Does that tale end "... My daugher the microbiologist always used to criticise us both because she never had to throw more then a few grams of her experimental viruses away, because it had gained the wrong function." :-D

Interesting. After watching a bit more of the OP video (which is painfully boring) I started to have my own possible explanation. IF the MUFON report is correct and they did indeed receive 10-17 reports on the evening of 1-8-'08, then some of...

From the OP. The point I was trying to make was that if hundreds of people witnessed this event, and believed they were seeing a mile-wide flying craft with bright lights, we might expect the witnesses to act as if this were an event of...

I think we probably agree that the "hundreds" of witnesses referred to re. Stephenville in the OP is perhaps exaggerated, if we take "witnesses" to mean people who thought they were seeing an extraterrestrial craft (or something else radically...

@NorCal Dave suddenly the squiggle ufo vid (pics in post #13) was 'closest' to what allen saw jan 25 Japan interested in UFO sighting Videos are starting to = come out, Allen said. I've gotten about ten but only two are worth anything. Allen...

well you spent time conflating it with Farmington where you highlighted "100s", which is what we were discussing about Stephenville claims. I accept your clarification that you weren't implying a similarity.

Hi, new member. Name is Mike, I reside in NJ. I am a former mufon investigator. I have since quit them and started my own group and my interest is uap unexplained phenomena. My professional job is a Microsoft Systems Engineer for a local MSP...

I don't feel that that the difference in meaning between "...large numbers" [of witnesses to a single UFO event] and "...dozens", in the same context, is really sufficiently robust for me to be accused of intellectual dishonesty.

I'm not sure accusing MUFON without evidence is intellectually honest. the MUFON guy, Robert Powell, in the OP national geographic video (13 years later) says "dozens". but if that means 24 its not so far off. Steve Allen [not MUFON] says in...

i assumed you were using the same thing as me too! lol. its so long i only looked at the bits ideamug pointed out.

thanks! i was wondering if it was a small "d" or something (the NY ufo) due to the highlight bulge at teh end, but wasnt sure about floating orientation.

Here ya go. When the line is given slack, the balloon wants to go horizontal (depending on wind).
