On Saturday, May 18th, I was a passenger in a car just on the outskirts of Tucson, AZ about 15 minutes past sunset when the driver noticed a large metallic object in the sky out the driver side window. It appeared stationary and so I thought maybe it was a large airplane heading towards us. I...

I listened to an NPR interview with a technology reporter, Casey Newton, regarding an article he wrote about employees at a company in Phoenix, Cognizant, that Facebook contracts for content moderation. A link to the NPR interview and transcript is here...

Freakonomics (podcast) recently had an episode of "Tell me something I don't know" where invited guests are interviewed about a topic of their expertise and the audience picks the winner. The winner of this episode was a climate scientist, Kate Marvel, (bio here) who discussed the role of clouds...

A few mornings ago in the San Francisco Bay I thought it was interesting how there was very distinct layering with fog, clear sky, and then smoke haze drifting over the area from the Mendocino fires about 80 miles north. So the next day I made a point of looking at the 24-hr time lapse video...

I was at a party a few weeks ago and met a self-proclaimed chemtrail activist. First person (other than my conspiracy-believing family member) I've met in real life who believes in chemtrails. We had a cordial exchange. I think this person was surprised that I knew so many of the talking...

Tonight at 7:15 I saw an orange light in the southeast sky at about a 45 degree angle. I live 15 miles north of San Francisco. The light appeared to be moving very slowly in a W/SW direction. I was at the bottom of my street and pulled over and got out of my car to look at it. I've lived here...

I was looking at FR24 for flights in the area this morning and it showed a couple of Alaska Airline flights near each other and within a few hundred feet of each other. Both departed Seattle, one was headed to San Jose (AS318) and the other to Ontario (AS530). Ontario is about 350 miles south...

This week's This American Life had a segment titled "Master of Her Domain... Name" about the Clinton email scandal. The guest, Garrett Graff, a reporter who has spent 10 years covering politics, discusses what he learned from reading ~250 pages of FBI summaries of the email investigation. In...

Below is a Wikileaks email purportedly from Clinton's private email server. The email chain is from January 2013 and passes along an article that the sender laughs off as being a conspiracy theory. It's being used on multiple sites to support claims that Clinton has brain damage, but the email...

I presume the latter, but these pictures were sent to me by someone who believes the former. The pictures were taken about 5-6 years ago on a cruise ship on a foggy day in San Francisco Bay using a Canon digital camera. The object wasn't noticed at the time the picture was taken. Supposedly...

In San Francisco we have had cloudless/contrail-less days for many weeks now. So I was wondering what the local chemtrail photographer was up to and looked at his FB page (he's currently photographing in another state). He also had a link to this interesting photo with the comment No doubt the...

I've never noticed this phenomenon before, perhaps because I've never spent so much time looking at the sky as I have done for the past couple of years. I was about to ask what caused these rays, but in poking around a bit on this board I think I found the answer. This picture was taken 10...

Is there a way to figure out what this might have been. It was very loud, but there was low cloud cover at the time and I couldn't find it. I tried to locate it on FlightRadar24, and the most likely suspect was blocked. I couldn't figure out how to filter it to show just the blocked flight or...

I was looking at yesterday's timelapse video (24 hr in 2 minutes) taken from the Berkeley hills looking west to the Golden Gate Bridge. At 1min, 12 seconds, a cloud starts to form just right of center, and it forms into a long contrail-esque cloud, that passes out of view at 1 min, 15 seconds...

This was taken about 9am this morning on the SF Bay (close to San Quentin prison) looking S-SE - a bit into the sun so it's not very clear. The uniform bend in several contrails caught my attention. I had assumed that the bend was taking place somewhere over the south bay, but when I looked on...

Not sure if I'm going about this right as this is my first attempt at creating a new thread, and a debunking one no less (please correct me if needed!)... My CT-believing mother recently read an article to me titled "Academic Oligarchy: Majority of Science Publishing is Controlled by Just Six...

I haven't had a chance to spend much time on this site yet, and so perhaps the answer is already here somewhere... By way of background, I live/work in the San Francisco Bay area where there are several busy airports. Also, having recently purchased the FlightRadar24 app, I've learned that...
