Well ..."I didn't see anything" doesn't sell newspapers.

Agreed, in the sense that hallucinations cannot be shared. By definition they are subjective, and not reports of something that is objectively there. Misidentifications are not hallucinations. Groups of people can make the same misidentification...

I'll note that the "miracle of Fatima", viewers were not gathered there randomly. They were there because they had been told what to expect. (They had also been primed by their religious experiences to believe in miracles.) Between previous...

Your assertion is not supported by any evidence. We only have four contemporaneous testimonies: Andrew Greenwood (science teacher) (interviewed in the paper and a year later by James McDonald) Marilyn Eastwood (now Smith) (interviewed in the...

This is incorrect. The worker on the farm (Paul Smith) saw something entirely different: “I’ve always felt uncomfortable because my description is so totally different from what the school kids saw." Paul Smith, 2017 VUFOA conference...

Forum member @Charlie Wiser has a series of articles on the Westall case, examining the Project HIBAL balloon hypothesis and RAAF cover up hypothesis, looking at original reporting, witness statements in detail and linking to primary sources. I'm...

People who misjudge the size of the object also misjudge the distance. People who misjudge the distance misjudge the speed. Small and slow and near looks the same as big and fast and far away.

that's because Metabunk is a "coalition of the suspicious", so hear dog whistles where they might not exist. i'm not fully understanding Rick's esl use of english myself (ie what this argument is about), but the type of failure John has not seen...

As I expected, your supposed evidences here don't support your allegations about John Greenewald Jr., et all, therefore I quote you again as a last opportunity to clarify what you really meant by those allegations of yours that I previously...

When you say "As I expected", you're signalling that your conclusion was set before examining any evidence that could challenge your established perception of him. In posts #47 and #69, he provides the relevant evidence himself. However, if it...

But we know for a fact that most cases just don't happen that way. Reality is complicated and, almost always, several unrelated factors contribute to a certain outcome. Think of it like an air crash investigation. Almost always, a long chain of...

Hi everyone. My name is Xianghua. I was born in Kaohsiung and now I live in San Bernardino County. Please be kind to me.

He later did, yes. From time to time I remind him that he only has one more Oscar than I have, just to keep him humble...
