    Me too, but unfortunately that's up to them.

    Sitrec Development is Open Source and Partially Funded by an Anonymous Organization

    I posted the following on Twitter this morning. For the past five months, I’ve been working with an organization to add functionality, increase usability, and improve the documentation of my UAP/UFO analysis tool, Sitrec. Part of this process included making Sitrec open-source so that anyone...

    Sitrec Mods and Custom Sitches

    Sorry about the slow speed, that's something that needs work. I'm spoiled with gigabit internet at home. Missing parameters ... darn! Looks like I broke something. I'm a bit busy today but will try to get this fixed ASAP. People can report bugs here, with a GitHub account. I've added that one...

    Sitrec Mods and Custom Sitches

    I've not tested this with the Night Sky / Starlink sitch yet, and I don't think it will save the current TLE correctly, so keep using the "Permalink" button for that for now.

    If you are logged into Metabunk, you'll get a new button "SAVE MOD". This will give a URL that will have (hopefully) all the changes you made to a sitch. https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?mod=https://sitrec.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1/chilean_mod-3047f5ed74aba8db4036d31c28b3a629.js (I might...

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    They showed both a photo of the monitor and what looked like a crop of the actual image. Ideally they would release original data for everything. I've been asking Brandon do this for years. But he seems convinced I'm some kind of enemy agent or something.

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    I'm not sure, it's hard to wrap you head around exactly what is happening at the pixel level. I think maybe it would be slanted (which is obviously isn't)

    What is this object 36°27'42"N 113°24'26"W Mohave County Arizona, USA?

    Probably an empty evaporation pond for a mine e.g. https://flsi.us/portfolio-items/solar-evaporation-pond/

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    As I said earlier: The lines are tilted 2° relative to the long sides of the image. This is still enough to create a gap of a few scanlines during which the laser is off The line on the right is tilted 2.2° (10% more) and is about 10% longer. However that's the opposite of what I'd expect...

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    Boosting it to the max, I think that's a very tenuous outline. Maybe just compression noise. I suspect the weirdness with the other beams is just iPhone image sharpening/"enhancement"

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    regarding Rolling Shutter: iPhones, etc have the rolling shutter line parallel to the long side, with makes it seem like this is wrong: However I think it would still work as the lines are tilted. However it would need both green lasers to flicker off and on very quickly at the same time. And...

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    The laser cannons look like those they used in previous seasons, which use multiple independent beams in what looks like a 10x10 grid. I'm no Ph.D. in optics, but I can't see how that could create the abrupt breaks we are seeing via interference. Either way, if it's a beam artifact or a...

    Why are Starlink "Racetrack" Flares [Mostly] Reported from Planes?

    Its not a huge difference with refraction, 3.0 vs 3.2 degrees. https://www.metabunk.org/curve/?d=400&h=10000&r=6371&u=m&a=a&fd=60&fp=3264

    SmarterEveryDay "UFO" during Solar Eclipse

    Sitrec is also a bit off. Interesting, I might need to get more deeply into this (and the satellite issue) at some later date.

    @jimmyslippin, where did you get the video in the OP?

    It's a portrait shot, so that suggests a photo taken with a phone.

    Skinwalker Ranch - Laser Beam Stops and Starts in Mid Air

    Those are very abrupt starts and stops, like there's something in front of two of the green laser. I wonder if it just shows up on video on one frame - which might indicate something like a rolling shutter artifact with the laser flickering
