Fixed! Thank you for the feedback. I've made this a bit more distinct from the rest of the page, and dismissible, so hopefully it should feel a bit better.

I've a UX question. Is it possible to change this to support browser back button functionality? I tried it out on my PC and once the results page was displayed, I was initially a bit flummoxed that pressing the back button on my mouse, didn't...

Like that, except it's a web app. You can still install it, just not via the app store. See the "Install App" button at the bottom of the page.

It's not the motor its the iris blades Looks like a plane in the sky, I am not sure how geo-locating it solves anything given how long ago it is there are no ADSB etc records. Looks like at the time the plane was beginning descent presumably to...

It looks a lot like these diamond shapes apparently caused by the iris motor in the camera. Similar to this: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/calvine-photo-hoax-theories.12596/post-365766

That seems like a good fit.

New Starlink Horizon Flare web app, for (hopefully) easy predicting if a location or a flight will have sightings of Starlink Horizon Flares (SHF) https://shf.sitrec.org This is designed as an installable web-app, so once installed it will...

I think a big part of that is because it's in black hot mode, essentially inverted. Lens flares are additive, you get the brightness of the flare plus the brighness of what is behind it. If that adds up to more than the clipping value of the...

You made several rather specific claims in one post. It's quite reasonable to ask what you are basing those claims on. Are you comparing it to something? Is this entirely your personal opinion? Something in between? For example: What flare...

This immediately looked like another plane to me. Do you think it's on the ground? I don't see any indication of that.

Yes, but there are some caveats with all these people. First, as I said up-thread, all levels of government are going to include some people that are into UFOs, because they all come from the general population. That's not strange or surprising...

I'm not sure this will be useful, but good quality ATFLIR footage is very rare. Here the F-18 is maneuvering more dramatically than in the other videos, but we see a similar set of passive track acquisition and lock. I think this one is a balloon.

Let's try to keep the same three-digit naming convention as the Pentagon uses, i.e. PR050, not PR-050. Not PR50 or PR-50 This will make it easier to find them in existing discussions, and avoid duplicate threads. I'll try to rename them where...

Initially this looks like a low-flying craft skimming over the water with a shadow. But I think, on zooming in, that it's actually just four birds and parallax. Stabilized Zoomed in: You can practically see them flapping The camera is...

I think the digital x2 zoom is on during the whole video and the three vfov levels are 0.115, 0.235 and 1.4 (ultra-narrow to medium narrow with digital x2 for each level) The four corners on the HUD represents the field of view of the next level...
