You know this, I know this, but clearly not everyone in the world knows this: If there's a discontinuity between the ratio of the size at a distance to the nearground object, and the size at the distance to the background, and you're tracking an...

Another key point is that what we see seems to be a kind of glare. Kind of unusual from a cold object, but did the object really change size? Both boxes are 5m wide.

I think it really can just be boiled down to the fact that the "fly-off", which looks like a camera motion, coincides exactly with a change in camera modes. This is unlikely to be a coincidence, given the alternative is breaking the laws of...

(Continuing discussion from post #228 in the Digitised Sky Survey POSS-1 thread): Trouble in paradise? Four of the five authors of "Critical Evaluation of Studies Alleging Evidence for Technosignatures in the POSS1-E Photographic Plates"...

I suppose they were, actually. It's just that we're looking at things from two different perspectives. Personally, it's enough for me if the photo could be a fake made with small models. They, on the other hand, want hard evidence proving that...

5) People saw something ordinary, perceived it as something extraordinary,and honestly reported what they think they saw. Please, please, please stop with this false dichotomy that either people are liars or the UFO stories are true. There is...

Perene, your contributions here have devolved into a Gish Gallop. You are attempting to overwhelm the discussion with a long list of speculative scenarios while ignoring the empirical data already provided. On a skeptical forum like this, we...

I begin to understand your attitude. You've just told us in blunt terms that you're prejudiced against one group, and it's not a great leap to wonder if you harbor a similar attitude toward others. You've scornfully dismissed the posts of every...

The Varginha incident is built primarily on the fragile architecture of human memory, sometimes resting upon the accounts of more than sixty individuals who claim to have glimpsed the incredible. Before navigating this labyrinth of sightings, it...

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...

Ah, I think I misunderstood a point you made in an earlier post (# 198). Is it right to say you don't think Carlos de Souza is telling the truth? The "Fantasies and Contradictions of the Varginha Case" article you linked to implies this (and I...
