If you're wanting a hand, then I'd be happy to contribute. Just DM me if so.

transparency without context is not transparency. it's just fodder for conspiracy theorists.

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...

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...

Is the transition from "RPOINT" to "RATE G" called by the operator, or an automatic switch after loss of lock? Because the 1st time it happens (0'27), I count 111 frames between the frame when the brackets disappear, to when "RPOINT" switches to...

@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...

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...

[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...

Travis Walton's case was the first (along with the Hills) that I looked into in 2021 when I made the site. I liked Raymond E. Fowler's theory that two crewmembers fooled the other five in order to have plausible witnesses. (Karl Pflock also...

I now use a 3D illuminated model of the Moon to accurately display the phase. I also added a "Celestial Lock" to the Camera -> Camera Heading, to let you lock the camera to point at a particular celestial body.

Here's an update from Norway with regard to the 2025 'drone' sightings (source: VG): Article in English here

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.

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.
