When I moved to my current location, a gentlemen's property includes a flagpole. Flying on it was the Ensign (on top) and the Dept of the Boat people flag below. I finally got a chance to talk to him and to my surprise, found out he's retired ARMY. The deal with the Navy flag was between him and his kid, who was Navy: "Who wins that year, gets to fly their flag". So, for this last year, I've drove past seeing the Army whites... and after hearing the game results, I smiled as I noted this morning, the flag change. I'm pretty sure the fact that it was UPSIDE DOWN is just the Dad saying "That game was bullshit"...
A friend of mine had to face the ultimate insult. He was an exchange instructor at Annapolis when Navy beat Army. So the bet was that for one day he had to wear the uniform of a Seaman Recruit. If Navy had lost, the Navy instructor at West Point would have been wearing a Private's outfit. Current standing is 63 Navy, 55 Army, 7 ties.

NJ resident here, we've been seeing the drones almost every night. The ones I've personally seen are big quadcopters, a little smaller than a car. A drone that big is too expensive to be a hobbyist drone, so they have to be from a government or corporation. They only seem to fly at night. The ones I've seen all have white anti-collision lights and the red and green navigation lights seen on other aircraft. The drones typically fly at a lower altitude than other air traffic. The ones I've seen have only been about 200 ft. off the ground. When they stop to hover, it seems to be mostly over open spaces (parks, lakes, parking lots, etc.) Sometimes they fly alone, sometimes in small groups. I think they're some sort of experimental US military drones, possibly for transport (based on their size). I'd assume a foreign spy drone would be small and inconspicuous, and not lit up like a Christmas tree. Whoever's operating the drones doesn't care that you know they're flying, but they don't want anybody to get a good look at them in broad daylight.
Now I wanna see someone make a giant military-grade pogo stick, strap it to front landing gear of the F-22, and watch the front end happily bounce up and down. It would be truly magical.

@AlexWalford-jm3mg No, it's been a thing for decades. My father was a Base Commander. You know how they track Santa on the big board at NORAD ? Well, whenever possible, a fighter escort is assigned. It's good training. So one year, my father said he was having fun, he assigned a flight of F-15s to escort Santa over Afghanistan. At one point, the Syrian Air Force noticed, and sent up an interception. When the Syrians got close, my father called the Syrian embassy and told them to inform their government that they were encroaching on the flight path of a foreign dignitary, ally of the USA, and NATO member. The Syrians thought he was nuts... But they pulled their fighters back.
@@patrickkenyon2326 nice. also looking at the mess out there, the big guy is going to need an escort over a lot of countries this year. if we send the kid up he might actually get an interception after all
it's not iran because they don't have the tech or the reach. they're too busy getting thier shit pushed in by Israel's dumbed down for export F35’s to be dicking around in the 5-6ghz spectrum on the other side of the world. my theory is either hobbyists out of thier depth or russian sleeper agents slapping drone kits on kites to manufacture hysteria - assymetric maskyrovka would fit very nicely here. everything else - that is, everything with faa compliant red and green lights is just "normal for New Jersey", where everything is unidentified if you don't know diddly about squat
Probably testing out some new classified radar tech or stealth drone tech would be my guess. They want visual confirmation of their location that they can cross reference with the radar readouts.
Absolutely love the explanation of "the rocket problem" with the entire hypersonic section. If you explained this like this in basic physics, nobody would have difficulty understanding general relativity, especially the whole speed of light thing and as you approach really high speeds you need infinite energy, which in turn just creates more and more mass. Bravo! 👏👏👏
I mean, they could at least let him fly escort for Santa. NORAD tracks that yearly. You know, to avoid a false positive for north American air defenses making a real mess.
Dark Brandon went full metal jacket and let DARPA off the leash... they were allowed 1 CONUS exercise for X-mas and they choose Jersey. They just wanted to see the Jersey Coast go ape-isht! 🤣🤣
Nah, Dark Brandon isn't that lucid. More likely its the military having fun without his input, some jackass at NORAD probably thought "Hey, you know what would really freak people out, a bunch of drones that only appear at night. Hey, that's an idea, let's send a bunch of car sized drones over Jersey and NY just to fuck with people, then we have a good laugh at their reactions!"
I live in the lower hudson region in NY and we also had drones here that were dropping lit fireworks in the local park, from what I've read 2 people were arrested
I’m from New Jersey and it’s worrying when our governor says we don’t know who’s controlling the drones, if they are unarmed but somehow we are perfectly safe and not in any danger. A drone crashed and fbi took it away saying nothing happened.
Bruh I wouldn't worry. I bet they know who it is and where it's coming from. I think we are letting them play the game, so if they fuck around, we can make them find the fuck out
The three letter agency will let us know when they can't hide it anymore. In the meantime, they're probably developing doctrines and protocols. I'm guessing anti-drone defense or stealth attacks. Maybe both.
Actually what they're talking about is just quantum mechanics and has been ongoing for at least 15 years in terms of testing and they're attempting to basically use this innovation to enhance a diverse range of optical systems from imaging, navigation, signal processing, microscopy, communications and quantum computing.

