Physicists won't claim anything as truth without proof. You've been acting like AATs are the truth this whole time. I'm happy to keep an open mind about a theory, but if that's what you want then present it as such.

While it's true that any craft wouldn't be able to defy laws of physics, they could certainly defy laws of physics as we understand them. Our understanding of physics is far from complete or perfect.

I didn't say you used the word "real." You call it a theory, but instead of weighing the facts and adjusting the theory you say that anything that disproves your theory either doesn't matter because "AATs aren't conventional" or "Those are just stories."

Your exact words earlier in the thread. You say it's information, but without giving a source it means absolutely nothing.
I cannot reveal the source of information. This may endanger my+his/her life.....(you may add your own icon from above :-))

Or the appearance thereof could appear to defy our known laws of physics but they don't.
I wouldn't underestimate the confusion which could be generated from optical stealth.
Optical stealth is a military-only technology (for all civilian purposes you want to be as clearly identifiable as possible!) which has been under development since WW2.
Since it is very hard technologically to make something 'invisible', the better alternative is to make it 'confusing' and then rely on "cognitive stealth" to achieve your objectives.

There have been craft that seem to have violated physics (or they seemed to be craft in any case). We are more or less certain of that. However if they exist, they cannot have violated any law.

I disagree that a black project craft using exotic physics would be that hard to hide. But for that many years? That really is stretching it, unless it's surprisingly simple to construct and not many need to be in on it then I'd say no way. We shouldn't judge all technology by rocket science standards though. We are talking completely new (to most) science, that may simplify matters not make them more complex.
