Rare things that have been documented much better than UFOs

This exists. I see references to more than one of them. but possilby it is just the one being moved around. In any case, pretty rare. And well documented.

Source referring to it is a sculpture made for a particular event (Comic Con in San DIego, 2016)

Reference to it (or one) being in Tokyo:

"Mom... do we have to visit grandpa?"
"Why? What's wrong with visiting grandpa?"
"He always makes us sit on his weird lap..."
"I know honey, but grandpa is very self-conscious about his condition. Please just give him a hug and sit on his lap for a few minutes."

To borrow a line from Adams Family Values: "There's something not quite Chippewa here".

"When I die, please turn my body into a park bench."

"When I die, please turn my body into a park bench."

With some plastinization and resin.. And Giger inspiration, you could be something that Joel-Peter Witkin would like to sit on. Set you up near a crematorium.
But an even scarier thought occurred to me. Trump Benches !!
Only certain people would be allowed to sit on them, of course. 24k gold leaf.. It's the only scheme that hasn't been tried yet. Maybe you'd have to put money in to sit on it. I'd keep my kids far away from them.

Put bird seed in my navel, and I'll never be lonely.

THAT'S A title for an autobiography if I ever saw one!

Hey Ann, how's it going today?
btw: What would you call these 3 animals...?

Er, Brian, Francois and Mabel?

Or the pictures from the naming task in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment?

If she gets 'em right, we'll know she's in the "Stable Genius" category

Pussycat, angry pig, long-legged beastie. Or if you prefer, Larry, Moe, and Curly.

Do I get a cookie?

Do I get a cookie?

Take two, they're small...

Where's the raisins?

 

[John J.]

Where's the raisins?

I feel @JMartJr stated his raisins clearly, the cookies are of modest size (this might be subjective) and therefore you deserve two.

In the currant summer weather, maybe the Sun Maid him particularly generous.

Rare things that have been documented much better than UFOs

1. A man being shot in the neck with a .30-06 from 130 m at a 6.1-degree downward angle over the heads of hundreds of people, including law enforcement, none of whom are able to identify where the shot came from, and it leaving no exit wound.

Wait wait are we talking CK?

Multiple planes flying in formation at night with lights, which of course are claimed to be a massive triangular UFO.....

Ah, but which plane was it?

Location: Babelsberg Palace, P (BB), DE

We should be able to identify it!

 

[jarlrmai]

It looks like about 17:37 UTC

When the Sitrec camera is locked to the sun the roll is fixed and this shot is significantly rolled from level, so it's hard to match the moon coverage

9H-QBT hmm maybe wrong angle, slight position changes make a difference

 

[jarlrmai]

Is the telescope image mirrored?

Is the telescope image mirrored?

The orginal post says this:

• The airplane! Based on FlightRadar24, seems to check out as Boeing 777, Ethiopian Cargo (ETH3605) from Zhengzhou to Liege. Its inversion plume casts a clearly visible shadow in Hα. This plume develops over time and moves across the disk in later frames.

That flight should have been seen going right-so-left, so It would therefore appear that the image is flipped horizontally

 

[Easy Muffin]

The Ethiopian is too far north. The Ryanair 9HQBT is an exact match though. Passes right in front of the Sun as seen from the palace at 1737Z. Image flipped for whatever reason.
