Low Observability: A craft's ability to conceal itself from radar.

"You are looking at an object that you should be able to detect very clearly. And yet when you look at it with the naked eye, it's opaque and kind of blurry, and not well-defined, not really sure what I'm looking at. Other times, it looks like it's jamming (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McF9Q1ZlwdA) some of the best radar systems that we have in our inventory."—Luis Elizondo

In this post, we are going to look into this observable and the implications and ramifications, which this observable may be hinting at. If this train-of-thought is correct, then we are witnessing nothing short of extraordinary.

Perhaps Luminosity is Being Used as a Form of Camouflage Which Relies on Mimicry in Order to Hide In Plain Sight

Imagine that you are walking at night and you look up at the night sky and you witness the following light spectacle moving across the horizon:

June 19th, 2016 At around 00:08 AM a series of bright UFOs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgowvg4X1Pw) is observed flying in the vicinity of Popocatépetl Volcano 🌋 in Mexico. Video footage recorded by WebCamsDeMexico.

Perhaps you may say that what you saw, was a flock of birds or a swarm of bugs. Perhaps you would totally dismiss this sighting based on how close you found yourself to these objects. But in actuality, you may have been simply deceived into thinking that at the unconscious level. Perhaps you only saw this from your peripheral vision POV. Exploiting the fact that your brain will automatically dismiss something if it makes an assumption.

You see, the brain works on already existing information to make positive identifications. I don't think that this was either a flock of birds nor a swarm of bugs. I think these were luminous UFOs intentionally moving in synchrony in an organic fashion. Similar to the movements of flying endemic life to Earth.

If you have been paying attention to what Lue Elizondo, Ross Coulthart and others have touched on. You will realize that what we may very well be dealing with here, is a non-human intelligence who is very clever. And very capable of using different types of mimicry to go mostly unnoticed or rather be less conspicuous. The same way, per say, a species of butterfly has evolved for its larvae stage (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1XUSYv7xgPo/maxresdefault.jpg) to look reminiscent of a snake's head (https://images.thequint.com/thequint%2F2021-08%2Fee68d155-d5b8-4d4f-a…), in order to "blend in." For mimicry relies on the intended target to formulate a dismissal by means of a false identification.

4) Low observability, or cloaking

Even when objects are observed, getting a clear and detailed view of them—either through pilot sightings, radar or other means—remains difficult. Witnesses generally only see the glow or haze around them.

Take, for instance, what Ross Coulthart wrote in his book "In Plain Sight (https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkbimages1…;

“There was also a paper by Dr Eric Davis, where he wrote matter-of-factly about how UAPs used mimicry techniques to hide their form, ‘entering the atmosphere with either the look or trajectory of a meteor or hidden within a meteor shower, behaving like dark meteors without the associated optical signature, hiding within an artificial or natural cloud, behaving as pseudo-stars sitting stationary over certain regions, or mimicking man-made aircrafts’ aggregate features’.

In addition, another scientist and his team investigated UAP in the 1970s. This scientist was called Dr. Harley D. Rutledge. And he and his tem made the followign conclusions regarding UAP and mimicry:

"Observation of the unclouded night sky often revealed "pseudostars" - stationary lights camouflaged by familiar constellations. Some objects appeared to mimic the appearance of known aircraft; others violated the laws of physics. The most startling discovery was that on at least 32 recorded occasions, the movement of the lights synchronized with actions of the observers. They appeared to respond to a light being switched on and off, and to verbal or radio messages. The final results of this project were documented in the 1981 book, *Project Identification: The first Scientific Study of UFO Phenomena*.

🤔 Hmmm... What would something like that even look like, I wonder? Let's examine the following:

Video Footage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_tt7J5-c0k) taken in September, 2003 from La Fortuna (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Alajuela+Province,+La+Fortuna,+Cost…), Lake Arenal/Arenal Volcano 🌋 Region, Costa Rica. Video Footage recorded by Nico Pisani.

In addition, Jaime Maussan also has an entire video on his YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53iek1IGDSc&t) claiming to be footage from all over the world of UAP trying to pass as clouds. Anyone of these videos has the potential to be legit and if at least one sole video is true, then that's some impressive mimicry right there.

