs externally on their skin for bombing Vietnam. They still had the internal loads as well, they were so heavy they couldn't take off with full fuel load and were fueled with a light load just enough to get them to the air refuel tankers waiting for them, then after refueling they were off to target. The loads and stress was so great on the air frames the skin actually rippled and degraded. All that survived the war were totally rebuilt and repaired, several times over due to new modifications. I liked that Harrier too, it was the first design to use the skinning techniques of gluing layers of carbon fiber to form. It was light and strong but very costly manufacturing. Our rotors on our helicopters were made of an aluminum skin over a honeycomb internal body, it used a solid leading edge or spar. Lots of magnesium and without all that it would have been too heavy. The first main rotors used in the choppers made famous in that movie with Mickey Rooney Bridges at Toko Ri, they were made from wood ;0)
That was a silly attempt by the gubmint to dispel the entire ufo subject. The craft could barely hold itself off the ground with fan driven air keeping it up. That it was round was a show. It could have been any shape. The crafts seen in many videos since move in such a way as to violate our presently known (guessed) laws of physics. They use some kind of direct force on the substructure of space and seem to be ignoring the laws of inertia. This is definitely not from fans or even jets. The round shape seems congruent with strong electromagnetic or gravitic rotating fields emanating from a center. I've come to no hard and fast conclusions about the phenomena - whether it's real or some huge hoax.
On May 21, 2022, Story TV aired an all day documentary on UFOs from Roswell to the current time with in-depth interviews with high ranking scientists, military officers, and engineers who have first hand knowledge of the subject, all claiming the government has reverse engineered some of the UFOs that have crashed in the U.S.and naming the technology gleaned from them, The research is all done under the control of the military and is classified top secret. Elected officials like Congressmen and Presidents are not routinely informed of what’s going on.
I thought everyone knew about Sun Spots. https://eartheclipse.com/geography/sunspot-and-its-formation.html
I think you mean UFO Sightings Daily. I did not find the article "UFO Fills Up At The Sun, Complains About Road Tax." But I did find Groundhog Found On Mars In NASA Rover Photo! Proof Of Living Animals On Mars Now! Nov 2016, UFO Sighting News. NASA is considering scrapping studies into colonizing Mars and growing our own food. Discovery of deer there will pretty much seal the deal.
They DO walk among us!!!! I trapped one of them aliens from under the deck at the farm. Should I send it to NASA?
I didn't tell NASA about mine. I got out my Beverly Hillbillies Crock Pot Cookbook. Let NASA git their own critter.
