1st project with Grok 4 was to help my army buddies find the best Veteran Service Organizations in their area to assist with their VA claims unsing multiple LLMs to gather data and have Grok 4 find the best VSO to help them with thier disabilty Claims. This is bettering lives.

I'll post the generalized search and consolidation quearies below. @xai @DeptVetAffairs #VeteransDeserveBetter #Veterans

Those six orbs? 100% Starlink launch. And also 100% mylar balloons and also 100% parallax...

@OMApproach No idea what they are, but I've seen one in 2024, and another in 2025. They were short sightings- but zero doubt they were there and were displaying impossible flight dynamics for conventional aircraft.

Does anyone remember this amazing story? On July 2, 1982, a truck driver from California flew 16,000 feet into the sky in a lawn chair. Larry Walters, 33, from San Pedro, had dreamed of flying his whole life. He bought 42 eight-foot helium weather balloons, tied them to a regular Sears lawn chair, strapped on a parachute, packed a BB gun to pop balloons to descend, a CB radio, sandwiches, and a six-pack of beer.
He expected to float a few hundred feet above his backyard. He cut the rope and shot up like a rocket — to 16,000 feet. He drifted directly into the main approach path for LAX. Two airline pilots radioed the tower: they had just passed a man in a lawn chair holding a gun at 16,000 feet. For 45 minutes, he floated over Los Angeles, freezing cold, too scared to shoot balloons because he might fall. Finally, he started popping balloons one by one and slowly descended.
He landed tangled in power lines in Long Beach, California, causing a blackout. When police arrested him, they asked why he did it. He said, "A man can't just sit around." The FAA fined him $4,000. He became a national folk hero — Lawnchair Larry — and inspired the movie Up.

🛸 5th PURSUE FILES DROP: 1950s U.S. Naval Intelligence Assessment on UAPs Captured on Film

This file contains a memorandum relating to the U.S. Naval Photographic Interpretation Center’s assessment of two films allegedly depicting unidentified airborne objects, captured in Montana and Utah in 1950 and 1952, respectively.

The Center assessed, generally, that the objects depicted in the film demonstrated characteristics that were inconsistent with those of natural phenomena or commonly known aerospace technologies.

“It appears as if the objects are of a nature which we are not able to identify in terms of natural phenomena or commonly known man-made objects.”

The complete memorandum can be viewed now on https://t.co/eVsTscv8Kh.

@GeorgeRoush Battleships? There hasn't been a battleship built since the 40s. Kinda destroys your statements if you don't know that blindingly obvious piece of history.

"I was talking about UFOs at work so they assumed I was part of the project and read me in" makes everything this guy says either lies to boost the ego of a homeless college grad who got a 95 on the ASVAB (that's really not great) or disinformation. Don't watch.

[Tom Thompson🛸 (ＣＯＲＴＥＸ ＺＥＲＯ) @Cortex_Zero]

One of the most extraordinary hypotheses raised by Dylan Borland has received almost no attention from his interview with @AlchemyAmerican.

"We have craft that were not made by humanity at the time we recovered them." - @TheDylanBorland

Read that statement carefully.

While discussing recovered craft that he says were not made by humanity at the time they were obtained, the conversation turned toward their possible origin:

“Future, past. We talked about the hypothesis of a human soul and us going to another planet, and we’re watching ourselves.”

Later, Borland expanded upon the idea.

If a sufficiently advanced civilization possesses AI, robotics and the ability to engineer biological bodies, it may no longer require humanity in its present physical form. Embodied existence could instead function as a testing environment, one designed to reveal who we truly are at the level of the soul.

When the body dies, the character formed here may determine where that consciousness is placed next.

Reincarnation would not necessarily return us to another human life on Earth. Consciousness could continue elsewhere, on another world, within another form or as part of a civilization vastly beyond our own.

And the intelligences returning here to observe humanity?

They may be us.

Human consciousness from elsewhere in the system, looking back across worlds, or perhaps across time, watching its earlier incarnation unfold. #ufox #ufotwitter

🚨🇺🇸 The Pentagon just dumped 41 more UFO files, its fifth release in a matter of months...

The batch pulls from the Pentagon, FBI, CIA, State Department, and even the Executive Office of the President, with records going all the way back to 1950.

That's 76 years of material coming out in waves after decades of the government insisting there was "nothing to see here."

Loving the transparency, now let's see some aliens... 👽

Thet is why they are releasing them like they are- it's to let people form their own opinions. I think people should do less arguing, and just approach the evidence (all of it- not just the grainy videos) with an open mind and come to their conclusions.

[Dr. Eli David @DrEliDavid]

Every "UFO video" is grainy for a reason: the moment the footage is clear, the mystery vanishes and it's obviously just a drone, balloon, or plane.

​Statistically, I believe life exists outside Earth. I just don't believe any of these videos show it.

[f/8 and be there @expedition_37]

@DrEliDavid Yeah, I'm sure no one in the government has "check to see if it's a balloon" on their investigation checklist. Thank God we have people on X to let them know they should start checking for that.

[Dr. Phil @DrPhil]

Our government has known for 79 years.

And they told us nothing.
Objects moving in ways nothing we build can...

Circling the one place on Earth we'd never want them.

This should bother you.

This stuff is coming from ISR and weapons systems- it is totally consistent with what you would expect from those platforms. "Crap" just means that most people don't understand how those platforms work. No one is strapping an IMAX camera to an FA-18.

[Mick West @MickWest]

Ufologists are invariably disappointed with government releases of UFO files.

It's what they asked for, but not what they expected. They always think that the government is hiding the truth about aliens, and that there's some amazing secret evidence.

But what if there isn't?

[Eric Weinstein @ericweinstein]

The Feds didn’t just tell us that.

They implied that everyone claiming that there was something huge going on was stupid, manipulative, crazy, greedy, lying and/or faking.

It’s the active willful destruction of American dissenters by our own government that cannot be forgiven.
