    I didn't explain that bit correctly, the "everything had to be a lie" was not what I meant (that everyone gathered and combined to tell fake stories). I was trying to say is that Ubirajara Rodrigues was at first convinced there was something...

    NAR mode, it'd be in the FOV. And because it is visible in NAR at the beginning, it would probably be visible too. Frustrating, like FLIR1 and that cut without a wider view being shown.

    This touches one of my favorite non-Moon-Hoax arguments. Even the tiniest particle (and moon dust is extremely fine) not only falls down relatively fast despite low gravity and due to no air-resistance; it always travels along perfect ballistic...

    @Perene Here's the google sheet with all the inconsistencies in Carlos de Souza story over the years. Source: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Vfe6T2hgEt0sT8sqYMDlvGHYx3sTdz5SEpBPMFSJp7E/edit?gid=388387704#gid=388387704 It's also...

    A film drama about Roswell "...that adapts real witness accounts" (i.e., makes things up for dramatic effect) isn't evidence of anything, except that the story can be exploited commercially. The Corona/ Roswell material was from a project Mogul...

    But where is the object when they zoom out again? When it zips off, it seems to do this because the camera is no longer panning right. It zips off at a high apparent speed. In the video above I have adjusted the zoom levels so they are all...

    I suspect this post should be in the other thread -- https://www.metabunk.org/threads/transients-in-the-palomar-observatory-sky-survey.14362/ -- since this one is for recreating the results.

    Under the view menu you can now toggle the display of a frame counter, video time, sim time, in variosu formats. You can position them within the video view. This also works in the stand-alone video viewer...

    [As a final note to this little incident, Journal Contributors John Pfannerstill and Karsten Rinkema have noted a brightening of the TV image at the right side of the frame, immediately after Dave finishes saying "Easy, Jim! Easy! Oop.". This is...

    Interesting. The folding mechanics of the rover were all spring loaded. Pins were being pulled out by wires and the corresponding part would fall into place. Springs, pins and wires had to go somewhere and maybe they kind of whipped up some dust...

    Using the slightly better quality version here, I converted it to real-time 30fps (29.97) The question that the promoters like Marik are holding out on is if the panning continues during the "fly-off". It's a little hard to see with all the...

    Primate intelligence was extensively studied 1960s-80s, including attempts to teach understanding of language (Washoe, Koko, Nim Chimpsky etc.) Unconnected to this, chimps (and much smaller primates) were used in early spaceflight experiments...

    For anyone interested there has been a paper published to Arxiv on Feb 4, 2026 critical of the VASCO POSS-1 Transients: Critical Evaluation of Studies Alleging Evidence for Technosignatures in the POSS1-E Photographic Plates by Wesley A Watters...

    You beat me to it. That was some wild-ass speculation going on with genetically modified apes flying around in cigar shaped UFOs, crashing in a farmers field, then one of them wondering over to town where it's mistaken for the Devil, then getting...
