I posted the explanation on that Reddit group, but was downvoted and banned for violation of their Rule #1: "No debunkers"

I broadly agree with you. We haven't heard of any such craft, or anything with these capabilities, in 35 years. Both provenance and provenience are shaky, i.e. we still don't know who took the photo, and where.

Yeah, nor additional sightings, nor any "spin off" tech. This seems unlikely.

Yeah, but I completely understand why this hypothesis is tempting for some people. Clarke is a down-to-earth guy who doesn't entertain extraordinary explanations like ETs or time travellers, and we do know that black projects exist. However, when...

I would really like to hear your thoughts on the "secret US reconnaissance platform" hypothesis. To be clear from the outset, I'm personally convinced that the entire thing is a hoax created using small models. That said, I'm currently working...

If anyone has a laser pointer thingy, maybe attach it to the car with its engine idling, perhaps facing a garage door or other suitable surface. (Careful of the paintwork, though!) If the beam describes a circle/ ellipse on the "target", it's...
