When you take a photo or video of a bright light source (or even just look at it) the light often appears a lot bigger than it actually is. The phenomenon is well known, but not really something I'd thought about. Why does it happen? What determines the shape of this glare and how big it is...

MTO Aerial has posted a video showing a pair of white streaks traveling in parallel across the sky moving very quickly. First off, is there any known cause for this phenomenon? If not, I'd like to analyse the speed by comparing the difference in parallax of the two objects. Any thoughts...

This photo of some dark streaks seeming to emerge from clouds is a popular addition to compilations of UFO "beams in the sky" or "interdimensional visitor". Here's an example usage I just saw on Facebook: (The images on the left are light pillars - a real phenomenon caused by light reflecting...

This video claims to show "UFOs" in the Las Vegas desert. There's several shots like this: However using the sharp hill that appears on the left of this image, and on the right of the top image, I was able to identify the location of the lights as a power line service road. I've marked the...

The above image is mostly star trails, looking south (you can see the curve around the southern celestial pole. But what caught my eye was the streak of light going behind the trees. Now at first I was convinced it was a meteor - it's Persid season after all. And the trail starts bright and...

This is one of the most famous pieces of UFO footage that is nearly an hour long and not easily explainable. How would one fake this, or is there some other explanation I am not thinking of? Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFuivergbXA&t=1165s

In a 2015 interview with George Knapp, Bob Lazar makes a drawing of the S-4 facility doors. The doors Bob Lazar described and drew were not in the middle of the hangar wall, they were up in the far corner in a straight line. Is it even possible to see through that many doors in this...

Two glowing balls were seen lighting up the midnight sky over the west of the ex-Soviet republic of Kazakhstan. The eerie UFO crashed near the village of Bostandyk some 1,000ft from the Zhalpakatal-Karasu highway, say police. The object “exploded” on landing - causing local houses to “tremble”...

A couple people have been using what they call "Video Analysis / Feature Extraction" methods to see what an object in a blurry or dark video actually looks like. (below is link to the analysis visuals) I know NVIDIA is making some great progress in image de-blurring techniques using machine...

A Tic-Tac is 11mm long. I just measured one (and then ate it, I'm quickly running out.). The "Executive Report" on the Nimitz UFO incident says: The altitude at which the shape was observed is unclear, but I'll go with the lowest, 10,000 feet. Now suppose we were to take a Tic-Tac, how far...

With UFO cases like the Nimitz encounter pilots report seeing a white featureless oval. I was wondering if it's possible that this might, in some cases, be explained by reflections off the jet canopy. Consider this quick example: Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LIZTiwadWE Like most...
