Re: "Behind The Green Door"
This is also a refrence to the color of a SCIFs door, a SCIF being where classified SIGINT or sattelite photos are analyzed. It's a hardened room - sometimes offered as a shipping container - thats able to withstand 50 caliber rounds and blocks all cellphone and other signals trying to enter it. IT has special fiber run to it that hooks into classified computer networks such as JWICS, SIPRnet, NIPRnet, NSAnet and the DIAs own private network. It's not uncommon for an analyist to have 6 terminals in front of him hooked into these various network as well as a regular internet computer.

24:30 That aircraft shape is exactly like T.Townsend Brown's work

Thanks for this!

The U2 was missing in his presentation which accounts for some of the high altitude patches aka "Dragon lady"

I like patches

[@PaulHenning84]

Me too!

Patches were a replacement for actual spoils of war. Meant to reward the most gullible and easy to please slaves.

[@Rachel-Pham]

patches by Clarence Carter is a great song

Why are Dragons always used in SIGINT references? _Other than the devil being in the details_ Is it just something that stuck to it or is there a deeper meaning to this connection?

[@Nobody-dc8dp]

It's a cryptid hunting unit. A unit that hunts monsters.

the gold foil and solar panels make the satellites look like they have wings, hence a dragon

Good video

At 23:44 I don't think the aircraft silhouette on the left is a F-117A/nighthawk the shape is different. Could this aircraft be instead be the black triangle UFOs people see and are mentioned in the UAP/UFO topic? Don't even get me started on the silhouette on the top. That is such an odd shape for an aircraft. Also, the five stars on the left and the one on the right could mean Area 51?

[@burnerr]

used to think the same until it was mentioned that the cameras use triangle shaped apertures.
that would give out of focus lights or bright objects their triangle shape. you can actually buy heart shaped apertures for cameras and the effect would give you a heart shaped element.
still believe there’s something out there but those surveillance clips of flying pyramids could easily just be something fast but just not shaped like a triangle/pyramid

[@lostpopcorns]

the TR-3B triangle craft is afaIk fully triangle shaped and doesn't have the shaped backend like the craft on the coin. if they're related at all I'd guess the 1966 craft might be an earlier version or prototype of the TR-3B

Everybody seem to miss the point of these ads, as he puts it. They're a simple military tactic: regrouping. They're breadcrumbs. Should something hit the fan these myriad of signatures in every possible form and media lead the actors to each other again. Even millennia later. Now that you know you must jump out the window.

Area 51, Alien Spacecraft = Illegal Aliens who are Soviet and their Aircraft lmaoooooo

[@PaulHenning84]

You should hear Tim Pool pronounce Nike.

I find it brilliantly fitting. Just like the g-nomes of Zurich.

My 10th grade English teacher said this on a spelling test along with dozens of other gaffes. Many of the students in that class requested transfers including myself. The school eventually said that if they honored all the transfer requests, there would be no students in Ms. Jackson’s class. I ended up skipping the class and taking it over later with another class. “Diversity” hire
