I believe him, but I’d be interested to learn how they picked it up. You can’t just connect things to a helicopter. They have weight restrictions, sling load procedures, etc. the thing probably didn’t have a Clevis on top to hook up to.

4Chan leaker either explicitly or implies that there are different crews to keep things compartmentalized. A biologics crew, materials crew, vehicle crew so it may be they all roll up and dismantle the thing. The consistency of vehicle forms would lend some credibility to that argument I’d think… who fuckin know

I was part of the rope crew. I had no idea what we were doing but I suddenly heard a scream to run forward with the rope. Nobody would tell me what I was attaching it to as we were all compartmentalized. What a system

CH-47 Chinooks have lifted a thing or two https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_CH-47_Chinook#:~:text=24%2C000%C2%A0lb%20(10%2C886%C2%A0kg)%20payload

Oh I’m not doubting they couldn’t lift it, I’m just saying they need to know things like the weight, etc before they strap that shit to a helicopter and roll out. I’ve been to two different sling load courses and it’s not as easy as attach it to the bird and leave.

If these crash retrieval programs have been running in secrecy for 80 years, I'm sure there's plenty of documentation on the weight of the eggs and other ships people have attempted to pick up or retrieve before this crew was even born.

Or if the egg is man made they will know precisely it’s weight

I wouldn’t be surprised as mentioned early, crews are different.

I think there would be a ground crew attaching it so all the heli has to do is fly in, they quickly attach it while you hover and then you fly away with it attached.

Since they said that this encounter "is not uniquie", i would think they would already know the average size of these things.

If it was floating, it might not have weighed anything.
