...and there is nothing that says you have to pick sunrise -- you could pick sunset, or midnight, or moonrise, or moonset, or the time any of the planets rise or set, etc. Nor does it have to be Regulus. SOMETHING will be at pretty much the...
Simply put he changed the date because he made a prediction based on an easily predictable celestial event and botched the date, but the correct date is easy to find, and he chose a bright star aligning with the sphinx and that has a history of...
Dr. Villarroell posted on X about a preprint that reports finding similar transients in sky survey from the 1950's conducted at Hamburg Observatory.

@MonkeeSage - beat me to it!
Another paper has been released stating that they have found "evidence of transients similar to those previously reported by the VASCO Project for POSS plates" but in other plates.

I'm calling it low quality because there's no indication that what he saw was the Phoenix Lights. He didn't even describe it as a formation or a V-shape.
I find this very sloppily worded:
"While the analysis is ongoing, one notable result is that our findings independently confirm that these transients exhibit systematically narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) compared to stellar point spread...

If we're speculating about motives, and I'd have to write a story about it, I'd portray Walton as someone who had successfully perpetrated a hoax, and who believed the Phoenix lights to be another hoax perpetrated by someone else. (This is borne...
Okay, turns out he was 21 so not exactly a kid. In the SUNlite article he's referred to as "young Mitch" and being out in the backyard with his mother, but the Ortega article from 1997 gives his age.
He saw "lights coming from the north" but...
I agree. It is worth bearing in mind that the Hills' hypnotherapist did not believe their story to be literally true:
Because of sleep problems and anxiety, Barney began to see a psychiatrist who referred him to a colleague, Dr. Benjamin Simon...
With respect, hypnosis doesn't confirm anything.
Under hypnosis, Barney Hill reported seeing a red-haired man (...I think of a red-haired Irishman...") and a Nazi in a black coat and scarf watching him from the UFO that supposedly abducted him...

Chris Bledsoe gave an interview with Shawn Ryan last month. Among other things, he told Mr. Ryan about a vision he had on Easter of 2012 where a woman appeared to him (he calls her "the lady" and "hathor") and she told him to start spreading the...
