The weird dark areas can be seen through the video, in particular there's a large dark region we see here centered on the N Later, we see this dip down to the level of the object. With a very similar thing with apparent movement So I think...

There's some oddness going on with the gain, and it's not clear what time this oddness happened. Here's is just before the "move". Note how "bright" it is (i.e. colder than the background) A few frames later it's less bright. I've stabilized it...

I'd vote number 2.

Must admit I disagree, but interesting to read your views. The Russian state (along with some others) is sufficiently bloody-minded and vindictive to deliberately cause great suffering to people it considers targets, e.g. Alexander Litvinenko...

It's worth noting that this article is from 2017. It's basically a highly speculative claim with no evidence. Unfortunately there's that significant financial motivation that can't help but skew his opinion: For the last four years, Beck, 57...

I can see two possibilities: 1) There is a legitimate device used by US enemies. 2) Someone scammed the intelligence community and made millions. I'll be interested to see what comes of this.

How accurate is the MGRS data? It's being calculated from the position of the drone angle of the camera down to a point on a 3D model of the ground over 20 miles away, so in that sense it's amzing it gets anywhere near accurate. But do we have...

I read the Good Trouble Show article. It's an excellent example of how not to use LLM AIs for scientific analysis. There are two fair or "OKish" points made by AIs in this article, but the rest is totally unreliable. To the extent that even the...

Interesting! It would seem the listing of the whole VASCO project in The New Science of Unidentified Aerospace-Undersea Phenomena is what got Villarreol a co-authorship for it. Many, if not most, of the co-authors didn't appear to actually write...

Thanks. I want through the Watters et al. pre-print. Sigh. Good points, but this means more work, too. My pipeline keeps record of plate IDs, and all relevant info from full plate headers, which are now published in the repository. This is true...
