Pretty sure they're exempt. But having had 15 years of almost daily contact with FAA while employed by Boeing, I'm not absolutely certain they don't include UFO's in their regulations. Possibly in the "Experimental Aircraft" sections.
32 years in the FAA and I can tell you they are NOT exempt. We just don't know where to send the citation to.
Address it "To Whom, or What, it may concern". And broadcast it out into the Universe on multiple frequency's in every Earth language.cooperhawk wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2023 2:55 pm32 years in the FAA and I can tell you they are NOT exempt. We just don't know where to send the citation to.
Since you state that travel into the future is not possible, I'd have to argue that there are an infinite number of futures. The realization of a particular probable future (a reality) derives from all that has gone before. A very smart man once noted: "In the absence of Reality, Probability rules." So the problem facing a time traveler is not question of time, but choosing one of an infinity of possible futures (Probability of becoming a Reality); each in flux from nano second to nano second; and in a sense, competing with all other possible realities - that in our ignorance we refer to as the future.cooperhawk wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2023 2:54 pmSince Albert Einstein proved that time travel is possible, (only into the past as the future hasn't happened yet), why
couldn't it be our descendants journeying back through time to observe us.
Just saying...............
Why not both. Or neither? The answer to the question demands perfect knowledge of the Universe. Lacking that, all we have are probabilities based on the extent of our knowledge - which is severely inadequate.RanchRoper wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2023 7:02 pmWonder what’s worse, we are not alone in the universe or we are?
Please don't. Your sudden appearance in the past would alter the present in unforeseeable ways.RanchRoper wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:14 pmYou mean I can actually get back to 1820? Oh man, I am in. See ya'll....

It's turtles all the way down.A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"[/quote}]