@@halogeek6 Light is quite an interesting topic and its an area that we still do not fully understand, especially when you bring quantum mechanics on board the same way gravity and time also run into issues. Consequently far as we know, all matter is governed by light, concentrated light vectors are the basis of quantum mechanics. Ahem, "light vectors" refer to the mathematical representation of a photon's polarization state, typically expressed as a vector containing the amplitudes of its horizontal and vertical polarization components, often called a "Jones vector," which captures the direction and magnitude of the electric field within the light wave, effectively describing the polarization of a single photon as a quantum state; this allows for calculations regarding how light interacts with matter at the quantum level. From Darpa, However, the particle nature of light results in a fundamental quantum noise limit that bounds the performance of laser-based optical systems. The Intensity-Squeezed Photonic Integration for Revolutionary Detectors (INSPIRED) program seeks to break this limit using quantum integrated photonics. INSPIRED is leveraging a quantum state of light known as “squeezed light”. Sophisticated experiments over the past fifteen years have demonstrated that employing squeezed light in the measurement of weak signals can exceed the quantum noise limit. Tabletop squeezed light systems have been used for demonstrations of quantum-enhanced optical sensing - most famously by the gravitational-wave astronomy community to detect cosmic events such as black hole and neutron star mergers from further in space. The same time period has also witnessed a revolution in integrated photonics: the manipulation of light with microscopic devices on chips. With recent progress in nonlinear integrated photonics, large-scale photonic circuits, and photonic heterogeneous integration, chip-scale optical devices are beginning to outperform bulk, discrete optical components. The INSPIRED program is pursuing these advances to implement squeezed-light measurement techniques in form factors comparable to commercial photodetector modules. Such “squeezed-light detectors” will be transformative in advancing ultra-sensitive measurements beyond laboratory environments as practical, general-purpose components that can enhance the performance of diverse optical systems for imaging, navigation, signal processing, microscopy, communications, and quantum computing. "Squeezing light" refers to a quantum mechanical phenomenon where the uncertainty of a light beam is reduced in one aspect (like its amplitude or phase) at the expense of increased uncertainty in the other, essentially creating a light state with quantum fluctuations below the normal vacuum level, allowing for more precise measurements in certain applications like gravitational wave detection.
The Kid wanting to use a pogo stick was not on my bingo card 😂😂😂 Thanks for your coverage on this HLC, you're better than all the commercial news outlets by far!
Still might be iran, the drones are using FAA lights or you wouldn't see them. And reports are that they are sniffing for radioactive material or a dirty bomb.
It's sort of true, the US in terms of all R&D is many leagues and years ahead but a lot of this information isn't new and has been part of science which is quite collective for decades, or well squeezed light is roughly 15 or so years old in terms of testing. It likely existed around the time quantum mechanics was conceptualized. As such because science is quite collective it matters little who develops or finds something first, be it europe, the US or Asia as its often something retested and so forth by many scientists and schools globally, as such DARPA has found likely a way to implement it into technology.
I mean, Magitech is literally defined by 'we understand all but X part of it.' or in other words, blackbox components/processes. Which is pretty much bleeding edge tech defined with the USA.

