    Tokyo "UFO" lights from 2008

    But the Tokyo clip is just under 3 seconds long. Maybe it returns later and jump up and down too, but that made the clip less "woo"

    Tim Phillips lends credence to the existence of anomalous black triangle UFOs

    The deeper advocates go into woo, the harder it is to be ecumenically open-minded about the possibilities. Why can't the source be some immortal hypnotoad making people think they're seeing things? Or maybe there's some sinister organization that drugs people and puts them through involuntary...

    Who's Who at the November 13 2024 Congressional UAP Hearings

    ...such as James Fox but doesn’t see to have a set date for his own show. There doesn’t seem to be any new cases to talk about, unless they are going to milk the recent hearing to death. Who knows, maybe they might start focusing on implants and other more woo woo subjects from the back catalogue.

    Should AARO be releasing non-anomalous videos as "UAP"?

    ...to their categorizing stuff that does nothing anomalous as being anomalous. It reeks of "theremin" music and other accoutrements of the woo. I do not charge them with that intent, but I fear that effect. When something is just too far away and doesn't do anything interesting, release it...

    Tim Phillips lends credence to the existence of anomalous black triangle UFOs

    Were I the suspicious type, I would wonder if there is not any actual incident for this and Go Fast, but that they are just some footage with some "Woo hoo gee whiz!" dialogue dubbed over to dramatize rookie mistakes being made...

    Rep. Luna Requests UAP Video, With a List of Names.

    We have a rich vocabulary, there's no reason to keep using sloppy terms, several alternatives are already in use. I quite like the D/R/I and D/R/C/I distinctions in imaging, most used now in surveilance of humans, but aerial phenomena seem to stratify similarly: D=Detection: what things in the...

    Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer ... [whose] results seriously challenge the beliefs of mainstream science.

    This is the funniest thing I've seen all month and I'm really curious about her study here it has to be so bafflingly bad. What "time" did she use? Did she consider the cultural element to time and processing time? Some cultures have very different concepts of the "future" times that don't...

    The Telepathy Tapes

    The payload in that otherwise-throwaway sentence was actually just to imply that I did indeed wacht it to the very end. Seeing that made me wonder how good an education, core things like reading and writing, these kids are actually getting whilst having woo pumped into them.

    Claim: Original Calvine UFO Photo

    Yes, we know the military exists, and we know they sometimes conduct secret tests. But we also know that anti-gravity craft behaving as the witness described do not exist.

    How “Gibson’s law” makes it hard to trust experts

    ...at NASA JPL on extraterrestrial rovers who was an ardent young earth creationist. The ability to admit absurd ideas into your thought patterns doesn't seem that uncorrelated with the ability to put up baffles protecting the smart bit of your brain and the woo bit of your brain from each other.

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

    Which all points out the problem with woo-y claims -- ad-hoc explanations of why the woo doesn't work as expected are un-ending. (Though John J.'s experiment sounds like fun.)

    Mars Rover captured something interesting [rock]

    I almost posted this to the forum, but it was pretty quickly debunked even across all the reddit woo sites, since the object is a) maybe an inch long since the photo is from the rover looking down at the nearby ground, b) the supposed shadow is at the wrong angle compared to the other shadows...

    Best Friend is Trapped in TikTok Conspiracies

    My boss is a boomer and heavy into conspiracy theories, he's gotten progressively worse since COVID. I believe part of his obsession comes from the fact that he truly believes that he's smarter than everybody else and that he's always right. Any conversation always has to turn to some conspiracy...

    Mediumship — triple blind study

    ...Internet. I struggled with this issue several months before this thread. I ended up in the Psience Quest forum, where folks are fanatical about woo. I decided to take them on—listening to their arguments and responding as best I could. I think I had a good case against all their arguments...

    Claim: Original Calvine UFO Photo

    ...military exists, and that secret projects get tested, and that the military (like all human institutions" sometimes does stuff that seems dumb, at least from my point of view. The least likely explanation (or suite of them, the woo-ey stuff) requires things that are not known to actually exist.

    Anomalous triangular object filmed flying over my house.

    Enhanced with extra woo? :)

    Recently viral Buga, Colombia, "alien" metal balls

    ...thread, I (perhaps bad-temperedly) said that an associate of Jaime Maussan (and by extension the Maussan team) had invented a new field of Woo, "pseudo radiology"; this might be another example. (I'll qualify what I wrote above; there can't be much dense material in the equatorial band...

    ...COVID and the deluge of misinformation/disinformation, I was a "shruggie", not seriously concerned about those who succumb to various hookum and woo on the internet. Sure, I'd seen people dying from widely metastatic cancers that we treatable initially who opted for "alternative therapies"...
