    What is unlikely is that a human was what they saw. From their description: - Big, red eyes. - I have a hard time believing any human would have prominent eyes of any color noticeable, unless seen from a very close distance. An animal could...

    Two thoughts occur: A smell need not be coming from the thing you are looking at while smelling it. and You may have been more fortunate than I gave been, in not being around some surprisingly stinky people. In addition to the variety of...

    Human memory isn’t ”flawed”, and I don’t think anyone is claiming such a thing. What actual memory science shows (decades of research, Elizabeth Loftus and others) is that memory isn't a video recording—it doesn't passively store events like a...

    From their own words, your quote: To me, looking at it, it wasn't something normal. But it had arms, legs, a head. "We couldn't really make out details". https://www.metabunk.org/threads/the-varginha-ufo.12725/post-363788 You cannot quote that...

    When/if you get this data, consider the location of the weather station (by the airport is a common location) and the sampling rate, i.e. how often the data is logged. As for point 1, there are monkeys that reach up to almost 1,5 meter in Brazil...

    that's how i remembered it too. i was very very wrong lol. maybe when people don't understand the concept of memory distorting over the years, we can suggest they rewatch this movie!

    That's the length in all fours and including the tail, not the height in a squatting position. The country lacks a monkey or ape that would fit the accounts, hence the suggestion of an imported species. They can reach 4.3 feet or 1.3 metres long...

    Other solutions offered by current DOW contractor Anduril Industries are integrated Counter UAS (anti-drone) defense systems built around their own hunter-killer drones. I like that these systems include the capability to correctly characterize...