When he said "squeezing light," I immediately thought of "optical tweezers," which are basically a real-life tractor beam. Light travels in waves, up and down, crests (peaks) and troughs (valleys). The distance between the crest and the trough of a beam of light is called its amplitude. Now, _if I recall correctly,_ all you need to make a tractor beam is generate a beam of light with an amplitude equal to the length/height of whatever you want to grab. Scientists have used them quite effectively with bacteria.

One of Shakespeare's insults is "you base foot-ball player" [Lear I.iv]. Ball-kicking games date back to the Roman legions, at least, but the sport seems first to have risen to a national obsession in England, c. 1630. Figurative sense of "something idly kicked around, something subject to hard use and many vicissitudes" is by 1530s. soccer (n.) 1889, socca, later socker (1891), soccer (1895), originally university slang (with jocular formation -er (3)), from a shortened form of Assoc., abbreviation of association in Football Association (as distinguished from Rugby football).

The Kid may get to eat some drones.
You’re thinking of that new Red One movie, aren’t you, you know, the scene where Santa takes off from an Air Force Base?
@AlexWalford-jm3mg No, it's been a thing for decades.
My father was a Base Commander.
You know how they track Santa on the big board at NORAD ?
Well, whenever possible, a fighter escort is assigned.
It's good training.
So one year, my father said he was having fun, he assigned a flight of F-15s to escort Santa over Afghanistan.
At one point, the Syrian Air Force noticed, and sent up an interception.
When the Syrians got close, my father called the Syrian embassy and told them to inform their government that they were encroaching on the flight path of a foreign dignitary, ally of the USA, and NATO member.
The Syrians thought he was nuts...
But they pulled their fighters back.
@@patrickkenyon2326 nice. also looking at the mess out there, the big guy is going to need an escort over a lot of countries this year. if we send the kid up he might actually get an interception after all
"They talk from someone who's within 72 hours of becoming the 51st state if I want"
That made me laugh so hard
“It’s obviously Santa Clause doing some reconnaissance” 😂and probably planes, trains and automobiles
Throw in some flying monkeys from Oz also.
It had me laughing so hard i threw up. "Its a bird! its a plain! Its Santa using his radar to scan for bad kids and how to aim his rockets at them"

