    Replicating human perception of faces seen at a distance using a camera.

    ...a repeated motif found in CE3 reports (I gave examples) but it's a well worn motif in Science Fiction / horror / folklore, and occasional tabloid woo. More examples: 4 September 1964 Sacramento California case of three bow-hunters see a dome shaped object and three humanoids running around...

    Missing 411 : The UFO Connection

    ...that can start, restart, move, etc. All it means is that this year there are more cases over here, and last year there were more cases over there. They seem to be treating their chosen regions as if there's a magic fence around them. The woo just oozes out of their pores with wording like that.

    Tai Chi also has woo parts, but you can work around those and still accomplish a lot.

    Why P-hacking is so prevalent in research of psychic/psi abilities, NDE, mediumship, etc

    ...MB post, Mediumship — triple blind study, but I decided to make a separate thread since the information is so widely applicable across the woo and pseudoscience world (as well as the real science world sadly - though to a lesser degree. See Replication crisis). What is "p-hacking"? Wikipedia...

    ...nature - it wasn't 'spectacular' - it was a very small light in the sky. But I can't figure it out. Clearly I've been a little taken by the woo, so I'm a little biased in my thinking, but I am here looking to rule the woo out. I don't think any of the regular answers (plane, satellite...

    Southern California Wildfires - Reality, Conspiracy Theories and Political Hype

    ...what kind of HVAC and other systems can be used, ARC fault circuit breakers, and if one is in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI, pronounced Woo E) some more mandates, like fire proof vents. On top of that, many of the formally common structural standards have been updated, like the size of...

    Claim: 100 Years Old Moulds of Wax Gloves are Evidence of Ectoplasmic Materializations

    ...the hand without breaking the mold: all done by elementary school kids: Source: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd5WjupR738 the big thing with woo and conspiracy theories is that, much like click-bait, they play off people's credulity/incredulity, which thankfully means it usually breaks...

    Mediumship — triple blind study

    I just had a sniff around, and it does look like it carries a lot of articles in woo-attracting fields, and that such field are explicitly in the journal's remit: About the journal The Journal of Science & Healing EXPLORE: The Journal of Science & Healing addresses the scientific principles...

    Clouds over Mount Shasta - Dissipation Trail?

    ...examples of UFOs. But having once lived at the foot of a mountain, I roared with laughter, and cheerfully gave up my childhood interest in woo to replace it with skepticism. I understand how flatlanders would find them mysterious because there's nothing like that over flat corn fields, but...

    Missing 411 : The UFO Connection

    I notice that it follows the areas of mountains far more closely than it follows the caves. It's almost as if it's easy to get lost or injured by falling off a mountain, a fate that the clever prairie farmers of the Great Plains seem to be able to avoid.

    Claim: Ancient Cultures inherited Structures and Artefacts from Pre-Historic Lost Civilizations with Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities

    Matt describes himself as a "Researcher, Writer, YouTuber and Digital Marketing Specialist" on Linked In. He was interviewed in a news article a few years ago expressing doubt that the Merer papyrus referred to shipments for the "Horizon of Khufu" and was called an historian there. I'll see if I...

    QAnon and Yoga Making Strange Connections

    the only thing stressful about yoga is you need to be on the floor often. Try tai chi. Mindful yoga, or mindful exercise, requires paying attention and being fully present when you are moving. It means listening to your body (and learning how to discern your body's communication signals) so...

    Claim: Ancient Cultures inherited Structures and Artefacts from Pre-Historic Lost Civilizations with Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities

    They offer no explanation for the precision we see because they have no explanation. Thousands of jars, bowls and vases made of granite and harder stone such as corundum were manufactured. A recent scan of one of vase shows astonishing precision to 1/1000ths of an inch. What tools did the...

    Elizondo's Orbs

    ...objects, as opposed to simple hallucinations (like flashing lights, static, or vague visual noise), which are usually produced by discharges in primary visual cortex (V1) or the dorsal stream. It seems pretty solid to me that there's a strong connection between TPE and all sorts of Woo.

    Many High-Ranking People Have Confirmed Existence of Secret UFO Programs. Who Has Already Made Similar Claims?

    I don't know enough about woo stuff to know, but when she first announced it there were comments from people who said they'd heard a similar date. Her entire experience was posted on Reddit March 2021. Her hypnoregression was a few weeks later and (the excruciating part she released) didn't...

    OK, I see you're including mental health in there. As a personal note, I would find a health regimen that crosses over into woo to be something causing mental stress in me.

    Skinwalker Ranch - Season 4 Episode 10 - 3600 MPH UFO Claim [Fly]

    Yep, that makes sense. I know a lot of people assume it's just fake, but that's not the impression I get from many interviews of people working on the ranch, plus guest contractors. Or, it could be only a few people are in on the "secret". More than that, Travis talks on unrelated topics...

    Claim: UFO's May Be Stealth Aliens Living in Caves, on the Dark Side of the Moon or Alaska

    ...by Fredrick Spenser Oliver in his late teens at the end of the 19th century. It was published in 1915 and set the stage for Mt. Shasta and woo. But as the authors note, even if it's "most likely" fiction, weird stuff does happen at Mt Shasta. A side note, a friend's ex-wife and big time woo...

    Claim: Generative AI is Sentient

    ...would accept that mental properties exist (somehow) in a realm of which we know nothing (excepting religious and maybe, less respectably, quantum-woo 'explanations') and somehow interact via the brain but are not dependent on it. The process of interaction is of course undetectable. How an...
