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

    But I'd think that the existence of one previously unknown psychic power being proven would at least make the existence of others more plausible. Also, is this discussion drifting too far from Mr. Elizondo's upcoming opus? Should it be split off?

    Claim: Ancient Egyptians Could Not Work Granite Without High-Tech Diamond Tools

    ...that led her to invest a large amount of time and effort into the project. We see this on occasion on Metabunk, when someone comes out of the woodwork and delivers an exceptional analysis. Another example is the Robert (not Knodel) who acquired and used a fiber-optic gyroscope to prove Flat...

    Steven Greenstreet's Report on "The Pentagon Ghostbusters"

    This is where I would make the tiny note, just because someone was in AAWSAP or part of the woo crew network, doesn't mean all their work is dumb or fluff. The powerpoint here isn't really a case of over-generous funding. It's a powerpoint reflecting future priorities at that time for DOT&E...

Just waiting for a Mossbridge/Bem collaboration now.

    You forgot "there was a flying saucer in that same spot, and it realized a picture was being taken so it lined itself and the shadow to precisely match with the fields"

    Some of the many potential woo options for Lue's UAP we cannot yet dismiss: The Powers That Be used "Our technologies ... to manipulate time and space" to go back in time and put crops in those locations to discredit this evidence. A psyops psi agent back in the 1990s foresaw that the photo...

    ...particles in the brains of the participants without disturbing their quantum state. (This probably infringes Heisenberg's uncertainty principle or something, but we must be open-minded). I'd be disappointed if it all turned out to be woo and the use of new-age jargon devoid of real meaning.

    Mediumship — triple blind study

    Yes. Specifically, you would divide them into the same groups of two used in the study, and then ask people from the same cultural background as the "mediums" to guess which one is the older of each pair. I would tell them that with what I know about the bias, I personally would not trust the...

    The Selective Laziness of Reasoning

    May be relevant to UFO/Woo adherents being unable to recognize the flaws in their own arguments. Abstract Reasoning research suggests that people use more stringent criteria when they evaluate others' arguments than when they produce arguments themselves. To demonstrate this "selective...

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

    It would demonstrate some types of "predict the future" woo, but not other types of woo. Remote Viewing that depends on picking up emotional waves emanating from when an important action happened in the past, such as a crash, would be completely oblivious to such a test. You're doing a hasty...

    Four Corners - Large Disk Seen From Private Plane at FL210 [Irrigation Circles]

    ...and they'd recognize the picture from Elizondo's claim, associate it with the guy, who then loses a bit of face as a result. I'm not really sure where people could go to have unexplainable things explained (or at least guessed at) without being put in the "woo" corner, except here on Metabunk.

    Mediumship — triple blind study

    ...as the most likely cause of what I read in that study. However, it is a little difficult to go into a room of people that are heavily biased for woo and tell them I think the study they reference must be fraudulent. If I say that, then I can hardly tell them they have no evidence. They will...

    Orb UFOs in Sedona [Likely Starlink]

    Sounds like the Arizona version of Mount Shasta.

    Medical Conditions That Contribute to UFO/UAP/Paranormal Sightings?

    ...Then I remembered @JMartJr mentioning floaters in a post and I relaxed a bit. Now, as I assume for you, they're just annoying. But imagine someone in their late '50s or so that is into all kinds of woo and spiritualism experiencing floaters for the first time. Lord knows what they might think.

    Orb UFOs in Sedona [Likely Starlink]

    ...incredible. Sedona is gorgeous and spectacular, definitely on my top 10 place to live if I could afford it, and I can't. But it is also a MAJOR woo woo center. One can go hiking, rent RZRs or Jeeps to go visit the ruins of the Sin Aqua people and just get outside. Or one can go to magical...

    Claim: The ENG8 Company's EnergiCell Produces More Energy Than It Uses

    Nice deep dive, thanks, and to Maury too. Looking at the above, I'm yet again drawn to ponder why these things always seem to huddle together in dense clusters.

    The Telepathy Tapes

    ...whether when other media started to report on her story they sold her to us as "investigative journalist Leslie Kean" or as "Elbow-deep-in-woo-for-decades Leskie Kean"? I think it was the former. The framing's important, as if they'd have used the latter, people may have given Grusch less...

    The Tape - The Most Important Case Yet? (A UAP Files Film)

    I've asked for some clarification in the YT comments section. Aside: His channel is full of woo, including a video he made himself - Matter From Thought - which is about quantum woo.