The monkey's paw curls and another spy balloon comes floating over.
5:25 That goes incredibly hard. Hahahahah. Bibically accurate insult. Lets go! Lol
my vote's definitely not Iran, as why would they use FAA compliant lighting on their drones? Probably a US program
I’m thinking the cartels but then I’m probably wrong.
@@elizabethedgerton4218
They are using drones, but prefer the smaller and harder to see variety.
@@elizabethedgerton4218 Same question applies, why have navigation lights on your super-sneaky drone?
it's not iran because they don't have the tech or the reach. they're too busy getting thier shit pushed in by Israel's dumbed down for export F35’s to be dicking around in the 5-6ghz spectrum on the other side of the world. my theory is either hobbyists out of thier depth or russian sleeper agents slapping drone kits on kites to manufacture hysteria - assymetric maskyrovka would fit very nicely here. everything else - that is, everything with faa compliant red and green lights is just "normal for New Jersey", where everything is unidentified if you don't know diddly about squat
Probably testing out some new classified radar tech or stealth drone tech would be my guess. They want visual confirmation of their location that they can cross reference with the radar readouts.
Absolutely love the explanation of "the rocket problem" with the entire hypersonic section. If you explained this like this in basic physics, nobody would have difficulty understanding general relativity, especially the whole speed of light thing and as you approach really high speeds you need infinite energy, which in turn just creates more and more mass. Bravo! 👏👏👏
I love how Iran is starting to take Grandpa buffs insults personally!!
"What are you doing today?"
Loved that eye squint. XD
Did not have aliens making a guest appearance on my checklist.
8:40 we came for Buff and the Kid but stay for the “Missile-tism” Appreciate the information.
Am I the only one that hopes Raptor get his interception for Christmas?!
Sing along to the tune of "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas"...
I mean, they could at least let him fly escort for Santa. NORAD tracks that yearly. You know, to avoid a false positive for north American air defenses making a real mess.
@@Sorain1 This!!!
The admission by Grandpa Buff about the F-4, made me spit water all over my computer monitor! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mr HLC, I love this. Also, Europe called it soccer until after American football existed. So technically, American football is the real Football.
Dark Brandon went full metal jacket and let DARPA off the leash... they were allowed 1 CONUS exercise for X-mas and they choose Jersey. They just wanted to see the Jersey Coast go ape-isht! 🤣🤣
Nah, Dark Brandon isn't that lucid. More likely its the military having fun without his input, some jackass at NORAD probably thought "Hey, you know what would really freak people out, a bunch of drones that only appear at night. Hey, that's an idea, let's send a bunch of car sized drones over Jersey and NY just to fuck with people, then we have a good laugh at their reactions!"
Ive caught 2 theories that make sense:
1. Navy UA experiments out of NAS Lakehurst
2. McDonalds delivery drones headed to Chris Christies house
Congratulations! You got this information from a meme and a post from an engineer who gave an explanation.
The Chris Christie theory is the most logical.
I live in the lower hudson region in NY and we also had drones here that were dropping lit fireworks in the local park, from what I've read 2 people were arrested
I’m from New Jersey and it’s worrying when our governor says we don’t know who’s controlling the drones, if they are unarmed but somehow we are perfectly safe and not in any danger. A drone crashed and fbi took it away saying nothing happened.
Bruh I wouldn't worry. I bet they know who it is and where it's coming from. I think we are letting them play the game, so if they fuck around, we can make them find the fuck out
The three letter agency will let us know when they can't hide it anymore. In the meantime, they're probably developing doctrines and protocols. I'm guessing anti-drone defense or stealth attacks. Maybe both.
It is a little weird how a government that won't think twice about civil asset forfeiture can't seem to lift a finger about some drones.
Two words, Picatinny Arsenal.
@ no chance. It’s a munitions place
They're sniffers...they are either looking FOR something...or training to DEAL with something.
DARPA be putting light in the hydraulic press
I’m convinced now DARPA is a bunch of Florida men on the good stuff with physics degrees
Actually what they're talking about is just quantum mechanics and has been ongoing for at least 15 years in terms of testing and they're attempting to basically use this innovation to enhance a diverse range of optical systems from imaging, navigation, signal processing, microscopy, communications and quantum computing.
You know every time the U.S. talks its enemies get headaches and massive holes in their defenses and military budgets and I ef-in love it!!🤔👍🇺🇸😎
It's the government. Everyone knows it's the government.

@@halogeek6 Light is quite an interesting topic and its an area that we still do not fully understand, especially when you bring quantum mechanics on board the same way gravity and time also run into issues.
Consequently far as we know, all matter is governed by light, concentrated light vectors are the basis of quantum mechanics.
Ahem, "light vectors" refer to the mathematical representation of a photon's polarization state, typically expressed as a vector containing the amplitudes of its horizontal and vertical polarization components, often called a "Jones vector," which captures the direction and magnitude of the electric field within the light wave, effectively describing the polarization of a single photon as a quantum state; this allows for calculations regarding how light interacts with matter at the quantum level.
From Darpa, However, the particle nature of light results in a fundamental quantum noise limit that bounds the performance of laser-based optical systems. The Intensity-Squeezed Photonic Integration for Revolutionary Detectors (INSPIRED) program seeks to break this limit using quantum integrated photonics.
INSPIRED is leveraging a quantum state of light known as “squeezed light”. Sophisticated experiments over the past fifteen years have demonstrated that employing squeezed light in the measurement of weak signals can exceed the quantum noise limit. Tabletop squeezed light systems have been used for demonstrations of quantum-enhanced optical sensing - most famously by the gravitational-wave astronomy community to detect cosmic events such as black hole and neutron star mergers from further in space.
The same time period has also witnessed a revolution in integrated photonics: the manipulation of light with microscopic devices on chips. With recent progress in nonlinear integrated photonics, large-scale photonic circuits, and photonic heterogeneous integration, chip-scale optical devices are beginning to outperform bulk, discrete optical components.
The INSPIRED program is pursuing these advances to implement squeezed-light measurement techniques in form factors comparable to commercial photodetector modules.
Such “squeezed-light detectors” will be transformative in advancing ultra-sensitive measurements beyond laboratory environments as practical, general-purpose components that can enhance the performance of diverse optical systems for imaging, navigation, signal processing, microscopy, communications, and quantum computing.
"Squeezing light" refers to a quantum mechanical phenomenon where the uncertainty of a light beam is reduced in one aspect (like its amplitude or phase) at the expense of increased uncertainty in the other, essentially creating a light state with quantum fluctuations below the normal vacuum level, allowing for more precise measurements in certain applications like gravitational wave detection.

