Ann K reacted to JMartJr's post in the thread YouTube skeptics/debunkers that you would recommend with
Like.
I've been enjoying Dr. Noc since I started having him pushed at me by the FB algorithm. I've mostly seen his short-form content, there, but am starting to work through his stuff on YouTube. Hopefully it lives up to its promise. (He focuses on... -
Alien Chess Fiend reacted to Andreas's post in the thread Claim: Original Calvine UFO Photo with Like.
Valid point! It's almost impossible to say what it is since we are only seeing a 2D silhouette. It could be a kite, a star, some piece of junk, or something custom-made. While experimenting with different techniques to create a hoax photograph a... -

@Andreas, sorry for the delay, weather has not been cooperative! I finally just decided to mess with it indoors.This limits how far away from the kite I can get, but maybe it is still useful. If weather ever is nice, I'll try it outdoors, I am...

purpleivan reacted to Mendel's post in the thread Jake Barber tells Ross Coulthart about non-human technology - The "Egg" with
Agree.
It's a collection of stories. What you have is a collection of stories. That's why they don't need to be consistent. But they're not really linked to reality in a meaningful way. -
purpleivan reacted to MonkeeSage's post in the thread Jake Barber tells Ross Coulthart about non-human technology - The "Egg" with Agree.
There's an interesting internal dynamic where there seems to be a range of beliefs that are not internally consistent, like Eric Davis being a "nuts 'n' bolts" guy who thinks aliens are flying around in physical ships (albeit with advanced warp...

purpleivan reacted to NorCal Dave's post in the thread Jake Barber tells Ross Coulthart about non-human technology - The "Egg" with Like.
Agreed, but that can also go down the Inter-dimensional Bigfoot path. For many, Bigfoot has gone from a relic flesh and bone hominid roaming North America to a quasi-spirit being, or at least a creature that lives in another dimension. This shift...

Scaramanga replied to the thread Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident.Nevertheless the readings were higher in the vicinity of the 'landing'. One can quibble over 'near the indentations'...the point surely is that higher readings were associated with the scuffed area. And I totally agree with Ridpath's comments... -
Scaramanga replied to the thread Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident.I respectfully disagree.....as that is exactly how those witnesses are being treated. I am basically being told that numerous trained service personnel haven't the faintest idea what a star looks like and wouldn't recognise a lighthouse if they...

Scaramanga replied to the thread Claim: Original Calvine UFO Photo.I'm still inclined to the simplest explanation of all.... Everyone else is proposing that the 'UFO' is some sort of external object in the real world.....a rock in a pond, or a kite, or a model hanging from a tree. But by far the easiest hoax...

AAndreas replied to the thread Claim: Original Calvine UFO Photo.It is tempting to think of a kite (or a kite-shaped object), perhaps fastened to a fishing line using two pieces of Scotch tape. Again, we will probably never know for sure, but it remains a possibility.

AAndreas replied to the thread Claim: Original Calvine UFO Photo.I agree. And this is the heart of the matter. People do fake UFO photos, and since we have no idea who took the photo, it's pointless to speculate about a potential motive. And you don't even need a motive to fake a UFO photo, do you? I've had a...

AOh, the stories I could tell, but they'd be off topic! ^_^ On topic, it would also not be all that unusual to find a fighter kite that had been cut down or lost unrelated to a festival, in areas where some folks are flying them. They aren't...
