Nor do I, nor could I. I still have a hunch that there is some way to show a "this can't be a coincidence" relationship, with numbers. But I will have to let it be just that, a hunch.
Thanks for the discussion, as well as the reference to...
We can't.
Parallax happens when you look at a distant point, and the observer moves. (I used the example of a "jumping" mountain in a previous post.) But if the data allowed an ummoving point, @Edward Current would have found it.
But what we...
First, I ought to say that I am not familiar with the whole video. I've watched the minutes you're referring to. If I'm missing other parts you'd like us to comment on, please point them out. I am familiar with the analysis of the flight path...
Indeed, and I think there's an important point here. We know eyewitness account are not very good evidence, as human perceptions and memories are prone to numerous errors and inaccuracies - even entire accidental fabulations. So we value hard...
They don't fit the description in my original question, but it's a great example just because, to the photographer, they are unexpected. They also refute the claim that things in the sky at night subtler than a large meteor can't be photographed...
I feel SpaceX launches are a good addition to this, they are planned and if you live in the area they might be somewhat regular (idk, I don't live in the area), but for people that don't know about the launch these are effectively rare events and...

While train derailments occur far too often, this appears to be a full-frame, up-close shot of the accident's exact initiating moment...
Similar effects can be observed in cats as well

why do we have to disprove the ETH? it is a waste of money. Feed children, reduce medical costs, house our vets and elderly or prove to Chunder that Ets arent visiting earth... hhmmm how should we spend the money?
Why not? Dismally low prior probability and (at best) ambiguous/anedoctical evidence which never gets better = dismally low probability that it's real.
How do you determine UFOs (say) are worth to be studied while Bigfoot or telekinesis (say)...
We're not really concerned with the socks, we're concerned with the evidence of them.
To get back to the topic, Garrett Graff wrote in Politico:
Fourth, we must build an effort that’s data-based and instruments-based. Our data on the UFO...
(As a newbie here, I don't know if discussing media trends regarding bunk (meta metabunk) has a place on these forums and, if it does, which forum it belongs in, so I'm posting in General Discussion, which seems reasonable, but expecting this to...
