1955 aerial shot of the area from https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov

Not sure how much use this is in answering the original question, but previous analysis seems to have the sightlines off a bit. The "house" left of centre in the UFO photo is almost directly north of the Trent's house, and is ~370m away. Maccabee seems to have them looking more to the NE. His...

Perhaps the wires we see have nothing to do with it. If they had thin thread like fishing line, then presumably they also had a fishing rod and perhaps standing on a ladder with that rod allowed the model to be suspended at the right height. Just a guess.

The illusion disappears if you adjust the darker frame to match the tanks on the left (as Anne mentioned). When adjusted (eyeballing it) they appear more or less on the same plane. Here I've roughly lined up the wires at the top of the frame, as best without distorting the image, it just makes...

But (and i'm guessing here) you don't seek to activly discredit the person, just interrogate the evidence for the claim? The discrediting of people just kind flows from that especially if they continue to make the debunked claim (as so many do). I think it's this distinction which Pasulka...

It's no wonder people think about the reality of claimed experiences with no evidence like this when one of the best-selling UFO books of recent years (American Cosmic, D.W. Pasulka) provides support from a position of academic authority, making this strange, and I would argue wrong, definition...

Called this a while back #939

Yes, I reviewed local TV listings for several months on either side of the sighting and wrote up my findings here: https://gideonreid.co.uk/demystifying-zimbabwean-newspaper-and-television-content-available-to-the-children-of-ariel-school-in-september-1994/ I also corresponded with Dr Euan...

Experiencer is a term used to describe someone who believes they have had direct contact with aliens. In Nickerson's case he believes he was repeatedly abducted and experiemented on by aliens from an early age. It doesn't necessarily mean experimentation, but rather contact (which need not even...

There's some speculation about what that might have been in this separate thread: 1994 NASA STS-64 Mission & Lights Seen in the Sky Over Africa. An experiencer and former patient of John E. Mack, and a subject of Budd Hopkins, who was given access to Mack's archive material to tell the story...

Oriana's drawing always reminds me of the Polkaroo from Polka Dot Door, a kids program that was airing on terrestrial Zimbabwe TV at the time. Not to preempt Charlie's responses to Duke's questions above but Randall Nickerson didn't include any of Dallyn's actual sighting details in that...

As with every other interview associated with the Ariel School sighting this is a disappointing poorly conducted interview. Harald clearly hasn't done his homework. He assumed Dallyn had said he'd seen aliens - he never did so on the record and had only talked about flashing lights. He claimed...

I was mulling over this recent quiz question that used a purposfully low quality blurry image so as to make Reverse Image Search hard or impossible to use. I'd convinced myself that that it showed a small white dog curled up in a basket under a tree. But when I eventually found it I was...

Not that it's visible in #38 but I see that Passing Places have their own OSM Tag & unique identifier. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dpassing_place

The Bellingcat tool did quite well (without coding) at giving back results that used just three features: road, river, and cemetery within 20m (assuming you had a hunch it was Scotland) - however like Whatiswhere it didn't pick up the correct cemetery but one further along the valley in...

https://www.whatiswhere.com/?page=help has a slightly easier negative condition structure. See example 11 on the help page.

Lots of good (if incorrect) guesses.

This might be very easy or quite challenging... Where exactly did I take this photo today?

Just came across this illustration in a 1954 edition of Saucerian. Note the Adamski-esque UFO top and a similar 'flying saucer' shape bottom.

Update to #1 I asked the National Archives where the video title and description came from and after a bit of back and forth where they at first indicated they may have come from Defense Visual Information Distribution Imagery agency (DVIDS) - they didn't - NA managed to find the Master Card...
