We don't. We know: 1 - the plane is going 240 mph, or 352 feet per second 2 - the object's apparent speed is about 4.3 times its own length per 1/30th of a second From just those two things, and assuming it's not moving under its own power and...

Someone on Twitter/X (@SwinkMcCloud) pointed out that there are different kinds of lighting balloon. Some of them have a built in 'hat'; others have a detachable one: Source: https://twitter.com/SwinkMcCloud/status/1783406327882297800 One can...

There was a thread last month discussing a lower quality version of this video, with less information:https://www.metabunk.org/threads/ufo-filmed-over-new-york-city-what-is-it.13406/ In particular there was discussion about it being a solar...

I took this photo 10 years ago and at the time didn't know what kind of weather conditions were required for contrail formation and I didn't know that contrails could cast shadows the way they do. Anyway today EXACTLY 10 years later I am approx...

Compressing the levels on the IR image, we get the distinct impression that it's not a two-tone ball, looking more like a white sphere with a black "hat". We don't know if it's black hot or white hot. There's possibly some detail on the white...

AARO is not saying it's that particular type of balloon. Their assessment is only with "moderate confidence" and some of it seems a bit of a stretch. Although the pilot described the object as uniformly gray in the visible spectrum (it appears...

AARO thinks it's a balloon https://www.aaro.mil/Portals/136/PDFs/case_resolution_reports/Case_Resolution_of_Eglin_UAP_2_508_.pdf (U) AARO assesses the reported UAP very likely was an ordinary object and was not exhibitinganomalous or exceptional...

Marik suggested I put this one into Sitrec. I like that Peterson had a Sitrec-like recreation back in the 1990s It would be good to A) verify this, and B) extract more info, like size, and speed. At a minimum, I need the first frame for each...

From the video presentation of what they have done, they seem to have fallen into the same trap as the EmDrive. They were registering minute forces in the range of [μN] (see figures below), initially using a torsional pendulum, whilst working...

This is what frame 984 of Gimbal looks like, showing the object's geometric properties detected by the method described here. Clearly the accuracy of the method is heavily degraded on such frames where the object makes sudden movements leading...

Saw a very bright distinctly green fireball over LAX on approach to RWY 25L on 16 APR 24 at approximately 21:13. Was a good one that broke into pieces before fading out.

Just bumping this, as it might not have got noticed waiting for approval.

I did a fairly significant site upgrade today, updating: Ubuntu (the server's operating system) from 20.0.4 LTS to 22.0.4 LTS PHP (the language used by the forum software, and a bit of Sitrec) from 7.2 to 8.3.6 Xenforo (the forum software) from...

I think this is the original NUFORC Report. Suggests the the date/time of video is "2019-10-18 20:30 Local" https://nuforc.org/sighting/?id=150361 And this is the slam-dunk.... Source...
