These pictures were supposedly taken somewhere between Iceland and Jan Mayen in March 1971 trough the periscope of the american military submarine USS Trepang, classification number SSN 674, which, at the time was on a routine military and scientific (whatever that means in a military context) mission. The man on the periscope was called John Kilika, he was the first to spot them, although the man actually taking the pictures is unknown. They were made available to the public by researcher Alex Mistretta, who in turn got them from an anonymous european source. The source claimed that there were the following notes on the back of one of the pictures: “Official photograph. Not to be released. CT.” and “Unauthorized Disclosure Subject. Security Certificate SSN 674. Criminal Sanction.”
I am not making any statements about what these things could be.
The fact our species evolved as it did is an astronomical anomaly in a universe filled with possibility.
We're it. There isn't any one else. Stop making shit up. Stop pretending there is anything but our birth, our lives and death.
I mean, OP. I fucking mean it.
Xavier Torres
OP here, OK anons have at it. What the fuck!
Henry Morgan
Any conspirators fags wanna take a shot at these?
Also can any shoopfags confirm not CGI or something?
Never heard of these before, but I am interest
Tyler Anderson
winrar
Aiden Perry
You are incredibly stupid
Henry Stewart
These look nothing like that
Eli Evans
you shut the fuck up science is on my side
fuck you and your fantasies you're no better than christians or muslims
Asher Barnes
I dunno, looks like a cruise missile-type thing to me. The germans used those in the 1940s (the V1), so I wouldn't be surprised if they were around in 1971. Maybe it was cruising way too low.
Carson Wood
Looks like a low altitude barrage balloon of some kind.
Mason Williams
I might agree, mirages happen on a narrow area above a horizon. And they look heavily distorted and blurred, these look pretty sharp and have detail.
Don't know what to feel.
Evan Wright
Say's you
Adrian Hernandez
The first image does faggot the rest is you throwing turds in your mom's above ground pool.
Hunter Butler
>we're the only ones ever >universe full of possibility
Is this bait? This feels like bait.
Thomas Campbell
the ones that are obviously fake do not. 1st and 2nd in this thread do
Aaron Cook
Science has the Drake equation....
>trying to sound smart but failing (You)
Nicholas Stewart
The possibilities were limited, faggot. lrn2comprehension man evolved that's it one species in an entire universe
Cooper Sullivan
OP here, never heard of that. I knew the hive mind of Sup Forums would come up with an explanation
Kayden Ramirez
>mathematics
you can "prove" that an object never hits a table, either, faggot
There's nothing out there, and even if there were, it couldn't reach us.
Elijah Myers
wow are you god?....cos you sure have all the answers >stop everything boys, we got professor universe here
Jordan Evans
The fact that we exist is a near impossibility. We are literally the only example in the universe.
Carter Bennett
science isnt on your side lol read a book
Logan Gonzalez
goddammit fuck you this thread is OVER
Landon Perry
Okay... So I win with the cruise missile thing?
Austin Davis
>literally prove it
Michael Harris
you know like every scientist are saying that it is impossible to think of that we are alone. but you definitely know it better
not agreeing with you but ive always wondered if the universe was empty, and it was ours to explore and populate
Nolan Ortiz
wow!! pics of the Flying Benis!
Luis Robinson
I personally don't trust anything from Forbes, but that's just me
Evan Kelly

The step of abiogenesis -- where the raw ingredients associated with organic processes actually become what we recognize as "life" -- needs to occur. Life must survive and thrive for billions of years on a planet in order to evolve multicellularity, complexity, differentiation and what we call "intelligence." And finally, that intelligent life must then become a technological civilization, either gaining the ability to announce its presence to the Universe, to reach out beyond its home and explore the Universe, or to reach the stage where it can listen for other forms of intelligence in the Universe. Or, more optimistically, all three.
When Carl Sagan originally presented Cosmos in 1980, he claimed it was reasonable to give each of these three steps a 10% chance of succeeding.
Anthony Roberts
Are you serious or trolling? I can't tell.
Hudson Wilson
>literally my lord youre young
Nolan Collins
We've barely made it off this planet, and we're about to destroy ourselves through misuse of technology.
We won't be exploring shit.
Leo Sanchez
I don't give a fuck what you "trust," read the fucking information.
Owen Russell
If you won't read, I won't read
Jose Roberts
an ARTICLE doesnt prove anything. its just someones theory. you can not prove that aliens dont exist. there is a chance they exist somewhere thou. so they probably do exist, because you dont even realize how big the universe is.
Jack Rivera
God you're fucking butt hurt, how the fuck did you get this way?
No wonder you're gonna die alone with that fucking attitude
Ryder Sanders
refute the argument faggot
"The underlying problem is complexity. Even the simplest bacterium is, at the molecular level, staggeringly complex. Although we have no idea of the minimal complexity of a living organism, it is likely to be very high. It could be that some sort of complexifying principle operates in nature, serving to drive a chaotic mix of chemicals on a fast track to a primitive microbe. If so, no hint of such a principle has been found in laboratory experiments to re-create the basic building blocks of life."
