I try to stay away from this thread because as a system operator most of yall's conversation is over my head but I did decide to catch up on the last page.
All I can add is about burying transmission lines is you have to deal with Ferranti rise which is a lot worse on buried cables, which is why I've been told we don't do it much. Not much of a big deal on distribution lines but nobody wants the added equipment on the transmission system.
And about line losses - I can tell you live, real time, right now I'm looking at a 32 mile long 345kV line one end is sending 426 mW and the other end is receiving 420 mW. But my 93 mile section of 345 line is actually a couple mW higher on the receiving end but it isn't carrying much load so it's just a big capacitor right now. And I dunno what a substation in the middle would do about line losses? Line loss is line loss and having a bus in the middle wouldn't do fuck all? Maybe they mean it's mitigated from another line coming in? But the loss is still there, just part of doing business, it's accounted for but not considered a big deal.

Some industrious team is going to rig up a modern day "punt gun" to deal with direct-impact drones. Even a semi-auto 10g with a simple tracking ability would help. Then you can buy some time on the more advanced technology that jams their signal and allows you to recover them.
Basically allocate a redneck from Louisiana to every squad

Most of the observations of UAP were made using military technology, which is indisputable, and you don’t just hand that data and evidence over because some people want to hunt for aliens.
In the “disputable but highly possible” camp, many of these observations were of either classified U.S. technology or adversary technology and we don’t want to share what we know about that because of people who need to hunt for aliens.
As with Area 51– the terrestrial explanation of “the U.S. government keeps a lot of military data secret” is more than sufficient.
As far as the UAP themselves, any potential ET explanation begins with the assumption that the observations are:
1. Of some sort of mechanical object
2. That the “physics defying” movements they appear to be making are in fact being made.
Those are two really big assumptions that have not yet moved beyond the assumption stage.
These pilots' stories are fairly well known, they saw the 'tic tac' in person. CDR Fravor testified at the UAP hearing.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-ufo-sighting-60-minutes-2021-05-16/
QuoteDuring their training exercise Fravor and Dietrich, each with a weapons system officer in the back seat of their F/A-18F, say they were diverted to investigate the anomalous object. They say at first they found an area of roiling whitewater the size of a Boeing 737. And then they saw something strange above the water.
"We saw this little white Tic-Tac-looking object… and it's just kind of moving above the whitewater area," Fravor recounted.
"No predictable movement, no predictable trajectory," said Dietrich.
As Dietrich circled above, Fravor went down for a closer look. He said the object was about the size of his F/A-18F, with no markings, no wings, and no exhaust plumes. As soon as Fravor tried to cut off the UAP, it accelerated so quickly that it seemed to disappear, he recalled. Seconds later, the USS Princeton reacquired the UAP on its radar. It was approximately 60 miles away.

If these whistleblowers are right and we do actually have a flying saucer that we've reverse engineered, the biggest uproar won't be from the churches. It will be from the people wanting to know why we're still burning coal and oil. That's the conspiracy theory anyway.

If you don't think the Catholic Church already has a response loaded in the chamber you're kidding yourself.
They already addressed it:
https://catholicreview.org/vatican-astronomer-says-if-aliens-exist-they-may-not-need-redemption/
QuoteMay 22, 2008
Jesuit Father Jose Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory, said Christians should consider alien life as an “extraterrestrial brother” and a part of God’s creation...
“This is not in contrast with the faith, because we cannot place limits on the creative freedom of God,” he said.
“To use St. Francis’ words, if we consider earthly creatures as ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters,’ why can’t we also speak of an ‘extraterrestrial brother?’“ he said.
Asked about implications that the discovery of alien life might pose for Christian redemption, Father Funes cited the Gospel parable of the shepherd who left his flock of 99 sheep in order to search for the one that was lost.

I heard this rumor about a month ago at the barber shop. I know about 15 years or so ago there was plans for another one to be built on the west side of town but it fell through towards the end of the planning stage.
Barber shop rumor is that the Hunt Family in Kansas City is backing this one. There's an old quarry/cement plant east of town that they are buying. I'm guessing the big pond in the middle will be the pits left over from that. The official announcement came out today:
QuoteVINITA — A $2 billion theme park and resort similar to Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom is planned for Vinita, officials announced Wednesday.
The American Heartland Theme Park and Resort “will attract visitors from around the world to celebrate all that we stand for, here in hometown America,” Vinita Mayor Josh Lee said in announcing the massive project.
The development will be built in phases, starting with a large-scale RV park with cabins scheduled to open in the spring of 2025.
A world-class theme park and resort is scheduled to open in 2026, the same year as the Route 66 centennial.
“We are thrilled to make Oklahoma the home of American Heartland Theme Park and Resort,” American Heartland CEO Larry Wilhite said during Wednesday’s news conference, attended by more than 900 people at the Craig County Community Center.

Today I decided to wash the fifth wheel. I always start with the top so I rolled up the hose to throw up on the roof and with a big heave I launched the hose skyward and milliseconds after I saw the bright light I released I was too close to the bedroom slide that is right about 6 foot high. No concussion but I did get 3 staples in my scalp for catching the corner...

I’ll say this about the “Tic Tacs” and other sightings of objects that appear to violate what we know about how air travel works. First, if you look at the most advanced combat aircraft in the world, its physical performance is unremarkable compared with plenty of earlier tech. It’s the best because of how it’s networked and how (not) observable) it is.
Second, an aircraft that was capable of making your sensors believe it was violating laws of physics, accelerating at unheard of speeds, not having a heat signature, etc…..would be far more useful and interesting to the DoD than an aircraft that actually did those things.
The thing about the tic tac video is that we also have the F-18 pilots publicly saying they saw it doing those things.
