People with limited familiarity with contrails sometimes call them chemtrails. However, it's possibly a sign of a conspiratorial mindset.

Luna's list of 46 ↔ Release 2 (PR050–PR099) — verified against AARO's CSV + DVIDS metadata, 2026-06-13 The in-order PR050→PR099 mapping holds. Flags below: L = error in Luna's list, A = error in AARO's data, ? = positional guess only (callsign...

Prompted by this thread: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/a-way-of-simulating-the-effect-of-a-camera-bump-on-night-sky-images-of-flaring-starlinks.14940/ I implemented a reasonably physically accurate long exposure simulation. The issue with...

Part of Release 3, this seems largely explained as flares. 60% definitely identified as such, but 40% indeterminate. The problem there is that it's all eyewitness accounts. Nothing really stands out as anomalous. The "Kite" sounds like an...

I think we'll keep sigs. People can individually disable them if they like.

The exact location of the lantern footage is redacted by the FBI, but Ross gives it as "Hooksett, NH", and the reporting party as "Lou N" It does not seem like the ISS footage is from the same person (or even part of this tranche), as it's...

Summary of the related cases from the FBI 2. "Northeastern Orb" residence case, 2021-2026 FBI case file on recurring "plasma orbs" at and around one person's residence in the northeastern US. Per the blurbs, all of D004-D010 and PR001-PR004...

I've split out the discussion of the "Northeastern Orbs" to a seperate thread: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/fbi-uap-pr001-to-pr004-northeastern-orb-uap-cases.14950/

Yes, he shows the Chinese Lanterns video later in the interview, along with a video of the ISS.

I've added an AI generated summary to the OP, with links. All four new FBI videos are from the "Northeastern Orb" case that Caison Best of ASA showed to Ross Coulthart, here: Source: https://youtu.be/74ud-5Ld48Y?t=2608 Which is a prime...

Unfortunately, Release 3 has introduced some name collisions with FBI-UAP-PR001-6, so it seems like we'll have to use the full name where possible to avoid ambiguity. DOW_UAP_PR001 FBI_UAP_PR001

Yes, it's from here: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/ica-uap-d001-and-fb-uap-pr004-caison-bests-fort-carson-uap-report.14412/ Obvious sky lanterns. Excessive deference to the witness.

That is old, not part of the release. The link https://www.dvidshub.net/search/?q=uap&view=grid&sort=publishdate is showing all files tagged UAP, but only the first nine are part of Release 3. And of those, only four are actual videos. And of...

Occasionally one catches my eye, but mostly I'm not aware of them being there. Never thought of having one myself, but I can understand why others might. I didn't know there was an option to turn display of them off, which I've now enabled, just...
