    And yet many, many trained personnel have misidentified stars and planets in a wide variety of situations, over, and over and over and over again. As I'm sure you are aware. Anyone can make this kind of mistake. As an amateur astronomer, I have...

    JMartJr reacted to Andreas's post in the thread Claim: Original Calvine UFO Photo with Agree Agree.
    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...

    If non-human technology (or non-human intelligence) is a sort of inclusive term that allows UFOs and UFOnauts to be not human and not extraterrestrials in the conventional sense (e.g. biological creatures from a planet a certain number of light...

    Yeah, I think we all still consider that a possibility. A photo of a photo. Again, any number of relatively easy ways to construct the photo in camera, no need for darkroom manipulation. I think even that may be a possibility, but I don't know...

    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.

    Please cite an example where anybody here has said that witnesses have no idea what a star looks like. Please cite an example of anybody saying that witnesses would not recognize a lighthouse if they were sat on top of it. The point is undercut...

    you haven't seen the movie War Games, i take it? i think the quote means that the computer itself will make narrow (ie not big-picture) decisions, and ruin everything. i dont think its really about whether the programmer gets in trouble after...

    Milestone in my POSS‑I / VASCO replication project. All MNRAS‑compatible filters from Solano+Villarroel+Rodrigo (2022) are now implemented in my open‑source pipeline (two‑pass SExtractor/PSFEx, morphology gates, USNO‑B spike rules...

    I don't know.. I was surprised to hear that they have a number of them in various states of repair. If they are physical objects, they are incredibly advanced, appear to do magical things. I think they are stranger than just physical objects...

    It needn't even have been "pretty". If your intention is to get a photo of a reflected plane, you'd have to act fast, and that means that the photographer may not have deliberately "composed" the shot at all, just snapped the plane's reflection...
