    Preview of Luis Elizondo's UFO book: "Imminent"

    2007 Costa Rica UFO

    Most UFO case witnesses are not lying. However, you can't eliminate it as a possibility. I'm sure everyone here would be happy to look at other hypotheses for this case. Did you have a suggestion?

    Ignore/Hide Thread option?

    Sitrec Night Sky and Starlink Development

    As of 1.5.5, there is a new option under "File" called "Update Starlink TLE for Date." This will fetch the correct TLE file for the date set in the Time menu, meaning you no longer have to manually go find the TLE file.