Thanks for your coverage on this HLC, you're better than all the commercial news outlets by far!
Still might be iran, the drones are using FAA lights or you wouldn't see them. And reports are that they are sniffing for radioactive material or a dirty bomb.
In my husband's memory "GO NAVY!"
Why did I burst out laughing at “what color pogo stick”
Hot damn! This episode is AMAZING!
But the kid, bless his little deranged heart, you just want to give him a hug before sending him out to play.
You make the US sound like we’re developing magitech while everyone else is playing with sticks and stones. Love it lol
It's sort of true, the US in terms of all R&D is many leagues and years ahead but a lot of this information isn't new and has been part of science which is quite collective for decades, or well squeezed light is roughly 15 or so years old in terms of testing. It likely existed around the time quantum mechanics was conceptualized.
As such because science is quite collective it matters little who develops or finds something first, be it europe, the US or Asia as its often something retested and so forth by many scientists and schools globally, as such DARPA has found likely a way to implement it into technology.
We are…
I mean, Magitech is literally defined by 'we understand all but X part of it.' or in other words, blackbox components/processes. Which is pretty much bleeding edge tech defined with the USA.
Dude!!! Little Asian Florida!!! That's fookin GOLD!!
Damn...Army coping hard with that blowout of a game 😂
"I was busy squeezing light"..... my brain shattered with those 5 simple words.

When he said "squeezing light," I immediately thought of "optical tweezers," which are basically a real-life tractor beam.
Light travels in waves, up and down, crests (peaks) and troughs (valleys). The distance between the crest and the trough of a beam of light is called its amplitude.
Now, _if I recall correctly,_ all you need to make a tractor beam is generate a beam of light with an amplitude equal to the length/height of whatever you want to grab. Scientists have used them quite effectively with bacteria.

Football was actually a slang term used to describe soccer that ended up sticking
Coined by the British of all people
football (n.)
open-air game involving kicking a ball, c. 1400; in reference to the inflated ball used in the game, mid-14c. ("Þe heued fro þe body went, Als it were a foteballe," Octavian I manuscript, c. 1350), from foot (n.) + ball (n.1). Forbidden in a Scottish statute of 1424. One of Shakespeare's insults is "you base foot-ball player" [Lear I.iv]. Ball-kicking games date back to the Roman legions, at least, but the sport seems first to have risen to a national obsession in England, c. 1630. Figurative sense of "something idly kicked around, something subject to hard use and many vicissitudes" is by 1530s.
soccer (n.)
1889, socca, later socker (1891), soccer (1895), originally university slang (with jocular formation -er (3)), from a shortened form of Assoc., abbreviation of association in Football Association (as distinguished from Rugby football). An unusual formation, but those who did it perhaps shied away from making a name out of the first three letters of Assoc. Compare rugger (under rugby) also 1890s English schoolboy slang leccer, from lecture (n.).
F-22 getting an interception. He tangos with Santa. Big Red One just flying circles around him. Giving the Kid the time of his life. He may not ever shoot down Santa, out of sheer respect. But, he got an intercepts and came home, all to brag about it. Little do we know. In reality. It was Grandpa Buff making the Kid's dream come true and give him the BEST Christmas gift ever.
