UFO Over Virgina ? Are they just blowing smoke ?

This video is a great example of why we need to be VIGILANT, TRED-heads!  Why we need to keep our eyes open, AND our minds, as we scour the world for sightings of alien invasion activity.  After all these undeniable photos and vids of our new intruders “hiding out” (more like peeking out) all over this planet, it seems strange to pay attention to this fuzzy vid of an uncertain UFO sighting at King’s Dominion Amusement Park in Virginia.  BUT!  We must not take anything for granted at this point.  Because these giant alien robots are getting here SOMEHOW — and from what we’ve seen, they might even be transforming themselves into UFOs to be their own inter-galactic transporters, right?  So it’s possible — just possible — that this gray ring floating in plain sight was an alien robot scouting its perfect landing pad.
Or, as some observers have said, the ring is just a smoke ring from the nearby volcano ride at the park.  Hmph.  Well that’s not very exciting.  And wouldn’t it be a shame if we all decided it WAS a smoke ring, and we blew it off (get it?), and then suddenly that thing landed and came to blow away our hometowns??? So, what I am saying is that we must be suspicious of EVERYTHING, we must investigate, we must never stop searching until we know the TRUTH!  Because maybe the government planted those people with the volcano-smoke-ring theories to throw us off the scent.  Or maybe — just maybe — we are being tested by the aliens to see which types of sightings we respond to — a little space reconn — so they can build up their arsenal of sneak attack strategies.
EITHER WAY, we must stay alert and be ready to smoke them out!

Just a fly on the wall ? or a LETHAL ROBOT SNIPER

 

Okay, guys, this one has got me climbing the walls with anxiety.  The US Air Force Research Laboratory is developing a rash of new surveillance and attack robots, varying in size from a swallow to a  FLY.  These things sneak, stalk, sense, spy, and SHPLAZAAAM explode on enemy combatants.  Thanks to the ever-vigilant Agent Elemento P for pointing out this article in Esquire (and how dapper of you to be reading Esquire, P), and check out the crazy animated demo vid it links to.
These lil’ BUGGERS, charmingly nicknamed “Suburb Warriors” are a great way to fight terrorists without collateral damage, and hey, what’s better than that.  As Esquire says, “Instead of dropping Hellfires or a 500-pound bomb on an insurgent hideout, one or more Suburb Warriors could fire a volley of mini-missiles at confirmed targets, without vaporizing the wedding reception next door.”  But what’s going to keep me up tonight, and for many nights to follow, is the fear of these palm-sized cuties falling into the wrong hands.  Like maybe hands that can bring them to life and turn them on humanity?  The struggle against terror will look like a beach vollyball game if that happens. Because, as the Esquire article concludes: “You can run from tomorrow’s robotic hitmen, and you can hide, and they’ll flap or squirm or glide into position and kill you anyway.”

So excited!! Just got a package from that mysterious Agent X! Wish I knew who this dude was so I could send him a candy-gram.  I love this guy!
There’s a LOT of material on this flashdrive he snail-mailed me (and by the way, this guy is GOOD — I never even gave him my top-secret address).  It’s all got something to do with a “now defunct” clandestine part of the government, something called Sector 7.  Ever heard of it?  Neither did we.
The first thing Sharkatron and Fassinator were able to de-encrypt was the video you see above- are you serious?? WHAT IS THAT THING!?!

Broke Bot

Take a look at this pic from an ATM surveillance camera dated May 12th! I get weirded out when it’s just a HUMAN hanging around while I’m taking cash out of the ATM. Imagine if it was a robot!!! Shiver. According to our source, that ATM was robbed less than a minute after this photo was snapped. Which begs the question: What does a bot need with money? Well, one of our commenters theorized that maybe the alien robots have the technology to look like one of us. So if that’s true, then maybe they’d need cash as part of their disguise!
What a frightening thought, people! Now we need to be wary of cars, trucks, toys, and HUMAN BEINGS!

Rovers On Mars Or Earth

Agent Elemento P sent in a link to another alien robot story.  We keep hearing about how humans are sending “rovers” to the planet Mars.  But they keep crashing or getting wiped out somehow.  Only two have made it and are moving across the surface — if we can believe NASA.  And we all know how much we here at TRED trust the government.  The images these robots are supposedly sending back look a LOT like the Nevada desert with a red filter on it.  Come on, NASA, we all know how to do that effect on our laptops!
And those “rovers” look more like tiny and mid-size alien robots to me!  I wonder if these are like those bots we’ve been seeing all over the world hiding (more or less) in plain sight.  Which would mean NASA is on it, too.  Of course!  They’re probably using those things right now to track all of us truth-seekers down!

EXCLUSIVE! Mini-death-tanks-Bot

This was just sent into TRED HQ and it’s got me REALLY looking over my shoulder now. I used to love me some remote controlled cars (trucks, tanks, whatever) when I was a kid!  I even still have some in my room somewhere — I’m not using them, they’re just there. There’s nothing wrong with that.  But anyway, now I’m thinking about destroying ALL OF THEM.  First that model airplane from France goes nuts, now THIS! That thing nearly took out the ENTIRE WALL!!!!
The firepower from that tiny “toy” is INCREDIBLE.  Imagine what a giant one could do!  That model plane just ran those French dudes down.  This tank could’ve taken out a whole city block!  That kid and his dad are effing lucky!  For some reason I just keep watching the vid over and over and a chill runs straight down my spine every time!
What do you guys think about this?
Me, i’m fueling the effing jet and packing my things for the east coast!

Elemento, Dear Watson !

Once again, vigilant (vigilante?) Agent Elemento P comes through with a very cool link to this article about new technology in robot joints which makes them more compact and useful than ever.

As Farhad Aghili of the Canadian Space Agency explains in the article, “In a nutshell…the control system autonomously realizes the configuration change while demanding minimum actuation effort.”  WHAA?  What kind of an “explanation” is that?  Even a tech-head like me is losing the thread here.  But earlier in the article, we are told the robots have “passive joints that allow the arms to twist and change their length, depending on the task at hand.”  The article continues, pointing out that “This kind of reconfigurable robot could have many uses in space, including performing inspections, assembling devices, and carrying objects. Aghili added that a reconfigurable robot like this one could also have applications in mining, nuclear power plants and the military.”

So it occurs to me that maybe THIS is how some of these mysterious folding robots we’ve been spotting are changing their shapes.  Maybe this is a revolutionary concept to us, but it’s just elementary to them!  But then that leads me to say HOLY TINKERTOYS, does that mean these moveable metallic “visitors” will soon be getting involved in our “mining, nuclear power plants and the military”???  Does that mean these chunks of steel and their little “passive joints” will soon be TAKING OVER our nuclear power plants?

Stay alert, TRED-heads!