We can take this even further. In Unidentified Season 1 Finale - "The Revelation (https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7cpcwj)." Look at what Italian scientist and retired military man, Clarbruno Vedruccio (http://www.clarbrunovedruccio.it/eng_convegni.htm), remarks about UFOs:

”In 2004, in Sicily, a craft appeared a few hundred meters behind the copter tail and it shot a ray that destroyed the helicopter wings. The signal was absolutely directional. It was a beam. On a certain band of frequencies. Then we discovered that when they use their energy weapons, they must go outside stealth mode. We could see them on a certain band of frequencies." [...] "You could use the same frequency to provide a radio beacon to call them, to attract them. To show them that we have understood their technology."—Clarbruno Vedruccio

The implication here is that UFOs sometimes use active camouflage and this active camouflage can manifest in different ways. Sometimes they could be completely invisible to the naked eye. Often they appear extremely luminous. Sometimes they appear to have a sort of fuzzy layer which makes the UFOs look blurry. In some instances, this active camouflage is acting as a decoy mimicking the look of natural phenomena while adopting trajectories that mimic organic motion.Intentionally doing this, to maximize keeping the Average Joe from noticing their movements across the atmosphere. As a means to better blend with our environment.

Last, but not least, it appears that in some instances, UFOs have been photographed or videotaped while their cloaking was disengaged and it is in these instances where we can perceive the objects as they truly are in their physical form. I guess what I'm trying to show here is that Flying Saucers, Tic-Tacs, Asian Conical Hat types, or whatever they are and/or look-like. They can all use cloaking to conceal their form by hiding over a layer of light or by making their exterior look fuzzy, and pretending to be a lenticular cloud.

Luis Elizondo Referencing Mimicry and Kevin Day Describing the Movements of Tic-Tac UFOs Over the Pacific Ocean

https://preview.redd.it/tco5rx5daq681.jpg?width=1999&format=pjpg&auto…

Luis Elizondo made reference to Mimicry in the latest AMA hosted by Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal.

Curt: OK, is there any evidence that these, whatever we wanna call them, aliens, creatures, future humans, whatever, let's label them "X." Is there any evidence that these "X" can shapeshift, can look like other humans, or other creatures?

Lue: You know, I don't know. But I'll tell you, mimicry is something that is common in nature. And it's even common in what we do. There are species to defend themselves in the animal kingdom. Let's take a Coral Snake (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AvBLBo_XnC8/UpEgbs5E9oI/AAAAAAAACQ8/PfCR3Z-…) vs. let's say, a King Snake (https://images.saymedia-content.com/.image/t_share/MTc2NDM1MTAwMTc4MT…). The Coral Snake is very deadly. The King Snake has the same colors except for some of the color arrangements that are in the opposite order. And these animals mimic other animals for protection.

Now, let's look at it from a humanistic perspective. We have something that we call "Light Deception" on, for example, Navy ships. In the old days, we would string lights in a way. That would try at night to make a big large destroyer appear to be a fishing boat, a troller. And "Light Deception" is part of camouflage, part of survival. So, if there is a species that is far more advanced than Human Beings. It's not inconceivable."

Kevin Day (https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/06/130004220_10221…) makes an interesting observation on Netflix's UFO Show, when describing the perceived motion of a Tic-Tac UFO Fleet.

"...and I noticed these really odd tracks on the radar. I couldn't really understand it. I had never seen anything like this before. Between five and six tracks, they were tracking real slow from north to south at 28,000 feet going about 100 knots. Which is really strange. Usually things that are high in the sky don't travel that slowly because they'll fall straight out of the sky."

[...]

"And we watched this object on our radar scope, it went from 28,000 feet down to the surface of the ocean in 0.78 seconds, I found out the next day. Less than a second, no sonic booms."

[...]

"There was no time ever when I thought they were hostile, I had the impression that they were acting like a flock of birds. Like if you threw a rock at a flock of birds. They scatter and then rejoin. That's exactly what they did. This is really strange behaviour. And I don't know what these things are."

Source: Top Secret UFO Projects: Declassified (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKqujexw7Ds) - Episode 03 - Code Name Aurora.

TL;DR: One of the (5) Observables used to categorize UFOs is "Low Observability." And the presence of this observable is indicative of cloaking behaviour. This cloaking behaviour may extend to movement and forms of mimicry such as "Light Deception" in order to confuse observers and blend in. The Phenomenon is a cunning trickster.