Jeremiah Gutierrez
just too bad that the marsrover shows bones and current lifeforms but nevermind
Hunter Russell
I have read things. That's how I grew the fuck up and stopped believing the universe is full of spacefaring aliens.
It isn't.
Eli Williams
The abscence of evidence is not evidence of abscence.
The universe is too damn big to know for sure, and it is incredibly arrogant and naive to believe we are all there is.
Camden Gonzalez
JESUS CHRIST REFUTE THE GODDAMMED ARGUMENT OR SHUT THE FUCK UP FAGGOT
Hunter Moore
No it doesn't you conspiracy faggot go melt a steel beam and shove it up your ass
Nolan Butler
>I have read Richard Dawkins
Doesn't count, edgelord
Justin Price
Shut the fuck up. There is no evidence that anyone other than us exist. We've examined space noise, redshifts, everything. There's just too much consistency. We. Are. Alone.
Parker Nelson
>no it doesn't >insulting
that is how you lose in a debate faggot
Adrian Lewis
You believe the skygod shit, that's part of your problem.
Jeremiah Bailey
maybe isnt proof you retard
Ryder Cox
THAT IS THE FUCKING PROOF. SHUT THE FUCK UP.
William Garcia
of course hes trolling lol
Brody Hill
Not even a theory. Just a hypothesis.
Evan Scott
>debating on Sup Forums you both "lost" here, faggots.
Evan Green
So we are stuck. Life may indeed pop up readily in Earthlike conditions, or it may be a fluke, unique in the observable universe. Because we are a product of this cosmic accident, we cannot conclude that Earth is typical. No statistical evidence can be drawn from a sample of one.
Luis Robinson
They're Naval test balloons. They use them for RADAR tests as well as target practice.
Isaiah Allen
Lol, you fucking niggers are all the same "REFUTE DA ARGAMENT" all you did was post a shitty Forbes article... you do NO WORK, by being expect us to work to refute your simple, uneducated, and unreasonable claim which contained no mathematics, statistics or "science" (which apparently is on your side, though you didn't use any) in the first place. You need to chill and get laid, lvl99 virgin wizard
Jack Parker
Especially if he's OP.
Jaxson Garcia
If you dont know what proof means how am I suppose to trust you about your opinions
Daniel Rogers
>shitty Forbes article
refute the argument dipshit it's SOLID.
Charles Moore
Well, that settles it.
It's over, Sup Forumsuddy/b/ros, pack up and go home.
Christian Mitchell
Refute the arguments made in the link I posted. Your last chance.
Ryan Taylor
so? do you even understand what this says? its completely irrelevant to the topic
Dominic Brooks
Knew boats had penises somewhere
Dylan Lewis
You sound like a really boring individual. Like a dull normie who does fantasy football and wears a name tag at work. You should probably kill yourself.
Jace Phillips
Refute the Drake equation then
Aaron Kelly
It says that it's highly unlikely that an advanced civilization exists outside of Earth, let alone a space faring one. Learn to read faggot.
Robert Green
trips doesnt even save your pathetic argument
Justin Richardson
Those look like zeppdlins toll me
Levi Stewart
You're boring. You expect us to believe that someone throwing shit into the ocean=UFOS.
Luke Richardson
its highly unlikely that we as life exists at all, your point?
Parker Thompson
REFUTE THE FUCKING ARGUMENT DO NOT REPLY TO ME AGAIN UNTIL YOU FUCKING DO
Angel Gray
sounds correct to me.
Jack White
Yes. From all available evidence, we are a fluke that is not likely repeated anywhere else.
Kayden Edwards
giving orders on Sup Forums< Fuck you, I do what I want.
Adam Carter
They are boatcocks. They fuck up into other boats and make little baby boats.
Evan Richardson
I don't necessarily believe that there humanoid life-forms like us, but do you actually believe there is no life anywhere else? No organic, living matter anywhere?
Nicholas Baker
Or what?
You gonna super havk my doxxors? Pathetic child
Jayden Reyes
>capslock
Jace Watson
It's refuted in the FUCKING ARTICLE YOU FUCKING FAGGOT SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCKING HOLY FUCKING GODDAMMED THE SHITFUCK UP FAGGOT
Thomas Peterson
OP theres apparently a video of this too eh
Jaxson Myers
caps doesn't make you any smarter mate are you making up for low self confidence?
Matthew Rivera
not likely *** so you arent certain, thats my point retard haha
Juan Myers
somebody getting a little upset? :(
Carter Sanders
U mad scibro
Josiah Gonzalez
A lot more certain than you are. You're just making shit up. Science is actually on my side.
Gavin Fisher
since when did "maybe" become a source to cite as fact lol?
