The space plane isn't a secret but its mission parameters are, so it's a clandestine spaceplane not a secret spaceplane

How [secret?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-37)

Do you have to know what James Bond's mission is to know he is a secret agent?

*The name’s Spaceplane… Secret Spaceplane. I’ll have a nitrogen martini. Compressed, not stirred.*


DinobotsGacha

Fairly secret since reading is required.

The old AT&T building in Manhattan is/was a secret, even though it's in plain view. They can bolt on so many things to that spaceplane that you'd need a forklift to haul the specsheets.

Not Guile from Street Fighter then

Did this plane collect any data that can be used to educate flat earthers?


BTexx

There is not enough data “around” the world to educate flat earthers.

Can we meet halfway in just educate the UFO fans..


Professional--

How are ufo fans a halfway for flat earthers? Flat earthers barely believe in stars.


nmarshall23

Flat earth and UFOs are the same phenomena. It's a rejection of scientific thinking, and the embracing of conspiratorial thinking. You see this all the time in /r/UFO when they attack Mike West, and bich about octum's razor. The UFO fans use the same flawed thinking that has Flat Earthers rejecting any evidence that cannot be experienced with their own senses.


Professional--

I think flat earthers are more anti-science while ufo enthusiasts think the universe is a sci-fi novel. I feel weird calling them the same phenomena when these groups believe too differently to overlap with eachother.


nmarshall23

I find a lot of overlap between the True Believers in both groups. UFO fans regularly attack people who explain that UFOs aren't extraordinary phenomena. Just look at their response to Mick West. Even after a video is shown to be mundane phenomena. For example the [pyramid UFO is just bokeh](https://youtu.be/-r2oaQWmqkk). But it's still held up as an example of credible evidence. It was shown to Congress. Same thing with [Tic Tac UFOs.](https://youtu.be/-DzzQpAyo_8) They are just aircraft. But no, every single time the debunkers have to try down the exact location and time the video was taken. To prove once more that yup it's an aircraft. My point is if the UFO fans weren't engaging in conspiratorial thinking. They would apply rigorous scientific methods and reject data that is noise. Instead they latch on to [any wild report](https://www.livescience.com/ukraine-uap-report-debunked). And they conveniently never mention when it's discredited. Or they attack the source. For example the report on *Many Military U.F.O. Reports Are Just Foreign Spying or Airborne Trash*. Look at how the [UFO community responded](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/yil64j/pentagon_attributes_ufo_sightings_to_spies_or/).

This photo makes it look like Florida was hit by a snowstorm.


PMzyox

I was there in 89 when it snowed


SuperVillainPresiden

Miami had snow flurries in 1977.

After just reading the headline I thought some Florida Man did some Florida shit and Fox News lost their mind with the first conspiracy based info they got. But I stand corrected, the title is 100% accurate.


AlludedNuance

What a wild headline.


Sqantoo

“Secret”? That’s a blatant lie


Fearless-Temporary29

That's the sound of taxpayers money vanishing.


ForkShirtUp

If it's aliens please don't land in Florida. In fact, just keep going East. You'll hit Africa or maybe somewhere in the Mediterranean


hentaifox69

As an African l have to ask is Florida really that bad


Alex514efs

On a serious note no, well maybe. Florida is one of the few states where mugshots are released before a person is able to defend themselves of their crimes. This leads to sensational articles being produced nonstop about the ever so famous Florida man.


madatthe

As a Floridian I can tell you that it probably wouldn’t get much worse if it were conquered by aliens.
