I am particularly interested in the UFO Influencer phenomenon, as it highlights how social media platforms can amplify and shape public perceptions of so called unexplained phenomena, blending entertainment with belief.
Hi @FiShaRoo, welcome to Metabunk!My reason for joining today has to do with the 2019 Drone swarms around Navy Ships. I learnt today that a Chinese Cargo ship called the bass strait was in the vicinity and highly suspicious if you ask me.
I was wondering if anyone has a paid membership to the AIS data through maritime apps ? I'd love to get the gps track of the ship at that time.
Hi, I'm Giorgio. I'm writing from Italy. I'm a pensioner. I like reading physics books and I'm sensitive to living in balance with the nature of the planet. I'm happy to have met you. I'm very concerned about the fake-news, disinformation, conspiracy theories and climate change denial that are circulating today. I would like to help my partner, whom I love very much, get out of this bubble-filter or rabbit hole and I know that with your help I can try. Thank you for being there.This thread is for any first time poster to (optionally) post an introductory "hi everyone" post, which will also get you "verified" (meaning you can post without anti-spam restrictions) once that post, and a few posts in another sub-forum, have been approved.
A few words on who you are and how you ended up here would be appreciated. Or just say hi!

I had a similar experience with the 2017 disclosure. I saw essentially uncritical news stories, wondered if there might be something to this and found a youtube video which referenced Mick's gimbal video.hi all!
so my journey to get here was:
* being a bit shocked at what seemed like military ufo disclosure, with the 2017 articles and videos, assuming it was all as it appeared and as reported.
* having it on my backburner for a while, and watching what might unfold over the next few years.
* then finally watching the unidentified tv show recently, series 1, and thinking if this is all or even mostly/somewhat accurate it's pretty mind blowing!
* so i thought "why is this not bigger news? who are the disbelievers and what are they thinking about all this?"
* that led me to the new york post basement office videos
* and then searching about inconsistencies about aawsap / aatip / elizondo's exact role, that led me here.
* i then saw mick's gimble debunk video, which was fantastic.
* i then realised this forum was his, so i explored here a bit more.
and today i signed up
glad to see a place like this exists in today's day and age of fake news and overall poor scientific literacy from the general public and the mainstream media. wish this site was more well known, you are all doing a great job!
We don't have a lot of material on this; https://www.metabunk.org/forums/ETRH/ is probably your best bet.Good evening…I'm interested in how people "know" something is true as well as what plants that first bit of doubt. Glad to be here.
Thank you for the link. I'll check it out. I also just finished listening to Escaping the Rabbit Hole, which has a lot of good information too.We don't have a lot of material on this; https://www.metabunk.org/forums/ETRH/ is probably your best bet.
Welcome!Thanks for having me!
Looking forward to add to the debates, especially regarding the Varginha UFO Case.
Several, in fact.Surely there is a thread here discussing how the plane was able to cut through the steel beams?
thanks! lots to read!Several, in fact.

The short answer is that there were tons of fuel in the wings, moving at high speed.
If you'd like to discuss this further, I suggest you either piggyback on the existing discussion ("How could the plane's wings..."), or start a new discussion of your own.
Welcome aboard!Just a quick question as a new member:
probably https://www.metabunk.org/forums/site-feedback-news.15/Is there an appropriate thread for general questions that I'm missing, either for questions about this Forum (protocols, etc.)
https://www.metabunk.org/forums/chitchat.31/ is never wrong. It can't be seen by non-members, so your questions won't show up on Google, either.or a place to inquire about previous threads (to avoid redundant posting when the Search feature isn't yielding adequate results)?
You're welcome!Thanks
Other than this place I would start at his YouTube. That is how I found Mick.I stumbled onto this website by absolute chance. I'm seeing a lot of people refer to "Mick's Work," so I'll have to go out and see what that's all about, but in the meantime, I know some people who are really into certain harmful conspiracy theories (namely ones regarding COVID misinformation), and so I'm happy to find a place that so strongly emphasizes good-faith and thorough examination of the existing "evidence" to systematically break down why those theories don't hold any water.

I earned my B.S. in Biotechnology and Molecular Biology from Clarion University and my Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University. My Ph.D. research focused on how cells build ribosomes, the nano-machines in all of your cells that make protein. Specifically, I studied how cells make sure a certain part of the ribosome, the polypeptide exit tunnel, is made properly. If you want to know more, ask me about it some time!
